The emperor was on the rise, and when he heard Si Yuanqiong ask, he replied without thinking: "That's natural, as long as I can give it to you, you just have to open your mouth, this is a reward for meritorious deeds, I am not such a stingy and untrustworthy person, this promise is valid and will not be changed." ”

Si Yuanqiong half-lowered her head, her expression became more and more unpredictable, if he said that he wanted the throne, would the emperor be willing to give it?

But it doesn't matter if the emperor is willing to give it or not, what he Si Yuanqiong wants, whether it is Bai Weiying or the dragon chair, he will get it, if anyone dares to block his way, it is looking for death.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Si Yuanqiong said to Jiu Shang again: "In this case, you stay in the palace, Your Majesty will definitely not treat you badly, you have to serve Your Majesty well, everything must be carried out step by step, and you must not be in a hurry and spoil Your Majesty's affairs." ”

There was a mystery hidden in Si Yuanqiong's words, and he was also reminding Jiu Shang to present another pill to the emperor at the right time.

Jiushang smiled knowingly and responded: "Poor Dao will definitely not live up to the trust of the prince and His Majesty." ”

Si Yuanqiong proposed to the emperor to retire at this time, and the emperor did not keep much, and at this moment, the emperor was already attracted by Jiushang's elixir.

At the moment when Si Yuanqiong stepped out of the temple door, he was keenly aware of the surging flow of people hidden in the shadows, Si Yuanqiong's face was not obvious, as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward.

The people who planted the dark line in this palace are not only Si Yuanqiong alone, but also Si Huazhen, the king of Jingping, who brought Jiushang into the palace with such fanfare today, and he didn't plan to hide it from Si Huazhen.

He just wants to put things in the open, so that Si Huazhen has no way to start, otherwise, he can take Jiushang into the palace to face the saint when the wind is high in the dark and wind, and that method will also work, he can take advantage of the situation to make a false move in front of Si Huazhen, so that Si Huazhen mistakenly thinks that he is doing something unsightly for the emperor.

Merely......

It's a lot less fun.

Si Yuanqiong's move was to demonstrate against Si Huazhen in a grand place, with the emperor's promise, no matter how Si Huazhen obstructed it, he could only watch his most beloved woman become the princess of King Huai'an.

"Si Huazhen, this king is looking forward to your reaction." Si Yuanqiong muttered in a low voice, but it revealed infinite coldness.

On the other side, after listening to the secret guard's reply, Si Huazhen fell into deep thought, and Liufeng saw that Si Huazhen was silent, and said: "Lord Wang, this King of Huai'an must have a ghost in his heart, we must remove that warlock from His Majesty!" ”

Si Huazhen shook his head slowly, and said: "No, since the king of Huai'an dares to act so blatantly, he is not afraid that we will find out, and if he is not afraid that this deed will be revealed, then he has a complete countermeasure, if we act rashly, I am afraid that it will cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction and many disasters." ”

According to the analysis of the news of the secret guard, the emperor was very satisfied with the warlock Jiushang brought into the palace by Si Yuanqiong, if they went to sweep the emperor's prosperity at this juncture, the final result would definitely be to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, falling into Si Yuanqiong's trap.

"Then you are planning to ......" Liufeng was a little unsure of Si Huazhen's thoughts, and asked tentatively.

"Don't startle the snake first, send a message to Li Yanran, let her have the chance, steal the pill refined by the warlock, and then make further plans." Si Huazhen commanded in a deep voice, no matter what, he still has to get this elixir, if Si Yuanqiong dares to do something rebellious, he will never tolerate it.

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Liufeng sent back the news to the secret pile in the palace, and after Li Yanran was entrusted by the informant appointed by Si Huazhen, she was a little careful.

That night, Li Yanran did not inform the emperor in advance, so she appeared at the door of the imperial study with the support of Songzhi.

When the emperor heard Li Yanran's voice outside the door, he hurriedly signaled Jiushang to find a place to hide first, and after Jiushang hid, the emperor raised his voice and said: "Since the concubine is here, then hurry in, save yourself from freezing." ”

The lights in the imperial study were a little dim, and Li Yanran noticed that where she couldn't see, a cold gaze like a poisonous snake was following her closely.

Li Yanran looked around the room, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here, is it disturbing you to deal with the twists and turns?" Why is the light in this hall so dim, Ning Hai, how did you serve Your Majesty, you are so slack, if you burn Your Majesty's eyes, how can you get it? ”

Ning Hai was subjected to Li Yanran's groundless accusation, and he even had a feeling of being speechless, he wanted to enter the imperial study, but the emperor was talking to Jiushang, how could he dare to disturb easily.

Ning Hai only felt that he wanted to add to the crime, so he knelt down and asked for the guilt as if he was fated: "It's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's negligence, and I also ask Niangniang, Your Majesty forgive me." ”

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Concubine Ai, I know that you care about me, but this is almost over, so you don't need to light the lamp, so you don't need to save trouble." ”

When the emperor spoke, his eyes flickered, and he still didn't dare to look directly into Li Yanran's eyes, Li Yanran's eyes turned a few times, and retorted: "How can this be troublesome? It's just a convenient thing, if Your Majesty is troublesome, then the concubine will go and light the lamp for Your Majesty. ”

Li Yanran said, he was about to light the wick of the candle that had been extinguished, the emperor was afraid that all the lights in the hall would be turned on, or Li Yanran would find something when he was lighting the lamp, when he held Li Yanran's hand and said: "Let's go, you sit here and rest, it's cold outside, and it's not easy for you to come over." ”

"Okay." Li Yanran sat in the chair, searching for suspicious things without a trace, and when she saw a white porcelain vase placed on the emperor's bookcase, Li Yanran's eyes flashed.

At that time, the emperor was taking the candle in Ning Hai's hand and going to light the extinguished lamp, Li Yanran quickly put the porcelain bottle into his sleeve, and after pouring one of the pills into the palm of his hand, he put the porcelain bottle back to its original place.

After symbolically lighting a few lights, the emperor was about to turn around, only to find Li Yanran sitting behind the bookcase.

"Aifei, you ......" The emperor wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to let Li Yanran get up from the chair and sit elsewhere, but he didn't know how to open his mouth so as not to arouse Li Yanran's suspicion.

"Huh? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Such a bad face? Is there something uncomfortable? Li Yanran naturally saw the emperor's abnormality, she deliberately paused for a moment, and then pretended to care about the emperor and walked quickly to the emperor.
