AWB Chapter 387 Disdain
Chapter 387 Disdain
The next day, the Regent's Palace.
Hongmei handed the sachet to Di Xiuyan and said respectfully, "Master, this item was given by King Chen to harm you. He said... this sachet can make all men lose their virility and never again... be humane."
She paused, then continued, "King Chen also ordered me to secretly monitor you and told me to report your every move to him."
After reporting this, Hongmei stepped aside and waited for her fate.
As for the snake venom flower, it is colorless and tasteless. If it is put in people's medicine, it is difficult for the person taking the medicine to detect it.
Therefore, she planned to put it in Di Xiuyan's daily diet to complete a task assigned by Pei Mochen.
Hongmei felt that both Di Xiuyan and Pei Mochen were just using her, so it was impossible for her to be loyal to either side.
Hongmei wants to be a double agent. She obeys both sides and pleases both sides, so that she will be the final beneficiary.
Di Xiuyan glanced at the sachet calmly, a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes, and he sneered, "The Yu poison not only damages the foundation of men, but is also fatal to women."
After saying that, he looked at Hongmei calmly and said, "You've worked hard. Remember, be careful when touching this."
Hongmei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She asked Di Xiuyan cautiously, "Master, are you saying... are you saying that this thing can also harm women?"
Didn't King Chen say yesterday that this poison is harmless to women? How could he lie to me?
Di Xiuyan threw a sachet into Hongmei's hand and said, "Take it and find a doctor. Check it yourself to see if it is poisonous."
Seeing Hongmei's expression change instantly, Di Xiuyan's devilish face showed a meaningful expression.
His eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "There must be something else you are hiding from me, right?"
Hearing this, Hongmei knelt on the ground with a plop and said in panic, "I am guilty. I forgot to report an important matter to the master."
Di Xiuyan: "Speak!"
At this point, Hongmei finally took out the snake venom flower from her sleeve tremblingly and placed it in front of Di Xiuyan's desk.
"Master, this is the snake venom flower. King Chen said that if a man takes it, he will... become sterile."
"Damn it!" Before Hongmei could finish her words, Meng Xiao, who was standing behind Di Xiuyan, couldn't help but curse.
He kicked the chair next to him hard, "This is too much."
Then, he bowed to Di Xiuyan and said, "Master, I will go to Prince Chen's Mansion right away to get Pei Mochen's head. I want to see how capable he is."
Di Xiuyan did not respond, but said to Hongmei in a serious tone: "Snake poison flower, if a woman touches it, her life will be in danger, you'd better stay away from it."
Hongmei: "..."
I never thought that the King Chen, whom I have respected all my life, would be such a sinister and cunning person.
It was a waste that she liked Pei Mochen for so many years.
Thinking of this, Hongmei quickly knelt down in front of Di Xiuyan and said excitedly: "Master, if you need anything, just tell me."
"Hongmei is willing to go through fire and water for you from now on, even if it means death!"
Di Xiuyan moved his fingers slightly, signaling her to get up. He could tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.
Hongmei: "If the master needs me to poison Prince Chen, I will..."
Emperor Xiuyan: "This kind of insidious and cunning thing is something that I would not do."
His deep eyes looked at Meng Xiao, "Meng Xiao, take these dirty things away and dispose of them, so as not to harm anyone else."
However, Meng Xiao, who was usually the most obedient, was not happy at this moment. "Master, I am not convinced. How can I repay kindness by repaying evil with kindness?"
"Only by giving someone a taste of their own medicine can I relieve the hatred in my heart."
Then, a pair of angry eyes immediately looked at Hongmei, "Miss Hongmei, I beg you to put all these things in Prince Chen's Mansion. Whatever Pei Mochen did to my master, I will return it to Pei Mochen."
He puffed out his chest and said indignantly: "Prince Chen wants my master to be infertile, so I will make him sterilized. Prince Chen wants my master to be inhumane, so I will make him a eunuch."
Hongmei looked at Meng Xiao, then at Di Xiuyan, and found that Di Xiuyan did not say anything, but the corners of his handsome lips were slightly raised.
As a secret guard, he naturally understood that the Regent's approval of Meng Xiao's proposal was tantamount to his consent.
She bowed to Di Xiuyan and said, "Yes, as you command. Hongmei will definitely do a great job on this matter."
Meng Xiao calmed down a little, but he was still speaking foul language and saying a lot of dirty words.
Hongmei's cheeks turned slightly red as she noticed this general who looked honest and simple but actually had a very bad temper.
He was tall and strong, handsome, and had the domineering look of leading troops into battle on his face... He was a righteous and interesting man.
Hongmei began to have some strange thoughts. She had no ambition to be the Regent, and Pei Mochen was really insidious and cunning. Now, Meng Xiao seemed like someone worthy of trust.
He is straightforward and always speaks his mind. He also seems to have a good relationship with the Regent. I believe he receives a lot of monthly allowance.
……
When she left the palace, she asked a nosy maid and learned that Meng Xiao had a good income, and his salary was more than three times higher than hers.
Moreover, Meng Xiao is still unmarried and never visits brothels. He has no father or mother, so he won't have to deal with conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
Hongmei was overjoyed and felt even more satisfied with Meng Xiao.
Ben had already stepped out of the Regent's Palace, but worried that his good husband would be snatched away by someone else, he turned back.
He found an excuse to find Meng Xiao and talked a lot of irrelevant things with him. Before leaving, he handed him the sachet.
With a hoarse voice and eyes full of spring, Hongmei said: "General Meng, please take this sachet first. If you don't mind, Hongmei will find time to embroider a purse for you later."
Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment, his handsome eyebrows almost twisted together. "Dislike...dislike, really dislike."
He returned the sachet to Hongmei and refused loudly: "Ms. Hongmei, you just took the poisonous sachet to report to the Regent King. Now you are giving it to me. I really dare not accept it."
My goodness, I can’t do anything humane after smelling it for so long, how can this be tolerated?
Hongmei burst out laughing when she heard that. "General Meng, you are joking. This sachet is non-toxic. I embroidered it myself."
Meng Xiao refused and said, "I'm scared. I hope you can understand."
Seeing that Hongmei had no intention of leaving, Meng Xiao quickly said frankly: "Meng already has someone in his heart, You, who is a gentle woman like a fairy. Meng really cannot accept your kindness."
"Besides, Meng already has someone in his heart, so it's not easy for me to take your sachet."
He was kind-hearted by nature. He didn't want to offend the girl, but he was also worried that if he rejected Hongmei, she would not be willing to work for him.
So, he suggested: "Meng Xiao has a good friend named Chi Yan, he likes girls who are good at martial arts, if Miss Hong Mei is interested, I can introduce you to Chi Yan."
After saying this, Hongmei instantly became angry and said, "Bah, what kind of person do you think I am? I gave you the sachet just because I admire your bravery and integrity. Do you think I like you?"
"Do you want to introduce Chiyan to me? Is it because I am at the ninth level of Hongmei skill that no one likes me? Is it necessary for you to worry about it?"
She cursed loudly: "Everyone in the Regent's Palace is a reckless man. I don't care about you."
The next second, he turned around and left.
He almost bumped into a solid wall of flesh. The man was tall and handsome.
Seeing Hongmei, he immediately took a few steps back, frowned and said unhappily: "Who said I was a reckless man? If we were reckless men, who would lead the troops to fight?"
Chi Yan looked at Hong Mei and said disdainfully, "Girl, don't think you can speak freely just because you are pretty. A woman's inner beauty is what matters most."
"You are outspoken and have no character. I am ashamed of you."
"Beauty? You said I'm pretty?" Hongmei stood there in a daze, her eyes wide open. This was the first time she heard such an evaluation from a man.
Oh my god, how come this general named Chi Yan has such good vision?
Looking closely at his wheat-colored skin and smooth contours, it's obvious that he's skilled in martial arts.
Hongmei couldn't help but blush, feeling extremely upset at the harsh words she had just said.
As for Chi Yan, his vision is indeed different from that of ordinary people. What ordinary people think is ugly, he thinks is acceptable.
For example, Mu Wanyan was stunningly beautiful, but he thought she was just average looking. On the contrary, he preferred women with dark skin and a big body.
Meng Xiao naturally knew this.
Meng Xiao: "General Chi, you came at the right time. I wanted to let Miss Hongmei meet you, but she didn't want to."
Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I don't want to either. She looks okay, but her temper is too bad. This kind of woman is the most worthless."
"And I already have someone I love, so I'm sorry I can't obey your order."
Hongmei: "You...you...you people from the Regent's Palace..."
How come each one of them is more handsome than the other? She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
-
At the same time, in the Jianjia Pavilion of Prince Chen's Mansion, there was another scene:
The morning sun shone into the house. Mu Wanyan had just finished washing up when she heard a commotion in the yard.
A domineering woman in red, waving a horsewhip in her hand, wantonly whipped Mu Wanyan's maid in the courtyard of Jianjia Pavilion.
The voice was sharp and piercing, "Mu Wanyan, get out here, right now, right now!"
Pei Yuzhu didn't know which link had gone wrong. She made careful plans, hoping that her brother Pei Mochen would cooperate with her in acting and tell Di Xiuyan that she was the one who detoxified him that night.
However, his brother did not tell Di Xiuyan as originally planned, but instead became more and more distant from him.
