Shen Dingzhu spread his lips slightly, with a smile on his face casually: "Then let me think about it carefully."
When Xiao Langyan saw this, he snorted coldly and let go of his hand: "The more I indulge you, the more arrogant you become."
He paused and whispered: "Move back. The king will leave Beijing in a few days and go to Jidu to supervise the progress of new water conservancy projects. He will be back in time before the end of the year. You can guard the yard."
Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but change his expression: "Your Highness is leaving? Just these two days?"
Xiao Langyan smiled instead: "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"
Shen Dingzhu was silent and quickly recalled the past life at this time. She remembered that the emperor was about to become seriously ill.
The emperor has been taking a medicine in private. The specific disease it treats is unknown. Some people say it is a yang medicine, while others say it is an elixir.
But after taking it for a long time, the poison became toxic just before New Year's Eve.
Shen Dingzhu's expression gradually became serious, and Xiao Langyan also put away the playful smile on his face.
She came back to her senses, grabbed Xiao Langyan's sleeve, and lowered her voice: "My lord, you must not leave the capital. Soon, the emperor will be poisoned due to taking banned drugs without permission."
"At that time, all the doctors in the palace will gather together to find a solution. However, the symptoms of poisoning are really complex, so the doctors plan to fight poison with poison. The antidote is aconite, which is full of poison."
"The emperor doesn't know how to drink it himself. He chose a son to drink this bowl of potentially fatal poison for him. The prince who finally dared to drink the medicine was Concubine Xian's ninth prince, Prince Ming."
The candlelight in the room was light, illuminating the profile of Xiao Langyan's face as deeply as a carving knife, and the dark clouds in his eyes were rising and falling.
Xiao Langyan stared at Shen Dingzhu: "What do you mean, let me test the medicine on my father's behalf?"
Shen Dingzhu nodded heavily: "I guarantee with my life that there will be nothing wrong with that bowl of antidote. Even if the prince is not poisoned, there will be no danger in drinking it."
"And those who drink it will definitely gain the emperor's absolute trust and favor. Not only will the prince not be able to leave, he will also rush to test the medicine."
In his previous life, Prince Ming won all the favor of the emperor because of this.
In addition to the personnel department and household department handed over to Xiao Langyan, the emperor gave the military department and the military power to command the three divisions to King Ming!
A prince with military power is no different from a prince.
It was precisely because of this that King Ming and Xiao Langyan later fought for the throne together, and the fight was fierce, with the power in the court reversed.
If Xiao Langyan hadn't been cruel, he would have poisoned the emperor first, tampered with the imperial edict, snatched him, and then killed King Ming after he ascended the throne.
The one who died was probably him.
The expression in Xiao Langyan's thin eyes changed, and he said quietly: "Shen Dingzhu, I only have this life."
Shen Dingzhu said in a solemn tone: "I know that if something happens to the prince, I will not be easy. Please trust me once."
She had never made any mistakes before, and this time, she was absolutely sure!
After a long while, Xiao Langyan stretched out his arm and said, "I'm going to change my clothes and go to bed. You can move back to the yard tomorrow."
Shen Dingzhu obediently took off her outer robe for him. Suddenly, he put his arms around her slim waist and held her in his arms.
Their postures fit together at a strange angle.
Shen Dingzhu was half-kneeling on the bed, so she was a little taller, while Xiao Langyan had his legs on the edge of the bed, so he was a little lower than her.
And she was forced to cling to his body. At this time, Xiao Langyan's cheek was almost panting in her heart.
Shen Dingzhu lowered his beautiful eyes, and the black and shimmering luster was mixed with a fawn-like panic and shyness.
"Prince?" She lowered her voice, and her delicate, white and innocent hands naturally rested on Xiao Langyan's shoulders.
Xiao Langyan gently raised one of her hands, placed it under his thin lips and kissed her fingertips.
This action was too sudden and too intimate, completely unlike the way they usually get along!
Shen Dingzhu's whole body felt numb for a moment.
Xiao Langyan raised his cold eyes slightly, his eyes were like moon scimitars, and he chuckled like a cold light.
"Shen Dingzhu, it's okay for me to test the medicine, but if I die, you will be buried with me and go to hell with me."
After all, Aconitum was a hundred times more poisonous, but he believed her words.
Hearing this, Shen Dingzhu's shy expression faded and turned serious. She nodded gently: "I'll accompany you."
Her red lips opened and closed, and the fragrance of her body came from her body, especially the thin inner clothes that were so close, and her smooth skin could be felt through the clothes.
Xiao Langyan's body was filled with ghostly fire, destroying his reason and awakening the true rage and bestiality in his body.
Suddenly, he lowered his head and bit Shen Dingzhu's fingertips hard.
She groaned in pain, and a cry that was worse than a broken flower escaped from her lips.
The next second, Xiao Langyan pushed her back onto the couch: "Remember what you said, you won't have to go back on it."
Shen Dingzhu covered her painful hand with tears streaming down her face, and the ends of her eyes were red.
She thought that Xiao Langyan would be in high spirits tonight.
But she didn't expect that he fell asleep after lying next to her for a while. His heavy and strong arms pressed against her abdomen, which was really hot and uncomfortable.
Shen Dingzhu pushed twice, but failed. He could only stare blankly at the top of the bed tent.
In fact, she concealed a fact and did not tell Xiao Langyan.
He was right not to go to Jidu to supervise the new water conservancy construction, because the officials responsible for the reconstruction of the dams were corrupt, and all the money for disaster relief was used for personal gain, and he was filial to the high official behind him, Ma Shangshu.
Therefore, the second year after the dike was built, a heavy rain destroyed the dike again, and this time thousands of people died.
The emperor was furious, and a wide range of officials were implicated, including Xiao Langyan, who was reprimanded.
Not only that, the emperor also demoted him to a fiefdom and was not allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of his life.
It was under such a situation that Xiao Langyan directly rebelled and launched a mutiny.
Shen Dingzhu doesn't talk about it now because no one in the entire Jin Kingdom knows more about water conservancy than her second brother.
Regarding dams, her second brother participated in the construction of Bailong Canal, Liumen Canal, and the Huaibei Grand Canal when he was an official in the court.
Since the newly built embankments in Jidu have hidden dangers, Shen Dingzhu plans to prevent problems with the embankments in advance, but that will have to wait until after the new year.
Take your time and your family will be saved.
She closed her eyes and comforted herself in her heart, and she fell asleep at some point.
When he woke up again, there was no one around him. Xiao Langyan had already gone to court, and the sun was bright outside.
Shen Dingzhu is now a concubine of the royal family. According to regulations, she can have two maids.
Therefore, Shen Bi was swept away from the front yard and transferred back to her side.
Shen Bi went inside to wait for her to wash up, and whispered: "Miss, Cheng Hui is still kneeling outside. The servant just came in and saw her wiping her tears. I heard from the eunuchs in the morning that when the prince left, he didn't even look at it. Give her a look."
Speaking of this, Shen Bi's eyes showed admiration for Shen Dingzhu, as if praising Shen Dingzhu's favor for being very stable.
Shen Dingzhu pressed her eyebrows helplessly. She had long eyebrows, plump and crimson cheeks, and a delicate aura of buds all over her body.
She said: "I don't have time to care about her. Please help me clean up the side room in the main courtyard first. I promised the prince to move back here."
However, as soon as the door opened, Cheng Hui hurriedly walked over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Master, this slave is wrong. This slave will never dare to behave without rules again."
She was so anxious that she burst into tears. It seemed that she had been punished severely.
Shen Dingzhu ignored him and simply said: "Get up and do whatever you need to do. Don't hang around with me."
She was about to walk forward when Cheng Hui suddenly hugged her leg.
"Master, I have something to show you. It was given to you by Concubine Xian." She cried, her eyes red, but she seemed eager to express her loyalty.
