The tenderness had not yet ended, and Queen Mi began to try to get words and attitude from him.
"She has never harmed anyone in the Western Expedition Army. In a sense, Empress Tianwu has helped my fathers settle accounts... and Concubine Yin and I have no conflict of interest."
"Is that all? No, I want to know more..."
Queen Mi took the initiative to hold the man's face in a flattering manner and gently rubbed his lips.
I knew she was deliberately flattering me, but her noble reserve made her exude infinite charm. Beauty is like a knife, soft and gentle but able to scrape away bones and soul.
Chu Bu She finally said only a little and then nothing, and Queen Mi confirmed that Chu Bu She had a more moderate attitude towards Du Shi Xuan, and she barely felt relieved.
But time was running out and she had to go back to the palace.
"No, I want to rest for a few days. Can you wait for me to invite you before asking for it? Don't mention this matter on weekdays. I'm afraid I can't hold back."
Queen Mi spoke bluntly and proactively with difficulty, as if expressing her true feelings from the bottom of her heart. She completely surrendered to his bravery, which did not make people feel that it conflicted with her previous cold temper.
His acting is impeccable, which proves the saying that "high-end hunters always appear as prey."
"Okay, I promise, but where are you going?"
"I, I'm a little confused. I want to go out for a walk and come back later..."
Chapter 110 Sisterly Love
In the imperial palace, in the queen's bedroom.
Mi Yuexi, who had disguised herself as Qiao Xiang, waited anxiously and nervously, but her sister never showed up.
"Qiaoxiang, why hasn't the Queen shown up yet? She anxiously asked me to enter the palace, but then she suddenly said that the Emperor had something urgent to attend to and had to leave. It's been so long."
Mi Yuexi's voice became louder unconsciously, but when she saw Zhen Qiaoxiang's hushing reminder, she was able to control her emotions.
At the moment, there is still a "Queen" and a "Maiden" in the room.
The "Queen" sitting at the coffee table is naturally Zhen Qiaoxiang in disguise, while the "maid Qiaoxiang" is Mi Yuexi, who looks most like Queen Mi.
This is like a replacement reaction. If Queen Mi needs to leave the palace, she can use disguise to exchange identities.
If someone from Du Shixuan wanted to visit the Queen, they would use the identity of "Qiao Xiang" as an intermediary and enter the palace in turn.
After all, as the queen's personal maid, it was very easy for Qiaoxiang to leave the palace and it was difficult for her to arouse suspicion.
This is the first time this secret communication method has been used in all these years.
"Master, please be patient. The Empress is probably busy. She has not responded for so long. Maybe she is accompanying the Emperor to enjoy the scenery. She cannot leave early even if she is bored!"
Qiao Xiang followed Queen Mi's instructions in advance and comforted the headmaster in a gentle voice.
This careful and meticulous personal maid would check her makeup from time to time for any flaws, not daring to be negligent.
However, although she was able to disguise herself as the queen, her temperament was much inferior. Her manners and false voice were impeccable, but no one could tell what the problem was.
"Well! Well, I'll wait a little longer. Being a queen isn't easy..."
Mi Yuexi's sigh was filled with self-blame and shame towards her sister and her master.
Not only does she have to accompany a eunuch with laughter all the time, but she also has to bear the pressure of scheming against Concubine Yin. She has to keep all her complaints in her heart. Mi Yuexi feels hard for her sister.
But...she has already made so many sacrifices for the prosperity of her sect, but she, as the sect leader, made a stupid mistake.
Not only did he lose all his skills, but he also lost his sight by finding a third-rate person as his disciple.
She really feels sorry for her sister...
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Mi Yuexi asked Qiao Xiang:
"Qiaoxiang, is the queen really in love with the emperor? If so, she should feel better. At least she won't have to put on a forced smile and accompany an emotionless eunuch all day long just for the sake of her master..."
Qiao Xiang shook her head and sighed softly:
"When the Empress is not accompanying the Emperor to watch the fish, she often sits in this courtyard with a blank expression, thinking about the chess game with Concubine Yin."
Her expressionless face when she was alone didn't mean she was in a bad mood, but perhaps it was because she was relieving her tired cheeks after smiling for a long time?
At the palace gate, a "Qiao Xiang" entered the palace. The imperial guards at the gate had already changed shifts and did not suspect anything, so she easily returned to the queen's bedroom.
After entering the palace courtyard, this "Qiao Xiang" changed her clothes in the dark, took off her disguise, and put back on the phoenix crown and robe.
During the process of changing clothes, what bothered her the most was not the change of makeup, but...she had to squat down and throw away the tenderness and love Chu Buyeshe gave her.
Otherwise, it would be easy to leave clear marks on the carpet in the bedroom as you walk.
After everything was settled, Queen Mi went into her room and pretended that she had just met with the Emperor and had just returned in a hurry.
"Yuexi, sorry for the long wait. I didn't expect the emperor to go fishing today. I can't leave..."
"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work, sister. Why did you call me here today?"
When Queen Mi saw that her sister was so tolerant of her, she felt ashamed and blamed herself. She had been waiting in the palace for most of the day but she didn't complain at all.
In fact, until she entered the palace, she had been hugged tightly by Chu Buye for most of the time. At one point, she was suffocated and lost consciousness by his rough and reckless hug...
It's really hard to talk about it, but fortunately I did gain something, and I can barely provide him with food and shelter.
Queen Mi gave Qiao Xiang a look, and she immediately understood, changed back into her makeup, and went outside the room to keep watch.
Queen Mi took her sister Mi Yuexi's hand and said to her earnestly and deeply:
"Yuexi, I will help you find out about the news of the Western Expedition Army. You don't have to worry about Chu Bushe finding out."
"!?" Mi Yuexi's voluptuous body trembled, and she looked at the queen in confusion and fear.
My sister...knows everything?
"You don't have to look at me like that. I already know a thing or two about you staying with Chu Bu She. I've also sent someone to talk to Chu Bu She and stabilized him a little, bringing him closer to us."
Knowing one or two things means how much you know?
My sister knows everything about what happened on Qianlong Island?!
But Queen Mi's reaction made the beautiful lady in charge calm down a lot. If she really knew so much, she would not have reacted like this. It would be normal to scold her.
Mi Yuexi only listened to what Queen Mi said afterwards and was a little absent-minded. She only wanted to recover her martial arts as soon as possible so that she could return to her master with a clear conscience.
Now that Queen Mi has actually taken the initiative to contact Chu Bushe, the chances of things being exposed in the future are much greater. We can’t wait any longer!
"It's almost time. Yuexi, you can disguise yourself as 'Qiaoxiang' and leave. It's normally the time for the guards to change shifts. There are people from my palace inside. If you are questioned, just say you bought food for the queen."
"Ah."
"Remember what I said, just keep a good distance from Chu Bu She. I have already said hello to him, he will treat you politely... I am your elder sister, I know that Yue Xi, you stay by his side for the sake of your master, but it is enough for you to manage the affairs of the sect with peace of mind, I will take care of these things for you."
Queen Mi hugged her sister, and the two sisters, with full chests, hugged each other. Although they were no longer in their youth, the long-lost hug reminded them of the carefree time when they practiced martial arts in the master's door.
The past was beautiful, but at this moment, the twin sisters were both filled with different kinds of shame and self-blame.
Mi Yuexi didn't know how she left the palace. She only knew that Chu Bushe kept the secret for her and did not tell Queen Mi.
In this matter, Mi Yuexi was very grateful to Chu Bushe. She really didn't want to see her sister's desperate expression when she found out that all her efforts were burned to ashes by the person she trusted.
When he returned to the clinic, Chu Bushe was sitting on a throne, rocking and drinking tea leisurely.
"Hey, you're back from your walk?"
The beautiful lady who was the head of the sect with a stunning appearance walked up to Chu Bu She with a worried look on her face. Suddenly, she raised her eyes and looked at him firmly.
However, Mi Yuexi's tone no longer had the dignity and reserve of a sect leader. She pleaded in a humbly voice, saying:
"Chu Bushe, I want to use my service to exchange for you to treat my meridians. The amount of treatment each time is up to you. As long as you are willing to treat me, I will make up for it with the number of times you serve me.
...What do you think? "
Chu Bu She's hand holding the teapot froze, his thoughts still on the moment when Queen Mi had just left.
Shouldn't her words be a plan for Mi Yuexi, wanting Chu Bushe to not touch Mi Yuexi's body for the next few days, and wait until Queen Mi exchanges identities again before coming back to "entertain" him?
Why did Mi Yuexi have this reaction when she came back?
So, what did Queen Mi say to Mi Yuexi?
Chapter 111 The Emperor's Paranoia
It has to be said that Chu Bu She was frightened.
The two sisters' reactions before and after didn't match up at all. This unfathomable situation was like an empty city plan in front of him.
The smooth jade gate of the beautiful woman who heads the sect opened towards him, extending the most sincere invitation, but Chu Bushe at least stopped and was alert, and chose not to get involved. He did not touch her at all, and directly treated her briefly for a while.
"You...are not going to do anything else?"
Mi Yuexi was suspicious and puzzled. Since the acupuncture with golden needles on Qianlong Island, Chu Bushe had not hugged her again.
Now, he would rather help her treat her meridians than touch her...
"No, you should take a rest first."
How could Sect Leader Yu Mi know the many truths involved, so Chu Bu She quickly retreated back to his room.
He just lay down when he felt uneasy again. Thinking that he hadn't "favored" his sister Si Qingyun for a while, he set off to the Heavenly Prison to find her.
......
At the same time, in the palace.
"Eunuch, has the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality been found?"
The emperor picked up a handful of fish food and threw it into the pairs of koi in the lotus pond. His gesture unconsciously became an orchid finger, which might be the effect of being castrated - realizing this, the emperor's face became gloomy.
The force of feeding the fish increased dramatically, like throwing a hidden weapon. The two koi fish turned upside down and died on the spot. Their bodies were covered with bright red, and the red ink floated in the pond water.
The silver-haired eunuch in a gorgeous robe saw this and said calmly without changing his expression:
"Yes, the people of Tiandao Society have been observing Li Ci's whereabouts for many years. Her whereabouts are erratic, but there is one thing she must do every year. In a few days, it will be her routine day to deliver money and goods to the merchant surnamed Wu."
The businessman named Wu Liangde was the one who went to Beijing to advise Prince Rong not to be a sucker when he was disbanding his wealth and buying up the Western Expedition Army tokens.
The emperor took the fishing net, scooped up the two koi that had died suddenly, and ordered the palace maid to take them to the imperial kitchen to be cooked.
After watching the maid leave, he continued:
"She must have taken the Vermillion Bird Pill that my mother made. That is the elixir of immortality. Li Ci is the flesh of Tang Monk. Who do you think should be sent to bring her back?"
"Lingyun Sword Pavilion has the intention of getting close to Your Majesty, and has already arrived in the capital early, preparing to send Your Majesty a birthday gift as soon as possible. Why not let them present a letter of surrender?"
The old eunuch said humbly.
"Okay, then let's do as the eunuch said and let Lingyun Sword Pavilion cooperate with the people in Tiandao Society and act together."
The emperor nodded happily and ignored the old eunuch, who left on his own and exited the imperial garden.
He had been watching the emperor for a long time. This emperor, who used to ignore state affairs, allowed his concubines to take charge of government affairs after he came to power. However, his behavior in recent days has been strange. From time to time, he would kill the fish and birds in the imperial garden and cook and eat them in pairs.
This is probably the beginning of an attempt to take back power from the queen and concubines.
And Du Shixuan stands behind the Queen, so His Majesty must have already had the idea of supporting Lingyun Sword Pavilion.
The old eunuch is only suggesting this now, just to guess the emperor's intention.
The old eunuch thought about the emperor's recent changes and recalled how it felt to serve him over the years.
He vaguely felt that the emperor deliberately delegated power to Empress Mi and Concubine Yin.
But once they are released, they will be taken back, and the power that makes them supreme will be taken away in one day, in order to satisfy the emperor's desire to hold absolute power and do whatever he wants.
Watch them build their buildings, and then watch them collapse.
A simple sentence or a decision can bring about earth-shaking changes in the fate of a group of people.
No matter how noble and supreme she had been, it was only a matter of a word from the emperor.
Just like back then, when Empress Tianwu was furious, the prince became a eunuch on his birthday.
He wanted to ask for a birthday gift from his mother, but ended up becoming a laughing stock.
The emperor needs to fill the emptiness in his heart from somewhere else, and Queen Mi and Concubine Yin may be his targets.
One represents the highest sect in the martial arts world, and the other represents the remnants of Empress Tianwu's followers.
The old eunuch was thinking and soon found the people from Lingyun Sword Pavilion.
After the group sent reinforcements, they found Elder Cha's body and were now silent and sad.
The appearance of the old eunuch made everyone perk up. The eldest brother Dong Chengpeng asked about the purpose of the eunuch's visit and learned that the eunuch was ordered by the emperor to come and give them a chance to be loyal.
