Qin Yu: ......
What did you feed them?
Although Qin Yu already had an answer in his heart, he still wanted Ming Li to say it herself.
Ming Li cast a casual glance at Qin Yu, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Good stuff. Do you want a bite too?"
Qin Yu: ......
Qin Yu silently refused.
Finally, Ming Li and Qin Yu quietly left the palace with the unconscious Lan Shi Yi, not a soul realizing they had been there.
Back at Prince Yu's manor, Qin Yu summoned all the hidden guards. His expression was cold. "What's going on?"
Lan Jiu stepped forward, head bowed, and said, "Reporting to the Consort, someone from the palace came today saying the Empress invited the Consort to the palace for flower viewing, so Shi Yi went. I didn't expect this to happen. It is our dereliction of duty. We are willing to accept punishment!"
Saying that, he knelt on one knee.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's face grew colder.
Brother Emperor... why would you do this? If Brother Emperor liked that woman, why did he bestow her upon me?
The heart of an emperor, indeed difficult to fathom.
At this moment, in the room.
Lan Shi Yi woke up and started to stir restlessly again.
The system within the space watched this scene and asked, "Host, what should we do now? I just scanned her. This little dark guard has been poisoned with top-grade Yichun Hong. She must find a man, otherwise, she will die."
Ming Li calmly took out a handful of silver needles from her space. "It's not that serious."
Saying that, Ming Li transformed into Empress Dowager Rong, and began to insert silver needles into Lan Shi Yi's body until her entire back was covered, turning her into a porcupine.
Midway, Lan Shi Yi was still restless, trying to get close to Ming Li, but she was directly acupoint-disabled by the indifferent Ming Li, rendering her unable to move.
The system in the space: ...... It seriously suspected that its host was committing murder, but it had no evidence.
Qin Yu opened the door and walked in, seeing Lan Shi Yi, who was turned into a hedgehog by silver needles, at a glance.
Qin Yu: ...... What are you doing?
Ming Li didn't even lift her head, continuing to insert needles, and faintly uttered two words, "Saving her."
Qin Yu: ...... Is this how you save people? You're not deceiving me, are you?!
Qin Yu had never seen such a method of saving someone. For a moment, he stood frozen, watching Ming Li still inserting needles into Lan Shi Yi, his brows deeply furrowed.
After a while.
Ming Li finally finished inserting the silver needles. She turned to look at Qin Yu and reminded him, "Do you want to go out for a bit?"
Qin Yu frowned and asked, "Why should this king go out? What do you want to do now?"
Ming Li didn't want to waste words with him and directly said, "Will you go out or not?"
Qin Yu: "This king's presence will not affect you."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li said no more, turned her head to look at the person with closed eyes, gathered an unknown power in her palm, and then fiercely patted Lan Shi Yi's body.
With a "whoosh!" sound, something flew past Qin Yu's ear, the wind it created ruffling his long hair.
Qin Yu looked over and saw the silver needles stuck in Lan Shi Yi's back all flying out, hitting the pillar not far away and turning it into a sieve. And at this moment, he was standing in front of that pillar.
Qin Yu swallowed, a bold word about to escape his lips, but meeting Ming Li's gaze, he swallowed it back down.
