Chapter 403: Heart as Serpentine as a Scorpion
While Lin Yun was planning on assassinating the emperor, Zhao Lingyu was also on his way to the palace for an audience.
Suddenly she received an imperial edict from Zhao Hao, summoning her to the palace to keep her mother company, saying that her mother missed her.
Zhao Lingyu couldn't help but have a bad premonition in her heart. How could she not know what her mother was like?
This person had a beautiful face but a heart as vicious as a snake. She had no blood relationship with either her or Zhao Jing. Moreover, this woman was always fond of men and was sexually unsatisfied. When Zhao Lingyu was young, she even witnessed the shameful scenes between her and the eunuchs in the palace.
Not only that, after enjoying the eunuchs' verbal battles, she would torture people to death in the most cruel way.
All these behaviors make people very uncomfortable.
Concubine Shu didn't care about her children at all, but she acted like a loving mother in front of others, which made Zhao Lingyu very disgusted with her.
There was no affection between the mother and daughter, and this summons was very wrong.
Moreover, it was already late, and she might encounter palace ban when she entered the palace later. The only one who was confident that he could open the palace ban at night was the emperor.
Zhao Lingyu didn't have much impression of her father. She only felt that this man was mysterious and powerful. Although he seemed gentle, he always revealed a kind of coldness like a venomous snake. Every time she was stared at by Zhao Hao, she would feel instinctive fear.
There is no normal person in this palace.
Zhao Lingyu was not stupid. Based on a small amount of information, she concluded that the emperor wanted to see her and that he must have bad intentions.
The envoys from the court were still waiting, so Zhao Lingyu naturally had to set off as soon as possible. She knew that her every move would be watched, and she also knew that it was time for her to show off her acting skills.
She showed a look of joy and said, "My mother hasn't looked for me for a long time. I have to dress up nicely. Xiaoyu, you can do my makeup for me!"
The Xiaoyu that Zhao Lingyu was referring to was Lin Yu.
Lin Yu and Fang Yu went to the princess's mansion, disguised as maids, and used treasures to cover up their appearance, so that their temperament was not outstanding.
"Eunuch Liu, please wait a moment."
The eunuch who delivered the message tactfully withdrew, leaving only Zhao Lingyu, Fang Yu and Lin Yu in the room.
"Something is wrong. Lin Yun hasn't come back yet, and my mother summoned me at this time. We might have been exposed."
Zhao Lingyu prepared for the worst.
The worst-case scenario is that the plan fails. However, even if the prison break fails, she has made her presence felt enough in front of Fang Yu and Lin Yu. She can still reasonably defect, but the reputation she gains will not be as great as if the prison break is successful.
After listening to Zhao Lingyu's analysis, Lin Yu did not quite agree.
"Although Lin Yun hasn't come back, you don't have to worry. He has his own ways. But it's not normal for your mother to summon you so late."
"Not only that, the one who wants to see me should be my father, but he wants to see me in the name of my mother. I don't know what the mystery is. What should I do?"
Zhao Lingyu had actually already thought of a solution, which was to bring Lin Yu into the palace with her.
However, if she said it out loud, her purpose would seem too obvious, and Lin Yu and Fang Yu might not trust her. But if she showed confusion and ignorance, Lin Yu would instead find a way out.
really……
"I will go into the palace with you and act accordingly."
Lin Yu wanted to assassinate him.
In this crisis, relying on her and Lin Yun's fog, there is indeed a way to rescue the disciples of Shenxiao Sect. Even Lin Yun's plan of killing a few princes before leaving is not difficult for Lin Yu.
But since there are better options right now, why not do it?
Lin Yu made a very bold decision.
She wants to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor.
Zhao Hao and Zhao Lingyu meet, and Lin Yu can use his identity as a servant to meet the emperor.
Within ten steps, no one could stop her from killing someone.
Even if all the ministers in the court came out together, they couldn't do it.
"Elder Lin, thank you so much."
Zhao Lingyu looked very touched. She quickly packed herself up and let Eunuch Liu lead them into the palace.
In order to prevent Lin Yu from appearing out of place, Zhao Lingyu also brought Li Gongfeng along.
At this time, in Tianlao, Zhao Guang and Zhao Jing were waiting in vain.
Didn’t we agree to take action tonight?
What a rip off!
An undercurrent is surging in Concubine Shu's palace.
Lin Yun did not dare to attack rashly. He was waiting for time. Zhao Hao did not fight with him anymore. Instead, he said to Concubine Shu: "Someone suggested that Lingyu should marry into the Sword Sect. I rejected it in my heart. How can a lady from the royal family marry a country bumpkin? But I have seen the boy from the Baili family. He is handsome and talented. He is barely worthy of Lingyu.
But I'm worried that Lingyu still has some resentment in her heart. You know she's used to being wild and rebellious. I'm afraid she's not very willing to this marriage. You should try to persuade her later."
Concubine Shu had been full of anger for a long time and had no place to vent it. As a result, Zhao Hao talked about Zhao Lingyu and then talked about Lin Yun, and then talked about Zhao Lingyu again. She couldn't calm down her anger, but she didn't dare to be angry with Zhao Hao. Instead, she put all her resentment on Zhao Lingyu.
This is a woman's anger, there is no need to reason with her.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This is the will of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Lingyu has been willful for so many years, and she can't continue to be willful. I will make her obedient."
"Don't you understand her personality? If you just try to persuade her, she won't listen. If you push her too far, she might even run away from home."
Zhao Hao looked helpless and complained about Zhao Lingyu, but Concubine Shu heard something else in his words.
She asked tentatively, "Does your Majesty have any good ideas?"
"It's not that I have a good plan, but there is a bad plan. This is a pulse-blocking powder, which can temporarily seal her cultivation. Put it in her tea later. As long as she has no cultivation, she will not act recklessly. When the people from the Sword Sect come tomorrow, arrange for them to meet. If Ling Yu is still unwilling, let her do as she pleases."
Lin Yun watched everything silently, and when he saw Concubine Shu took the pill without hesitation, he suddenly began to feel sorry for the little princess.
What kind of parents do she have? Zhao Hao is definitely plotting against her, but he doesn't do it himself. Instead, he plans to let Concubine Shu do it. If Concubine Shu had a little bit of pity for Zhao Lingyu, Zhao Hao would not have succeeded.
However, when he saw the fierce look that flashed across her eyes, Lin Yun knew that she seemed dissatisfied with just blocking Zhao Lingyu's cultivation.
Maybe she wanted to do something even more extreme.
I have to say that Lin Yun is always so accurate when it comes to guessing people’s evil thoughts.
Concubine Shu did have other plans.
He decided to go all out and simply knocked Zhao Lingyu down and put her on the bed.
Aren’t you, Zhao Lingyu, loyal?
Once you have tasted that feeling, I’ll see what you can do with it!
Concubine Shu recalled that she was caught cheating by Zhao Lingyu before. The young Zhao Lingyu looked down on her and scolded her, which Concubine Shu always remembered.
Zhao Lingyu is the emperor's daughter, and as a noble concubine, it is not easy to deal with her, but now, the opportunity has come.
"Lingyu will be here soon, so I'd better step away for now, so as not to talk about these things and cause her to misunderstand."
Zhao Hao stood up and prepared to slip away. At this time, if Concubine Shu was really smart, she should have noticed something wrong.
When Zhao Hao first came, he said he wanted to favor her, but halfway through, when they started talking about their children, it was as if he suddenly remembered something and was about to leave.
Isn't this obviously a problem?
However, Concubine Shu didn't think so at all. She felt that all her good things were ruined because of Zhao Lingyu, and she felt more resentful towards her.
"Then I will see you off."
Concubine Shu did not try to keep Zhao Hao because she was planning to do something big.
When Zhao Hao left, he also took Lin Yun with him, which made Concubine Shu even more annoyed. She returned to her room, took out a box from the bottom of the drawer, took out a small porcelain bottle, and poured out a drop of transparent liquid that exuded a faint fragrance.
This substance is between a remedy and a poison and is difficult to classify.
This medicine is called Zuixianlin.
After taking it, women will emit an attractive fragrance, which can stimulate men's desire.
One side effect is that your body will become sensitive and it will be easier to indulge in that kind of desire.
This medicine is extremely precious and ordinary people cannot afford it, but it is the favorite of women in the palace.
For the women in the palace, this medicine is simply a magical thing. The side effects are negligible. Being more sensitive is also a good thing!
However, the side effects of the drug are actually very obvious. It is not so obvious to women, but to the emperor...
Zhao Hao has been obsessed with spiritual practice in recent years and has not favored his women, so there are many more green meadows in the palace.
Concubine Shu planned to let Zhao Lingyu have the same experience by first bewitching her and then sending her to the Sword Sect's people. This was also the Emperor's order.
However, if the people from the Sword Sect lost control and did something, it would be none of her business.
Of course, the situation might not necessarily get worse. After Zhao Lingyu experienced that...
Concubine Shu made the tea with a cold smile.
During the time when Zhao Lingyu was away, she thought of Lin Yun again.
What a good little eunuch! It's a pity that he hasn't had the chance to have fun yet. I don't know if Zhao Hao and Lin Yun have already started.
Thinking about the fencing scene, Concubine Shu suddenly became excited.
At this time, Lin Yun and Zhao Hao were indeed fencing.
Xiaoqing's cooldown period wasn't over yet, but she gave Lin Yun a hint that she could use a small-range space technique, which was originally taught to her by Xiaojin, but after her improvement, it has now become a new spell.
She named this technique the Nine Appearances of the Divine Dragon.
It can escape in a small space at an extremely fast speed, up to nine times.
As for why it is called this name, Xiaoqing doesn’t know either. She just thinks that maybe this spell was originally called this name.
With the ability of space escape, Lin Yun can almost come and go freely.
So, not long after leaving Concubine Shu's palace, Lin Yun took action directly.
A clever transformation occurred, and thunder appeared. According to Lin Yun's calculations, Zhao Hao would not be able to react at such a close distance.
However, Zhao Hao easily blocked his seven consecutive swords.
The sword was so sharp that it made several cuts on Zhao Hao's sword, but it didn't hurt anyone. What's the point of breaking the sword...
ps: There will be two more updates tonight. My girlfriend's computer didn't record my vocabulary, and I was a little sleepy, so there were more typos. I will come back to revise them as soon as I finish writing today's update.
