Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 44
And the fragrance of the medicine powder and the faint fragrance from Yun Qing's body also caused a strange feeling in Xuanyuan Ze's heart, making his eyes slightly dark from the softness at the beginning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sensing his movements suddenly stagnated, Yun Qing's heart rang loudly, she hurriedly pulled up her clothes, turned her body slightly when he lost his mind, and quickly jumped off the bed to salute Xuanyuan Ze.

Xuanyuanze was taken aback by her actions, and seeing her guarded face towards him, the unhappiness in his heart couldn't help being aroused again.

"Hurry up and get someone to come in and change your clothes for you. I'll wait for you outside the hall!" After leaving a faint sentence, Xuanyuan Ze lifted the curtain and walked out of the hall while Yun Qing was confused.

Change clothes?

Yun Qing's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frowned, thinking that he just sent someone to send his court clothes, does he want to stay here to sleep?If yes, what should she do?
She was secretly anxious inside, but she heard Xuanyuan Ze order Xiao Taohong to come in and change the queen's clothes outside, and then ordered other palace attendants: "I am going to have breakfast here today, you ask the imperial chef to prepare it quickly!"

Then Yun Qing heard his gradually leaving footsteps, and Ling Ge arranging the palace people to be busy, and her heart was lightly relieved.

It was past Yin time, and it was time to go to court after he had eaten his breakfast, so it turned out that he had misunderstood what he meant.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile comfortably, making Xiao Taohong who came in to change her clothes very curious, and endured the question until now, only then did she have the chance to find out from Yun Qing.

The next day, almost the entire palace knew that the emperor had actually stayed in Jinfeng Palace that night, and did not leave until morning.

This also made the people in Zhuhua Palace restless, they were not only jealous of Yun Qing's favor, but also worried about the unresolved matter.

In just a few days, Concubine Hua lost her former brilliance, and she looked much haggard.

Yesterday afternoon, when Ning'er came back and told her that the emperor was playing chess with the empress in Yuhua, her jealousy almost made her lose her mind.

But she knew that she must not be complacent at the moment, that woman was not as simple as she imagined.From the fact that she had confused the emperor in a short period of time, it was enough to prove that she was his greatest threat.

Snapped!
Breaking off the jasper hairpin in front of her, He Ruowan looked at the eclipsed face in the mirror, all the hatred turned into a sharp knife that made people crazy, gouging out her heart again and again.Ning'er behind her was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, and she squatted down to pick it up.

"Yunqing!" He Ruowan gritted out these two words between her teeth, she wished she could tear that damned woman into pieces immediately!

She has pushed herself to such an extent step by step, is she still going to steal the emperor's heart?

No, she won't let her continue to be proud, she, He Ruowan, will never let her be so happy!
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Looking at the empress with a very pale face, Ning'er was also full of melancholy, worried about their current status.

The emperor didn't come to Zhuhua Palace at all these days, and stayed in the imperial study room all day long under the pretext of being busy with state affairs; however, yesterday he clearly came to court from the Queen's Golden Phoenix Palace, this...

"Ning'er, go and tell the elder brother, let him silence that person!" Tightening her fingertips, He Ruowan's eyes flashed with fierceness from the heart. For the sake of the empress, she was not recruited out even after undergoing such severe torture in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, why don't the empress..."

"What do you know?" With a sharp voice, He Ruowan's face revealed a viciousness that Ning'er dared not look at, making her knees go weak, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake: "Your servant is guilty, please calm down."

"Hmph!" She shook her sleeves heavily and stood up, He Ruowan's chest heaved continuously, then she seemed to remember something, and ordered: "When will I get news from the person I asked Big Brother to find?"

"Back to your mother, the Eldest Young Master asked the servant to go to him again at noon to wait for an answer! The servant will go right away, I believe that the Eldest Young Master will never let the Empress down!" Ning'er hurriedly replied, knowing that the Empress was in a bad mood, let alone the situation was urgent , she did not dare to delay.

He Ruowan was full of irritability, hearing what Ning'er said, she urged: "You go now, my concubine is waiting for you here!"

She can't wait for a moment, now is the critical moment of her life and death, she must be ruthless and save herself at all costs.

Yunqing!Damn woman, she must not lose to her, absolutely not!

"Miss, the medicine powder of Imperial Physician Hua is really effective. After only two days, there is no trace of injury on Miss's shoulder." Bi Tao dried Yun Qing who had just come out of the bath, and looked at the skin on her shoulder. It is as smooth as ever, and I can't help but sigh the magic of the powder.

"Well, it's amazing!" Yun Qing hummed lightly, unconsciously remembering the scene where Xuanyuan Ze applied medicine for herself that night, her face couldn't help but blush.

In the past two days, she heard that the emperor's edict had been sent to the southeast at a high speed. Although some courtiers still opposed it, but hearing that the Queen Mother supported it, all the officials turned off their fire and changed to wait and see what happened. News from the disaster area in the southeast.

Xuanyuan Ze from the Ministry of Punishment had no more news for her, and Xuanyuan Yi's injury also slightly improved under Hua Heng's treatment.Yun Qing visited him every day, but the way he looked at her became more complicated.

Yun Qing didn't understand what was going on in his mind, but every time she went there, she would intentionally or unintentionally mention to him the Queen Mother's concern for him, but he never responded.

"Miss, miss, the emperor is here!" Xiao Taohong hurried in, looked at Yun Qing who had already bathed and hurriedly reported: "Miss, the emperor is waiting for miss in the hall! He looks not very good, he seems to be out What's up."

Yun Qing was slightly startled, and instinctively thought that something had happened to the Southeast Edict, but on second thought, it was only two days, and it would take at least four or five days to travel from the southeast land to Tiancheng even without stopping.

However, apart from the matter in the southeast, why is he rushing here at this moment?

Thinking about it, she also couldn't figure out the reason, looking at her hair that was not completely dry, it was too late to tie it up, so she simply combed it, put on her coat and went out to meet you.

When he saw Yun Qing with black hair hanging directly behind him, Xuanyuan Ze's original anger was also slightly startled, and he turned into looking at such a soft and charming her in a daze.

"Seeing that you are late, Yunqing asks the emperor to forgive you!" With a slight blessing, Yunqing respectfully apologized to Xuanyuanze who was sitting in the hall, but he quickly stretched out his long hand and gently held it Started: "The queen is free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When he stared straight at her with his handsome eyes, Yun Qing also blushed, feeling a little embarrassed that she came to see him like this.

"You all back down!" Xuanyuan Ze coughed softly, stretched out his hand and waved everyone away, and then his voice sank, and he said with some displeasure: "I came to look for the Queen tonight, and I want the Queen to see something."

"What?" Yun Qing wondered slightly, not knowing what he would let her see.

Xuanyuanze took out a plain handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to Yun Qing, and said in a deep voice: "This is the only thing handed over by the criminal department after the prisoner Chen Jingzhi hanged himself, and it is also a piece of handkerchief that the prisoner has been wearing all the time. But, There is nothing else on it except a poem inscribed on it."

"What, that man hanged himself?" Yun Qing was startled, his eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn't believe that the prisoner who was the only clue to the assassination incident actually hanged himself.

And Xuanyuanze nodded helplessly, and didn't make another sound.

This is the news he wanted to tell her tonight. Originally, he was confident that he would be able to find out who was behind the scenes; but unexpectedly, the prisoner had already hanged himself.

Yun Qing took the piece of plain cotton in shock, and saw that it was just a piece of very common cloth brocade, and this kind of material could be found anytime no matter inside or outside the palace.

Even the poem on the handkerchief is just a very ordinary little poem, without any special artistic conception at all.

"When did this happen?" Xiumei frowned slightly, Yun Qing looked at the ordinary veil, wondering what his plan was now.

"One hour ago." Xuanyuan Ze's complexion was not good, it could be seen that he was really angry this time.

Unexpectedly, when the clue was about to become clear, something went wrong suddenly, and the only key, Chen Jingzhi, hanged himself.

All of this was clearly manipulated by someone secretly!If that person is really someone close to him, then he really can't imagine how deep his scheming is?
"How does the emperor plan to deal with it?" Yun Qing looked at his tightly wrinkled handsome eyebrows, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Presumably he also had a headache, if it wasn't that person, it would be okay, if it was, she could imagine how shocked he would be.

"Continue to investigate thoroughly! I don't believe that the person who manipulated Chen Jingzhi would hide it so well that he could hide it from the world without leaving any trace!" He clenched his fists tightly, not only to tell Yun Qing, but also to warn himself: This time, we must not tolerate and raise the villain again, and let the person behind the scenes become more and more lawless!

"The emperor has such a heart, Yun Qing is really grateful! However, since the person is dead, the emperor should let it go..." Yun Qing gratefully thanked, then sighed quietly, with indescribable helplessness in her heart.

"I won't give up!" Xuanyuan Ze looked at the disappointment in her eyes, thinking that she was very disappointed in him, and immediately he took back the Supa from Yun Qing's hand, staring at it tightly with his handsome eyes, and then Clenching her fists tightly, she said to Yun Qing: "I still have something to do first, the queen should rest earlier!"

As he said that, he and Xiao Lezi prepared to leave the Golden Phoenix Palace.

"Farewell to the emperor!" Yun Qing stood up and saluted. At this time, there was an urgent voice begging to see him from outside the hall, followed by Kant, the father-in-law of Concubine Hua's palace, who rushed into the hall eagerly, and gave Xuanyuan Ze a thump. Kneeling down, he said loudly: "This servant deserves to die, this servant has disturbed Shengjia, please forgive me!"

"Since you know you deserve to die, why are you screaming?" Chang Le raised his voice and reprimanded the eunuch who broke in rashly, and saw the eunuch kept begging for mercy, and explained: "The slave is guilty, the slave deserves to die! Please Your Majesty, hurry up to see Concubine Hua! Your Majesty fainted suddenly while taking a bath, and the servants ran to Longgan Palace only to hear that the Emperor is here, so they hurried here again, please, Your Majesty, go and see your Majesty!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed non-stop, causing Xuanyuan Ze's heart to jump, and immediately asked nervously, "What's going on?"

"I don't know, I have already passed on the imperial doctor! It's just that the empress has been yelling at the emperor when she woke up, and I implore the emperor to go to Zhuhua Palace to see the empress!" Kant burst into tears, causing Yun Qing to raise her eyebrows and turn her head. He looked at Xuanyuan Ze whose expression had changed slightly at this moment.

It could be seen that he was still very nervous when he heard that Concubine Hua had passed out; the firm expression on his face just now was immediately forgotten when he heard that Concubine Hua had passed out suddenly.

Sensing Yun Qing's cold gaze, Xuanyuan Ze was slightly startled, his gaze couldn't help being slightly complicated.Then he suddenly said: "Since that's the case, the queen will go with me to see Concubine Hua!"

Lifting Yun Qing's beautiful eyes, she met his handsome eyes unexpectedly, and he looked straight at himself, as if if she didn't go, he wouldn't go.

Xiumei frowned, Yun Qing didn't know why he came here?
Although as a queen, when a concubine in the harem is ill, she should be the first to go to comfort her, to show the virtue of the queen.

But hearing the tone of the eunuch in Concubine Hua's palace, Concubine Hua kept calling for the emperor when she woke up, because she wanted to see him alone.If she went with him again, it might be another guess in her opinion.

"Let's go!" Seeing that she was silent and did not urge her, Xuanyuan Ze just directly took Yun Qing's hand, and wanted to take her along.

"Your Majesty, please go ahead, Yun Qing still needs to make up." Somewhat embarrassed, Yun Qing withdrew her hand, thinking it was better not to go with him.

What's more, her hair is disheveled, and it is very inappropriate to go to Zhuhua Palace just now.

"Well, I'll wait for you here!" Zhuanyuanze seemed determined to be with her, but Yunqing had no choice but to let Xiaotaohong and Bitaojian comb her hair, and then went out with Xuanyuanze Golden Phoenix Palace.
