Chapter 993  Previous Life (7)

For example, the Shen family was declining, and the empress was getting neglected, like an old woman on her last breath.

Princess Wanyu died of illness on the way to the Xiongnu. Empress Shen couldn\'t recover from this setback. Although she still assumed a dignified aura in front of others, one could feel that there was a death aura lingering around her. The death aura would only disappear when she saw the crown prince.

The beautiful woman looked at the green-robed man in front of her with a smile and said, "State Preceptor, it\'s not difficult for you to take a drop of the Empress\'s blood, right?"

Pei Lang looked at the woman in front of him. She was as enchanting as a wild cat in the night, smart and beautiful. Otherwise, the high and mighty emperor would not be infatuated with her.

As a woman, she was charming and was able to win a man\'s heart. As a schemer, she also did a good job.

She never took the initiative to ask for anything, but she could make people willingly give her what she wanted. Not only that, but she also snatched what others wanted. She instructed others to fight, relied on the support of the emperor, and relied on her brothers to slowly gain an upper hand.

She looked like a charming flower, but she had a vicious heart.

In comparison, the empress was not as vicious as Consort Mei. Perhaps because she came from a family of generals, no matter how her personality changed, she still had the tendency to be honest and kind.

However, it was precisely because of this kindness that she was destined to always lose.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Consort Mei called out, "State Preceptor?"

Pei Lang came back to his senses. He thought for a moment and asked, "Why do you want the blood of the empress\'s fingertip?"

"You don\'t have to know why." Consort Mei smiled like a flower.

She said, "State Preceptor, I think you know very well what kind of situation the empress is in." She pointed at a vine that was sandwiched between two trees outside the window and smiled. "When this vine just sprouted, it was sandwiched between two trees. It doesn\'t have to choose anything and can live very well. However, when it gradually grows up, it has to choose a tree to cling to." She looked at Pei Lang. "Whether it is the right one or the left one, the vine can only choose one."

"There\'s only so much land. Eventually, one tree will definitely be cut down."

"The vine has to choose carefully. If it clings up the tree that\'s about to be cut down, it\'ll die together with the tree." Consort Mei looked at Pei Lang with a smile. "State Preceptor, if you were that vine, what would you choose?"

Pei Lang looked at the two trees outside for a while before looking back and saying, "I understand."

Consort Mei smiled in satisfaction.

After Pei Lang left, a palace maid walked out from behind and poured tea for her. She said softly, "Your Highness, will State Preceptor really go and get the blood from the empress\'s fingertip? He and the empress seem to be on good terms."

Pei Lang had known Shen Miao for much longer than he had known Consort Mei.
