It was said that she ate and chanted Buddha every day, copying scriptures and reciting them in the morning without the slightest bit of neglect. Even the incense in the Phoenix Fault Palace had been converted into Buddhist fragrance, and the beauty's chant was also a pure ditty without any extravagance, without any dancing beauties, nor did it contain any wine or delicacies.
She turned around and looked at Yulixiao as she said, "Mrs. Yao's medical skills are superb. Everyone knows that she is more than a hundred times stronger than those old fellows at the Imperial Hospital. If I didn't have a headache, I wouldn't ask you to temporarily separate us. Su Yun'er, don't worry, this one will only be staying in Mrs. Yao for a few days.
Yulixiao put down the teacup and smiled, but did not immediately agree.
Chen Yao's finger reached over, lightly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and looked at him with eyes full of pleading.
"Mrs. Yao doesn't need to be afraid. Phoenix Fault Palace is very quiet, and Imperial Physician Bai detects my pulse every day. He also wants to compare notes with you."
Bai Chengan was Yulixiao's person, the empress dowager had already declared it to him! What was his intention? Probing? A warning?
"The empress dowager has hundreds of royal doctors, her medical skills are superb, and she's considered to be one of the top experts among all the experts in the world. Why would Chen Yao need to display her bad techniques?
Her Majesty shook her head, lifted the hand that held the brocade, pointed at him, and said with a smile:
"You still have that temper of yours, you can't bear to part with the people around you. This one was just trying it out. Whether or not to use the medicine, we should have the old men of Imperial Medicine discuss it and decide on it together. This one will not be so heartless as to treat the sins of this one. "
Yulixiao turned to look at Chen Yao. She had a face full of nervousness, and was frowning slightly.
The empress dowager must have had all sorts of methods to keep her with the empress dowager. If she said a single wrong word, the empress dowager would definitely vent her anger on Yu Yan, and if Chen Yao did not cooperate, the empress dowager would not let Chen Yao off the hook so easily.
Yulixiao laughed again, slowly put down the teacup, and said calmly:
"The empress dowager should invite someone else as well. This subject will not be able to leave Chen Yao's side for even a single day."
The empress dowager's smile stiffened, then she gently asked with a slight smile:
"Not even two or three days?"
"No, this subject's broken body will be treated as a servant. Otherwise, her days will be difficult to endure, and the empress dowager will forgive her." Yulixiao shook his head, still maintaining his composure.
The empress dowager lightly muttered to herself before smiling and saying softly, "Alright, I won't force anyone into a corner. Yun'er's health is more important."
As she spoke, she raised her gaze to the entrance of the hall and asked, "Why hasn't the emperor come yet?"
"The emperor is looking at the emergency military report. He'll be coming over in a bit." A young eunuch hurried forward and reported in a low voice.
Just as he finished speaking, Yu Tianqi's voice came from outside the hall.
"Queen Mother, Royal Brother, you've waited for a long time."
Yulixiao turned to look at him. Dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a face full of smiles, he walked towards the doorstep in high spirits.
"What, there's another good news at the border?"
The empress dowager leaned forward slightly and looked at Yu Tianqi with a smile.
Yu Tianqi laughed and walked over with large strides. He looked at Yulixiao and said, "I still have to thank royal brother.
Yulixiao laughed, and did not make a sound.
"As expected of your royal brother, he truly is worthy of being called a war god. All of you are capable enough to fight against a hundred men. I will reward you well."
Yu Tianqi sat down by the empress dowager's side and waved his sleeves, allowing his men to serve the plain wine. He raised it high up and looked at Yulixiao with a smile.
"Royal brother, I respect you for what I do."
Yulixiao only drank some tea, raised his cup, and took a sip.
At this time, a few eunuchs rushed in and paid their respects to the few of them before turning to Yulixiao and saying, "Your highness, Madam Mingyue has sent a letter to Your highness. There's an urgent matter I need to attend to."
"What's wrong?" Chen Yao asked doubtfully.
"He said that the fish ran away, and when I return, I will find out." the eunuch said again.
Yulixiao's eyes darkened, he turned to Yu Tianqi and the empress dowager and said, "Since there is an important matter at home, this subject will take my leave first."
"Go." Her Majesty waved for someone to carry his wheelchair down.
Yu Tianqi stood up, and personally sent the two to the exit of the Phoenix Fault Palace, his eyes filled with happiness and complacency.
The empress dowager slowly walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "My son, why are you so happy? But the gift from This Dowager has succeeded? "
Yu Tianqi swept a glance at her, laughed, and said in a low voice, "Your mother's schemes are indeed unparalleled. However, we did not do as your mother said."
The empress dowager's expression changed slightly as she continued to ask, "Then what does the emperor do?"
Yu Tianqi lightly brushed his sleeves and looked at her, the mocking smile in his eyes becoming even more obvious.
"Imperial Mother doesn't need to know. Imperial Mother wants to continue enjoying the glory of sitting here and being on good terms with the Zhao Taizhu, so don't bother about my matters. You can just stay in your Phoenix Fault Palace and enjoy your blessings for a long time."
The empress dowager's expression completely changed. She clenched her fists tightly and stared fixedly at Yu Tianqi, her eyes filled with wind and frost.
"Mother, please go in. If mother is no longer satisfied with the abilities of the Zhao Taizhu, I don't mind picking a few strong men to serve mother. As long as mother does not give birth to unfilial sons, that is fine." Yu Tianqi said indifferently and left immediately.
The empress dowager's face had already turned pale from anger as she held Senior Servant Gui Yun's hand and trembled nonstop. After a long while, she finally raised her hand and pointed in the direction that Gui Yun had left in and said coldly, "Evil son, I raised you up for nothing. Gui Yun, close the doors to the palace. From this moment onwards, the Phoenix Imperial Palace slaves are not allowed to enter or leave, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. "
Senior Servant Gui rolled her eyes and moved closer. She whispered, "But, the fish ran away. What does that mean?"
"Fish?" Fishing! Yu Yan has escaped! " The empress dowager immediately understood that Yu Tianqi had taken Yu Yan away!
"Yu Tianqi, you are much more ruthless than I thought." The empress dowager raised an eyebrow and supported Senior Servant Gui's hand as they walked towards the palace. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "These two are finished killing each other. Tell me, who should be the emperor?"
"Duke Jie is the most intelligent and adorable …" Senior Servant Gui smiled and said a name.
This was the youngest son of the late emperor, born of a beauty. Because she was still too young, the empress dowager usually respected her, so she was too lazy to deal with her. Thinking about it, this child was only nine years old and didn't have any family, so he could be a puppet.
The empress dowager nodded and gripped Senior Servant Gui's hand tightly. She said coldly, "Then let the two of them quickly kill each other to their heart's content."
Yulixiao and the rest hurried back to the residence as Ye Mingyue was already waiting outside his study. When she saw that had returned, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yu Yan and her people fled, Ah Lang and Nian An were carried back by someone else and are still awake."
"What?"
Yulixiao's face darkened, and he ordered his men to carry Ah Lang and Nian An into the study room. Closing the doors and windows, he got up from the wheelchair and walked to the two people's side. He bent down and lightly pulled their eyes.
"What kind of medicine is this? How strong is the medicinal effect? When can it be awakened?"
Hearing his questions, Chen Yao went over to check on the two of them. After a while, she turned and said.
"This is the Returning Incense. I've been bewitched by this incense. It will take me at least 12 hours to wake up."
Twelve hours later, Yu Yan had already gone to the ends of the earth!
If they were to run, why did they not bring Nian An and Nian En with them? But if she didn't run, then who took her away? Everything had to wait for the two of them to wake up before it would end.
"No matter what, I want them both to wake up early." Yulixiao turned and look at Chen Yao, his eyes sharp.
"Alright." Chen Yao hesitated for a bit, then asked someone to bring her medicine box. After opening it, he took out the golden needle, held it up to her eyes and looked at it, then asked Yulixiao: "Who should wake up first? After using the needles, the two of them will have a headache. "
Yulixiao glanced at Nian An, his brows knitted slightly, and did not make a sound.
Chen Yao immediately understood what he meant. Ah Lang was one of his best people, but Nian An was just a girl.
Su Yun turned around and touched Nian An's head with his fingers. His long eyelashes drooped, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The golden needle slowly pierced into his acupoint, and after a while, Nian An cried out in pain.
Ah!
Yulixiao turned his head and stared intently at Nian An.
He woke Nian An up first, not because she was a woman, but because Nian An was the person closest to Yu Yan.
"It hurts."
Nian An held her head, rolling on the ground, she gasped for breath, slowly opening her eyes, looking at the few people in front of him in shock.
Yulixiao had already sat down and stared into her eyes. He asked: "Where's your master?"
"We are drinking tea! Where's the Empress? God, how did I fall asleep! Still sleeping on the ground! "
Nian An stirred, and then suddenly sat up with a face full of fear. After looking around for a long time, she crawled up and asked Yulixiao loudly.
"Nian An, speak the truth." Ye Mingyue stood up from the side and questioned her coldly, "What letter did your master get today? Where is she now? "
"What letter?" Nian An looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Yu Yan was afraid that she would say something wrong, so she didn't tell Nian An anything about the letter. From the start to the end, she only thought that she was going out for a stroll, and the excitement was still building up in her heart.
Yulixiao glanced at Ye Mingyue, and said in a low voice: "You go out first."
Ye Mingyue turned and quickly left.
"Where did you go today? "Why are you going out?"
"The Empress must have some free time today. She said that she wanted to go out and receive the paper."
"Paper?" Yulixiao frowned, it was possible for Yu Yan to do this.
Nian An glanced at the unconscious Ah Lang beside him and continued in a trembling voice:
"We went to the teahouse to drink some tea. That tea was very fragrant, but this servant doesn't remember it …" Where's the Empress? "
"Wake up Ah Lang."
Yulixiao waved his hand and turned away. It seemed like Nian An didn't receive any news from his, hence he was always in a daze.
Ah Lang woke up slower than Nian An. He was a martial arts person, so naturally, he had to endure the effects of the golden needles. After suffering for a while, he woke up, held his head and sat down, then raised his head in shock and looked at the few people in front of him.
"Prince?" He stood up abruptly, his head throbbing with pain, and sat down heavily again.
"Ah Lang, why are you leaving the Palace today? Where did Yu Yan go? What happened? " Yulixiao got someone to help him up and sat him down, then asked in a low voice.
"Today, Miss said that she wanted to go out for a walk. First, she went to the Peace Restaurant and discussed the matter of making paper. Then, she went back to the Guizheng Tea House and said that she wanted to see the scenery. Unexpectedly, the moment I entered, I felt that the room was filled with the fragrance of tea. It is extremely fragrant and strange, and this subordinate's mind started to be muddled, barely able to see Nian An lying on the ground, while Miss Yu Yan was holding a teacup, looking at me, and then... "
