Chapter 101: Lady Mingzhu acknowledges the master, does Lady Humeiren also want to call the master?
“Well, does Sister Mingzhu not recognize me anymore?”
Lady Humeiren, who came out from the darkness, blinked her eyes with infinite charm, exuding a mischievous scent.
The smile at the corner of her mouth was genuine, her figure was graceful, and she was stunningly beautiful!
But such a beautiful smile and such a beautiful face seemed more terrifying to Lady Mingzhu than a devil.
“You… you… when did you come?”
Her voice was trembling uncontrollably!
Li Mo said that Emperor Han would definitely not believe it.
But if Lady Humeiren testified, it would be different!
“Of course, I just came in with the master.”
Lady Humeiren’s foxy eyes flashed with a smile.
The narrowed corners of her eyes bloomed like peach blossoms.
Under the peach-colored palace skirt, her slender waist was tender, and her slender jade legs moved lightly step by step towards Li Mo.
With a face like a flower and a waist like a willow, she was indeed a fox spirit who could charm with every smile and frown!
“Just now… just now…”
Lady Mingzhu’s face turned pale.
She retreated a few steps and fell back onto her seat!
“Who are you, and how do you know… know about our plan?”
She slowly turned her head, breathing heavily as she looked at Li Mo.
The fear in her heart had spread throughout her body.
Even her gaze at him was trembling!
Ji Wuye’s plan could not be known to outsiders.
Those involved were absolutely trustworthy people in their Nightfall circle.
After all, it was of great importance.
If the news leaked, it would be a minor setback.
It’s not just about killing Emperor Han; it’s about being accused of rebellion!
She couldn’t understand it no matter what.
This unknown Liu Sha, this Li Mo whom his eyes couldn’t even see.”l
How did he know about this!
Li Mo remained expressionless and did not answer her implication.
Incredible, isn’t it?
Unbelievable, isn’t it?
Then let the fear slowly consume you!
In fact, Lady Humeiren was also curious about how Li Mo knew that Ji Wuye would arrange for someone to assassinate Emperor Han tonight.
At that time, she was taking a bath with Lady Hu in the bathhouse.
Li Mo suddenly popped up and asked her to get dressed.
It’s a good thing he’s blind.
Otherwise, wouldn’t they have been fully exposed!
Li Mo shook his head at Lady Mingzhu, calm as a still well: “You’re not qualified to know.”
Lady Mingzhu no longer had the mind to care about how difficult his words sounded. Her snow-white, slender neck moved, and she swallowed nervously, asking, “What… what do you want?”
Li Mo brought Lady Humeiren here, discovered his intentions, but still hadn’t called the guards until now. That meant he wasn’t here to protect Emperor Han. He wasn’t here to kill her either! Instead… it was a threat!
Yes, he wanted to use this to threaten her!
Li Mo pursed his lips and said bluntly, “To be mine.”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
Lady Mingzhu and Lady Humeiren were both stunned!
Lady Humeiren’s slightly raised fox eyes were full of confusion.
No way, you’re taking such a big risk, dragging me over here, just to… just to covet Lady Mingzhu’s body?
Lady Mingzhu was also dumbfounded!
Do I have such great charm?
After all your busywork, all you want is me?
Li Mo knew they misunderstood.
Awkwardly clearing his throat, he said, “Not to be mine, but to be at my service.”
“Uh, is there a difference?”
Lady Humeiren blinked at him, giving him a knowing look.
You don’t need to explain; I understand.
Though Lady Mingzhu’s thoughts were a bit wicked, she had to admit, this was indeed a rare beauty!
Li Mo sighed.
He explained again, “I want you to assist me in the future. Do you understand now?”
Finally, these two beauties, whose brains seemed to have short-circuited from shock, understood.
“Assist you? With what?”
While Lady Mingzhu felt relieved, she also felt a bit disappointed. It meant that in his eyes, she wasn’t as appealing as whatever he wanted her to do.
Don’t you know my charm, Lady Mingzhu?
A couple of hums from me, and I guarantee you’ll be smitten!
Li Mo knew what she was thinking.
Do you think I’ll let you off the hook with just one or two tasks?
It’s not that easy!
“Not just anything, but whatever I ask you to do in the future, you’ll have to do it.”
Lady Mingzhu’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Would you have me betray the Nightfall, betray Ji Wuye?”
Her face turned pale, and she shook her head forcefully. “No, no, if Ji Wuye finds out, he’ll kill me.”
Li Mo sneered, “You’re afraid Ji Wuye will kill you, but you’re not afraid Emperor Han will kill you, or that I’ll kill you?”
Lady Mingzhu still shook her head.
Refusing to betray the Nightfall wasn’t because of her loyalty to them or to Ji Wuye.
She was one of the Four Evils of the Nightfall, and she knew better than anyone the power and terror of the Nightfall.
Half of the officials in the court were under their control, and there were countless assassins in the shadows.
She didn’t even know if there were spies from Ji Wuye around her!
Li Mo sighed, “Well, there’s no other way. I gave you the opportunity, but you didn’t cherish it.”
“Humeiren, go wake up Emperor Han.”
“Let him see with his own eyes what his most beloved consort is really like.”
With a seductive smile on her lips, Humeiren cast a meaningful glance at Li Mo.
Her petal-like lips moved gently, “Alright.”
After speaking, she walked towards the long table against the wall.
She reached out her fair fingers and picked up a pinch of incense ash from the censer.
Where there are poisonous snakes, there must be antidotes within seven steps.
And this incense ash was a way to instantly awaken someone from the intoxication.
Lady Mingzhu panicked at the sight.
If Emperor Han woke up, she would have no excuse.
“Alright, alright, I promise you, I promise you!”
“You, you tell her to put down the incense ash.”
She pleaded incoherently with Li Mo.
Perhaps there was still room for negotiation after agreeing!
As long as she was more careful in the future, Ji Wuye might not even find out!
But if she didn’t agree, this man would never let her go today, and she would definitely die!
Humeiren looked back at Li Mo.
Seeing him nod, she then threw the incense ash back into the censer, clapped her hands, and returned to his side with the ash.
She looked at him with curiosity in her eyes.
How did this man know that she understood these things?
Strange!
He really was inscrutable.
Li Mo crossed his arms, looking down at Lady Mingzhu, who had lost all color in her face.
With a superior tone, he said, “Now, shouldn’t you call me master?”
Lady Mingzhu looked uncomfortable.
Call him master?
Even after joining the Nightfall, she had never called anyone that way!
She hated Li Mo so much that her teeth itched.
Is there anyone who insults people like you?
Insulting my dignity, you might as well insult my body!
Humei looked at Lady Mingzhu with a playful gaze.
Looks like there’s something interesting about this!
She had never called anyone that before either!
I wonder how it would feel to call him that.
“Hmm?”
Li Mo waited silently for a moment, frowning with displeasure.
Lady Mingzhu bit her lip.
Just call him, no one will die!
Not calling him will definitely lead to someone’s death!
“M… master…”
She almost choked out the words from her mouth.
Before Li Mo could say anything, Humei, next to him, suddenly said teasingly, “It seems like I didn’t hear it clearly. Sir, did you hear it?”
Lady Mingzhu glared at her with disdain.
What’s your business, you seductive fox?
I’ll deal with you sooner or later!
Li Mo remained noncommittal, “Your attitude isn’t quite respectful.”
“Forget it, since you won’t obey, then I might as well kill you.”
Lady Mingzhu was startled by his words.
They had just agreed, so why did he suddenly talk about killing someone?
She knelt on the seat.
Her hands were placed flat on her plump thighs, and she bowed her head respectfully, saying, “This subordinate, Mingzhu, greets the master.”
Humei covered her mouth and laughed like tinkling bells.
It seemed quite amusing indeed.
Being called by Lady Mingzhu like that made her want to try it too.
But…
She didn’t have a master, so there was no one to call.
The palace was quite large, so there was no need to worry about others hearing if they didn’t shout loudly.
Li Mo nodded gently and extended his hand towards Lady Mingzhu.
Lady Mingzhu looked at him in surprise.
Is the master… going to help me up?
She felt a stir in her heart. Was he just testing my attitude earlier, to see if I would obey?
Yes, that must be it!
“The antidote? What are you staring at?”
Li Mo flicked his hand, bringing Lady Mingzhu back from her reverie.
Lady Mingzhu was dumbfounded, “Ant… antidote? What antidote?”
Wasn’t he going to help me up?
Li Mo pursed his lips, “The antidote for the Tianze poison.”
Since she was the one who poisoned Tianze, the antidote must be with her.
Lady Mingzhu’s heart skipped a beat!
She looked at him in shock.
Only she and Ji Wuye knew about poisoning Tianze.
Not even Tianze himself knew he was poisoned.
So how did he know?
Lady Mingzhu’s mind was in turmoil.
Who exactly is this master of mine?
