Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 72: Shallow Counterattack

Baili Yong felt that the family of three had almost finished their private conversation, so he slowly walked in.

"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

Baili Yong stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to stand up.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't need to be too polite or too restrained."

Ran Qianxi has always had a loud voice. If he comes in so quietly, the mystery of his life will definitely be exposed.

"Your Majesty...you were at the door just now?"

Baili Yong smiled and glanced at her.

"What? Did you tell me something behind my back? Are you so scared?"

Ran Qianxi quickly waved her hands to deny it!

"No, no, no, no... There is nothing that the emperor cannot hear. Absolutely not. Your Majesty is so famous, please don't wrongly accuse us."

Baili Yong raised the corner of his mouth. He always felt that she was cute for some unknown reason and was amused by her.

"You've said so much, it's obvious that you're guilty."

Xiahou Jin and Ran Yuelian also became nervous.

"No, how could I feel guilty~"

Baili Yong stroked her forehead with a doting and serious expression.

"Don't worry, Xi'er. I don't care what secrets you have, as long as it's you."

He was obviously hinting at something, and Ran Yuelian and Xiahou Jin became even more nervous.

"I'm sure it's me. Come on... Let's go see silly Ran Qiongxi."

The two came to the backyard, where Ran Qiongxi was shooting arrows, looking carefree and unrestrained. It was hard to tell that there was an idiot girl. No matter where she was, she would be a fanatic of all the young ladies.

"Big brother."

Ran Qianxi ran over and hugged him, which scared him so much that his mouth twitched and he immediately raised his hands. Did the girl get lost and become possessed?

"That's great, big brother. You are my real brother."

Ran Qiongxi frowned, and looked disgusted no matter how she looked at her.

"I'll find a witch for you?"

Ran Qianxi hugged him and rubbed him hard, acting coquettishly and frightening him so much that he dared not even breathe. What's wrong with her? Is it because she always disciplines her and she wants to find an excuse to scare herself to death?

"Brother... it's the wisteria scent of brother... it's my dear brother..."

The surprise on Ran Qiongxi's face never faded away when she saw Baili Yong bowing.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Baili Yong looked at Ran Qianxi and felt that he could completely understand her feelings. She was probably scared because she knew that she was not her biological child.

"Song Song Song... What's wrong with you?"

Ran Qianxi let go of Ran Qiongxi, her eyes slightly red.

"No."

Seeing the girl's red eyes, he was also infected and suddenly felt a sore nose.

"Don't scare me..."

Ran Qianxi turned and left.

"You look like a bear, who wants to hug you, you stink..."

Ran Qiongxi was stunned, she just said she smelled good.

Although I don't know why, I still feel happy when my sister hugs me, and I feel proud when I tell others about it.

Two days later, the day for the expedition arrived, and Ran Qianxi hurriedly ran out of the city gate to see him off.

"Big brother!"

He was dressed in military armor and looked heroic. He turned around on his tall and handsome horse, and countless young girls among the people who saw him off were distracted.

Ran Qianxi felt the girls' burning gazes and was filled with pride.

"Why did you run out?"

Ran Qianxi fumbled around her waist for a long time and took out an amulet.

"Na~"

Ran Qiongxi smiled faintly. When did this dandy sister start doing girlish things?

"You asked me for it?"

Ran Qianxi smiled and stuffed the amulet into his belt.

"Nonsense, since you don't have a wife, shouldn't I have to think about you? It's so troublesome..."

Ran Qiongxi smiled and raised her hand to touch her head.

"Don't worry, just behave yourself in the palace, or I'll punish you according to family rules when I come back."

"Oh, I know, I know. You really love to nag..."

The battle situation at the front line is tense. Luo Yu receives a notice from Tan Qianhuan and takes advantage of the situation. Now Dachang is surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, and Tan Qianhuan is one step closer to his goal.

Luo Yu has always wanted to take Changguo, and Nan Yue has always wanted to take Luo Yu. The current situation is the best time for Tan Qianhuan and Shi Huan to fulfill their gentlemanly friendship.

Shi Huan has already sent a letter to Changguo, and is waiting for the right time to send troops to support, so that Luo Yu can be captured.

The war on the front line continued, the fighting in the harem never stopped, Ran Qianxi suffered misfortune again and again, and finally she could no longer bear it and hit those concubines in the weak spot!

The twelfth month of the twenty-ninth year of Taichang—

Ran Qianxi stood in a remote corner of the palace and gave instructions.

"Put this box of medicine in Concubine Zhou's palace."

Sui Xue and Yu Qing were always smart and understood what she meant immediately.

In the deep palace, the tactic of inflicting pain on oneself is the fastest-acting tactic.

At noon on the second day, a bowl of soup fell to the ground, shattering the peace of the palace.

"The Queen! The Queen!!"

Just as Baili Yong was leaving court, Yuqing hurriedly ran to the hearing hall.

"Your Majesty, please go and see the Queen."

Baili Yong hurried back to the palace, where Ran Qianxi was lying unconscious on the dragon bed, with cold sweat all over his head and shivering slightly, which made people panic.

"What happened to Xier?"

Sui Xue fell to his knees with a thud.

"The Queen was having breakfast when she suddenly fainted. The imperial physician said she was poisoned."

Baili Yong's expression immediately turned sinister. The imperial physician was checking the remaining soup. After a moment, his whole body shook and he came over, wiping the sweat off his face.

"Your Majesty... someone has put poison in this soup... I am incompetent and cannot tell what kind of poison it is..."

"Useless things!"

The imperial physician fell to the ground in panic, begging for mercy.

"I am incompetent, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Was the breakfast delivered by the kitchen?"

Yuqing also knelt down immediately.

"Yes."

Baili Yong waved his sleeves!

"Investigate the kitchen strictly!"

Ran Qianxi had been unconscious for a long while and had not yet woken up. A young eunuch came out from the kitchen and confessed everything about how Concubine Zhou had ordered him to give her a slow-acting poison.

"Search the entire Yunxia Palace for me and find out what's causing harm!"

The palace maids searched everywhere and found a box of poison under Concubine Zhou's dressing table!

Concubine Zhou was horrified. She had clearly destroyed the medicine powder, so why did they find another box?

Chief Steward Sun took her to the palace, and Baili Yong was furious!

"How dare you! She is my queen. How many lives do you have to pay for this crime?"

Concubine Zhou immediately knelt on the ground and defended her innocence.

"I am wronged!"

Ran Qianxi woke up slowly, saw this scene, and walked down the dragon bed weakly. Baili Yong immediately turned around to support her.

"What happened again..."

Seeing her weak appearance, Baili Yong felt distressed.

"I have already found out that it was Concubine Zhou who poisoned you, and I am about to deal with her."

"Poisoned?"

Ran Qianxi glanced at Concubine Zhou. Although there was not much expression, her eyes were that of a winner.

"Jie Yu Zhou has always been kind and honest, and I have never had any grudge against her. Your Majesty, please make a mistake."

Baili Yong's eyes were determined.

"There is no doubt about it. The powder was found in her palace."

Ran Qianxi pretended to be scared.

"What? How is it possible... I really don't know how I could have done anything wrong to them to make them hate me like that..."

Baili Yong helped her turn around, and the provocation and pride in Ran Qianxi's eyes could no longer be hidden.

Sui Xue was proficient in the art of medicine, so he and Ran Qianxi fought an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. I will deal with them."

Ran Qianxi's eyes turned and she hugged Baili Yong and started crying.

"I don't want to live in the palace anymore. I want to go home."

Baili Yong patted her back to comfort her.

"Xi'er, don't cry. I will definitely give you justice. When you have recovered, you can settle your accounts with them one by one."

Ran Qianxi wiped away her tears with grievance.

"it is good."

Baili Yong helped her to the bed and with just one look, Manager Sun understood everything.

"Yes."

He bowed and ordered someone to take Concubine Zhou away.
