Chapter 44 The beauty is so direct, so proactive!
Li Sidao smiled without saying a word, looking elsewhere.
Li Song laughed and said, "It's just a tonic to reward you!"
tonic?
I don't believe you for a second!
Xiao Shisan waved his hand: "Forget it, Young Master, keep it for yourself, no need to be polite!"
Seeing Xiao Shisan's suspicion.
Li Song gave a forced smile and said, "Steward Xiao, since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. My father is always a cautious man."
"Only if you take this will my father completely trust you."
"Don't worry, given time, if you find the treasure map with the Empress, the antidote will be given to you!"
"Furthermore, during this period, you will be appointed as the supervisor of the Western Depot."
"I wonder if Steward Xiao would be willing to cooperate with us?"
These words were spoken!
Xiao Shisan was furious.
Oh shit!
That father and son are truly insidious!
Moreover, Xiao Shisan discovered that compared to Li Yu, his elder brother Li Song and the Left Prime Minister Li Sidao were a pair of smiling tigers with hidden schemes.
I was just thinking about it.
At this time.
Xiao Shisan's ears twitched as he heard footsteps outside, indicating that someone had arrived.
They might even resort to force against me!
Xiao Shisan sneered coldly, "Prime Minister, is this really necessary? I'll help you get rid of Liu Jin, and you can even refuse to let me become the head of the Western Depot. There's no need to feed me poison, is there?"
Li Sidao remained silent and smiled.
Li Song smiled and said, "Chief Steward Xiao, you have rendered meritorious service, how can we not reward you? You must take on the role of the Western Depot Supervisor. But on the condition that you also take this poison!"
That's all!
Li Song snapped his fingers.
In an instant!
It was as if they had received a secret code.
A series of sharp, clanging sounds echoed outside, followed by the sound of a sword being drawn.
In an instant.
A group of men wielding long knives appeared in front of the main hall, all looking at Xiao Shisan with murderous intent.
"Steward Xiao!"
"The choice is yours," Li Song said with a meaningful smile, holding the black pill in his hand.
Xiao Shisan: "..."
These two things absolutely need to be eliminated!
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
It seems that if I don't take this poison, I won't be able to leave the Prime Minister's residence.
Eat first, and we'll talk to Qin Keqing about getting the antidote later!
Qin Keqing is the second wife in this household, so finding the antidote shouldn't be difficult for her.
Xiao Shisan glared angrily at Li Sidao: "Fine, I'll eat!"
That's all!
Xiao Shisan took the black pill from Li Song's hand, put it in his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. He chewed it and said, "Hey? It tastes pretty good! Do you have any more? I'd like a few!"
Li Sidao: "..."
Li Song: "..."
puff!
Li Song couldn't help but laugh: "Steward Xiao, haven't you had enough to eat?"
Xiao Shisan sighed, "Isn't it because I need to help you find that treasure map? If I have this poison, at least I can threaten others, right?"
Instantly!
Li Sidao slammed his hand on the table, laughed heartily, stood up, and waved to the outside.
Wait until those people leave.
Li Sidao then smiled and said, "Steward Xiao, you are indeed a clever man. Alright, I'll have someone send you more later. Come, bring out Chief Supervisor Xiao's robes and token."
moment!
A man stepped in, carrying a neatly folded black python robe and a waist token.
The waist tag had the words "Eastern Depot Admiral" on it.
next moment!
Li Sidao raised his voice.
"Xiao Shisan has rendered meritorious service in killing Liu Jin, the leader of the eunuch faction. By imperial decree, Xiao Shisan is promoted to Director of the Western Depot!"
"By imperial decree, you, Xiao Shisan, are now the head of the Western Depot. This has already been made public."
It was said to be an imperial edict.
Xiao Shisan understood that Li Sidao was using the emperor to command the feudal lords.
These were fabricated imperial edicts, but in reality, they were Li Sidao's own words.
"Xiao Shisan, shall we accept the reward?" Li Sidao said with a smile.
Xiao Shisan stepped forward, holding the black python robe, and faced Li Si, asking, "By the way, Prime Minister, what poison did I just ingest?"
Li Sidao remained silent.
Li Song smiled slightly and began to explain.
"This is a laughing pill!"
"This poison tastes sweet. Although there may be occasional discomfort after ingestion, it will take six months for the effects to fully manifest!"
"After the onset, I experienced unbearable itching all over my body, and my skin ulcerated, eventually reaching the bone marrow."
"Finally, its death was extremely gruesome, its face contorted as if smiling, hence the name 'Smiling Pill'!"
"However, if you are obedient and loyal to my father, you will naturally have nothing to fear."
"You can report to the West Depot tomorrow, but you can still serve the Empress in Changchun Palace."
"These are all your freedom."
Xiao Shisan: "..."
I'll get rid of you two, father and son! If I don't eliminate you in the future, I'm not Xiao Shisan!
Xiao Shisan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but he chuckled to himself.
"Thank you for letting me know!"
"By the way, I happen to be quite trusted by the Empress right now. I think we should use a softer approach and not place Her Majesty under house arrest, what does the Left Prime Minister think?"
Instantly!
Li Song looked at Li Sidao, and the father and son exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
"OK!"
Li Song looked over and said with a smile, "These are all your prerogative, Chief Supervisor Xiao, as long as you can find the whereabouts of the treasure map fragments."
So good!
Empress Pei Ruohan will surely be so moved that she'll want to take off her clothes!
The most important thing now is to get the antidote as soon as possible.
Xiao Shisan nodded: "It's nothing, I'll just..."
"please!"
Li Song waved politely toward the door.
Xiao Shisan, carrying the clothes and the token, walked towards the door.
then.
Then Li Sidao's voice came from behind, saying:
"I apologize for my rudeness just now, and I hope you won't hold a grudge, Chief Eunuch Xiao. We are cooperating, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly after the matter is completed."
Xiao Shisan: "..."
Fuck you!
They gave me poison, and now they want me to hold a grudge?
You've said both the good and the bad things?
Xiao Shisan thought bitterly to himself, "I have to get Qin Keqing to find me the antidote as soon as possible."
...
After leaving the main hall.
As Xiao Shisan walked along the corridor with Cui Quan, holding a python robe and a token, he noticed Qin Keqing's figure in a pale yellow dress standing in the corridor.
She was indeed waiting for him in the corridor, her beautiful eyes smiling, giving him a flirtatious look...
Xiao Shisan looked to his side and said, "Hehe, Cui Quan, wait for me at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. I have something to do."
"Yes, sir!"
Cui Quan clasped his hands in a fist salute and then quickly left.
After Cui Quan left.
Qin Keqing beckoned with her index finger in this direction, smiled charmingly, and then walked ahead.
Xiao Shisan understood and followed behind.
From this angle, one can see that Qin Keqing's figure is truly stunning, with a slender waist, wide hips that extend past her shoulders, and long, fair legs peeking out from under her skirt...
quickly!
Reaching a house door, she pushed it open and entered. Standing by the door, she smiled seductively and said, "Quick, come in!"
"They're here!"
Xiao Shisan, carrying the python robe and token, quickly followed in.
After entering.
I discovered that this was a study, filled with the fragrance of books, and the bookshelves were crammed with them.
The air was still filled with the pleasant fragrance of Qin Keqing, a scent that lingered from her mature body.
boom!
Qin Keqing quickly closed the door and then bolted it shut.
Xiao Shisan glanced to the side and was startled.
moment!
I saw Qin Keqing gently pull open the belt of her plain dress with her bare hand.
Her breathing was unusually rapid, her face was already flushed, mature and beautiful, her eyes were dreamy, and her bright red lips were slightly upturned.
"Xiao Shisan, put those things down quickly. Take me! Consort Xian said you're amazing, and I want to try... I haven't been with a man for years!!"
"If you don't do as I say, I'll tell everyone that you're a man."
