Chapter 8 (1/2)

The Second Prince Rongxiang learned early in thehad happened in the Blue Jade Palace When he approached, the ered and alround

He knew that E had an incredibly sensitive nose, and was affected by every little smell Otherwise, Concubine Li would not have to spend excessive a spices in order to burn them every day…

And now, Concubine Li was actually producing such a foul body odour—to the point that she caused the Emperor to faint This was simply a disaster As of now, the situation was not clear The Empress still held the Enificant tarnishes on his reputation If Concubine Li fell out of favor, would he gain a further advantage?

With this fear and anxiety weighing on hiht to the Blue Jade Palace early in the —as soon as he heard the news He wanted to see what had happened, but he did not expect his father, the Emperor, to actually be there!?

Was it possible that this horrible mess could actually turn out for the better? A hint of excite quickly walked into the palace, and when he had barely set foot inside, he was inundated with the foulest stench he had ever encountered He grew dizzy, and before he could be greeted…he fainted…

The palace was thrown into a flurry of activity; it had beco's special duty to prepare and provide wet, scented handkerchiefs to all who entered

Desperately holding the wet cloth over hisline; he could not help the cold, sinking feeling in his heart His h to have her removed to the Cold Palace2; it was truly a miracle she was allowed to remain here…

When Rongxiang heard that soaking in the hot springs for three hours would rehtened He stepped forward and requested, “Father E to escortPalace”

Eht, in his heart; the effect of this medicinal pill was unquestionable Concubine Li's appearance had reverted to its youthful vitality, and her gorgeous looks were enhanced Not only did her beauty ave him hope Since there was a way to deal with the stench, if he also took this pill…could he also restore his youth? At that time, where would he have to worry about the power held by the Crown Prince?

With those thoughts, he endured the stench and returned to the Blue Jade Palace He had not dared to believe that the odour could be remedied

After listening to Rongxiang’s petition, the Emperor acquiesced, and then remarked, “You have a sincere heart and your filial piety is adether”

Rongxiang was extremely pleased, and Concubine Li also revealed a joyful expression

Shortly after they began the journey to the Luofang Palace, a small eunuch quietly retreated and rushed back toward the Crowned Prince's quarters

shi+ Qing was still being held within Qin Mo's pal, it did not prevent hi to the small eunuch report on the situation When he heard that the Emperor and Concubine Li were currently en route towards Luofang Palace, a solution quickly entered his mind

In the Imperial Palace, Qin Mo lacked the means to kill the E Palace, even if there were guards deployed, there were bound to be some exploitable weaknesses in his protection Not to mention, the old E could only be so meticulous

When shi+ Qing thought this way, he immediately felt that he had touched on the truth

At this ti sleeves, and a jade crown restrained his dark, flowing hair Although the Crown Prince's appearance was quite ordinary, in thisHe stroked the jade pendant in his hand out of habit, and then issued an order, ”Co Palace”

shi+ Qing was excited; it was finally time to drop the net! But…did Qin Mo really want to carry the burden of co felt a bit aard in his heart, but it was not long before he learned how silly he was…

When they arrived at Luofang Palace, E did not waste any tiuards kept watch outside the palace, in the full light of day, while the beautiful young Imperial Concubine went immediately down into the water

Eo down at this time; he sat on the side and watched quietly Three hours was not long, but it was not too short either However, compared to the recovery of one's youth, it was not even worth

Rongxiang kept watch outside, and his heart was very anxious He was afraid that the smell on Concubine Li's body would not be removed completely—ould this mother and child do…if he lost the Emperor’s favour, he was still too weak to fly on his own How could he fight with the Crown Prince? Rongxiang's lanced over to his temporary defense of the palace; a faint wisp of treasonous thoughts wound their way up into his mind

If…if…no! He quickly shook his head, and rejected those thoughts from his mind However, the seed had already sprouted, and taken root in his heart

Even though it should take three hours, after Concubine Li had soaked for only one hour, the disgusting stench had already begun to fade E had discovered this phenomenon even sooner than Concubine Li His ht from his chair

Concubine Li did not understand at first, but when she saw the Es had truly achieved a miracle

E the other Zhu Yan Pill in his hand, and he watched Concubine Li with the eyes of a downright fanatic—not only because of her delicate white skin, but even more so because of the success of this experiment

Two hours later, Concubine Li came out of the water Her skin was creamy and smooth, her face like a peach blossorance—she was a beauty uneneration

She moved towards the Emperor, fell to her knees, and softly called, “Your Majesty the Emperor…”

E helped her up excitedly Her skin was delicate and srance wafted towards hi about her caused him to be choked up with emotions, he could scarcely express himself, “Imperial Concubine my love, how do you feel?”

Concubine Li understood what he was asking, sood everywhere My body is relaxed, and it seey” When she finished speaking, she stretched out her finger and placed it onto the emperor’s chest, where she playfully drew a circle Then she continued her sultry flirting, “Your Majesty the Emperor, why not take your pill without delay?”

Her words echoed the thoughts that were in the Ee in Concubine Li, he was already deeply interested He was much older than the Imperial Concubine Concubine Li was already depressed from just a fen lines around her eyes—the E was far worse than that He had tinnitus, blurred vision, pain in his lis that had greatly contributed to the old E his sense of security He was in a constant state of panic that the young and pro Crown Prince would seize his throne

But now, he was unexpectedly given the opportunity to restore his youth Surely this n that God wanted hi?

Concubine Li had already co se sip of water, and then sed the fragrant brown pill

When she saw that E had taken the pill, Concubine Li hurried to make him comfortable, and then told him, “Your Majesty the Eood, but after taking it the body will start to heat up, and you'll sweat profusely, it could last for a while…”

“Thud!” Before Concubine Li could finish speaking her last words, she was shocked into a complete silence

Eone completely stiff and then collapsed backwards He landed hard on the ground; his eyes were both wide open, he was foaly
