Chapter 301 She’s Not Dead

 After a while, Mrs. Fu also came back, and Fu Yao asked Biyu not to mention this matter.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Yao just got off the carriage when he saw someone riding a horse, carrying a large cage in his hand. There was a ball of snow inside the cage. Fu Yao took a second look, and then saw the horse riding on the Prime Minister's house.

Stopping in front of the mansion gate, the guard on horseback dismounted and carefully carried the cage to Fu Yao and Mrs. Fu.

"My subordinates paid homage to the Queen and Madam Fu."

Mrs. Fu saw that this was Li Yan's guard and said with a smile: "You're welcome."

The guard then looked at Fu Yao, who had a calm look on his face: "Your Majesty has ordered that the newly caught fox be sent to the Queen. Because it is a wild animal and may be wild and untamable, a beast tamer will be sent from the palace.

"

Fu Yao followed the guard's words and looked at the fox in the cage.

The fox is not very big, just as big as a one- or two-year-old dog. It is all white with no mottled colors, and its fur is bright, but it does not look like it is in good spirits. It lies in the cage with a guarded look.

"Your Majesty also asked me to tell you that if the Queen feels comfortable living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When you come back from the paddock, the Emperor will come to pick you up."

Fu Yao nodded lightly: "I understand, please bring the fox in."

"yes."

Biyu stepped forward and led the guards to send the fox inside.

Outside the tent, Lu Xiyao lowered her head aggrievedly when she heard these words. The guard stood in front of her and said, "Miss Lu, the emperor has ordered you not to embarrass us. Please go back."

"..."

After the man in black left, Wuyue also left the teahouse.

Wuyue looked back in surprise.

The guard was stunned for a moment and shook his head sincerely: "No."

Fu Yao and her daughter were just two helpless women, but they were allowed to come back safely?

"I didn't expect that they were aware of Dongxue's problem from the beginning and were not on the carriage in front of them at all. Later they realized that it was too late when they wanted to take action in the Great Buddhist Temple. They tried to take action twice but failed.

They were stopped by an old monk, and they returned to the capital safely."

She quietly pinched her palms to prevent her emotions from leaking out, nodded to the guard and turned around to leave.

"How did you get into the paddock?

"I want to come in, so I have a way." Wu Yue didn't want to explain more, but walked to the side and sat down and looked at Lu Xiyao: "What were you thinking about just now?"

"Old monk?"

The guard saw Fu Yao looking over, and then said: "The Punishment Department is in charge of prisons. Dongxue intended to murder the empress and his wife. He should have been jailed and punished. Moreover, the Punishment Department has more abundant interrogation methods."

"Your Majesty, a maid named Dong Xue from the Prime Minister's Mansion intended to murder the Queen and Mrs. Fu, and has been captured and sent to the Criminal Department."

Li Yan replied impatiently.

"The guards around the Queen said that the Queen was the first to notice something was wrong with Dong Xue, so she was not harmed."

"Hmph." Wuyue sneered: "If I spare her life, will the Criminal Department spare her life? Even if she doesn't know much, she must be cautious at this time and not be careless at all."

Back at her residence, Lu Xiyao walked around the tent.



In the teahouse compartment, Wuyue saw the guards riding away outside the window, and put down the teacup in his hand heavily. The people who came in from the door stood silently in the dark corner.

After hearing this, Li Yan calmed down, but suddenly frowned: "The queen herself... didn't mention this matter?"

"Is Fu Yao dead?" Lu Xiyao followed closely and asked.

"Could it be that he was also arranged by Li Yan?

Wuyue murmured, but had no time to think more. If he failed this time, he was on guard, and he was afraid that he would have no chance.

Fu Yao thought for a while and nodded: "Send it over."

She just saw the guard who gave Fu Yao the fox come back, but she didn't know what he said. The emperor's tone seemed unhappy. Could it be that Wu Yue succeeded?

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yue said: "That Dong Xue is of no use anymore. Find a way to solve it. Do what you should do after that. Don't show your face. I will contact you again if the Queen Mother has any instructions."

"Your Majesty, this is Miss Lu."

"yes."

"Miss Wuyue, Dongxue doesn't know a lot of inside information, and she is now sent to the Ministry of Punishments. How about leaving her alive?"

"Let her go back!"

"How will the queen react if you send the fox back?" Li Yan asked again.

"In the woodshed at the back."

"……yes."

"What is Miss Lu thinking?"

The guard thought for a while: "The Queen is very calm and asked her subordinates to send the fox in. She has no other instructions."

"If you can't do this well, what use are you?"

Fu Yao asked someone to send Mrs. Fu back again. She asked the guard on the side: "Where is Dong Xue?"

I couldn't get any news, and Wu Yue didn't come back. I don't know what Fu Yao's condition is.

Li Yan fell silent and waved his hands impatiently. After the guards went out, voices soon came from outside. Li Yan said with a solemn face: "Who is making the noise?"

"No, she hasn't spoken since she was caught. No matter how I ask, she just won't say anything. Queen, this matter must have been instigated by someone who is too thick, but these people rarely betray their companions. In my opinion,

, there will be no results from interrogation, it is better to send it to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Did you ask anything?"

The man standing in the darkness nodded and said: "I heard that he is a monk in the name of the Great Buddha Temple. He often travels abroad. I don't know why he suddenly came back today. He met Fu Yao and then left. Fu Yao and the others returned to Beijing."

At that time, in addition to the guards around me, this old monk also secretly helped me, so I didn't succeed."

Lu Xiyao glanced inside reluctantly.

The guard who sent the fox back to the paddock entered the main tent entrance.

When Lu Xiyao was anxious, Wu Yue's voice suddenly came to her ears. Lu Xiyao suddenly looked up, saw Wu Yue who came in at some unknown time, and looked outside again.

When Li Yan heard these words, his expression suddenly changed: "How is the situation?"

Wu Yue shook his head: "No, not only did he not die, he was not injured at all, and he even received a fox that Li Yan sent back specially to please her."

"How could it be! I just heard that the emperor was in a bad mood. How could she not die? Didn't you say you could do this? Why didn't she die?"

"I just said that I can give it a try, but I have never promised you whether I can die. Besides..." Wuyue said lightly: "Fu Yao has guards specially arranged by Li Shi. If he dies so easily,

Well, you still put so much thought into it?"

"What now?"
