Ke Er's expression quickly returned back to normal, and she laughed: "Wan Niang's aunt is indeed being honest, but you misjudged me right? To Senior Brother, I have only ever had the love of fellow sister. Wan Niang's aunt said that I coveted for the position of Empress, that's too unreasonable! "

Wan Niang also smiled, "This servant has always been like this, I do not have any intention of offending Miss Ke Er, please forgive me!" Such an understatement, and it even contained a trace of contempt, how could it have the slightest appearance of an apology? It was just a formality!

However, she suddenly changed the subject and said to Lv Ning: "Master Lu, I heard that you're still the leader of the guards stationed in the Zevi Palace, yet you haven't been able to report in for the past few days.

Lv Ning was startled for a moment, and then said: "My aunt was wrongly accused, it was just that Qian Shan accidentally injured Miss Ke Er, I was just there to apologize and take care of her. Furthermore, the Zevi Palace is calm and peaceful right now, and the imperial harem is safe, we can also remove a portion of the guards there. "

The Wan Niang coldly said: "Whether or not you want to remove the guards, we need to ask the Emperor for an order. Even if the Emperor wants to withdraw, but the decree has not yet been issued, the Master Lu should still fulfill his duty and take the safety of the Zevi Palace as his main concern."

Lv Ning's face did not look good, the anger on his face was obvious, but he tried his best to suppress it, and said with his head lowered: "Aunt's words are extremely true, I have indeed neglected my duty, and will once again defend Zevi Palace from today onwards. But during this period of time, everything has been peaceful and safe, so this humble one will also summon the Emperor and remove a group of Zevi Palace's guards! "

The Wan Niang said indifferently, "We should follow the emperor's orders, and wait for your majesty to report. But now, I hope that you can fulfill your duties!" Wan Niang's words still sounded somewhat difficult. At first, Wen Yi did not understand Wan Niang's intentions, but after seeing the look between Lv Ning and Wan Niang, she knew that the two were acting.

Therefore, Wen Yi said coldly: "Since Master Lu knows that you are the leader of the Zevi Palace's guards, then, I order you to lead people to patrol immediately."

Lv Ning looked at Wen Yi with a bit of humiliation, then turned his head to look at Ke Er, Ke Er said gently: "Since that's the case, then you can stay here for now, but if you don't want to stay in the Zevi Palace, then I will request senior brother's permission to leave the Zevi Palace!"

Hearing Ke Er's words, Lv Ning said: "Alright, I will listen to you!" With that, he looked at Wen Yi and said coldly: "Since Dr. Wen has given her order, this official will obey!" Saying that, she cupped her hands in a salute and then turned around and left.

Ke Er looked at Wen Yi, and said indifferently: "Big Sis is so mighty now, I am no longer like the person Ke Er used to know."

Wen Yi laughed, and looked at Ke Er with a sharp gaze, "A man's heart is far away, who can say who he really knows? It means that my sister and I have known each other for so long, yet now, it turns out that I have never even known her! "

Ke Er said indifferently: "It seems that sister is in a good mood, I do not need sister's consolation, then sister will take her leave!" With that, without waiting for Wen Yi to speak, she turned and walked out, a cold smile on her lips, her attitude extremely arrogant.

Wen Yi knew that she was gradually losing control. She had acted in this show for a long time and was the best actress. And now, she was going step by step, almost overwhelmingly, so that she no longer needed to put on an act, she was able to grasp the overall situation.

About an hour after Ke Er left, Lv Ning entered the inner palace hall.

Wen Yi had already expected that he would come, so, just as he was about to bow, Wen Yi said: "Master Lu, no need to be so courteous, please take a seat!"

Wan Niang immediately closed the door, and shouted angrily by the door: "Yo, Master Lu is so mighty, if you want to ask for leave, please go tell the emperor, why are you making trouble with our master? Isn't this blatantly bullying our master? "

Lv Ning also shouted loudly: "Aunt Wan Niang, please do not go overboard, I am only respecting Dr. Wen, so I have come to inform Dr. Wen first, and to bully others!"

Wan Niang and Lv Ning both knew that they were being watched by someone. No matter what they said or did, it would definitely spread to Ke Er's ears.

She had just woken up and came out of the main hall, when she heard the conversation between Wan Niang and Lv Ning. She was so angry that she rushed in immediately after opening the door, and when she saw Lv Ning, her eyes spewed fire, and said angrily: "What are you still doing here? You are not welcome here, get lost! "

When Lv Ning saw Qian Shan, a tinge of gentleness appeared on his refined and refined face. He saw that Qian Shan's face was haggard and his entire body had become skinnier. You've lost a lot of weight! "

"None of your business, go find your peerless beauty!" Qian Shan shouted in anger.

Wan Niang stepped forward and pulled Qian Shan away, saying, "That's enough, don't say anymore!"

Lv Ning straightened his expression, and said to Wen Yi in a soft voice: "Dr. Wen, she and Chen Yuanqing have been in intimate contact before. The two of them often conversed in the side hall, and sometimes speaking for two hours straight, beware of this person!"

Chen Yuanqing? Wen Yi was stunned, was it actually him? He could not get rid of the reason for Chen Yuzhu's death, so he and Ke Er teamed up to deal with him?

"Chen Yuanqing had always thought that I hadn't gone all out to save Chen Yuzhu, so he harbored resentment towards me. It's not strange for him to work with Ke Er!" Although he said that, Wen Yi was still very disappointed. Chen Yuanqing was an intelligent man, with both civil and martial skills, he should have sufficient judgement.

"Also," Lv Ning said in a low voice, "I once heard her having a nightmare during her afternoon nap, and she said in her dreams that she had let down her own father, and her own senior sister!"

"Sorry to her father? Sorry to her senior sister? " Wen Yi muttered to herself for a while, and said: "I heard from Song Yunqian that she indeed had a senior sister, but that senior sister had already eloped with someone else."

Qian Shan looked at the two of them talking softly, and was at a loss. Just as he was about to ask, Wan Niang pulled her along with a smile and said softly, "Fool, you still can't tell? Master Lu is a spy from there! "

Qian Shan stared at Lv Ning, although his face was tensed up, but there was a smile flying out of his mouth, "Really? Are you sure you aren't mesmerized by her? I don't really believe it! "

Originally, Lv Ning didn't want Qian Shan to know, after all, Qian Shan was the kind of person who couldn't hide his feelings, but now that the Wan Niang had said it directly, he could only say it now: "That day, I did think that you had wrongly accused Ke Er, but when I followed you to her palace, I realized that although she was pitifully pretending to be innocent, the hatred and scheming in her eyes couldn't hide it from me. I was suspicious, and I wanted to get close to her and investigate. It's just that she was a very cautious person and had always been acting with me before completely trusting me. However, a person who had been acting for a long time would always reveal some clues. She and Chen Yuanqing kept in touch mysteriously, and also had contact with the Consort Dowager Ling, but the Consort Dowager Ling was a proud and arrogant person, she had once quarreled with her before. As for what was said, I couldn't really hear it clearly.

Only then did Qian Shan reveal a smile, "If that's the case, you're not that bad of a person."

"How am I bad? You don't even suspect me in the Dr. Wen, and instead you, actually don't have this much trust in me. Speaking of which, your heart is dark, and after being together with me for so long, you still don't understand me! " Lv Ning said while looking at her with resentment.

Stop flirting," he interrupted them. She looked at Lu Ning, "Just now you said that she once said in her afternoon nap that she had let down her father and her senior sister." She looked at Lu Ning, "Just now you said in her afternoon nap that she had let down her father and her senior sister. As for her senior sister, she eloped with someone called Big Brother Ah Niu. She let her father down, and when you think about it, because her marriage wasn't settled yet, she felt sorry for her father. But what does this have to do with her senior sister?

Lv Ning was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "That's not right, her senior sister is dead!"

Wen Yi was slightly startled, "How is that possible? I remember that day when Ke Er told Shang Qian about her Senior Sister Qing Er, she eloped with someone called Ah Niu, and she did not die. "

Lv Ning's expression became a little solemn, and said: "But I saw that she had two memorial tablets in his palace, one for her father and the other for her senior sisters. How many senior sisters does she have?"

"There's actually such a thing? I've been to her palace a few times, but I really didn't find any tablets in her palace. " Wen Yi was a little doubtful.

"I also accidentally discovered it. She hid it very mysteriously, and her senior apprentice sister's tablet is hidden behind her father's tablet. The tablet is very small, and I didn't get a good look at it before she came in. I only saw the word 'senior apprentice sister' on it, and I think it's her senior apprentice sister!" Lv Ning said.

Qian Shan also felt that it was strange. "Then that senior sister of hers must be someone the emperor knows too, right? Didn't you just ask the emperor? "

Wen Yi said: "Qian He and I said that Qing Er eloped, but she might have a few senior sisters. But no matter how many Senior Sisters she had, or how many things she said she was sorry to Senior Sisters, what did she do to make her feel guilty when she came back to her dreams? "

Qian Shan snorted. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, "She wouldn't have killed her senior sister, right? For those martial arts technique manuals, there will always be tragedy after tragedy. She is so vicious, who knows why she killed her senior sister? "

Wen Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "But to the best of my knowledge, Ke Er does not practice martial arts, she only learned detoxification from her father, and furthermore, that is her father. Her father would not have any profound martial arts or poison scriptures that he does not pass on to his own daughter, but rather wants to pass them on to other disciples, right? This assumption is unfounded. "

"Then, her Senior Sister also likes the Emperor!" Qian Shan guessed wildly.

However, her random guess caused the three of them to be stunned.

The expressions of the three of them became more and more serious, the Wan Niang fearfully said: "This is very possible!"

Wen Yi had said that Song Yunqian had a crush on Qing Er before, but because Qing Er liked Ah Niu, the two of them were afraid that Song Yunqian would get angry, but also afraid that Master would disagree, so they eloped.

Then, what if Qing Er did not elope? Where would she be now? Wen Yi was suspicious. Could it be that it was just as Qian Shan said, that Qing Er was killed? It was not impossible. Song Yunqian had always respected his master this much, and his master had entrusted Ke Er to him at the end of his life. He had always kept his promise and doted on Ke Er as if he were his own little sister.
