Chapter 209 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with
But Su Jinyue and the Empress are both Xiao Jing'an's women. One is someone Xiao Jing'an values, and the other is the head of the harem. He can't afford to offend either of them, so he simply decided to wait and see.
However, the current situation is that Su Jinyue is going against the Empress. Su Jinyue is even using the Emperor's name to oppose the Empress, and Xiao Jing'an has not refuted her.
This is the Qianqing Palace. If the Empress's people are killing and beating people with impunity in the Qianqing Palace, then Li Derang cannot tolerate it.
Li Derang quickly led the guards and eunuchs forward, stopped the Empress's people, stood to Xiao Jing'an's side, and bowed to Jiang Lingyao in return.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This lady serves His Majesty in the Qianqing Palace. His Majesty must decide whether she stays or leaves."
Besides, it wouldn't look good for you to be fighting and killing with your men in the Qianqing Palace, would it?
"Why don't you have a proper talk with His Majesty? We should prioritize peace..."
With Li Derang backing her up, Su Jinyue became smug and said triumphantly.
"That's right! His Majesty is still here, how dare you, an old woman, be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty?"
"Have you been Empress for so long that you no longer respect His Majesty?"
Su Jinyue blatantly tried to sow discord between Jiang Lingyao and Xiao Jing'an. She nestled in Xiao Jing'an's arms, her soft, boneless hands grabbing his collar, and she flirted with him with seductive eyes.
"Your Majesty, please do justice for me! I haven't even entered the harem yet, and the Empress wants to beat me to death."
If I really end up in the harem, what chance do I have of surviving?
Your Majesty, you are all I have left, please have mercy on me…
The only sound in the entire hall was Su Jinyue's affected and pretentious voice, which left Jiang Lingyao speechless with anger.
Although it seems that this bitch has the upper hand now, Jiang Lingyao still has the system as her trump card.
"System, is the 'Fox Demon's Allure' item still effective? At this time, is Xiao Jing'an attracted to me and can I control him?"
Empress Dowager Development System: [Beep beep, the item 'Fox Demon's Charm' is still in effect.]
During the use of the item, the person controlled by it will involuntarily increase their affinity for the host and has a certain chance of obeying the host's commands.
Su Jinyue's eyes flashed; she almost forgot she still needed to deal with Jiang Lingyao's system.
"Kongkong, how's your research on this Empress Dowager Development System going? Can you absorb it directly now?"
Kongkong: [I've already infiltrated the system and studied it. After it bound to Jiang Lingyao, its energy wasn't replenished much, so it's easy to handle.]
Give me just a little more time, and I can swallow it without anyone noticing.
"That's good. Kongkong, be careful not to get hurt."
Kongkong: [Don't worry, host, it's just a small system. I won't get hurt.]
Jiang Lingyao received a positive response from her own system, and she was very confident in her system, so she spoke with great confidence.
"Your Majesty, this woman of unknown origin acts recklessly, bullies others by abusing her power, and knows absolutely nothing about the rules of the palace."
"It would be better to entrust her to my care for now, and once she has learned the proper etiquette, she can then serve Your Majesty."
Su Jinyue thought to herself, "Give it to Jiang Lingyao? Then I probably won't survive."
Just as Su Jinyue was about to retort, Xiao Jing'an stopped her first.
Xiao Jing'an struggled to control his mind, which was about to be consumed by desire, and tried his best to keep his eyes clear. He looked up and asked Jiang Lingyao in a seemingly normal manner.
"Give it to you? I only saw the Empress ignore my presence and want to have her beaten to death! Jiang Lingyao, you are the Empress, you should act with magnanimity, don't be a jealous woman!"
Jiang Lingyao was shocked; Xiao Jing'an's evaluation was fatal to her!
Fortunately, there was no one else here. If others found out and it got out, it would be terrible for her reputation.
But didn't the system say that Xiao Jing'an would develop feelings for her after using the item? Why would it say such harsh things to her?
Xiao Jing'an didn't want to listen to Jiang Lingyao's rebuttal. He spoke up just to end his entanglement with Jiang Lingyao as soon as possible, because his body was about to give out.
Xiao Jing'an pressed one hand to his forehead, closed his eyes, and stopped listening to what Jiang Lingyao was saying. He then directly gave instructions to Li Derang.
"Li Derang, I am not feeling well right now and would like to rest for a while. Please escort the Empress back properly; I cannot tolerate any noise right now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With Xiao Jing'an's order, Li Derang felt reassured; the Empress's influence was still inferior to that of Consort Su.
Li Derang walked up to the Empress and stopped Jiang Lingyao from trying to pull him away and continue harassing Xiao Jing'an.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered me to escort you back to the palace. His Majesty cannot tolerate any noise at the moment, so please be quiet so as not to disturb His Majesty's health."
Seeing that the matter was already settled, Jiang Lingyao's efforts had only resulted in this little bitch reaping the rewards. Jiang Lingyao was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.
He had no choice but to be sent back to his palace by Li De, who pretended to be guarding him.
After Jiang Lingyao and the others left, only Xiao Jing'an and Su Jinyue remained in Qianqing Palace. Su Jinyue finally stopped acting.
She breathed a sigh of relief and tried to get out of Xiao Jing'an's arms, but after struggling for a long time, she could not break free from Xiao Jing'an's hold on her.
"Xiao Jing'an, everything's alright now, let me go..."
Su Jinyue spoke helplessly, but Xiao Jing'an not only didn't let go, he hugged her even tighter.
Not only that, Xiao Jing'an buried his head in Su Jinyue's neck, and the hot breath he exhaled from his mouth and nose almost scorched Su Jinyue's fair skin.
Moreover, Xiao Jing'an's hands began to wander, groping all over Su Jinyue's body. He even instinctively slipped through the gap in her clothes at the waist and rubbed Su Jinyue's smooth, soft flesh.
Su Jinyue was too busy taking care of herself to stop Xiao Jing'an's 'attack' on her.
"Kongkong, Xiao Jing'an has been drugged. Check if Jiang Lingyao's system has an antidote. If so, steal it and use it to cure Xiao Jing'an."
Kongkong: […Host, there is no antidote for this aphrodisiac.]
I checked, and the medicine Jiang Lingyao's system prescribed was a simple aphrodisiac. It was a bit strong, but it was harmless to the body and had no side effects.
Anyway, Xiao Jing'an is your man. If you two sleep together, why not just neutralize the drug?
"..." Su Jinyue was speechless. Why did she always encounter this kind of thing and have to be used as an antidote again?
However, seeing Xiao Jing'an's brain already eroded by the drug and unable to think rationally, Su Jinyue felt a little reluctant.
Let it be an antidote, anyway, she benefited from it in the end.
Once Su Jinyue understood, she put her arm around Xiao Jing'an's neck and whispered in his ear.
"Xiao Jing'an, shall we continue in the palace?"
