Lu Qingyan waved her hand, signaling Huixiang to take most of the concubines away and have the guards start beating the drums. Bai Li was still wondering what she was going to do when she saw Zongzheng Shen curl up on the ground, convulsing, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Bai Li wanted to hug Zongzheng Shen with heartache, but he pushed her away uncontrollably. She could only shed tears on the side: "Shen, how are you?"
"So it was you, you poisonous woman!" Zongzheng Shen gritted his teeth as he looked at Lu Qingyan.
Last time, he heard someone playing drums in this very hall, and then he suffered unbearable abdominal pain. He wondered who was trying to harm him, and after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find out. He never expected it to be Lu Qingyan, whom he had always considered harmless.
He wanted to pounce on Lu Qingyan and kill her, or even take her down with him, but he had no strength and could only lie limply on the ground, enduring the pain while watching Lu Qingyan and Jun Jiuxian flirt without a care in the world.
He wouldn't blame Bai Li for making him relinquish power to Jun Jiuxian, nor would he regret that things had developed to this point because of his momentary greed.
He would only hate the two people in front of him, feeling that they were heartless and had betrayed his trust. If he had known they were this kind of people, he should have killed them from the beginning, preventing them from having a chance to grow.
It's a shame I miscalculated and wasn't on guard against those two; now I don't even have a trusted confidant by my side.
Lu Qingyan looked at Jun Jiuxian, who stood there covered in blood, his eyes fixed on her, which reassured her.
"Ah Jiu, go to my palace to change your clothes. I'll tell the Emperor an interesting story, which I'm sure he'll enjoy hearing." Lu Qingyan smiled, a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Good stories are meant to be shared with many people, aren't they? She couldn't wait to see Zongzheng Shen's expression change.
Jun Jiuxian looked at Lu Qingyan with amusement on his face and couldn't bear to interrupt or refuse her. He was also a little worried about leaving her here alone: "My injuries are nothing serious. I'll stay here with you."
Lu Qingyan ran over and kissed him: "If you don't go wash now, you'll smell bad later, and I won't want you anymore."
Jun Jiuxian's face darkened: "You're trying to abandon me again?"
Again? Lu Qingyan recalled the childhood entanglement between Jun Jiuxian and the original owner.
The system quickly reassured her: "Master, don't be angry. Your crush loves you the most. If you hadn't come here, nothing would have happened between them."
Ha, which eye of yours saw that I was angry? Just from the story, you can tell they were young back then. You expect two little kids to be in love? They were just a little jealous.
Lu Qingyan rolled her eyes at Jun Jiuxian: "Then why don't you hurry up and go over there?"
And so, everyone watched as Jun Jiuxian left with a silly grin. The maids, Huixiang and Huicao, sighed: "It seems Prime Minister Jun is the Empress's true love!"
Fortunately, Zongzheng Shen is now a prisoner, the Prime Minister holds great power, and the Lu family is still at its peak, so their relationship will not end without a trace.
Then they will have a little master.
Lu Qingyan had no idea what the girls were thinking. She looked down at Zongzheng Shen, who was in increasing pain, until he was too exhausted to move anymore. Only then did she slowly sit back down in her chair and sip a cup of tea.
"Zongzheng Shen, do you believe that there can really be two completely unrelated people in this world who are exactly the same?" She didn't tell this story directly from the beginning, but instead posed this question.
