"Hey!"
Thinking of this, the Empress gritted her teeth in anger.
"First they targeted the Crown Prince, and now they've set their sights on me."
"The person behind this is truly ruthless in their scheme!"
"Who could it be?"
"Could it be... Chen Pingping? Fan Jian?"
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her thoughts became.
The reason for the speculation that it was Chen Pingping and Fan Jian is that both of them hated her to the core.
After the massacre at Taiping Villa, it was these two men who, along with the Black Riders and guards, slaughtered her entire lineage.
Chapter 74: Emperor Qing is enraged! Using the Empress as bait! The Empress's reputation is ruined, and the revenge begins!
After much deliberation, the Empress was still unable to reach a definite answer.
"Ugh……"
For a moment, a long sigh escaped from the Queen's lips.
She is no longer the empress who once reigned supreme over the world.
She still had some confidence if Crown Prince Li Chengqian was still in power.
If she can't do something herself, her son Li Chengqian can help her do it.
But now, the Crown Prince himself is embroiled in scandal and has been confined to the Eastern Palace by Emperor Qing. How can he possibly help her?
"Perhaps... this is just the beginning?"
Suddenly, the empress realized something and trembled uncontrollably.
……
The next day, early morning.
Sang Wen's snow-white back gleamed like pearls in the morning light, and her black hair cascaded down Chen Qingfeng's chest.
Chen Qingfeng did not return to his residence last night.
Instead, he spent the night with Sang Wen.
Chen Qingfeng woke up first and looked at the sleeping beauty in his arms, his heart fluttering.
Just then, Sang Wen slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Chen Qingfeng looking at him with a strange expression, he frowned slightly.
"Young master, why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and joked:
"Why?"
"You're my woman, and I can't even look at you?"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Sang Wen blushed, her mind in turmoil, and she didn't know what to say.
Seeing Sang Wen blush, Chen Qingfeng continued to tease her:
"I feel embarrassed just looking at it, but what if I were to actually use it...?"
Before Chen Qingfeng could finish speaking, Sang Wenyu raised her hand and lightly punched Chen Qingfeng's chest twice.
"Young master, you are really... becoming more and more improper."
How can it be described with the word "..."
Chen Qingfeng smiled, intrigued, and asked in return:
"Then, how should we describe Miss Sangwen's insightful opinion?"
"what……"
Sang Wen was stunned, his mind becoming dazed from Chen Qingfeng's teasing.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng put his arm around Sang Wen and said with a smile:
"Okay!"
"I won't tease you anymore."
"I'll go check the secret room. You rest a bit more."
Then, Chen Qingfeng got up and went to the secret room where the coffin was placed.
Upon seeing Ye Qingmei lying in the coffin, Chen Qingfeng's face showed a look of anticipation.
With his abilities, he could have made a discovery with just a little investigation.
The vitality within Ye Qingmei's body had become even stronger than it had been yesterday after consuming the Immortal Herb, and her previously lifeless skin was slowly recovering.
"The Immortal Herb really works!"
Chen Qingfeng said.
My heart was filled with boundless anticipation.
What expressions will Emperor Qing and the others have when they see Ye Qingmei resurrected?
"Although the herb is effective, I don't know when it will be able to fully awaken her?"
"What if the power of a magical herb is exhausted and it still cannot bring the dead back to life?"
Thinking of this, Chen Qingfeng frowned, still somewhat worried.
"It seems that we can only hope that this magical herb will bring her back to life!"
"Otherwise, we'll have to try to find a way to get the Immortal Herb as a reward from the system again."
With that, Chen Qingfeng took a deep breath, didn't linger in the secret room, and turned to leave.
He had just arrived at the backyard of Tianji Pavilion when he saw Sang Wen hurrying towards him.
"Ok?"
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng frowned slightly and said with a hint of doubt:
"Why did you get up? Didn't I tell you to rest a little longer?"
Sang Wen pursed his lips, looking slightly anxious, and quickly said:
"Young master, we have just received the latest news."
"Something happened in the palace last night."
"The Empress ordered a young eunuch who had served her for many years to be beaten to death."
"Nowadays, rumors are circulating in the palace that the little eunuch is having an affair with the Empress and is using this to blackmail her!"
"In a fit of rage, the Empress ordered the young eunuch to be beaten to death."
After hearing what Sang Wen said, Chen Qingfeng was slightly surprised:
"Just because a minor eunuch was beaten to death, they're suspected of having an affair? This news doesn't sound very reliable."
Upon hearing this, Sang Wen quickly explained:
"When the eunuch was arrested, the guards saw with their own eyes that the Empress was disheveled."
"The Empress was furious!"
"The little eunuch kept begging for mercy, saying that he would never dare to do it again."
"But unfortunately, he was still beaten to death by the Empress."
Zhong Chen Qingfeng glanced at him slightly. If that was the case, then the message was much more credible.
Then, Sang Wen continued:
"Besides this version, there are also rumors that the empress was discovered having an affair with that little eunuch."
In her haste, the Empress accused the eunuch of insubordination and ordered him to be beaten to death.
"After all, the dead are the best at keeping secrets."
"In short, there are so many rumors about the Empress that they could fill a book."
"Although it's obvious to everyone that this was done on purpose to ruin the Empress's reputation."
"The method was a bit clumsy, but it was very effective."
"In any case, the Empress's reputation is now completely severed from that little eunuch who was beaten to death."
At this point, Sang Wen let out a long sigh and said with emotion:
"Young master, I've noticed that things have been a bit chaotic in the palace lately."
"Not long ago, the Crown Prince was embroiled in a scandal, and now the Empress is also involved in something similar."
There must be something fishy going on behind these two events!
"How about... I ask the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to pay more attention to these two matters and see if we can find out who's behind them?"
As he spoke, Sang Wen glanced at Chen Qingfeng.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, and shook his head, saying:
"The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion need not get involved in these two matters."
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's reply, a flash of surprise quickly crossed Sang Wen's eyes.
"Could these things be related to the young master?"
"No, if the young master wanted to deal with the Empress, he wouldn't use such methods."
Who could it be?
What Sang Wen didn't know was...
The reason Chen Qingfeng didn't let her investigate was because Chen Qingfeng knew everything about what had happened to the Crown Prince and the Empress.
