As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maids brought up the confession.
Lu Yanluo's eyes widened, "Are you ready for your confession? Are you waiting to use me to frame the Night King?"
I've heard that the Queen is not favored, and that the Prince she gave birth to is also neglected by the Emperor. I never thought that the Queen would be so obsessed with winning the throne!
The queen sneered and said slowly, "Let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut. Beat her until she signs her name!"
Lu Yanluo finally understood that the Queen was clearly trying to use her to take a bite out of the Night King.
After all, she has always been out of favor and has disappeared for so many years, and her presence is too low.
Just like now, she was kidnapped in the middle of the night and no one would come to look for her.
For the queen, it would be best if she could force a confession out of him.
She failed to extract a confession and was accidentally killed, but no one was willing to avenge her.
There are only benefits and no harm.
But Lu Yanluo cannot betray Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan is the only one she can rely on.
Even if it was a deal, she could only rely on Chu Xuan.
Seeing the long needle about to fall on her finger, Lu Yanluo closed her eyes tightly.
Counting on Chu Xuan to save her?
She might as well rely on herself!
"Ah--" The long needle pierced her finger. Lu Yanluo had never experienced such pain in her life and she screamed.
The queen appreciated her pain, leaned over and smiled, "How about this? If you don't want to suffer any more, just admit Chu Xuan's crime honestly, and I can spare your life."
Lu Yanluo forced a smile and stared straight into the Queen's eyes: "Queen, His Majesty doesn't visit you often recently, right? I heard that you are old and have been out of favor for many years. His Majesty has long disliked you."
After hearing this, the Queen's eyes suddenly widened. Just as she was about to explode, she was interrupted by Lu Yanluo: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Even if you get my confession today, you can't completely overthrow Chu Xuan. But if you spare me, I can bring you greater benefits, which are more tempting than overthrowing Chu Xuan. Do you want to hear it?"
The queen was stunned.
She knew that she was old and had lost the emperor's favor long ago. Although her family was powerful, the emperor still wanted to depose her. She was already in a difficult situation in the palace, caught between a rock and a hard place.
If this woman could really bring her benefits and ease her current situation...
The queen came over and asked, "What benefits can you bring to me?"
Lu Yanluo leaned close to the Queen's ear and whispered, "I can prepare a magical medicine. Drinking it will make your skin as tight as that of a young girl. I guarantee that your complexion will be fair and rosy, and you will be rejuvenated and regain the Queen's favor."
The Queen was visibly moved. "Really?"
Lu Yanluo struck while the iron was hot and said, "If what I said is true, Your Majesty will regain your favor, so why not? If it's false, you can beat me or kill me with just one word."
The queen pondered for a moment and said, "The deal is fine, but I need you to help me do something. Remember, don't let anyone know, especially Chu Xuan."
Lu Yanluo nodded. Being able to run was the most important thing. Not to mention doing things in secret, even if she was asked to go back and stab Chu Xuan to death, she would try her best.
After whispering for a while, the queen finally let her go back home.
Lu Yanluo is from the 21st century after all, and many cosmetics are made using medical methods, so naturally there is a way to make cosmetics that can fool ancient people.
The prepared medicine was quickly delivered to the queen.
As a result, a few days later, Yan Xiwan was quiet for many days. Thinking that Chu Xuan had not come to her yard to find her for a long time, she went to Yun Yayuan.
I didn’t expect that as soon as I entered, I would see a yard full of jewelry!
"Sister Princess, you actually went out to rob people?"
This woman can't possibly be that rich!
However, Lu Yanluo just looked up at her impatiently. On the other side, Chu Yuan was having so much fun that he didn't even notice Yan Xiwan coming.
Yan Xiwan was ignored like this.
"Lu Yanluo! What on earth did you do to get so much gold, silver and jewelry?"
All the gifts her cousin had given her over the years combined were not as much as what was in this yard.
What right does this bitch Lu Yanluo have!
"Yan Xiwan, I advise you to be careful with your words and actions."
Lu Yanluo walked over slowly and calmly, took out a palace badge, and showed it to Yan Xiwan: "Look carefully, this is the order of the Queen of the Central Palace. This is a reward from the Queen. If you dare to ridicule it again, it will be disrespectful to the Queen."
"you……!"
Yan Xiwan was not convinced, but she also knew what the Queen's Order was, and she didn't dare to offend the Queen at all!
He could only sneer in a sarcastic tone: "How did you catch the Queen's eye? Did you do something shameful?"
"Haha." Lu Yanluo sneered and said bluntly: "Excuse me for being blunt, Miss Yan, with your intelligence and physique, if you really get my 'opportunity', I'm afraid not only will you not be rewarded, but you will be left dead in the wilderness."
Seeing Lu Yanluo's sharp tongue, Yan Xiwan knew she couldn't win the argument and had to leave in disappointment.
Returning to Xiwan Pavilion, she called her personal maid: "Go and ask Miss Lu Yuluo to come out. Meet at the teahouse tomorrow. I want Lu Yuluo dead!"
