Afternoon, in the Cold Rain Courtyard.

"Miss, this is the medicine you wanted. Mr. Huo has already done as you instructed." Liu Feng handed a bag of medicine to Qian Jin as he said this, but he then looked at Qian Jin who seemed to be hesitating to speak.

She gave him a shallow look and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Liu Feng hesitated for a while, then said: "Miss, today's news was suddenly spread in the capital at noon. Miss, you are too kind, and can't tolerate the three wives in the mansion. The prince just left in the morning, and you forced Madame Bai to dismiss the two wives, and even punished her to kneel down, only to faint." Liu Feng looked worriedly at Drifting Water.

"When he heard that, he showed a look of understanding." I thought she was trying to do something, but she wanted to use me to get rid of the two ladies and to preserve her reputation. "

"But …" Liu Feng was a bit unwilling to accept this outcome.

"Liu Feng, if the dog bit you, would you bite back?"

"..." Liu Feng choked.

Qian Chao didn't pay much attention to it. She took her medicine bag and walked towards the kitchen. "Don't bother with these things. Just let them be. Right now, the most important thing for us is to find a way to leave the palace." He turned around and sternly said to Liu Feng: "I'm going to refine medicine now, you stand guard, no one can disturb me, not even the green branches. If she comes, you will knock her out."

"Yes." Liu Feng lowered his head and replied. His mind was filled with the image of a calm and composed person with an extraordinary bearing, and he could not get it off his mind.

Afternoon, in the Imperial Palace.

"Your majesty, please eat something first. The dragon's body is more important!" A woman wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe was holding a bowl of Gui Yuan soup, gently urging the man in front of the table.

The man frowned and raised his head. His brow was faintly vicious. Although he didn't have an astonishing appearance, it was impossible for others to ignore him.

"Greedy officials have yet to clear, the waters of Jiangnan have yet to calm down, and there are still barbarians and black tortoises eyeing from the east and the north like tigers stalking their prey." How can I eat in peace when there's trouble both internally and externally! "

"Your majesty, this isn't something that can be solved in a moment. You should be at ease and take care of your dragon body first!" The empress gently placed the soup on the table, walked up to the emperor, and gently massaged his shoulder.

"Your majesty, there is Jun Xiang in Jiangnan. He is not weak, you can rest assured. Moreover. Now that the three kingdoms were in a stalemate, although Huangfu Jin's ambition was Bohai and Bo, he couldn't put Xuanwu in the wrong place. As long as His Majesty can take advantage of the opportunity to raise more soldiers, Tianyao will not be at too much of a disadvantage. "

The empress's body stiffened, her face turned pale. Her hands clenched tightly as she closed her eyes, trying to wipe the desolation from her eyes. After a long while, she opened her eyes. There was a trace of pain in them as she said, "Then, how about chenqie helps His Majesty Zhang Luo …" The Queen blessed herself and said.

The emperor lightly sighed and pulled the empress into his embrace. After a long time, the emperor stroked the empress's back and said, "Maid, I hope you can forgive me."

"This concubine dares not. This concubine naturally sympathizes with Your Majesty …" The empress replied flatly.

"Ai, you …" The emperor frowned at the empress, not knowing what to say.

"Your majesty, you told me before to pay attention to Jun Xiang's estate. Today, that Madame Bai from his estate sent Lady Wang and Madame Wen away with the help of Xiaoxiao. Do you want her to restrain it? " The empress purposefully avoided the topic of conversation and turned her head, casually bringing the topic to his attention.

Hearing the empress's words, the emperor released his hold on the empress, stood up, placed his hands behind his back, and began to pace slowly.

"Bai Clan... Is it that Manxiang House's number one card? " The Emperor turned to the Empress.

"Yes, Jun Xiang still wants to marry her as his concubine." "The empress nodded her head gently." Furthermore, rumors have been circulating throughout the capital that Prince Ling's wife is envious of him and cannot tolerate him. She has used her status as the princess and the direct daughter of the prime minister to suppress him and send the two ladies away, punishing Duke Ling's most beloved wife to the point of fainting. "

"Then what is Xiao Qian's reaction?" the Emperor asked curiously.

"It's as if she didn't do anything, as if nothing had happened." The empress shook her head, as if she was lamenting the slight stupidity, but at the same time, it was as if she was lamenting the shallow indifference.

Hearing this, the Emperor was stunned for a moment before his brows furrowed in deep thought. "Empress, do you know why I forced Jun Xiang to marry Xiao Xiao?" The Emperor sighed and looked deeply into the empress's eyes.

"Chenqie doesn't know." The empress replied doubtfully to the emperor.

"Because of the Immortal City. Ten years ago. The city lord, Feng Li, had prophesied, "When Feng Nu returns to the world, the world becomes one." And Imperial Father told the Imperial Advisor to spare no effort to find this Holy Maiden. It was precisely because of this that the Imperial Advisor died in the Yellow Springs. "

The emperor looked out the window at the horizon. It was clear that the sky outside was clear, but it sent chills down one's spine.

"Then Xiao Qian …" Is she the Holy Maiden? " The empress felt that this was beyond her imagination. Such a cowardly person who could be easily bullied was the Holy Maiden who would unite the world?

"I also have my doubts, but I can confirm that she is the one the State Grandmaster is speaking of!" With that, he strolled over to the desk and sat down to read the imperial reports.

The empress walked softly behind him and massaged his shoulders.

"Your majesty, Jiang Nan's' Baili 'paper!" Suddenly, a messenger came into the royal study, knelt at the far end of the doorway, and shouted.

"Present." The Emperor said solemnly.

The queen stepped aside when she heard this.

"Yes sir!" The messenger shouted out and passed the book to Eunuch Li Fu, who had entered with him. Eunuch Li held the book with both hands and walked towards the desk.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Lord Li bowed respectfully and handed his hands up, then lowered his head.

The Emperor took the book and opened it. He read the lines one by one, and the more he read, the more his brow creased.

Time slowly passed by, and the Emperor's expression became uglier and uglier.

"Bastard!" All of them are bastards! " The emperor slapped the book on the table with a "Pa" sound and spoke with an angry expression and an intimidating tone.

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing the Emperor's rage, Eunuch Li and the messenger quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your majesty." The empress slowly ascended, gently holding the emperor's hand and waving her other hand towards Eunuch Li and the messenger.

Eunuch Li and the messenger were relieved. They quickly got up and left the royal study.

"Your majesty, no matter what, the only way is to calm down and think about the right thing to do! Only then can you take the initiative!" The empress gripped the emperor's hand tightly and spoke with sincerity.

The emperor's brows creased deeper and tighter as he clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty …" cried the Queen, worriedly.

The emperor seemed to come back to his senses and stretched out a hand to soften his brows.

"Jun Xiang was attacked midway, his whereabouts unknown! The calamity silver was cut off once again! There was not enough food in Jiangnan, and there was also the plague. The people of Jiangnan were hungry, so they were taken advantage of and thrown into chaos. Although the Jiangnan prefecture had sent out troops to suppress them, the situation was still critical and the number of thugs was still increasing. Jiangnan... At stake! "

The emperor's low and hoarse voice came out one word at a time.

"How could this be …" the Queen said in surprise. Your Majesty, could it be that he … "

"That's right, it's him!" The Emperor thought for a moment, then shouted …

"Someone, Princess Xuanling!"
