The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

"The inkstone..."

This was the second time Qi Yitang had been drugged with aphrodisiacs. The first time, she drank it herself and changed the medicine herself, and the dosage was relatively light.

Even so, Qi Yitang was left in a daze and was tormented all night.

The drug is even more potent tonight.

Qi Yitang had no idea how she had managed to hold on until now; she was probably just soaked in the wine that had been spilled on her skirt.

Unable to bear the heat, she tugged at her collar and forced herself to walk into the side hall indicated by the bullet comments.

When she went in, Qin Lianyue was already lying in bed.

Qi Yitang was horrified, her eyes widened, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

No way? Xie Ling couldn't have really gotten dirty, could she?

She doesn't want dirty cucumbers!

Qi Yitang suddenly hesitated to go forward, afraid of witnessing the scene of mandarin ducks entwined.

Xie Ling's kindness towards her suddenly surfaced in her mind, one thing after another, too many to count. But in an instant, a horrifying image of Xie Ling pinning someone down flashed before her eyes...

It felt like something was squeezing my heart tightly.

Qi Yitang was stung by this scene, and she couldn't help but wonder... would he treat Qin Lianyue so well in the future?

If Qin Lian takes advantage of Xie Ling's favor and bullies him, will Xie Ling support his new love and disregard his old love?

Qi Yitang became melancholic, sniffed, tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle, and stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.

However, when she got closer, there was no other person on the bed, and Qin Lianyue's clothes were intact.

It looked like she had been knocked unconscious and put on the bed.

Qi Yitang breathed a sigh of relief. She knew it; Xie Ling wouldn't be that quick.

Although I don't know where Xie Ling went, thank goodness he's not dirty.

But she herself wasn't so good.

A sense of emptiness and unfamiliar restlessness surged through her body. Qi Yitang's gaze wandered, like a pitiful little animal left behind, searching everywhere for Xie Ling's figure.

Where are they...?

Where did Xie Ling go?

There was some noise outside the door, as if someone was about to come in.

Just as Qi Yitang was exhausted and almost slipped to the ground, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and she was picked up horizontally and jumped out of the window.

The light and shadows flashed by, and then the two returned to Yaotang Palace.

"Mmm..." Looking at the familiar bed curtains, Qi Yitang was dizzy from Xie Ling's kiss and couldn't come back to her senses.

What exactly is going on? Where did Xie Ling come from?

Wasn't he under the influence of aphrodisiacs?

Qi Yitang originally went to save people, but compared to Xie Ling, whose features were clear and showed no trace of Chinese medicine, she seemed to be the one who needed to be saved.

The effects of the drug were raging within her body. Qi Yitang's eyes were wet and glistening, her wisps of hair clung to her cheeks, and her clothes were disheveled and rumpled.

"Yanzhi, I feel uncomfortable..."

Her cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue, like the petals of a rose that could be crushed to release their juice.

Qi Yitang couldn't understand anything, she only knew that the person in front of her was her cure.

"...My husband, please help me."

Xie Ling felt like he had a little cat in his heart, sometimes mischievous, scratching him everywhere, and sometimes stepping on him with her soft pink paws, making him want to bite her hard and eat her whole, swallowing her into his belly.

I should have said something to her—I had clearly told her to sit still and not run around, but she still wouldn't listen.

But seeing Qi Yitang's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to blame her.

Xie Ling sighed and slowly took off her sticky, damp outer garment. "Tangtang, be good, you won't feel uncomfortable in a little while."

……

Xie Jingyu pressed forward aggressively, intending to conquer and seize territory, but unexpectedly sensed something...

His movements froze instantly. How could this be?!

Didn't they say that Tang'er and Xie Ling had already consummated their marriage?

Although Xie Jingyu did it to cuckold Xie Ling, Qi Yitang's first time wasn't with him, and it wasn't that he didn't care. But since it had already happened, there was no point in him feeling disgusted anymore.

Now it's unbelievable...

Does that mean nothing ever happened between her and Xie Ling?

Overwhelmed with joy, Xie Jingyu cried out, "Tang'er, so it was you—"

The pain brought Qin Lianyue a moment of clarity, but she didn't want to hear another woman's name from her cousin's mouth, so she kissed "Xie Ling"'s lips fiercely.

"My husband..."

wrong!

Xie Jingyu frowned, his mind, which had been clouded by the drug's effects, instantly cleared up. This wasn't Qi Yitang's voice!

Dark clouds gradually gathered outside the window, but in a moment, the moonlight that shone through the gaps in the clouds allowed Xie Jingyu to see the person beneath him clearly.

It wasn't Qi Yitang at all, it was Qin Lianyue!

Xie Jingyu was struck dumb.

How could it be her? He clearly saw Qi Yitang go in, where did this woman come from!

Qin Lianyue was already delirious from the drug's effects. Seeing that Xie Jingyu remained motionless, she squirmed restlessly, "Husband, move a little..."

Xie Jingyu instinctively wanted to flip her over and kick her away.

But the next moment, he abruptly stopped.

Although not Qi Yitang, Qin Lianyue was still Xie Ling's concubine. Regardless of whether Xie Ling liked her or not, she was nominally the emperor's woman.

If he slept with her, he would be cheating on Xie Ling as well.

Moreover, Qin Lianyue is Qin Zhenxiong's daughter. If she is pregnant and it is a son... Qin Zhenxiong will definitely force the emperor to abdicate and support the child to the throne.

In that brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Xie Jingyu grinned with a strange smile, as if he could already see the throne beckoning to him.

In that instant, Qin Lianyue was no longer Qin Lianyue, but a bargaining chip for him to ascend the throne.

Xie Jingyu originally planned to have someone catch Qi Yitang in the act of adultery and expose her loss of virginity in public, so that Xie Ling would definitely despise her and even banish her to the cold palace.

He then showered her with affection and promised to make her his empress after achieving great things. Qi Yitang's heart would then completely turn to him, causing her to turn against Xie Ling and kill him suddenly.

But at this moment, Xie Jingyu suddenly changed his mind.

He whistled, signaling the people Zhao Yan had prepared to "catch the adulterer" outside the window to leave, and then almost forcefully pinned Qin Lianyue down again.

He deliberately imitated Xie Ling's voice to coax her, "Your husband will cherish you and give me a prince."

—There are always some sacrifices to be made for the throne.

Qin Lianyue was overjoyed and readily agreed, fully believing that her cousin had finally changed his mind.

For the second half, Qin Lianyue couldn't say whether she felt comfortable or not; she only had one thought in her mind:

She finally got her wish and became her cousin's woman.

……

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Degui announced loudly that His Majesty was drunk and had already returned to the palace to rest.

Then he announced the end of the banquet, instructing the palace servants to take good care of the Empress Dowager, and arranged for Prince Jin to rest in the palace.

Officials and their wives also left the palace one after another.

Qin Zhenxiong and Yang Lanru walked at the very back. He whispered, "Go and see if it's done."

"Yes."

Yang Lanru then carefully went to Changchun Pavilion.

Upon opening the door, the alluring fragrance had long since faded, replaced by a strong scent of musk. Anyone with experience in such matters would know what that meant.

Yang Lanru blushed, lit the tinderbox, and walked to the bedside.

Then they saw Qin Lianyue sleeping alone, her clothes scattered on the floor, her body covered in bruises, and there were even some bloodstains on the blanket...

Although she somewhat resented His Majesty for being so harsh and showing no pity for her delicate and frail daughter, Yang Lanru's heart pounded like a drum, and she was filled with joy.

—It's done!

As long as their daughter is fertile and conceives a prince, the empress's position will be Qin's for the taking.

Thinking of those vixens in her family who flaunted their power in front of her because of the general's favor, and the daughter left behind by that slut... She's been dead for so many years, yet she still has a sickly child to get her hands on.

A ruthless glint appeared on Yang Lanru's face.

Once she becomes the Empress's birth mother, let's see if those lowly hussies still dare to be presumptuous in front of her.

"Yue'er..." Yang Lanru ordered someone to send Qin Lianyue back to her palace. After cleaning up the scene, she returned to Qin Zhenxiong's side with great excitement and whispered the good news.

"General, it's done."

Qin Zhenxiong's brows relaxed, and he repeatedly said, "Good! Good!"
