Chapter 249 Shooting yourself in the foot
Wang Yongsheng was truly frightened by her. He swallowed hard, unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, Consort Zhen raised her hand, gently unbuttoning her clothes while leaning closer to him.
His breathing suddenly quickened and his face turned bright red all the way to his ears when her chest pressed against his face.
His shy demeanor was exactly what Consort Zhen loved.
She suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, her bright eyes flickering with a greedy glint in them.
Ever since she was favored by the Emperor, she used to see him once every three to five days, then once a month, then once every two or three months. Since Consort Lan came, the Emperor has only visited Zhenshu Garden once in the past six months.
Thinking of this, she looked at Wang Yongsheng with eyes full of grievance, and murmured with tears in her eyes,
"The Emperor hasn't touched me for half a year. I am a woman too, and I also need a man's care. But this harem has three palaces and six gardens, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties. How can the Emperor possibly take care of an old woman like me?"
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is not old."
Wang Yongsheng desperately tried to suppress his inner turmoil while swallowing hard.
He is twenty-three years old today, but he has never tasted the flavor of a woman, although he does not know what that tastes like.
Now, he feels a reaction somewhere in his body, a reaction that makes him feel hot all over.
"Physician Wang, carry me...to bed..."
Consort Zhen kept writhing her body, pressing herself against him, "Quick, I want it... I really want it."
Her voice seemed to possess a magical power, a power that made it impossible for listeners to resist.
Finally, his reason vanished instantly under her onslaught. He bent down, scooped her up in his arms, and rushed towards the inner palace with her in his arms like an arrow…
……
After their lovemaking, Wang Yongsheng scrambled to his feet and dressed. Consort Lan, half-reclined on the bed, called to him.
"I'm addicted. You have to come again tonight..."
Just now in bed, Wang Yongsheng used all his strength to give Consort Zhen a pleasure she had never experienced before.
However, she wanted more than just his body; she also wanted... his help.
Wang Yongsheng hesitated for a moment, then asked with concern:
"Your Majesty, I have... I have other matters to attend to."
"I am unwell and have ordered you to examine me. Is there anything more important than this?"
"But...but I'm afraid. If someone finds out, I can't bear the consequences!"
Consort Zhen straightened her disheveled clothes and gave him a sweet smile.
"You did so well just now, how could I let anything happen to you? But, your first time was a little short, how about I try again tonight?"
Wang Yongsheng was quite frightened and quickly shook his head in reply:
"Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"Weren't you happy just now?"
He shook his head,
"Happiness, happiness I've never felt before."
"Then why did you ask me to spare you? Don't you want it anymore?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I dare not. I bear the lives of the entire royal family on my shoulders, and I dare not act recklessly."
"Since there has been a first time, why be afraid of a second? Don't worry, all the servants in my palace are my own people, and the Emperor only comes once every six months. You can use my body whenever you want."
Her words gave Wang Yongsheng a feeling of irresistible attraction, yet also a sense of dread.
"Alright, go back now. Remember to come early tonight, I'll be waiting for you..."
He didn't dare to agree or say anything. He picked up his medicine box, turned around, and left in a hurry.
Consort Zhen wore a satisfied smile, but her eyes held a strange glint.
Since Consort Lan wanted to harm her, she had to give her a return gift; otherwise, how could she repay her kindness?
……
Early the next morning
After delivering the medicine to Consort Zhen, Lady Cui waited for news from Zhen Shu Yuan, but things seemed quiet there, with no movement at all. This made her a little worried that Consort Zhen would notice something amiss, so she tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep a wink.
"Madam Cui..."
The maid's voice came from outside, startling her so much that she sat bolt upright.
"what happened?"
"Someone from Zhenshuyuan has come and asks you to go there."
Finally, news has arrived.
She was secretly startled, and hurriedly ran to the door. The moment she opened the door, she anxiously asked...
"What happened over there?"
The girl shook her head.
"The person didn't say anything, only that it was urgent and that you should come over as soon as possible. They also said that some medicine had been spilled and that you should bring another packet."
Upon hearing this, Madam Cui frowned, took a deep breath, patted her chest, waved for the maid to leave, turned and ran to her bedside, took out the medicine she had prepared in advance and stuffed it into her chest, then hurriedly rushed to Zhenshu Garden.
All the way there she kept thinking, no wonder there had been no movement from Zhenshu Garden, it turned out that Consort Zhen had spilled the medicine.
However, the fact that she was able to send people to find medicine again showed that she did not doubt her medicine, which made her very proud.
When she arrived at Zhenshu Garden, Consort Zhen was still sitting there leisurely drinking tea.
Last night, Wang Yongsheng, young and vigorous, had his first taste of pleasure and had made three rounds with her. Although she was a little sleepy, she was in high spirits.
The feeling of being pleasured by a man left her with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
If it weren't for the early dawn, she would have loved to stay in bed with him forever...
"My lady..."
Cui called out to her, then looked around, but Consort Zhen seemed not to understand her meaning as she looked at her.
"Mrs. Cui, you've come? Is there something you need?"
Cui blinked a few times, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Your Majesty, I've come to bring you your medicine. Have you forgotten?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Zhen seemed to suddenly realize something and patted her head.
"Oh, right, right, look at my memory, I forgot something so important! Someone come here!"
"My lady..."
Has Physician Wang arrived?
"We've arrived. They're waiting outside."
"Invite him in."
Upon hearing this, Madam Cui became somewhat flustered.
"Your Majesty, why did you summon the imperial physician?"
Consort Zhen's lips curved slightly, her eyes sharp as she looked at her.
"The imperial physician is here, what are you afraid of?"
Cui seemed to realize something was wrong, quickly covered her chest, and stammered:
"I...I'm not afraid...If you have nothing else to do, I...I'll go now."
"Someone, hold her down."
As soon as Consort Zhen finished speaking, several palace maids rushed in and pinned her to the ground. At that moment, Imperial Physician Wang quickly walked in.
"My lady..."
She gave Wang Yongsheng a wink and then raised her voice, saying:
"Doctor Wang, Cui sent me a prescription, but I'm worried it might be fake. Could you check it for me?"
After nodding, Wang Yongsheng took the medicine packet handed to him by the maid, opened it, smelled it with his nose, and then frowned and said:
"Your Majesty, this is a medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but it contains arsenic, and in a very large dose. One dose can be fatal..."
Lady Cui looked at Consort Zhen in horror and shook her head vigorously.
"Let me go! Let me go! I want to go back to Zhenlan Garden. I am Consort Lan's mother. What can you do to me?"
A hint of gloom flashed in Consort Zhen's beautiful eyes, and then she waved her hand.
"Guards, take her to Changshou Palace and let the Empress Dowager decide this for me."
Upon hearing that she was to see the Empress Dowager, Cui was immediately terrified. However, she was caught red-handed, and there was no way she could deny it.
At this moment, her eyes darted back and forth, desperately trying to think of a solution.
No matter what, she couldn't let Lan Hua be implicated...
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she had an idea that she felt was foolproof.
