The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't believe me?"

Consort Hu said calmly, "Enough with your arrogant words. How can I believe you?"

Cao Yuan smiled calmly and said, "Does Your Highness know that night has fallen?"

Hu Meiren's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "You also know about Nightfall?"

Cao Yuan, with one hand behind his back, said, "I know. I not only know about Nightfall, but I also know that Nightfall has four fierce generals."

"Hehe..." Hu Meiren chuckled, "You're not trying to say you're from Nightfall, are you?"

Cao Yuan smiled and said, "No, what I meant was that Madam Mingzhu is a member of Nightfall, and one of Nightfall's Four Fierce Generals."

"boom……"

Hu Meiren was stunned by Cao Yuan's words.

Her body trembled, and she stared at Cao Yuan in shock. "How is this possible!"

Cao Yuan smiled and said, "Whether it's possible or not depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to believe it."

“…The Blood-Clad Marquis, the Jade Tiger on the Stone, the Tide Demoness of the Azure Sea, the Straw-Clad Traveler Under the Moon.” Hu Meiren finished speaking with a heavy heart, then asked in a somber tone, “Could it be that Lady Mingzhu is the Tide Demoness?”

Cao Yuan turned around without looking back and said, "Your Majesty should know this, and not spread it easily."

Hu Meiren only came to her senses after Cao Yuan left.

This news was a complete shock to her.

This made her immediately stop having any lingering thoughts.

She knew perfectly well what this meant.

It could be said that her life or death was entirely in the hands of Madam Mingzhu, whether she wanted her dead or not.

Suddenly, Hu Meiren stomped her foot in annoyance.

She originally planned to scare Cao Yuan, using both kindness and severity to make him obedient, and also get him to write a poem for her sister. How did she end up being the one who was frightened in the blink of an eye?

No!

She has to turn the tide!

Hu Meiren's foxy eyes flickered slightly, and she decided to find another opportunity to clash with Cao Yuan.

Putting everything else aside, let Cao Yuan write a poem on his sister's birthday!

She felt this was the key to whether she could control Cao Yuan and make him obediently become her sister's lover.

……

Cao Yuan left Consort Hu's bedchamber in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Foreign officials are not allowed to stay in the inner palace for long; this is the rule.

Just as he was about to leave the palace, a palace maid called out to him as she ran by.

"Sir, sir, please wait a moment, Madam requests your presence."

Cao Yuan stopped in his tracks, thinking to himself, "Is this family of women never going to stop?"

He came over to visit, gave Xiao Honglian a necklace, and tried to build a relationship with her.

As it turned out, not only did the sister-in-law intervene, but the big shark also got involved...

Is this what it means for a family to be together all the time?

No one can be missing?

In his opinion, it should be lying neatly on the bed to feel right...

At midday, the sun shines brightly.

Cao Yuan followed Madam Mingzhu's maid into Mingzhu Palace, where they ran into the Fourth Young Master Han Yu, who had just come out of the palace.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Cao Yuan."

Han Yu said with a smile.

Cao Yuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting to run into Han Yu here.

But when he saw Han Yu, he was not surprised to see him, and his heart skipped a beat.

No wonder Madam Mingzhu summoned him after Hu Meiren's informant reported it.

He could tell with his own eyes that Han Yu, who was here, must have betrayed him.

"What a coincidence, is Fourth Young Master about to leave?"

Han Yu said meaningfully, "My ninth brother has returned to Xinzheng, and as his elder brother, I have not yet hosted a welcome banquet for him, which has been a serious oversight. Mr. Cao Yuan, are you free tonight? I would like to host a welcome banquet for you all."

Cao Yuan's heart stirred, and he guessed at Han Yu's intentions.

It's highly likely that Han Yu doesn't want to continue trying to win him over; the only possibility is that he wants to create a rift between Han Fei and him.

"Hehe, if Young Master Jiu is willing to go, I am also willing to go."

Cao Yuan tentatively said.

Han Yu smiled and said, "That's great, I'll go find Ninth Brother right now."

Cao Yuan chuckled inwardly as he watched Han Yu readily agree, and then watched Han Yu leave.

Where is the lady?

Cao Yuan asked the maid who was leading the way.

"Wait for the master in the hall."

The maid didn't utter a single unnecessary word, remaining unmoved no matter how Cao Yuan tried to get information out of her. Clearly, she had been well-trained by Madam Mingzhu and understood what was going on.

Inside the secluded, deep palace.

Madam Mingzhu stretched out her slender fingers, gently pinched a freshly lit incense stick, and inhaled its fragrance.

Amidst the lingering fragrance, Madam Mingzhu slightly narrowed her eyes, her gaze alluring and captivating.

If you look closely, you can also see two teardrop-shaped diamonds stuck under her beautiful eyes, making her already alluring eyes even more captivating.

When Cao Yuan entered the palace and saw Lady Mingzhu lighting incense, he showed no appreciation whatsoever; instead, he became wary.

He knew very well that Lady Mingzhu was skilled at using Baiyue incense, which could bewitch people.

I wonder if being immune to all poisons will work for this... Cao Yuan muttered to himself.

"Cao Yuan greets Madam Mingzhu."

Cao Yuan bowed respectfully.

Lady Mingzhu gently inserted the incense into the incense burner and glanced at Cao Yuan.

She chuckled softly, swayed her hips, and gracefully walked up to Cao Yuan, looking down at him.

"So you are Mr. Cao Yuan. The Fourth Young Master praised you highly just now, which made me very much looking forward to meeting you."

Cao Yuan thought to himself, "As expected, it was indeed Han Yu who did this."

He looked at Madam Mingzhu, who was wearing a purple strapless top and a lace-trimmed skirt. The tight fishtail skirt stretched all the way to the ground, making her even more alluring and showing off her figure like a sea nymph.

"Madam is too kind; I am unworthy of such praise."

The smile on Lady Mingzhu's beautiful face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold expression as she said, "Are you saying that I was wrong?"

Cao Yuan thought to himself, "Women are indeed fickle. They were all smiling at me just now, but they turned their backs on me in the blink of an eye."

He didn't respond, nor could he. The other person was just looking for trouble, so he could only remain silent and observe the situation.

"Heh, not saying anything? Are you mute?"

Lady Mingzhu casually crossed her fair arms, cradling her large, monstrous member, and looked at Cao Yuan with a cold smile.

"I don't care what kind of talent or reputation you have outside. Here, you must listen to me. You must honestly say whatever I tell you to say, understand?"

Madam Mingzhu spoke very bluntly, deliberately putting pressure on Cao Yuan, hoping that Cao Yuan would lose his temper and jump out on his own, so that she would have an excuse to suppress him.

But she found that Cao Yuan seemed to be deaf, as if he hadn't heard her at all. He stood there calmly, letting her scold and beat him without saying a word, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, which annoyed her.

Slippery.

Madam Mingzhu cursed inwardly, but softened her tone and said, "I heard from the servants that you went to Consort Hu's place just now?"

Cao Yuan seemed to come to his senses at this moment.

"Yes, madam."

With so many people seeing it, it would be difficult for him to deny it.

Lady Mingzhu chuckled and said, "My younger sister rarely meets with officials in private, but I never expected her to suddenly want to see you today. It's quite strange. Could it be that you and my younger sister have some kind of relationship?"

This is a death trap... Cao Yuan instantly realized that Madam Mingzhu was setting a trap for him.

He smiled wryly and said, "Madam is joking. I have no relationship with Lady Hu."

"Don't be nervous, sir. Here, have a cup of tea."

Madam Mingzhu smiled and personally handed her a cup of tea.

Cao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took it and drank it all in one gulp.

With his now partially mastered immune system, poisons that are not capable of killing a grandmaster are basically ineffective against him.

He found it hard to believe that Madam Mingzhu's poison skills could reach such a level.

Even if it were possible, such a precious poison would not be used on him.

"Very good, very good..."

Lady Mingzhu clapped her hands lightly, looked at Cao Yuan with a flirtatious look in her eyes, and said with a charming smile, "From now on, you are my man, and I hope you understand."

Chapter 92 Tide Fairy, you're so sexy~

I don't understand you at all...

Facing Madam Mingzhu's expression of complete control, Cao Yuan muttered to himself.

Madam Mingzhu had indeed prepared poison for him.
