Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 118 The Favored Nan Ruoqing

"Damn it! How dare someone sneak attack me? Who did it? Nan Ruoming was filled with anger and confusion. He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with endless murderous intent. No one knew the value of the ice silkworm better than him. It was a treasure that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain, but now it was lost in his hands. How could he not feel distressed?

He was determined to find the abominable attacker, so he immediately activated the hidden troops he had been laying in ambush for many years. He ordered sternly: "You must find out as soon as possible who dared to attack me so boldly!"

However, the matter was not so easy to resolve. Although Nan Ruoming was extremely anxious, he could not find any clues for a while. At this time, a man who looked like a coachman suggested: "Master, I heard that there is a mysterious Wangsheng Building in the Jianghu. They seem to know everything in the world. They are the organization with the most powerful information network among the four countries. Maybe we can go there to buy relevant information."

After hearing this, Nan Ruoming frowned slightly and asked half-doubtfully, "Is this Wangsheng Building really reliable?" After all, it is not easy to pin your hopes on an unfamiliar organization.

The man hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, master. Wangsheng Tower makes a living by selling information and has always been honest and trustworthy. They have always had a good reputation among the four countries, and the information they provide is very accurate." Hearing this, Nan Ruoming's eyes relaxed a little.

After some thought, Nan Ruoming finally decided to give it a try. He thought that it would be great if he could get some clues about the attacker from the Wangsheng Building. So he asked the man to go to the Wangsheng Building, hoping to solve the mystery.

"I'm assigning you to do this now. You must get the news and go to Tonghai Money House to get the silver note. Just show your ID card," Nan Ruoming instructed, then looked around and disappeared into the dark night.

"Lord Qing Gu, there is a man outside who said he wants to see you. He wants to buy first-class news in our Wangsheng Building. Do you want to see him?" The subordinate reported.

Jing Zichu, who was wearing a fox mask, said with an unclear look in his eyes, "Wangsheng Tower doesn't do business with him. Go out and tell him, first-class news, his identity is not qualified. Let someone with a qualified identity come and buy it."

"I didn't expect Nan Ruoming to have lost the ice silkworm. It looks like the ice silkworm is most likely in Zimo's hands. I have to go back and discuss it with Zimo as soon as possible," Jing Zichu muttered to himself.

"Zimo, Nan Ruoming activated the secret agents in Kyoto and sent people to the Wangsheng Building to buy clues about the lost ice silkworm, but the ice silkworm has been obtained," Jing Zichu asked.

"Yes. Feng San returned to Jiangnan in the hands of your sister-in-law. Has any news come?" Yan Wuque said with a smile.

"Zi Mo, the breath of the ice silkworm is easy to track. Will my sister-in-law be in trouble?" Jing Zichu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yan Wuque comforted: "Your sister-in-law is smart and clever, she must have a way to deal with it."

Jing Zichu frowned and said, "But I'm still a little worried. Although my sister-in-law is powerful, she is facing a strong enemy like Nan Ruoming after all. Moreover, the breath of the ice silkworm is easy to track. If she is discovered..."

Yan Wuque patted Jing Zichu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. Your sister-in-law and the secret guards have successfully taken the ice silkworm back, which means they are fully prepared. Moreover, your sister-in-law also poisoned Nan Ruoming, which is enough to prove her wisdom and ability. As for the ice silkworm, as long as it is not awakened, its aura will be isolated. Your sister-in-law must have a treasure that can isolate the aura, so don't worry."

After hearing what Zimo said, Jing Zichu felt a little relieved, but he was still worried. He then asked, "What should we do now?"

Yan Wuque thought for a moment and then answered, "Send someone to keep an eye on Nan Ruoming, sell the information to him, and frame the queen."

Jing Zichu nodded in agreement. Then, he remembered something and said to Zimo, "By the way, we just found the trace of Shen Qingyun in the building. He seems to be looking for the ice silkworm as well. I wonder if it's for my sister-in-law."

Yan Wuque frowned and said, "This Shen Qingyun is really a headache. However, the relationship between him and my sister-in-law is indeed very complicated. Maybe he is really looking for ice silkworms for my sister-in-law."

Jing Zichu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do? Should we stop him?"

Yan Wuque thought for a while and said, "No need, let him go. Also, tell the people in the building to stop looking for the ice silkworm and retreat."

Emperor Suwen of the palace stayed overnight in Zhaohe Hall once again. Nan Ruoqing grew up in the imperial palace and had seen a lot of intrigues and darkness. She knew well that as a concubine, she would not be able to take a single step without the emperor's favor.

Nan Ruoqing quickly adapted to her status as a palace concubine and was very favored. Naturally, she had her own ways to please Emperor Suwen.

Nan Ruoqing looked at the rewards from Emperor Suwen that filled up the small storehouse in the Zhaohe Hall, and muttered with a gloomy expression, "Since I have chosen this path, I will manage it well. Even though there is blood and gore in the harem, I have no way back."

"Empress Qing, the emperor is here," the palace maid quickly walked into the room and reported.

"Well, go down," Nan Ruoqing said softly. No one could believe that this was the arrogant third princess of Southern Xinjiang.

Nan Ruoqing looked at her own beautiful face in the mirror, with her hair covered with pearls and jade, and she looked extremely noble. She gave a sinister and strange smile, then quickly put on a gentle and lovely smile, and walked out of the room with the help of a palace maid to greet Emperor Su Wen.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor." Nan Ruoqing performed the etiquette of the Great Yan Dynasty. In a short period of time, Nan Ruoqing had already regarded herself as a citizen of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"My beloved concubine, please get up quickly. From today on, you no longer need to kneel and kowtow before me," Emperor Su Wen said as he personally helped Nan Ruoqing up.

Nan Ruoqing leaned gently in Emperor Su Wen's arms and said, "I seem to be ill. I feel uncomfortable when I can't see Your Majesty for a day." As she spoke, she grabbed Emperor Su Wen's hand and placed it on her chest. The serving palace maid tactfully left the room.

Emperor Su Wen looked at Nan Ruoqing in his arms and was extremely happy. He felt that he was much younger again. So his old hands wandered restlessly on Nan Ruoqing's body. Soon, an embarrassing voice was heard in the room.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu's people are here to look for you. They say Imperial Concubine Shu fainted suddenly." Eunuch Liu said outside.

"Qing'er, I'm going to go see Concubine Shu and come back later to have supper with you," Emperor Su Wen said in a low voice while looking at Nan Ruoqing in his arms.

Nan Ruoqing gave a decent smile and said, "Your Majesty, please go. I will help you change your clothes." After that, Nan Ruoqing quickly got up, put on her clothes, and then served Emperor Su Wen.

Nan Ruoqing looked at Emperor Suwen's leaving back, her eyes full of loneliness, and she cursed Concubine Shu in her heart.
