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

Xin Mansion.

Manager Zhao took out an exquisite small iron box from his sleeve. He slowly opened the box and saw a pill lying inside.

The elixir has a strong medicinal fragrance, which makes people feel more refreshed after smelling it.

Minister Xin was delighted when he saw the pill. He had waited for so long, and finally there was some progress.

This dog emperor finally took the bait!

Steward Zhao looked at Minister Xin's excited expression, sneered in his heart, but his face was full of flattery.

He closed the lid and stuffed the medicine box into Minister Xin's hands.

"Your Majesty said that Minister Xin has worked hard, so he specially gave this pill to Minister Xin, hoping that Minister Xin can also prolong his life and accompany Your Majesty for a few more years."

The excited Minister Xin seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and his expression froze for a moment.

It turned out that the dog emperor wanted him to try the medicine, but he was cautious. Although it would not be a big deal if he only took one pill.

But this pill is poisonous after all. I should not eat it if I can. I should refuse it for now. What if I don't need to test the medicine?

Thinking of this, Minister Xin pretended to be moved. He raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes and choked up.

"General Manager Zhao, how can this old minister be so worthy of such a title?"

"I am already old and frail. It would be a waste for me to receive this elixir."

Minister Xin said as he pushed the pill towards Chief Steward Zhao.

Chief Steward Zhao pushed back and said, "Sir Xin, His Majesty said you are worthy, so you are worthy. Don't let His Majesty down!"

"Please, sir."

Minister Xin saw that he couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

For a moment, he burst into tears and knelt down in the direction of the imperial palace to express his gratitude.

If Manager Zhao hadn't known his trick, he would have been fooled by him.

Manager Zhao quickly stepped forward and helped the man up.

"Lord Xin, I will convey your thoughts to His Majesty."

Minister Xin expressed his gratitude, gritted his teeth, opened the lid of the box, and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Dog Emperor, it’s just a pill, what’s the harm if I eat it in front of you!

When Manager Zhao saw that Minister Xin had swallowed the pill, he talked with him for a while and drank a few cups of tea before leaving.

Minister Xin watched Manager Zhao leave with such hatred in his heart.

He didn't expect the emperor to be so sinister. He was not at ease even letting him eat in front of him, and even asked Manager Zhao to stay with him for a while.

He wasn't even given the chance to spit it out immediately!

Minister Xin still did not give up at this time. He tried hard to pick his throat, trying to spit out as much as possible.

I kept comforting myself over and over in my heart, it’s just one pill, no big deal, no big deal.

Two more days passed.

In the Xin Mansion, Minister Xin looked at the hand-held ornament sent by Chief Steward Zhao and felt a little proud.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of giving these to this old minister?"

Chief Steward Zhao approached Minister Xin and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has taken the elixir these past two days, and he is indeed in much better spirits after taking it."

"Your Majesty knows that you like these exquisite hand-held ornaments, so he specially found them for you."

Minister Xin's eyes lit up and he couldn't stop smiling.

"As long as it's useful, it's good. I'm really happy for Your Majesty."

The dog emperor is so stupid! He is about to die in my hands, but he still wants to find out my preferences and send me things.

I wonder what would happen if he knew the truth before he died?

It’s funny to think about his expression at that time.

Minister Xin was just thinking about it in his heart, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

I was so excited that I almost laughed out loud.

Only after seeing off Manager Zhao did he burst into laughter.

It seems like everything is under control.

In the imperial study, the emperor listened to the young eunuch's report and smiled contemptuously.

"Alright, let Manager Zhao rest for a few days, and let the imperial physician take a look at him."

Lin Shu was originally sucking his fingers on the small bed. When he heard the young eunuch talking about elixirs, he suddenly lost his composure.

[Dad!!! How could you eat that? Woohoo, that would kill me.]

Lin Shu looked very disappointed with his friend and kept muttering to himself.

[It's been so long, why hasn't he given up on refining the elixir? Woohoo, when I can leave, I'm going to blow up the alchemy room.]

[I just hope my dad can live to that time. I don’t want to be a fatherless child.]

The emperor was so annoyed by Lin Shu's nagging that he just wanted his daughter to stop nagging.

He could only pretend to explain to Lin Shu while mumbling to himself.

"That old thing still wants to harm me, how could I be fooled?"

Hearing the emperor's mumbling, Lin Shu stopped shouting in his heart.

[Did Dad just want that old thing to eat? ]

The emperor turned his head slightly towards Lin Shu so that Lin Shu could see his disdainful expression.

"It's just letting you reap what you sow."

[I'm glad Daddy didn't fall for it. Daddy is too worrying.]

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Shu's summary speech, otherwise he would have been nagged to death by this girl.

He heard Lin Shu sigh softly.

Seeing Lin Shu feel relieved and pleased, he couldn't help laughing and moved closer to Lin Shu.

He kissed Lin Shu's little hand affectionately.

Lin Shu felt his palms itchy and couldn't help but chuckle.

The emperor didn't expect that Lin Shu's mind was still busy at this time.

[But it's really pitiful for Manager Zhao. He has sacrificed too much for his father.]

[However, the radioactive stone has been cut into smaller pieces, and the radiation level has also decreased. Short-term contact should not be a problem.]

Lin Shu was still a little worried, after all, Manager Zhao was quite nice to her.

The emperor's expression at this time was somewhat resentful. Why didn't his daughter worry more about him as a father and always think about other people?

The emperor instantly forgot that just a few moments ago he was still disliking his daughter's noise and now he was jealous.

Feeling sad, she pinched Lin Shu's little face.

Lin Shu didn't notice the emperor's mood at all and thought he was teasing her.

[Daddy is too clingy, he doesn't even review the memorials properly.]

[I have to work overtime at night, and I don’t get enough sleep every day. Will I die suddenly? ]

Lin Shu stretched out his little hands and patted the emperor's hands, urging the emperor to go to work.

Although the emperor knew that Lin Shu cared about him, he still felt cold in his heart.

He was rejected by his daughter.

The emperor returned to his seat, looking back every few steps. He sighed deeply before picking up the memorial to continue reviewing it.

After just a moment, the emperor saw that Lin Shu had fallen asleep.

There was tenderness in his eyes, and then he became firm.

"Daddy will not only live well and protect you, but he will also clear all obstacles for you."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked at the memorial written by Minister Xin with a sneer on his face.

"Soon, it will be over."

However, the next day, all the court officials learned about the elixir.

The aristocratic families, which had originally laid low, began to stir again.

Among them, there are also a few that remain stable and have not taken any action.

In the mansion, a middle-aged man sneered.

"What a bunch of idiots. Haven't they understood what happened before?"

"This might be another trap set by the emperor."

"The emperor did give away a pill, but did anyone see him eat it?"

"Maybe they are just trying to trick those fools and wait for them to make mistakes."

Everyone in the group agreed, and several said they would definitely not get involved in this matter.

The situation in the Xin Mansion was the opposite at this time. Everyone felt that the emperor's death was imminent.

The emperor has no children, but if things are managed properly, it seems that it is not impossible for him to achieve empire.

Several people in the Xin Mansion couldn't help but glance at Minister Xin's legs, and then each of them had their own thoughts.

This old man can't have children, so even if he becomes emperor, there will be no one to inherit his throne.

Is their chance coming?
