A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 252 Beauty's Scheme (4)

For many years thereafter, Dou Yifang was the only one favored in the Dai Palace. Bo Ji had long since stopped caring about the trivial matters in the harem. For a time, Dou Yifang was the only one in power in the Dai Palace.

Zhou Ziran couldn't accept it, but she had no choice until today's portrait made her see the possibility of overthrowing Dou Yifang. So when the palace maid returned alone, Zhou Ziran asked her to make another trip.

"I guess the Queen has something important to say to the King." Dou Yifang looked like a gentle and sweet girl. As soon as she opened her mouth, the King of Dai's expression eased a lot.

"In that case, I will go and see her. If she still has any evil intentions towards you, I will definitely take care of it for you."

As soon as the King of Dai left, Dou Yifang opened the letter from the Han Palace, which asked Dou Yifang to cooperate with Liu Ying and make the King of Dai believe that Dou Yifang loved him so much that she could abandon the emperor.

The King of Dai knew nothing about this. He came to the Queen's bedroom and saw Zhou Ziran lying sick on the bed. He couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and spoke to her in a friendly manner.

"Ziran, why do you insist on seeing me?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become thinner." She stroked the King's face.

"Really? Yesterday Yifang said that I seemed to have grown stronger, and she wasn't as strong as before when she hugged my waist." The King of Dai did not realize how excessive it was to mention his intimacy with Dou Yifang in front of the Queen.

"Really?" Zhou Ziran's expression was gloomy. He hadn't had close contact with King Dai for several years. Thinking of this, Zhou Ziran felt annoyed and immediately opened the portrait in his hand.

"Does Wang Keshang recognize the people above?"

"Isn't this Yifang's portrait? How come you have her portrait in your hand? Are you going to use this thing to secretly curse Yifang?" King Dai looked at Zhou Ziran warily, as if she were some kind of monster.

Zhou Ziran suddenly felt very bored. She had entered the Han Palace as a spy for this man, and later returned to Dai State with the intention of marrying him. Was it just for this situation now? She couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that in the eyes of the king, the woman who entered the Han Palace for the king was such a vicious woman?" Zhou Ziran never brought this up in the past, but now he has finally let it go.

King Dai thought of their past and softened his heart again: "Ziran, how could I forget those things? But you have really become a stranger to me now."

"Hehe, how can the king not treat me as a stranger?" Zhou Ziran sneered, and the two looked at each other in silence.

After a few breaths, the King of Dai broke the silence and said, "So why did you take out Yifang's portrait?"

"Ahem, Mr. Wang, do you know the retired emperor's beloved concubine Du Yunxi? This portrait is of Du Yunxi." Zhou Ziran said and stopped looking at King Dai.

"You are really stubborn. Now, in order to compete for favor with Yifang, you even made up such a lie." Prince Dai left in a huff, leaving Zhou Ziran who kept coughing.

The maid beside her quickly stuffed the medicine into Zhou Ziran's mouth. If she wasn't kept alive, Shiyi's plan would be difficult to carry out. It would be better for her to be alive.

The King of Dai came out in a confused state. His reason told him that the Queen would not deceive him with this matter, but he could not accept it emotionally.

Just when King Dai was struggling, Liu Ying came to the palace of Dai and met King Dai without any obstruction. The moment he saw King Dai, Liu Ying excitedly grabbed his hand.

"I heard that my Yun Xi is in the palace of Dai Kingdom. I came all the way here. You must help me!"

"Brother, you must have found the wrong person. I have never heard of a woman named Du Yunxi in my palace."

“It cannot be wrong. I have searched all the way here, but I couldn’t find the Palace of King Dai.” Liu Ying looked as if he would die if he couldn’t find it, so King Dai had no choice but to agree to help.
