Quick Wear: When a Delicate Beauty Becomes Cannon Fodder

The Little Princess in the Palace (45)

  Yunzhu's eyes suddenly became clear, and the dullness and distraction from a few seconds ago disappeared at all.

  Yue He moved quickly and held her breath immediately. She pulled Ruan Ruan behind her with one hand and waved her hand violently to try to disperse the powder.

  There was inescapable white powder all around, and Yunzhu did nothing but watch her struggle in vain.

  Part of the powder entered Yunzhu's body with her breathing. She coughed lightly and then slowly covered her mouth and nose.

  Ruan Ruan and Yue He were already weak at this moment and were almost about to faint completely.

  "The medicine powder is specially made, and the one on the ground is the only antidote." Yun Zhu glanced at the bowl of blood swallows that she had overturned, "I have advised you many times, but you just won't drink it..."

  She looked at Ruan Ruan who was trying hard not to fall asleep, even biting a bloody cut at the corner of her lip, and continued.

  "Get some sleep. Nothing will happen as long as you behave."

  Her voice became softer and softer, and gradually became inaudible.

  The string that had been taut for a long time finally loosened uncontrollably, and the two men lost consciousness one after another and fell to the ground.

  Yunzhu took out a letter that had been written long ago from her arms, walked to Ruan Ruan, and pulled off the jade pendant tied around her waist.

  Then put it on the table with the letter.

  She completely ignored Yue He who was also unconscious. When the two fell down, some of their limbs overlapped, so she moved Yue He away and only took Ruan Ruan away.

  ...

  In the tent, Rong Yan was holding a scroll of scriptures in his hand.

  He sat at the desk, his posture upright and straight, but his eyes were not fixed on the book, and he did not turn the page for a long time.

  When the tent door was opened, the sudden change in light and shadow dazzled his eyes.

  He raised his eyes, his expression did not change at all, "Your Majesty."

  Rong Yan didn't stand up, as his pestering had already made him a little annoyed.

  Furthermore, the intimacy he had witnessed time and again in the past few days had made him feel uneasy, and he really had no intention of putting on a show.  

  Qi Guanyu didn't care about Rong Yan's neglect of him. He walked in with a smile, pulled a chair and sat down.

  He deliberately got very close to Rong Yan.

  "I said I would come to see you again, Prime Minister. Did you remember? I am here to fulfill my promise."

  Rong Yan was about to say something but was interrupted by Qi Guanyu.

  "I know that the Prime Minister is going to refuse again, but I suddenly remembered that I haven't told the Prime Minister about my plan yet. Why don't you listen to it first before making a decision?" Qi Guanyu seemed a little nonchalant.

  Rong Yan did not comment. Since Qi Guanyu wanted to speak, let him speak.

  She was just reading the Buddhist scriptures in her hands, and was able to concentrate on reading because of his noise.

  Listening to him speak is not as attractive as the scripture in his hand.

  Qi Guanyu moved closer to Rong Yan and spoke slowly.

  "In fact, what I want to cooperate with you for is the court after the death of His Majesty. Naturally, there is no need for a prime minister in this matter of treason." He simply said the treasonous words.

  After a pause, he continued, "I have already found Qi Guanyao's weakness. Once I succeed in taking his life tomorrow, the whole world will belong to us."

  When Rong Yan heard the word "weak point", he clenched his knuckles.

  He said calmly, "Your Majesty, are you willing to share the world with me?"

  "Why not? I am a smart man. Even if I can deal with Qi Guanyao's forces by myself, it will only result in losses for both sides. I still have to rely on the Prime Minister for matters in the court."

  "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will reap the benefits?"

  Qi Guanyu smiled meaningfully, "Of course I'm not afraid, because... the Prime Minister has something more important to worry about."

  "Just like your majesty."
