Chapter 268: The Unlucky Eunuch

Boom! The strike knocked down the unlucky emperor. Unfortunately, he regained consciousness after being stabbed, to which Ah Song quickly responded with another quick jab at his neck,

“…” Bai Xiangxiu nearly burst into laughter. However, it didn’t seem quite appropriate to laugh at the moment. “Cold water,” she whispered weakly.

“Oh.” There wasn’t a lot of people around, so Ah Song was able to find some cold water relatively quickly.

Bai Xiangxiu didn’t even hesitate for a second before pouring the cold water all over herself. Cold water was enough to temporarily soothe the symptoms because the aphrodisiac wasn’t as potent as those from the enemy nations. After that she pulled out the hairpin from the emperor’s body. “Carry the eunuch here,” she ordered.

Ah Song followed her orders and carried the eunuch over to where she pointed. After that, she ordered him to arrange the eunuch into a specific pose and stabbed herself in the shoulder. Blood began flowing down her arms. Now with pain and cold, she was completely relieved from the aphrodisiac’s symptoms. It wasn’t very potent, so it was quite an easy temporary solution. She then placed the hairpin in the eunuch’s hands and sat on the bed with a cold look on her face. “You may go!”

“…” Princess consort, what the hell are you up to?

Ah Song had no choice but to leap out of the room. He’d just done so when he heard the princess consort scream for help. “Guards! Protect the emperor! Assassin!”

“……” Ah Song nearly stumbled mid leap. Did she have to yell so intensely? However, after thinking about the situation just now, he quickly came to the conclusion that this was the best way to solve this problem. It was a pity about the eunuch though.

A bunch of people came rushing in after they heard Bai Xiangxiu yell. Amongst the crowd was Noble Consort Su, who was likely waiting nearby to watch a good show unfold.

“What’s… What’s going on?” Nevertheless, she was a little befuddled. Were things supposed to develop this way?

It was at this moment that Princess Consort Li, previously curled up in a ball, suddenly ran towards the noble consort and jumped piteously into her arms. The force of the jump nearly knocked the wind out of Noble Consort Su. She was even more shocked by the sound of Bai Xiangxiu’s crying. “Elder sister, help me! This eunuch has gone insane and tried to kill me! Fortunately, the emperor suddenly appeared and came to my rescue!”

The emperor came to her rescue? Well, it wasn’t impossible simply based on the scene in front of her. Noble Consort Su then furrowed her brows. “What are all of you waiting for?! LIft the emperor onto the bed and summon the imperial doctor!”

“Sister, I was so afraid!” Bai Xiangxiu’s white lotus charms immediately unfurled and made Noble Consort Su stiffen. Goosebumps had broken out all over her skin, but she couldn’t push Bai Xiangxiu away. How did things end up this way? Isn’t she supposed to be sleeping with the emperor? I was supposed to catch them in bed and punish her for seducing the emperor! After that, the emperor would pity her and take her into the harem, and then we would slowly torture the gunpowder formula out of her! She’s just a woman from the olden times! She’s nothing without her man!

Bai Xiangxiu could consider herself a corpse after giving out the formula, since Noble Consort Su despised white lotus flowers with a fiery passion. Unfortunately, the target of her scheme was currently sobbing into her bosom and rumpling her clothes hard with her fingers. Noble Consort Su was growing incredibly irritated.

The eunuch awoke soon after the doctor was finished bandaging the emperor up. The first thing he noticed was the hairpin in his hands. He immediately threw it away after jumping up in horror. There was still blood on the hairpin dripping onto the floor.
