My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

He didn't argue or defend himself, but said, "You're drunk."

Murong Zhi smiled sadly.

"I didn't even drink any wine, so how could I be drunk? Your Highness, please stop making such lame excuses."

"You just want to get rid of me, so just say it."

"Stop talking nonsense. When did I ever say such a thing?" King Yong interrupted.

It was a time of great turmoil, and it was not appropriate to divorce Murong Zhi outright. If he did so, all the officials would think he was being unkind. He had abandoned his wife, his lifelong companion, and favored his concubine over his wife. This was not the reputation an emperor deserved.

Therefore, even if it means coaxing and deceiving, Murong Zhi must be stabilized temporarily.

That’s right, in fact, he knew from the beginning that Murong Zhi didn’t have him in her heart, but was always thinking about Gu Li.

It's just that I had no choice but to marry her at that time.

"I'm truly sorry for you in this matter. Don't worry, no matter if we have children of our own in the future, when I ascend to the throne, the most honorable position will definitely be reserved for you. You are my first wife, and this will never change."

Murong Zhi also knew that what Prince Yong said was just a polite remark to comfort herself and should not be taken seriously.

But faced with such a situation, she could no longer continue to make trouble and could only go down the stairs and pretend to be grateful.

"Since the prince has made the arrangements, I will leave everything to the prince's decision."

Although they may not be in agreement with each other, the two have already understood each other tacitly over the years and can cooperate with each other effortlessly.

First secure the position of queen, and then work your way up slowly.

Just when King Yong thought he had victory, he didn't know that the 100,000-strong army led by Gu Li from the border had secretly taken a shortcut and was gradually approaching the capital.

At the same time, Qiu Ning also got the antidote from the abbot of Huguo Temple, and planned to take some time to return to Beijing secretly and find a way to secretly feed the medicine to the emperor.

In fact, this was also what Gu Li told her the night before the emperor was poisoned. In order to overthrow Prince Yong and completely purge the court, this time, the emperor decided to intervene and actually took the poison.

However, the antidote had been prepared in the Huguo Temple long ago.

Previously, the emperor had arranged for Gu Li to secretly investigate the location where Prince Yong trained his private soldiers. However, Prince Yong was very cautious, and Gu Li had not been able to find out. He only found out that he had private correspondence with the Saint of Southern Xinjiang.

The Saint of Southern Border is best at poisoning people, and she has a very powerful poison in her hands, which is Zhiyu Qianye.

Therefore, the emperor and Gu Li made a plan in advance. One was poisoned, and the other secretly led troops back to the palace to rescue the emperor under the guise of looking for medicine.

But the palace was heavily guarded and Qiu Ning could not get in. He could only knock out a young eunuch who was out of the palace to purchase goods, change into the eunuch's clothes, and sneak into the palace.

Prince Yong's men were patrolling everywhere. Even the concubines who usually strolled around the imperial garden from time to time stayed quietly in their respective palaces at this time, for fear of getting into trouble.

Just as Qiu Ning was thinking about how to enter the Yangxin Palace, a hand suddenly stretched out from the rockery and pulled him in.

Qiu Ning instinctively wanted to call out, but heard a familiar voice behind him:

"Don't scream, it's me."

Qiu Ning suddenly stopped struggling and used his arms to push towards Wan Zilang behind him.

"Don't you know that scaring people to death is scary? Why are you in the palace?"

Wan Zilang actually appeared in the harem late at night. Is this palace a sieve?

"Shh! I finally made it to the palace. Please don't make a sound. There are many masters in the palace."

After he reminded her, Qiu Ning immediately came back to her senses and got back to the point: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you in the palace?"

"If you can come, why can't I? I'm really worried about my sister, but I can't send any news to her, so I have to come and see her in person."

Thinking of the imperial concubine, Qiu Ning also frowned.

"I heard that the Imperial Concubine was implicated in the poisoning incident and is now imprisoned in the Pepper Palace. Even if you were to enter the palace, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to get in."

However, Wan Zilang was well prepared. He took out a human skin mask from his arms and slowly put it on his face in front of Qiu Ning. Then he applied ointment of the same color on the corners. In a short while, a strange face appeared in front of Qiu Ning.

Qiu Ning was shocked. She leaned forward to take a closer look. Wow, at night, there was really no trace at all. Even the pores on the mask were exactly the same as real human skin.

"Do you still have this treasure? If you still have it, give me one."

However, Wan Zilang spread his hands and said regretfully, "You think this is cabbage, you can have it if you want it. This one was specially made for me based on the portrait in order to enter the palace. This one alone costs a thousand gold coins."

Qiu Ning quickly grasped the important message in his words, "You mean, this thing can be made into the shape of any person you want?"

Wan Zilang raised his head proudly, "Of course, this is the unique secret method of the Ghost Doctor, most people don't know it at all."

Qiu Ning rolled his eyes and soon came up with an idea.

So, she immediately dragged Wan Zilang out of the palace secretly the way they came, and then quickly found the mysterious ghost doctor and asked him to customize a human skin mask for her.

However, the Ghost Doctor was also a man with a bad temper. He probably saw what Qiu Ning was planning to do, so he politely declined.

"I have this secret method to save my life at critical moments, not to make money. After all, it is too risky.

The reason I can sell one to Master Wan is because he saved my life before, but I'm sorry, it's difficult for me to do that for others."

Qiu Ning was anxious and looked at Wan Zilang, asking him to help plead for mercy.

But facing Wan Zilang, the Ghost Doctor still refused to give in and insisted that he did not dare to take the risk.

Qiu Ning was not discouraged. Before leaving, she asked the other party, "Excuse me, if I have saved your life, would you be willing to make one for me?"

Although the ghost doctor didn't understand why, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, I can consider it."

Qiu Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

……

That night, when the ghost doctor closed the pharmacy and was about to pack up and go home, several masked assassins suddenly came into the shop. The moment they saw him, they immediately slashed at him with a knife.

If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have become a corpse on the spot.

The ghost doctor sprinkled a handful of powder and quickly fled towards a nearby path. He often traveled around the world, so he must have encountered some enemy.

Just a short distance away, at the other end of the alley, stood a masked assassin with a knife, followed closely by pursuers.

The Ghost Doctor immediately stopped and tried to discuss something with the assassins:

"I don't know who ordered you all to do this. I'm just an ordinary pharmacy owner, why would you make such a fuss?"

Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice was heard from the rooftop not far away, which made the Ghost Doctor stunned.

"I ordered this, Chu Zhou. You old bastard, how dare you deceive my feelings? You pulled up your pants and denied it after sleeping with me. Did you think that if I changed my attitude, I wouldn't be able to catch you?"

Upon hearing this familiar tone, the ghost doctor almost fell down on the spot.

Oh my God, what kind of wind brought this female devil here?

It seems that I will end up in this female devil's bed again tonight.

The ghost doctor was still complaining and wailing in his heart.

"Madam Jin, I've already said it before. It was an accident. It was definitely not my intention. Besides, I've already given you all the compensation you deserve. Why are you still so persistent?"

The woman called Jin Niangzi ignored him completely. She swung the whip in her hand and asked, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me, do you want to come with me tonight?"

The ghost doctor barely dodged the violent whip and was about to appear mighty and unyielding, but suddenly he heard a sweet voice behind him.

"Master, is this the future Master's Wife you always talk about?"

When the ghost doctor heard this, he almost vomited blood.
