Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

"Master, master, that old hag has laced the wine with something!"

Xiao Bai's voice sounded somewhat urgent, and even Rongrong and Li Yuanqi heard Xiao Bai's warning.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously considered the same possibility.

It seems this old hag wants you and that green tea b*tch to have sex.

Lian Rongrong used Xiaobai's consciousness to speak to Li Yuanqi.

Li Yuanqi's lips curled slightly, but he didn't respond. However, a sly glint seemed to gleam in his eyes.

Lian Rongrong was completely bewildered. She was the one being schemed against, but it seemed like this scoundrel was the one scheming against others.

"What mischievous idea have you come up with this time?" Lian Rongrong turned her head to look at Li Yuanqi.

Li Yuanqi smiled slightly. "Madam, guess?"

Stop playing games! Tell me quickly!

【That won't do, if I tell you, there won't be any surprise!】

【Li Yuanqi!】

【Madam, please calm down!】

Just as Lian Rongrong was jumping up and down in anger, the Empress Dowager spoke up.

"Now that everything is ready, let's begin."

Li Yuanqi, Li Yuanyi, and another protagonist, Hua Ling, all stood up and walked to the Empress Dowager.

The three knelt down to express their gratitude, followed by a simple sworn brotherhood ceremony.

In fact, royal family recognition is not so simple, but today's purpose is just to help Hua Ling get into Li Yuanqi's bed.

So as long as Li Yuanqi obediently drinks the wine, everything will be fine.

The Empress Dowager and Hua Ling originally thought that it would take some effort to trick Li Yuanqi into drinking the wine, but to their surprise, Li Yuanqi picked up the wine cup without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

"Miss Hua, from this moment on, we are brother and sister. From now on, you must not have any more thoughts about me!"

A younger sister's longing for her older brother is a violation of ethical norms.

Li Yuanqi put down his wine cup, not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark about Hua Ling.

Hua Ling stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to say, but seeing Li Yuanqi's empty cup, she immediately felt relieved.

Watching Li Yuanqi's retreating figure, Hua Ling thought to herself: You're talking nicely now, just wait and see how you'll be begging me for it later!

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, the Empress Dowager, sitting on the main seat, was quite satisfied.

"Alright, I'm tired today. You should all go back to your rooms and rest."

As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the servants of Cixi Palace stepped forward one after another, each taking charge of one person, intending to lead everyone back to their respective rooms to rest.

"Grandmother, didn't you say you were going to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year? What time is it? Aren't you going to stay up?"

Seeing the Empress Dowager get up, Li Yuanqi deliberately picked a fight and asked her a question.

How could the old witch Empress Dowager dare to actually stay up all night? Once the effects of the medicine kick in, wouldn't she be exposed?

"I'm getting old and can't stay up late anymore. That's enough for today!"

After speaking, the Empress Dowager got up and left, and the servants around her also raised their hands to signal that they were going to lead everyone away.

Inside the Cixi Palace, the Empress Dowager had changed out of her heavy, ornate robes, attended by her maids.

"Are you sure everything will go perfectly?" the Empress Dowager asked the head maid beside her.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant has put the drug in the wine. No matter which cup His Highness drinks, he will definitely be affected."

"It's added to the wine?" The Empress Dowager's tone rose slightly.

Upon hearing this, the head maid immediately explained, "Your Majesty, please forgive His Highness, His Highness is far too perceptive."

The servant was worried that putting the medicine in the cup would lead to discovery, so she took it upon herself to put it directly into the wine.

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Your concerns are not without merit, but in doing so, wouldn't the Prince of Yi also fall into the trap?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have already arranged for palace maids to serve Prince Yi in his room. They will certainly not harm Prince Yi's health."

"Yes, you are the most reliable person after all."

While the old hag and the wicked nanny were talking, Lian Rongrong was pacing restlessly in the room.

"Xiaobai, I have a feeling that Li Yuanqi might have actually drunk the wine."

It seems so!

"Didn't he know there was something in the drink?"

[I think I know!]

"Then why are you still drinking?"

[He seems to be sick!]

"noob!"

Xiao Bai was humiliated and didn't dare to utter a sound for a long time. Seeing that Lian Rongrong seemed genuinely worried, she then tried to persuade him in a cheeky manner:

Don't worry, Master. The expressionless prince is a cunning fellow, even more shrewd than a monkey.

Since he dared to drink it, he must have a solution. He'll be fine, don't worry!

No sooner had Xiaobai finished speaking than the window of Lian Rongrong's room was suddenly kicked open.

"Who goes there?" Lian Rongrong instinctively reached for the short crossbow in her sleeve, but before she could even raise her hand, she was already in someone's arms.

“Madam, it’s me!” Lian Rongrong’s tense body quickly relaxed.

Although she couldn't see the man hugging her from behind, Lian Rongrong recognized Li Yuanqi's voice and was even more familiar with his scent.

However, this guy's aura seemed a bit chaotic at the moment.

"Why are you here?" Lian Rongrong gently placed her hands on Li Yuanqi's hands.

With just a simple touch, Li Yuanqi couldn't help but hug the woman in his arms even tighter.

"I've come to Madam for help!" Li Yuanqi gently turned Lian Rongrong's body around, and the two looked at each other.

"Madam, I've been poisoned! Only you can cure me!"

Lian Rongrong could feel that Li Yuanqi's body was burning hot, which was obviously caused by the wine laced with medicine.

"You idiot, you knew there was something wrong with the alcohol, so why did you still drink it?"

“That would seem more real and make it easier to convince the old hag!” Li Yuanqi grinned mischievously, making up a story on the spot.

"Pah! With your skills, handling a glass of wine without being detected is a piece of cake."

I think you did that on purpose!

"Oh no! What should we do? Madam has found out!" Li Yuanqi gently kissed Lian Rongrong's forehead with his burning hot kiss.

"I don't care, I'm poisoned. If you don't help me, I'm going to explode and die!"

"Go ahead and explode, you bastard! I thought you were plotting against others, but it turns out you were plotting against me!"

Lian Rongrong was so angry she was speechless. Who would have thought that the dignified Prince Qi would actually drink that kind of medicine on his own initiative?

"Madam is truly cruel. When you fell for her, I bravely sacrificed myself without hesitation."

How could this happen to me? The lady is so cold-blooded. I don't care, I want it!

Li Yuanqi scooped Lian Rongrong up in his arms and carried her to the bedside.

Having witnessed the whole thing, Xiaobai cursed, "The prince is a real dog," before automatically shutting down her five senses to cultivate.

……

"You bastard, are you trying to kill me with your energy?"

Lian Rongrong weakly pressed her hands against Li Yuanqi's chest.

"No, the poison hasn't been completely neutralized yet!"

"No... Waaaaah!"

Lian Rongrong's protest was instantly drowned out by Li Yuanqi's domineering kiss.

……

This time, Lian Rongrong finally understood who Li Yuanqi was scheming against with that cunning look in his eyes!

This dog is no ordinary dog!

However, regarding the matter of Prince Qi only having a dog wife, even Rongrong still framed him.

After all, when this prince left the West Courtyard, he specifically left Uncle Ling in his own bedroom.
