"That's right. Although Jiu Qian Sui is not a woman, her appearance is so beautiful that no one in the harem can compare to her. No wonder the king is tempted."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

At this moment, the team was stopping to rest, and Su Changzhao also used the excuse to come out and relieve himself.

She happened to hear everything those people said just now.

[Hahahaha… I feel relieved, you dog emperor, I’ll let you bully me, I’ll use this method to punish you in the future.]

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard.

Su Changzhao hid behind a tree and poked his head out, and saw a man dressed as a eunuch pointing at those gossipers and cursing them in public.

"You are the ones who can make irresponsible comments about His Majesty?"

Those people immediately knelt down, admitted their mistakes, and begged for mercy.

The eunuch frowned, sounding annoyed, and immediately yelled, "Get lost!"

After several people ran away, the eunuch suddenly turned towards Su Changzhao, and Su Changzhao could see the other's face clearly.

"Is it her?"

·

The large army finally arrived at the Longling Mountain Palace before nightfall.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will also be held at the Temple of Heaven located in the palace.

Just as everyone was busy preparing for tomorrow's ceremony.

An inconspicuous figure quietly slipped into Yu Jiuchen's bedroom.

Who knew she had just brought in the wine.

"Take it."

At Su Changzhao's command, the dim bedroom immediately became bright.

The imperial guards rushed over, arrested the man, and brought him before the emperor.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I am Lady Lan!"

In order to avoid being killed by mistake, Du Laner, who was wearing eunuch's clothes and holding a wine jug, immediately took off his hat.

His long black hair was scattered all over his face, and everyone was dumbfounded when they saw his face.

It’s really Lady Lan.

Since she was the most restless concubine in the palace, everyone had an impression of her.

Yu Jiuchen sat on the throne, his handsome face sullen, "Nonsense! Who gave you the courage to sneak out of the imperial city!"

It was obvious that Du Laner had taken the initiative to sneak into the sacrificial ceremony team and followed along.

But the emperors of all dynasties had to bathe and fast during the sacrifices to heaven, not to mention drinking, and even women were not allowed. So there was not even a palace maid in the entourage.

Du Laner not only came openly, but also brought wine. Her purpose of sneaking into the king's bedroom in the middle of the night was too obvious.

If this matter gets out, Yu Jiuchen will be accused of being blinded by lust.

Not sure if it was because he was angry or if acting had become a habit, Yu Jiuchen covered his mouth and started coughing.

Every time he coughed, his handsome face turned paler, and combined with his thin and frail body, he did look a bit sickly.

Du Laner was yelled at by Yu Jiuchen, and immediately said with tears in her eyes: "Since His Majesty made Laner a noble lady, he has never stepped into the Xianglan Palace once. Laner wanted to see His Majesty, but was always stopped outside the palace by those servants who looked down on others. Laner... Laner had no choice.

Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of Lan'er's sincerity, don't chase her away. Lan'er can't do anything, Your Majesty, just treat her as a palace maid and keep her to serve you."

Du Laner blinked her eyes lovingly, looking aggrieved.

However, Su Changzhao saw Yu Jiuchen pinching his index finger, which was the behavior he would show when he wanted to kill someone.

Su Changzhao was shocked, but soon felt relieved.

Yu Jiuchen has never been a man who lingers in the arms of a gentle and tender life. Although this story "The Imperial Power" may seem like a brainless harem story, in fact, no woman has ever truly entered the heart of the hero, Yu Jiuchen.

This is what Su Changzhao felt when he first read this novel.

In the original novel, Yu Jiuchen is a king who is shrewd, good at planning, and has lofty ambitions.

He would sometimes give up his love for the female protagonists in his harem who he still had feelings for, let alone the woman in front of him who he had no feelings for.

When Su Changzhao saw that Yu Jiuchen wanted to kill Du Lan'er, he quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, Lady Lan is still young and although she acted rashly, her original intention was pure. Considering that this is her first offense, I hope Your Majesty will give her a lenient sentence."

Yu Jiuchen stopped pinching his index finger and looked at Su Changzhao who was pleading for Du Lan'er in surprise.

Trying to find clues from her beautiful face that even women would feel ashamed of.

In fact, not only Yu Jiuchen, but everyone present was quite surprised.

The Nine Thousand Year Old Su Changzhao, who was rumored to have killed countless people, would actually plead for Concubine Lan, who was not even related to him.

The sun rises from the west?

Yu Jiuchen looked at Su Changzhao, then at Du Laner who had a shocked look on her face.

Until I heard Su Changzhao's inner voice: [During the Heavenly Sacrifice, abstain from meat, alcohol, women, and blood. If we let the dog emperor go on a killing spree, there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will not make trouble.]

“……”It was actually for me?

Yu Jiuchen was moved and pursed his lips: "I'll leave this to you, Chang Zhao."

He spoke in a tone of entrusting someone with an important task, then stood up and left with the help of the eunuch.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Du Lan'er wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the royal guards beside her.

Then a figure in a black python robe blocked the view.

Looking up, a beautiful face with a smile came into view.

"Lady Lan, let's talk."

Du Laner: “…”

After a moment.

"I just want to see His Majesty and stay with His Majesty. What have I done wrong?"

After Yu Jiuchen left, Du Lan'er relied on her status as a noble and started shouting in the palace.

at this time.

Su Changzhao brought a cup of tea, crossed his legs and sat on the chair, and said slowly: "Lady Lan, have you ever thought that if there is a serious flood this year, His Majesty will be accused of not forgetting to take his concubine to have fun every night during the sacrifice to the heaven, and he is disrespectful to the heaven, so the heaven sent down the flood, and the people suffered. How do you let His Majesty deal with it then?"

"This... they are talking nonsense!"

Pop.

Su Changzhao put down the teacup. The sound was not loud, but it made Du Lan'er and the other guards present shudder on the spot.

"Whether it is nonsense or not is not up to you to decide. Let me ask you one thing, if something really happens that damages the reputation of His Majesty, can Lady Lan shoulder the responsibility?" Su Changzhao spoke neither fast nor slow, but every word touched the heart.

"I...I..." Du Laner didn't know what to say.

She secretly followed him out just to create an opportunity to be alone with Yu Jiuchen, as long as Yu Jiuchen wanted her.

She will have a chance to move up!

She really didn't think that much about anything else.

"Okay, I believe that Lady Lan has understood the pros and cons. I will send someone to escort you back to the palace."

Du Lan'er wanted to say something, but Su Changzhao didn't give her the chance.

"During this period of time, for the sake of Lady Lan's future prosperity and wealth, I think Lady Lan should stay in the palace and copy scriptures, pray for the people, and share the worries of His Majesty."

“…”

Without giving Du Lan'er any time to say anything, Su Changzhao winked at his men beside him, who immediately stepped forward and took Du Lan'er away.

After Du Lan'er's problem was resolved, Su Changzhao also left.

After going out, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

[Oh, dog emperor, I have worked so hard for you, I have broken my heart, please don't hurt me in the future, remember my kindness.]

But what she didn't know was that her decisive actions in the room just now, including her inner mutterings at the door, were all seen and heard by Yu Jiuchen.

…

the next day.

Everyone was in the palace, preparing for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven.

In order to avoid any more mistakes, Su Changzhao personally took care of every little thing, no matter how small it was.

But even so, although the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky was completed smoothly, Yu Jiuchen was still poisoned on the night of returning to Longdu.
