Yin Tingyan frowned. "Empress, in a month's time, I will announce to the world that I will be choosing talent in the harem. At that time, I hope that the empress can take on the responsibility of the harem master and help me solve my problems."
"Oh..." Xia Ling smiled.
Yin Tingyan's expression had just softened.
Xia Ling: "That's impossible."
Yin Tingyan's softened expression froze on his face.
Coming back to his senses, he controlled his urge to hit someone. He stared at the woman's curved lips under the moonlight.
He said stiffly: "This is not a negotiation. I'm just informing you that I am the ruler of a country. It's impossible for you to be the only woman in the harem."
Xia Ling said meaningfully: "No, you will always have me as your only woman."
She would not be as stupid as the original owner in the plot. She would wait until Yin Tingyan chose those beautiful women to enter the palace. Then, she would torture them and raise a Gu to cast on Yin Tingyan.
Since we are going to cast the Gu, we should do it quickly and without waiting at all.
In the plot, if Shangguan Ling had cast the love Gu on Yin Tingyan after his wedding, it would be impossible for the foreign beauty to remove the Gu when she wanted to!
After a certain amount of time, the love Gu would become a Gu that could never be removed. It could only be removed by connecting the mind and heart.
In the pavilion under the moonlight, Yin Tingyan stood there in a black brocade robe, staring at Xia Ling with his eyes rolling back and forth.
He was a wise emperor, but he had never been able to understand a woman's thoughts.
Xia Ling, who was sitting behind the stone table, lowered her eyes and picked up a piece of cake to eat. Under the moonlight, her fair hands looked beautiful.
She opened her lips slightly and bit down on the cake. It was obviously an ordinary action, but a woman under the moonlight was beautiful in every way. She even had a seductive charm.
Yin Tingyan's throat dried up, and he suddenly woke up.
How could he fall in love with such a vicious woman? So what if she was beautiful?
Her vicious actions, her willful bullying of palace maids, and her unbridled tyranny in the palace, how could he forget just because of this beautiful skin?
"Empress, don't think that you are the only concubine in the harem!" Yin Tingyan's face was cold. "The matter of a beautiful woman must be carried out!"
Yin Tingyan flicked his sleeves and left.
In the pavilion, Xia Ling slowly finished eating the pastry in her hand before wiping her hands with a handkerchief and getting up.
Yin Tingyan and she weren't the only ones in the imperial garden.
It was just that the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were hiding quite far away.
As soon as Xia Ling came down, the palace maids came over to welcome her. They lowered their heads and walked respectfully beside Xia Ling.

After leaving Yin Tingyan in anger, Xia Ling returned to the Phoenix Perch Palace and ordered the palace door to be closed. She was sure that she was the only one in the palace.
She found a small box made of red sandalwood in Shangguan Ling's dressing cabinet.
The box was opened and inside was a bright and beautiful pearl.
Xia Ling bit her fingertip and dripped her blood on it. Soon, black insect shadows appeared on the pearl.
In the end, the insect shadows turned from virtual to real and directly bit through the outer shell of the pearl. They flapped their insect wings and crawled out from inside, lying on Xia Ling's fingertip and sucking her blood.
The Gu worm could be seen with the naked eye turning from shriveled to full, its pitch-black outer shell faintly showing a bright red color.
This love Gu... ... This was also Xia Ling's first time seeing it ...
But to be honest, it was really ugly. Thinking of having to raise such a thing in her body, Xia Ling could not help but stroke the goosebumps on her arms.
She put the love Gu into the bright night pearl on the bed curtain as per the plot.
