Seeing Qingluan's gesture of wiping his neck, Fang Chen felt a little nervous.
This pretty girl is also a werewolf!
Thinking back to Ye Xue'e, Fang Chen said softly: "This is indeed a problem."
"Does father-in-law think so too?"
Qingluan nodded and said: "Your Majesty is sometimes too kind-hearted. If Ye Guiren is alive and that woman finds out, father-in-law, you will be exposed."
Fang Chen squinted his eyes and fumbled with his fingers for the poison that could make people fall into suspended animation: "You really can't be careless about this. I'm going to test it first."
Holding the small jade bottle, Fang Chen came to Lingqing Palace and asked the palace maid Hongxiu to report.
Like the previous two times, Ye Xue'e seemed very enthusiastic about his arrival.
"Father-in-law, did you copy the poems so quickly?"
Fang Chen first apologized: "I disappoint you, those little poets haven't copied it completely."
"It's okay, father-in-law, please sit down."
Ye Xue'e smiled gently and asked Hong Xiu to make tea.
Seeing the palace maid leave, Fang Chen asked tentatively: "I heard that the empress entered the palace as a show girl?"
Ye Xue'e didn't think much, nodded and said: "What my father-in-law said is true."
"It's rare to see a woman as talented and beautiful as your empress in the world. I don't know where her hometown is. It must be a place where she is outstanding." Fang Chen said with a smile.
"Father-in-law, you're welcome."
Ye Xue'e smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law and I had just the right idea. My hometown is the barren state in the north, the most desolate place in Great Yan."
Fang Chen was a little embarrassed and said in relief: "Fortunately, the deserted state is desolate and the population is poor. It is a blessing after all the hardships for the empress to enter the palace and become a prosperous person."
Ye Xue'e lowered her eyes: "People in the world only wish to be born in the emperor's family, how can they know the hardships involved?"
Fang Chen's heart moved. Hearing the meaning of these words, Ye Xue'e didn't seem to like her current life very much.
He said deliberately: "What? Is the empress dissatisfied with something in the palace?"
"Not really."
Ye Xue'e looked at Fang Chen. After three meetings, she had a good impression of Fang Chen. Naturally, she had preconceived notions.
I think Fang Chen is a talented and knowledgeable person who has the same interests as myself.
Secondly, Fang Chen was not like other eunuchs who were humble and fawning towards her, so they would not feel uncomfortable talking to her.
Therefore, she does not dislike Fang Chen.
Immediately he said: "My father-in-law is amazingly talented. Don't you know that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea?"
"The empress doesn't like life in the palace?" Fang Chen asked again.
Ye Xue'e smiled and did not answer directly. She just said: "The world outside is far more exciting than here."
"Your Majesty." Hongxiu came up with tea and hurriedly reminded her.
How can you say this to other people?
What if it spreads and His Majesty hears it?
Ye Xue'e smiled and said, "Hongxiu, please step aside first. I have something to tell my father-in-law."
After Hongxiu left, Ye Xue'e picked up the tea and took a sip. Then she said, "Father-in-law, counting this time, this is my third visit."
Fang Chen nodded, and then he heard Ye Xue'e say.
"It's the Queen, let the father-in-law come."
Fang Chen clicked his tongue and looked at Ye Xue'e's pretty face.
This woman is not what she thought, she is just a weak woman who likes poetry and articles.
She is very thoughtful!
Without denying it, Fang Chen said: "Your Majesty, do you know?"
Ye Xue'e sighed softly: "Your Majesty stayed at Lingqing Palace for four consecutive days, which is an honor that the Queen has never received."
"Although I have only met with your Majesty very rarely in the past year or so, I am also aware of the intrigues in the harem. My father-in-law is also a close person of your Majesty, so it is not difficult to guess."
Saying that, Ye Xue'e smiled and said: "Whether you believe it or not, please tell my father-in-law to tell the queen that your majesty only comes to Lingqing Palace to rest and does not do anything else."
If she wants to do it, she must have the ability.
Fang Chen complained in his heart, he was sure that Ye Xue'e really didn't like being in this palace.
At that moment, he didn't hide anything and said softly: "Your Majesty is right, the villain is sent by the Queen."
"What advice does the Queen have?" Ye Xue'e said calmly.
Fang Chen said: "She asked me to kill you, my empress."
Ye Xue'e was stunned, even though she had a calm temperament, she couldn't help but be shocked: "She, how dare she!"
Fang Chen said: "My queen is jealous of the queen because of your majesty, so she is helpless. You are right, once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea."
"Even if you don't want to fight, I still can't stay out of it."
Ye Xue'e smiled bitterly and looked up at Fang Chen who was standing up. There was no fear on her face: "When will father-in-law plan to take action?"
Taking out the medicine given by Qingluan from his sleeve, Fang Chen stepped forward and placed it next to Ye Xue'e.
Looking at the jade bottle in trance, Ye Xue'e felt a little sad.
Since the Queen did this and Fang Chen said this, it meant that he could not escape. Even if he escaped the first day of the junior high school, he could not escape the fifteenth day.
What I was worried about came, and even though I didn't fight or grab it, others didn't let me go after all.
She picked up the jade bottle and said softly: "Father, can you promise me something?"
"Mother, please speak." Fang Chen said.
Ye Xue'e: "This girl in Hongxiu is pitiful. I hope my father-in-law will help me take care of her after I leave."
As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her arms and said softly: "This jade is a family heirloom, so I'll take it as a thank you gift to my father-in-law."
"Don't worry, my queen, she won't suffer."
"Thank you very much, father-in-law."
After removing the stopper, Ye Xue'e drank the medicine in the bottle in one gulp and placed the bottle on the table.
Fang Chen's eyes were full of admiration, he was so calm, and there was absolutely no fear on his face.
This Ye Xue'e is really not simple.
Soon, the effect of the medicine took effect, and Ye Xue'e walked to the couch, lay down and gently closed her eyes.
I just hope that I will not enter the imperial family in my next life.
Picking up the jade bottle and the jade pendant given by Ye Xue'e, Fang Chen walked out of the hall.
"Father-in-law?" Hong Xiu, who was guarding outside, called.
Fang Chen smiled and said: "My queen is resting. Come with me to the Internal Affairs Office."
Taking Hong Xiu back to the Internal Affairs Prison, Fang Chen copied down all the poems he could think of that he liked and gave them to Hong Xiu.
"Just think of it as a gift from me to my queen, and you can give it to her after she wakes up."
The red-sleeved girl nodded and left.
Fang Chen went to Qingluan and told her that Ye Xue'e had taken the medicine.
"So fast?" Qingluan asked in surprise.
Fang Chen: "The girl named Hongxiu next to her, you should also send her out of the palace together."
Qingluan frowned, but still nodded in agreement.
The next day.
The harem was shaken, and Ye Guiren died suddenly in the middle of the night. According to the Great Yan ancestral system, those who died in vain were not allowed to enter the mausoleum.
The emperor was very sad and ordered a thorough investigation of the cause. For a time, the whole harem was in a state of panic, and the maids and eunuchs were as silent as a cicada.
With the emperor's cooperation, Fang Chen successfully completed the task assigned to him by Lu Caihuang.
After Ye Xue'e's "corpse" was transported out of the palace, Fang Chen was immediately summoned.
