As soon as the top quality incense was placed into the incense burner, an extremely strong fragrance immediately spread out and filled the entire bedchamber. The sleeping Su Yu was still unaware that a conspiracy was approaching.
Jade Luan Palace, Main Hall.
"Your Highness, wouldn't this be too risky?" Imperial Consort Lu's head palace maid, Yulan, who was also her dowry maid, said with some worry.
Imperial Consort Lu looked at her long fingernails that she had just painted and smiled coldly, "Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with this consort. What are you afraid of?"
"Niang niang spent a lot of effort to get Yeyuan into Night Palace. If she dies like this, it would be a pity." Yulan was still worried. It wasn't easy to plant a chess piece, not to mention that whatever Yeyuan was about to do would result in her death. She couldn't help but feel a bit sad.
"Why would this consort bury a chess piece if it's not used?" Imperial Consort Lu glared at the good-for-nothing maidservant, "Go outside and listen. If there's any news, immediately report it."
After sending away the naggy Yulan, Imperial Consort Lu took a sip of tea and leisurely leaned against the chaise lounge, quietly waiting for good news. If she succeeded today, that fish seller would die without a burial place. If she failed, she would be able to get rid of that reckless maidservant. She might even be able to drag down the entire Marquis Of Changchun.
Two days ago, the palace was under martial law. Cen Cen had listened to her father and older brother's orders to send a gift back to Su Yu. However, she had been stopped by the guards on the palace road and had turned to leave. When she returned to Chunhua Palace, the eunuch beside her said that he had a way to send this thing out. Cen Cen, who didn't want to worry about this, didn't suspect anything and handed the wooden box to the eunuch.
After that, it was unknown whether or not the red sandalwood box that was sent to Night Palace was the one that originally belonged to Cen Cen.
Night Palace.
Yeyuan lit the agarwood incense and quietly retreated. She stood in the side hall's side room and waited for the fragrance to spread.
The agarwood had been poisoned. It was not easy for the palace to obtain a strong poison, so the Imperial Consort Lu did not dare to use it. This spice was not fatal, but it would make people sleep more deeply. What she needed to do was to take off her clothes and lie beside Su Yu while he was unconscious.
The spices were sent by Cen Cairen, the palace maids were personally selected by Yang Gonggong, and Yang Gonggong was appointed by Wang Gonggong. From start to finish, they had nothing to do with Imperial Consort Lu.
Ye Yuan clenched her slightly trembling hands. Her family's lives were in the hands of the Lu family. She had to do as Imperial Consort Lu said. According to Imperial Consort Lu's plan, if she wanted to kill Su Yu, she would have to sacrifice her life as well. No one wanted to die, and Yeyuan was no exception. However, this matter was a dead end. She only wanted to die a quick death.
This plan was flawless to Imperial Consort Lu, but to Yeyuan, it was full of loopholes. If Su Yu woke up and refused to admit anything and continued to investigate the agarwood incense, she would definitely be tortured and interrogated. Rather than that, she might as well …
Thus, she added another drug to the agarwood incense. As long as she could arouse Su Yu, something would really happen between them. When the time came, she would act as if she could not bear the humiliation and hit her head against a pillar to kill herself. Then, Su Yu would have no way to explain himself. Thinking of Su Yu's handsome face with a gentle smile, Ye Yuan gritted her teeth. It was worth it to die like this.
At this extremely dangerous moment, His Majesty the Emperor was enjoying the afternoon sun on the roof of the North Palace.
Summer had passed. Now, the sun was no longer scorching. Instead, it was warm. The golden kitten lazily lay on the golden glazed roof tiles, almost blending into the roof.
The warm sunlight baked the golden fur until it was soft and fluffy. The damp air in the palace was gone, leaving only the warm smell of the sun. The fur on his back was almost completely dried. His Majesty the Emperor turned over, revealing his belly that was covered in fine white fur. He swung his tail in satisfaction. The fur that was originally flattened slowly fluffed up under the sun. When the breeze blew, it swayed gently, just like a fine carpet. If Su Yu was here, even if he had to risk having his face scratched, he would definitely bury his face in it. As the saying goes, if one dies on a hairy belly, they would still be romantic even as a ghost.
His Majesty the Emperor was a little sleepy from the sun. He yawned and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky. The white clouds gathered into a ball, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. It reminded him of the roasted lobster he ate at noon. The lobster was one foot long. It was roasted by Su Yu until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He cut open the hard shell, sprinkled seasoning on it, and ordered the servants to leave. He tore it with his hands and ate it directly. He licked his claws. There was still the taste of seasoning on them. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly couldn't sleep.
He turned over and jumped onto the roof, standing with the statue of the beast in the center.
The statue of the beast in the center of the roof was used to ward off evil spirits. The roof of the North Palace was too high. No one could see the appearance of the statue of the beast on the roof. No one knew that this was actually the statue of the ancestor. He tilted his head and looked at the "ancestor" that was a size bigger than him. The golden statue was in a squatting position. Its face was deep as it looked into the distance.
He squatted down and looked into the distance. This was what every emperor of the Da An dynasty often did. He could feel the momentum of the ancestor beside the ancestor.
The golden glazed tiles were endless. The amber cat's eyes accurately found the roof of the Ye Xiao Palace. At noon, Su Yu asked His Majesty the Emperor for some sauce, saying that he should take him out to bask in the sun since the weather was so good. He naturally couldn't create a second emperor for Su Yu to play with. He could only say that he couldn't find one at the moment.
Well, he didn't know what that stupid slave was doing now …
His head was a little itchy. He rubbed his head on the body of the "ancestor". His Majesty the Emperor, who couldn't sleep, decided to go to the Ye Xiao Palace and let the stupid slave scratch his itch.
He walked along the ridge to the edge, lightly jumped onto the big tree next to the bedroom, shuttled back and forth between the trees, and easily jumped onto the roof of the West Palace.
No one knew that there was a secret passage between the North Pole Palace and the Night Cloud Palace. Between the ridges, there was a glass bridge that was as wide as a finger. As long as you were a cat, you could pass through it easily as if there was no one there.
His Majesty the Emperor jumped onto the roof of the main hall of the Ye Xiao Palace. He grabbed the roof tiles and wanted to take a look at Su Yu. However, the roof was so tight that his soft fur claws couldn't shake it at all. He had to give up, jump off the roof, and stick his head in through the window.
The bedroom was quiet. The curtains on the bed were gently closed. He could vaguely see Su Yu sleeping soundly. His Majesty the Emperor swung his tail and looked at the exposed white neck and the sleeping red lips. He licked the corner of his mouth.
Jumping into the bedroom, a white light flashed. His Majesty the Emperor, who was wearing a white wide-sleeved gown, appeared out of thin air. With a faint smile on his lips, he walked towards the bed.
The closer he got to the bed, the stronger the fragrance of the incense became. An Hong-chul's smile suddenly disappeared and he gradually frowned. "Achoo!"
The strong fragrance made the sensitive cat's nose very uncomfortable. "Achoo, achoo …" His Majesty the Emperor sneezed a few times, waking up the sleeping Su Yu.
"Oh, Your Majesty?" Su Yu was startled. She looked left and right. This was an empty hall. The door was locked from the inside. How did the Emperor get in?
"Achoo, damn it. What the hell did you light!" An Hong-chul was very angry. He flipped the incense burner on the small table and picked up the tea on the table to extinguish the burning incense.
Ye Yuan, who was hiding in the side room, heard the noise and came in. Her face immediately turned ashen.
In the Chunhua Palace, Cen Cairen didn't know that a great disaster was about to befall her.
On the palace road, who knew how many palace maids and eunuchs were waiting for the message.
In the Yu Luan Palace, Imperial Consort Lu was still looking forward to it.
A complicated palace fight had ended because of a cat's nose …
