Chapter 1242: Prince Li Extra: Concubine Dong’s plan

Because the Dong family was captured, there was no need to hide the news that Murong Zheng had woken up from poisoning.

Even though she dismissed the court the next day because of Murong Zheng's health, Concubine Dong Guifei still learned about Murong Zheng's detoxification.

Wan Gonggong knelt tremblingly outside the wall of Qingliang Hall, and with a trembling voice, told Concubine Dong Gui that Murong Zheng had woken up.

"My Lady, is that imperial edict true or false? If it is false, both of us will be dead."

After talking about Murong Zheng, Eunuch Wan finally couldn't help but ask.

A false imperial edict is enough to kill him. If this imperial edict is related to the great Zhou Dynasty and the inheritance of the throne, then dying a hundred times is not enough.

He now desperately wanted Concubine Dong to give him a definite answer, confirming that the imperial edict was written by the emperor.

When he announced the decree, he was very sure. After all, the emperor was so affectionate towards Concubine Dong Gui. In order to make her happy, it was possible to write any kind of imperial decree.

But he didn't know why. Ever since he heard the news that Murong Zheng had woken up, he had become extremely flustered. He always felt that the imperial edict was a little weird, but he couldn't find the reason.

When she heard the news that Murong Zheng had woken up, Concubine Dong's whole body felt cold. She did not expect that Murong Zheng would be so lucky.

She held her trembling hands tightly, and all she could think about was Murong Zheng. If Murong Zheng came to question her, how would she answer? If Murong Zheng really wanted to punish herself, what would she do...

If it was before, she felt that even if she got into big trouble, she could solve it perfectly by acting coquettishly, but now...

She was a little unsure of Murong Zheng's heart, especially since Murong Zheng had been bewitched by that bitch Queen.

So, how to escape this time...

"My dear concubine, is that imperial edict left to you by the emperor? Does the emperor really want the fourth prince to be the heir apparent?"

Eunuch Wan couldn't hear what was said within the palace wall, and he was extremely anxious. The silence stretched the panic in his heart indefinitely.

"My dear concubine, please tell me what's going on. Tell me, and I'll work with you to find a way to deal with it."

"Your Majesty, if this imperial edict is false, we will only die. I, my slave..."

Because there was no answer from Dong, Eunuch Wan's heart gradually pointed towards the truth.

"Why are you so anxious? Do you think I have been in this palace for more than ten years only because of the emperor?" Because of the panic in her heart, she was even more impatient with Eunuch Wan's cries.

"Then Madam, if there is anything you need me to do, tell me, and I will do it right away." Eunuch Wan asked softly with a trembling voice, but deep down in his heart, he was thinking about what if Concubine Dong Gui really did something heinous. Do you want to go to the emperor with such a matter? That way, you seem to have a glimmer of hope.

Yes, just do this. No matter what Concubine Dong wants to do, he will tell the emperor.

In that way, you will be guilty and meritorious, and you will have a chance to survive.

"I will write a letter later and you can send it to my nephew Dong Lanyang. He should be in Kyoto now."

Concubine Dong Gui obviously had a plan in her heart.

"Okay, my dear, please hurry up and write a letter. I will find a way to send it out." Wan Eunuch was very excited after hearing Concubine Dong's words.

Not long after, a letter was handed out from the hole in the wall.

"Go to the imperial dining room and contact Xiao Lizi and ask our people to cooperate with my nephew's actions today. If we succeed this time, I will never treat you badly."

Concubine Dong's promise sounded very tempting, but even Eunuch Wan was doubtful of her words.

The Dong family is the emperor's ministers. How powerful can they be? The palace is the emperor's palace. How many connections does Concubine Dong have? Their confrontation with the emperor is like an egg against a stone.

Eunuch Wan was a smart man and knew how to choose, so soon after, Concubine Wan Guifei's letter was delivered to Murong Zheng.
