The emperor pretended not to hear Su Qiqi's reminder. He looked at Shui Ling and said lovingly, "As you wish, let's go hunting during this Mid-Autumn Festival. Roasting venison while enjoying the autumn scenery will surely be a unique experience."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shui Ling was ecstatic and couldn't help but smile.
[It's over, the tyrant is going to be killed! ]
[The King of Hell wanted him to die at three o'clock, but he started to give up at two o'clock!]
[I'm so worried! I'm really worried about living a few more days!]
I'm so tired! I feel like an 88-year-old woman carrying 88 buckets of water, braving the 88-degree sun to irrigate 88 acres of land at the village entrance, only to discover that the land belongs to someone else.
Su Qiqi lay on her back in the cradle, her face expressionless and her heart dead.
The emperor glanced at her and shook his head helplessly: He is the king of a country after all, how can he die so easily? As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king, and to catch a thief, you must seize the stolen goods. He had been looking forward to Prince Gong's action!

At night, a dark shadow climbed over the wall of Ruiyun Palace and looked around.
After making sure that there was no one around, she found the right moment to jump into the yard, tiptoeing quietly into Shui Ling's bedroom.
At this time, Shui Ling was sitting in front of her dressing table trying on various hairpins.
Looking at herself in the mirror, who looked gorgeous and delicate, she covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled with satisfaction.
"Empress Lingpin is so leisurely."
Bihe looked at Shuiling coldly, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
Shui Ling was frightened.
She stood up suddenly and looked around vigilantly. After making sure that there was no one else around, she quickly walked forward and closed the door.
Then he glared at Bihe and said angrily, "You are so brave! How dare you trespass here? If we are exposed, we will both be in trouble!"
Bi He sat down and sneered, "Empress Ling is deeply favored by the Emperor. I see you're so preoccupied with eating, drinking, and enjoying yourself that you've probably forgotten your master's plans."
"Come on, stop using your master to pressure me!" Shui Ling was not afraid at all and raised her chin proudly.
"I got all this information from the Emperor. You're just running errands and delivering a message. Don't show off in front of me! Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to lecture me?"
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? If your momentary behavior ruins the master's plan, you won't be able to pay for it even with your ten lives!"
Shui Ling became tough and scolded Bihe in just a few words so that she didn't dare to talk back.
Bi He suppressed the anger and hatred in her heart and forced a seemingly gentle smile: "Empress Ling, please calm down. I am only here on the orders of the master to remind you and ask how the arrangements are going."
Seeing this, Shui Ling finally calmed down a bit: "Don't worry, there's nothing I can't do. The Emperor has already agreed to let me go hunting outside the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Are you serious?" Bihe's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
Shui Ling said proudly, "Of course. The Emperor only loves me, so he won't lie to me. Tell the Master not to forget his promise after the matter is accomplished."
"Yes, please, Madam Lingpin, send me a message on time every day. Otherwise, the master will be worried."
Bihe stood up, took out the small porcelain bottle from her waist and threw it into Shuiling's arms.
Shui Ling reached out to take it, opened it and saw that it was the antidote she had to take every day.
"I'll take my leave."
Bihe opened the door and disappeared into the darkness in three jumps and two leaps.
Shui Ling looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand and fell into deep thought.
Just be patient. Once the master has accomplished his task, he will set her free.
The master just wants to be favored by the emperor, it won't affect her.
After the matter is accomplished, she will definitely live a good life with the emperor.

The news that the emperor wanted his concubines to leave the palace for the autumn hunt quickly spread.
From the Empress Dowager to the officials, no one agreed.
But the emperor single-handedly overcame all objections and insisted that preparations be made.
Early in the morning of August 14, the emperor and Shen Mingyue sent Su Qiqi, Lu Hongxuan and Mo Yunchi to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace.
"Are you all ready?" The queen mother looked haggard and could not stop worrying.
The emperor smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I hope to hunt some foxes this time and make you a fox fur coat to keep you warm."
The Queen Mother opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Finally, he said in a deep voice: "I don't want fox fur, I just hope you can be well."
Shen Mingyue comforted him, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will always be by your side."
"Sister-in-law, remember to hunt a wild deer for us. We can't count on my brother's riding and archery skills, but you can definitely do it!" Lu Qingyuan smiled playfully and cunningly.
"You!" The Queen Mother tapped Lu Qingyuan's head lovingly.
The family was having a great time, but Su Qiqi in Lu Qingyuan's arms started sobbing, tears streaming down her face.
[It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with kind words. But...]
[Wuwuwu, my dear concubine, wuwuwu, tyrant! Can you two just not go? I really don't want you to die young!]
[Autumn hunting is definitely dangerous! ]
[A child without a mother is like a weed! I don’t want to become an orphan!]
Su Qiqi cried loudly and stretched out her hands towards Shen Mingyue, hoping to attract Shen Mingyue's attention.
"Okay, I know you can't bear to leave the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. But they will be back in two days. Be good and don't cry."
The Queen Mother held Su Qiqi in her arms, rocked her slightly, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Su Qiqi cried even louder.
She shook her head and cried out at the top of her voice:
"No... No, don't go!"
