"Hey, isn't that Lin Yao you checked last time? Wasn't she sent away to make firewood long ago?"

"Your Majesty has a very good memory. He remembered the name I just mentioned once..."

"Qiu Chi, listen to me..." Xiao Qi thought to himself that something was wrong. Why did his wife suddenly become so weird? He was a little panicked!

"I'm listening!"

"Didn't Lin Yao sneak into the palace for the Thousand Machine Skills? Now that we need to get rid of the remnants of the Moon Kingdom, isn't it just the right time to use her?"

"That's why I said I need the emperor's cooperation!"

"How to cooperate?"

"Madame Liu sent a message saying that Lin Yao wanted to find an opportunity to seduce you so as to gain favor and make me step down."

"Qiu Chi, this is none of my business. You are the only one in my heart and eyes. There is no room for anyone else."

Shen Qiuchi was helpless and said, "I asked you to come here because I want you to play along with me and pretend to give her unlimited favors to lure out those people behind her. Before, she was locked up in the imperial kitchen and the cold palace and no one knew about it. It's better to put her out in the open so that everyone can see her."

Xiao Yuan felt quite aggrieved. She was Shen Qiuchi's husband, but he was always pushed out to be a tool. After so many times, he couldn't help but doubt whether Shen Qiuchi had no feelings for him at all.

Seeing Xiao Qi like this, Shen Qiuchi reached out and hugged Xiao Qi: "I know you have been wronged, but there is nothing I can do. If I go to Lin Yao and give her a position, she will definitely be suspicious and then she will be alarmed."

Xiao Qi buried his head in Shen Qiuchi's shoulder. Shen Qiuchi patted Xiao Qi's head and continued, "Qingfang once told me that she smelled the same scent on Lin Yao as the Mengyi embroidery in the cockfighting arena. She suspected that Lin Yao had a relationship with the owner of the cockfighting arena, or that Lin Yao was the owner of the cockfighting arena. If so, I thought that Lin Yao and King Liang must have colluded!"

"That makes sense, but how is the Yue Kingdom connected to King Liang?"

"Isn't your good uncle deeply in love with Princess Yuehua?"

"So, the power that Lin Yao developed in Qingzhou was supported by King Liang behind the scenes?"

"I don't know about that!" Shen Qiuchi whispered. The people she sent only found out that Lin Yao relied on a large number of men to develop her power. She didn't know the details, and she didn't know whether King Liang would be one of them.

Anyway, she couldn't find out who were the men Lin Yao was involved with. Those who were found had already been confiscated and their houses were ransacked, and some had been beheaded.

"So Qiu Chi wants to let people know that Lin Yao is in the palace, and then catch everyone in one fell swoop?"

"I want them to fight each other!"

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, doesn't Lin Yao want to compete for favor and ascend to a high position to get rid of you and me, and then get the Thousand Machine Skills to restore the country?" Shen Qiuchi paused, "Then we will do as she wishes and let her ascend to a high position, but we have to make her betray her old subordinates first!"

"She is from the Moon Country, how could she betray her old subordinates?"

"She wants to restore her country only for the sake of her dignity. If we give her a more noble appearance than before, and she becomes addicted to it and forgets about her hometown, will her old subordinates, the King of Liang, still be able to live in harmony with her?"

"Akichi, what a good plan!"

"But this requires the cooperation of the Emperor!"

Xiao Qi's face instantly fell when he figured it out.

"Qiu Chi, you are too cruel. I am your husband after all, but you want me to sacrifice my beauty. Are you willing to do that? Aren't you afraid that I will be seduced by someone else?"

"Was he seduced away by someone?" Shen Qiuchi let go of Xiao Qi and looked at him seriously!

"I, I will definitely not be swayed by beauty, but I... I am the king of a country after all."

"Well, knowing that you are the ruler of a country, you should be more mature. For the stability of Daliang, what's wrong with you making some sacrifices? As long as you pretend to be bewitched by her when she approaches you, and then give her a position as a concubine, wouldn't she think she has succeeded? Why does she need you to use the beauty trap yourself?"

Shen Qiuchi pinched Xiao Qi's face, and Xiao Qi nodded in agreement involuntarily.
