I just want to rob you of your luck

In Yaohua Palace, Concubine Zhao listened listlessly as the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported to her on the preparations for His Majesty's Longevity Festival.

During this period, she resumed her position as imperial concubine. People in the palace were very good at changing their attitudes according to the situation, and these stewards became respectful when they saw her.

After they finished their reports, she said lazily, "Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday. You must keep a close eye on it. If there is a problem in any link, I will find the person in charge and hold him accountable. Do you understand?"

The several managers below all responded in a meek manner. They knew that the matter was of great importance and naturally did not dare to mess around.

"Okay, you go down."

After the few people left, Concubine Zhao sighed softly.

Madam Cai brought her a cup of tea and asked with concern, "Why is the imperial concubine sighing?"

Concubine Zhao was upset but didn't dare tell anyone else, but she still trusted Madam Cai very much.

"Mammy, do you think His Majesty really likes me?"

Nanny Zhao looked at Concubine Zhao strangely: "For so many years, His Majesty has been extremely fond of Concubine Zhao. Even Empress Sun at that time could not compare to you in this respect."

"From what I can see, His Majesty has feelings for the Empress, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nervous when he saw the Empress cut her wrist last time, and he restored the Empress's position as Imperial Concubine.

Recently, His Majesty has been favoring you alone, and even Concubine Wan has fallen out of favor. Are you worrying too much?"

However, Concubine Zhao was not at all happy because of what Madam Cai said.

"Mammy, you don't know that although His Majesty has been staying over here with me recently, he has not shown me favor. Every time I want to take the initiative, His Majesty would refuse with various excuses."

Madam Cai looked at Concubine Zhao in shock: "Then your Majesty always asks for water bathing, is it just for show?"

Concubine Zhao nodded and said, "In the past, I could feel that His Majesty liked me, but this time, I feel different from before. Yes, His Majesty has changed since that little bitch Concubine Wan entered the palace!"

Madam Cai's triangular eyes also darkened a little. If His Majesty was just pretending every time he came, then he must have a woman in his heart that he cares about very much.

However, Your Majesty is hindered by the power of Duke Zhao's Mansion and dares not neglect the Imperial Concubine, so this is the case.

Judging from recent developments, Concubine Wan is indeed the most suspicious.

However, tomorrow Concubine Wan will fall into an irretrievable situation. If Concubine Wan is eliminated, there will no longer be a woman in the harem who can compete with the Imperial Concubine.

Sooner or later, His Majesty's heart will be warmed by the Imperial Concubine.

Concubine Zhao's eyes were filled with sternness: "Mammy, how are you arranging the things I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, Madam. I have already arranged for someone to bribe her personal maid. But I will wrong you again tomorrow and use a trick to inflict pain on you."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can get rid of that little bitch, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little. Besides, don't we have the antidote?"

Aunt Cai walked over with a look of concern and massaged the acupoints on Concubine Zhao's head.

"Why didn't your Majesty tell me earlier? It's no wonder I lost a lot of weight hiding all these things."

Concubine Zhao closed her eyes and enjoyed the rare relaxation. Since Lin Jiuer entered the palace, she had not been happy for a single day.

Everything will be settled tomorrow. Once she has dealt with Lin Jiuer, she will start planning for the position of queen.

She would eliminate without hesitation anyone who stood in the way of her and her son from reaching the pinnacle of power.

Zhu Heng did not come to Changle Palace tonight. Lin Jiuer read the travel notes leisurely and planned to take a rest later.

After a while, Yuling came in hurriedly: "Master, Yuyao went out quietly just now. I saw that she looked flustered and a little suspicious, so I reported it to you."

Although she and Yuyao usually have a good relationship, Yuling is simple-minded. When she arrived here, Lin Jiuer treated her well, so she decided that this was her master.

If Yuyao betrayed her master, she would definitely side with her master.

Lin Jiuer smiled faintly: "Okay, I understand, you don't have to worry about other things."

Yuling obediently retreated.

"Yingyi, come out." This is the secret guard Zhu Heng gave her.

Soon the window opened and a man in black appeared in the room.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

"You should have heard it just now, right? Go keep an eye on Yuyao and see who she has come into contact with, or if she has received anything."

"Yes!"

Another gust of wind blew by, and Yingyi disappeared.

About an incense stick of time passed, and there were three knocks on the window.

"come in."

Ying Yi appeared in the house again.

"I just saw Yuyao interacting with a woman dressed as a palace maid in a corner of the Imperial Garden. The palace maid said a few words to her and left. Yuyao has returned."

Lin Jiuer asked: "Do you know which palace the maid she was in contact with was from?"

Ying Yi shook his head: "I don't recognize her, but I looked at the direction she left and it seems she went to Yaohua Palace."

Lin Jiuer nodded with satisfaction: "I understand, you have worked hard."

Ying Yiyi clasped his fists and disappeared into the house.

No matter what Yuyao plans to do tomorrow, as long as Yingyi testifies, Zhu Heng will not believe the false accusations against her.

Besides, she has many ways to save her life, so she is not too worried.

Lin Jiuer had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, Yuling and Yuyao came to help her wash and dress.

On the surface, everything seemed normal, but Lin Jiuer knew that Yuyao was definitely very nervous.

She used the mind-reading talisman directly on Yuyao.

I immediately heard Yu Yao's voice in my mind: "May the Bodhisattva bless you, may the Buddha bless you, I hope everything goes well today."

Lin Jiuer sneered in her heart, he was still praying to God even when his death was imminent, no one could stop him from committing suicide.

Yu Yao didn't say anything useful, so Lin Jiuer ate breakfast.

Then he took Yuling and Yuyao to the banquet hall for the Wanshou Festival.

Many guests had already arrived, and she was about to walk to her seat and sit down.

Then Yuling said, "Master, I heard that today the drinks are self-selected. There are many varieties, and there are also tributes from foreign countries. They are all very rare. Do you want to go over and take a look and see what you like to drink?"

Lin Jiuer smiled faintly and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go over and take a look."

Lin Jiuer followed Yu Yao and walked towards the back of the main seat in the hall.

Sure enough, I saw a self-service beverage room at the back, which was specially arranged for this banquet.

There are indeed many varieties of alcoholic beverages in it.

Suddenly, she heard Yu Yao say in her mind: "As long as we bring Concubine Wan here, our mission will be accomplished. When the Imperial Concubine shows signs of poisoning, I will stand up and testify that it was Concubine Wan who poisoned her, and our mission will be accomplished.

Concubine Wan is really just a foolish beauty. How can she have any good intentions? Who would condescend to come here to check? She is so easy to deceive. "

Lin Jiuer smiled faintly. It turned out that this was their plan. Concubine Zhao was really willing to be ruthless to herself in order to get rid of her.

She selected a drink that looked like wine.

Then he took Yuling and Yuyao back to his seat.
