A Female King's Love Story

Xi Yue intentionally or unintentionally looked out of the window and saw the two figures leaving one after another. After that, they turned their heads and anxiously looked at Qiao Qiao as they said:

"Your majesty, Luo Qingqing left!"

"Pu ~" Qiao Qiao still spat out the chicken soup in her mouth.

"Your majesty, rinse your mouth." Xiyue picked up a cup of tea and passed it to Qiao Yifeng.

Qiao Qiao still had a calm smile on his face as he received the teacup from Xiyue and rinsed his mouth three or five times before putting the teacup down to indicate that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Your majesty, you clearly know that the soup is poisonous, but why are you putting yourself in danger?" Xiyue asked with a puzzled look.

"What?" There was poison in the soup? "Luo Qingqing sure has a lot of guts to actually poison his majesty!" After Ying Yue, who was confused a moment ago, heard Xiyue's words, she didn't wait for Qiao to reply and angrily shouted, "Your majesty, this servant will go and capture that traitor!"

"Yingyue!" Qiao Qiao still had a helpless look as he called out, "Come back!" In her memories, Xiyue was a very cautious person, and Yingyue was a confused, innocent girl. Some things, Qiao Qiao still didn't quite understand to Yingyue.

"Your Majesty! Luo Qingqing wanted to harm you, and you're still protecting her! " Ying Yue angrily said to Qiao Qiao.

"Yingyue, listen to what the emperor says. The emperor naturally has his reasons." Xiyue looked at Ying Yue with a slightly reproachful gaze. This girl's actions were getting more and more reckless.

Yingyue pouted unwillingly. She didn't expect her elder sister to speak up for Luo Qingqing. She angrily turned her head away and didn't say anything else.

"Yingyue, go report to Concubine Yuan's palace first and tell her that we've returned safely." Joe still deliberately sent Yingyue away.

"But Your Majesty, Luo Qingqing …" Ying Yue said with an unconvinced expression.

"This is an order!" Joe still pulled down his face and said softly.

"Yes." Yingyue saw that Qiao was still angry, so she no longer said anything. She bowed slightly and left the Palace.

"Your Majesty, Yingyue, she …" Xiyue wanted to plead for Yingyue, but she was stopped by Qiao Qiao's hand. The corners of her mouth slightly lifted as she slowly said:

"Yingyue is still a little girl, naturally, I won't blame her. The reason why I sent her away is because I don't want her to wade in this muddy water. Her mind is pure, and it is rare for her to be in the harem."

Xiyue was slightly startled. She truly didn't think that the emperor would put himself in Yingyue's shoes like this. Her lips slowly moved. "Many thanks, your majesty!"

"You two sisters have been by my side since you were young. I know that you two are sincere towards me, and I have long treated you two as sisters. There is no need to thank me." Joe was still chuckling.

"Xiyue thanks your Imperial Majesty for your love." Xiyue's eyes were slightly moist as she looked at Joe, then bowed and said.

"Alright, let's get to the point. Today, I have decided to play it by ear in front of Luo Qingqing. I made her think that I drank the chicken soup that she gave me just to lure out the person behind her."

"Does Your Majesty think that there's someone behind Luo Qingqing?" Xiyue said solemnly.

"Of course, with Luo Jing's ability, he wouldn't be able to get such a strong poison." Qiao Qiao continued to smile slowly. "Besides, when she brought out the chicken soup, she was really afraid that others wouldn't know that there's something wrong with it. With this kind of intelligence, how could she think of such a meticulous plan?"

"The Emperor is right, Luo Qing's mind is indeed …" Xiyue bit her lips, wanting to speak, but then stopped.

"Haha, feel free to speak." However, like Luo Qingqing, this sister-in-law who wants her to die everywhere, she would rather not have it. And Luo Qinglun, if it wasn't for Prime Minister Luo, the two of them, one to steal from the sect, and the other to poison, wouldn't have lived past tomorrow. At this moment, they were at peace, so they were glad that they had a father to support them.

"Thank you, your majesty, but this servant thinks that although Luo Qingqing's poison is quite strong and her plan is good, her methods are still too childish. Anyone would be able to tell that she was anticipating the emperor's soup." Xiyue frowned slightly as she analyzed the situation.

"This is Luo Qingqing's fault for being so clumsy. She has a face full of anger and joy, and from that day in the throne room, who could not feel her love for the emperor's uncle?" "In the few times that she met with me, whenever she mentioned the Emperor's uncle or the Prince, I would find it funny just by thinking about how she wanted to make me die." Qiao Qiao's lips still raised. The person who ordered Luo Qing behind the scenes was also a fool. He didn't use anyone, but had used a girl who didn't know how to hide her feelings.

"The Emperor is right." Xiyue nodded in agreement.

"Send out the news that Zhen has been poisoned immediately, then send someone to follow Luo Qingqing. Be careful, don't let anyone find out." Joe continued to give orders.

"Yes." Xiyue nodded in acknowledgement.

"You can leave now. For the next few days, find something for Yingyue to do. Don't let her get involved in this matter." Joe urged again.

"This servant understands." Xiyue bowed, then left the palace.

The corner of her lips curled up. She had connected the poison incident from the last time with the one she had almost been poisoned, and now that she had found out who had ordered Luo Qingqing to do so, the two matters could be considered one and the same. Besides, the Pure Palace was very heavily guarded, and those who were able to enter and leave the palace as they wished would be related to her, so if these two facts were true, it seemed that Luo Qinglun had spent quite a bit of effort to assassinate his wife.

Qiao Qiao was still deep in thought when suddenly, a burst of depression appeared in his chest and a burst of sweet and fishy smell entered his mouth.

"Pu ~" A mouthful of blood sprayed out. This poison was indeed strong. She had only inhaled it for a moment and was still unable to avoid the poison. It seemed that Qiao Qiao had still underestimated the person who poisoned her.

There was one thing that Hua Bai Ning did not tell Luo Qing, and that was that in order to ensure that this time's operation would be absolutely safe, not to mention keeping the poison in her mouth, even if she smelled it a few times, she would be poisoned to death. The reason she chose not to tell Luo Qing was that she was afraid of her life, and did not even dare to poison her.
