Chapter 186 Eavesdropping
It turns out that when he was a child, the emperor's grandfather taught him to open this lock in order to help him get another will.
The Emperor knows his son to the core.
After opening it, the familiar handwritten edict and the bright red jade seal made Nangong Rui sob.
Below the edict there was a handwritten letter left for him by his grandfather.
After reading it, Nangong Rui burst into tears.
It turned out that his grandfather the Emperor had done so much for him when he was alive. What reason did he have not to work hard, to seize the throne, and to protect the Ming Ning Kingdom?
Wipe away your tears, now is not the time to cry.
After putting the things back into the box, Nangong Rui quickly left the imperial city. He felt that the box would be safest where it was kept by Tian Xiaoxiao.
Tian Xiaoxiao was surprised when she saw the box.
"Miss Tian, I have a request. I beg you to keep the box for me. Inside is the will given to me by my grandfather. I only trust you now."
Nangong Rui used a tone that did not admit of rejection, and Tian Xiaoxiao did not shy away.
If we were to ask where the safest place in Ningguo is, it would of course be the storage space where she and her second brother Tian Xiwu live.
No one can get in, no one can find it.
Tian Xiaoxiao took the box, and it disappeared in her hands.
Nangong Rui was present when she got the bracelet during the expedition, so there was no need to hide it in front of him.
After the box was stored, Nangong Rui expressed his gratitude and hurried to the imperial city.
At night, Nangong Rui went to bed early and asked Ma Xiaonao to cover for him, acting like the prince in the East Palace.
Li was also called to the Eastern Palace and arranged for her to stay there for one night.
Zhao Fanchi and Nangong Ke's spies quickly went back to report that the Crown Prince had brought the Crown Princess to the palace tonight, and there was a high probability that the two of them were going to do something shameful.
The two were happy in their hearts. They must get hold of this handle. After dealing with Nangong Qi, they would immediately stop the affair between the prince and the princess who had not yet officially married into the royal family.
So there were two more groups of people near the East Palace.
Nangong Rui's own people withdrew.
Nangong Rui was no longer in the Eastern Palace at this moment. The future Crown Princess Li Yuheng was copying scriptures for the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace's study, intending to burn them during the Ghost Festival to commemorate the late emperor as a sign of piety.
Beside her was the female instructor of the Eastern Palace, and there were also a group of eunuchs and palace maids in the study.
Nangong Rui's study room had its windows covered with black oil paper. If people outside looked down at the East Palace from a high place, it would appear to be quiet and dark.
Zhao Fanchi's men had already been arranged to be beside Nangong Qi.
Nangong Qi would always ask a concubine to accompany him every night. Before that, he would drink medicine.
This gap is the best place to start.
Tonight, a total of two doses of medicine will be brought to Nangong Qi's bedroom.
I just don’t know whether Nangong Ke is faster or Zhao Fanchi is more rapid.
Tian Xiaoxiao and Daju used an invisibility talisman and squatted in Nangong Qi's bedroom.
Daju was afraid that Tian Xiaoxiao would suddenly speak, so he came in and surrounded the two of them with a barrier.
Now it doesn’t matter what Tian Xiaoxiao says.
Nangong Rui lived in the next room to Nangong Qi's bedroom, separated by a wall.
Nangong Qi also knew it.
In the evening, Nangong Rui quietly found Nangong Qi and told him that he would protect him closely in the next few days and asked him not to worry.
So when Nangong Rui suggested resting in the ear room next to Nangong Qi's bedroom for a few nights, Nangong Qi agreed without hesitation.
The houses in the imperial city have first-class sound insulation.
Besides, when it comes to matters between men and women, Nangong Qi has never shied away from court officials, nor from his own children.
It's not easy to become an emperor, so he can do whatever he wants.
In the end, Zhao Fanchi's medicine was successfully delivered to Nangong Qi's bedroom.
The medicine is real, but Daju has tampered with it. After drinking it, people will develop Alzheimer's disease, which can be cured by medicine.
If you drink Zhao Fanchi's medicine, you will not only become demented, but you will definitely die within the year, and there is no antidote.
Tian Xiaoxiao saw the person delivering the medicine coming in.
[Qingchen, you have already tampered with the medicine, right? ]
Daju: [Don't worry about me doing things. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui is next door, right? Nangong Qi is really brave. With so many people coveting him, he still dares to take drugs and sleep with women. ]
Daju: [Some people just want to enjoy life in the moment, and they won’t care even if the sky falls.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I'm bored, so I came to eat some gossip about the concubine who is accompanying Nangong Qi tonight! ]
Daju: [Aren’t those the concubine’s melons? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What the little ones in this room say is very interesting.]
Daju: [You say, I'll eat the melon. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Whenever Nangong Qi turns over the name of this concubine, the two of them will definitely draw on each other naked.]
Daju: [Ugh, what kind of hobby is this. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Because this concubine has skin as white as cream, the color applied to her would be a beautiful painting.]
Daju: [Is the painting on Nangong Qi enough to make people vomit up their leftover food? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [All the men in the Nangong family have good looks. Although Nangong Qi is not active, women still like his looks. With his demeanor as a superior, I wonder how many girls he has charmed.]
Daju: [Only those girls from small families are easily deceived. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Not bad, you have learned a lot about the ways of the world since coming to the human world.]
Daju: [You don’t need to come to the human world to know these things. The little maids in heaven have done such things in front of several great gods.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [After these two guys finish painting, they don’t wash it clean, so every time the palace people have to wash a lot of bedding, and they dare not say anything. ]
Daju: [The advantage of imperial power is that no matter what dirty things are done, the people below sometimes don’t even dare to get angry.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The little guys also said that this concubine asked for a lot of benefits from Nangong Qi, one of which was to get a nominal and lucrative position for her brother from her natal family.]
Daju: [What does the concubine want in exchange? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Body, what else is valuable for women in the deep palace besides their bodies? ]
Daju: [Doesn’t this make her a prostitute? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wrong, a prostitute can sleep with many men, but a woman in the harem can only sleep with one man.]
Daju: [It's just the opposite of the identities, there's no difference. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Haha, you are comparing the emperor to a prostitute! ]
Daju: [Hehe, isn’t that the role of the emperor? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Haha, Qingchen, you are getting funnier and funnier.]
Daju: [Nangong Qi drank the medicine.] Daju let Nangong Rui hear this, intending to remind Nangong Rui to be prepared.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [This concubine has been bribed by Nangong Ke. When she drinks the medicine, you should watch her carefully and protect Nangong Qi.]
Daju: [Don't worry, she just wants to castrate Nangong Qi. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [You know about it again? ]
Daju: [I can read minds, have you forgotten? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Ke should have asked her to do more than just castrate Nangong Qi, right? Is there no other mission?]
Daju: [There is a mission, but it can't beat the fact that she really wants to do something! It's the same if she kills Nangong Qi after castrating him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I don’t understand why you do this.]
Daju: [It’s hard to guess what people are thinking. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Look, it’s time to take the medicine. Get ready for action!]
