The emperor glanced at the empress, but for the first time, the empress wasn't jealous. In order to test Bai Rouzhi, he purposely said, "Empress, just wait for royal brother's Concubine Na to go and personally arrange it for him!"

The empress looked at the emperor meekly. "Chenqie shall obey."

Chu Qingyao kept feeling that Bai Rouzhi, as the Queen, had already let go of her feelings for Xuanyuan Zhi. But since she had already let go of her feelings, why did she still want to kill her? How incomprehensible!

An hour later, the palace guards returned with Fan Qingju to report their findings. Fan Qingju was walking at the back with a dejected expression.

"Reporting to the emperor, we followed Fan Qingju to an abandoned house. We discovered that there wasn't anyone there at all, so we asked our neighbors and said that we had never seen a woman appear there alone."

The emperor glared at the empress unwillingly, blaming her for bothering him with false information. The empress saw that the emperor was unhappy, and said angrily, "Fan Qingju, tell me clearly what exactly happened?"

Fan Qingju knelt to the ground with a thud, his body trembling uncontrollably, his voice losing its pitch, "Empress, you must believe this humble woman. This humble woman has really seen it yesterday."

The Queen stared at her, "Have you been to the Prince Zhi's Mansion before, to ask the Prince Zhi's Concubine?"

Fan Qingju stiffened her body. She had done this all in secret, even if she did not admit it, as long as she sent someone to investigate, she would be able to find out. At this moment, she thought of the dead Yu'er. She had not yet avenged Yu'er, so she did not wish to die.

Seeing that she was not speaking, the empress could not help but be enraged. For the sake of a shop, she dared to lie to her, the mother of a nation. She said coldly, "Men, drag Fan Qingju down.

Hearing that, Fan Qingju was so frightened that his blood drained from his body, he kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, please spare me, please spare me! This concubine doesn't dare, not anymore. "

Chu Qingyao looked coldly at Fan Qingju who was desperately begging for mercy, and sighed in her heart, she owed Xuanyuan Zhi a favor. Outside the palace, snow was falling from the sky. Once she returned to the Prince Zhi's Mansion, she immediately went to see Xuanyuan Zhi.

"Princess." Qi Sha came out from the shadows.

"Is the prince here?"

"Yes, Princess, please enter."

Entering the study room, she met Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze which was as deep as the ocean.

"You're back?" It seems that Xuanyuan Zhi knew she was entering the palace.

"Mm, thank you for saving my life." Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi was only staring at her, she could only ask, "Your Highness, what have you done to Auntie Sun?"

"Kill him."

She froze. Sure enough. The best way to deal with this matter was to kill Auntie Sun and remove all traces of his corpse. But those were two lives! How could he do that?

Seeing that her face was filled with grief and anger, yet she did not say a word, Xuanyuan Zhi retracted his gaze and continued to read the official documents. Chu Qingyao shook her body, turned, and slowly walked out of the study.

When the study room door closed, Xuanyuan Zhi raised her head. If this woman did not let her be provoked, she would never know how dangerous the world was.

Her momentary soft-heartedness yesterday had nearly destroyed the entire palace!

When Chu Qingyao returned to Blue Luan Courtyard, she threw her entire body onto the bed. She felt that her body was very cold, if Auntie Sun didn't come find her, she wouldn't have died. But she couldn't pick the wrong place for Xuanyuan Zhi to do this. If she was allowed to choose, she would definitely abandon the Auntie Sun to save the Duke Palace. But why was she so sad?

"Princess, what's wrong? "This servant will make you a bowl of ginger soup." Hong Tan came in and tucked her in.

"Hong Tan, I'm just tired. I want to sleep for a while." Hong Tan worriedly closed the door, and went to boil the ginger soup. When it was brought over, Chu Qingyao did not drink it.

After an unknown period of time, she felt a little warmer and drifted off to sleep. It wasn't until dark that she woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a figure in front of him. "Who is it?"

"This King."

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhi's voice, she grumbled, "Does Your Highness like to scare people? Even if they come, no one will be allowed to take the lead. "

"This King is just passing by." Xuanyuan Zhi turned and quickly walked out.

Were they all passing by her room?

Toxic Sect.

Once Man Tianyao got back to the Toxic Sect, he went straight to the back of the mountain, and only came down when it was dark. He built a palace in Toxic Sect called the Poison Hall. Just as he was about to open the doors to the Poison Hall, Yan Hong Xia ran over with a face full of joy, "This subordinate welcomes the sect master back to the palace."

His face remained impassive as he nodded. Then, he pushed open the door and walked in. Yan Hong Xia carefully followed behind, the love in her eyes not concealing anything. In the past, she was a disciple of the medical Sect and had never dared to reveal her thoughts. Now that he had entered the Toxic Sect with him, he was so happy that he looked like he was about to fly.

The person she loved was right in front of her. At this moment, she was so happy that she wanted to cry out.

Suddenly, Man Tianyao stopped, and asked: "Hong Xia, are you used to it in Toxic Sect?"

Hearing that he was concerned about her, Yan Hong Xia was so excited that her face turned red, "Hong Xia is fine."

"Has medical Sect sent anyone to find you?"

"No, medical Sect has never contacted me before. Besides, since Hong Xia has already entered the Toxic Sect, he has already cut off all contact with the past. Clan Master, you must believe in Hong Xia." Yan Hong Xia expressed her determination anxiously.

She could even reject the medical Sect for his sake, so how could she betray him? As long as she could be with him, she would be willing to betray the entire world.

Man Tianyao did not turn around, he only said one thing, "It's good that you don't have it, I'm fine here, you can leave now!"

Yan Hong Xia felt unresigned in her heart, and did not dare to disobey. She could only turn around and leave, and when it was about time, she knocked on Man Tianyao's door with a bowl of Snow Lotus Porridge.

She had not been idling after entering the Toxic Sect these few days, so she had already inquired about Man Tianyao's daily habits thoroughly. Therefore, he must have just taken a bath at this time.

"Who?" Man Tianyao's tone carried unhappiness. Every time he came back, he would go to bed and rest after taking a bath. Why would there still be people who dared to disturb him at this time?

The door was pushed open, and Yan Hong Xia carefully held up the bowl, "Sect Leader, it's me, Hong Xia."

"What's the matter?"

"I've brought the snow lotus congee over. The head of the sect should drink it before he rests!"

"You're quite considerate." Man Tianyao did indeed have the habit of drinking Snow Lotus Porridge, so he extended his hand towards her.

Yan Hong Xia felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Fortunately, as soon as Man Tianyao received the bowl of porridge, he started to slowly drink.

Seeing him finish and return the empty bowl, she clenched her teeth and said, "Sect Leader, Hong Xia will be leaving now."

Staring at her back, a cold light flashed across Man Tianyao's eyes. He obviously didn't trust Yan Hong Xia. A disciple personally trained by the Great Elder of the Medicine Sect would actually rebel out of the medical Sect for him? This joke was too big!

That day, Fan Qingju was beaten fifty times in the palace, and was brought back to the Fan family at the brink of death. Mother Fan was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to call for a doctor. Father Fan stopped her. "What other doctor?" She's a cripple now, and she still wants to live after offending the empress? "

Mother Fan shook, and did not dare reply, because she did not ask for a doctor. That night, Fan Qingju died and went to see Chu Yuer.

When Chu Qingyao heard that she was dead, she silently looked up at the sky and said to the original owner in her heart, "You can rest in peace. The people who harmed you have received their due retribution."

Two days later, Qing Yi suddenly came to the Duke Palace, "Mistress, one of Atractylodes chinensis Schneid's shop assistants suddenly went missing.

"What happened? Who was the missing person?" Although Chu Qingyao might not know the employees of Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, she was truly concerned about them.

"He's a errand boy. Mistress should have seen him before. He often comes in and out of the backyard to move things into the store."

"Chu Qingyao has some impression of this person. He is a skinny man in his twenties." If his family is in trouble, he can help. "

"I understand, Mistress."

At night, she went to find Xuanyuan Zhi and told him about the missing guy. Xuanyuan Zhileng harrumphed, "I'll get someone to kill him."

Chu Qingyao was shocked. A mere assistant couldn't afford to offend you, could it?

"He's the one who informed Fan Qingju in the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid." Xuanyuan Zhi knew that if he did not clarify it, Chu Qingyao would closely question him.

Chu Qingyao never thought that Fan Qingju would actually bribe the shop assistant, and felt a burst of fear in her heart. That day, she was in the backyard with Auntie Sun.

The Crown Prince, Xuanyuan Rui, had been rather quiet recently. The Emperor had asked for his opinion on political matters a few times in the imperial court, so he was able to figure out the sacred intent, allowing the ministers, who had been worried that the Emperor would cripple the crown prince, to calm down.

When the morning assembly ended, the emperor had unknowingly walked to the Hundred Flowers Palace. When the empress was still an imperial concubine, he would visit her every few days. He doted on her from the bottom of his heart. But ever since the imperial concubine became the empress, he couldn't find the same feeling he had in the past anymore. Every time he faced her, he felt that it was someone else.

This feeling was very strange. After walking around the Hundred Flowers Palace, it seemed like he should choose a few new disciples to enter the palace.

On the way back to the palace, they ran into the empress and empress. They didn't expect to meet the emperor here, so they took a step forward and bowed. "Chenqie greets the emperor."

No, no, no. In the past, when she worshiped him, she would always have a light body. Just a glance at her would have made him unable to control himself. He stepped forward and pulled her up. "Empress, Zhen just went to the Hundred Flowers Palace."

The empress's expression changed drastically as she clenched her nails into her palms. After a long while, she finally spoke. "Your consort isn't living there anymore. Could it be that Your Majesty has taken a fancy to a palace maid?"

The emperor embraced her. "Little demoness, you're saying angry words again. In my heart, you're the one and only." This woman had given her heart to the roasting king, so she wanted to be happy under his body. Thinking of this, he felt the pleasure of revenge.

As the two talked, it would become dark when they returned to Qianning Palace. After the meal, they embraced and entered the bedroom. Listening to the coquettish voice of the girl beneath them, they had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Suddenly, the Emperor lost interest. He put on his clothes and got off the bed. "I still have some paper money, so I'll come back another day."

The empress watched him leave with a cold expression.

When the emperor arrived outside, he saw a palace maid standing alone under a tree. She coughed lightly. When the woman saw that it was him, she hurriedly knelt down. "Your servant greets your majesty."

"Xiang Er? Why are you here? " Xuanyuan Xiao was extremely familiar with Bai Rouzhi's personal palace maid.

"I just had a bad dream and came out for a walk." Xiang Er bowed, got up and ran. Xiang Er was very beautiful, but very obedient. This was also the reason why Bai Rouzhi was able to keep her by his side the entire time.

In the palace, there had never been a woman who dared to hide from the emperor. Xuanyuan Xiao chased after her on a whim. He chased her all the way to Xiang Er's residence and grabbed her, "Let's see where you'll run to?"
