Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

"You want to die?"

As soon as Ye Chen saw the black pill, he almost instantly guessed that Qian Jie wanted to commit suicide.

There was a fierce look in his eyes, and he chopped down with his knife.

"what!"

Qian Jie screamed in pain.

"Think you can die that easily? Dream on!"

Ye Chen struck again.

"Wait, wait, I'll tell you what I'm going to say! I'll tell you whatever you ask, don't cut me."

Qian Jie was on the verge of collapse. He could have taken medicine to commit suicide, but now that the poison had been sprayed out, he couldn't even commit suicide.

Although he was a desperate criminal, the severe pain in his body was too much for him to bear when facing Ye Chen who kept slashing him with a knife.

"I don't want to hear it anymore."

Ye Chen chopped Qian Jie into a bloody man with one blow after another, and finally gave him a blow on the head. His methods were extremely ruthless.

Qian Jie was in such a miserable state that everyone who saw him was horrified.

At this moment, Ye Chen's murderous aura made others dare not look directly at him.

After killing Qian Jie, Ye Chen threw down the knife and turned to stand in front of Qin Man.

"Mian'er, turn your back."

Ye Chen's tone suddenly became gentle.

Qin Man turned around obediently.

"You can open your eyes now."

Hearing this, Qin Man opened her eyes, and Ye Chen put his arm around Qin Man's shoulders.

"Let's go, Meng'er. I'll take you back to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion."

Ye Chen said into Qin Man's ear.

Qin Man only felt a slight itch at the base of her ears, and this itch quickly penetrated into her bones.

"Okay, I'll listen to your majesty."

Qin Man nodded slightly, feeling her body a little soft. As attentive as she was, she could already smell the blood, but she did not look back. She knew that Ye Chen was protecting her, and she only felt gratitude in her heart.

After Ye Chen called for a carriage and asked Qin Man to get on, Ye Chen turned to Shen Qiu and asked, "Did any of those assassins escape?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Our men have blocked every place. None of the assassins escaped."

"Well, conduct a thorough investigation for me. Even if we dig three feet deep, we won't let a single assassin live!"

Ye Chen has issued a kill order.

"Yes!"

"Also, all the Imperial Guards who died in this battle will receive double the compensation!"

Ye Chen said again.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu nodded vigorously, her pretty eyes lighting up slightly. These imperial guards who died for Ye Chen were all Su Mengjiao's confidants from the northern border, and they were also her colleagues. Ye Chen's generous compensation to the deceased also made her feel satisfied.

After Ye Chen got on the carriage, Shen Qiu immediately went to pass on the message and then got on the carriage as well.

The carriage then passed through the blood-stained streets and headed towards the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, is the journey back to the palace safe?"

Qin Man asked with lingering fear.

"Don't worry. With the Imperial Guards blocking the surrounding streets, the news of the assassination attempt's success or failure has definitely not leaked out yet. Naturally, the other party won't send a second group of assassins."

Ye Chen patted Qin Man's hand and said in a calm tone.

Although his words contained some comfort, after all, who knows whether those powerful officials have prepared for a second wave of assassinations.

However, with the imperial guards around, Ye Chen was not too worried. Shen Qiu had also arranged two carriages to go ahead and continue to create confusion.

The carriage arrived at the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion smoothly.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards are limited in number after all. The Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion has 600 men, ready to be deployed at your command at any time."

Before getting out of the car, Qin Man said to Ye Chen.

"I know that when I leave the palace, I will ask Qiu'er to transfer some people from the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. The assassination attempt he encountered today also made him realize that bringing only one or two hundred people was still not enough.

Although the people in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion are not as well-trained as the imperial guards, they should be enough to deal with those assassins.

"Your Majesty, I will come to the palace again tomorrow."

"Well, Meng'er, have a good rest today. I will wait for you in the palace tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded. Seeing Qin Man's graceful figure as she got off the carriage, he felt a little reluctant.

But then he looked at Shen Qiu with a serious expression.

"Qiu'er, answer me honestly, where exactly did you get injured?"

Ye Chen's eyes were bright and his tone was full of concern.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to care about him so much.

"Your Majesty, I am fine, just a minor injury."

Shen Qiu shook his head.

"Qiu'er, sometimes minor illnesses can accumulate and become serious illnesses if left untreated. The same goes for minor injuries."

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was somewhat moved, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I just used too much force, and my wrist is a little swollen."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Qiu's martial arts skills are indeed the best in the North. After fighting all the way, his wrist was only swollen. Even though his white shirt was stained with blood, he had no real injuries.

"Qiu'er, your wrist is the key to exerting force, so don't be careless. Hurry and show it to me."

Ye Chen said with a very sincere expression.

"Your Majesty, it's really not necessary."

Shen Qiu's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said.

"How can I not use it? Qiu'er, if this hurts your bones and muscles, you may not be able to fully recover in the future if you don't take good care of it. I happen to have a method to reduce swelling. I used this method to treat Meng'er before, and even the imperial physician praised it highly. Quickly give me your hand, let me take a look."

Ye Chen said immediately.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu fell silent.

As the commander of the imperial guards, she naturally knew everything that happened in the palace.

She had also heard the praises the old doctor had given Qin Man after examining her feet.

Since Ye Chen had such a famous doctor by his side, she naturally wanted to investigate secretly, but she never got any results. She had already guessed that Qin Man's foot might have been treated by Ye Chen.

Now hearing Ye Chen say this, her guess was confirmed.

"Your Majesty, is this really just a cure?"

Shen Qiu bit his lip and asked.

"Of course it's true. I never lie."

Shen Qiu was silent for a moment, and finally reached out his hand.

Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately held Shen Qiu's hand, but felt that the skin of his hand was smooth and bony. He checked and found that Shen Qiu's wrist was swollen.

"Come here, find some rice wine!"

Ye Chen hurried out of the carriage.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was a little surprised and puzzled, but did not ask any more questions.

It was already late at night, but many hotels in the capital were still open, and soon the imperial guards delivered rice wine.

Ye Chen got some rice wine and poured it on Shen Qiu's wrist.

Shen Qiu frowned slightly, his hands trembled slightly, but he only felt a coolness in the swollen area, which was quite irritated.

"Qiu'er, don't move."

Ye Chen stared at the red and swollen area of ​​Shen Qiu and observed it carefully.

"Your Majesty, will a little wine be enough?"

Shen Qiu was a little surprised and couldn't help asking.

The yellow wine poured on her wrist made her feel a little cool, and the burning pain in her wrist was relieved a little.

"It's not enough yet, it's just the beginning."

Ye Chen shook his head, then reached out and gently pressed on the swollen part of Shen Qiu.

"Ok?"

Shen Qiu frowned slightly.

"It will be a little painful at first, but the swelling will go away soon. Just bear with it."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he began to press and rub his palms rhythmically with force.
