Chapter 469: Persuasion
"Does the emperor really think that this matter was done by his concubine?" She asked softly, not looking to care if she was slandered, but with a little girlish resentment, such a serious topic, when she said it to the emperor, it seemed to be flirting.
"I don't think you're like that. If you did it, there should be some compelling reason."
The emperor looked at her with deep eyes and replied smoothly.
Shen Ling sneered in his heart, feeling that he really thought of himself as an extremely naïve person, saying it so nicely, he couldn't even make a guarantee.
"Then it seems that the emperor really thinks of me as a person who is jealous of your harem," Shen Ling pursed his lips slightly and frowned, "I just want to be a couple with the emperor for the rest of my life, where am I the kind of person who is jealous of others?" Besides, there are so many people in this concubine, I don't have the heart to frame Concubine Mu at all."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to be a different person, and a few words ignited the emperor's ambition.
"But Your Majesty, you don't have to be sad that Concubine Mu's child has fallen, first, you and her are still young and can have many chances to have children. The second is ...... After the transformation of the dragon spirit, it can allow the emperor to reach the highest level, and it can also rejuvenate and prolong life."
A trace of cunning light flashed in her eyes, and after the tassel in her ear shook, she straightened up, sat down beside the emperor, and sighed like Landau, "When the emperor can't have any children, besides, it's best if you don't have children, you can always be the emperor, how good it is, don't worry that there will be people like the prince who seek power and usurp the throne."
Just a few words pierced the dirty things in the emperor's heart and grasped the emperor's mind.
He didn't really love the child, otherwise Concubine Mu wouldn't have been pregnant for so long and didn't go to visit her, and the reason why the emperor was angry today was nothing more than because the words of the high priest hit his heart.
Shen Ling's eyes gradually became cold in the place he couldn't see, but his tone was still smiling, seeing that he liked to listen to these words, he had the confidence to continue, "By the way, the emperor, the prince is full of luck, don't waste it just after he dies, you can sacrifice it to the dragon spirit."
Such shocking words, Shen Ling categorically couldn't say it before.
But when she thought of the dirty things the queen had done, she felt that it was a matter of course.
She wanted to put her to death, and this revenge was nothing.
"But really?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and stared at her in disbelief, as if he wanted to pierce her.
Shen Ling nodded, her hand kneading restlessly on the emperor's body like a water snake, as if reminding her to dissipate her anger, and added, "When did the concubine lie to you? The Prince's Grandson can accelerate the transformation of the Dragon Spirit, which is of great help."
She felt that at this time, she really looked like a demon concubine who had brought disaster to the country and the people, but she dared to guarantee that she would not harm the ordinary people of Xiang Caiguo.
As for these royal dignitaries? She really deserved to be trampled under her feet step by step.
Seeing that she was very sure, the emperor dispelled the doubts in his heart, nodded his head, and kept the matter in his heart.
He raised his hand, dragged Shen Ling up from the ground, and reassured, "Since it's not your fault, then don't kneel, get up and follow me."
The two returned to the main palace from the side hall, and Shen Ling could feel that everyone looked at them differently, and the queen's gaze was even naked, as if she had written her heart directly on her face.
Seeing that nothing happened to her, she was disappointed.
"Since Concubine Mu's miscarriage was an accident, then don't bother the queen, let's go back to the palace first. If you are not feeling well, you have to go to someone else's bedroom, and what you are doing is not right, Concubine Mu."
The emperor directly sent Concubine Mu and the queen away in a few words, and tried to turn the page.
"Your Majesty, don't put the cart before the horse and listen to other people's rumors! Concubine Mu's child is not in the Hua Concubine Palace, how can it be that she has a relationship with her?" The queen saw that the emperor's reaction was so bland, and she was a little anxious.
Shen Ling saw that the emperor wanted to speak and stopped, so he knew what he wanted to say, and handed the steps in time, "The emperor has already investigated clearly, and the child in Concubine Mu's belly is pregnant with the prince. The emperor didn't say it directly, he already saved some face for you, how can you pay it back now
Do you want to kick your nose in the face, and you won't let go?"
With the emperor's backing, Shen Ling's arrogance could not be hidden at all, pointing at the two, the queen's eyes opened wider, and she pointed at her nose for a long time, but she didn't scold.
"How do you have the face to frame the son of this palace!" The queen was so angry that she was about to hit her.
"Stop!" The emperor shouted angrily, provoking everyone like a quail, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing that they didn't react, the emperor pretended to be angry and said, "Concubine Mu, as a concubine, is so bold, it is already a crime of bullying the king, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, no one will be allowed to heal her, she will be locked up in the palace, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave."
Concubine Mu's face turned pale, her body was soft on the bed, and she watched as she was dragged away.
Within three days, the news came that Concubine Mu and the child were consumed alive.
The emperor was very satisfied when he heard the news, and thought of Shen Ling's words again, so he took the corpse with him and transported it to the imperial tomb in person in the name of "going to worship the ancestors".
In order to better absorb the aura under the imperial tomb, he also built a separate cave for him to recuperate the dragon spirit.
Sure enough, as Shen Ling said, the corpses of Concubine Mu's mother and son were sacrificed to the dragon spirit, and after finding that the dragon spirit was "absorbed", it really transformed faster, and the corpses of their mother and son could withstand ten private soldiers.
The emperor thought about it and went to Jingyang Hall that night.
Shen Ling saw that he was in a bright spring, and he couldn't even guess what he did today, but he didn't mention it directly, but was extremely attentive to her, serving her to dinner and accompanying her to play chess.
Shen Ling saw that he wanted to speak several times and stopped and was worried, but she didn't take the initiative to break it.
It wasn't until the emperor couldn't help it that he pretended to mention the matter unintentionally, and the joy under his eyebrows and eyes couldn't be concealed.
Probably he himself felt that it was a bit too much to sacrifice the blood of his concubine and his own flesh and blood to the dragon spirit, but on the one hand, his future cultivation and on the other hand, a few lives, so it seemed that it didn't matter.
"This was unexpected, if only things could continue to be as I thought they were." The emperor took a sip of wine, as if there was something in his words.
"The emperor said that he wants to be like this for a long time?" Shen Ling smiled lightly and hinted, "The emperor has many heirs, it is inevitable that some of them are not held on the tip of his heart, just like Concubine Mu, if you really want to continue the dragon spirit like this, it is not impossible."
Listening to Shen Ling's words, the emperor responded thoughtfully.
