Chapter 135 - sprinkling another handful of salt

As expected, Chu Yu did not stop!

Chu Tiange let out a light harrumph, when the assassin approached, the whip in his hand seemed to have gained a life of its own, and lapped towards the people outside the carriage.

That person was caught off guard and the black cloth cloth was removed from his face. At the same time, the bamboo tube that was used to blow the knockout powder fell to the ground.

"Tell Chu Yu not to continue messing around, otherwise, this princess will not recognize him as my big brother anymore!"

At this time, Chu Tiange was dressed in fiery red clothes, his eyebrows were perky, the inner strength around his body was surging, and as his hair fluttered, it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

When the other assassins heard this, they stopped fighting.

Chu Tiange's heavy eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone present, "Still not leaving?"

Everyone glanced at each other and quickly left.

Very quickly, Chu Yu found out about the failure of the assassination tonight.

He angrily slapped the table, his eyes narrowed, "From start to finish, only saw Tian Ge?"

The leader of the hidden guards knelt on one knee on the ground and lowered his head. "Yes."

Chu Yu frowned even more. Chu Yin was very cunning, perhaps he had already headed to the capital?

After pondering for a moment, he instructed, "Inform the guards at the city gate that once Chu Yin is discovered, they will immediately come to report!"

"Your Highness, the guards may not recognize the seventh prince …"

"Are you trash?" The anger on Chu Yu's face became even stronger, "Do you still need me to teach you?"

The leader of the Dark Guard was so anxious that he started sweating. "Your subordinate understands!"

The guards at the city gate quickly received Chu Yin's portrait. After everyone looked at it, they quickly burnt it down.

When he woke up the next day, there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky. It seemed as if it might rain at any moment.

Wei Qing helped Prime Minister Wei up, then personally fed him medicine and porridge. After he fell asleep, she continued to study a game of chess.

Ever since Chu Yin left, she had been deliberately not thinking about him, but the more it was like that, the more complicated her thoughts became. At the same time, Chu Yin's handsome face became clearer and clearer in her mind.

A pigeon flapped its wings and landed on the desk.

Wei Qing blinked her eyes, threw the chess pieces into the chess box and walked towards the desk.

The pigeon was obviously not afraid of humans. When Wei Qing looked at its black eyes, the corner of her mouth curled up.

Picking up the pigeon with both hands, he discovered the bamboo tube that was tied to the leg of the pigeon.

Surprised and delighted, she quickly dismissed it.

It was a letter Chu Yin had given her.

There were only a few numbers, but it was enough to make her feel a strong sense of longing.

She kept the short note well and wanted to write him a reply.

However, after thinking about it many times, he felt that it wasn't appropriate when he was writing.

The pigeon cooed as she ordered Painted Beauty to go find some food for it.

Painted Man smiled as he looked at Wei Qing ambiguously.

Wei Qing scratched her head in annoyance, how was she going to write this?

After thinking about it for a while, her eyes lit up and she quickly drew a few strokes on the paper.

Missing him, worried about him, how is he now?

When Wei Qing placed the short note into the bamboo tube and was about to release it, she heard a call from the butler, the empress dowager!

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the empress dowager's headache had worsened?

She quickly handed the bamboo tube over to the painting, packed it up briefly, and left the Prime Minister's Estate.

As though drawing, she opened the bamboo tube, looked at Wei Qing's drawing, and then used her brush to draw a symbol on the back of the tube. Then, she placed the short note back into the tube and released it.

When Wei Qing rushed to the Tzu Ning Palace, she was actually surprised.

Xiao Qingqian heard the sound of footsteps and turned to look at her.

Could it be that the situation in Prime Minister Wei did not improve?

Otherwise, why would the bruises on her eyes be so heavy?

The empress dowager waved her hand towards Wei Qing with a smile.

"Wei Qing, This Dowager has heard about the Prime Minister Wei."

Wei Qing responded with a "Okay" and then very obediently stood there.

"I came today because I heard some things yesterday."

Wei Qing frowned, "Yesterday was the prince's birthday banquet, the empress dowager had to …"

The empress dowager nodded and looked at Xiao Qingqian. "Ah Qian, you go back first."

Xiao Qingqian was surprised, "Yes, this grandson will leave first!"

After he left, the empress dowager pulled Wei Qing's hand and indicated for her to sit down.

Wei Qing was very nervous as she pursed her lips.

This really made the empress dowager laugh.

"Wei Qing, you are a good woman!"

"The empress dowager is too kind!"

"At the beginning, when Ah Qian insisted on taking Tian Sisi as his disciple, This Dowager had always strongly opposed it, but unfortunately, Ah Qian's heart was resolute."

"Empress Dowager, Your Highness is in love with Concubine Tian, I don't have any thoughts."

Although Wei Qing's expression was tranquil and calm, the waves in her heart had long ago been stirred.

What was the purpose of the empress dowager summoning her to the palace all of a sudden and saying all sorts of ridiculous things?

"Wei Qing, This Dowager asked Ah Qian what he thought of you just now."

Wei Qing let out an "ah" sound, and could not help but raise her voice, "What did he say?"

Not only did the empress dowager not feel that she was unbearably coarse, she even thought that Wei Qing was her true nature, that she was much better than the pretentious Tian Sisi!

"You want to hear it?"

Wei Qing pursed her lips, her eyes spinning very quickly.

The empress dowager used the kernels to cover her mouth, even her eyes were filled with laughter. "Ah Qian said that he loved and hated you!"

Love and hate?

Wei Qing's eyes became round. He hated her, and she believed that there was love? What kind of international joke was this!

The empress dowager could clearly see the disbelief in Wei Qing's eyes, and her smile grew wider.

The empress dowager's grip on her hand grew even stronger. "Wei Qing, This Dowager said it, I won't allow Tian Sisi to gain favour again and again!"

Her headache symptoms had troubled the Royal Hospital for many years, and fortunately, Wei Qing was able to alleviate it. How could she allow Tian Sisi to scheme against such a good girl, and humiliate her?

Wei Qing looked at the empress dowager in shock.

In fact, the reason she said that just now was only to sprinkle salt on Tian Sisi!

At first, when she found out that Tian Sisi was the Xie Jing's spy, she had also thought of using poison to make her go to the West to finish off everything. But after she thought about it, since the Xie Jing had plans for the Northern Kingdom, even if Tian Sisi died, he would definitely send some other spy.

Who would have known that the one that was sent would actually be Fang Yuan? It would be better to keep Tian Sisi, since she already knew her enemy.

However, she didn't want Tian Sisi to live a good life because she wanted him to, so after hearing the empress dowager's words, she could only torment Tian Sisi again!
