The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Chengming Hall.

Lu Mingrui came out of Shaoguang Palace, stood in the center of the hall with his back bowed, and reported everything he learned from his sister, no matter how big or small.

Qi Junyi sat upright on the dragon throne, reviewing the memorials on the table.

He had not been too concerned about this matter, but as Lu Mingrui spoke, the red pen in his hand gradually stopped, his eyes moved away from the memorial, and he lowered his eyes to look down, and said firmly: "Is the joy dispersed?"

The voice was light and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

Lu Mingrui felt a chill down his spine and bowed even lower. "Your Majesty, please understand. This is Concubine Xian's evil scheme. Yao'er never intended to participate. Although she is arrogant, she is not a bad person. When she saw me, she was completely unreserved..."

"You don't need to explain," Qi Junyi had no patience to listen any further. He raised his hand to interrupt his defense and said, "Do you understand Huanqingsan? Besides actively seeking pleasure with your loved one, does this medicine have any other effects? Will it be harmful to your body?"

Lu Mingrui was a frequent visitor to the entertainment world. Even if he had never tried out the new things in the boudoir, he had heard of them and naturally knew about this Huanqingsan.

Hearing this, before he could even taste the flavor, he bluntly said, "Huanqing Powder flowed into the capital from Southern Xinjiang, and is only used as a peace of mind among lovers. If you don't have a loved one, accidentally taking Huanqing Powder will not cause any symptoms. But if you have a loved one, and that loved one appears before you, then it becomes... an aphrodisiac. The more you love that person, the stronger the effect."

This is true for both men and women.

Because of its unique medicinal effect, it became popular in the capital for a while.

Countless ladies have sought this medicine to test how sincere their partner is to them.

However, this medicine was in short supply, and even though he was the prince of the Duke's Mansion, he couldn't find a way to get a copy. He didn't expect that Concubine Xian would have it.

There is no need to guess too much, the Yongle Marquisate behind her must have made great efforts.

But how could they be so sure that after the Imperial Concubine took the Chinese medicine, she would...

As if struck by lightning, Lu Mingrui's body suddenly stiffened. He finally understood why the emperor was interested in Huanqingsan. Then he heard the emperor's cold voice sounded again from above.

"Go tell your sister to cooperate with Consort Xian."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Mingrui was so shocked that he didn't even care about the hierarchy. He looked up suddenly and said, "You want the Queen to..."

Under the Emperor's indifferent gaze, he paused and stammered, "Please think it over."

Think twice.

Qi Junyi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He slowly stood up and walked down the stairs, his face unclear. "As you said, as long as it's not the person you like, it won't matter if you are poisoned by Huanqingsan."

"That being said, but..." Lu Mingrui paused and whispered, "Your Majesty, your relationship with the Empress is as sweet as honey. If the Empress knew that you were testing her like this... I'm afraid..."

"Then don't let her know," Qi Junyi said, "In her eyes, all this will only be the work of Concubine Xian."

"This..." Lu Mingrui wanted to say something else, but was shocked by the look in the eyes of the emperor who had already walked closer.

Qi Junyi's eyes were filled with dark colors, and his face was expressionless as he said, "I have always wanted to find out whether she still has feelings for that old love."

The human heart is greedy.

The closer their relationship becomes, the greed in his heart will only grow deeper.

At the beginning, he thought that even if she would never forgive him in her life and never give her true love to him again, as long as the lively little girl could stay by his side, he would be content.

Until now, they have been together day and night. His little girl is delicate and charming. She will take the initiative to kiss him, hug him, get angry and laugh at him, and most of the time, she will also... frankly show her desire for him.

Everything beautiful is unreal.

It was so beautiful that he couldn't accept any flaw in it.

She should be like him, body and soul, only able to accommodate each other.

Others can't.

No one can.

Even if it was her former lover.

Whenever he thought of the word "lover", an irrepressible sour feeling that once belonged to her and another boy would sweep over him, clamoring to devour his sanity.

Of course, Qi Junyi understood that he had to restrain himself, because the tragic consequences of failing to restrain himself were still vivid in his mind, and he could not bear it.

But he couldn't continue to dwell on such suspicion.

too painful.

So this time, he took this opportunity to test the waters...

Even if the truth is cruel, it is better than letting Wubiandu suspect and torture himself.

The huge palace became quiet.

His Majesty the Emperor stood there, his body leaning forward, his back straight, still as handsome and graceful as a pine or cypress, invincible.

However, Lu Mingrui could feel that his cousin the emperor was terribly fragile at the moment.

The word "love" is really powerful.

Even the emperor who was pure-hearted, cold-blooded, and had unfathomable thoughts was tortured to this extent. It would be better for him to stay away from this thing in his life.

After a long silence, Qi Junyi spoke, "Tell Lu Mingyao to cooperate with Consort Xian, but also to keep her mouth shut. I don't know about this matter."

"Yes!"

"Go back."

"Yes!"

Lu Mingrui bowed deeply and was about to leave when Liu Rong's greetings suddenly came from outside the hall.

Soon, there was a knock on the palace door, and Liu Rong pushed it open and entered, announcing, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."

Qi Junyi's body trembled, and he quickly walked to the door. He saw a little girl in a moon-blue cloak standing at the bottom of the palace steps, looking up and smiling at him.

...It was impossible to hear the conversation inside the hall from that distance.

After reaching this conclusion, his tense mind suddenly relaxed.

"Yueyue," Qi Junyi walked over, held her soft little hand, and led her into the hall, "Why did you come here in such a cold day?"

"I just came back from outside the palace. On a whim, I came to see you." Jiang Lingyue let him lead her away. When she passed Lu Mingrui who was leaving the palace, she greeted him, "Who is this, sir? Am I disturbing your discussion of government affairs?"
