Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Li Niang looked coldly at Ming Yuanhou lying on the bed, and felt happy in her heart.

"Oh. So you have come to this day."

Mingyuan Hou said in a hoarse and mournful voice, "Li Niang, if you are unwilling to help me, I can only let Zhao Er do it."

When Li Niang heard this, her expression finally relaxed a little.

"Where is Zhao'er now? What do you want her to do?"

Mingyuan Hou stared at Li Niang's eyes, and his eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

"Zhao'er is the emperor's Zhao Shuyi. The emperor's son killed my son, I want to avenge my son."

There was some disbelief and disappointment in Li Niang's eyes. "So you want to kill Zhao Er?"

Mingyuan Hou staggered to his feet, "It's not me who wants to kill Zhao'er, it's the dog emperor who wants me dead."

"If you don't take action, then I will take action myself, hehe."

"If this fails, we will all die. Including your Zhao Zhao."

Having said that, Mingyuan Hou suddenly grabbed Li Niang's wrist and held it tightly.

He pulled Li Niang closer, his eyes and tone full of temptation.

"But you are different, Li Niang."

"You are the only descendant of the Poison Saint. You can poison the Dog Emperor to death without anyone noticing."

"This way Zhao'er won't have to die. Once the dog emperor dies, I can take Zhao'er out of the palace. When the time comes, you can take Zhao'er away, and I will never stop you."

Li Niang's eyes trembled up and down, and she used her other hand to pry open Ming Yuanhou's fingers that were holding her one by one.

"Yang Hongwen! For Zhao'er, I will trust you once, but from now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."

When Mingyuan Hou heard Li Niang's words, he laughed strangely, "Okay, okay. As long as Li Niang is willing to help, I will naturally keep my promise."

"I will send someone to prepare it now. Li Niang, you must use the most poisonous poison to make sure the dog emperor dies."

Li Niang didn't say anything, but just looked at Ming Yuanhou deeply, then turned and left Ming Yuanhou's dormitory.

Marquis Mingyuan's eyes were dirty as he looked in the direction of the imperial palace and laughed sinisterly.

In the palace, the emperor had just coaxed Lin Shu to sleep.

Those noble families entered the palace noisily, each with an angry look on their face.

"Manager Zhao, we want to see His Majesty."

"His Majesty is already taking a lunch break. Would you like to take a rest in the side hall?"

At this time, someone raised his voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We request an audience!"

Lin Shu opened his eyes dazedly because of the noise, looking confused.

[Am I back in the dormitory? Is Ah Hua watching some palace movie again? ]

Lin Shu wiped his face with his little hands a few times and came to his senses.

She saw her father staring at the door with an impatient look on his face, but his hands kept patting her to comfort her.

When the emperor turned his head, he saw that there was no sleepiness in Lin Shu's eyes, and his dark eyes were staring at him intently.

The emperor frowned even more tightly, and said calmly to the outside: "Everyone come in."

When those people saw the emperor, they gave a perfunctory greeting with a hint of questioning in their tone.

"Your Majesty, you said that books would only be copied once, so why are there so many people selling books on the streets?"

"And they are all the scrolls from the bidding that day!"

The emperor sneered, "Why? Why do you say that? Do you want me to help you recall the past?"

"The prisoners in the dungeon haven't been interrogated yet."

"Would you like the ministers to go and interrogate us together?"

Those people still looked indignant.

"Oh, didn't I tell you who the prisoner was? So you gentlemen still forgot."

Having said this, the emperor's tone became even more stern, his eyes even colder, piercing straight at the people in front of him.

When several ministers heard the emperor's cold words, they suddenly came to their senses.

When he met the emperor's gaze again, cold sweat broke out on his back.

The emperor did not give them a chance to speak. "I'm afraid you have no memory of the people who caused chaos at the gate of the palace that day. Come, take a few ministers to the dungeon and let them recall it carefully."

They trembled in their hearts and wanted to refuse.

"Your Majesty, I have remembered. There is no need to go to the dungeon."

[Remember? If you really remember, how dare you talk to my father like that, humph. ]

[Daddy must teach them a lesson. It would be best if we could find a way to make an example of them and scare them so that they will be afraid and won’t dare to cause trouble for Daddy in the short term.]

After hearing Lin Shu's words, the emperor lowered his eyes. He never expected that his daughter would always think the same as he did.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "You all should go and help with the trial, and help me share my worries."

Lin Shu's eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

[I also want to go and see how Daddy tortures them. ]

The emperor gently scratched Lin Shu's nose.

He would not bring this girl to see it, so as not to pollute his precious daughter's eyes.

Those ministers were also taken away by the imperial guards.

Lin Shu was very disappointed that she could not go with them. She later heard that some of the ministers were frightened to the point of incontinence, while others took leave and stayed at home to recuperate for several days.

The atmosphere in the court has improved a lot.

The situation was calm for several days, but Lin Shu felt inexplicably uneasy.

[Isn't it a bit too quiet in the Marquis Mingyuan's Mansion recently? 】

The emperor, who was reviewing memorials at the side, heard the noise, lowered his head and smiled.

He had been on high alert the whole time, so there was no way he would give that guy a chance to poison him.

Just then, Zhao Shuyi asked for a meeting.

The emperor waved to Butler Zhao.

Manager Zhao nodded, went out and said to Zhao Shuyi, "Zhao Shuyi, please go back."

Zhao Shuyi knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and take care of my father. I heard that my father has been ill for a long time. I also heard that he might not survive these few days."

The emperor had indeed heard his servants report this matter, but he did not believe it in his heart.

Lin Shu curled his lips when he heard this.

[That old guy survived to the end in the original plot. How could he die so soon? I don’t know what tricks he is playing. ]

The emperor naturally believed his daughter and did not agree. Instead, he asked Manager Zhao to send the man back.

Not long after Zhao Shuyi left, the wet nurse came to feed Lin Shu.

Lin Shu felt dizzy and uncomfortable after just taking a sip.

[It's over, there's something wrong with this milk! ]

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, the wet nurse's body went limp and she fell down.

Fortunately, the emperor heard Lin Shu's thoughts and rushed to Lin Shu, taking him in his arms.

"Physician, call the doctor quickly."

The emperor felt a palpitation and his hands were shaking.

He took two steps back and sat on the couch, staring at the wet nurse who was lying on the ground.

In just a moment, the nanny's lips had turned purple and she was no longer breathing.

He didn't dare to look at Lin Shu in his arms. He could feel that Lin Shu's breath was getting weaker and his body temperature was slowly dropping.

"No, no," he muttered to himself.

"Bring the imperial physician here as quickly as possible. If anything happens to the princess, I want all of you to be buried with her!"

Everyone present shuddered, not daring to breathe. They had never seen an emperor so violent before.

The emperor's eyes were red and his face was pale. He pressed his cheek tightly against Lin Shu's forehead, and tears could be vaguely seen falling from the corners of his eyes.

After a while, the emperor forced himself to calm down.

"Come here, seal off the Imperial Palace and Yanjing, and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. Check them thoroughly, and take anyone with suspicious behavior to the Sky Prison."

After the emperor gave the order, he continued to coax the unconscious Lin Shu in a gentle voice as usual.

"Be good, Fubao, don't be afraid. Daddy is here. Daddy will definitely..."

At this point, the emperor suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Come here! Send someone to find Shen Xi from the Qihuang School."
