Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1044

Yun Shang] smiled. Qi Ruihai looked calm and told a lie calmly.

"Lord Qi also knows what kind of crime it is to smuggle the forbidden medicine into the palace."

Qi Ruihai nodded imperceptibly and answered in a low voice, "death penalty."

"Yes." Yun Shang smiled, "But I have to tell you the truth. Among all the directors in the imperial household, you are the most promising one. If Lord Qi can help me, I will pretend not to know about it and won't cut off your way of wealth. I'm the only one in his majesty's harem now. Lord Qi, what do you think? "

Qi Ruihai pondered for a long time and didn't respond. Yun Shang was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

After a long while, Qi Ruihai suddenly knelt down and said, "I, Qi Ruihai, am willing to work for your majesty."

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and said, "Well, Lord Qi is a man of sense. In that case, if you are loyal to me, I won't treat you unfairly. But to put it bluntly, betrayal is the last thing I want. If you betray me, I have thousands of ways to make your life worse than death. Not only you, but also the people you care about."

A hint of coldness flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, but Qi Ruihai was secretly shocked. He nodded and agreed.

After Qi Ruihai left, Qian Zhuo came in. She looked back at his back and said gently, "Your Majesty, I don't understand.

Yun Shang took a look at Qian Zhuo. There were many people around her, but not many people she could trust. Qian Zhuo was one of them. Although she was more mature than before, she still lacked a lot in dealing with things. She hoped that she could grow up quickly, so she smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me, what do you not understand?"

Qian Zhuo said, "I don't understand two things. First, you can ask someone to invite Qi Ruihai here directly. Why did you find an excuse?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang looked at the faint parrot in the bird cage aside and said softly, "Qi Ruihai is smart. If I ask him to Weiyang Palace for no reason, he will understand that I have a plan and will think of all kinds of ways to deal with it in advance. What I want is to make him unprepared."

"Let me guess. The second thing you don't understand is why I didn't mention Lady Wan and the nineteenth Prince." said Yun Shang, blinking her eyes.

Qian Zhuo nodded repeatedly. "Lady Wan is the sister of Qi Ruihai. And Qi Ruihai sneaked into the palace with the forbidden medicine forthe nineteenth Prince. The two are the best excuses to threaten Qi Ruihai to surrender, but your majesty didn't mention them at all."

Yun Shang nodded, "You're right. From what we know now, Lady Wan and the nineteenth Prince are probably the people Qi Ruihai cares most in the palace, but I only mentioned the forbidden medicine."

Seeing Qian Zhuo nod, Yun Shang asked, "Then let me ask you, what do you think of Qi Ruihai's power after so many years in the palace?"

"He must be very powerful." Qian Zhuo answered without hesitation. Yun Shang nodded, "By the way, although Qi Ruihai looks calm and self-control, it's just because I haven't touched his bottom line. He had been looking for his sister for so many years, and he had done so much for her. It could be seen that she and the nineteenth Prince were the people that Qi Ruihai cared most in the palace. If I threatened him with Lady Wan and the nineteenth Prince, I would inevitably exert too much strength, which would make Qi Ruihai feel that the two people's lives were in my hands. If he had to fight to the death, he would take advantage of his power in the palace to kill me. Although it may not be successful, this method is not good for me. On the contrary, I lost a useful person and put myself in danger."

"If Lady Wan wants the nineteenth Prince to stay away from the disputes, the pill is the key. If Qi Ruihai can't get the pill, what he has done before will be in vain. If I on purpose, Qi Ruihai would be worried that I would cut off the source of the medicine. Then I deliberately mentioned in the conditions I offered. If he is willing to work for me, I won't stop him from taking pills into the palace. This is a great temptation for him."
