Chapter 250 Not as good as someone
"Your Highness is too kind. It is my honor to serve you! Besides, the fault does not lie with Your Highness. It was that girl who had bad intentions. Alas, poor Dan Niang and Ming Li are both victims..."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I know what I'm doing. I will do my best to compensate Dan Niang and Ming Li. The important thing is for you to contact the owner and get Ming Li's indenture as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away! You don't look well, you should go and rest some more."
The shopkeeper bowed and withdrew, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
King Qi took a sip of fragrant tea, feeling somewhat displeased with what the shopkeeper had said. Two women in one night! Let him try being impotent all night! Humph! Thinking that the matter would be resolved soon, he reverted to his usual arrogant self.
Inside Dan Niang's room, a man lay sprawled on a soft couch, picking up a pastry from a small tea table and popping it into his mouth.
"Dan Niang, your acting is really good! You completely fooled the King of Qi!"
Dan Niang also picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. She hadn't slept all night and had been performing for so long since dawn, she was starving.
"Unlike you, if I didn't know what happened, I would have thought you really committed suicide by self-immolation! Who would have thought that the charming Mingli was actually a man?"
"Hahaha~"
The laughing man was none other than "Mingli," the self-immolator, a member of the Li team, and Li Ge's good partner—Li Ming.
"Sister Mulan's makeup skills are amazing! She transformed me, a grown man, into a beautiful woman!"
Dan Niang smiled faintly. When Mu Jin brought Li Ming to see her, she explained the young lady's plan.
At first, she was worried that Li Ming was a man and that it would give her away, but she didn't expect that Mu Jin's makeup skills were superb, and she quickly transformed him into a beauty.
With Li Ming's voice and piano skills, she truly embodies a woman!
Things went very smoothly afterward. The original plan was to dance in the open space of the neighborhood to attract the attention of the King of Qi. With divine help, the King of Qi arranged a banquet and invited them to his room. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly.
"By the way, Li Ming, how did you set your hand on fire? Didn't it hurt?"
The flames in Li Ming's hand were real; many people in the courtyard saw it, including the guards who were chasing him. It couldn't be faked…
Li Ming sat up from the soft couch, took out two bottles of liquid from his waist, opened one of them, poured a little into his palm, then poured in the other liquid and lit it. Two clusters of flames appeared in his palm.
Just as Dan Niang was about to cry out in surprise, she realized something was wrong and immediately covered her mouth with her hand!
"That's amazing! How did you do that?!"
The fire in his hands slowly died down, and Li Ming proudly displayed his hands, which were completely unharmed except for a slight odor.
"I can't explain it clearly either. It was all brought by Sister Mujin. I just did whatever she told me to do!"
Dan Niang said sourly, "You really listen to Mu Jin, calling her 'Sister Mu Jin' so affectionately..."
"Don't get me wrong!"
Li Ming didn't want to be misunderstood, so he secretly glanced at Dan Niang. He already had someone he loved, so he tried to give an explanation as quickly as possible.
"I'm just following my master's orders, not Sister Mujin! Also, Mujin saved me during a mission before. She's actually younger than me, but because she's with my master, everyone in our team except the captain calls Mujin 'sister'! Don't get the wrong idea!"
Dan Niang twisted her handkerchief, head bowed, and said, "Oh... if she called out, she called out... why explain so much..."
"I was just afraid you'd misunderstand..."
Li Ming chuckled to himself, noticing the weariness on Dan Niang's shy and timid face, and walked towards the door.
"I haven't slept all night, I'll rest for a bit... I'm leaving now..."
"Um……"
Dan Niang was so excited that she couldn't sleep. The two of them had completed the mission perfectly on their first collaboration, and there would definitely be more opportunities to work together in the future!
Yang Jianwu slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. No one disturbed him, and he slept soundly.
It was only on the fifth time that Mu Jin arrived at the door that she heard what sounded like inside, and she gently knocked on the door.
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Well, come in."
Yang Jianwu lazily got up and sat down next to the dressing mirror, letting Mu Jin do as she pleased.
"Did everything go smoothly last night?"
"Hehe~"
Thinking of Li Ming's vivid report, Mu Jin couldn't help but smile.
"Don't just laugh by yourself. Sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to yourself. Tell me so I can have a laugh too!"
Yang Jianwu pouted and looked at Mu Jin grinning foolishly through the silver mirror. Something unexpected must have happened to make her laugh so happily! And it must be something good!
After laughing enough, Mu Jin told Yang Jianwu the whole story of what happened last night.
"So, the maidservant by King Qi's side became the legitimate poisoner?"
"Exactly!"
Yang Jianwu clapped her hands, "Great! I went to all that trouble to make this eyebrow powder, but now I don't need it anymore. I'll have Danniang keep it safe; you never know when we might need it!"
"Yes!"
According to Yang Jianwu's original plan, Dan Niang and Li Ming took the antidote in advance and used a special eyebrow powder to draw their eyebrows. As long as they successfully entered the Qi King's room, the special ingredients in the eyebrow powder would combine with the incense in the room to produce an aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic effect!
The maidservant beside King Qi was absolutely a terrible teammate; she actually added aphrodisiac powder to the incense, doubling its aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic effects. No wonder King Qi's body was completely drained...
