"It's been five days." Taizong Huo stripped off his own outer shirt, and said indulgently: "Among the women in the harem, I only love you, fortunately, you have a few more days. You also quickly go to the side hall to take the night clothes to change, my beauty."

  Lin Wan's eyes twitched at the corner, this emperor's words are really... What "only loving you" and so on is fine, he has always been in the habit of deceiving little girls. But then came a sentence "beautiful woman"? Do you think this is flirting with a hair washer in the red light district?

  He shook his head and sighed, the hypocritical appearance and despicable nature of Tuoba Hong were indeed perfectly combined, seamless! He was indeed a scumbag.

  The diligent and responsible imperial concubine, Yu Qian, had already entered through the side door with a garment in her hands and knelt down before Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan accepted the garment but did not rush to change into it, instead she sat properly on the soft couch and said to Emperor Tuoba Hong: "Concubine thanks Your Majesty for your love and favor towards Concubine, however, one branch standing alone is not as good as the rain falling equally everywhere. Your Majesty has already favored Concubine for five days, tonight please allow Concubine to return."

  Tuoba Hong listened, stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Lin's waist: "I know that you are a virtuous and talented woman. But I really don't want to part with you..."

  Lin Wan's waist was tightly wrapped by him, her whole body stuck to the warm chest of the man, and she couldn't move at all. She lowered her head and silently looked at the light pink nightgown in front of her, the front of which had been changed to semi-transparent by herself, with a circle of white jade orchid embroidery added on top, just covering her chest. This kind of lingerie was very common in later generations, she simply copied it, but when Tuoba Hong saw it, he clapped his hands and praised it as wonderful, ordering her to wear this kind of nightgown to serve him from now on...

  Lin Wan is proud of her ability to hook men, but now she needs to think of a way to get rid of this one... She thought to herself as she yawned, this emperor is really troublesome, saying things like "can't bear to part with me", I think you want to play me.

  It wasn't until Lin Wei turned her gaze back to the nightgown that she suddenly felt a little stunned - the embroidery on the front placket seemed different from usual?

  En, the color has deepened... It's really strange. Lin Wan stretched out her hand to pick up the clothes and gently rubbed the embroidery with the ball of her thumb, only to feel a numbness on her fingertips. She withdrew her hand and took a look, and saw that the skin on the ball of her thumb had turned an abnormal crimson color.

  Lin Wan's heart coldly smiled, well, some people have played their tricks all the way to the Jiuzhou Qingyan... Unfortunately, she didn't understand medicine, and for a while, she couldn't figure out what was applied to this nightgown or what effect it would produce. The only thing that could be confirmed was that she'd better not wear this garment today.

  This guy is quite capable, Nine States Banquet is a place, how dare he put unclean things in his head. However... since it's a nightgown, the thing on top should only be useful for women, after all, when "exercising" later, Tuoba Hong will also get some, no concubine will harm the emperor husband together to fight for favor... Ah, no, what if that person wants to harm Tuoba Hong himself?

  If she really wore this dress and served Emperor Taizong of Northern Wei, the possible consequence would be that she and Emperor Taizong contracted the disease together... This is really cruel! It's actually trying to use the same trick as eight years ago to frame her, a noble princess!

  Eight years ago, when Emperor Taizong of Northern Wei first ascended to the throne, a shocking incident occurred in which Empress Gān was accused of poisoning the emperor and his wife. Although the emperor survived unscathed, the empress miscarried due to the poison. The matter was settled with the execution of Empress Gān's entire clan, but Emperor Taizong and Empress Dowager knew that King Mu of Northern Wei was involved in the plot. After this incident, Emperor Taizong became a typical sufferer of persecution mania (it seems that all ancient emperors had this problem).

  Lin Wan can imagine that if this man breaks out in a rash later, he will definitely drag himself out and tear himself to pieces before ordering the Ministry of Punishment to investigate clearly. This tactic is similar to that of Gan Shi in those years, using oneself as a human bomb to harm others and oneself. When encountering such things, Tuoba Hong thinks not of what palace struggle for favor, but of Mu Wu Wang, eleven kings, Wu Wang, and that group of treacherous officials, if he can use a woman's life to exchange for his own life, this deal is a huge profit for Mu Wu Wang.

  Lin Wan carefully thought through the situation in her mind - now there were two possibilities. The first was that this thing only worked on women, and the sole purpose of taking the medicine was to turn Lin Wan from a beauty into an ugly woman with acne, and if the medicine was potent enough, those pimples would never go away for the rest of her life, ruining her completely. The second possibility was that Lin Wan would be framed for treason, punished by being cut into pieces and having her entire clan exterminated, ending up more miserable than any woman before her.

  Of course, there is also a third possibility - that the person who applied the substance to the nightgown was indeed Mu Wu Wang's spy, and her goal was indeed Tuoba Hong's life.

  Lin Wan thought of this last possibility and started to tremble with fear, hurriedly rubbing her thumb again. This shouldn't be the highly toxic kind that causes blood coagulation, right? But she didn't have any symptoms like dizziness or blurred vision now, and her finger hadn't festered, it just had a rash...

  Hehe, hehehe, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

  Of course, during this time, Tuoba Hong beside her was not idle either. His unscrupulous hands had already slipped into Lin Yuan's inner garment and were slowly sliding down. Lin Yuan was thinking about things in her heart, but her face did not reveal her emotions, and she calmly allowed Tuoba Hong to grope her body as usual.

  Lin Wan's shoulders were exposed, and she grasped Tuoba Hong's hand, saying softly: "Your Majesty, you should stop now."

  "But I don't want to." Tuoba Hong kissed her forehead: "Just for tonight, okay? Tomorrow I'll listen to you, and we'll share the joys and sorrows together."

  "You said the same thing last night."

  "But today I won't go back on my word." Tuoba Hong reached out and lifted the hem of Lin Yuan's nightgown: "Come, hurry up and put it on. Such a beautiful garment is only fitting for our wonderful night together."

  Lin Wan smiled slightly, took the nightgown and threw it away, then struggled out of the man's arms. She quickly pulled up her disheveled outer garment, covering all the spring scenery without revealing a single thread. She faced Taizong and knelt upright, saying seriously: "I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill Your Majesty's wishes today. Although I have been favored many times, I have never become pregnant, which makes me feel guilty towards the imperial family's kindness. I also dare not monopolize Your Majesty's favor, unfairly disappointing my fellow sisters. If Your Majesty could bestow your favors on others, the harem would be able to produce heirs and continue the royal lineage... This is indeed a heavy responsibility for the imperial family..." She then bowed her head solemnly: "I beg Your Majesty to grant me this request; otherwise, even if I were to receive your favor tonight, my heart would still be filled with trepidation."

  In the blink of an eye, Lin Wan's eyes inadvertently glanced at the nightgown that had already been thrown out of her body, and the corner of her mouth slightly curved into a smile - what a pity for such a ruthless trap, but the solution was simple. In fact, from the moment she discovered that the color on the nightgown didn't match earlier, this situation had already been resolved. As long as she didn't wear this dress, and waited until after serving in bed to naturally order Chu Xue and others to clean up, nothing would have happened at today's Jiuzhou Qingyan Grand Hall.

  The only pity is that she can't find out the mastermind behind the scenes and make them pay the price they deserve. Once this matter is exposed, it will raise suspicions about Emperor Taizong's assassination, and anyone involved will not have a good ending. It's better to wrongly kill a thousand people than to let one go, or else she would be among those who are killed. Lin Yan slightly furrowed her brow, wondering if this person was clever or foolish. They must have used a lot of effort to tamper with the imperial concubine's clothes, and they had thought through their escape route well, calculating that even if the matter was exposed, Lin Yan wouldn't dare to investigate. The only flaw is that the web they wove wasn't dense enough, making it too easy for people to escape.

  No matter what, this thing was not done thoroughly in Lin Wan's eyes. It seems that she can at least rule out Xiang Fei - once that woman starts to set things up, there won't be any place where she hasn't been thorough.

  Lin Yu knelt on the ground for a long time before being helped up by a pair of warm, powerful hands. Emperor Taizong's face did not show any signs of annoyance at being rejected, but instead let out a sigh and said: "I never thought that you would be such a virtuous person... Well, if I were to keep you here, I would have become a foolish ruler." He then smiled and continued: "Indeed, my judgment was correct - you are very different from the Chu sisters."

  Lin Wan smiled: "How dare the concubine be mentioned in the same breath as Yunxiu Rong?" She raised her eyes to look out the window at the already dark sky and said: "The concubine should return to the palace early."

  Tuoba Hong nodded and said, "You don't have to rush off either. Give me a suggestion, who do you think I should summon tonight?"

  Lin Wan did not expect him to ask this, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "In my opinion, Bai Rong's beauty is unmatched, and she is also skilled in dance, she will surely delight the Emperor."

  Tuoba Hong smiled lazily: "You didn't get along with the White family in the past, but today you're actually speaking up for her."

  "Does the Emperor think that the concubines have lost their nature due to their virtues?" Lin Yu snorted, not avoiding the suspicious emperor's doubts at all: "It's just that the concubine saw the perfume pouch on the Emperor's waist, which seemed to be Bai Rongji's needlework. She privately thought that the Emperor had been quite fond of her recently, and mentioning her name was just to cater to the Emperor's taste. The Bai family has competed with me for favor in front of you before, if I were to put aside past grudges, it would be difficult."

  Tuoba Hong listened with a pleased expression, and casually plucked off the sachet and threw it to the side, saying: "Yuan'er has always been considerate of my thoughts. However, I have to give some favor to Bai Shi because of the situation." As he spoke, he leaned in close to Lin Yuan's ear, with a warm masculine breath, and chuckled softly: "Although Yuan'er is virtuous and kind, there's always a hint of jealousy about her."
