Chapter 3849: Ongoing (2)
The queen took a deep breath. “You… That’s enough. Get up!”
Princess Rao smiled with tears in her eyes. “Mother, would you like to help
The queen jabbed a finger in her forehead. “If I don’t help you, who am I going to help? Your brother?”
After that, the queen gave some instructions to her maid, who nodded and quickly walked away.
Princess Rao said, “Mother, you’re…”
The queen said, “Your father dotes on Concubine Mei these days. Let her go.” “Mother, that’s brilliant!” Princess Rao was over the moon.
As expected, after Lady Mei coaxed the king away, the study was empty.
Princess Rao finally let out a breath of relief and told her mother, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ve arranged for someone in the study to burn the memorials. As for Father… Mother, how about you let him stay sick for a few days?
“When that happens, my brother and Huyan Yichen won’t dare to disturb him, and the office head can only postpone the investigation indefinitely.”
The empress frowned. “Your father isn’t just anyone. I’m afraid that ordinary medicine…
Just then, Princess Rao took a potion out of her chest pocket and handed it to the queen.
The queen was confused. “What’s that?”
“It’s a Semi-divine potion,” said Princess Rao in a low voice. “Let him drink it, and he’ll…”
The queen didn’t like the idea, but Princess Rao kept persuading her and said, “My father is with Concubine Mei. Even if something happens, Concubine Mei will be the one to answer for it… So, Mother, what are you afraid of?”
The queen agreed. If she could get rid of Concubine Mei with this incident…
“But I’m the one who recommended Concubine Mei. She’s still useful. It’ll be such a shame to destroy her now.” The queen sounded reluctant.
Princess Rao smirked. “Mother, you’re too kind. Haven’t you noticed? Concubine Mei has been getting more and more disobedient in the past few months, and she’s been behaving like a spoiled child now and then.” The queen paled a little.
Princess Rao said, “You did recommend her to the king, but now that she’s earned my father’s favor, she doesn’t think it’s because of you anymore.
Mother, she’s disloyal.”
“Raoxi!” The queen’s voice was authoritative.
But Princess Rao wasn’t afraid.
“Mother, you have to prove that you can make her popular but can also tramp her to death. That way, she’ll be obedient. Otherwise, she’ll jump around even more and backfire on you. Can you accept that?”
The queen was lost in her thoughts.
Princess Rao was still trying to persuade her. “This is our best chance. Mother, we can kill two birds with one stone!”
The queen said, “I’ll think about it.”
Semi-divine potion aside, things didn’t go as smoothly as Princess Rao thought.
That was because…
The study was on fire!
Little Liu, the young eunuch, didn’t know what happened.
When His Majesty wasn’t around, he opened the door and snuck in to look for the memorial. However, he couldn’t find it after searching for a long time, and somehow, there was a fire all of a sudden.
He didn’t use any fire.
Why was the room on fire all of a sudden?
Little Liu was confused.
Apart from him, there was only one mosquito flying around…
To make it worse, when he tried to run, he realized that the door was locked. There was no way he could get away!
Gosh!
Little Liu thought he was going to lose his mind.
Flames quickly swept across the study, which was filled with flammable paper and wood…
