Chapter 217 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with
"Xue'er," Xiao Mohan pressed Wei Xueying's shoulder and spoke to her solemnly, "I have come up with a plan so that you can leave the palace legitimately."
This time when I went to the palace, I brought a dose of the "Thousand-Day Intoxication" medicine. This medicine is colorless and odorless, and the effect after taking it is to fall into a deep sleep. It is most suitable for Xiao Jing'an.
Today is a good opportunity. Xiao Jing'an is in a good mood today and has drunk quite a bit. You can take this opportunity to get close to Xiao Jing'an and then slip the drug into his drink..."
This plan was quite bold, but Wei Xueying still had some concerns. She asked hesitantly, "But I can't get close to Xiao Jing'an at all right now. How can I put the drug in Xiao Jing'an's wine?"
Xiao Mohan comforted her, "Xue'er, don't be afraid. I've made all the arrangements. Just act according to the situation."
Once Xiao Jing'an has taken this Thousand-Day Intoxication, my plan will be more than halfway complete.
"Xiao Jing'an is still drunk and unconscious. The Great Yong Dynasty cannot be without a ruler for even a day. I have already contacted the royal family members. When the time comes, we can force him to abdicate!"
“But,” Wei Xueying asked again, “when the people in the palace investigate, won’t they trace it back to me?”
Moreover, I am currently only a lowly concubine in the palace, with little influence or ability to help you.
"Xue'er, don't worry, I will protect you. Besides, when Xiao Jing'an doesn't wake up, the palace will be in chaos and won't be able to take care of you."
Also, Xue'er, you are not someone I can do without; you are the most important person to me.
After the incident, the Empress has the Grand Secretary behind her, and Consort Han has the Empress Dowager and the Han family behind her. You can secretly side with Consort Shen.
"Consort Shen?" Wei Xueying asked warily. "Xiao Lang, how come you have contact with Consort Shen?"
Xiao Mohan was both amused and exasperated, and quickly explained, "Xue'er, what are you thinking! I have no contact with Consort Shen, but behind Consort Shen is Duke Jing, Shen Beicheng."
Having the support of the royal family is not enough; I also need military power. I have already planted a spy in Shen Beicheng's army. I will need you to secretly persuade Consort Shen to cooperate with us.
With Shen Beicheng's support, our chances of winning will be even greater.
The Jiang and Han families are nothing!
Once I ascend the throne, I'll be able to be with you, Xue'er, openly and honestly sooner..."
After hearing Xiao Mohan's plan, Su Jinyue could only say that it was wishful thinking.
Putting aside whether Wei Xueying can successfully drug Xiao Jing'an, Wei Xueying simply cannot persuade Shen Qiubai in his current state.
Shen Qiubai came from the apocalypse and has seen all sorts of conspiracies and tricks; Wei Xueying is no match for her.
If he couldn't reach an agreement with Shen Qiubai, Xiao Mohan would have no leverage to negotiate with Shen Beicheng. As for an undercover agent, Shen Beicheng had been in charge of the army for decades, and he couldn't find an undercover agent.
However, Su Jinyue remembered that in one storyline, the border garrison did suffer a major defeat when foreign enemies attacked, apparently because of internal strife within the army.
It seems we need to remind Xiao Jing'an that the border garrison needs to be better managed and internal destabilizing factors need to be eliminated.
As for the two people currently inside the house...
"Why are they all trying to drug Xiao Jing'an?"
Kongkong, you've swallowed several systems already. Are there any ready-made aphrodisiacs in those systems?
"Send some drugs to those two people in the room, to liven things up!"
Kongkong: [Of course! Host, these strategy systems have a system inventory full of random stuff, including quite a few aphrodisiacs. Take a look and see which one suits you...]
Su Jinyue looked at the list that Kongkong had compiled and thought, "Wow, these systems really know how to play games."
There are various types of aphrodisiacs, including ingestible powders, incense, and perfumes mixed with the powder.
Su Jinyue chose a perfume. The perfume was very small, like a laundry detergent pod.
It's wrapped in a transparent film. If you throw it into a room, the transparent film will quickly disappear, and the perfume will evaporate, taking effect rapidly.
As expected of products from the system, they are always of high quality!
It's an aphrodisiac, and a potent one at that, with rapid effects.
The two people inside the room quickly lost their senses and began to moan softly.
Su Jinyue wanted to look again, but her eyes were covered by a pair of large, warm hands.
Su Jinyue's vision went black for a moment, and then she was embraced in a warm chest. When she smelled the familiar scent, she knew that Xiao Jing'an had come.
She nestled in Xiao Jing'an's arms, looked up at him with a flattering smile.
“You naughty,” Xiao Jing’an tapped Su Jinyue’s nose and said, “I’ll settle the score with you later!”
As Xiao Jing'an was speaking, he heard some noises not far away, so he led Su Jinyue to hide in a more secluded corner.
The person who came was brought by Xiao Jing'an. He was a senior member of the royal family and usually didn't get along with Xiao Mohan. He despised Xiao Mohan's hypocritical appearance.
This man is a reckless and arrogant person who dares to provoke anyone, relying on his status as a member of the royal family.
Therefore, catching someone cheating, especially catching Xiao Mohan cheating, is the most suitable job for him.
Soon, this old clansman heard the noise inside the house. He was an old playboy and was all too familiar with this kind of sound.
This is the palace, and the person in this small room is definitely not the emperor!
Since it's not the emperor, it's wrong no matter who's inside.
This old playboy is quite clever; he sent his eunuch to fetch more people, because the more people who come, the more lively it will be, right?
Moreover, Xiao Jing'an had secretly brought people over, and the old playboy's intentions were exactly what he wanted.
The bigger the commotion, the more people will know, and the more passive Xiao Mohan will become.
The scandal was kept quiet and kept within the royal family. Family scandals should not be aired in public, so Xiao Jing'an had to swallow the bitter pill, while Xiao Mohan was unharmed.
Conversely, the more Xiao Mohan loses face, the more unreasonable he becomes. In this matter, Xiao Mohan is in the wrong, and whether Xiao Jing'an punishes him lightly or heavily, there will be a reason for it.
The old playboy quickly made a scene, and when he learned that the people inside were Xiao Mohan and Xiao Jing'an's concubines, he became even more smug.
Because he knew that Xiao Mohan was doomed, and the sin of causing chaos in the harem was no small matter.
The old playboy summoned many members of the royal family and ministers, making a great commotion. Soon, almost everyone at the banquet knew about it.
After watching the excitement with Su Jinyue, Xiao Jing'an quickly left.
Xiao Jing'an had to leave first, as the matter would be reported to him later, and he needed to wait in the main hall for the eunuch to come and report.
Sure enough, not long after Xiao Jing'an returned, someone rushed forward in a panic to report.
Whether the young eunuch was genuinely ignorant or had been specifically instructed to do so, he knelt in the main hall and recounted everything in one breath.
Upon hearing the eunuch's report, the hall quickly fell silent. The surroundings were quiet, and no one dared to utter a word or make a sound.
Xiao Jing'an felt very pleased, but his face remained solemn.
