Chapter 580 Daring to Dethrone the Emperor

Lin Qi is currently drinking millet porridge and eating almond tofu.

Almond tofu is more expensive than homemade soft tofu because of its different production process and required ingredients.

However, Lin Qi still decided to try it.

Simply put, according to Paul, adding almonds gives the texture and flavor a different feel.

The appeal of tender tofu lies in its authentic, natural flavor.

However, almond tofu has a touch of post-processing, but it is also a sublime experience after sublimation.

Lin Qi wanted to experience the ascension.

So, eat the expensive stuff!
At this moment, take a bite of tender and smooth, followed by a bite of fresh and sweet.

too delicious!

Who would have thought that tofu could be so delicious?

Hearing Wen Nuan mention the past, Lin Qi sighed softly: "I feel that urinary tract stones are not so bad, but gallstones are really scary when they hurt. My uncle was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground and then fainted. It almost scared the whole family to death."

There are people like that in my hometown, so I've naturally seen the scene.

Hearing Lin Qi mention it, he quickly patted his chest and said, "Thank goodness, I ate breakfast."

Lin Qi couldn't help but chuckle: "Not just breakfast, but all three meals need to be regular, and we don't sit for long periods of time. People like us are really lucky that we haven't ruined our health."

After all, meals are rarely regular, and when you're busy working overtime, you don't have time to eat.
When I was young, I was very career-oriented and wanted to give it my all.

As they get older, even though they don't want to get involved anymore, the environment is so competitive that if they don't, they'll be eliminated by the market.

However, as I've gotten older, I've learned to take good care of myself.

It wasn't that I suddenly understood, but rather...

Although my body wasn't completely ruined, I still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Nodules, cysts, various inflammations, and so on.

It's not a particularly serious problem, but it's not one that can be ignored.

Lin Qi's gastritis, in particular, has been going on for a long time, and the symptoms are actually quite severe. He needs to have regular check-ups every year, and when he's in pain, it's completely unreasonable.

Moreover, stomach problems are related to emotions, stress, and diet.

You never know when your stomach will feel the worst, whether it's from eating a bite of cold noodles yesterday, having a fit of anger the day before, or pulling out a strand of hair while working overtime the day before that...

In any case, a sudden outbreak must have a prior cause.

Lin Qi has gotten used to it now.

However, to be fair, her stomach has been much more well-behaved in the last six months or so.

Thinking about her follow-up check-up next month, Lin Qi felt even more excited.

I don't dare to expect it to get better; it would be good enough if it could maintain the status quo and not get any worse.

For her, the fact that things aren't getting worse is good news.

Thinking this, Lin Qi silently took out her phone to make an appointment for a medical visit.

Wen Nuan saw it, asked a question, thought about her own problem, and took out her phone as well: "Sigh, this body is full of nodules and fibroids, it's really tough!"

Sheng Jiu stayed home today, which was unusual.

because……

Wen Mingzhi has arrived.

To be honest, it's still a bit strange to be doing it in broad daylight.

The other party always came at night, rarely during the day, so Sheng Jiu almost didn't recognize them at first glance.

Wen Mingzhi appears to be without makeup, but with her good natural features, she looks stunning even without makeup.

However, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she was dressed entirely in white.

This is……

Wearing mourning clothes?
Sheng Jiu was unsure and in no hurry to ask.

Lin Duo quietly stepped back a little, standing in a position that would protect Sheng Jiu without excessively disturbing their conversation.

Wen Mingzhi had gotten used to the situation here and didn't mind Lin Duo's presence.

After she came in, she first smiled gently at Sheng Jiu, and then placed a small box in her hand on the small table on the second floor.

After putting it down, Wen Mingzhi curtsied to Sheng Jiu: "Thank you, young master."

Sheng Jiu suddenly realized, this is...

Did they pull the emperor off his horse?
Sheng Jiu looked surprised, and Wen Mingzhi almost laughed when she saw it. However, she controlled herself well and gently opened the box on the table.

That was a box of gold ingots.

Neatly arranged, each one gleaming with an alluring light.

Sheng Jiu:...!
Sorry, I'm not middle-aged yet, but I've already unlocked a desire and love for gold!

This golden color is her favorite right now.

Of course, she also really likes the color of other metals that are more expensive than gold.

Seeing Sheng Jiu's eyes light up and her expression become more lively, Wen Mingzhi knew that she had given the right gift.

She quickly sat down and drank the grape honey water that Lin Duo had prepared.

The grapes are a bit sour, so adding some honey water will make them taste sweeter.

However, the tartness of the grapes is well preserved, so the taste is still very good.

With the recent hot weather and the arrival of a large amount of honey from the distant sect, Sheng Jiu also launched a new batch of honey.

If you prefer it cold, you can add ice cubes.

Drinking the sweet and sour grape honey water, Wen Mingzhi's previously somewhat haggard and pale complexion eased a little.

She slowly began to recount her daily life over this period.

After obtaining the desired pills from Sheng Jiu, Wen Mingzhi didn't need to lift a finger; her family would handle everything.

Moreover, when the time comes, they can just push a wandering sorcerer out to take the blame, and it won't fall on the Wen family's head no matter what.

Even if the investigation really reaches this point, there are other families besides the Wen family.

Once interests are intertwined, those people won't be thinking about how to make others take the blame, but rather how to help everyone climb out of this mess.

Even so, everyone is under a lot of pressure.

Because Wen Mingzhi was in the inner palace, she was somewhat delayed in receiving information.

The situation is uncertain, and they also have to deal with an old emperor who could go mad at any moment.

Wen Mingzhi's sleep had been visibly poor for some time!
Fortunately, Wen Mingzhi was not the only newly arrived concubine; there were others as well.

There are a few women who have caught the old emperor's eye, so there's no need to focus solely on Wen Mingzhi causing trouble.

In this way, her pressure will be reduced.

However, with a heavy sword hanging over their heads, no one knows what the consequences or the road ahead will be.

So, we waited and hoped all the way.

Finally, the news of the old emperor's passing arrived!

God knows, Wen Mingzhi's first reaction upon hearing this news was...

He's finally dead!

It's not that she didn't have the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

The truth is, as the old emperor's health has deteriorated over the past year, his mentality has become increasingly abnormal.

Ministers could kill at will, and concubines could torture at will.

In other words, Wen Mingzhi is gentle, considerate, smart, and perceptive.

otherwise……

Think of the other concubines who entered the palace at the same time, as well as the young women who came up through the selection process.

Almost every two or three days, a concubine would be quietly carried out.

It was carried out horizontally!

Especially at times like these, Wen Mingzhi felt more and more fortunate that they had made preparations in advance!

However, doing this kind of thing also has a very troublesome hidden danger, or rather, a future problem.

That is……

Newly enthroned emperors will inevitably take extra precautions to prevent themselves from encountering the same situation.

So, the lives of these former subjects...

Thinking of all this, Wen Mingzhi sighed softly.
