The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

Royal study room.

The empress listened to Duan Zhenggang's report with a pair of cold eyes.

After explaining the acquaintance's speculation about the Tenth Realm combat demon, Duan Zhenggang bowed.

"Your Majesty, I have already ascertained that General Fan holds a high position, and all his acquaintances who could have gotten him out of the palace have alibis today!"

"General Fan hasn't made enemies with anyone recently."

"Zhuangyuanlou said that the private room General Fan entered and exited was anonymous, and they didn't know who the customer was."

Now, how to find out the reason for Fan Yangqi's death has become a dead end.

The empress narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Qianxuan who was standing beside her: "Master Ye, do you have any ideas?"

Duan Zhenggang also looked at Ye Qianxuan, thinking that Ye Qianxuan's inference about the acquaintance had reached a dead end after finding out the situation, and it seemed that it could no longer be broken.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qianxuan said something shocking:

"Your Majesty, Admiral Duan."

"Acquaintances don't necessarily just mean people with whom you have a good relationship."

“For example, some partners can also be called acquaintances!”

Duan Zhenggang had extensive criminal investigation experience. Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up. He then immediately bowed to the empress and said, "Your Majesty, I will investigate immediately!"

Duan Zhenggang left, but Ye Qianxuan was still standing there.

"Is something wrong?"

The empress narrowed her eyes and gave a sly smile.

Ye Qianxuan thought to himself, you are such a sinister empress!

You deliberately didn't ask me to sew the corpse, and then let me beg you, right?

But who says she is the empress?

A high-ranking official can crush people to death, let alone an official who is higher than him by countless levels!

Ye Qianxuan now had something to ask of her, so he could only bow and say:

"Your Majesty, the last time I sewed up a corpse, I was poisoned by a demon. Now my meridians are blocked, and I can't mobilize my cultivation!"

"These are troubled times, and I have made many enemies. I beg Your Majesty to open up my meridians and eliminate the demonic poison!"

"I am deeply grateful!"

The empress nodded: "I have heard what the Jinyiwei said."

"Where did the purple talisman come from?"

"How come you have such a secret treasure, but I've never heard you mention it before?"

Ye Qianxuan was speechless.

Got it!

It turns out that he is waiting for me here!

"I once found this piece of paper while sewing up the remains of a Taoist priest at the foot of the Sword Qi Great Wall. I didn't think it was anything special at the time."

"If I knew that the purple talisman was so precious, I would have presented it to Your Majesty long ago!"

Wear it a thousand times, but never wear it!

It's always right to show loyalty.

"Ah."

At the foot of the Sword Energy Great Wall, there are indeed occasional corpses of powerful human beings who fought against the demon race.

It's not surprising to pick up some lost treasures.

After hearing Ye Qianxuan say that there was only one purple talisman, the empress didn't seem to want to ask any more questions. She slowly stood up and walked out of the imperial study with two palace maids holding her phoenix robe.

"Your Majesty, this demon poison of mine..."

Ye Qianxuan was stunned for a moment, thinking, he's leaving now?

The Empress can’t be so heartless!

"Follow me." The empress didn't even turn her head, but said in a cold voice.

"promise."

Ye Qianxuan was delighted and quickly followed.

"You two, go down." As they walked down the corridor, Empress An Luoyu suddenly dismissed the two palace maids and pointed at Ye Qianxuan with her bare hand: "Hold the phoenix robe for me."

"It's an honor for me!"

If you need help from others, you have to bow your head!

The empress walked in front, and Ye Qianxuan followed behind with his waist bent, holding the phoenix robe.

"The Tenth Realm Great Demon that the Imperial Household Chief is investigating, disguised as a female official from the Changnan Palace, approached you. Don't you have any thoughts?"

The Empress' voice sounded again.

"I don't have any idea." Ye Qianxuan said while holding up his phoenix robe, "The chief eunuch and the third princess are definitely unaware of this."

The empress nodded in appreciation: "You are right."

"The Third Princess said that He Xin was incompetent and offended me that day. She killed you the day you were abducted to Changnan Palace!"

"Who that Ten Realm Demon disguises himself as is none of her business!"

"At the same time, the Third Princess also accused my maid, Qingniao, of incompetence. When she raided the Minister of Rites' residence, she failed to completely eliminate the remaining evildoers, which led to the Seventh Realm Demon escaping and attacking you. She asked me to punish Qingniao!"

"The Grand Chamberlain is also taking this opportunity to bite you back."

"That Ten Realm Demon was clearly outside the palace, yet you claimed it was inside!"

"You are slandering the safety of the Imperial Palace, both openly and secretly. You deserve to be killed!"

Ye Qianxuan was silent. All this was expected.

The eunuch group will not let him go so easily.

The saddest thing now is that after the Qian Jianan incident, the civil service group will no longer be able to trust themselves.

That tactic can only be used once.

Now, I am attacked from all sides and can only rely on the military officer group of the empress.

Perhaps, this is exactly what this sinister empress wants.

"Let me see your usefulness."

The empress suddenly stopped.

Ye Qianxuan also stopped and raised his head slightly, looking at the empress who turned around and looked at her indifferent phoenix eyes:

"The Minister of the Imperial Guard is one of the three great generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

"Two of the three great generals are gone, leaving only Xia Ruoxi, who is useless!"

"The Military Officer Group is short of talent. You must thoroughly investigate the murderer behind this and show me your usefulness!"

"Otherwise, facing the relentless pressure from the eunuch group, I will have no choice but to sacrifice you as a pawn."

Ye Qianxuan understood.

Now the struggle among the three powers has reached a fever pitch.

The empress has no one around her, so she can only rely on herself.

And if the empress did not see her own usefulness, then she would not have gone to such great lengths to protect herself in the face of the crazy counterattacks of the eunuch group and the civil service group.

"Caomin understands!"

Ye Qianxuan bowed.

He can't get off the pirate ship of the Empress.

"come in."

After the empress finished speaking, she continued to walk forward.

Only then did Ye Qianxuan realize that he had followed the empress to Longchi Palace!

Although it was already the dead of winter and there was snow outside, the inside of Longchi Palace was filled with steam and the temperature was over 30 degrees!

A dozen stunning maids were busy here, wearing gauze clothes, their hair a little wet, and their clothes clinging to their bodies.

When they saw the empress come in, more than a dozen stunning maids immediately bowed and said:

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works sent us the reconstruction drawings and materials. We have already completed the transformation and are currently testing it."

No man is ever allowed to enter Longchi Palace, not even eunuchs!

Therefore, even if upgrades and renovations are required, it can only be done by palace maids, and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are not allowed to set foot in!

Therefore, when these dozen or so beautiful maids saw Ye Qianxuan following behind the empress, their expressions were all shocked!

The empress strolled among them, glanced around and said:

"Ye Qianxuan, your 'heating' is truly magical! It can actually emit such evenly distributed heat!"

"And this 'floor heating', even if you step on it barefoot, you don't feel the slightest bit of cold!"

"I just don't know what this jacuzzi is like."

The empress's words made these dozen or so beautiful palace maids suddenly realize what was going on!

It turns out that this person is the legendary leaf craftsman!

It was he who submitted the renovation drawings of Longchi Palace to the Ministry of Industry!

What a genius!

Today's Longchi Palace is warmer and more comfortable than before!

"As long as your Majesty likes it."

Ye Qianxuan bowed his head and bowed.

"Stand back."

Empress An Luoyu waved her hand and pointed at Ye Qianxuan:

"Come here and help me change my clothes and take a bath!"

More than a dozen stunning maids widened their eyes again!

Her Majesty not only asked a man to enter Longchi Palace, but she even asked this man to change her clothes and bathe her?!

You know, even if a eunuch had seen the empress just coming out of the bath, his eyes would be gouged out and his head would be chopped off!

This corpse tailor is truly blessed by God!

More than a dozen stunning maids retreated.

Ye Qianxuan stepped forward and gently changed the empress's clothes and bathed her.

Ye Qianxuan's heart was pounding!

Now his true energy was blocked, and there was no curse to sting and suppress his impulse!

If I look up and am discovered by the Empress, I will be killed without a burial place!

Therefore, Ye Qianxuan tried his best to suppress his impulse and kept repeating to himself: Second brother is asleep, second brother is asleep...

After much difficulty, he took off the empress's clothes and then entered the Dragon Pool.

The remodeled massage bathtub stirred the water constantly, making the empress feel very comfortable.

"Not bad! I'm very satisfied! This so-called 'massage bath' really makes people relax a lot!"

Ye Qianxuan bowed and said the same words: "As long as Your Majesty likes it."

"Yes." The empress glanced at Ye Qianxuan calmly: "Come in and bathe with me."

Ye Qianxuan: ???

This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate!
