"Since I am his royal aunt, it's not too much for me to teach him a lesson, is it?"
Gu Chaoxi used her fingertips to dig back and forth on Lu Zhao's chest, her cunning and lively eyes glancing at him furtively.
Both her words and actions were incredibly alluring to Lu Zhao.
The young girl was the wife he had chosen; wasn't she the emperor's aunt?
“Of course, you are the wife I have chosen, so it is only right that I discipline a disobedient junior. If you have any ideas, Xi’er, feel free to tell me, and I will teach him a lesson for you.”
The little girl in his arms had her eyes darting around, and Lu Zhao guessed that she already had quite a few bad ideas in her mind.
Gu Chaoxi had been waiting for this sentence, so she quickly leaned close to Lu Zhao's ear and told him her thoughts.
Lu Zhao's eyes darkened slightly. The emperor's constant coveting of his woman greatly displeased him. Even if Xi'er hadn't said anything, he would have secretly taught him a lesson. Since Xi'er brought it up herself, he would do as she suggested and give the emperor a small punishment as a warning.
“Alright, I’ll send someone to buy the medicine tomorrow,” Lu Zhao readily agreed.
Gu Chaoxi immediately stuffed two packets of powder into his palm, "These are sleeping pills and aphrodisiac."
Lu Zhao's brow twitched as he looked at the two packets of powder in his hand. One packet, bulging and unopened, was a sleeping potion, while the other, half-empty, was a numbing agent, clearly used.
"How...how could you have something like this?"
Lu Zhao had a bad feeling. He recalled that in the woodshed of the Marquis's mansion, he and Gu Chaoxi had their first intimate encounter after being given medicine. He still remembered that strong primal urge.
He had always believed that they had been set up by someone else, and had been secretly investigating who was responsible ever since. Now it seems... that wasn't the case?
The other half of this medicine was used on him, right?
Gu Chaoxi had momentarily forgotten about it. There was only one packet of the "Soul-Stealing Powder" in the gift bag. She had given half to Lu Zhao and had half left. Without thinking much, she just took it out and gave it to Lu Zhao.
Oh no, this body doesn't seem to be very bright.
Gu Chaoxi lowered her eyes, her gaze darting around, trying to bluff her way out. "I bought the sleeping potion for self-defense. The other one, the other one, I wanted to buy to try with you. I didn't dare buy too much, I only bought half a packet."
"Give it a try?"
They can even come up with lies like this.
Lu Zhao snorted coldly, mercilessly exposing her, "You've been staying in the villa all this time, where did you find the time to buy medicine?"
There's only one possibility: she bought these drugs a long time ago.
"Was it you who drugged me in the woodshed that day?"
Lu Zhaofeng narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Gu Chaoxi who looked guilty.
Gu Chaoxi looked at him innocently, "It wasn't me."
Lu Zhao remained silent.
After a moment of tense silence, Gu Chaoxi, in a fit of desperation, shoved him away, saying, "So what if I drugged you? If you weren't so good-looking, I wouldn't have chosen you!"
“That day, my fiancé cheated on me with my maid, and I'm not even allowed to find someone new? When I saw you lying there covered in blood, looking completely helpless, I couldn't help myself…”
Gu Chaoxi's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until finally she seemed too ashamed to continue.
Thinking about it now, she really was a beast back then. Luckily, Lu Zhaoming was tough enough; if she had tormented him to death, he would have become the talk of the town and been remembered for eternity.
Then, tears streamed down her face. "If you mind that I schemed against you, then leave. We can cut all ties from now on. I can raise my child on my own and do just fine."
Lu Zhao, "..."
He hasn't said anything yet, how did it suddenly come to the point of severing ties?
Lu Zhao found it somewhat amusing, pulled her back into his arms, and reached out to wipe her tears. "Why are you crying? I didn't say I was blaming you."
Recalling the first time he saw her, Lu Zhao felt that even without the Chinese medicine, he would not have been able to refuse this woman.
Now he is only grateful that he was the one who stumbled into the Marquis's mansion by chance, and that he was also the one she met.
"You don't need these medicines next time. With Xi'er here, I can always..."
at any time……
Gu Chaoxi blushed again. How could this person be so shameless?
After calming the girl who was having wild thoughts and seeing her fall asleep, Lu Zhao picked up two packets of medicine powder from the table, called over Jin Yang who was guarding in the shadows, gave him the packets, and whispered a few instructions.
Jin Yang's eyes widened in shock. This... wouldn't the emperor kill someone when he wakes up?
...
The next day was a day off, so there was no need to attend court. The emperor's eunuch, De Gong, was quietly taking a nap outside the palace.
Suddenly, a scream rang out from inside the hall, followed by a furious roar, "Get out!!!"
Grandpa De immediately woke up and hurriedly went inside with a heavy heart.
The palace was in complete disarray, especially the bed, where the emperor sat, his anger blazing.
Four women of different appearances knelt on the ground, trembling.
If there's anything they have in common, it's that they're all ugly.
When the emperor woke up and found that he had slept with these ugly women, he felt as if the sky had fallen and he had suddenly become dirty.
"Who are you? How did you get in?!"
The woman in the lead was very puzzled, but still answered in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it was you who sent people to bring us into the palace last night."
The emperor carefully recalled the events of the previous night, only remembering that after falling asleep, he vaguely felt hot all over, and then a woman came to his bedside.
He glanced at her and saw Gu Chaoxi's face. The person he had been thinking about for so long was suddenly throwing herself into his arms; how could he resist? He immediately pulled her into his arms and pressed her down on the bed.
However, the beauty seemed to be heavier than he had imagined.
He couldn't remember anything else.
Could it be that he favors these old and ugly women instead of Gu Chaoxi?
The emperor was shocked and furious. When he saw Eunuch Zhang enter, he angrily questioned, "Zhang Dehai, what exactly happened?"
The eunuch looked puzzled. "Your Majesty, I was following your orders and went outside the palace overnight to find these women. They were all older and plain-looking, just as you requested."
He received the emperor's order in the middle of the night. Eunuch De didn't understand it, but he respected it. He went to great lengths to find four women who met the requirements.
They rushed back to the palace before dawn, escorted the women to their bedchambers, and didn't even close their eyes for a moment.
"You're saying that I asked you to retrieve all of these?"
Grandpa De nodded.
How could that be? He only had a few drinks last night; he shouldn't be this drunk. The emperor's face alternated between black and green; he would rather die than favor these women.
He vaguely remembered that when he was exhausted, one of the burly women shamelessly forced herself on him, regardless of his life or death!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt humiliated, and he probably carried the shadow of this incident for a long time to come!
