Chapter 136 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 6 Abandoning Darkness and Joining the Light
In the end, Yan Mi only knew an address.
This was far from enough for her, as Zhao Mingzhang had more than one spy base in Chengguo.
She turned her gaze to the woman again, "What's your name?"
The woman stammered, "Serve it."
Yan Mi was a little surprised, "You actually have a name."
Yan Mi's reaction made the woman a little angry, who didn't even have a name.
"How about you follow me and work with me in the future?" Yan Mi said.
"No." She shook her head firmly.
"Why?" Yan Mi looked at her, frowning, "Am I not powerful?"
"I am a Zhao citizen and will never betray Zhao. If you have the guts, kill me."
Seeing the woman's resolute attitude, Yan Mi sighed, "I'm also cooperating with you. We're on the same front. You should trust me."
The woman glanced at Yan Mi with disbelief, as if to ask, "Are you kidding me?"
"Zhao State has not been very good to you either. It's better for you to follow me. As long as you follow me, I promise to make you live comfortably. Besides, you know my status. What I say is what I mean. Sometimes it is also very important to choose a good master." Yan Mi continued to persuade him kindly.
Sheng Lai turned his head away, looking as if he couldn't hear anything.
Yan Mi waved her hand and threw Sheng Lai into a small room. She waved at her as she closed the door. "Think about it for a while. If you think clearly and are willing to follow me, I'll let you out. If not, then you can starve to death in there."
Sheng Lai watched the door close. There was no light left in the small room where she was, and her hands and feet were still tied.
Yan Mi clapped her hands and shook off the dust. She just felt that this trip was tiring and dirty.
"Someone, help me bathe." Yan Mi said in a deliberately low voice.
After taking a bath, Yan Mi felt refreshed and in a much better mood.
She slept alone tonight, with no one by her side. She tossed and turned, always feeling like something was missing.
It was almost dawn when Yan Mi began to feel sleepy.
When she woke up, she heard the palace maids say that Han Chengdao had come to see her, but since she was not awake, he did not let them disturb her. He only stayed with her for a while and then left, and at the same time instructed them to take good care of Yan Mi.
Yan Mi was delighted and smiled reservedly, "I shouldn't make the emperor worry."
"The Emperor said that he would come to have a meal with the Empress after court. If the Empress treats him well, the Emperor will definitely be happy." The palace maids said jokingly.
Yan Mi smiled and glared at them, not forgetting that she was still a sick person. She coughed lightly a few times and scolded, "You are the ones with so many tricks. I will take care of it myself."
The palace maids laughed and the atmosphere became harmonious.
After Yan Mi was helped to dress and wash up, he asked, "Did you guys miss the running laps today?"
"No, everything is proceeding according to the arrangements of the Empress. The palace maids and eunuchs who were running laps today have been assigned to take up duties later."
Yan Mi nodded in satisfaction, "Where are the others? Has Concubine Li arrived?"
"Here she comes. Concubine Jing also ran a few laps along."
"Why didn't you tell me that she was here? This is really neglecting her." Yan Mi said.
"Empress Jing and you have a good relationship, and she doesn't want to disturb you. We wanted to wake her up, but she said you were sick and couldn't be disturbed."
Yan Mi smiled, "Okay, you guys have a conscience."
Before Han Chengdao left the morning court, someone had already come to inform Yan Mi, and the imperial kitchen had also prepared the meal, waiting for Han Chengdao to leave the court so that he could enjoy breakfast.
Yan Mi was also waiting outside the door early. When she saw Han Chengdao coming, she immediately went to greet him.
The sedan stopped, Han Chengdao got out, took Yan Mi's hand, and said with a reproachful look, "Why did you come out? It's so windy outside. What if you get seriously ill?"
Yan Mi glanced at him and said, "I wouldn't catch a cold just because of the cold wind. Your Majesty would. Wearing so little, if you get sick, what will happen to the country?"
Han Chengdao laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll wear more clothes later. Now hurry in."
After lunch, Han Chengdao was about to leave again. Yan Mi was a little reluctant. She pulled Han Chengdao's sleeve and asked, "Will the Emperor come to my place tonight?"
"You have been seriously ill recently. Aren't you afraid that I will disturb you?" he said half-jokingly.
Yan Mi lowered his eyes, his face full of unhappiness. "Last night, the Emperor wasn't by my side. I felt so empty inside. I couldn't sleep for a long time. Only when the Emperor was by my side could I sleep well."
Han Chengdao felt distressed when he heard this, "I will definitely come tonight. I can't sleep without you by my side."
Yan Mi looked up in surprise, "Really?"
"Really? I can't sleep without you." Han Chengdao hugged Yan Mi, "Wait for me for dinner, we'll eat together."
Yan Mi nodded and reluctantly sent Han Chengdao away.
But once she entered the house, his reluctance to leave immediately changed.
She picked up the snacks on her table, then pushed open the hidden door and walked into the small dark room.
The moment the door was opened, the room finally had some light, but it was still dark inside, and Yan Mi was holding an oil lamp in his hand.
Yan Mi looked at Sheng Lai who was lying on the ground. "Have you thought it through? Come to me. I will treat you well."
Sheng Lai remained silent. These tortures were nothing to her. It was impossible to make her betray the State of Zhao.
Yan Mi really admired her stubbornness, but it was not impossible for such a person to be persuaded.
As long as her strategy is in place, nothing is impossible.
"You handed over the letter I gave you a few days ago. It should be in Zhao Mingzhang's hands now. You completed this mission very well. If you had been locked up here by me all the time, it would have ruined your bright future." Yan Mi said.
Sheng Lai still didn't move.
"If you work for me, I will make you a general in the future. How about that? Don't you want to go to the battlefield and make achievements? Don't tell me that you just want to be a spy and then wait for an honorable retirement to get married and have children." Yan Mi asked curiously.
Sheng Lai snorted, "What's it to you? If you have the guts, kill me."
Yan Mi shook his head. "I won't kill anyone. But you can listen to me."
"I won't listen." Sheng Lai completely curled up into a ball.
Yan Mi picked out a part of the plot from the known ones and told her.
At present, in addition to Cheng and Zhao, there are also some small countries around them, but those small countries do not pose any threat to them.
Zhao Mingzhang of Zhao State was a violent person by nature and destroyed many small countries, but his cruelty also left behind considerable hidden dangers.
Many small countries trembled and came to Cheng State for refuge. Han Chengdao was the wise ruler who was relied upon by many small countries.
The governance methods of Cheng State and Zhao State were completely different. Zhao State imposed heavy taxes and levies, and many people in the country could hardly survive. The pent-up rebellious emotions in their hearts would one day erupt.
"You are lying to me. Zhao is one of the most powerful countries. Everyone in the capital of Zhao lives and works in peace and contentment. How could it be as you said?" Sheng Lai refused to listen.
She saw it with her own eyes and could not be fooled by Yan Mi.
"How do you know what life is like for people in other areas? If you are willing to submit to me, I will let you go to the battlefield and let you see the living conditions of your Zhao soldiers on the front line." Yan Mi coaxed her patiently. What she said seemed to have a strong attraction, which made Sheng Lai's heart waver.
Sheng Lai still didn't believe it.
"You are just a concubine, how could you possibly do this?"
Yan Mi laughed, she was very confident, "My father is a general who protects the country, and my brother's reputation has long been famous. Emperor Chengren loves me alone, and he will never refuse me if I ask him for something."
"Hmph, you're just relying on your good family background. Emperor Chengren must be blind to fall in love with you." Sheng Lai cursed.
Yan Mi was not angry at all. "You must be blind to like me, but you are in my hands now. You know how strong I am. If you work for me, I will never treat you unfairly."
Sheng Lai's eyes flickered, and he was a little shaken. "Then what should I do for you?"
"Of course, it's to find out the spy bases you have planted in Chengguo for me. I will destroy them all one by one." Yan Mi clenched his fists, looking like he was working hard for it.
"But aren't you cooperating with the State of Zhao?" Sheng Lai asked.
Yan Mi burst into laughter, as if this was the funniest joke he had ever heard. "Do you think I'm a particularly stupid woman who actually colluded with the enemy country?"
Sheng Lai nodded.
"Because this is my plan. I don't think highly of either Zhao or Cheng. I want to be the emperor myself." Yan Mi said very calmly.
Sheng Lai, however, felt as if his whole body was stabbed. "Are you crazy?"
Yan Mi fiddled with his sleeves. "I'm not crazy, but I've changed my mind now. Being an emperor is so tiring, and I also like Han Chengdao. I just want to help him keep the throne, and then the State of Zhao must be eliminated."
But what Yan Mi said was not practical at all, and she couldn't help but wonder if Yan Mi had a problem with his brain.
"Don't look at me like that. I know exactly what I'm doing, so you just need to help me scout out the stronghold. Leave the rest to me. If you are exposed, I will also protect your safety." Yan Mi said.
Sheng Lai still didn't quite believe Yan Mi. What Yan Mi said didn't sound reliable.
"Take your time to think about it. These are all for you." Yan Mi put down the dessert and left.
Sheng Lai had been hungry for a long time. After smelling the fragrance of the dessert, she didn't want to eat it at first, but the aroma kept drilling into her nose, and she couldn't help but took one to taste.
Even after she finished the dessert, she still wasn't full.
After coming out of the small dark room, Yan Mi looked at the light outside and felt in a good mood.
She secretly hid away to exercise again.
After a few days, her health was getting better and better, and she gradually gained weight. Han Chengdao was very surprised when he found out at night.
"After recovering from my illness these days, I finally have some weight back on. It feels different to the touch," he said.
Yan Mi seemed to have sensitive areas all over her body. She felt like her body was burning just by being gently touched.
"You don't like the way I looked before?" she asked unhappily, panting slightly.
"I like you. I like you as long as you are in it. But now that I see that you are getting better and better, I am even happier. Maybe if I work hard, I will have a little prince." Han Chengdao could not stop laughing when he felt Yan Mi's trembling body.
Yan Mi slapped him in anger, and only then did Han Chengdao stop laughing. "The Emperor is with me day and night, but there's still no news about my pregnancy. If others don't know, they might think it's the Emperor who's not doing well."
Han Chengdao bit her chin and said, "You know best whether I believe you or not."
The result of Yan Mi's provocation was that he still hadn't gotten any rest until midnight.
