Chapter 1117: Chapter 1122: Secret Plot (3)

Princess Zhao Gui spoke anxiously, "Your Highness, Zhao Gui is not making baseless accusations. You also know that when my mother was alive, Zhao Gui held a distinguished position in the Palace. Although I am now a fallen phoenix, there are still a few confidants willing to remain loyal to me. This information comes from one of Zhao Gui’s loyal palace maids, whose sister serves Princess Tuotuo at the Inn. If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can summon her to inquire..."

As the conversation reached this point, even if Cai Wei didn’t want to believe it, she had to!

She hadn’t expected that Empress Dowager Mo and Princess Zhao Yue, in order to eliminate her, would actually go so far as to use Gu on their own son. They really thought highly of her!

Cai Wei’s lips curled into a frosty smile, her eyes filled with a chilling resolve: "Empress Dowager, Princess Zhao Yue, Princess Tuotuo, good, very good..."

Princess Zhao Gui said, "They plan to take action today, so please, Your Highness, be prepared!"

Cai Wei smiled coldly, "Prepared, naturally..."

...

After Princess Zhao Gui left, Empress Mu went to the Royal Study to see The Emperor. Approaching noon, she left the Palace as originally planned to return to her parents’ house.

As soon as her front foot was out the door, news reached Jade Palace, and upon learning of her departure, Empress Dowager Mo hastily began making arrangements.

"Chen Shangxi, go tell The Emperor to come and have lunch with me later..."

"Tuotuo, hide yourself first later on, and come out after The Emperor is drunk..."

"Luo Xue, stay with Princess Tuotuo, to prevent any mistakes..."

Empress Dowager Mo busily made arrangements, as Tuotuo and Luo Xue obediently agreed on the surface but harbored different thoughts in their hearts.

Tuotuo had already learned of Empress Dowager Mo’s intentions from Nangong Yu and, furious, had made up her mind that once she became the Empress of Great Jin, she would settle the score with this Empress Dowager who tried to use her and then discard her.

Luo Xue had also secretly prepared several kinds of medicine powder. Once the Gu bugs emerged, she would first sprinkle pest control powder on Tuotuo, then some sedative, and all would be set in order; Li Ruizhu was much easier to deal with, being merely the daughter of a military commander with some modest martial arts skills. Compared with hers, Li Ruizhu’s abilities were insignificant. She only needed some pest control powder and a palm strike to easily take her down.

She also brought some aphrodisiacs, for when the Cloud-rain Gu bugs bit her and The Emperor, those powders could enhance their pleasure...

Li Ruizhu had arrived early and was hidden in the inner chamber of Jade Palace. At this moment, her heart of a young maiden throbbed wildly with both nervousness and excitement!

Her years-long dream was about to be realized today!

Later, as The Emperor came to have lunch with the Empress Dowager, she would slip something into the meal to make The Emperor fall into a deep sleep. Then the palace maidens would help bring The Emperor to the room where she was hiding. As Tuotuo entered to apply the Gu, Luo Xue would knock her out and take her away.

After that, she and The Emperor would be the only ones left in the room. The Gu bugs would need to find hosts; with only the two of them there, naturally, the male Gu would seek The Emperor while the female Gu would find her. Then, she wouldn’t only be able to fulfill her wish of becoming the Empress of Great Jin, but also become The Emperor’s only, most beloved woman...

While they were all lost in their thoughts, Chen Shangxi returned, his face drawn with worry.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, The Emperor says he is feeling unwell and will come to dine with you tomorrow. He has retired to rest for today..."

Upon hearing her son was unwell, Empress Dowager Mo immediately cast aside everything else and anxiously said, "What? Unwell? How did he become unwell all of a sudden? Has the Imperial Physician seen him?"
