    Chapter Index

    Yan Zhaozhao specially carried the guard of honor back to Fengyi Palace, in order to let everyone in the palace know that she had returned in an upright manner, and that she was still the queen of the middle palace, so as to avoid any rumors about her in the future.

    After Bi Luo got the news, she waited early on the palace road outside Fengyi Palace.When she saw that Yan Zhaozhao was really safe and sound, she felt her eyes heat up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother-in-law get off the ceremony.”Mother, you have suffered.” When she touched Yan Zhaozhao’s arm, which was even slender than before, she felt a little bitter in her heart.

    Yan Zhaozhao had no words, and only raised her hand to pat the back of Bi Luo’s hand to express comfort. Immediately, the master and servant entered the Fengyi Palace together.

    Yan Zhaozhao was sitting on the main seat in the palace. She winked at Bi Luo without leaving any trace. Bi Luo understood instantly and turned away the maids serving in the palace. Then Bi Luo looked around and saw no one was around before closing the door of the palace.

    “Your Majesty, you are finally back, but I’m so worried about you!” She lay on Yan Zhaozhao’s knees, squeezing her legs with both hands, and couldn’t hide the distress in her eyes.

    “Don’t worry. I’m safe and sound. I’m afraid someone in this palace will be unhappy.” Yan Zhaozhao told Biluo about the assassination in the forest that day. When he heard that there was a tiger in the forest, his body trembled for a moment. He was obviously frightened by this dangerous moment.

    “This man is so vicious that he actually used such interlocking strategies to bring about the death of the queen. Fortunately, that day…” Bi Luo seemed to think of something, and her voice couldn’t help but become softer when she mentioned Xie Ciyan, “Fortunately, the regent saved me, otherwise the queen…”

    “Well, now that I’m back, I won’t let those people harm me again.” She suddenly remembered the emperor and Yan Zhiyi’s closeness, as if they were no one else, and she became suspicious, “What happened in the palace after I disappeared?”

    Almost without thinking, Bi Luo recounted everything that happened after Yan Zhaozhao disappeared that day.

    After the hunting that day, the emperor and Yan Zhiyi were the first to return to the starting point. The emperor ordered people to roast the hunted sheep, hoping to enjoy it with his ministers.But the courtiers and ladies came back one after another, except for the queen and the regent. Gradually, the courtiers couldn’t sit still. They were worried that the queen and regent were in danger, so they asked the emperor to send the imperial army to look for them.But the emperor did not panic at all, and asked the courtiers to be calm and wait quietly.

    But as dusk approached, the queen and regent were still nowhere to be seen, and the courtiers could no longer sit still.There were even vague rumors that the queen and the regent had an affair and eloped through hunting.The emperor then sent the Imperial Guard into the forest to look for them, but there was no trace of the two of them. Instead, they found traces of a tiger that had appeared.

    The imperial army went to report back to the emperor, but he did not show the slightest worry. Instead, he heard a tiger roaming nearby, so he quickly ordered people to prepare to return to the palace to prevent the tiger from hurting anyone.From beginning to end, he never asked about the queen and regent, and he didn’t even care about their life or death.

    After returning to the palace, the emperor often did not go to court. It seemed that without the regent to control him, he became as arbitrary as he wanted.He levied taxes arbitrarily and planned to build a palace outside the palace.A group of ministers tried to stop him, but the emperor refused to listen. He even ordered several bachelors to be killed with a stick, which made everyone in the court feel in danger. However, Kegong’s move was absolutely forbidden to be carried out.

    Seeing that the courtiers were obstructing him in every possible way, the emperor simply stopped going to court and stayed in Guanju Palace day and night to show his prostitution.The courtiers knew that the emperor was putting pressure on them. As long as they did not agree to build the palace, the emperor would not go to court. By then, the poor people would still suffer.At this time, all the courtiers hoped that the regent would come back as soon as possible, believing that only he could stop the emperor’s absurd behavior.

    However, he never expected that at this time, the emperor issued an order saying that there must be no shortage of people to manage the harem. If there was no news from the queen within a month, she would be buried in the concubine’s mausoleum.Although the emperor said he would wait for a month, secretly and openly he was already preparing for the queen’s appointment. Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs was rushing to make the queen’s auspicious uniform. When the time came, he would issue an order to make Yan Zhiyi the queen.

    Now, Yan Zhaozhao’s return to the palace has completely interrupted the emperor’s plan to establish a new queen. Her situation in the palace will probably be even more difficult in the future.

    “You just said that the emperor often stays in Guanju Palace?”

    When mentioning this matter, Bi Luo’s face became even more ugly, “Not only often, the emperor stays in Guanju Palace every day, but now he only loves Chun Bin.” She couldn’t stand Yan Zhiyi’s words and deeds that pretended to be weak, and couldn’t help but muttered, “I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into the emperor, which made the emperor’s temperament change so drastically.”

    Bi Luo’s words made Yan Zhaozhao fall into deep thought. She was right. What exactly made the always romantic and dissolute emperor change his temperament.The emperor’s debauchery was not developed after being dazzled by beauty after he ascended the throne, but was already like this when he was a prince. However, the late emperor was still alive at that time, so he did not dare to be too obvious and displease the late emperor.It is undoubtedly a fantasy for Yan Zhaozhao to believe that such a romantic person would give up his other ambitions for a woman.

    Thinking about the fact that after her disappearance, the emperor favored Yan Zhiyan as his new wife, she became even more suspicious of Yan Zhiyi.In terms of motivation, the only person who could benefit greatly from her death was Yan Zhiyi. But on that day, she clearly followed the emperor on horseback to the woods of the men’s family. How could she have time to arrange all the interlocking things?

    She always felt that there must be something extremely important missing, but now she had no clue.

    But now, the Queen Mother’s suspicion of her has not completely dissipated. It will not be possible to completely eliminate the Queen Mother’s suspicion and gain her trust overnight.Yan Zhaozhao seemed to be able to feel Xie Ciyan’s sense of isolation and helplessness. Has he been walking so hard step by step until now?

    She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn’t help but think of the man in Xuanyi again.

    They haven’t seen each other for nearly a month.

    Since that day when they parted ways in the inn, Xie Ciyan and her parted ways.She and Huo Sui took a carriage all the way back to the palace, but he had to visit an old friend before setting off back to the palace.Now, Huo Sui was also kept in the palace by the emperor, with the euphemistic name of catching up with friends he hadn’t seen for a long time. But everyone knew that the emperor and Huo Sui had long lost the sincere friendship they had when they were young. Now there was nothing more than testing and precaution between the emperor and his ministers, and there was no more sincerity at all.

    Bi Luo knew that her concubine was rescued by the regent, but she did not come back to the palace with her. She couldn’t help but wonder, “My concubine, will the regent… return to the palace?”

    Yan Zhaozhao rubbed her sore neck, a trace of tiredness appeared between her brows and eyes, but her eyes still couldn’t help but light up when she heard Xie Ciyan, “Of course I will.”

    Thanks to him… he will probably be back soon.

    She missed him…
