"I……"
The empress opened her red lips and was about to open her mouth to defend herself when a look of shame and anger flashed across Lin Maner's cheeks.
"Your Majesty, you are going too far! Even though I promised to help you... take a breath, you can't use your energy and blood to make it bigger than others, right?"
"People like you will feel inferior..."
! ? ?
The empress immediately felt a chill in her heart.
What on earth did Xiao Dongzi, this bastard, do to my queen! ?
"Ahem, um... Queen, I'm not very interested today, how about we do it next time?"
“Your Majesty~~”
Lin Man'er's cheeks showed the attitude of a little daughter. She pouted her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down on her knees between the empress' legs.
Just when the empress thought that Lin Man'er was going to apologize to her, she suddenly felt a jade hand reaching out to her...
next moment,
The empress and Lin Man'er stared at each other with wide beautiful eyes. An inexplicable awkward atmosphere quickly spread throughout the side hall.
"Your Majesty, what's going on with your family?! You - you didn't commit suicide with a knife, did you?"
"What can't you think of that makes it worth treating yourself so cruelly..."
Lin Man'er said, her eyes already covered with mist.
Xiaodongzi, I’m not done with you! ! !
The empress' mentality was almost broken. The only remaining sanity left was trying her best to tell her that now was not the time to expose herself.
"I...hehe."
The empress forced a smile and said:
"Now that you already know, I don't plan to hide it from you anymore."
"I paid such a price in order to practice a peerless skill, so..."
Hearing this, Lin Maner's eyes lit up slightly.
"Your Majesty, what you practice is the peerless skill that I told others before - the Sunflower Technique?"
"If this technique can really allow your majesty to break through the day after tomorrow, it will not be a loss. But... if the child in the slave's belly is a girl, what will your majesty do?"
"And... what will happen to the slave family in the future?"
Lin Man'er's words were full of resentment, but when this voice reached the empress's ears, she felt goosebumps all over her body.
Hu Meizi is just Hu Meizi, born with a seductive skin.
But in this situation, it is better to win her over than to push her completely towards Lin Chunqiu. Besides, it can also make Xiao Dongzi become more devoted to me.
Thinking of this, she could only comfort her patiently:
"Actually... Queen, you don't have to worry so much. When I practice my skills to perfection, I will naturally be able to regain my male body."
When Lin Man'er heard this, her face suddenly beamed with joy.
"Then your Majesty... you have to work hard! Recently, I have made great breakthroughs in ventriloquism. It's a pity..."
She hesitated to speak and glanced at the empress's legs unconsciously.
The empress looked cold and said coldly:
"That's all, if you want to go back, go back first. I will arrange for Xiaodongzi to contact you at the appropriate time."
"You are my queen after all. If you want to save your mother, how can I just stand by and watch?"
"Your Majesty...you are so kind!"
Lin Man'er looked at the empress, gently clasping her legs, her beautiful eyes almost blurred.
But in the end, she still suppressed the desire in her heart, took a deep look at the empress, turned around and walked out of the side hall.
Outside the side hall, a group of guards surrounded Lin Maner.
They looked nervously into the side hall, fearing that something might happen to their Majesty.
"Let the Queen leave."
In the side hall, the empress' calm voice sounded.
"But……"
Qingniao opened his mouth and was about to persuade, but was interrupted by the empress' calm voice.
"Why, I can't order you to move now?"
"No, no."
Qingniao immediately lowered his head, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Your Majesty clearly hated Lin Man'er so much before and kept calling her a witch, why did you suddenly let her go now?
Although she was doubtful, she still watched Lin Maner go away.
After Lin Man'er left, she reported:
"Your Majesty, Princess Qingyang has been kidnapped. My subordinates suspect that it may have been done by Concubine Xiang."
"Xiang Fei??"
The empress frowned slightly, and her mind quickly searched for information related to Xiang Fei.
Xiang Fei entered the palace much earlier than most concubines. Even she didn't know exactly when Xiang Fei entered the palace.
However, since she replaced her brother and became the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this Xiang Fei has been extremely honest.
This fragrant concubine only spent the whole day eating and chanting Buddha in Kangning Palace, and kept everything simple.
It is not an exaggeration at all to say that she never leaves the front door or steps forward.
But such a concubine with almost no sense of presence actually kidnapped Princess Qingyang? ?
What exactly is going on! ?
"Qingniao, why do you suspect that Princess Qingyang was kidnapped by Concubine Xiang? Is there any evidence?"
The blue bird pondered for a moment and then said:
"Your Majesty, I have kept the entire palace's defense and patrols in mind. But the news of Princess Qingyang's disappearance has just come."
"It's only been a stick of incense since the last guard patrol. And those who can kidnap and take away Princess Qingyang in such a short period of time are only limited to a few palaces in the harem."
"Kangning Palace happens to be one of them. What's even more coincidental is that among these palaces, only Kangning Palace is empty, and not even a eunuch is left."
"What a beautiful concubine, I underestimated her!"
"But...why did she kidnap Qingyang? Isn't she afraid..."
"That's all, send someone to the Lin Mansion immediately and tell Xiao Dongzi about Qingyang."
"I obey my orders!"
The blue bird bowed slightly, turned around and left quickly.
…
Outside the palace,
In a remote private house.
Zhao Xiangling rubbed her red and swollen cheeks, and a look of disbelief appeared on her beautiful cheeks.
"How can this be??"
"This saint's face was actually swollen when she was slapped by the same window!?"
"If this matter spreads out, what dignity will this saint have? This saint, a master in the realm of martial arts, actually, actually..."
"Lady Saint, please stop feeling sorry for yourself. Compared to us, you are already much happier!"
Protector Gao pointed to his bloody arm and said with a hint of crying in his voice:
"Holy girl, this is nothing to you. Look at my arm, it was bitten like this by more than a dozen wild dogs! It's a good thing I escaped quickly, otherwise I might have been buried in the dog's belly... "
The low protector limped forward, as if all his strength had been exhausted. He opened his mouth, weakly shook his arm and said:
"Like my brother, I was bitten by a dog. But...my brother was bitten on his left arm, and I was bitten on my right arm."
"You two... are really unlucky."
Zhao Xiangling said with lingering fear.
