Following closely behind her was Leng Qiyue, who held onto her flexible sword and chased after her in an aggressive manner.
Dongfang Haotian stood up to block Leng Qiyue and shouted, "What are you crazy about?"
Leng Qiyue pointed at Dongfang Haotian's nose and said, "You dare to stop me? This slut dares to give a snack mixed with poison to my son, do you think you should kill her? "
Die Concubine kneeled on the ground and cried, "Your concubine doesn't have it. Your concubine saw the little princess and the First Prince playing in the imperial garden today and gave them some snacks. Your concubine doesn't know that the snacks were poisonous!"
Dongfang Haotian pushed away the butterfly consort's hand and said, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened?"
"When I passed by the Imperial Garden today, I saw the princess and the First Prince playing. Coincidentally, a palace maid walked by with a snack in her hand, so I brought out a plate of walnut cake and gave it to them. When the imperial concubine saw this, she immediately slapped Chenqie, saying that Chenqie wanted to poison the First Prince to death. "
Dongfang Haotian frowned. Dim? "Another snack, could it be that the one Qing Xin ate was also carried out from there?" Which palace did the snacks come from? "
She thought for a moment and said, "I think it's the Palace of Virtue. That palace maid is in charge of cleaning there."
Leng Qiyue's gaze turned cold. She did not really want to kill Dian Fei, as she knew Dian Fei was innocent. However, if she did not make a ruckus like this, how could she find out the truth?
Dongfang Haotian looked at Leng Qiyue and asked, "Are the children alright?"
Leng Qiyue nodded and put away her flexible sword.
Dongfang Haotian said, "Alright, since it's a misunderstanding, then my beloved concubine, you should go back to the palace and rest."
Butterfly looked timidly at Leng Qiyue, but seeing that she did not move, she quickly bowed and took her leave.
Dongfang Haotian said to the surrounding eunuchs: "All of you, leave. No one is allowed to enter without my order."
"Your servant obeys the decree!"
When only Leng Qiyue and Dongfang Haotian were left in the room, he said, "The empress dowager has already avoided An Guoguo Temple."
Leng Qiyue nodded, "I know, Han Liu and Xiaodie have told me about what happened in the palace recently. It must have been Her Majesty who, knowing the destruction of the Eastworks, had allowed Qing to poison the people with fever and diarrhoea, and then left the palace in the name of the Blessed One. It's just that I don't know why she chose An Guoguo Temple.
Dongfang Haotian said, "The Temple of Peace was built for the founder of the country when it was first founded. Once you enter there, no one is allowed to bring any weapons with them. No one is allowed to kill or force their way in. So, when Her Majesty entered the Temple of An Guo, I couldn't do anything about her. "
"Why can't I? Shouldn't we just bring her back? " Leng Qiyue said.
Dongfang Haotian said, "We can't force her. As long as she doesn't want to go through that door, we can't touch her."
Leng Qiyue was speechless. What kind of lousy rule was this?
Dongfang Haotian held Leng Qiyue's hand and said, "If the empress dowager doesn't kill me, then I won't be able to rest at ease for one day. It's fortunate that you stopped me in time, otherwise our child might … "Ai …"
Leng Qiyue also began to feel fear. If she hadn't returned to the palace, if she hadn't gone to the imperial garden in time, then … The consequences were unimaginable.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe that this old demoness can't defeat her."
Dongfang Haotian patted Leng Qiyue's shoulder and said, "Her goal is not just to get me off my horse, her goal is to destroy this country."
Leng Qiyue let Dongfang Haotian pull her down and sit her down. She said, "We have to think of a way. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Your rights are no longer small. If the empress dowager doesn't come out, it shouldn't affect you too much."
Dongfang Haotian shook his head and said: "There are still many ministers of the court watching the fire from the other side of the river. If the empress dowager doesn't get rid of them, then I won't be able to wield power for a day. Now that the empress dowager is at An Guo Temple, there's nothing I can do about it. "
Leng Qiyue said, "We have to think of a way. I'll go back and think about it. You must have a lot of memorials for the past few days, don't you want to read them?"
Dongfang Haotian nodded and said: "Alright, your beloved concubine should go home and rest early."
"Yes." Leng Qiyue acknowledged him and walked out of the Lying Dragon Palace. When she saw him waiting outside, she asked, "Aren't you sick as well?"
"Your servant is waiting to return to the emperor, Your Highness," he said.
Leng Qiyue said, "Let's go in."
"Servant obeys." Someone helped him in. He was not young, and that was half the way to his death.
Leng Qiyue returned to the palace to take a hot bath before lying down. Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and based on the date, she reckoned that she would be giving birth in a few months. Now she could think of no way to deal with the Empress, and she was clever enough to know that if East plant was destroyed and kept in the palace there would be trouble, so she arranged for a disease similar to the plague to run away on the pretext of blessing.
As she was thinking, Leng Qiyue fell asleep. She had a dream in which, ten years later …
Dongfang Haotian was assassinated, and Lin Fei's ten-year-old son was fighting with Nian Jun for the throne. The court officials were divided into two factions, one supported her, the other supported her, and in the end, there was a fight between the two factions, causing the throne room to be dyed in blood …
Leng Qiyue pulled Niu Jun along and ran outside, but the scene outside the door became a wild one. The empress dowager stood there and laughed out loud. "I told you not to listen to This Dowager's words. Now, This Dowager wants your lives!" After saying that, she transformed into a witch and charged forward …
Leng Qiyue anxiously shouted, "Ah!"
Han Liu, who was standing to one side, heard the sound and rushed over to check. She saw that Leng Qiyue was clutching her blanket tightly with her eyes closed. Her face was covered in sweat. She knew that Leng Qiyue was dreaming and called out softly, "Esteemed Empress, wake up. This servant is Han Liu, esteemed …"
Leng Qiyue sat up abruptly to catch her breath. When she saw Han Liu, she heaved a sigh of relief. "I had a nightmare. The empress dowager was chasing after me and Niu Jun. It was so scary."
Han Liu sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Leng Qiyue. "It's fine, Niangniang. That was just a dream. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. "
Leng Qiyue hugged her body to calm herself down. "No, I still have to think of a way for the empress dowager to come out of An Guo Temple. Otherwise, even if I slept, I wouldn't be at ease."
Han Liu replied, "Empress, it is not yet dawn, so there is no need to be hasty about finding a way. It is best to sleep for a while longer!"
Leng Qiyue nodded and lay back down, but she was already unable to fall asleep. She patted the bed and said, "Han Liu, come up and lie down with me for a while."
Han Liu nodded and went to bed. Leng Qiyue asked, "If I submit to the empress dowager, would she believe me?"
Han Liu shook her head. "That's impossible. The Empress Dowager is so favored right now, what reason could she possibly have to surrender to the Empress Dowager?"
Leng Qiyue sighed, "Yes, we have no reason."
Han Liu said, "Empress, do you still remember the assassination attempt on Imperial Concubine Rong?"
Leng Qiyue looked at her and said, "I remember. Why? Did you find out who did it? "
Han Liu said, "This concubine has found out some clues regarding this matter. Guess what? The consort is completely innocent."
