Xue Hua said in panic, "Empress, that scorpion is missing, could it have run away?" After saying that, she looked around fearfully.

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she giggled and said, "That scorpion has already disappeared into nothing. Didn't you see that the grass was burnt yellow? That's the scorch marks left by the scorpion's venom after it melted. "

Snow Flower was still half believing and half doubting, the fear in her eyes had not lessened in the slightest.

Leng Qiyue continued to explain, "Just now, I saw some powder in the wooden box. That powder was probably the main culprit behind the melting of scorpions, but I don't know what that powder is either."

Han Liu patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death."

As the three were deep in conversation, someone shouted from outside, "Jade Concubine has arrived!"

Leng Qiyue and the other two looked at each other, then came to the door.

Yu Fei left very quickly. She had already entered before Leng Qiyue had even arrived at the door. The moment she entered the door, she asked, "Is little sister alright?"

Leng Qiyue nodded. "Thank you, sister, for your concern. I'm fine."

Yu Fei held onto Leng Qiyue's hands and smiled. "It's good that you're fine. Big sister was startled when she heard the news and immediately rushed over."

Leng Qiyue smiled without a word.

Yu Fei pulled Leng Qiyue to sit on the imperial concubine's bed. She used a handkerchief to wipe her forehead and said, "The palace guards all have nothing to eat. If I hadn't been frightened, I wouldn't have been so mischievous."

Leng Qiyue asked, puzzled, "Elder sister has slipped before?"

Yu Fei's face was filled with grief as she said bitterly, "It's all because of that bitch, the butterfly concubine. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gotten a slip of the body either."

Leng Qiyue continued to ask, "Just what happened?"

Yu Fei took a sip of the tea brought over by the snow flower and then said, "At that time, I was not married to the emperor yet, so I lived with the butterfly concubine in the house of the Marquis. I was not even five months pregnant, and one day the Marquis found a few friends to drink. That wretched bitch hid in the grass and then suddenly came out to scare me, and my poor child just went away like that. "

Leng Qiyue was a bit puzzled. She was already five months pregnant, so she shouldn't be so shocked that she would miscarry. There must be another reason. So she asked, "Sister, you said that I was not feeling well. Does your stomach hurt? "

Yu Fei thought for a moment and said, "I just felt stuffy and dizzy, but my stomach didn't hurt."

Leng Qiyue pressed her finger on Dongfang Yu's wrist. She discovered that her pulse was steady and there was a strange feeling in it. She must have been poisoned by a slow poison.

"Elder sister's pulse is stable and her body is fine. I think you'll be able to conceive again soon." Leng Qiyue hid the truth and did not intend to tell it. Because she had a few days to go back to the modern world and didn't want to get caught up in their fight.

When Dongfang Yu heard this, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Little Sister is the true successor of Elder Du Xian. If you say there's nothing wrong, then I'll be relieved."

Leng Qiyue sneered in her heart. She would never help Dongfang Yu cure her poison. This woman was a two-faced, triple-faced, extremely powerful being. She was very unlikeable.

"Then big sister won't bother little sister anymore. I'll come visit you another day." Dongfang Yu rose to his feet and prepared to leave.

Leng Qiyue said with a fake smile, "Thank you elder sister. Next time, little sister will go pay a visit to elder sister."

"Alright, alright, there's no need to send me off." Dongfang Yu left with the maid.

Leng Qiyue turned around and said to Xue Hua, "Hurry, hurry, hurry. Where's the rice?" I'm starving. "

Xue Hua giggled and said, "Han Liu went to get some rice. Empress, please wait."

A few minutes later, Han Liu brought the dishes over. Leng Qiyue could not be bothered with much, she picked up the rice bowl and began to gobble up the rice.

Han Liu and Xue Hua, who were watching from the side, snickered.

After Leng Qiyue finished eating, she raised her head and saw that the two of them were laughing very happily, so she asked, "What's so funny about it?"

Han Liu smiled. "Empress, your manner of eating is too crude. Even the daughter of a commoner wouldn't eat like that. You have to be a bit more ladylike."

Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just like this. Let me be a lady, in my next life."

Seeing that Leng Qiyue had finished eating, Han Liu and Xue Hua also sat down to eat. Only then did Leng Qiyue realize that she hadn't seen Little Shun Zi for a day. "Where did Little Shun Zi go?"

Xue Hua said, "Little Shun went to the clothing department. The Empress's clothes were too few, so this servant took the initiative to take some cloth and make some clothes for the Empress. And the little prince, you can't always wear those. " Suddenly, she realized that she was overstepping her authority and quickly knelt down. "Empress, you have redeemed yourself. This servant did not obtain Empress's approval to use cloth. I ask that you punish me."

Leng Qiyue pulled up the snowflake and said, "Why should I punish you? I'm grateful that you didn't make it in time. I even forgot to make clothes for my child. Fortunately, you were here. In the future, you can use whatever you want with the cloth, and it'll be useless if you have nothing else to do. "

Snowflake's face blushed. She was happy for herself and had a good master.

After a few days of peace and quiet, Leng Qiyue thought that she would just quietly wait for her return journey. In the end, the Heavenly Flute Nation suddenly sent an emissary to make peace, causing a ruckus in the harem.

Leng Qiyue didn't care too much about this matter. She eagerly waited for the day to come. As for whether or not Dongfang Haotian would marry an emissary as his concubine, she didn't care at all.

Snow Flower could no longer hold herself back and asked, "Empress, the Emperor said he would confer you the title of Imperial Consort, but there has been no news of you for several days already. Now that there's another messenger, do you think the Emperor will forget about this? "

As Leng Qiyue was eating her melon seeds, she crossed her legs and said in satisfaction, "If he doesn't seal my business, then he must be a great beauty to be able to come to the marriage alliance. How can Dongfang Haotian not keep it?"

Snow flowers have been used to Leng Qiyue's vulgar language and actions, only Han Liu will frown dissatisfied, often a snot tears of preaching.

"Esteemed Empress, a banquet will be held tonight at the Joy Palace to entertain the Emissary of Heaven's Flute Nation. The Emperor wants you to dress up and attend the banquet." Little Shun Zi ran in from the outside and said.

Leng Qiyue curled her lips in disapproval. She didn't even raise her butt before she continued to eat the melon seeds.

Seeing this, Han Liu rubbed her forehead. She gave Snowy a look, and the two of them drove Leng Qiyue into the house, one to the left and one to the right. One to comb her hair, the other to help her put on her clothes.

Leng Qiyue wore a light blue muslin dress, it was simple but elegant, charming and graceful. Her elegant jade face was often painted with light plum blossom makeup, revealing a trace of charm, captivating one's soul. The most unforgettable thing was that pair of sparkling starlight eyes, as if it could enchant a thousand generations of grandeur. His body emitted a faint, leisurely, and natural plum blossom fragrance. "Such a beautiful woman was able to destroy the will of the other three with a single movement.

When Leng Qiyue saw that they had "cleaned up" her, she lifted her skirt and walked outside with large strides. She then lazily laid down on the Imperial Consort's chair and continued to gnaw on the melon seeds with her crossed legs. Her snow-white calves were exposed on the outside and were extremely alluring.

Blue veins could be seen on Han Liu's forehead as she used her strength to break the wooden brush. Then, she heard a lion's roar rise up from the Emerald Bamboo Palace …

"Empress, can't you be more ladylike?"

Leng Qiyue quickly dropped the melon seeds and covered her ears. Then, she innocently looked at Han Liu.

Han Liu pulled her up, adjusting her wrinkled dress as she scolded, "Empress, although these kinds of materials are luxurious, they tend to wrinkle. How are you going to go out to meet people while lying like this?"

Leng Qiyue muttered in frustration, "Are you the master or am I the master?"

When Han Liu heard Leng Qiyue's complaints, her face turned cold. "Is it really just as you say?"

Leng Qiyue sucked in a breath of cold air, then hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, "No, no. I am quite satisfied with that."

Han Liu smiled charmingly. "That's more like it."

Xue Hua, who was watching the scene from the side, laughed. "Empress, it's all your fault for being so kind. Look, this servant girl is almost riding on your head."

Han Liu glared at Xuehua. In her heart, she was actually very beautiful. Leng Qiyue never treated them as servants. She even dared to yell at them even when she doted on them.

Leng Qiyue hugged Xuehua and Han Liu and said, "Who said I treated you as servants? I see you as sisters. "

Snow Flower and Han Liu's hearts warmed, and they almost burst into tears.

Little Shun Zi also really liked this good-natured master from the bottom of his heart. However, the time had come, so he couldn't let them cause any more trouble. He reminded them, "Empress, time is up."

Leng Qiyue nodded. "You all stay behind to take care of the little prince. I'll go deal with him and then come back."

Since the palanquin outside the door had been waiting for a long time, Little Chun Zi wasn't afraid that Leng Qiyue would get lost, so he obediently stayed behind.

Leng Qiyue got on the palanquin and the group of people slowly made their way to the Music Hall. In the end, they found themselves in the vicinity of a bamboo forest. The palanquin had fallen to the ground.

Leng Qiyue fell out of the palanquin, twisting her body and landing on her left foot. The four eunuchs who were carrying the palanquin immediately panicked and kneeled on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

Leng Qiyue crawled out of the palanquin and cursed in her heart, "What lousy thing is this? There are also fake products in the palace, and you guys, if you don't drag me out, what are you all kneeling here for? "

A young eunuch was very quick-witted. Seeing that Leng Qiyue had climbed out of the palanquin, he hurriedly helped her up.

Leng Qiyue jumped to the side of a rock and sat down. "Go inform the emperor that I accidentally sprained my ankle, so I won't be going to the banquet."

The four eunuchs looked at each other, not daring to move. Leng Qiyue saw through their thoughts and continued, "Just tell them that I have to relieve myself on the way and that I accidentally twisted my leg. You guys can just carry the palanquin and quietly repair it."

When the eunuchs heard Leng Qiyue's words, their worries vanished, but they soon became worried again, because the palanquin had to be carried by four people. Two of them could not carry it at all.

Seeing their predicament, Leng Qiyue said, "You guys carry the palanquin away first, I'll rest for a bit before heading back myself. Anyway, this place is not far from the Emerald Bamboo Palace."

The four young eunuchs' faces were full of gratitude. They thanked him profusely before carrying the palanquin and running away. Leng Qiyue looked at the sky. Fortunately, there was the moon, so it wasn't so dark. Although this place was not far from the Emerald Bamboo Palace, her feet still hurt so she decided to rest for a while longer.

She took off her socks and found that her ankles were swollen, so she took the scented sachet from her bosom and opened it. She chewed a few leaves and applied them to the affected area, and when she took out her handkerchief and prepared to tie it, a gust of wind blew the handkerchief to the ground.

Leng Qiyue furrowed her brows. She stood up and leapt over with one leg, but a protruding rock tripped her over in the grass, causing her to pounce forward …

At this moment, a shadow flashed and caught the body of Leng Qiyue who had fallen to the ground. The two of them fell together onto the grass.

Leng Qiyue raised her head, borrowing the moonlight to look at him. Her fair face had a sharp and handsome edge to it, and her deep black eyes were filled with a charming luster. Her thick eyebrows, high nose, and absolutely beautiful lips gave off an air of nobility and elegance.

"Miss, are you a princess?" The handsome man spoke, his voice clear and gentle.

Leng Qiyue was still blankly staring at that man. It wasn't because he was handsome, but because he had a dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging in front of his forehead. Although the jade was good, what attracted Leng Qiyue's attention was that the dragon's shape was too familiar to her. It was exactly the same as the one on her own jade pendant. Could it be that he was the one her grandfather told her to find?

"What are you doing? A single man and a single woman hugging each other in private in the middle of the night, what do you take me for? " Dongfang Haotian actually appeared in front of the two of them.
