Long Live the Empress

Yan Liyuan paused as he stroked the jade ring. Concubine Shu? That idiot was acting like this just because he had given birth to the second prince and his biological father, Fan Changyue, was the Minister of Revenue. He was really getting bolder and bolder. "Do you know what it means to slander the royal family?"

Li Sheng raised his uninjured arm and said, "I have evidence!"

The secret guard took back his foot from Li Sheng, and Li Sheng immediately knelt on the ground. "When the Concubine Shu came to see me, I was worried that something might happen, so I left evidence... The evidence is in my secret room!"

He Bai, who was sitting at the door, suddenly brightened up when he heard this. He quickly ran to Yan Liyuan's side and said to Li Sheng, "Why don't you open it quickly?"

Li Sheng looked at He Bai who suddenly appeared and was a little confused.

He Bai looked at Li Sheng's dazed look and became anxious. He shouted, "What are you standing there for? Go quickly!"

Li Sheng was frightened by the shout and trembled slightly. He rolled and crawled to a blue brick on the ground. Just as he was about to press it, he was stopped by Wang Yi.

Li Sheng looked at Wang Yi in confusion, but was frightened by Wang Yi's fierce eyes and lowered his head, then silently retreated to the side.

Wang Yi pressed down the green brick hard, and the medicine cabinet in the room opened to both sides.

He Bai's eyes widened with excitement, and he wanted to rush into the dark room, but was stopped by Wang Yi. He Bai didn't understand, "What's wrong? Don't worry, if I find any treasures, I'll give them to you. I just want the herbs!"

Wang Yi's forehead was filled with black lines. Who wants the treasure? "Aren't you afraid there are traps inside?"

Hearing this, He Bai immediately retracted his outstretched foot. That's right! Li Sheng is a sinister and cunning person. Maybe he has installed a trap in the dark room. "Yan Liyuan...Nine thousand years old, then...the medicinal materials must be kept for me!"

Yan Liyuan didn't want to pay any attention to this noisy person and just pretended he didn't hear anything.

He Bai was not a perceptive person, "You didn't say anything, which proves that you agreed! Hehe!"

Wang Yi took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat He Bai to death, took out the night pearl and turned to go into the dark room. Out of sight, out of mind!

There were all kinds of medicinal herbs on the shelves in the dark room, and only a small box in a corner. Wang Yi opened the box and found a silk handkerchief and several pulse charts inside.

Wang Yi presented these items to Yan Liyuan and unfolded the silk handkerchief. The pulse record recorded the recent physical condition of Concubine Shu in detail, and a seven-tailed phoenix was embroidered with gold thread on one corner of the silk handkerchief.

It is indeed Concubine Shu’s silk handkerchief!

He Bai didn't care who the handkerchief belonged to. Seeing that there was no mechanism in the secret room, he tried to strip Li Sheng's outer robe.

Li Sheng didn't understand what was going on and thought He Bai had some kind of hobby. He was so scared that he clutched his clothes tightly.

Seeing that Li Sheng still dared to resist, He Bai pressed on Li Sheng's injured arm, causing Li Sheng to scream in pain. He Bai then proudly stripped off Li Sheng's outer robe and went to the dark room.

He is indeed a medical saint! Looking at the room full of rare medicinal herbs, He Bai's eyes were wide open! He quickly spread his outer robe on the ground and placed all the medicinal herbs on it.

Li Sheng saw that the medicinal herbs he had worked so hard to collect for so many years were snatched away by others. He felt so sad! "Nine thousand years old, that commoner..."

Yan Liyuan signaled Wang Yi to put away the evidence, "This governor said he would spare your life, and he will never break his promise! Come, take him to Qiansui Mansion and protect him well."

When Li Sheng heard that his life was saved, he kowtowed happily, "Thank you, my Lord! Thank you, my Lord!"

"Wait!" He Bai walked out of the dark room dragging his robe, "Go and get rid of the poisonous miasma!"

Li Sheng paused for a moment, "To be honest, there is no way for ordinary people to cure the poisonous miasma..."

"Why?"

"The poisonous miasma comes from a pool of black water in this valley. The black water is very spiritual. It is fed with fresh blood every month, and the black water will continuously emit poisonous miasma..." Li Sheng's words made He Bai frown. He had never heard of such a statement.

Seeing that He Bai didn't believe him, Li Sheng pointed to a place in the valley and said, "The black pool of water is over there. Nine Thousand Year Old Man, please send someone to take a look!"

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and Yan Liyuan led his men to the direction of the black pool of water. Before they got close, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

He Bai was a dishonest person. As soon as he smelled the smell, he ran to the edge of the black pool.

The reason why it is called the Black Pool Water is because the water is extremely black. He Bai was about to scoop out a handful of water to study it carefully when he saw Wang Yi holding a branch and putting it into the Black Pool Water. The originally calm Black Pool Water immediately became smoky and the branch was also burned black.

He Bai was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand, "What the hell is this?"

He Bai refused to believe it, so he bit Wang Yi's finger hard and dripped a few drops of blood into the black pool of water.

Wang Yi looked up at the sky and silently recited the Great Compassion Mantra in his heart... He really wanted to beat this bastard to death!
