I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

After entering the inner hall and washing up, they embraced each other and fell asleep. Xiao Mohan's hot breath fell on her trembling eyelashes, "Madam, you are the only one in my life."

Su Yu'er rested her head on Xiao Mohan's broad and strong shoulders, and rubbed his ears with her warm fingers, "Husband!"

The woman he had loved for a thousand years was right before his eyes, and now she was pregnant with his son.

Xiao Mohan tried hard to suppress his desires and impulses.

Su Yu'er looked at him distressedly, leaned over and pecked him lightly on the lips, then kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said shyly: "Husband, it's okay..."

Xiao Mohan rolled his throat and held her in his arms, "Be good!"

Su Yuer kissed him directly on his tall, white nose, then slowly slid down to his lips, which she bit lightly.

Xiao Mohan failed completely. He placed one wet kiss after another on her fair and soft neck.

His deep, deep whispers were chewed up by the night wind, leaving him with only a hoarse gasp. "...Madam, I love you."

He nuzzled close to Su Yu'er's ear, calling her name over and over again, his voice deep and mellow. Su Yu'er murmured, "...Husband, I love you too."

The warm moon hangs high in the sky, casting its silver light over the red walls and green tiles. A faint silver glow filters through the window screens.

The candles were quietly extinguished at some point, and Fengluan Palace darkened. The autumn night was cloudless, and the stars twinkled silently...

Everything was silent and quiet, the sandalwood bed made a rustling sound, mixed with some intermittent gasps and stammers...

Xiao Mohan got up early the next day and went to court, while Su Yuer lay in bed for two days before getting up.

During the two days she was bedridden, the situation in the capital had changed dramatically.

Prime Minister's Mansion

The butler hurried to the study, bowed and said, "Master, the princess of Kunling Kingdom is here to visit."

"Oh? The Kunling Kingdom's envoys haven't arrived yet, but this princess has arrived at the Jinsheng Dynasty in advance?" Prime Minister Lu bent over his desk and pondered for a moment, "Let her in."

Ye Qianqian walked into the study and sat directly opposite Prime Minister Lu.

Prime Minister Lu sat at the table, looking across at the princess of Kunling Kingdom and said, "I wonder what brings Princess Qianqian here?"

Ye Qianqian said without hiding anything: "Prime Minister Lu, the princess is visiting you today because of the affairs of Kunling Kingdom, or rather, because of the princess herself."

Prime Minister Lu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"This princess came to the Jinsheng Dynasty ahead of time this time because she wanted to learn about the current situation of the Jinsheng Dynasty in advance."

"Princess Qianqian, this is probably inappropriate! This is a matter between two countries. How could I possibly tell you about it?" Prime Minister Lu said with disdain.

"Prime Minister Lu, you have misunderstood. This princess comes here with full sincerity. And this princess intends to cooperate with the Prime Minister."

"Cooperation? I wonder what exactly Princess Qianqian means by cooperation?" Prime Minister Lu looked at her sideways.

“This princess came to the Jinsheng Dynasty in advance and learned some of the situation.

The daughter of Prime Minister Lu, now the Concubine Li, must have had a hard time in the palace!

The Emperor of the Jinsheng Dynasty doted on the Imperial Concubine, no...she is now the Empress."

"So what?" Prime Minister Lu looked at her indifferently.

"This princess has come to the Jinsheng Dynasty for the purpose of marriage and for the friendly relations between our two countries.

If Lord Lu could say a few more kind words at this banquet to entertain the envoys, then after I enter the palace as a concubine, I can join forces with Concubine Li to deal with the Queen."

Ye Qianqian stared at Prime Minister Lu and said:

For the Jinsheng Dynasty, Prime Minister Lu has been at the forefront, leading the charge. However, the Emperor's treatment of your daughter is unfair.

Why don't we work together? It will benefit both of us.

In the future, Kunling Kingdom will definitely support Prime Minister Lu with all its strength.

Prime Minister Lu, you might as well consider my suggestion carefully." Ye Qianqian said sincerely.

"That is your Kunling Kingdom's business, and I can't do anything about it!" Prime Minister Lu refused without hesitation.

"A tiny country like Kunling actually wants to use me." Prime Minister Lu was filled with disdain and ridicule.

"Prime Minister Lu, please don't be so decisive. You might need our Kunling Nation's help someday!

The delegation will arrive in two days. If the Prime Minister has made up his mind, he can go to the inn to find this princess. "After saying this, Ye Qianqian turned and walked out of the study.

Prime Minister Lu looked at her back and fell into deep thought for a long time.

On the evening of the flower viewing banquet, his son Lu Haozhe brought his concubine Su Yuting to the study and told him everything that had happened that day.

The most shocking thing is that the queen has such superb kung fu skills without revealing it.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lu was suddenly filled with a deep fear. If this assassination were discovered, it would be a serious crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his family!

The next day, Fengyue Tower was razed to the ground overnight. Thinking of this, Prime Minister Lu felt his scalp tingling.

If the Queen found out that he had hired the killer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He paced back and forth anxiously in the study, his brow furrowed and his face full of worry, thinking hard about how to deal with the situation.

Should he continue to fight against the Queen regardless of the consequences, or should he quickly find other ways to protect himself?

Ye Qianqian's proposal kept popping up in his mind, making him feel upset.

Prime Minister Lu stopped and sighed, his eyes revealing confusion and entanglement.

He knew very well that every decision at this moment was related to the life and death of the entire family. If there was any mistake, they would fall into an abyss from which there was no escape.

Royal Palace

Inner Hall of Xianyin Palace

"Your Majesty, I just received a message from the master. He will return to Beijing to meet you privately soon." Hongzhu said.

Liu Xiner had a worried look on her face. She picked up the teacup and took a big gulp, trying to suppress the panic in her heart.

This master is ruthless and heartless, with no feelings for anyone. "I am also very worried. Now that Su Yu'er has become the queen, this matter has become even more difficult."

"Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the Queen's pregnancy and find a way to get closer to the Emperor? Maybe there will be a turning point..." Hongxiu couldn't help but interrupt.

"Your Majesty... No way. Since we entered the palace, when has Your Majesty ever set foot in the harem? He only entered the harem after he married the Imperial Concubine, and that was only the Fengluan Palace." Liu Xiner said helplessly.

At the same time, Xiao Mohan was busy with government affairs in the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study, Lu Yuxuan took the ginseng soup from Caixia and took a deep breath.

Ever since she was demoted to Lipin in the Imperial Study, she had kept her distance from Su Yuer. Now that Su Yuer had become the Empress and was pregnant, she felt her chance had come.

Once a man has started having sex, he can't resist the temptation. When Lu Yuxuan thought of this, she felt that she was ready again!

"Eunuch De'an, I have prepared some ginseng soup for His Majesty and would like to bring it in."

"Your servant greets Concubine Li. Please wait a moment." De'an bowed.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li has brought you soup!" De'an walked into the imperial study and bowed.

"Let her in." Xiao Mohan said without raising his head.

"Empress Li, the emperor lets you in." De'an said.

Lu Yuxuan, her face brimming with excitement, walked into the room carrying the ginseng soup. "Your Highness!" Lipin whispered softly.

"Princess Li, why are you here so late instead of resting?" Xiao Mohan asked while lowering his head to review the memorials.

"Your Majesty, I see that you work hard day and night, so I just made some ginseng soup to nourish your body."

"let it go."

"Your Majesty, the Empress has been unwell recently. I can take care of Your Majesty on behalf of the Empress." Lipin said shyly.

Xiao Mohan shouted sternly, "What? Lipin, do you want to sleep with me?"

"Your Majesty." Lu Yuxuan's eyes were charming and she put on the usual expression of a delicate woman. Any man who saw her would feel pity for her.

It's a pity that she met Xiao Mohan, a straight man who is not moved by beauty.

Xiao Mohan put down the memorial in his hand and said indifferently: "Princess Li, put away your inappropriate thoughts."

"De'an," he said, lowering his head and continuing to work...

"Empress Li, please come in!" De'an said respectfully.

"Yes...I understand. I'll take my leave." Lu Yuxuan bit her lower lip tightly and lowered her head to hide the unwillingness in her eyes.

Why! She has liked Xiao Mohan for so many years! Now that Su Yu'er is the queen, she has accepted it, so why doesn't the emperor even look at her?

Filled with grief and resentment, Lu Yuxuan returned to Shaoyang Palace.

Upon entering the inner hall, Lu Yuxuan smashed the Shaoyang Palace to pieces. She then took out her anger on her personal maid, Caixia, beating her and cursing, "What a bitch! She's a bitch! She took the Emperor's place, and now she's the Empress, and she's even pregnant with the Emperor's son. What a shameless vixen..."

Caixia endured it silently. Since the empress was demoted to Lipin, smashing things has become a common occurrence, and beating and scolding have also become commonplace.

The palace maids in Shaoyang Palace were all trembling with fear, wondering when they could be transferred out of Shaoyang Palace. Who knew when it would be their turn to become a punching bag?

At this time, Lu Yuxuan, who was still committing violence, had no idea that all the palace maids had turned away from her. Even her personal bodyguard Caixia had lost her loyalty due to her torture.

When Caixia was about to die, Lu Yuxuan finally vented enough and stopped.

She glanced down at Caixia, realizing she had been a bit harsh. She then slipped the jade bracelet off her wrist and threw it to Caixia, "This is a gift from me. Go apply some medicine yourself, and then have someone come clean and help me change my clothes."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yuxuan remembered the poison hidden in her sleeve - Croton.

She hurriedly took out the poison, handed it to Caixia, and said, "This is Crane's Beak Red. Find a way to put it in the Queen's food. She is making my life difficult, so let her die!" She said with a ferocious face and viciousness.

Caixia looked at Lipin's distorted face in horror. She looked even more terrifying now than when she hit herself just now.

She lowered her head and looked at the jade bracelet on the ground. Caixia lost her self-esteem, gritted her teeth, and picked up the jade bracelet. "Yes..." Dragging her body full of scars, Caixia slowly walked out of Shaoyang Palace.
