"People often say femme fatales, but now I have seen them again."

In the afternoon, in Yuzhang Palace, Fang Yun was enjoying Qingrong's shoulder-squeezing service and whispered something.

Qingrong lowered her eyes, "Although Wang Cainu's whistling is not dignified, at least it is a human life, and she has not done anything evil, but she fell into the hands of Qiu Baolin. The Qiu family is capable of doing it. The girl from the direct branch plotted against the main empress, and the girl from the side branch killed the concubines who lived with her. How are they raised?"

"If you don't say that bloodline is a mysterious thing, they really look like sisters." Yan Wei peeled the lychee beside him, removed the core, and brought it over, "Your Majesty, you have to be careful about this. In addition to Qiu Baolin, there are also There is Lan Liangyuan, but she is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Fang Yun waved his hand to ask Qingrong to stop, then took a small silver fork and started enjoying the lychees.

"Don't worry, I know it all in my heart. Now that Lan Liangyuan has just touched Concubine Wan, I don't dare to make any small moves. When the matter between Concubine Yan and Qiu Baolin is settled, Concubine Wan's confinement will be lifted. By then , I will naturally have a good fight with Lan Liangyuan in the ring, I just need to watch the show."

After hearing this, the two maids looked at each other and nodded.

Just at this moment, footsteps came from the door.

In a blink of an eye, Pei Yao's figure appeared at the door.

"The Emperor is here." Fang Yun stood up with a smile, but did not walk over in a hurry.

Pei Yao came in familiarly and sat down next to her.

"Are these lychees to your taste? They said this variety of lychees tastes better, so I only got two baskets and sent them to the palace."

One basket is in Fengxuan Palace, and the other basket is in Yuzhang Palace.

"It's sweet and delicious. Your Majesty should also try it." Fang Yun fed him one with his own hands.

Pei Yao smiled and ate, and then said, "I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Fang Yun asked.

"I want to send Liu Qin out of Beijing to investigate a case for me." Pei Yao said.

Fang Yun looked at him, "What should the emperor and his concubines discuss about this kind of matter? Naturally, the emperor has the final say on all matters in the previous dynasty."

"Didn't I just watch him get married to the girl from the Qu family? Now I'm letting him go on a far journey. I'm afraid you'll be unhappy." Pei Yao smiled.

But when he smiled like this, Fang Yun felt something in his heart.

"Is this mission out of Beijing a little dangerous?"

"I can't hide it from you."

Pei Yao took the tea brewed by Qing Rong, took a sip, and then said in a deep voice.

"A secret report came from Huzhou, saying that local officials were secretly raising taxes. Huzhou is also a wealthy place, a land of plenty, with many lakes and rivers. Most of Daqi's water transport passes through Huzhou. This water transport is the most manipulative. "

"There are bound to be many interests involved in this matter. Your Majesty asked Liu Qin to go. This is an offending errand."

Fang Yun sighed helplessly, and then said.

"I will not interfere with the emperor's decision. Since the emperor sent him, he must have felt that he can shoulder this important task, but I have one request."

"You said."

"I beg your Majesty to arrange for a trustworthy bodyguard to accompany him. This trip is very dangerous. Firstly, I don't want to lose my brother. Secondly, I don't want to see the girl from the Qu family become a widow just after she got married."

When he said this, Fang Yun had a bit of worry on his face and frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, he has taken care of this matter. When he returns to Beijing, I will let him join the household department to practice." Pei Yao said.

Hearing this, Fang Yun nodded slightly and finally said, "I have been keeping an eye on the Yining Palace for the past few days. Concubine Yan seems to be intending to bribe the palace people on her way out of the palace. I don't know what she is planning."

"My secret guard is already staring at the Yining Palace. Even if she grows wings, she won't be able to escape." Pei Yao's eyes became colder.

Fang Yun said seriously, "The more she does this, the more disadvantageous she will be to the emperor. The emperor must be careful."

"I know everything." Pei Yao nodded. It’s the final critical moment to close the net, so we need to be extremely careful.

Pei Yao sat in Yuzhang Palace for half a day and left at night without staying overnight.

The next day, Qiu Baolin went to Jingqian Palace with the snacks he made.

That night, Jingqian Palace summoned Qiu Baolin again.

When everyone looked at him, they felt that Qiu Baolin was favored again, and some were envious and jealous for a while.

As everyone knows, Qiu Baolin himself was happy, but also inexplicably worried.

But now that I have moved into Yining Palace, I see Concubine Yan looking calm and relaxed every day. I just feel that I am too nervous, so I don't think much about it.

No matter what, she is now favored again, and this is the important thing.

"Baolin, Concubine Yan has sent meigu pills again." Rongxiu whispered.

Qiu Baolin glanced at the box in Rong Xiu's hand, "I think I no longer need these things to compete for favor. The emperor already likes me, so let her take such good things back and keep them. You can use it yourself later.”

Hearing this, Rong Xiu nodded and sent the pill back to the main hall.

As for Lin Chan, looking at Mei Gu who was sent back, a cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"I'm really confident in myself."

"Why don't you mix this thing with other things and give it to her to eat?" Liuli said.

Lin Chan narrowed her eyes and said, "No need, let Ah Jin do it."

Ah Jin, who was standing aside, nodded and silently retreated.

The next day, when Qiu Baolin woke up, he found some rash on his face.

Looks like he's on fire.

But unexpectedly, I asked the imperial doctor to prescribe ointment, but after using it for three or four days, it had no effect at all.

How could he go to bed with a face like this?

But at this time, news came from Jingqian Palace that the emperor invited her to visit the Imperial Garden.

Qiu Baolin looked in the mirror and saw a few obvious red pimples on his face, feeling extremely irritated. Only then did he think of Lin Chan's Meigu Pills again.

Immediately ordered Rong Xiu, "Go quickly and go to Concubine Yan to ask for a pill. I can't see the emperor with such a face. Today I will think of a reason to refuse the emperor's invitation. Tomorrow I must go and apologize to the emperor." That’s it.”

Rongxiu responded and went immediately.

Qiu Baolin got the pills and took them without hesitation, feeling somewhat at ease inexplicably.

That day, Qiu Baolin said that he had a headache due to the wind in the morning, so he declined Pei Yao's invitation to visit the Royal Garden. When he woke up the next day, he saw that the rash on his face had receded, and his appearance became radiant again, and he felt confident My heart has returned a bit.

I took the initiative to go to Jingqian Palace.

Needless to say, we stayed overnight.

When Lin Chan heard the news, she just played with the last charm in her hand with a calm expression.

"it's time."

"Then, I will announce to the outside world tomorrow that the empress is suffering from an illness and needs to be isolated and rest alone." Ah Jin said in a low voice.

Liuli brought a cup of warm water with a red pill next to it.

"Your Majesty, please take it. After taking this pill, you will be extremely weak, as if you are suffering from smallpox, and your pulse will be basically the same. It is not easy to detect the disguise. It's just hard work, Your Majesty. You will have to endure the pain of high fever in the following days. "(End of chapter)
