Chapter 40: His Majesty Invites
Liu Zhaoyi was filled with panic.
His Majesty had already drunk the glass of wine that she had drugged, so she had no time to focus on the banquet, let alone help Liu Jingyi deal with Shen Yuling.
The drug she put in the wine was quite sinister.
If a woman drinks it, she will feel dizzy and then do all kinds of ugly things that are unsightly.
But for men, this medicine has become an aphrodisiac.
but.....
The dosage she gave was based on the female dose, so perhaps Your Majesty wouldn't feel anything. Even if he did, Your Majesty had drunk so much alcohol tonight that he was not conscious, so perhaps he wouldn't be able to notice it?
Liu Zhaoyi comforted herself in her heart.
She originally wanted Shen Yuling to behave wildly at the banquet.
In this way, she would have a reason and a legitimate reason to take Shen Yuling away from the banquet.
She had already prepared an adulterer for Shen Yuling.
When the affair is discovered, everyone will think of Shen Yuling's promiscuous behavior at the banquet, and no one will think she is innocent.
Naturally, the charge that the Princess of the County was shameless and had an affair with a man outside her home would be proven.
As for matters between women, His Majesty has always left them to her.
It's not something she can handle however she wants. Even if His Majesty doesn't want to make a big deal out of it because of Shen Yuling's identity, everyone who should know knows about it, and the plan has succeeded.
What's more, what happened was such a scandal that tarnished the reputation of the royal family. How could Shen Yuling still have a good life?
How could the prince continue to like a woman who had already lost her virginity?
Her series of plans were originally conceived to be flawless and perfect.
But I didn't expect that Shen Yuling would actually give the glass of wine to His Majesty!
Did Shen Yuling notice something, or was it just a coincidence?
Liu Zhaoyi was upset and looked extremely ugly.
Not long after, he left the banquet on the grounds of feeling unwell.
Shen Yuling saw her leaving and sneered.
Most likely he was in a hurry to deal with the tail end of this matter.
Kwon Myung-hyuk was drugged at his own birthday party, and who knows how furious he will be.
I don’t know which unlucky guy will become Liu Zhaoyi’s scapegoat.
Kwon Myeong-hyuk, who had no idea what was going on, was still drinking with many ministers and royal children at the banquet.
The atmosphere was quite lively and harmonious.
However……
Not long after, Kwon Myung-hyuk noticed something was wrong with his body.
His eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Li Ming, I am tired. I am going back to Weiyang Palace."
Those ministers who were about to continue toasting His Majesty saw that His Majesty's face suddenly turned ugly. They thought that they had offended His Majesty at some point, and for a moment, they felt anxious.
I was a little overwhelmed and stood there in a daze.
When Concubine Wang saw His Majesty stand up and leave, a hint of speculation flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Your Majesty drank the glass of wine from Concubine Liu. Was there anything unclean in the wine?
Your Majesty just drank too much with the ministers, so go back and rest.
Or is it because...
Concubine Wang was full of doubts.
After a little thought, he left the Tai Chi Hall calmly.
She was accompanied only by a personal maid as she walked towards the corridor outside the Weiyang Palace.
Your Majesty's Weiyang Palace has always been strictly guarded. Without Your Majesty's summons, the concubines are absolutely not allowed to appear near the Weiyang Palace.
The place where Concubine Wang was standing at the moment was exactly the only way for the Imperial Medical Bureau to go to the Weiyang Palace.
She wanted to find out whether His Majesty was unwell or just went back to rest.
Not long after, the imperial physician Hu, who was treating His Majesty, hurried towards the Weiyang Palace.
When Lady Wang, who was hiding in the dark and observing, saw this scene, an expression of "as expected" immediately appeared on her face.
If Liu Zhaoyi really gave you that kind of vile drug, then Your Majesty, tonight...
As she thought about it, Lady Wang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
On his birthday in the past, Your Majesty has never stayed overnight at the Emperor's or Concubine's place, and no Emperor's or Concubine has ever been able to enter Your Majesty's Weiyang Palace.
Tonight, is it possible that she...
The more Lady Wang thought about it, the more hopeful she felt.
She quickly turned to the maid beside her and ordered: "Return to the palace. I need to take a bath and change clothes."
Concubine Wang hurried back to her own palace and quickly bathed and changed her clothes.
Then I looked forward to your Majesty's visit.
But she waited for a long time, but the emperor never came, and she never received the summons to go to the Weiyang Palace.
Shen Yuling, who was at the banquet, remained calm when she saw Quan Minghe get up and leave.
Enjoy the exquisite palace cuisine at a leisurely pace.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Lan Ying, dressed as an ordinary palace maid, came to Shen Yuling's side.
She held the wine jug in her hand and leaned over slightly to whisper in Shen Yuling's ear while pouring wine for her.
He whispered softly, "Your Majesty invites you."
Shen Yuling was about to put a piece of food into her mouth with chopsticks, but her hand paused.
Does Quan Minghe want her to be the antidote?
Are the women in his harem just for decoration?
What if Feng Moheng comes to find her then?
Are they really going to be intimate in front of Feng Moheng?
She said that at the time just to let Quan Minghe know that she didn't like Feng Moheng, but she didn't really want to expose her relationship with Quan Minghe in front of Feng Moheng.
Even if we have to expose our relationship, it's definitely not now.
Could it be that Kwon Myung Hyuk likes this kind of excitement?
But since Quan Minghe has summoned her, she can't not go.
Lan Ying was probably called by Li Ming to deliver the message. If it was some other unknown palace maid who said this to her.
She certainly won't go.
You must always be on guard against others.
Every step Shen Yuling takes in revenge must be steady and well thought out.
After Lan Ying left, she pretended as if nothing had happened.
He put the dish into his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, then took a sip of the wine.
Then he slowly turned his head.
She said to Feng Moheng, who was chatting enthusiastically with the adults at the next table, "Husband, I just drank a few more sips of wine. I feel a little stuffy now. I want to go out for some fresh air."
Feng Moheng didn't think much about it.
He casually responded, "Okay, don't go too far, don't get lost."
Shen Yuling nodded, then stood up and left the banquet.
The female secret guard who had been waiting for Shen Yuling in the dark took her directly to the back hall of Weiyang Palace.
The vermilion palace door is inlaid with gilded copper nails, showing its majesty.
Under the anxious guidance of Li Ming, Shen Yuling stepped into the palace.
The ground under your feet is paved with white marble, emitting a faint cold light.
The palace lanterns in the hall have silk lampshades embroidered with exquisite auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.
The light shines through the lampshade, creating a hazy shadow.
Shen Yuling continued to walk inside and came straight to the bedroom.
The huge dragon bed is made of precious red sandalwood, and the golden dragons carved on the bedposts are lifelike.
Kwon Myung Hyuk was half leaning on a soft pillow.
The canopy above the head is made of gold, silver, pearls, gems and other materials interwoven together.
Under the illumination of palace lanterns, it sparkles with brilliant light, is extremely luxurious, and fully demonstrates the royal noble style.
Quan Minghe closed his eyes, looked irritable, breathed heavily, and his face was flushed.
