"Is it the new medicine? Is it different from the previous one? What exactly is Qi Hao plotting?"
Qi Xiaomian continued to speak in a calm manner, her beauty unmatched in Jingjing City. How could she be dissatisfied?
The Enchantress chuckled, "The emperor is indeed an emperor, but it's a pity he has such a mother. This gives us an opportunity. My Lord, when you ascend to the throne, don't forget your promise to me."
"Qi Hao! Ascend to the throne?! Such ambition!"
Could it be the same old trick? The beauty-controlling Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager's appearance had changed drastically; over the years, it wasn't just him who had begun to suspect. This old trick was indeed not very effective anymore. Unless Qi Hao had other schemes.
But what if he did have schemes?
Qi Xiaomian thought that since he had already harbored murderous intent against him, once he was dead, the game would be over.
"I naturally remember your promise. Once I achieve success, I will not forget you; you will hold the highest position in the harem."
A promise? Qi Xiaomian had heard Qi Hao's promises many times since childhood. They were always the same few, just worded differently; she could guess them easily!
"Are you satisfied now?"
Qi Xiaomian made another request. "I can do without medicine for a few days, but the Empress Dowager is pressing for it. As long as I can meet her needs, I don't care about the quantity."
Hadn't she just received it not long ago? Why was she urging again?
The Enchantress pondered and then provided her own answer. It seemed that Qi Xiaomian didn't want to find a way to make up for it; she simply listened to her.
It was likely due to differing constitutions; the medicine's effect was stronger than expected and had caused addiction sooner than anticipated. She must have taken too much in one day, which was why there was urgency now. It seemed she needed to reduce the medicine's effect a bit more to keep her hooked.
Addicted?
Recalling her last encounter with the Empress Dowager, Qi Xiaomian thought there hadn't been any signs of that.
Since the medicine had been taken, he speculated that this calamity for the Empress Dowager would not be light; at worst, it could harm her body and shorten her life.
Qi Xiaomian was already considering how to maintain his role as a dutiful grandson when he returned to court after everything was done.
"My Lord, what are you thinking about?"
Noticing Qi Hao lost in thought, the Enchantress felt somewhat displeased. It wasn't easy for them to spend time together; naturally, she hoped that his mind and heart were focused on her.
"Oh, you just mentioned adjusting the medicine's effect down a bit. That made me think about timing; I was just calculating in my mind."
Time? Mei'er has been counting as well, wondering how many years are left. That's why she has reduced the Medicine Effect a bit, just to keep her life hanging by a thread. My Lord, rest assured, Mei'er will not let you down.
A few years? There is indeed plenty of time, enough for him to deal with the hidden dangers left after Qi Hao's death.
I naturally trust you.
My Lord, are you feeling hot?
A little.
Then, why don't you come with me to the underground? It's cool down there, and the medicine is also stored below. I'll go get it for you. Besides, we haven't seen each other for a while; Mei'er has missed you for a long time. Come on, let Mei'er lead the way.
