Chapter 329: Provocation
At this moment, I heard her suddenly change the subject:
"What if... what if I am willing to give you a chance to take revenge now?"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Lin Han stunned instantly.
All he could hear was the queen continuing to seduce him with her cunning and meaningful words: "It just so happens that the palace is organizing a grand spring hunting event recently. It's not uncommon to encounter beautiful women in the wilderness - for example, some secret affairs are even more commonplace~"
Suddenly, a bone-chilling chill ran down my spine and spread throughout my body. I tried to remain calm to hide the complex and indescribable emotions surging in my heart: "This..."
Seeing Lin Han's reaction, the queen became even more complacent: "Don't worry, dear. By then, I have considered all the details and have taken care of them myself. At that time, you only need to lure Xu Cuirong to the pre-set location and perform a wonderful show according to the instructions. After that, I will let my confidants publicly reveal the truth. At that time, not only will this delicate woman be disgraced, but her poor husband will also lose face. More importantly, you can take this opportunity to take revenge on Song Yanyi and win back the heart of the beauty at the same time!
As for how to deal with that woman afterwards, it's entirely up to you.
After a pause, she added: "As for how to deal with her problem afterwards, it is entirely up to you to decide~"
After hearing this carefully designed revenge plan, Lin Han's face turned even paler and he shook his head to refuse: "Isn't this too extreme and cruel?!"
The Queen shouted loudly, trying to stir up the resentment in Lin Han's heart, "What's there to be afraid of? Don't worry! As long as you are willing to be obedient and cooperate with all actions, I will escort you! Are you prepared to swallow your anger and live a cowardly life forever? Or never forget those who have brought you shame and pain!"
These passionate and provocative words were like a blazing fire that instantly ignited the resentment that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time, making those dusty memories come alive again and emerge in his mind, making them unforgettable.
"If you don't have this kind of courage, you should just stay in this poor and remote place for the rest of your life as an unknown county magistrate!"
"Completing this task will not only help me get my revenge, but also clear your name and wash away the humiliation! Then you can embrace the beauty and deal with the betrayer at will. I will also recommend you to return to the capital to take up a high position and let you rise to prominence!"
These tempting words made Lin Han's eyes sparkle with yearning and struggle. Seeing his hesitation, the queen showed that she had already grasped the overall situation - after all, everyone has a little desire in their hearts.
"You can go down now. I will send someone to give you detailed instructions on the specific action plan later."
"Yes, sir..." Lin Han staggered out of the palace as if his soul had left his body.
Watching the figure disappear into the distance, the queen finally returned to her usual cold and ruthless state. The personal maid Shaoyao beside her asked doubtfully: "Is your goal just to strike back at Lord Song?" The latter sneered in response: "How can a mere strike satisfy me?
If Lin Han were to die unexpectedly or fall into a coma during the spring hunt tomorrow, what do you think His Majesty would think? Who concealed the news of the Qingzhou plague? And what force dared to kill an official sent by the court? "
After hearing this analysis, Shaoyao couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out that old ginger is still spicy!"
The queen smiled with satisfaction, knowing in her heart that the threat she posed to King Xuan was growing; because the disaster in Qingzhou was entirely suppressed and covered up due to her behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Once the emperor learned that King Xuan had made no achievements in governance and that disaster relief funds had not been fully distributed, this prince, who was already in a precarious situation, would undoubtedly face even more severe challenges...
It would be better to just blame it all on Song Yanyi.
Although the King of Qi appears to be powerful on the surface, in fact, there is only one person he truly relies on, and that is Song Yanyi.
Song Yanyi's existence is like a sharp sword in the hands of King Qi, sharp but extremely dangerous. As long as this sword is removed, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of King Qi's arms. In this way, the so-called threat will naturally collapse.
"The story about the girl named Xu has long been circulated in the palace. It is said that Song Yanyi cares about this daughter from an ordinary family very much. He even went to the small town where she lived and forced her to marry him, regardless of the difference in status and family opposition. Imagine if he knew that there was another man, Lin Han, circling around his beloved, how could Song Yanyi easily let go of such a potential rival? It is conceivable that the moment he knew the truth, he would probably be consumed by endless anger and jealousy, and then take all means to eliminate anyone who dared to challenge his status and emotions."
Just as the queen wanted, a deafening horn sounded early the next morning, announcing the official start of the annual grand hunting event.
In order to accompany the emperor to participate in this grand occasion, Song Yanyi, who is usually lazy and likes leisure, had to get up early and get ready.
On the other side, his newly married wife Cui Rong was still immersed in sleep.
She tossed and turned last night and couldn't fall asleep until midnight.
Seeing his wife sleeping peacefully in his arms, he hugged her gently, kissed her soft and delicate cheek, and whispered, "Be good and lie down for a while. I will come back to see you as soon as possible after I catch a few rabbits for breakfast today."
After hearing this, Cui Rong, who was half asleep and half awake, frowned inadvertently, as if she felt a little dissatisfied with the upcoming separation. She subconsciously moved her body to get closer to her lover to seek warmth and comfort.
However, Song Yanyi had no choice but to put aside his romantic feelings temporarily, carefully got up from the bed, dressed himself, and quietly left, going to the designated gathering place to meet up with other participants and prepare for the next exciting hunting operation.
Until the scorching sun hung high in the sky, Cui Rong finally woke up slowly and found herself in a huge tent. It was silent all around, with only the chirping of birds and insects interweaving into a peaceful and dull picture.
Cuizhu was her personal maid. Seeing that the young lady had woken up, she immediately went forward to help her dress and while fixing her hair, she muttered: Today's schedule is tight. In addition to attending the banquet set up in the royal garden at noon, we will probably have to stay outside to dine and enjoy the moon in the evening.
I heard that this banquet was extremely grand and unusual because it was personally planned and prepared by the current queen, who is the mother of the country, and invited many noble ladies to spend a good night together...
