Chapter 67: The Vicious Queen Mother vs. the Beautiful Factory Manager (65)
"......yes!"
Ming An, who had already noticed the strange atmosphere between the two, nodded silently.
"Recently, a group of people in the General's Mansion have been secretly discussing how to speak up for Sheng Jiangqi. But early this morning, a maidservant close to Concubine Li Menghua came to accuse her of having Madam Li poison the Empress Dowager, and that the poison was buried in Concubine Li's yard."
"As for Sheng Jiangqi, the maid couldn't explain clearly, so the situation remained at a stalemate, and the Dali Temple Shaoqing continued the interrogation."
If you insist that Sheng Jiangqi was also involved, that would be unreasonable.
After all, everyone knows that Sheng Jiangqi still relies on Sheng Wu to contact the harem. He must be crazy to want the Queen Mother Sheng Wu to die.
Hearing this, Pei Yuqing's eyes sank slightly. The only person he arranged was Nanny Li, and the extra maids were probably...
It was Xiao Luochen's own handwriting...
Sheng Wu also thought of this and suddenly looked up at Pei Yuqing.
Asked in a slightly serious tone.
"Have you dealt with all the family members you threatened Madam Li?"
Pei Yuqing narrowed his sinister peach blossom eyes, showing a coldness.
"nature."
He is not the kind of person who would show mercy.
And he was not surprised that Sheng Wu, this crazy woman, would also wipe out the roots.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu's eyes drooped coldly, not realizing at all that she was taking human life lightly.
She only cares about whether her goal is achieved.
Sheng Wu's extremely beautiful profile frowned as she thought about something. She suddenly raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Pei Yuqing.
"You, send someone to the General's Mansion to dilute the arsenic and apply it to my mother and brother. It won't kill them, but there will be blood!"
The narrow, cold fox eyes glanced sideways, and there seemed to be a hint of blood in the depths of the pupils.
When these words came out, Pei Yuqing's pupils were slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, the black ball exploded first.
[Host, no! If you hurt the mother and brother that the original owner Sheng Wu cares about, it will cause a negative evaluation on the mission!]
[Why are you panicking? I've already said it, it's not fatal. It's just a bloody scene, and it's just a way to frame Li Menghua.]
[But...] Although he said so, Heituanzi still felt that something was wrong.
[Alright! I said I won't die, and that's it!]
Sheng Wu interrupted coldly.
As soon as she said this, Heituanzi realized that her patience was running out, so she pursed her lips, drooped her ears, and went to the corner to cry silently.
Woo woo woo, sir, you lied to me, the host is not gentle at all!
And the outside world.
Pei Yuqing narrowed his dark eyes and spoke in a concentrated tone.
"what are you up to?"
Although he had a vague guess in his heart, he was still a little surprised. Didn't this woman care so much about her mother and brother before, and was willing to be controlled by Sheng Jiangqi? Why now?
They would actually use the lives of these two people as a bet!
Sheng Wu slowly curled her lips and looked at Pei Yuqing with sarcasm in her eyes.
"You guessed it, didn't you? Xiao Luochen is the one who framed the General's Mansion. I also hate the General's Mansion so much, so I'm just adding fuel to the fire!"
After a pause, she lowered her eyes slightly, picked up the teapot casually, poured herself a cup of tea, and spoke in a lazy and cold tone.
"After all, the main supporter of the General's Mansion faction is my grandfather, a cabinet veteran of two dynasties. Although he is old now and no longer in charge of affairs, he still loves my mother very much. He usually maintains neutrality in the court. Now he supports Sheng Jiangqi, which is probably because of this. If I am poisoned to death by Sheng Jiangqi's concubine, and my mother and brother are also murdered, my grandfather will do everything he can to get involved."
"And you, secretly go and expose the conspiracy of Sheng Jiangqi through his concubines, win over officials, and pass the evidence to Xiao Luochen. Of course, even if the initial accusation is just Li Menghua's poisoning of the Queen Mother, Sheng Jiangqi won't be able to do anything, but when the wall falls, everyone will push it, and there will always be a time for his downfall."
As she spoke, Sheng Wu curled her lips and smiled faintly. She didn't drink the first cup of tea that was poured out, but held it directly in her hand.
She stretched it forward, the cup tilted, and she moved it from left to right, and in an instant, all the tea spilled onto the ground.
"In this case, the General's Mansion is in danger!"
Her charming and delicate face is as vicious and cruel as a demon.
The curvature of the lips and the cinnabar teardrop mole at the end of the eye make her look particularly dazzling.
Hearing this, Pei Yuqing couldn't help but feel that the beautiful and enchanting woman in front of him was a devil!
She is even more cruel than me!
After all, the General's Mansion was where she grew up, especially if the General's Mansion was charged with conspiracy to rebel.
Then, not to mention Sheng Jiangqi’s main relatives, even the servants and maids, as well as the surrounding ethnic groups, will be implicated!
But.
"Xiao Luochen is very suspicious, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?"
Sheng Wu, however, smiled charmingly, her eyes fearless, or perhaps, she didn't care at all.
"What am I afraid of? If he finds out I'm still alive, do you think a woman in the emperor's heart will be short of wealth and glory? Even if you tell the truth, with me here, do you think Xiao Luochen will trust a woman devoted to him, or a treacherous minister like you whom he wants to get rid of as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, Pei Yuqing narrowed his eyes. He naturally understood this logic. This was also one of the reasons why he did not use this matter to threaten her.
However, his words were also a disguised test of her.
This woman really thought of a way out for herself!
Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows and poured a second cup of tea, which she drank herself this time.
"Alright, now that Xiao Luochen is also intent on killing the General's Mansion and has already taken action, quickly go and drug my mother and brother. Even if Xiao Luochen guessed it was your handiwork, he knows better than anyone that eliminating the General's Mansion is the best outcome. Who knows, this might be your only chance to work together."
After all, it is better for the court to have two factions fighting each other than a three-way stand.
Furthermore, once the power of the General's Mansion collapses, the confiscated property and other forces will naturally be divided up under the most direct order of Emperor Xiao Luochen.
Pei Yuqing narrowed his eyes and did not agree directly. He obviously thought that once the General's Mansion collapsed, he would not get any benefits.
"What about you? What I've done for you now has far exceeded the list of spies you gave me as agreed upon. And you haven't even given me that list yet."
The narrow and sinister peach blossom eyes narrowed, revealing a cold and sharp look.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu took a sip of tea and then slowly lowered her head.
"I'll write the list down for you later. Don't worry, I stumbled upon it once, but Sheng Jiangqi burned it out of concern. I'm not sure if he's kept a copy, but now, only he and I know it. And if he's imprisoned and caught, wouldn't you be able to take over some of the spies Sheng Jiangqi has planted with Xiao Luochen?"
After a pause, he said, "As for the rest..."
She slowly raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Yuqing, neither cold nor hot. Her pair of seductive fox eyes were filled with sarcasm and her tone was cold.
"Why are you tolerating me now? It's my bargaining chip, and it's yours too."
When Pei Yuqing heard this, his eyes turned cold and poisonous, biting Sheng Wu. So, this crazy woman really wanted to use cold poison to control and command herself all the time!
But soon, he took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
"good!"
"But, you have to know when to torture me with this cold poison! After you finish your work, I will let you go, and you must restore me to my original state! Otherwise, we will die together!"
This was not a joke. Pei Yuqing looked at Sheng Wu coldly. If she was determined to control and humiliate herself later, then...
Once he completes his revenge, he will drag her to hell with him!
He would rather die than let her be humiliated like this!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue taking advantage of Sheng Wu’s viciousness and intelligence, but she is too dangerous and he has no control over her at all!
