"I mean, you're as cute as a pig."
Nanzhi: It would be better not to coax her at all.
Seeing that she was still unhappy, Xiao Lanchuan thought for a moment and said, "Pigs aren't as cute as you."
Seeing that the more he tried to coax her, the angrier she became, and finally turned her back to him, Xiao Lanchuan couldn't figure out what went wrong.
He was clearly praising her sincerely; women's minds are so hard to understand.
Xiao Lanchuan stared at her for most of the night without closing his eyes, and only left when he saw that she was fast asleep.
When Nan Zhi woke up, she saw that Xiao Lan Chuan's favorability was still at 80%, and although his points had increased, he was still 890 points away from 10,000.
In her previous life, Xiao Lanchuan completely lost his mind a year later. There's still plenty of time; she should have enough to earn.
But Nanzhi never expected that an accident would suddenly happen.
The eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager was to find Xiao Jingyi.
At that time, Xiao Jingyi had just come out of the room, and there was still an indescribable smell on him.
The eunuch was a shrewd man; he naturally knew what had happened.
But he couldn't afford to gossip right now. Remembering the Empress Dowager's instructions, he quickly leaned close to Xiao Jingyi's ear and whispered a few words.
Looking for someone?
Xiao Jingyi suppressed his annoyance at being disturbed, somewhat puzzled as to why the Empress Dowager was in such a hurry to have him search for someone so late at night.
Do you know what he looks like?
The eunuch shook his head and said, "The Empress Dowager said that the man is about forty years old now, tall, with a black mole on the corner of his mouth, and is very resourceful. Your Highness can follow these clues to find him."
After giving the eunuch the message, he told Xiao Jingyi about the events that had occurred with the Empress Dowager in the past two days.
"The Empress Dowager said that the Emperor has become suspicious, and Your Highness should be careful. You should not enter the palace until you find the person."
After the eunuch left, Xiao Jingyi seemed to be deep in thought.
Why is the Empress Dowager in such a hurry to find someone? Could it be related to Xiao Lanchuan?
When the higher-ups came to inspect Xianxi Palace, they found nothing wrong.
No more spies were found in the inner palace.
The Empress Dowager looked at the jade pendant left by Xiao Lanchuan, but the more she thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyi found the person.
After waiting for some time and seeing that the authorities had relaxed their vigilance, Xiao Jingyi quietly led his men to Xianxi Palace.
When the Empress Dowager saw him, her expression changed, and she asked, "It really is you. Do you still remember me?"
To make it easier to enter the palace, the man disguised himself as a eunuch. His slightly cloudy eyes looked at the Empress Dowager, and he did not kneel down. His back was straight, and he had the air of an immortal.
"Of course I remember. I had foreseen that the Empress Dowager would come looking for me."
The Empress Dowager was startled: "You knew?"
The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking mysterious and unfathomable, and said, "Six years ago, I met the Empress Dowager and cast a divination for her before I went on a journey. Originally, after that divination, the world would surely be at peace, but who would have thought that I would cast another divination today and discover an anomaly in the celestial phenomena, so I hurriedly returned to wait for the Empress Dowager to find me."
The man's words were cryptic and cryptic.
Xiao Jingyi was completely confused, but the Empress Dowager's expression changed drastically.
"An unusual celestial phenomenon?"
"Yes, the Ziwei Star should have dimmed and fallen, but it has suddenly become bright in the last six months. The reason behind this is still unknown."
The Ziwei star represents the emperor, which is Xiao Lanchuan.
Suddenly things became clear?
Could it be because of Nam Gyi?
The Empress Dowager was startled, but then, remembering something, she calmed down and asked, "When you told my fortune that day, I saw what looked like a jade pendant on your waist. Do you still have it? Could you show it to me?"
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager mention the jade pendant, the man's eyes flickered for a moment, but he said calmly, "Your Majesty has a good memory. However, I lost the jade pendant during my travels. Please forgive me."
is that so?
The Empress Dowager tried hard to recall what the jade pendant looked like, but she only had a vague impression and was not sure if it was the same as the one in Zhang Mama's hand.
So she took out Zhang Mama's jade pendant and asked the man, "What a coincidence! I found one by chance when I was out on a tour. Do you think it's yours?"
The man stared at the jade pendant for a second, then turned his face away and denied it.
Could it be that I really remembered it wrong?
The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples, realizing that her memory was getting worse and worse.
Later, the man wanted to speak with the Empress Dowager alone, so she asked Xiao Jingyi to leave first.
Once only the two of them were in the hall, the man suddenly said seriously, "Your Majesty, time is of the essence."
The Empress Dowager looked somewhat tired: "I did as you said, and with a heavy heart, I gave him a poison that would kill his offspring. But perhaps it was fate that he has held on until now. Do you want me to do it again?"
The Empress Dowager always felt a pang of guilt when she thought of how much Xiao Lanchuan trusted her.
If the man hadn't said that after Xiao Lanchuan became emperor, his offspring would kill her and Xiao Jingyi, how could she have committed such a heinous act against him?
Seeing her hesitation, the man lowered his voice and said, "Isn't Your Majesty afraid that the Emperor will find out that you betrayed the late Emperor back then?"
The Empress Dowager, as if some secret had been exposed, shouted sternly, "Shut up!"
The man chuckled leisurely, “It’s alright if Your Majesty is reluctant. The day I divined is not far off. If Your Majesty dares to gamble, then so be it.”
The Empress Dowager remained silent.
But his expression clearly showed hesitation.
The man placed a packet of medicine on the table. “If Your Majesty has made up your mind, then put this in the Emperor’s food and you can rest easy from now on. If you haven’t made up your mind, then you can continue to live in fear.”
After saying that, the man turned to leave.
Just as the Empress Dowager was about to call out to him, she saw the man retreat step by step as if he had seen something terrifying.
The man had just reached the entrance of the palace when, before he could even take a step, he bumped into someone walking slowly toward him.
The palace lanterns under the eaves fell all over him, illuminating his face, which held a sinister smile.
The man looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with terror. For every step the other person took, he would take a step back in fear.
Finally, he was so frightened that he fell down on his backside at the Empress Dowager's feet.
The Empress Dowager was genuinely frightened. She quickly tucked the medicine from the table into her sleeve, stared at Xiao Lanchuan who had appeared, and forced a smile: "Why has my son come?"
Xiao Lanchuan sat calmly in the chair next to the Empress Dowager: "Of course I miss Mother."
The Empress Dowager tried her best to remain calm and maintained her composure as she rebuked the man who had fallen to the ground: "How dare you be so reckless! Go out and be punished!"
The Empress Dowager had no idea how much Xiao Lanchuan had actually heard.
Xiao Jingyi is the same; if he's not guarding the outside, where has he gone?
After hearing that the Empress Dowager was helping him, the man hurriedly got up, bowed to the two of them, and then tried to leave.
But after taking only a few steps, he was forced back by a guard who held a sword to his neck.
The Empress Dowager panicked: "My son, what does this mean?"
"Mother, do not be afraid. I only heard that an assassin came to Xianxi Palace. I was afraid that he would harm you, so I brought people to capture him."
“My son, he is not an assassin.”
"Isn't that right?" Xiao Lanchuan slowly looked at the man. "Why do I feel that he's strange?"
He tapped his fingers on the table a few times as if playing a piano, then suddenly stopped and said, "I understand what's wrong."
He slowly smiled and said, "I don't think he's a eunuch."
"Take his pants off."
