Just as he boarded the carriage, Lan Qi'er's face was filled with curiosity. "Mistress, what good news do you want Lord Xiao to wait for?"

"Idiot, do you still not understand? "Of course he's going to be promoted!" Cen Xue invited her into the carriage to sit with her and knocked on her head.

"Then, Master, what official do you want Lord Xiao to be? Can the king agree? " Lan Qi'er turned behind her and began to massage her neck and shoulders in an attentive manner.

"That's hard to say. Whether or not he can succeed will depend on him. I think that Xiao Boyi is a talent too. I want him to help the king out with his national affairs." Cen Xue had secretly investigated the current situation of the imperial court. Most of the people in the court would follow Prime Minister Meng Shihai, while the other portion would follow General Yuwen.

Cen Xue knew that Helian Lie did not like Meng Shihai. He had taken his daughter as the queen at the orders of the late king, so from the moment she took her place until now, she had never been favored by the king.

Sigh … Although he was the ruler of a country, who could understand the helplessness within?

The carriage sped towards the direction of the palace. A pair of pitch-black eyes scanned the area they were in today. It seemed that they had not been able to find out where she was since they had entered the palace. No wonder …

In a hidden courtyard, a mysterious man in black was standing in front of the window, staring at the floating clouds in the sky.

"Master, we've already found the whereabouts of that woman. A few days later, she came to the palace to offer her dance on behalf of the dancers. Now, she is the favorite of Lou Lan's harem, Xue Fei." Today, I saw her leave the palace, return to the dance hall, and visit an ordinary family in the south of the city. I followed her to the residence of the envoy. The man kneeling on the ground respectfully reported as he stood before the window.

Entering the palace to give a dance, Xue Fei … The man mumbled to himself, as if he was thinking about something.

"Do you know why they went to the residence of Vice Envoy Xiao Boyi?" The man's cold voice sounded out once again. His body was always carrying an aura of death, causing others to unconsciously feel a chill down their spines.

"The distance is too far, so we cannot find out what they are talking about. However, if we test it out too close, the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird will definitely discover that we are following them. This subordinate is useless and cannot find out." The black clothed man kneeling on the ground didn't dare to get up.

"Forget it, both the green dragon and the Vermillion Bird are the four great guards by Helian Lie's side. They are not ordinary followers, and if we disturb them, they will expose our identities. Let's end this matter here. We'll leave Lou Lan after meeting with the people from the east side tomorrow!" The man turned around and looked at his subordinate kneeling on the ground, then ordered coldly.

"Yes …" This subordinate is just preparing. " The man quickly left.

The man once again returned to the window. He wore a half-mask and stared coldly and darkly at the world outside. It was as if he did not belong here, and his entire body was emitting the aura of death.

Helian Lie had been waiting for her return in all sorts of boredom. The giggling outside the door was like the most beautiful song in the world as it drifted into Helian Shan's ear. The corner of his mouth curled into a slight smile as he muttered to himself, "Finally, I can bear to return."

Cen Xue ran into the hall. Was he not here? Eunuch Zhao had clearly said that he had returned to Xingqing Palace. Could he be waiting for her in his room?

"Empress …"

"Yes, where is the king?" asked the two palace maids.

"In reply to the Empress, His Majesty is in his room. After returning to the palace, he hasn't come out at all." The palace maid lowered her head and replied.

"Alright, let's get down." She also had to busy herself with recommending Xiao Boyi to her. Since the trajectory of history had changed now, that riot wouldn't happen. Meng Shihai didn't help the Second Prince rebel, so naturally Boyi wouldn't have a chance to be promoted to prime minister.

I almost forgot, there's still Bai Yan. It would be for the best if he could be obedient, but if he dares to play any tricks, hmph …

Pushing open the door, he walked in and saw Zhang Xuan lying on the bed.

Cen Xue slowly walked closer to his bed. She thought that he had fallen asleep, but that thought …

"Ah …" Just as he approached, Cen Xue's body was suddenly hugged by Helian Shi, who woke up and pressed her down on the bed. She was immediately in an ambiguous position as his crazy and tyrannical kiss had already sealed Cen Xue's cherry lips and teased her.

"Ugh …" "Boom …" Cen Xue tried her best to push him away, but after some effort, she managed to squeeze out a word.

Helian Shan only let her go when he had kissed her to the point of gasping for breath. Looking at her flushed face, he was in a great mood!

"I'm so bad, I almost couldn't breathe." Cen Xue pouted and grumbled at him unhappily.

"Tell me, where did you go today?" Helian Shan held her in his arms. He had not heard her voice all afternoon and missed her a lot.

"I went to the dance floor and even went to the residence of Deputy Envoy Xiao Boyi. I feel that he is quite a decent person. You should keep an eye on him. Perhaps you might be able to help." Cen Xue met his gaze and looked at him familiarly.

This was the first time this little demoness had recommended a talent to him, so there must be some sort of story behind this, right? Helian Zhang nodded and first agreed to her request. The Deputy Envoy did not need to be promoted to the Imperial Court. If he wanted to observe the situation, he would have to make a trip himself, or even promote him to the Imperial Palace.

"I will take this matter to heart. As for you, you should stay by me in the future. Do you understand?" Helian Shan reminded her once again, deeply afraid that one day she would suddenly leave.

Cen Xue nodded and buried her face in his embrace. Even if he wanted to chase her away in this life, she wouldn't leave his side. She definitely wouldn't leave …

Phoenix Nest Palace...

"Empress Dowager, Imperial Physician Hua has come to treat you." Behind the palace maid stood a man of about thirty years of age. In his hand was a medicine kit.

Meng Qianrong had been bedridden for nearly three months and had never left the palace. Outsiders thought that she was seriously ill, but only she herself knew the secret.

"Empress, this humble subject has come to request for your pulse." Imperial Physician Hua walked to the bedside as the palace maid tactfully retreated to guard the door.

There were only two people in the room, Meng Qianrong immediately lifted up the quilt and jumped down from the bed. Hua Chenfeng (Imperial Physician Hua) picked up Meng Qianrong on the bed and kissed her passionately.

"Morning Wind, I missed you so much …" Meng Qianrong breathed heavily while hugging the man in front of her tightly.

"Aren't I the same …" Hua Chenfeng hugged her tightly and ripped off Meng Qianrong's clothes, revealing a bright red undergarment. Just one glance was enough to make his desire burn.

She was the queen, and he was only a small imperial physician in the hospital. However, they were actually able to stay together without anyone knowing. If this matter were to spread, Helian Lie would definitely not let them off easily.

In an instant, the two of them had fallen onto the bed …

"Ugh …" A groan broke the silence in the room, followed by a surge of overwhelming lust.

Meng Qianrong blushed. She had completely abandoned her position as the queen. The king would not love her anyways, she was destined to die of old age in this palace. Since that was the case, she chose to live a better life.

She and Hua Chenfeng had known each other for a long time, and both of them had a good impression of each other. It was just that Meng Shihai had opposed their relationship, and the main reason was because he thought Hua Chenguang was just a small doctor at the time and forcefully separated them.

Since that uncontrollable spark had been ignited, it was very difficult to put it out. From then on, Meng Qianrong claimed that she was confined to her bed, Hua Chenfeng would go to the Phoenix Maiden Palace every day to ask for her pulse, and the result was that both of them ended up together. But Meng Qianrong did not regret it, and even if she were to die now, she would have no regrets …

"Ah …" The palace maid guarding the door was the maid that accompanied her into the palace. Being by her side for so long, she naturally understood the young miss' intentions. She hoped that she wouldn't be discovered.

The situation within the bed tent became more and more intense. The voices of a man and a woman mixed together, warming the heavy bedroom up bit by bit.

Sweating profusely, the two of them forgot themselves and were together …

All of them focused their gazes on the queen. Although the queen was a woman that had fallen out of love, she was still the main imperial concubine, and her father was the prime minister. It was better than them running into the mouth of a tiger to die, wasn't it?

The passion in the room had just subsided. Meng Qianrong changed into a clean set of clothes and Little Lian rushed in, flustered. "Mistress, it's not good. Consort Chen, Concubine Li, Consort De said they want to see you in the hall!"

Hua Chenfeng straightened his clothes and picked up the medicine chest that he had thrown on the ground a moment ago, "Xiao Lian is fine. Don't panic, go and bring the few mistresses in."

"Yes." Seeing that the room was still normal, Xiao Lian carried away the dirty clothes that Meng Qianrong had changed out of on the screen and left immediately.

"Morning Wind?" Meng QianRong looked at him worriedly.

"It's fine. Lie down, just like usual." Hua Chenfeng helped her lie down, covered her with a blanket, and put down the bed curtain so that she could reveal a hand. He wanted to take her pulse.

Following his instructions, Meng Qianrong lay down, and very soon, Xiao Lian walked in with the three people behind her, "Ladies, this way please."

As soon as she entered, she saw Imperial Physician Hua taking the Queen's pulse. She really was sick!

"Greetings, mistresses!" Hua Chenfeng put Meng Qianrong's hand back and immediately stood up to salute the three of them.

"Get up, is the queen better?" Chenfei looked at the person behind the bed curtain. Why did it feel like she was about to die?

He had been sick for several months. If he wanted to drag things out, he might as well die early and reincarnate.

"The Empress has caught a cold and is fine. This humble subject will go and make medicine for the Queen." Hua Chenfeng left the bedroom after he finished his words.

From the moment they entered the door, Meng Qianrong knew what they were looking for. It seemed like it was all because the king had pampered Xue Fei, causing her to feel jealous. Now that she thought of the queen, she wanted him to step in and teach that woman a lesson, right?

"Greetings to the Queen, Consort Chen, Consort Li, and Consort De." The three of them said at the same time as they pretended to be asleep.

Usually, when they saw the queen, their eyes all seemed to have strayed, as if they had never seen her. If it wasn't for them bumping into her head, they wouldn't even greet her.
