Fei Yan said: "It is useless for us to be guessing here, we still have to try out the tiger cave! In the future, there will be many dangers and troubles in this palace. We can only take one step at a time! "

Both Zhuo Qingyi and Madam Xiao were extremely worried. Fei Yan would definitely not have much luck if she was to go.

Fei Yan herself was very clear of this.

The empress dowager hated her to the bones!

At that time, she had made an agreement with the Empress Dowager.

She helped the empress dowager become young and beautiful, and the empress dowager let the Zhuo Qingyi leave the palace to betroth her to Tang Benlong.

Afterwards, Fei Yan made the first move, worried that the empress dowager would go back on her words afterwards. She found a chance to help the Zhuo Qingyi slip out of the palace and elope with Tang Benlong.

She threw the empress dowager's beauty plan into the trash.

Not only was the empress dowager teased by Fei Yan.

Furthermore, her beauty and youth had only appeared briefly, and once Fei Yan had left, she had become that ugly old woman again, which made her suffer even more from the ridicule and ridicule of the palace.

Although she was the Empress Dowager, no one dared to laugh at her face to face.

But because she usually relied on her status as the empress dowager to be domineering and tyrannical, now that she made a fool of herself, everyone laughed behind her back …

And the empress dowager had vented all of her anger onto Fei Yan!

She had once threatened to dismember Fei Yan's body into a thousand pieces as long as she managed to catch her!

Now, Fei Yan was bestowed the title of an imperial concubine by Tyrant.

Who would have thought that on her very first day in the palace, the empress dowager would send out the Dark Star to summon her …

Back then, Fei Yan's identity was the empress, and even the empress dowager didn't put her in her eyes.

Right now, her identity was just an ordinary wangfei, so the empress dowager had even less scruples.

The only worry …

It might even be the dragon in Fei Yan's stomach …

Would the empress dowager consider the possibility of a child living in Fei Yan's stomach?

Nobody knows...

After making some preparations, Fei Yan rejected the idea of having Zhuo Qingyi accompany him and set foot on the road to Shunning Palace alone.

At the entrance of the Shunning Palace.

Fei Yan ran into the Dark Star who was about to leave.

The expression on Dark Star's face was cold and indifferent, and was even more grim than usual …

Fei Yan greeted him with a smile: "Miss Dark Star, did you come out to welcome me because you knew I was coming?"

Dark Star said with a dark face, "Are you really not afraid of death? Why did he still come when he knew he was courting death? I've never seen a person who knows he's about to die and yet can still smile. "

Fei Yan said: "I still don't know if I'll die or live!"

"Then take care of yourself," said the Dark Star. Since you are here, I do not need to go to Qing Ya Pavilion again! Her Majesty is waiting for you inside... "Sigh."

The Dark Star seemed to know something and sighed.

Fei Yan remembered that when she was at Qing Ya Pavilion just now, she had also sighed.

Although this Dark Star appeared cold on the surface, he was actually quite loyal and upright in his heart.

Fei Yan smiled faintly.

Then, he strode into the Shunning Palace.

The familiar palace was so gorgeous that it was luxurious to the point that it was practically luxurious …

Only after arriving at the empress dowager's chambers did he learn of the extravagant splendor of gold and jade!

Fei Yan walked into the inner hall of Shunning Palace.

At the door stood the two mama by the empress dowager's side.

"Princess Zhuo, the empress dowager requests it." A mama called out to Fei Yan rather coldly.

It was obvious that Fei Yan's status in the palace was no longer as before, and even the servants were not as respectful towards her.

"Thank you very much."

Fei Yan walked in without hesitation.

Upon entering, one would see that the empress dowager's gloomy and ugly face was shrouded with murderous intent like a dark cloud …

"Majesty. The beauty medicine that the I left to gather for you has finally been found! "

Fei Yan laughed as she walked over.

Her Majesty was startled. "What did you say? "What beauty medicine is this?"

Originally, her heart had been drowned in anger, but after hearing the words beauty medicine, she was immediately attracted.

Fei Yan replied, "Empress Dowager. Back then when Fei Yan left the palace, wasn't it to help the empress dowager find beauty medicine? "

The empress dowager asked, "Then did you find it?"

The empress dowager's expression returned to calmness and indifference.

She knew that Fei Yan was just spouting nonsense.

However, he still hoped that what Fei Yan said was the truth.

This contradiction was truly strange.

Fei Yan remained calm and said in a serious tone, "Empress Dowager. "In order to find these few beauty herbs, Fei Yan had to put in a lot of effort and suffering. She had to spend a lot of silver and gold …"

The empress dowager looked a little angry. "That's enough, that's enough." "You just need to say that you found any beauty herbs that you need."

Her Majesty was no longer patient with her.

As long as Fei Yan said that she didn't find any beauty herbs, she would immediately call for people to capture Fei Yan. Then, she would lock him up in the Reflection Chamber, and slowly torture him to death …

Fei Yan's words were vivid, as though she was exhausting all her efforts to find medicinal ingredients, just like how it was 25,000 miles away for the Red Army. Climb the snow mountain over the grass... Finally, she summed up her words by saying that she would rely on the empress dowager, Hong Fu! She had found all the beauty herbs!

The empress dowager was slightly surprised. "Based on what you're saying, it means … Have you found it? "

Fei Yan laughed and nodded: "Yes! I found it! "

The empress dowager said, "In that case, do you have a way to restore the I's beautiful and young appearance?"

Esteemed Empress Dowager, you …" This was simply … Oh, a woman must not be lazy! Why do you have to embarrass yourself? Actually, you are also a beauty of a nation, and your charm still lasts!

The empress dowager was infuriated by her boastful attitude and words. "Don't be presumptuous! You are still a criminal! "

Fei Yan laughed, "Empress Dowager, there is no need to be angry. If a woman wants to be beautiful, the first thing she has to do is not be angry, and she has to keep smiling. "

The empress dowager said coldly, "The I must have been teased by you once. This time, you can forget about using just a few words to deceive him!"

Fei Yan sternly replied, "Empress Dowager. At any rate, I am now a fish on Her Majesty's chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. "And this time, the entire Prince Zhuo's estate is locked up in prison. Could it be that the empress dowager is afraid I'll escape the palace again?"

The empress dowager muttered to herself for a moment. "Why would I be afraid of you escaping the palace? If you dare to deceive the I in the slightest, the I will definitely not let go of Duke Zhuo Palace. The first is to take out the two people who just entered the palace today. "

Fei Yan said in a sad voice, "The empress dowager's information is really well-informed! Fourth Sister and Madam had just entered the palace when the empress dowager received the news. "

Her Majesty said, "Hmph! The I controls the harem, and there is nothing to hide in this palace. Which one of these can be hidden from the I? "

Fei Yan said, "Then Empress Dowager should believe me! I really have no reason to deceive Her Majesty, nor do I have the guts to do so! "

The empress dowager said, "Oh? What do you mean? "

Fei Yan said, "Empress Dowager, you are such a clever and clever person, I understand after I think about it! If I really have a way to restore Her Majesty to her youth and beauty, then why should I go against Her Majesty? "Obviously, the consequences of going against the empress dowager are very serious. If I can help her become young and beautiful, she'll definitely favor me …"

The empress dowager gave a cold laugh. "You're quite an understanding person. You've seen through everything!"

Fei Yan flattered her, "Empress Dowager is too kind! I was only speaking the truth! Her Majesty should know that, sincere or not, I have no reason to refuse to serve Her Majesty! Unless, I'm a liar! And whether I am a liar or not, Her Majesty should know very well, shouldn't she? "

"Yes." "You're right."

The empress dowager's heart had clearly been moved by Fei Yan's words.

His previous anger had vanished into thin air.

Although she still had many doubts towards Fei Yan …

Furthermore, she was almost certain that Zhuo Fei Yan was definitely not a simple person …

At the very least, he definitely could not trust her that easily.

However …

It was one thing to know.

Whether or not he could do it was another matter.

After Fei Yan analyzed the formidable relationship between them, the empress dowager felt that it was just like that!

Since Fei Yan was unable to escape her grasp, why should she stop believing in her?

In any case, there was no harm in doing so!

The empress dowager finally believed in Fei Yan!

Or perhaps, beauty and youth were simply too attractive to a woman!

Especially for an old woman!

When Fei Yan saw the empress dowager's squinting eyes and the unsettled expression on her face, she knew that she was moved.

"Majesty. You should know by now that I is completely loyal to the empress dowager, right? In order to leave the I Palace to find those rare and lacking beauty herbs, it was simply … Sigh … Don't mention it! In short, for the sake of the empress dowager, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it! "

Fei Yan helped herself by striking the iron while it was hot.

In any case, he wouldn't take advantage of the situation!

The empress dowager suddenly spoke up. "Since you've been out of the palace for so many days and spent so much time and effort, what about those cosmetics?"

"This …"

Fei Yan was troubled.

This empress dowager was rather tricky, not easy to fool at all!

Fei Yan had originally thought that if he could grab hold of her weakness, as long as she could make her speak in such a extravagant manner, she would definitely fall for his trick.

She did not expect that the Empress was still very cautious and rational.

The empress dowager's suspicious eyes were as sharp as swords as she stared at Fei Yan, "Where are the beauty herbs?"

Fei Yan replied, "Empress Dowager … This... These rare beauty herbs were the best in the world! Not only was it rare, it was also extremely expensive! I did indeed find these medicinal ingredients outside the palace, but she did not have enough money to buy them. "

The empress dowager said, "Is there any medicine that the imperial family cannot buy in this world? How much do you want? I will immediately ask the Internal Affairs Bureau to allocate it to you! "

Fei Yan blurted out, "Three million!"

The empress dowager's expression changed. "What? Three million silver taels? Nonsense! What kind of medicinal herb in the world would require three million silver taels? Even the tens of thousands of people in the I's harem only spend a million gold each year! Those Cabinet Ministers, are they not scolding the I for its extravagance, and demanding that the budget for the harem be reduced?! "

Fei Yan thought: "Those ministers that are impeached must be those upright officials!"

"Look at your quarters, old witch."

"It's even more extravagant than the presidential palace of the United States."

"It would be strange if you didn't get your money!"

"One million silver?"

"The purchasing power of this world is one tael of silver!"

"A thousand bronze coins."

"About a hundred dollars."

"One million silver taels is one hundred million silver taels!"

"700 million RMB!"

"You old witch, your spending money is really ruthless!"

Fei Yan looked down on the empress dowager silently, but on the surface, she said earnestly, "Calm down, empress dowager! This was really not much! The empress dowager must know that these beauty herbs can make a woman young and beautiful, and that beauty is priceless! "

The empress dowager was furious. "You scoundrel female lion opening your mouth is too cruel!"

Fei Yan said innocently: "Empress Dowager, the one who wants money is not I, but rather, those medicinal ingredients are truly expensive and rare! I was really lucky, it took the empress dowager Hong Fu to find it. It was not an easy task to gather all these herbs! It was something that could be encountered but not sought! Empress Dowager, this is a rare opportunity! "

Her Majesty began to hesitate …

Although she knew that Fei Yan was clearly asking for it, she couldn't find any direct evidence!

No evidence.

However, she also really wanted to be beautiful.

As for the empress dowager's status, they couldn't bargain, could they?
