I insist

Chapter 363: Tricked in return

But just as Song Miqiu took the porcelain in her hands, the Seventh Prince changed his mind.

"No, I can't go and settle accounts with Consort Li right now. Before I came here, the Empress Dowager repeatedly told me that this sacrificial ceremony was very important. If I am discovered, the Empress Dowager will not come to save me."

Song Miqiu never expected this, and with a shrug, she automatically put the porcelain down.

While the Seventh Prince was still thinking, she slowly left along the edge of the tent.

At this time, the Seventh Prince had not yet noticed anything unusual.

Song Miqiu was even smarter; as soon as she left the tent, she went to the system and put on the old woman's human skin mask.

That is to say, they fooled the Seventh Prince. If anyone in the palace had caught them and reported it to the Emperor, it would have been a capital offense.

How could ordinary people be allowed to infiltrate and disrupt the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven?

To avoid arousing suspicion, she took off her outermost layer of clothing, which made everything perfect.

Song Miqiu was trying to figure out her direction; she didn't even know that the Seventh Prince had come along with her.

Just then, the seventh prince suddenly rushed out of the tent.

As soon as the door opened, Song Miqiu was seen.

The Seventh Prince's expression immediately softened.

"Imperial Physician, what are you doing here? You've come too?"

Compared to the ruthless Seventh Prince just now, Song Miqiu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Oh, I got lost. Oh, so this is the Seventh Prince's place. I'll head back then."

Song Miqiu had no choice but to find an excuse to leave.

But the Seventh Prince had a lot to say to Song Miqiu.

"Imperial Physician, I have some news about Consort Li. I wonder if you would have time to come into the tent and talk about it?"

Unaware of the Seventh Prince's intentions, Song Miqiu decided to take a chance and try her luck.

It would be good to deal with Consort Li first.

"Of course I have time."

After saying that, she followed the Seventh Prince into the tent.

The large box from before has disappeared. No wonder no one noticed the Seventh Prince's true colors; he's so cunning.

"What did the Seventh Prince just mention?"

Although the Seventh Prince was ruthless, he was always sincere towards Song Miqiu and never hid anything from her.

"Imperial Physician, you may not know this, but Consort Li sent someone to poison me. Luckily, I discovered it and escaped this danger."

After finishing the conversation, the topic shifted to Song Miqiu.

"Do you remember what happened last time? I've found out that the person who framed you was Consort Li."

Song Miqiu was unaware of this matter.

"So what do you want to do?"

Song Miqiu naturally saw through the Seventh Prince's thoughts; he simply wanted to find an accomplice.

To deal with Consort Li, Song Miqiu also needs the role of the Seventh Prince.

"I think we should join forces and devise a strategy to defeat Consort Li."

Song Miqiu had long had this idea, and it was perfect that the Seventh Prince had brought it up.

"Alright, let's take advantage of this grand ceremony to devise a good plan."

The two men pondered Consort Li's weaknesses in the tent, but Consort Li had no children and was currently favored by the Emperor, so they really didn't know how to make a move.

Just as the two were talking about the Emperor's favor, the Seventh Prince sneered.

"Isn't she favored? Then let's find her a man and see how she explains herself to the Emperor."

The Seventh Prince's move was truly brilliant. Once discovered, even if Consort Li escapes this predicament, the Emperor will likely never favor her again.

"This method is perfect for dealing with Consort Li."

Who told Consort Li to be dishonest?

After receiving Song Miqiu's approval, the next step was to figure out how to implement the plan.

It was the Seventh Prince who spoke first, "I'll find a trustworthy subordinate to find out the exact time when the Emperor and Consort Li will return to their tent."

Song Miqiu immediately understood the Seventh Prince's thoughts.

"Okay, we'll keep in touch by sending out whistles."

After saying that, the two went their separate ways.

Song Miqiu watched as the Emperor and Consort Li set off for the tent before giving the Seventh Prince a whistle.

The Seventh Prince had already made preparations.

Before Song Miqiu could even receive a reply from the Seventh Prince, the Emperor's side was already in an uproar.

Song Miqiu rushed forward to check on him, praying that nothing unexpected would happen.

It wasn't until Song Miqiu joined the crowd that she learned what had happened.

It turns out that someone reported that thieves had appeared during the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.

The emperor was furious. How could such an important event, which only happens once every few decades, be ruined by thieves?

He personally ordered, "Immediately close the ceremony, and no one is allowed to move. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must capture that thief and behead him on the spot."

Song Miqiu breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't anything else.

I thought the Seventh Prince had come up with such a lie.

They continued to lurk leisurely in the crowd.

However, seeing that Consort Li seemed to be whispering something in the Emperor's ear, the Emperor changed his order.

"The Imperial Guards are to thoroughly search all the tents and channels under my command. Do not miss a single one."

Just then, the Seventh Prince arrived.

The moment Song Miqiu saw the Seventh Prince, she immediately pulled him away from that place.

"Was it your idea to find thieves in the tent?"

The seventh prince appeared completely unaware of the situation.

"No, what are you talking about?"

The next second, he immediately realized, "This is Consort Li's trick."

After saying that, he pulled Song Miqiu and hurried into the tent.

The two took a shortcut and luckily arrived in time.

The seventh prince hurriedly cleaned up all the bloodstains inside the tent.

Only then could I leave with peace of mind.

Throughout the entire process, Song Miqiu did not utter a single question.

As the Seventh Prince pulled Song Miqiu away, he said, "I'll tell you about the bloodstains later. Let's leave now."

The idea that thieves searched the tents was obviously Consort Li's idea.

She believed that Song Miqiu had been drugged and then sent to the Seventh Prince's tent, and that something indecent would definitely happen between them.

Then we can take the emperor to catch them in bed together and have our cake and eat it too.

Unfortunately, it just so happened that the Seventh Prince and Song Miqiu got together.

The Imperial Guards naturally found nothing in the Seventh Prince's tent, and after an hour they still hadn't found the thief Wu Zhongxu.

Instead, they found a handsome young man, naked, inside Consort Li's tent.

How could the Imperial Guards be bribed? Naturally, they immediately sent someone to report to the Emperor upon discovering the bribery.

The old eunuch turned pale with fright upon hearing the news.

This was a great humiliation for the emperor, especially at such a solemn moment.

She walked shakily to the Emperor, glanced at Consort Li, and immediately lowered her head.

He whispered in the Emperor's ear everything the Imperial Guards had discovered.

In an instant, the emperor was furious. He turned around and slapped Consort Li.

The Emperor used all his strength in that slap, knocking Consort Li to the ground, leaving a handprint on her beautiful cheek.

In full view of everyone, the Emperor personally asked Consort Li a question.

"How dare you have an affair with a stranger during the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven behind my back!"

Consort Li hadn't figured out the situation yet, so she wouldn't admit to what the Emperor was saying.
