Chapter 141 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
After the banquet, the Queen Mother returned to her own bedroom, still immersed in fear, unable to recover for a long time. Her heart was beating like a drum, and cold sweat was on her forehead, as if she had just experienced a terrible nightmare.
She was extremely worried and afraid, because she knew very well that if the Imperial Master found out that she was using secret techniques to manipulate the Emperor Wei's emotions, the consequences would be disastrous. Once exposed, not only would she be in a desperate situation, but she might even lose her life.
She ordered someone to bring hot water and lay in the bathtub, secretly thinking about her response, trying to find a way to cover up what she had done, or to stop the national master from telling the secret, because it seemed that the national master already knew about it.
At this moment, Queen Mother Ayi Na only had Princess Duolan, who was not her blood relative, by her side. She had no support and no snobbery. She could only pray to God silently, hoping that everything would pass safely. At the same time, she also made up her mind not to take risks easily in the future.
What should I do? Although I have successfully retrieved the Kongtong Mirror from Duolan, I cannot fully control all its power.
At present, only a small part of its functions can be stimulated through spells.
How wonderful it would be if I could manipulate the Kongtong Mirror as I wished! In this way, not only could I easily defeat the hateful state teacher, but I could also dominate the entire Wei State and become the master of the world!
However, the reality is cruel. The Kongtong Mirror does not seem to recognize itself and is out of control. No matter how hard it tries, it is difficult to tame this mysterious treasure, as if it has its own independent will.
She lay quietly in the tub, her thoughts surging like the tide. Various ideas were churning in her mind, trying to find a way to get through the difficulties. After all, only by solving this problem could she move on.
Just as she was thinking hard, a figure suddenly appeared from the secret passage. Looking closely, it turned out to be Emperor Wei! He had a serious face and sharp eyes, which seemed to be full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
"What did the Imperial Master mean when he said that to you at the banquet today?" The Emperor of Wei went straight to the point, not hiding his confusion and concern.
Ayi Na's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm on the surface and replied as if nothing had happened: "Nothing, maybe he knows about what happened between you and me, and thinks I am causing trouble in the palace?"
Her voice was calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her. However, deep down inside, she was already in turmoil and was feeling uneasy.
"Maybe they want to execute me?" Ayi Na thought to herself, but her face showed no sign of abnormality. She knew the cruelty of court struggles, and if she was not careful, she might fall into an irretrievable situation. In the face of such a situation, she must remain calm and resourceful to avoid danger.
"Who dares to execute you? I absolutely won't allow it!" The Emperor Wei's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.
For some reason, when Emperor Wei heard that someone was trying to harm Ayi Na, he felt a strong sense of pain in his heart. Over the years, he always worried about this woman inexplicably. Whenever and wherever he thought of her, his heart would be filled with ripples.
Although he knew that his behavior was inappropriate, Emperor Wei could not control his emotions. He tried to convince himself to let go of this obsession, but every time he saw Ayi Na's gentle and beautiful face, all his efforts were instantly shattered.
He knew that as a king, he should put the overall situation first and not be swayed by personal emotions. But he seemed to have a special feeling for Ayi Na that he could not let go.
Over the past few years, there was only Aina in his heart. It seemed that no other woman could enter his heart even a step, and he himself did not understand why, and did not know what kind of magic potion he had drunk.
Only Ayi Na knew the truth. It was the secret technique she used on Emperor Wei that made him like this.
For several years, no one could tell, but the National Master has come out of seclusion, and considering his level of practice, he might not be unaware of it.
If this technique is cracked or becomes ineffective for some reason, then the Emperor of Wei will suddenly realize his mistake. How will he view me then? With his cold-blooded and ruthless methods, he will definitely kill me!
She really didn't dare to think further. She was still young, she wanted a comfortable life, she didn't want to die?
She had to find a way to stop this from happening.
"Alas, our relationship is not proper after all. How about this..." Aina frowned slightly, opened her red lips, leaned close to Emperor Wei's ear, and whispered something in a clear and pleasant voice like a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of astonishment. However, he was knowledgeable after all, so he quickly calmed down and thought about it seriously.
After a while, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile: "You are quite scheming, and you came up with such a clever plan to get out of this situation. It is indeed not difficult to find a woman with a similar figure to you to replace her, but after the matter is accomplished, how will you deal with it? With what identity will you continue to live in the world?"
After saying this, Emperor Wei stared at Ayina with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through her beautiful appearance to see her true thoughts deep in her heart.
Ayi Na met his gaze without fear and said firmly: "I have my own way, your majesty, don't worry. As long as we can get rid of the current predicament and regain our freedom, it will be the greatest happiness. As for the future, let it go."
After hearing this, the Emperor of Wei was moved and admired the smart and brave woman in front of him. He couldn't help but sighed: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I will lend you a hand. I just hope that this plan can be implemented smoothly and nothing unexpected will happen..."
"No identity is important. Today, the queen looked at me with a very resentful look. I am afraid that the entire harem hates me openly or secretly. Your Majesty, please give me a way out and let me return to Zhao with the Zhao delegation first. Then you can forget about me. We have known each other for a while, and my life has not been lived in vain..."
Aina spoke with tears in her eyes, and her tears continued to flow out like a flood breaking through a dam.
She was not pretending, but was crying anxiously from the bottom of her heart. She was really anxious and crying. Perhaps the Imperial Master would find her to deal with the matter tomorrow morning.
Aina was already beautiful and charming, and when she cried she was as adorable as a pear blossom in the rain, which made the Emperor Wei feel pity for her and was moved.
At this moment, the Emperor of Wei kissed Ayi Na. Ayi Na responded enthusiastically. She had to curry favor with the Emperor of Wei and try her best to please him.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, the two seemed to have forgotten everything except each other's breathing and heartbeat. Their lips parted gently, and then slowly moved closer, as if to continue this love forever. Their bodies gradually tensed up, and their breathing became rapid. They looked at each other silently, and their eyes were full of love and tenderness.
The lights in the Queen Mother's bedroom were kept on all night.
