Yuanbao pushed the door open and stepped out. A faint purple light flashed, and before anyone could see it, they all collapsed.
Yuanbao dragged Eunuch Mo inside.
Consort Xian ordered the Hidden Guards to pour wine down Eunuch Mo's throat.
Then the group withdrew, their mission accomplished, hiding both their deeds and their names.
Before long, sounds of forceful conquest came from the private chamber. Just listening was enough to tell how fierce things were inside.
Consort Xian and the Hidden Guards she had brought decided to change their plan.
Since the Ruler of Eastern Lin had failed to get Yuanbao today, he would surely be unwilling to let it go. Consort Xian only needed to stage a chance encounter along the route he had to take back.
She would cover her face with a veil, leaving only her eyes and brows exposed. With those similar features, she would play hard to get and look pitiful enough to tug at that man's heart.
Still, getting the Sovereign to lower his guard and take her back would be rather difficult.
If she refused at the right moments, then yielded a little and gave him a taste of sweetness when he grew angry, wouldn't she have him firmly in the palm of her hand?
At that thought, the corners of Consort Xian's mouth slowly curved beneath her veil.
"Just do as this consort... as I say in a moment. From now on, my name is Linglong!"
"Yes." The Hidden Guards found a few beggars to stage the scene.
Together, they waited along the route the Sovereign had to take back to the Great Shit Hall.
Meanwhile, Jing Wu and Yuanbao had left with them.
The two had jumped out through the window of the private chamber at the Emerald Mist House.
