Seeing Wang Qinian's gossipy expression, Haitang was afraid he would spread rumors.
"I was just joking. Your poetry tonight is full of murderous intent, which this holy maiden quite likes. I'll have a drink and ask you for your guidance!"
"Of course, I will certainly teach you everything I know without holding back!" Li Chang'an replied solemnly.
After Haitang left with Li Chang'an, Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing were left behind, both looking astonished.
"The people of Northern Qi are indeed open-minded; the Holy Maiden has made her intentions so clear!"
"That's good too. Meeting late at night allows us to get straight to the point and saves us from guessing each other and wasting time."
"The lord has married the eldest princess of Northern Qi, and he and the holy maiden Haitang are deeply in love. He has also accomplished that great task. His trip to Northern Qi has been a resounding success!"
The courtyard of the crabapple tree.
The courtyard was filled with lanterns, and willow branches were inserted at the entrance, creating a strong atmosphere for the Shangsi Festival.
There were several plots of land in the courtyard, planted with various vegetables, which seemed quite out of place for a saintess.
The courtyard wasn't large, and Li Chang'an easily detected the auras of the other people, all of whom were at the seventh or eighth rank of cultivation.
However, those people were too far away to hear Li Chang'an and Haitang's conversation.
The moment Li Chang'an took his first sip of wine, he understood everything. After all, he was a prophet.
The wine contained a large amount of sleeping pills and a mind-altering drug.
"Haitang, I'm very satisfied that you've kept our promise."
This little courtyard was indeed very cozy, giving people a feeling of coming home, and Li Chang'an unconsciously changed his self-reference.
Haitang drank a cup heartily and said, "How could I break my promise? You could bring Northern Qi to its doom with just one word."
With the emperor being a woman, which was a weakness, the Northern Qi Dynasty was indeed in danger of collapsing at any time.
Li Chang'an savored the medicinal taste in the wine. "Holy Maiden, the quality of the medicine you used is too poor. Couldn't you have used something of a higher standard?"
Haitang felt a chill run down her spine. These medicines were given to her by the young emperor, and they must have been prepared by experts, so their quality was definitely not low.
She smiled smugly, "Anyway, no drug can bewitch you, so why waste your money?"
"This holy maiden simply cannot swallow this insult and must avenge the loss of this medicine."
Things were going according to Haitang's plan, and she was very happy.
Li Chang'an could not possibly be charmed, so the young emperor's plan was bound to fail.
Afterwards, Li Chang'an and Haitang chatted about martial arts for a while.
Haitang, a disciple of a grandmaster, discovered that Li Chang'an's martial arts skills were indeed extraordinary, and even his casual remarks were insightful and useful.
In the distance, Zhan Doudou, in Haitang's bedroom, was secretly peeking out the window.
Her black hair was completely loose, and she had even taken a bath.
"Why hasn't Li Chang'an collapsed yet? The divine medicine from Japan, secretly presented by Duke Zheng, has no effect!"
"Could it be that Li Chang'an secretly broke through to the ninth rank, rendering the medicine ineffective against him?"
Just as Zhan Doudou was wondering, she suddenly saw Li Chang'an's body begin to sway and then fall backward.
"It's done! Li Chang'an, I'll make you pay today!"
Haitang, sitting opposite Li Chang'an, was so angry that she rolled her eyes.
"Li Chang'an, stop pretending!"
"It's just the two of us drinking, why are you pretending to be drunk!"
Li Chang'an mumbled incoherently, "The medicine won't work for me..."
But you drank too much tonight... Congratulations on getting revenge for that drug!
Haitang is numb!
"Li Chang'an, do you think I'm stupid?!"
"If medicine is useless, then alcohol is even less effective!"
Haitang squatted down in front of Li Chang'an and patted his face.
"Your skin is really good... The Grandmaster who used the staff last time also had excellent skin."
"People from Nanqing really know how to take care of themselves... Wait! What am I doing! Have I drunk too much?"
"Li Chang'an, stop pretending! If you're going to fake being drunk, don't do it today!"
Just as Haitang was about to shake Li Chang'an awake, she heard the young emperor calling her loudly from afar.
"Haitang, it's getting late, let's get some rest!"
Helpless, Haitang could only carry Li Chang'an towards her room.
She was certain that Li Chang'an was pretending to be drunk.
However, Haitang couldn't figure out how he knew!
Haitang placed Li Chang'an on her bed, then glanced at the stunningly beautiful Zhan Doudou.
"Be gentle, don't break my bed."
That bastard Li Chang'an made a fortune tonight.
Afterwards, Haitang walked out of the courtyard and ordered all the palace guards nearby to disperse to a distance of a hundred feet to keep watch.
But she herself couldn't go too far away; she had to protect Zhan Doudou.
It's heartbreaking to hear about the little emperor being tortured tonight!
In Haitang's bedroom, the lights were on, and Zhan Doudou sat smugly on the edge of the bed.
With Zhan Doudou's stubborn vow, the final conquest began, filled with both pain and anticipation.
Haitang, sitting next door, frowned as she listened to Zhan Doudou's painful moans, feeling extremely agitated.
"Your Majesty, why make things difficult for yourself!"
"Li Chang'an, you are utterly shameless!"
……
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, wincing in pain, but still feeling as if she had won a victory.
She gasped for breath, "Hmph! No matter how capable you are, you'll still be at my mercy!"
……
She almost couldn't catch her breath, and was horrified!
Li Chang'an woke up; the miraculous medicine had failed!
Sure enough, Li Chang'an opened his eyes, but his expression was one of extreme pain.
Zhan Doudou was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. "You're getting off so easy today? What kind of expression is that?!"
Li Chang'an gritted his teeth and said, "You're strangling me!"
Chapter 121 Reaching the Pinnacle of Artistic Charm! The Gate of Reincarnation! Han Xin, the God of War! (33)
Li Chang'an has reclaimed a lot of wasteland and is quite experienced.
This young empress has lofty ambitions, but fortunately, Li Chang'an knows that a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
Hearing Li Chang'an's complaints, Zhan Doudou felt a pang of sadness and punched him hard in the chest a few times.
"How can you blame me? It hurts so much!"
Li Chang'an said patiently, "It's alright. After a short period of pain, what remains is lasting pleasure."
The Zhan family's genes are indeed excellent; Zhan Pianpian is charming and lovely, and Zhan Doudou is also stunningly beautiful.
Zhan Doudou frowned slightly, her expression melancholy, giving her a pitiful look.
Li Chang'an handled her gently.
……
She bit Li Chang'an's shoulder and held him tightly, trying to stop him from doing so.
Despite being drenched in sweat, Zhan Doudou remained defiant, declaring, "I...I want to be on top!"
Li Chang'an refused her request, saying, "There is absolutely no such possibility!"
It was raining and windy all night.
The crabapple tree next door, its eyelids drooping, was kept awake all night by the noise.
At dawn, there was noise coming from next door again.
"This time, I must be on top!"
"That depends on whether you can hold on until the end!"
After a long while, Zhan Doudou was the first to give in.
Haitang didn't care about the awkwardness; all three of them knew each other perfectly well.
