Chapter 5 The Imperial Concubine 5
Luo Xi watched as the letter was burned to ashes.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She cast a love potion on the emperor.
As long as her love potion remains in the emperor's body, he can only love her and can only touch her; he cannot touch anyone else.
However, this curse can be cured.
The antidote is the person the afflicted person truly loves. As long as that person appears before him, the love-struck gu will sense his feelings for another person, and it will waver. Once it wavers, it will try every means to escape from this body.
Once the Love Gu leaves the Emperor's body, it will die, and the Emperor's affection for her will also disappear.
Therefore, Ning Zhirou must die in order to secure her position as empress.
Luo Xi walked up to Pei Zhiyan, put her arms around his waist, and leaned against him. Her eyes gradually turned cold as she said softly, "Your Majesty, I wish to return to the Prime Minister's residence tomorrow."
Pei Zhiyan: !!
"Then shall I accompany you back?"
Luo Xi blinked, concealing the fierceness in her eyes, and smiled slightly, "No need, Your Majesty, I can go back by myself."
Pei Zhiyan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, remember to come back tonight."
Luo Xi smiled, looked up, tiptoed slightly, kissed his cheek, and said, "Okay, I understand."
The next day.
The Prime Minister's study.
Luo Xi handed a bottle of poison to Prime Minister Luo and said calmly, "Father, this poison is called 'Spring and Summer.' Anyone who is poisoned by this will surely die."
"I do not want to see either of them still alive."
Prime Minister Luo reached out and took it, asking, "Xi'er, where did you get this poison?"
Luo Xi raised her eyes slightly, "Father, you don't need to know this. You just need to know that it is highly poisonous."
"You want them to smear this poison on their swords? I refuse to believe their lives can be so tough!"
It's incredibly lucky that someone could survive falling off a cliff and not even lose an arm or a leg!
Heaven seems to favor them far too much; it's truly enviable.
Prime Minister Luo: ...........
He truly hadn't expected that Luo Xi would change so much after entering the palace.
Luo Xi looked at Prime Minister Luo and said with a half-smile, "When I came in just now, I also saw Aunt Lian."
Prime Minister Luo: !!!
"Could it be that Father can't bring himself to do it?"
Luo Xi gently touched her abdomen.
Prime Minister Luo was startled when he saw her actions!
"Xi'er, are you pregnant with the imperial heir?"
Luo Xi responded with a faint "yes".
Prime Minister Luo: !!!
“I will find a reason to deal with her in a few days.”
"No need, I want to see it with my own eyes today."
Prime Minister Luo: !!!
After all, he had doted on Aunt Lian for so many years, and she had even given him a son and a daughter.
He had originally planned to secretly send her away. Now it seems that won't work.
He closed his eyes and said, "Guards, bring Aunt Lian here."
Servant: ? ? ?
"Yes, sir."
Fifteen minutes later.
"Clap clap clap!"
Aunt Lian lay sprawled on the bench, two guards standing on either side of her, each holding a heavy wooden stick. They struck her forcefully. A large piece of cloth was stuffed into her mouth, and tears streamed down her face from the pain. Blood trickled from her buttocks, dripping onto the ground...
Prime Minister Luo looked away with a pang of heartache, while Luo Xi watched the scene with a cold expression.
An hour later,
The guard stopped and reported, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Consort Lian has passed away."
Luo Xi: "Keep hitting him, hit him 80 times."
Prime Minister Luo: !!!
Guard: !!!
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Two hours later, the 80 strokes of the cane were finished.
Aunt Lian had been beaten until she was covered in blood and gore.
Luo Xi stood up, went to see her mother, spoke for a while, and then returned directly to the palace.
Since Aunt Lian dared to bully her and her mother for many years by taking advantage of her father's favor, she certainly wouldn't let her off the hook.
As for her son and daughter, rest assured, she will soon send them down to keep her company.
As for Prime Minister Luo, his favoritism towards his concubine over his wife was the root cause of all the suffering she and her mother endured. If he hadn't favored his concubine over his wife, Aunt Lian wouldn't have been so arrogant and dared to bully her mother...
Last time, he even threatened her with her mother's life, forcing her to enter the palace.
Even if he were her father, she would not let him get away with any of these things.
However, he is still useful to her. Once his men kill Ning Zhirou and Song Jingrui, he won't be able to live anymore...
night,
Pei Zhiyan pressed down on Luo Xi, and Luo Xi reached out and pressed against his chest.
"Your Majesty, I am pregnant."
Pei Zhiyan: !!
He hurriedly got off her, utterly incredulous.
He reached out and gently touched her belly. "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Luo Xi said with a hint of resentment, "Yesterday at breakfast, I had no appetite, so Zhuzhu went to the Imperial Hospital and summoned Physician Li to examine my pulse."
"It's been a month."
"Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial Palace yesterday to tell you about this matter."
"However, when I arrived at the Hall of Pilgrimage, I saw the letters that other women had sent to Your Majesty. In my anger, I forgot about the matter. You cannot blame me for that."
Pei Zhiyan: !!
"It is my fault."
Five days later,
Prime Minister Luo sent a letter to the palace, which contained only one word: "Success."
Luo Xi gave a cold laugh, clutching the letter tightly.
Ning Zhirou is not dead; she is still alive.
Prime Minister Luo is lying to her. Does he think she doesn't know?
When the Emperor asked her to leave the palace to persuade Ning Zhirou to return, she placed a tracking Gu on Ning Zhirou. With Ning Zhirou's current medical skills, she couldn't detect the existence of the tracking Gu at all.
As long as Ning Zhirou is alive and gets closer to her, she will be able to sense her presence.
She sensed it now, so Ning Zhirou wasn't dead at all; it must have been Prime Minister Luo's men who brought her back.
Is Prime Minister Luo using Ning Zhirou to threaten her because he feels she is out of control?
Fortunately, she had already made preparations.
She has three Gu poisons.
One of them was a love potion, which was given to the emperor.
Secondly, it was given to Ning Zhirou as a tracking Gu.
The third one was the Puppet Gu, which was given to Prime Minister Luo.
She needs to find a time to activate the puppet gu and have Prime Minister Luo kill Ning Zhirou and Song Jingrui first, lest things get complicated.
Oh! And while you're at it, let him kill his children and send them down to join their aunt...
