Xu Boyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive this servant's disrespect first, then this servant dares to say it."
Oh! This appetite is so tantalizing! Emperor Wanli wished he could dig out Xu Boyi's heart and see what good ideas were inside. No wonder Emperor Wanli was so anxious. He was the Emperor. He had been the Emperor since he was ten years old. He lived in the palace and was raised by women and eunuchs.
This young Emperor, who was in puberty, did not know how to pursue a woman and how to please a woman. In this regard, he was a complete idiot.
Although he had a high IQ and was taught and trained by Zhang Juzheng and other assistant ministers since childhood, he was very mature and wise in handling state affairs. But when it came to women, he was completely at a loss and did not know how to pursue them.
"I forgive you, I forgive you! Tell me, what good idea do you have! "
Wanli was impatient and Xu Boyi said calmly, "Your Majesty, since Miss Xia's mother is now in the palace, this servant thinks that Your Majesty can ask Consort Chen for help and let Madam Xia stay in the palace tonight."
Wanli asked, "And then?"
Xu Boyi said, "Then, when night falls, Miss Xia must be very worried. At this time, Your Majesty will send this servant to her residence and say that her mother is suddenly seriously ill and needs to stay in the palace for treatment. Your Majesty, do you think Miss Xia is willing to enter the palace with this servant? "
Wanli said, "Mother is suddenly seriously ill, how can a daughter not worry about her? Of course, she will not hesitate to enter the palace with you!"
Xu Boyi clapped her hands and said, "That's it! Once Miss Xia enters the palace, hehe … She will not be able to escape even if she has wings! "
Emperor Wanli looked at Xu Boyi in confusion, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Boyi quickly stopped smiling and bowed, "It's not what this servant is going to do, but what Your Majesty should do. Your Majesty, this servant manages the Treasury of Treasures and found that the Treasury of the Inner Palace is really all-inclusive and has all kinds of strange things!
This servant found that there is a strange medicine in the Treasury of Treasures that is made into sandalwood incense. After being ignited, there will be a fragrant smell. Once people smell it, their limbs will become soft and weak. It also has the effect of stimulating lust … "
Emperor Wanli continued to look at Xu Boyi in confusion. Xu Boyi was anxious. The Emperor is such a smart person that he should be able to understand. I have already said it so clearly, why does he still not understand?
Xu Boyi said bluntly, "At that time, we can light this strange incense in the wind of the palace. When Miss Xia, Miss Xia will become soft and can only be controlled by others, Your Majesty, Xia Boyi. Xia Xia Ye. Xia Xia Boyi Li Wang," This servant, Emperor, I Xia to Xia, I Xia Emperor, Xia Xia Xia King Emperor. Xia.
Wan Li was delighted at first, but after thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "This … This Emperor is the Emperor. Doing this doesn't seem too appropriate, right?"
Xu Boyi said, "Your Majesty, under the heavens, there is no land that belongs to the Emperor. Those who lead the land are the Emperor's servants. Your Majesty likes Miss Xia, that is her good fortune. Once a woman gives her body to a man, most of them will be dead set on following him. Not to mention, Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. "
"Hmm …" Wanli slowly paced, his desire gradually overcame his reason.
Xu Boyi tiptoed behind him and continued to say, "If Your Majesty is not willing, Miss Xia will soon return to Guiyang. At that time, if Your Majesty wants to see her again, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Miss Xia has already reached the marriageable age. Once she leaves, it is hard to guarantee that she will not be betrothed to someone else. From then on … "
Wanli suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to say anymore. Just do it!"
Wanli hurriedly paced a few steps and said, "Zhen will go and talk to Imperial Consort Chen!"
Wanli hurriedly walked out of the main hall. Xu Boyi slowly straightened his back. The corners of his mouth revealed a smug grin.
… …
Everyone had their strong points. At least in terms of dealing with people, Old Niu was far more reliable than Ye Xiaotian's subordinates. Old Niu took the gold and went straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. On the way, he went to the 'Datong Gold and Silver Ware Shop' to exchange the gold for silver and two strings of coins.
Old Niu went to the Ministry of Rites and took out two strings of coins. He spent less than three hundred wen and bribed a secretary to help him find news about Miss Xia. The secretary told him that Miss Xia had not left the capital yet. Furthermore, the secretary was very considerate and wrote a small note to give to him. Since he took someone's money, he had to do things for them.
Old Niu repeatedly expressed his thanks and returned to the inn with the small note. This time, he was extravagant and hired a donkey to travel. When Old Niu returned to the inn happily and told Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian was wild with joy. He didn't expect that Yingying had not left the capital yet. He could see her now.
However, when Old Niu rushed back, it was already dusk. Xia Yingying lived in the west city, and Ye Xiaotian lived in the north city. If he rushed back now, it would be too late. The capital was not like other places. There was a curfew at night. With Ye Xiaotian's current sensitive identity, it was especially unsuitable for him to go out at night.
Since he already knew where Yingying was, Ye Xiaotian was not in a hurry to stay for one night. He decided to find her tomorrow. Now, he only took the money to invite the chef of the inn to prepare a sumptuous banquet and invited Uncle Niu to drink.
As the father and son drank, they talked about the various interesting things that happened to Ye Xiaotian since he was young in the Heavenly Prison. Their hearty laughter traveled far in the night …
…
Emperor Wanli excitedly rushed to the palace where Princess Chen lived. Madam Xia and Princess Chen were sitting on the couch and chatting. Seeing the Emperor arrive, Princess Chen and Madam Xia quickly got up to greet him. Emperor Wanli sat for a while and found an excuse to find Princess Chen in the side hall to discuss.
Princess Chen was very clear about Emperor Wanli's thoughts. Although Emperor Wanli never expressed it to her clearly, Princess Chen was an experienced person. How could she not understand? Moreover, she deliberately won over Madam Xia because of Emperor Wanli's instructions. Naturally, she understood the Emperor's thoughts.
Princess Chen was also very favored by the late Emperor and was the Imperial Noble Consort. Now, she could become the Princess Dowager. However, the late Emperor had passed away. Pleasing the Emperor now was very beneficial to her situation. Of course, she was happy to do it.
Hearing that Emperor Wanli asked her to keep Madam Xia, Princess Chen laughed in her heart. However, she naturally didn't dare to show a trace of ridicule on her face. The Emperor was young and thin-skinned. Why bother to annoy him?
Princess Chen quickly agreed and went back to the front hall again. She pulled Madam Xia to talk. Seeing that Princess Chen was in high spirits, Madam Xia couldn't take the initiative to say goodbye. She dragged it until the sun went down.
Seeing that the palace door was about to be locked, Madam Xia couldn't stand it anymore. She had to say to Princess Chen, "Princess Dowager, it's late. Can I leave first? If Princess Dowager is in the mood tomorrow, can I come back to accompany you?"
Old Princess Chen took a look outside and said with a smile, "Oh! It's so late. Madam Xia, I don't think you should go back tonight. Just stay in my palace. "
When Madam Xia was about to speak, Princess Chen had already turned her head and ordered the eunuch in charge of the palace, "Eunuch Luo, go to Madam Xia's place and tell Miss Yingying that Madam Xia will stay here tonight."
The Crown Prince and the adult princess could call themselves this because the Crown Prince had his own palace. The adult princess also had her own palace. The Empress, Empress Dowager, and imperial concubines with independent palaces could also call themselves this, provided that they had their own exclusive palace. Of course, Princess Dowager had her own independent palace, so she called herself this way.
Eunuch Luo acknowledged and left with a bow. He knew that Princess Chen instructed him to do this. He knew that it was just a show for Madam Xia. So, after leaving the hall, he stretched lazily and went to rest. He didn't leave the palace at all.
Seeing this, Madam Xia couldn't say goodbye anymore. She and Princess Chen were both women. It was okay to stay in her palace for one night. Princess Chen took Madam Xia's hand and said with a smile, "The food in the palace is very different from outside. You can try it tonight!"
Princess Chen took Madam Xia to have a banquet. At the same time, she sent her trusted maid to send a letter to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli had been waiting for a long time. He made two mistakes in the memorials, so he simply put them aside and waited for the news of Old Princess Chen.
Emperor Wanli sent a maid to send a letter to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli was overjoyed and immediately summoned Xu Boyi to see him. Xu Boyi had been waiting outside the Hall of Heavenly Worship. After a while, he rushed in.
Wanli said excitedly, "Little Bai, Princess Chen has kept Madam Xia. You should act according to the plan immediately."
When Xu Boyi heard this, he was even happier than Emperor Wanli who was about to be the "groom". Sending his enemy's woman into the arms of another man with his own hands was something that was second only to the pleasure of "flipping the saddle and mounting the horse".
Xu Boyi immediately agreed. But he was still worried and told the emperor which room he should stay in at night. The medicine incense could be lit early so that it could fill the entire front hall …
The emperor's bedroom was the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Only the emperor and the empress could live here, but the empress usually lived in another palace. Even if the emperor married a concubine, the concubine had to come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to serve the emperor. She had to leave at night. Unless the emperor gave special permission, she couldn't stay.
The back of the Palace of Heavenly Purity was a warm room. It was divided into nine rooms. Each room was divided into two floors, connected by stairs. Each room had three beds, either on the top or the bottom. There were a total of 27 beds. The emperor could choose which room and which bed to sleep in.
Even people who were familiar with the situation in the warm room couldn't figure out where he slept. This kind of setting was, of course, a safety precaution. So Xu Boyi had to make a deal with the emperor first. He didn't want to bring Xia Yingying here but couldn't find the emperor.
Emperor Wanli was in a hurry. An urgent patient had to meet a slow doctor like Xu Boyi. Wanli hurriedly made a deal with him and Xu Boyi turned to leave.
Revenge was tonight!
Xu Eunuch was excited and his footsteps were much lighter. Xu Eunuch quickly left the Palace of Heavenly Purity. As soon as he arrived at the Gate of Heavenly Purity, he saw the tall palace gate being closed with a rumbling sound. The huge bolt that could be used as a beam in a small house was lifted up by eight strong men.
Xu Eunuch hurriedly shouted, "Don't close the gate!"
"Bang!" The door was bolted, and a huge copper lock was forcefully locked by two strong men with a "kacha" sound. At this time, the general guarding the palace gate turned around. He squinted his eyes and recognized that it was Eunuch Yu, the emperor's favorite.
The imperial bodyguard cupped his hands and smiled, "Eunuch Yu, what can I do for you?"
