Chapter 500: Gaining a Foothold
Qin Mingyue's misty eyes widened in shock. She murmured in disbelief, "How could the king treat the Qin family like this? Not to mention my father's tireless efforts in expanding his territory, but even my aunt is his queen, and he doesn't care?"
A look of sadness flashed across Queen Wu's face. King Wu really disappointed her.
Qin Tianhao quickly calmed down and said, "Queen, don't you have a great perfume maker? Invite her over. I have something to ask her!"
Soon, the ugly ghost was brought in front of Qin Tianhao.
He asked in a deep voice, "Since you have the ability to make incense, do you have any kind of incense that can make people lose their minds and easily extract the truth?"
The ugly ghost glanced at Queen Wu and saw her nod slightly before he answered respectfully, "Yes, it's the Western Region Mandragora. Once it's lit, within half an hour, anyone who smells the fragrance will be tricked into telling the truth!"
Qin Tianhao's eyes were immediately filled with anticipation, and he urged anxiously, "Then why are you still hesitating, Queen? Hurry and get this incense for the king to use!"
Queen Wu looked at him dissatisfiedly: "Brother, you are confused. I am his queen. Do you think he won't doubt me after he wakes up? I don't want him to have any grudges against me!"
Qin Tianhao couldn't help but persuade him: "Even if he knew, what can he do? Your son is his only heir. As long as you let Ning Lei plead for you, he won't punish you. Besides, don't you still have the Qin family to rely on?"
Queen Wu frowned and interrupted, "That won't do either. No matter what, I absolutely cannot intervene in this matter. I don't want to implicate Ning Lei!"
Qin Tianhao was silent for a long time before he set his eyes on his beautiful daughter. He asked tentatively, "Mingyue, how about you go?"
Qin Mingyue nodded: "Okay, for my aunt and the Qin family, Mingyue is willing to go to the bureau!"
As night fell, King Wu was in his study checking the details of the peace talks sent by the Sheng Dynasty.
This time, Sheng Chao showed him great sincerity, which made him very happy.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, almost unable to suppress it.
Suddenly, the guard's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Miss Qin requests an audience!"
Wu Guojun quickly lowered the corners of his lips, put on a sad expression again, and then said quietly: "Let her in!"
Qin Mingyue walked in quickly, carrying a food box. She said sweetly, "Your Majesty, Mingyue made you a calming soup. It uses only the finest ingredients. Please drink a bowl!"
After saying that, she opened the food box on her own without waiting for King Wu's consent.
Her skin was originally fair, and at this moment, her slender wrist holding the soup spoon revealed the girl's ultimate beauty.
King Wu swallowed subconsciously, but after a moment, he thought of something and immediately looked away.
He said in a serious tone, "Mingyue, it's so late, you don't have to bother making soup for me anymore. Go back and rest, I'll drink it when I'm done!"
Qin Mingyue's movements suddenly stopped. She raised her tearful eyes and asked, "Lord, are you blaming Mingyue too? You weren't like this before!"
As soon as she finished speaking, tears began to roll down her cheeks.
King Wu couldn't bear to hear the little girl crying so weakly, and he immediately panicked.
He quickly stood up and walked around to her and said, "Why are you crying, kid? Don't you just want me to drink the soup? I'll listen to you and drink it right away!"
He reached out, picked it up, and poured it into his mouth.
Qin Mingyue suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, Your Majesty, why are you so anxious? It's still hot!"
Unexpectedly, her reminder was too late.
After King Wu poured the food into his mouth, he vomited it all out with a roar.
Qin Mingyue was so scared that she quickly took a handkerchief to help him wipe the stains on his body, and even squatted on the ground.
A faint fragrance immediately wafted into King Wu's nose, causing him to become momentarily confused.
He couldn't help but say, "Mingyue, you smell so good!"
Qin Mingyue froze and quickly took a half step back.
Her face flushed as she said, "My Lord, I'm sorry. It was Mingyue who made your clothes dirty. How about I help you change into another one?"
King Wu frowned, and for some reason his head suddenly felt dizzy.
He subconsciously waved his hand to refuse: "No, you go back first, I'm a little tired!"
Seeing him walking towards the bed, Qin Mingyue immediately followed him and supported him: "Your Majesty, I see that you don't look well."
The girl's touch made him stagger. He pulled Qin Mingyue hard and pressed her down on the bed.
Because the clothes under her cloak were already thin, when he pressed her down, the surging fluid hidden under the thin clothes covered King Wu's entire face.
"Hmm!" King Wu immediately groaned in comfort.
Qin Mingyue was both angry and anxious. She came here to get the truth, not to sacrifice herself!
She quickly pushed Wu Guojun away and said, "Your Majesty, don't do this. You must not let your aunt see this!"
Lord Wu blinked at her and said, "If you really cared about your aunt's opinion, would you still dare to enter my lord's study? Mingyue? You are very brave!"
Qin Mingyue bit her lip hard in grievance. She struggled hard: "Lord, how could you think of Mingyue like this?"
She was extremely confused at this time. The perfume maker said that as long as King Wu was no longer in his right mind, she could get the truth out of him.
But he actually became presumptuous towards her, and she couldn't break free from his grip at all!
How can this be good?
Is it going to fail at the last moment?
Just when she was feeling upset, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Her whole body suddenly froze. It turned out that it was King Wu who kissed her.
She refused anxiously: "No, no!"
King Wu was thrown to the ground without warning. He frowned innocently and asked, "Queen, how could you do this to your own king?"
Qin Mingyue was shocked. Queen?
It turns out that he actually thinks of himself as the queen?
That's easy to say, the medicine must be taking effect!
She didn't hesitate any longer and spoke quickly, "Your Majesty, it's not that I refuse you, but how can we do such an intimate thing at this moment? The Saint just passed away, and she is the sister you respect the most!"
Wu Guojun shook his head: "My sister cares about me the most. She won't blame me for such a small matter. Besides, we are husband and wife. What's the big deal about doing these intimate things?"
Seeing him rushing towards her again, Qin Mingyue immediately hid to the side.
Wu Guojun's expression suddenly turned ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Queen, what's wrong with you? You are not behaving well today!"
Qin Mingyue choked up and said, "It's not that I'm not obedient, but I really don't want the Saint's soul to be in turmoil. But you, Your Majesty, don't care. Are you hiding something from me? The Saint, she's not dead at all?"
