After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 206 Suspicious Clouds

Time is near Zi Shi.

Under the cold and distant night, the front hall of the palace was still brightly lit, with ninety-nine everlasting lamps burning day and night. The palace people prayed for their emperor all night long in the palace, praying that the seventeen-year-old emperor would be as good as the emperor. Ye Yunhan, the founding emperor of Dajing, was as prosperous as the emperor, and he had a long and prosperous life like Emperor Longde.

And the Yichun Palace, which was once so popular, was like a past event forgotten in a corner. During this grand feast, it was inappropriately quiet and lonely.

No one would have thought that tonight's protagonist, the emperor of Da Jing, Ye Qinghuai, was huddled in a corner of this unattended palace at this moment.

Yichun Palace has not been inhabited for a long time. It is not as warm as Kunning Palace, which is full of charcoal fires. The palace exudes a cold and damp smell.

Ye Qinghuai held his arms with one hand, closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and his whole body was tense, as if he was fighting against something.

The chill penetrated her body and made her feel awake.

She recalled what happened tonight in her mind and thought quickly.

Was the Queen's behavior tonight due to her own intention or Gu Shihai's instruction? Whose order did the guard who was killed by her hand appear in Kunning Palace under whose order? If Gu Shihai was behind all this, then something must have happened recently that prompted him to take sudden action.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered that Gu Shihai's wife Liang Yuying had just entered the palace yesterday to reminisce with the queen. Li Baoquan had reported the matter to her. At that time, she felt that it was because she rewarded Chen Julian to go out of the palace to visit relatives, and the queen was upset and wanted to regain her face. Yicheng, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just told the Imperial Army and Shen Guixi not to let Liang Yuying and the attendants she brought into the palace get close to the Wanxue Palace where Gu Haiwang was being guarded.

Thinking about it now, Liang Yuying's entry into the palace was not as simple as she thought.

Ye Qinghuai even felt that the cup of aphrodisiac wine that made her worse than death at the moment was probably brought to Gu Feiyan by Liang Yuying when she entered the palace this time.

After all, with Gu Feiyan's temperament of not being able to hide things, if she really brought her in when she entered the palace, she might have found a way to feed Ye Qinghuai a drink on the wedding night.

In any case, the most important thing right now is to find out the identity of the guard. As long as we find out who he is, everything will be solved.

Thinking of this, Ye Qinghuai became worried again.

Since Zhao Yinshi took over as the commander of the Forbidden Army, there have been several blood changes in the Forbidden Army. Ye Qinghuai thought that all the Forbidden Army were trustworthy people. But now it seems that the Forbidden Army is not monolithic.

Could this matter be related to Zhao Yinshi? After all, he was transferred from Gu Haiwang's Gyeonggi Guard. Although He Qingchang was a guarantor, He Qingchang was not a person who could be fully trusted.

Various thoughts filled Ye Qinghuai's mind. She felt her body was hot, but her heart was getting colder and colder.

They all say that everything in the world is the land of the king, and everything on the shore of the land is the king's ministers. However, there are millions of civil and military officials in this dynasty and tens of thousands of servants in the harem, but she can not trust anyone. She couldn't even relax for a moment and show any tenderness to anyone. If she hadn't felt pity and guilt for the queen today, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

She suddenly thought of Qin Baozhu.

That may be the only person in this palace who can make her take off her mask and treat her sincerely.

It's a pity that there is only one Qin Baozhu in the world.

And she failed to protect her.

"Dong dong dong——" There was a knocking sound on the palace door.

Immediately, a familiar voice to Ye Qinghuai sounded softly outside the door: "Your Majesty, can I come in?"

It's Zhou Shouyi.

Ye Qinghuai raised his head, the hand holding his left arm finally relaxed, and said: "Come in."

As soon as Zhou Shou opened the door and saw Ye Qinghuai leaning on the bed in the dim moonlight, he couldn't help but become nervous. He almost jogged to Ye Qinghuai's side and reached out to touch her pulse.

Behind him, Shen Guiyi, who followed, also looked nervous. Zhou Shouyi was worthy of being an old doctor who had worked in the palace all his life. He could get a general idea from Ye Qinghuai's appearance and pulse almost in one breath.

He immediately withdrew his hand that took the pulse, and looked at Ye Qinghuai with a questioning look that was a bit shocked.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him and knew what he was asking in his eyes. He nodded and said to him in a low voice: "I came out of Kunning Palace and drank a glass of wine from the queen there."

Zhou Shou frowned when he heard the strangeness in her voice and said, "Your Majesty, please stop talking."

He rummaged in the medicine box behind him for a while, took out a small bottle, poured out two pills, put them in Ye Qinghuai's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, take this first, it will make you feel better."

Ye Qinghuai took the pill, and without doubting him, he raised his head and swallowed it.

"This... there is no ready-made antidote for this poison. I have to go back to the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine and decoction. It will probably take an hour." Zhou Shouyi said before getting up and leaving.

"Grandpa Zhou, wait a moment." Ye Qinghuai called him to stop him. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Shen Guiyi behind him, and his words stopped on his lips.

After all, Shen Guiyi is still half an outsider.

So she turned the conversation to Shen Guiyi and asked, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"Your Majesty, my servant did not find the body that Your Majesty mentioned in Kunning Palace." Shen Guixi replied.

"What did you say?" Ye Qinghuai was so surprised that he even forgot to lower his voice to speak.

Shen Guixi paused for a moment and replied: "My servant has checked all the main halls of Kunning Palace. Only the queen is sleeping peacefully in the hall, and no other people or... corpses are seen."

Ye Qinghuai frowned in confusion: "Did you see any blood or any traces of dragging in the courtyard?"

Shen Guiyi shook his head and said: "No, there is no blood stain in the yard, and there are no signs of fighting."

Ye Qinghuai looked at Shen Guiyi. The little girl looked directly into her eyes. There was some confusion in her clear eyes, but she didn't dodge in any way.

It doesn't look like you're lying.

Ye Qinghuai fell silent.

Could it be that someone took care of the scene after she left?

But right now she can't even protect herself, let alone investigate the matter. What's more, she didn't want to make a fuss about it.

She thought for a long time and said to Shen Gui: "You have worked hard today, go and rest. Don't tell anyone what happened today. Come to Jingshou Palace to see me tomorrow afternoon."

Shen Guixi responded, retreated, and closed the palace door.

After she walked away, Zhou Shouyi looked at Ye Qinghuai and said worriedly: "Your Majesty is not safe here alone. I will go and ask Aunt Fanghua to come over."

Ye Qinghuai immediately rejected him and said: "No. No one can know about this matter today. I have to go out from Kunning Palace to attend the morning court tomorrow."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Shouyi immediately became angry. He ignored the etiquette of monarchs and ministers and said, "Are you crazy? Are you going to court with such a voice?"
