Chapter 355 Turkic Legend
Recalling the look on the emperor's face when he saw them yesterday, Lady Lin naively thought that it was the sisters' beauty that made the emperor fall in love with them. She never expected that it was this damn fragrance that was causing the trouble!
It was clear that the Emperor had already shown his suspicion and had been testing her everywhere, but Concubine Yan did not show any sign of restraint and even dared to use such dangerous means again!
This is not only foolish, it is pushing the two sisters into a dead end!
Isn't she harming others and herself?
Lady Lin grabbed her shoulders with both hands and tried to lower her voice, "Don't you know that the emperor already suspects us? Why did you use that kind of thing? Do you want to kill us?"
"I...I didn't!" Beautiful Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale and her voice was filled with tears.
Her idea was simple. She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, so she wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate her position in the emperor's heart and make the emperor love her more.
This is what her mother told her when she was in the Turkic era.
If you want to keep a man, you must first keep his body and make him unable to stop wanting you, only then can you truly gain his love.
What's more, their purpose of coming here was to use their beauty and means to seduce the emperor of Darong Kingdom, successfully give birth to a prince, and cooperate with the Turks to overthrow the regime of Darong Kingdom.
In this way, the Turks could take over the rich land of Darong Kingdom without bloodshed.
"Not yet? Don't you see that the Emperor has asked the Queen Mother to lock us up in this Buddhist temple?" Lady Lin's legs went limp and she collapsed on the cushion. At this moment, no matter how much you beat and scold Lady Yan, you cannot change the current situation.
She suppressed her anger and said, "You are absolutely not allowed to use that kind of thing again without my order! Do you understand?"
"I know." Beauty Yan covered her red cheeks. This time she really learned her lesson. "Sister, the Queen Mother won't keep us locked up for too long, right?"
Lady Lin shook her head. "I don't know. If the emperor was just suspicious before, then he must have confirmed that we had used some tricks yesterday in the Yangxin Palace. It's just that we couldn't find evidence for the time being, and we couldn't figure out what was causing the trouble. If he was really a competent emperor, he would definitely not let us out in the short term."
However, there is one thing that Concubine Lin is relatively relieved about, and that is that the emperor will never kill them easily.
After all, they were both beauties presented by the Turks, and they were princesses. If anything unexpected happened to them, the Turks would definitely use it as an excuse to start a war on the border!
at the same time.
Bai Wutong couldn't help feeling a little surprised when she learned that they were locked up by the Queen Mother.
I didn't expect that Zhang Chengyan could come up with the idea of using the Queen Mother. In this way, the Turks really had nothing to say.
As the emperor's biological mother, it is reasonable for the empress dowager to want two beauties to serve her. If the emperor does not agree, it would be unfilial.
It’s a good thing that they are locked up. At least Jin Weige can’t do anything to them.
Bai Wutong ordered his men to continue monitoring the movements in the Yaoguang Palace and not to miss any move by Jin Weige, while secretly passing messages to the Xun family.
Now Xun Yuanliang is highly valued by the emperor in the court, and the Xun family is also at its peak because of her. They can easily bribe more court officials and use them for their own purposes.
However, in the process of doing things, one must be extremely cautious, keep one's eyes open, and not leave any handles behind to avoid disaster.
"Your Highness." Chan'er hurried to the door and reported softly, "Eunuch Wang is here, saying that the emperor wants you to bring the prince and princess to the Yangxin Palace to keep him company for a few nights."
Zhang Chengyan broke his vow and must be having all sorts of random thoughts and thoughts now.
Bai Wutong felt disgusted, but had no choice but to agree.
…
End of December.
The wind was cold and the snow was falling heavily.
The entire capital city was covered in silver.
As the year is coming to an end, the Xun Mansion is filled with joy and decorations are hung everywhere.
Now, Cao is obedient to Xun Mingzhi's advice.
On the one hand, Xun Zhiyuan was out of town, and his every move was under Bai Wutong's surveillance.
On the other hand, as Bai Wutong said, life is getting better and better.
She now lives a luxurious life, with several servants serving her every day. When the noble ladies in the capital see her, they all try to please her and dare not neglect her in the slightest.
Life was better, Cao was in a good mood, and she looked radiant.
"Master, look at this object. Is it suitable to hang it in the front hall?"
Xun Mingzhi didn't even raise his head, "Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant walked up to him hurriedly and whispered something in his ear.
Xun Mingzhi stood up immediately and said, "Let's go to the study!"
Cao acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to direct everyone to hang objects in an orderly manner.
In the study, Xun Mingzhi carefully unfolded the secret letter and was shocked when he saw the contents. "Is this news true?"
The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know. The messenger said that this was from the investigation team sent by the emperor, and this is all they have found so far."
The emperor had previously secretly sent a team of people to investigate near the Turks.
One of them had already been bribed by Xun Mingzhi.
Therefore, the news reached Xun Mingzhi before it reached the capital.
"If this news is true, Wutong will have to make the decision himself." Xun Mingzhi did not dare to delay and immediately sat down at his desk and wrote a secret letter, "Quick, arrange for someone to deliver it to the palace tomorrow morning!"
The next morning.
At daybreak, fresh vegetables, fruits and melons were delivered to the palace, along with the secret letter.
Yunxiang presented it to Bai Wutong, "My Lady, it was sent by the Xun family."
"Yeah." Bai Wutong waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
At first glance, the content of the letter is obscure and confusing.
But Bai Wutong quickly pieced together the above content using the Xun family's unique method.
According to legend, the Turkic people once had a princess named Yanshi, who was extremely powerful.
Although she was plain-looking, the Turkic king was completely obsessed with her and stayed with her every night.
The other princesses tried their best but failed to attract any attention.
The Turkic king seemed to have set his heart on Yanshi and remained unmoved no matter how others tried to sow discord between them.
Later one day, the Turkic king died suddenly, and this Yanshi was imprisoned by several other princesses and tortured day and night.
Finally she revealed the secret - if you ask the gods on the snowy mountains for help, you will get a special flower.
If you dry this flower and grind it into powder, then add it to spices, it will make a man unable to stop lusting after the woman who uses it. In the end, he will even only want to have sex with that woman and will be indifferent to anyone else.
However, this is just a legend, and it has a history of hundreds of years.
Moreover, except for the legendary Turkic king, no other king has ever experienced a similar situation.
Therefore most people dismissed it as a tall tale and never considered that it could be true.
Bai Wutong closed the letter and put it into the brazier. "Yunxiang, bring me some paper and pen. This letter must be sent out of the palace today!"
