Chapter 286 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-Five)
Qiao Zhi leaned casually on the recliner, looking at the person in front of him who was reading a book.
Qiao Zhi: "Prime Minister Xuan is truly unexpected, actually recommending Zhi to His Majesty the Emperor of Liang."
The man in front of him, who had taken off his official uniform and was now wearing jade-colored casual clothes, did not look up, which made Qiao Zhi raise his eyebrows and smile.
Qiao Zhi: "Prime Minister Xuan, don't you want to know what's going on in the harem?"
Qiao Zhi talked to himself. He was not the kind of person who kept things to himself. It would be boring to watch a good show but not be able to show it off to others.
What's more, Xuan Yunian is tight-lipped but has many connections. As the prime minister, he has considerable influence. Maybe Xuan Yunian already knew about the affairs of the harem, so it doesn't matter if he tells it.
Qiao Zhi: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's true that women are the most vicious. I don't know how many people Concubine Xu has offended. I guess no one wants her to give birth to a prince except for her family. Her methods, tsk, are endless!"
Qiao Zhi saw that the Liang Palace was so interesting, with not only the disputes in the harem but also spies from various countries waiting for their chance to act. He thought that this drama would probably last for a long time, so he decided to stay in Liangdu and watch the show.
Qiao Zhi: "Speaking of which, Emperor Liang underestimated his enemies. Even a doctor like me who lives in the mountains has heard of the power of the War King. I didn't expect that he has so many spies in his harem, even in Concubine Cui's palace."
Xuan Yunian paused as he was turning the pages of the book, then continued reading as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that his only listener didn't respond, Qiao Zhi curled his lips and was speechless, but his curiosity about the beauty made him continue speaking.
Qiao Zhi: "I've heard that Concubine Cui is the most beautiful woman in Liang State. I wonder what she looks like? The Cui family's daughters are always dignified and virtuous. I imagine Concubine Cui is also dignified and beautiful."
Dignified and virtuous?
Cui Li's appearance is not dignified.
She has a beautiful face, with fair skin and skin like cream. She was innocent and naive when she was young, and her appearance became more and more beautiful as she grew older. After she came of age, she became elegant and beautiful, with the nobility of a peony and the beauty of a peach blossom. Once you see her, you will never forget her.
The corners of Xuan Yunian's mouth rose slightly, so slightly that it was hard to see clearly.
Qiao Zhi thought of the woman behind the curtain. She had a pair of delicate hands, soft as if they had no bones, and her wrists were as white as snow.
If he had not been rational at the time, he might have lifted the curtain to take a peek at the beauty.
As he spoke, he looked at Xuan Yunian and found that he had not turned the page of his book yet. Prime Minister Xuan could read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he read.
Is it...
Qiao Zhi: "Prime Minister Xuan must have met Concubine Cui? Is she stunningly beautiful?"
Xuan Yunian spoke slowly and his tone did not reveal his thoughts.
Xuan Yunian: "I have seen Concubine Cui. Her beauty is beyond words. You should be cautious and control your curiosity. If you anger the emperor one day, even this appearance will not be able to save you."
Qiao Zhi: "Humph, Prime Minister Xuan is indeed acting cautiously. I am not pitying this beautiful woman. First, Concubine Xu is plotting against her, and now there are spies from Qi who want to kill her."
Xuan Yunian: "Oh? Is this true?"
Qiao Zhi: "Prime Minister Xuan is interested now? This is a secret from the harem, and His Majesty has ordered it to be kept secret."
Xuan Yunian smiled faintly, which made Qiao Zhi's eyelids twitch.
If Xuan Yunian had not saved his life, Qiao Zhi would not have had anything to do with a high-ranking official like the Prime Minister.
Qiao Zhi: "Okay, okay, this Prime Minister's Mansion is your territory, I think you will keep it secret."
Qiao Zhi: "There's a Qi spy hiding in Concubine Cui's palace for over a decade, planning to poison Concubine Cui and Emperor Liang. The poison is a secret Qi imperial medicine. If taken three times, the person will slowly die within half a month. However, because the old woman didn't find an opportunity, she only poisoned the teacup once."
Qiao Zhi: "Concubine Cui was not poisoned."
Emperor Liang was poisoned, but I am a skilled doctor and Qi's secret medicine can't do anything to me!
Qiao Zhi didn't say the last sentence.
Xuan Yunian's eyes darkened. Cui Li was so dangerous?
