Chapter 171: New torture device? What does it look like?
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. The Emperor is very busy with his affairs. Originally, there were few visitors to the harem, and there were few children. Your Majesty should think of a way to conceive a dragon child as soon as possible."
Concubine Shu's brows furrowed even deeper. "The Emperor never came to my palace. How could I be pregnant with a dragon descendant?"
"Your Majesty, if the Emperor won't come to your palace, you can find a way to invite him. The Emperor is still young and full of vigor, and I don't believe that with your beauty, you can't regain his favor."
"So what if she has favor? I've had plenty of favor before, but I still don't have any children." Noble Consort Shu couldn't help but sigh when she said this. "The Queen is lucky. The Emperor didn't like to go to her palace, but she had one."
"Your Highness, as long as the Emperor comes to your palace, the piece of flesh in your belly will have a reason to be born. As for whose flesh it is, does it matter? As long as you have a child, then the future position of crown prince will not be far away."
Concubine Shu's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"
The maid looked around and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister means that as long as you can get pregnant, you don't need to worry about whether the child is the emperor's."
After she finished speaking, she stuffed a small medicine bag into Concubine Shu's hand and said, "Your Majesty, this incense, if you mix it into the spices you use every day, will make a man unable to control his passion."
Concubine Shu was stunned. She stared at the packet of aphrodisiac incense with some hesitation.
"My Lady, the situation is already like this. Even if it gets worse, can it get any worse than it is now?"
After the maid finished speaking, she stuffed the bag of spices directly into Concubine Shu's hands.
In the evening.
Lu Mingfeng knew that the princess would stay in the palace today, so he stayed in the Dali Temple until it was almost dark before returning to the princess's residence.
Seeing a few more guards at the door, he was slightly startled, "The princess is back?"
"In reply to Lord Lu, the princess has returned, but she stayed for a while before returning to the palace."
The joy on Lu Mingfeng's face flashed away, and he quickly returned to his usual calm look.
"What about you?"
"In reply to Lord Lu, it was the princess who brought Manager Xu to the princess's residence, and that's why we sent more people."
Manager Xu?
Lu Mingfeng's eyes darkened when he heard this. "Xu Mubai is in the princess's mansion?"
"I live in Zhuyingxuan."
Lu Mingfeng took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Zhuyingxuan, hesitated for a few seconds, and then moved forward.
When he arrived at Zhuyingxuan, Xu Mubai was wearing a white inner garment and leaning on the edge of the bed. He raised his eyes when he heard the voice and glanced towards the door.
"My humble servant greets Lord Lu." Xu Mubai's cold and handsome face was pale with a hint of sickly color.
Lu Mingfeng narrowed his eyes, "Manager Xu looks so bad, is he sick?"
Xu Mubai pursed his lips and smiled, "The princess saw that I was not feeling well and was really worried, so she asked me to come to the palace to recuperate."
"Heh." Lu Mingfeng sneered, "Manager Xu has a good plan."
Xu Mubai's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at him intently, "Same here."
Right at this moment.
The maid from the princess's mansion walked in quickly. After she saluted the two of them, she slowly said, "Master Lu, the emperor has sent an order to summon you to the palace."
"Enter the palace?" Lu Mingfeng frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"In reply to Lord Lu," the maid said, glancing secretly in Xu Mubai's direction, "It is...it is the Emperor who asked you to enter the palace and serve the eldest princess."
Lu Mingfeng's eyes were stunned, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
He glanced calmly in Xu Mubai's direction and said, "Okay, I'll change my clothes and go."
The maidservant quickly retreated, feeling relieved.
Lu Mingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since Manager Xu is ill, he should rest well in the Princess's residence. I will go to the palace first."
Xu Mubai: ...
He pursed his lips deeply and smiled in relief, "I apologize for being rude and unable to see Lord Lu off. Lord Lu, take care."
After changing his clothes, Lu Mingfeng took the princess's carriage and arrived at Linglong Pavilion without any obstructions.
He knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Princess, long live the princess."
Su Yunyao was startled, as if surprised, "Why are you here at this hour?"
Lu Mingfeng: ???
Could it be that the princess didn't know that the emperor had ordered him to enter the palace?
He frowned and said, "Princess, it was the Emperor who ordered me to enter the palace to accompany you."
Su Yunyao: ...
That seems to be the case.
However, when she went to Xuanzheng Hall just now, she thought it was just a casual remark made by the emperor and did not really take it to heart.
but……
When meat is served right in front of you, you will definitely eat it.
"Why are you kneeling?" Su Yunyao patted the soft couch beside her, "Come here."
The curve of Lu Mingfeng's lips deepened a little, "I haven't seen the princess for a long time."
Su Yunyao thought about it seriously, "A few days? Has it been that long?"
"Princess, this may be what it means that a day without seeing you feels like three years." Lu Mingfeng sighed.
Su Yunyao sneered, "You mean to say that every day you can't see me feels like a year? That you can't sleep at night and miss me so much?"
Lu Mingfeng: ...
Don’t want it? What is it?
"The princess is right."
"Then tell me, what have you been doing during these days when I haven't seen you?"
"I didn't do anything. I just went to the Dali Temple to handle cases, examine prisoners, and research new torture instruments."
"A new torture device? What does it look like?"
Lu Mingfeng didn't want to say it at first, but when he looked into the princess's eyes, he saw no panic at all, only anticipation.
He was silent for a moment, "Princess, do you really want to hear this?"
"Listen, listen, and speak quickly."
Su Yunyao was not very interested at first, but after hearing what he said, she became even more curious.
Lu Mingfeng: ...
"Princess, I'm afraid that if I tell you, it will pollute your ears. I'd better..."
"No." Su Yunyao smiled gently, her eyes full of curiosity. "This princess forgives you, so feel free to speak boldly."
The moment the words fell, Su Yunyao pecked him lightly on the cheek.
Lu Mingfeng was stunned, and his cheeks quickly turned red.
He felt his mind was a little blank, and even lost the instinct to think.
It seemed like the princess hadn't kissed him like this for a long time!
"Princess, the newly researched torture device is just a concept and has never been used on a prisoner."
After a pause, he continued.
"First, the prisoner is given a drug that can make him euphoric. Then a bull horn is inserted into his temples, rotating and pushing deeper until his eyeballs are squeezed out of their sockets.
During the entire process, because the prisoners took drugs, they were able to remain awake and clearly feel the process of their eyeballs falling.
I was thinking that, in this way, even if both eyeballs were pushed out by the horns, the prisoner would not die so quickly..."
