This sentence really touched Xuan Yelan's heart. He did have this idea. It would be great if he could conquer Qing Kingdom without spending a single soldier. However...

Xuan Yelan glanced at Li Yun. Could he trust his words?

Qi Wuyou thought of the plot of the original book. Although she didn't finish reading it, she knew the ending.

Xuan Yelan did unify the country, and the book seems to mention that the relationship between the heroine and the Emperor of Qing is unusual.

Qi Wuyou glanced at Li Yun. Could this man be the future emperor of Qing Kingdom?

She followed what Xuan Yelan wanted to say to refuse, looked at Li Yun and said word by word, "How can you ensure that you keep your word?"

Li Yun raised his head, looked directly into Qi Wuyou's eyes, and said with a wry smile, "I have never thought about the supreme position from the beginning. I killed the queen only to avenge my mother."

Qi Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we promise you."

Xuan Yelan's eyes showed astonishment. Li Yun was stunned for a moment, but was immediately replaced by joy.

"But..." Qi Wuyou changed the subject, and Li Yun's heart was lifted, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Qi Wuyou said, "We can help you, but only to help you pass the message and escape. Don't even think about anything else."

Li Yun cupped his hands, "These are enough."

On the way back, Xuan Yelan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree to him? I want to take down Qingguo by myself."

There was a lot of dissatisfaction in his words, but this dissatisfaction was directed at Li Yun. In his opinion, that brat definitely had no good intentions in approaching his An An.

Qi Wuyou laughed, "So didn't I say that we can only help him escape? Since he wants to disrupt the court of Qing, let him go."

Xuan Yelan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qi Wuyou, "Okay, I know you are wise and brave, and your skills are unparalleled, but it is the people who suffer in the war."

Xuan Yelan pondered for a moment and felt that Qi Wuyou was right, so he stopped worrying about it.

Before the two entered the inn, Liu He came out to greet them.

"What's wrong?" Qi Wuyou asked.

Usually when she and Xuan Yelan went out, Liu He wanted to lie in bed till it rotted. But now that the sun was rising from the west, Liu He actually got up.

Liu He pointed his eyes inside the inn, and then whispered, "There's a letter from the palace."

Qi Wuyou was confused. Didn't he just receive a letter this morning? Why is there another letter?

After the two of them walked into the study and closed the door, Liu He slowly took out the small note from his arms.

When Qi Wuyou took it and looked at it, he found that the tea had been sprayed out.

The memorial said that the Baohua Palace was filled with a foul stench and was suspected to be caused by poisoning.

Qi Wuyou was silent. She remembered that she had given the poison to Concubine Li yesterday, so how come Concubine Yin was poisoned today?

Moreover, Liu He said that the letter arrived at the end of the hour of Wei. Excluding the time when the letter was delivered, didn't Concubine Yin fall victim to the attack at noon yesterday?

Concubine Li is really talented. She gave the medicine right after returning to the palace? Concubine Yin was poisoned?

Qi Wuyou immediately called Mei Xue in, "Mei Xue, have someone send some goodies to Concubine Li. Remember to send them to Jingyang Palace as usual."

Mei Xue responded and went out, and Qi Wuyou could no longer hold back his laughter.

But then I thought, Concubine Yin is already like this, she won’t refuse to attend the birthday banquet, right? If she doesn’t attend, how can the plan be implemented?

Qi Wuyou quickly called Mei Xue, who had just left, in and said, "Tell Concubine Rou to find a way to make Concubine Yin attend the birthday banquet. Give her an antidote and let her handle it herself."

Jingyang Palace.

It had been more than two hours since the letter was sent out. Concubine Li was scratching her ears and cheeks anxiously, pacing back and forth in the main hall.

Concubine Rou took a sip of tea and said, "Be quiet."

Concubine Li ran to sit next to Concubine Rou and said, "Aren't you anxious at all? Aren't you worried whether your heart has been delivered?"

Concubine Rou shook her head and said, "Don't worry. Letters have arrived safely over the years."

Concubine Li asked again, "Didn't you say the letter would arrive in about two hours? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Concubine Rou was calm and composed. "Maybe the queen has gone out again. Please be patient and wait."

Seeing that she didn't care at all, Concubine Li sat aside angrily and sulked.

After a while Zui Xiang came back with a bag on her back. Concubine Li hurried over and asked, "How's the matter? Did you receive a letter?"

Zui Xiang looked at Concubine Li's anxious look and felt inexplicably amused, but she held back and just shook her head lightly, "I don't know."

As he said this, he placed the basket in front of Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou slowly took out an envelope and poured out a page of paper and a pill from it.

Concubine Li looked at Zui Xiang and glared at her, "Well, you little girl dared to lie to me."

Zui Xiang curled her lips, made a face, and hid behind Concubine Rou.

Although Concubine Li was indignant, she was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Zuixiang. She would wait until she finished reading the letter before dealing with her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li came up to Concubine Rou and asked with a smile, "What did the letter say?"

Concubine Rou glanced at Concubine Li, handed the letter to her and asked her to read it herself.

After seeing this, Concubine Li's eyes widened. "I finally gave her the drug, why do I have to give it back to her?"

Then she looked at Concubine Rou, "You can't give her the antidote."

Concubine Rou ignored her and rummaged through the basket again to see what else was inside.

There were some food in it. She took them out one by one. Concubine Li was so attracted that she no longer had the mood to talk to her about the antidote.

Concubine Rou didn't understand why, because Miss Yu had never sent so much food before.

As she was rummaging through the documents, Concubine Rou found a small box. Judging from its shape, it should contain jewelry such as hairpins.

When she opened it, she found that it was similar in style to the one Miss Yu had given her before, but hers was a pearl hairpin, while this one was Bu Yao's.

When Concubine Rou thought of the reply letter she had received before, she knew that this one should be sent to Concubine Li.

Thinking of this, she pushed the box in front of Concubine Li, "This is given to you by the Queen, take a look, do you like it?"

Concubine Li was enjoying her meal. Upon hearing what was said, she looked at the box in front of her. Inside was a finely crafted hairpin that looked very valuable.

Concubine Li swallowed her saliva, rubbed her hands on her clothes, and looked at Concubine Rou at a loss, "Is it really for me?"

Concubine Rou nodded, "Yes, didn't the Queen promise you? This is something everyone has."

As she spoke, Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Li with a sly smile on her face, "If you don't want it, just give it to me. I like the step-shaking ornaments more."

As he was about to reach out to take it, Concubine Li was quick to put the box in her arms and said, "You wish. You already have it, but you still want to take it from me."

Concubine Rou looked at it with amusement and said sarcastically, "Who on earth is this? He took my pearl hairpin because he thought it was beautiful, and now he is taking her hairpin as if he wants her life."

Concubine Li blushed and pretended to be pitiful, "Good sister, we are sisters now, can we take turns wearing it in the future?"

After saying that, she blinked her big watery eyes, as if she was really afraid that Concubine Rou would be angry.

Concubine Rou was instantly defeated and burst out laughing, "I was just kidding. Once you wear this hairpin, you will be like a real sister. You can never regret it."
