Warm medicine emits fragrance

"What have you heard?" Fan Liuer asked secretly.

The Empress said, "She is said to be arrogant, ruthless, and jealous; in short, she is not a kind person."

Fan Liuer listened with sweat dripping down her face. After swallowing hard, she said, "Those are just rumors. Actually, my sister is very easy to get along with and not spoiled at all."

Fan Liuer immediately said, "I swear." Anyway, she felt that she was quite easy to get along with, and whether others felt the same way or not was none of her business.

The Empress breathed a sigh of relief. "Since you say she's easy to get along with, then she must be quite easy to get along with."

"Actually, I don't really believe those rumors from the outside world. I heard that Prince Rong originally wanted to divorce his first wife and make her his official wife, but she refused. Her reason was that the princess had not done anything wrong and was a kind person, so she should not be divorced. Based on this alone, I think she is a good person."

Fan Liuer nodded, "Yes, yes, sister is actually a very insightful person."

Fan Liuer didn't dare to say that Li Chenshu didn't want the position of principal wife, but only because the status of the prince's concubine was enough for her. If the status of the prince's concubine was not enough, then it would be hard to say.

The Empress added, "Actually, I really want Yanqiu to find a capable and intelligent wife."

Fan Liuer had never heard such a statement before; other mothers-in-law only wanted to find an obedient and sensible daughter-in-law.

The Empress noticed her surprise and said, "You know about our family's affairs. Although I am favored, I am not cut out for scheming and intrigue, which is why Yanling and his mother have become increasingly outrageous."

"Moreover, his current status is even more different. As the ruler of a country, Yan Qi only has two sons. In the future, the ministers will definitely want him to have more children."

"If a few powerful women enter the palace, how will I, with my temperament and personality, compete with them?"

"When I grow old and lose my beauty, and Yan Qi's heart is set on someone else, then I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position as Empress, let alone the position of Crown Prince of Yanqiu."

"Therefore, Yanqiu needs to find a capable wife, preferably one who is resourceful and cunning, so that she can help solidify the position of my daughter and me."

As she spoke, she emphasized one point: "As long as she doesn't scheme against me."

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer thought to herself, "Isn't this referring to Li Chenshu?"

She looked at the Empress and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, if that's what you think, then there is no one in the world more suitable than my sister."

The Empress's eyes lit up. "Really? Oh dear, then bring him to the palace another day so I can see him?"

This topic led to a very pleasant conversation between the two, and their relationship quickly became much closer.

Not content with just having Fan Liuer stay for lunch, they also invited her to stay for dinner.

Finally, Li Chenbi came looking for her and allowed Fan Liuer to leave.

The carriage remained waiting at the entrance of the Queen's palace, without the two of them needing to leave the palace.

However, there was an extra carriage, one of which was from Yanqiu, and he insisted on sending the two of them out of the palace.

Everyone knew what he was up to, but no one called him out on it.

Li Chenbi let Fan Liuer ride alone in the carriage behind, while he rode with Yanqiu.

Fan Liuer glanced at Li Chenbi, then lowered her eyes and got into the carriage behind her. Sitting inside, her heart began to race.

According to the plan Li Chenbi told her last night, she knew what was going to happen next.

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace gate.

Time always seems to fly when you're in a rush. Soon the carriage arrived at the palace gate. After the guards checked our identities, they let us through, and the carriage slowly passed through the palace gate.

Fan Liuer clenched her hands on her knees.

After leaving the palace gates, Fan Liuer slowed down in her carriage, increasing the distance between it and the carriages in front.

A moment after leaving the palace gate, before she had walked more than a hundred meters away, Fan Liuer heard exclamations from all around her.

"There's an assassin!"

"Assassins! Protect His Highness!"

Fan Liuer immediately pushed open the carriage window and stuck her head out to look.

Just as she stuck her head out, a figure flashed past the carriage, leaving behind the words, "Don't worry."

After saying that, the man rushed forward.

It is Qi Weiming.

Chaos had broken out ahead; the assassins had hijacked the carriage, and one of them rushed into the carriage, intending to assassinate Yanqiu.

The remaining assassins engaged in combat with the guards who had come to the emperor's rescue.

Not long after the assassin from Yanqiu entered the carriage, the roof of the carriage suddenly burst open, and two figures leaped out of the carriage.

It was Li Chenbi and the assassin.

The two fought fiercely, and every move they made terrified Fan Liuer.

Although she knew it was Li Chenbi's arrangement, she couldn't help but worry.

All the assassins were entangled. Yan Qiu jumped out of the carriage to help Li Chenbi, but was grabbed by Qi Weiming who caught up with him.

"Your Highness, your safety is of utmost importance. Leave this to us, please go to the palace first."

Before Yan Qiu could say anything, Qi Weiming interrupted him, "If anything happens to you, everyone here will be punished."

Upon hearing this, Yanqiu abandoned his idea of ​​helping and, escorted by the guards, turned and walked towards the palace.

After Yanqiu left, Qi Weiming drew his sword and rushed forward to capture the assassin together with Li Chenbi.

The three fought fiercely and their attacks were fast-paced. With many guards rushing in, Fan Liuer couldn't see the battle going on inside at all, so she hurriedly crawled out of the carriage.

As soon as she dared to step out of the carriage, Li Qiuping, who was driving the carriage outside, stopped her, saying, "Madam, it's too chaotic over there. Please don't go out. I'll take you back now."

"What about Li Chenbi?" Fan Liuer asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, there are so many guards, and my skills are superb, nothing will happen," Li Qiuping said, preparing to ride away.

Fan Liuer knew that all of this was arranged by Li Chenbi. Li Chenbi would not let anything happen to her, so the most important thing was for her to leave now and not cause him any trouble.

But I still felt uneasy, so I didn't go back to the carriage and stood at the door looking in that direction.

The carriage started moving, swaying and rocking so much that she could hardly stand. Li Qiuping urged her to get in.

Fan Liuer didn't move, her eyes fixed on the crowd, trying to find Li Chenbi's figure, but she still couldn't see Li Chenbi until the carriage drove away from the area.

While fighting, Li Chenbi kept an eye on Fan Liuer's carriage. After the carriage left, he gave Qi Weiming and the assassin a look.

The assassin immediately swung his sword at Qi Weiming, who dodged with a leap. The assassin, unable to stop his sword, stabbed Li Chenbi instead.

With Li Chenbi's muffled groan, the scene became even more chaotic.

Someone shouted, "Oh no! Lord Li is injured!"

Fan Liuer, who had already left, faintly heard the voice and immediately called for the carriage to stop, "Stop! Stop!"

Li Qiuping didn't stop. "Madam, don't worry, this was all arranged by Master."

Fan Liuer wouldn't listen. The plan Li Chenbi told her last night didn't include the possibility of him getting hurt.
