In the side hall were only Sheng Wu, Li Shuhuai and Su Yi who was holding medicine.
After he was bandaged, Sheng Wu said softly.
"Doctor Li, is there anyone at home?"
These words made Li Shuhuai's hands tremble. He intuitively knew that this was not a good thing, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and behave himself.
"Your Highness, I have two elder brothers and two younger sisters at home."
"Are they all married?"
"...Your Majesty, not yet." Li Shuhuai's drooping pupils trembled.
"Oh..." Sheng Wu nodded. "It just so happens that the Emperor is going to choose a concubine. I wonder what Doctor Li thinks."
The hints from both of them were too obvious. After the words were spoken, Li Shuhuai was so frightened that he stopped breathing and quickly kowtowed and knelt on the ground.
"I hope the Empress Dowager will understand that my two younger sisters are only twelve years old at most, and it is not yet time for them to talk about marriage!"
What does the Queen Mother mean by this?!
Seeing how nervous and frightened he was, Sheng Wu chuckled softly, turned her head slightly, lowered her eyes, and glanced at the person on the ground.
"I remember that you were admitted to the Imperial Hospital last year, right?"
Now that there was no one watching her, she could naturally threaten people.
"Yes!" His voice trembled.
"So, you don't have any support behind you."
His tone was somewhat certain, otherwise, Li Shuhuai would not have been left behind to be bandaged.
Li Shuhuai, who had been in the palace for a year, knew what this meant and his face turned pale with fear.
"My Lady, my family has fallen on hard times and I am not considered a noble son."
This statement is a subtle way of expressing that he has no one to rely on.
Sheng Wu was expecting this. She picked at the crimson cardamom on her fingertips out of boredom, her tone cold.
"It's just right. You can be my secret agent. I will ensure that your family has no worries about food and clothing. Your two sisters can also be married off to good families, and you can secure the highest position in the Imperial Hospital."
Hearing this, Li Shuhuai, who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, frowned deeply and did not dare to agree. After all, there were too many clues about the previous dynasty in the harem, and he did not want to get involved in this muddy water.
But before he could open his mouth to refuse, Sheng Wu spoke before him, as if she knew what he would say.
"Of course, you have no choice. I don't like being offended. You know, I have the General's Mansion behind me, and I have some connections with the Emperor."
Oh, Xiao Luochen wanted to strangle his relationship.
After a pause, he continued, "If you don't agree, I might as well tell you straight out that your peaceful house will burn to ashes overnight, and maybe your two elders will die in it. As for your two well-behaved sisters, they will probably end up in a brothel."
This is a very vicious method.
"you!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Li Shuhuai, who had been hesitant and respectful just now, suddenly raised his head and glared at Sheng Wu with anger and resentment in his eyes.
It was as if everything she had just described had become reality.
How could this seemingly beautiful and gentle woman have such a vicious mind!
Even the palace maid Su Yi, who was holding the medicine next to her, couldn't help but look at Sheng Wu a few more times in horror.
Miss, how could she be so cruel and ruthless? She was just arrogant and domineering before...
However, Sheng Wu seemed to be unaware of it and continued to smile beautifully. The more stunning and brilliant her smile was, the more poisonous her words were.
"Also, don't try to join Xiao Luochen. Otherwise, you can try. Your legs are fast, or."
"I'm so fast I set fire to your house!"
"Okay, think about it carefully."
After saying that, Sheng Wu stood up, wearing a long crimson peony dress with gold threads that trailed on the ground, and moved slowly.
"If you've made up your mind, take the opportunity to send me some mild poison while you're delivering medicine."
After saying that, he took Suyi's hand and left gracefully.
Of course, everyone knows that Li Shuhuai has no choice.
After returning to the bedroom, Suyi helped Shengwu to wash and dress, and looked at her face hesitantly through the mirror again and again.
Seeing this, Sheng Wu said coldly, "Why, do you also think I'm a bit cruel?"
"I dare not!"
Su Yi's face turned pale and she quickly knelt down.
"Yeah, I looked so cruel just now."
Sheng Wu didn't let her get up, but raised her hand and stroked her body in the mirror. She herself hadn't touched a warm body for almost a thousand years.
The gentle voice was plain and cold.
"But Sheng Jiangqi used my mother and brother to threaten me into marrying an old man. Isn't that cruel? Xiao Luochen also hates me and wants to get rid of me as well after he steps down from the General's Mansion. Isn't that cruel?"
Although a large part of it was done by the original owner herself, but now that she is here, if people don't take care of themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth, right?
"If it's just bribery, how many people would be willing to help me quickly and sincerely? Only by intimidation, by firmly grasping his lifeblood, will he listen to me and do things for me."
Rather than trying to persuade people with kind words, she always prefers to take the most convenient way.
Forced threats!
Isn't this quite useful?
Hearing this, Su Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned deeply. She wanted to refute, but she had nothing to say.
After all, her own relatives were in the hands of the general.
I haven't seen it for three months now!
Finally, Su Yi closed her eyes and bowed deeply to Sheng Wu.
"Miss, you have finally grown up. From now on, Su Yi will definitely be loyal to you!"
The term used here is "Miss" instead of "Madam", which naturally comes from the friendship between the two who grew up together.
She was not stupid. From Sheng Wu's actions over the past two days, she knew that Sheng Wu had been forced to become ruthless.
If you still think that others are innocent, then you and your loved ones will be the ones who die.
Seeing this, Sheng Wu leaned forward slightly, smiled and raised his hand to help Su Yi up.
"What are you talking about? Of course you know that you are loyal to me. As for your family, I will definitely find a way to rescue them."
These words were like a slap in the face followed by a sweet reward.
Sure enough, Su Yi looked happy and excited.
"Thank you, Miss!"
"It's just... why did the young lady ask Doctor Li to prepare poison?"
"Don't worry, I have my own uses, you don't have to worry about me."
