The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 93 Where is the Fire?

Quan Qingcheng personally invited Queen Mother Li, and this time Wu Fei also came along.

Queen Mother Li felt extremely ashamed because Quan Qingcheng and Wu Fei followed her on both sides like prisoners.

But she had no way to resist. Quan Qingcheng's words "The Emperor has the order" were enough to suppress all her aura.

This was her most vulnerable moment, because she no longer had any support in the palace, and the regent Quan Ji, whom she relied on, was not qualified to live in the palace, so she was isolated and helpless.

Baochan followed silently behind. It was her first time going up the stone steps of Yanhua Palace. She was very nervous, but she couldn't show her timidity as she had to save face for the Empress Dowager.

The 199 stone steps were not easy to walk up, and when she finally reached the top of the mountain, Empress Dowager Li was so tired that she could hardly breathe.

The Yanhua Palace was right in front of him. Quan Qingcheng stopped and saluted towards Empress Dowager Li: "The Emperor has ordered that your mother kneel down."

Empress Dowager Li had heard this before she was invited. Without saying a word, she knelt down facing the hall.

But he knelt down, but his heart was uneasy and his mind was full of random thoughts.

She really didn't understand why the Emperor asked her to kneel here in the middle of the night. When he was in a bad mood, he dug up the Empress Dowager and made her kneel in the palace. She had never heard of the Emperor having this problem before. What was the reason?

Baochan didn't know why, so she could only kneel with the empress dowager. While kneeling, she carefully looked inside the Yanhua Palace, but the hall seemed to be blocked by a layer of water curtain. She could only see the rippling waves and could not see the scene inside clearly at all.

Queen Mother Li looked around and saw Lian Shi, Wu Fei, Quan Qingcheng, and Yun Chen who came later. She was not surprised by these people. The only thing that surprised her was why there was a strange girl? She was not dressed like a palace maid, but like a maid in the inner city mansion.

Bu Shou frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Zhuier leaned forward towards her and replied stiffly, "I am a maid in the First-Rank General's Mansion, following the Fourth Young Lady." After saying that, she felt that such a simple introduction could not fully express her emotions, nor could it leave a deep impression on the Empress Dowager, so she added, "It was the Fourth Young Lady Ye who was stabbed to death by the Sixth Prince in the Prince Su's Mansion."

The veins on Empress Dowager Li's forehead jumped several times. For a moment, she wanted to call for someone to execute this slave. But she didn't dare to do it in the end, because she was in Yanhua Palace at the moment, and because Ye Wenyan was the only hope to cure her son. She had to endure it, and wait until Ye Wenyan's anger subsided before begging for help, putting aside her face, giving her whatever she wanted, just asking Ye Wenyan to cure her son.

She took a deep breath and swallowed the matter of Zhuier. But she still asked a question: "That Ye Wenyan is also here?" Lian Shi frowned: "Please be careful with your words, Queen Mother. Miss Ye Si is Miss Ye Si. What do you mean by that Ye Wenyan? Don't blame me for being nosy. I just want to remind you that the Emperor has a bad temper. Miss Ye Si was injured tonight, and I don't know who did it. I am talking to the Emperor in Yanhua Palace now, and the Emperor is also angry about this. If you accidentally bump into the Emperor at this moment, then..."

He didn't say anything more, and Queen Mother Li didn't need him to say anything more. As the former Queen and now Queen Mother, how could she not know what kind of temper the Emperor had? It couldn't be called temper at all, it should be said that it was a kind of character that was born with him. No one should provoke him, and everyone would live in peace. But if someone provokes him without any eyes, it would not be a matter of one person having a nightmare, but the whole family would have to suffer together.

The Emperor was angry and executed all nine clans. This was known to everyone in Northern Qi.

Empress Dowager Li didn't dare to speak rudely anymore, but there were some things she couldn't keep in her heart, so she softened her tone and said to Lian Shi, "Is Fourth Miss Ye injured? But what does this have to do with me? Why did you let me kneel here? You don't think I did it, do you?" She looked horrified, "I didn't do anything!"

Lian Shi smiled, "It's hard for me to say, but no matter whether you did it or not, if the Emperor asked you to come, could you say no? If the Emperor asked you to kneel, could you say no?"

Empress Dowager Li gritted her teeth and wanted to defend herself again, but she said, "I'll remind you again that this place is not very soundproof. If you say too much and the Emperor hears everything you say, that would be bad."

Empress Dowager Li swallowed back all the words. Even though she was very unwilling, she did not dare to take any risks in front of the Emperor.

But Ye Wenyan was injured? And we still don't know who did it? What does this mean? Assassination? Who is so bold as to do such a thing? And who has such a deep hatred for Ye Wenyan?

Being able to force her to go directly to the palace and seek refuge in Yanhua Palace at this hour meant that she was seriously injured, and serious injuries meant that the opponent was very powerful. If it was a killer, he should be a top killer, and it would be very expensive to hire him.

The more Empress Dowager Li thought about it, the more disappointed she became, because she thought of a key point.

The Emperor called her here to kneel in the middle of the night. It was impossible that he was just in a bad mood. If he wasn't in a bad mood, there must be other reasons. Her son was definitely one of the people who could afford to hire a top assassin. Her son was definitely one of the people who had a deep hatred for Ye Wenyan. Could it be that Lu'er did it?

Queen Mother Li shivered uncontrollably. If it was Lu'er who did it, how could this matter be resolved? Also, why did Ye Wenyan come to seek refuge with the Emperor when she was injured? Why was the Emperor angry? And why did he support her so much?

It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!

In the Yanhua Palace, Ye Wenyan was already able to sit up and lean on the cushion of the jade chair, but he still felt weak and lazy.

She asked Shi Liyuan: "What time is it now? Why hasn't it been midnight yet? I feel really uncomfortable like this."

Shi Liyuan had just come back from the back hall, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand. "Can we recover immediately after midnight? The midnight you mentioned should be half past midnight, right?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Yes, at midnight, the moment when the fifteenth and sixteenth days of the twelfth lunar month meet."

"That still requires waiting. It is not yet the end of the Hai Hour."

She was a little frustrated. "It's true that man proposes, God disposes. I thought I would just stay in the house and sleep all day on the 15th. But I didn't expect the Ye family to go out of the city to burn incense, and get up early and go to bed late. Why is my life so miserable?"

Shi Liyuan sat next to her. Ye Wenyan wanted to take the bowl of noodles, but he didn't let her. He just picked up the noodles one by one and fed them to her with his hands.

"From now on, I will pick you up at Yanhua Palace on the 15th of every month. If you have to go out for something, I will accompany you. Eat slowly and be careful of the heat. If it's not enough, I will cook another bowl later."

"That's enough. I don't have the energy to eat more. If you're not sleepy after midnight, cook me another bowl and I'll enjoy it."

He frowned, "I'm not sleepy, but you need some sleep."

"I'll sleep after I finish eating." She winked at him with a malicious look on her face, "Does your Yanhua Palace have a place for me to sleep?"

He nodded, "Yanhua Palace is very big, with many side halls, you can live in whichever one you like."

"I just like your room." She said honestly, "Master Liyuan, are you sure you want to leave me alone in the side hall?"

He had a bad feeling, "What do you want to do?"

"I didn't plan to do anything. I just wanted to ask you to sit next to me when I fall asleep if you are not sleepy. I like the smell of your agarwood, which can help me sleep soundly."

He nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"You always say you listen to me, but I don't know to what extent you can listen, let alone whether my decisions are all correct. Shi Liyuan, you have lived longer than me. You should be the one guiding me on our future path, and I should be the one listening to you."

He laughed at what he heard. "You listen to me? Can you listen to me? If you listen to me, come with me to Lin'an City now. No matter whether it is Prince Su's Mansion or the General's Mansion, I will go and ask them in person who is wronging you. Do you listen?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Don't listen. I've said before that I don't want to pull you down from the altar. You should be high up, sitting in Yanhua Palace waiting for them to worship you every day. Why do you reveal your true self and walk in front of those mortals? They are not worthy, and you will be insulted if you go there."

“But I always sit in Yanhua Palace, and they will bully you.”

"Believe it or not, even if you go, they will still bully me. Unless you stay with me for twelve hours a day and don't give them any chances, they will not give up."

"As long as the heart is alive, it's fine as long as the person dies." He said very calmly, "Only when the person dies can the heart die. Although I haven't stained myself with blood in the past few hundred years, when the spiritual power of heaven and earth was still there, I killed countless people. It doesn't matter if I add a few more."

"How boring, killing people all the time, is it fun if they are dead?" She took a sip of soup from the bowl he was holding, "Master Liyuan, I told you that I still have to find out the truth about the death of my grandfather and father, and I have to go to Quan Qinglu from time to time to vent my anger, so don't kill them all too early. After I have found out what I need to find out and have avenged what I need to avenge, you can do whatever you want to those people. Even if you kill them all, I will only help you dig pits and bury them. Okay?"

She looked up at him, her little face smiling, "So handsome, the most handsome in the world."

He was helpless, "Eating won't stop you from eating." He looked at the bowl of noodles and saw that half of it was left. He held her hand and pushed it to her, "Hold it first, I'll be back soon."

Outside the Yanhua Palace, Quan Qingcheng stood there bored. He walked to the side and looked towards Lin'an City from the height of the mountain.

The mountain of Yanhua Palace is the highest point in Lin'an City. From here, he can see almost half of the inner city.

The night in Lin'an city was exceptionally quiet. The snow had stopped falling a long time ago. The sky cleared up after the snow and a full moon emerged from the clouds, illuminating the world.

But he soon discovered something was wrong. It seemed that suddenly, a ball of fire burst out from a certain place...
