C90

What Leng Qiyue had sealed was only her inner strength. Her footwork could still be used, so the places they ran through were filled with arrows. However, their bodies were still intact.

Han Liu still thought he was lucky, because every time, he would be able to avoid danger.

Suddenly, Leng Qiyue saw an arrow flying straight towards Han Liu from the corner of her eye. It was too late for her to dodge. She shouted, "Be careful." Then he jumped onto her body …

Han Liu looked at the arrow on Leng Qiyue's shoulder in surprise. Blood immediately dyed her pale yellow dress red …

"Mother …" "Esteemed Empress …" Han Liu was shocked beyond belief. It wasn't because she was afraid of blood, but because Leng Qiyue, the Imperial Concubine, had actually helped her slave block arrows. Where could he find such a master? The absolute value of such a master can be reported as dead...

"Yue Er …" Bai Lan's silver armour was dripping with blood. From the looks of it, he had also gone through a round of slaughter.

"Save the empress …" When Han Liu saw Bai Lan in the Imperial Guard Commander's uniform, she knew that they were saved. However, Leng Qiyue could lose too much blood and die if her injuries were not dealt with in time.

Bai Lan pressed on Leng Qiyue's acupoints to stop the bleeding, then carried her in her arms and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

When Bai Lan carried the bloodied Leng Qiyue to the grand hospital, those imperial physicians were all shocked, and they even forgot to save her.

"What are you waiting for?" Hurry up and save them? " Bai Lan let out a loud shout that woke everyone up from their stupor, causing them to rush forward to treat her.

By the time Leng Qiyue woke up, three days had passed. There was poison on the arrow, but it still hadn't killed her. It only caused her to fall asleep for a few days.

When Han Liu saw Leng Qiyue open her eyes, she immediately called out with joy, "Your majesty, the Empress has awoken."

Leng Qiyue felt that someone was sitting beside her. She forced herself to open her eyes and saw that it was Dongfang Haotian. His handsome face was filled with fatigue, and his eyes were red. Leng Qiyue teased him, "Where did this rabbit come from? Its eyes are so red that they look cute."

Her words made Dongfang Haotian chuckle. After laughing, he said with concern, "Take good care of your wounds. We will find out who did this. Your martial arts will take a few more months to recover. Rest assured, I will no longer seal your inner strength, even if … "Even if you run away."

Leng Qiyue looked at Dongfang Haotian and probed, "Have you thought of something?"

Dongfang Haotian's eyes flashed and he said: "No, but Bai Lan told me about the past. I have also asked someone to investigate, so I believe that you are the person I love the most."

In her heart, Leng Qiyue wildly shouted, "How can one not know when one is unlucky!"

Dongfang Haotian saw that Leng Qiyue was fine and left. Leng Qiyue looked at her surroundings and said, "Xuanliu, where are we?"

Han Liu said, "Empress, we are at the Flying Sound Palace."

"Flying Sound Palace? So we're out of the cold house? "

Han Liu harrumphed and said, "The palace was built on the ruins of the previous dynasty. In the western corner, there is a remnant of the former dynasty's palace pavilion, which was later divided into the Cold Palace. And this Flying Sound Palace happens to be at the border of the Cold Palace, so … report back to the Empress, we are still staying in the Cold Palace.

Leng Qiyue suddenly felt her jubilant heart being grabbed by Han Liu. Then, she tied up all sorts of things before sinking down to the bottom of the sea.

"Empress, there's no need to be disappointed or discouraged. From what this servant sees, the emperor is still very nervous of the Empress. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been guarding you for three days and three nights."

"Three days and three nights? "You said that the Emperor is watching over me?" Leng Qiyue suspected that she was dreaming.

Seeing that Leng Qiyue did not believe him, Han Liu only smiled and did not say anything more.

Leng Qiyue was lying on her bed, analyzing the process of her encounter with an assassin. She remembered the arrow she had taken, and asked, "Where is the other half?"

Han Liu replied, "Niangniang, the Emperor took the arrow, but this servant has already drawn the map. Does Niangniang want to see it?"

Han Liu was different from the other palace maids, meticulous in their thoughts. She brought the picture of the broken arrow to Leng Qiyue, unfurled it and said, "There are no markings on this broken arrow, but this servant has discovered that the carving plume at the end of the arrow is of high quality. It must have been made by a master."

Leng Qiyue did not know much about these things, but she felt that these arrows were not as crude as the ones on TV. She sighed and said, "Since you said it was written by a famous expert, we can find some clues if we wanted to investigate. It's a pity that we'll have to swallow this loss this time."

Han Liu retracted her hand, folded the picture into her bosom and asked, "Why? The Emperor seems to be trying to get to the bottom of this. "

Leng Qiyue sneered, "A thorough investigation? "Even if we find out who the real culprit is, would he dare to make a move?"

Han Liu was extremely intelligent, and she had guessed most of the things that happened. She said indifferently, "Then does Empress have a next step to deal with this?"

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment before saying, "Only the empress dowager and the emperor know that I'm going to the lady academy. Since it's impossible for the emperor to kill me, the only one left is the empress dowager." Was it because I found the embroidery? However, I have already feigned ignorance and expressed my loyalty to her. She even sent me to the Maid Academy, so there shouldn't be any motive for her to kill me. "

"Yes, I know why." A voice suddenly came from the door, scaring the two girls.

Han Liu looked around and muttered, "Strange, there's no one here."

"It's me, you fool."

Han Liu looked down... Dog? She reached out her hand to push Leng Qiyue's leg, and woodenly said, "Empress, dogs know how to talk."

When Leng Qiyue saw Han Liu's expression, she said in amusement, "Yeah, dogs can talk."

Xue Ling swung her tail and walked in. She jumped onto the bed and laid down on Leng Qiyue's thigh. When her eyes swept over Leng Qiyue's wound, her pupils clearly shrank a little. It's not a strange thing for the empress dowager to buy a murderer. If she could, she would kill you with her own hands. "

Leng Qiyue smelled the scent of a conspiracy, "Stop trying to keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us what's going on?"

Xue Ling had yet to speak when Han Liu said from the side, "Empress, your servant isn't dreaming, right?"

Leng Qiyue looked at Han Liu doubtfully. Han Liu pointed at Xue Ling and asked, "Does a dog know how to talk?"

Leng Qiyue looked at Han Liu and then at Xue Ling, not knowing how to explain.

Han Liu smiled even more. She rubbed her forehead and said, "Empress, this servant must have been too tired in the past few days. This servant needs to go take a nap on leave." With that, Han Liu walked towards the door in a daze, only to bump into the door frame.

Xue Ling laughed. "That girl is scared silly."

Leng Qiyue said in a somewhat blaming manner, "It's all because of you. If you don't know how to control yourself, then you'd better shut up when someone else is around."

Xue Ling said carelessly, "If you're worried about Han Liu's character, you wouldn't have brought her back. Plus, it's better if you let her know earlier than later." There are some things that I can only pass on to her. The person beside you can't not have a message sent out. This time, it's the person who didn't pass on the message that delayed your time to save you. "

"Alright, alright, I understand. Quickly tell me, what is the motive for the Empress Dowager's murder of me?" Leng Qiyue interrupted Xue Ling's words.

Xue Ling raised her head and said, "I'll tell you if you kiss me."

Leng Qiyue did not refuse, and smacked Xue Ling's face.

Xue Ling then said in satisfaction, "You definitely won't be able to think of the empress dowager's true purpose in killing you."

Leng Qiyue snorted, "Nonsense. If I could have thought of it, I would have asked you. Stop bullshitting, hurry up and say it. "

"Yes, my lady." Xue Ling helplessly rolled her eyes and continued, "Do you know about the Emperor's talent show? Although it was the empress dowager's idea, the emperor's bastard didn't refuse. "It's better if you don't fall in love with him. I'll bring you to the snowy mountain to cultivate."

When Leng Qiyue saw that Xue Ling had brought up another topic, she could not help but reach out to pinch his ear and scold him, "If you continue talking such nonsense, I'll castrate you."

Xue Ling snorted and said, "You don't have to castrate me. My body is female."

"Eh? Female? " Leng Qiyue really did not pay attention to this matter.

Xue Ling said angrily, "I only found out that she was a female after I got on her body. It caused me to be harassed by Young Master Rong's mottled dog every day."

Leng Qiyue chuckled, but suddenly realized that their conversation had drifted off topic again. She hurriedly said, "Stop, you're not allowed to talk about other topics. Hurry up and tell me why the empress dowager wants to kill me."
