Chapter 195 Dreaming of becoming emperor
Cang Zhihe gave him a light punch on the chest with a forced smile.
"Lord Liu is so vigorous and energetic, even Zhihe almost couldn't handle it!"
I almost felt nauseous after saying that.
Liu Taiqing narrowed his eyes and smiled smugly, then pinched Cang Zhihe's waist again, his brows furrowing.
"Your waist... seems a bit thicker than before?"
Cang Zhihe immediately got up from his embrace, put on her outer robe, and pretended to be angry.
"Hmph! Men really do forget about their partners once they've pulled up their pants. I haven't even gotten out of bed yet, and the prefect is already complaining about Zhihe."
Feeling uneasy, she secretly measured her waist with her hand.
Damn it! It really has gotten bigger!
Why did these side effects appear so quickly?!
Liu Taiqing had no suspicions and thought it was just his imagination, so he immediately sat up to coax her.
"Alright, alright, my beauty, don't be angry."
His eyes darted around. "When will you present this treasure map to our county?"
Cang Zhihe wasn't stupid either.
She didn't tell Liu Taiqing that the real treasure map was on her.
What if he fails to implant the poison? Wouldn't I have slept with him for nothing?
From the very beginning, she decided to fool him with fake pictures.
Once she becomes the Regent's Consort, Liu Taiqing will be able to kill her at will!
Cang Zhihe suppressed the glint in her eyes and leaned gently into Liu Taiqing's arms: "Later, Zhihe will have a maid bring the blueprints over."
Liu Taiqing nodded in satisfaction, "Then I will wait."
"My beauty, you'd better hurry up."
"With this map, I can then help you plant the Gu, right?"
Cang Zhihe sneered inwardly.
The next day.
Liu Taiqing paced anxiously in the courtyard.
A man in black climbed over the wall and came in.
Liu Taiqing's eyes lit up, and he rushed over. "How is it? Is there a mineral vein at the place where the treasure map is located?"
Yesterday, Cang Zhihe had already sent a maid to deliver the map.
However, he wouldn't be so foolish as to easily believe Cang Zhihe.
Therefore, as soon as he got the treasure map, he sent people to verify its authenticity.
The man in black took out a cloth bag from his pocket, opened it, and held the contents up to Liu Taiqing.
"I've investigated, and there is indeed treasure!"
Liu Taiqing leaned forward and sniffed the pile of things, then rubbed them with his hands, his pupils suddenly dilating.
"It really is material for making gunpowder!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
He couldn't help but burst into laughter, then suddenly covered his mouth and whispered, "Good, good! Cang Zhihe really didn't lie to me!"
He was so excited that he was trembling all over.
Who would have thought that Liu Taiqing would have such good fortune today!
Soon the world will belong to the Liu family!
Liu Taiqing rubbed his hands together, unable to contain his excitement, pacing back and forth. "Quick! Quickly send a team to mine the vein! We must produce the first batch of gunpowder before Helian Kuangmo sends anyone!"
He gave instructions to the man in black.
"Remember, this must be done in secret. Under no circumstances should the Regent find out!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
The man in black turned and left the courtyard.
As soon as he landed outside the wall, he removed the human skin mask, revealing his solitary face.
He took off his outer robe, revealing the guard uniform underneath, and walked into the Jun Ce Courtyard with a contented expression.
Hmph, my lord's plan is truly brilliant.
He had anticipated Cang Zhihe and Liu Taiqing's thoughts and prepared the gunpowder materials well in advance. He was just waiting for Liu Taiqing's guard to set off, intercept him halfway, and then make him impersonate the guard to report back.
Neither Cang Zhihe nor Liu Taiqing are currently in the dark.
When Helian Kuangmo's men arrive, we'll use Cang Zhihe's fake treasure map to deceive them, and then have Liu Taiqing corroborate it. It's killing two birds with one stone, enough to fool even the gods!
Our Lord truly lives up to his name!
The lone figure sighed to itself, then suddenly shook its head.
Alas, what a pity.
Such a brilliant mind, yet he was childless and had no one to pass on his genes!
It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent!
He looked up and sighed.
……
Liu Taiqing was dreaming of becoming emperor in the courtyard.
"Quickly, bring the wine!" he excitedly ordered his servants.
Cang Zhihe was quite sensible. Since she was so sincere, he would help her plant the love potion!
She's right.
If the regent truly listens to her, it might not be a bad thing for her!
We need to get this done quickly!
Thinking of this, he stopped drinking and quickly called to the servant who was about to leave, "Go and bring me my treasured Daughter's Red wine! Also, go and send a message to the Regent, saying that I have urgent business to discuss with him!"
After a stick of incense.
Liu Taiqing stood with his hands clasped in front of Jun Ce.
"Prefect Liu has arrived at just the right time."
Jun Ce sat down and, before Liu Taiqing could speak, pushed a blueprint over.
He tapped the table lightly with his large hand.
"I have obtained the treasure map from Miss Cang. Prefect Liu can lead the team to search for the mine today."
Liu Taiqing picked up the drawing with suspicion, and his eyes narrowed suddenly after he saw the map drawn on the paper.
This treasure map is completely different from the one Cang Zhihe gave her.
It's clearly fake!
Unexpectedly, Cang Zhihe really mistook the Regent for an enemy and tried to fool him with this fake picture!
Now it seems she really is on my side.
Liu Taiqing was in a great mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty! Your subordinate will definitely lead the Moon Shadow Guard to the mine!"
He lowered his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
This is a good opportunity to transfer the Regent's secret guards away, so that he doesn't discover the real mine!
Jun Ce observed his expression and asked calmly, "Prefect Liu, what business did you have with me just now?"
Liu Taiqing then raised his head, placed the basket beside him on the table, and said with a fawning expression, "It's nothing serious, I just got a few jars of good wine and was thinking of presenting them to the Regent."
Jun Ce braced himself on the sides of the chair and leaned back lazily. "You're very thoughtful."
He pinched his eyebrows.
Seeing that he looked a little tired, Liu Taiqing immediately took out a jar of wine, walked to his side, and poured him wine with an empty bowl.
"The Regent shall have a taste of this century-old Daughter's Red wine."
The wine is poured into a bowl, its rich aroma filling the air.
Jun Ce raised his chin slightly, not stopping him. Liu Taiqing took the opportunity to release the Gu worm as he put away the wine jar. The Gu worm crawled into Jun Ce's clothes through his sleeve.
Upon seeing this, Liu Taiqing glanced at Jun Ce.
He had his eyes slightly closed, his face handsome and indifferent, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
Liu Taiqing was overjoyed, thinking the matter was settled.
"Then I will not disturb the Regent's drinking any longer."
"Subordinates retire."
He placed the wine jar on the table and left leisurely.
Almost the instant he turned around, Jun Ce suddenly opened his eyes. His dark pupils were no longer lazy and tired; instead, they were cold and sharp like a blade.
He raised his right hand and swiftly unleashed a gust of wind towards the back of Liu Taiqing's neck.
A worm instantly burrowed into his flesh.
"hiss--"
Liu Taiqing suddenly felt as if he had been pricked by a needle on the back of his neck.
He reached out and touched it, but found nothing unusual. He turned to look at Jun Ce and saw him still leaning back in his chair, pretending to be asleep. He shook his head and walked towards the door.
