Chapter 128 Even if she exposes the truth, I will take care of it
Fengyang Palace.
When Qiuying mentioned Le Yue that day, Dongxu was very opposed. Dongxu was her dowry, so the queen naturally trusted her more than Qiuying.
But Dongxu was too cautious. She always told her not to do anything to Yueli, but the queen could not sit still. If she did not take the initiative, she would die silently in the palace like Shen and Rong.
You can't think about He Yanchen with ordinary people's thinking. He can do anything.
The Queen was still a little cautious and did not summon Le Yue rashly. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that she went to the palace today to treat the Queen Mother's headache, pretended to meet her by chance in Yanfu Palace, and then took advantage of the situation to bring her to Fengyang Palace.
"Is the Queen Mother okay?"
Le Yue looked unwell and was stunned for a moment before reacting. "The Empress Dowager has suffered from headaches for years. Elderly people often have these problems. The imperial physicians, out of consideration for the Empress Dowager's health, have only used medication to alleviate the pain. Le Yue supplemented this with acupuncture to alleviate the pain."
The Queen gently stroked the teacup in her hand and raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this: "It seems that the Saint's medical skills are truly amazing."
"Le Yue doesn't deserve it. I just learned some unconventional techniques."
"Saint, you are too modest." After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Queen changed the subject and said, "I have heard that Saint is proficient in witchcraft. I have also heard of Xijue's witchcraft a long time ago."
A trace of caution flashed in Le Yue's eyes: "Witchcraft is just an exaggeration."
The Queen dismissed everyone and stopped beating around the bush with her: "If the Saint can help me get rid of this person without anyone noticing, I will be happy to help you if you have any difficulties in the future."
Le Yue's pupils suddenly widened: "Your Majesty...Who does Your Majesty want to get rid of?"
The Queen didn't say anything, but only asked, "Is it possible for the Saint's witchcraft to leave no trace?"
Le Yue's chest was shaking. If the Queen was willing to protect her, as long as she stayed in the palace before Wanyan Cong left the capital, then no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to come to the palace and kidnap her.
But witchcraft is ultimately about deceiving people. How can you use witchcraft to get rid of people?
Le Yue's mind was full of thoughts, and suddenly, she thought of something, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
"Empress, witchcraft is just a method used by the Xijue people for divination. If you want to get rid of someone without anyone noticing, and without the imperial doctors being able to find a reason, you can use poison."
"Poison?" The queen had only seen poison in books. Southern Xinjiang, which was good at making poison, had been destroyed in the previous dynasty. For so many years, poison was just a legend.
"Are you confident?"
Le Yue smiled. "It takes half a month to make a Gu. As long as I can get close to that person, I will be able to get the Gu into her body. The Gu will silently devour her internal organs, and her death will be just like natural aging. No problems can be found."
The Queen was filled with excitement, and she barely suppressed the upward curl of her lips: "As long as the Saint can help me get rid of the Imperial Concubine, I will reward you handsomely."
Imperial Concubine?
Le Yue's heart skipped a beat. To be honest, she had thought of seducing His Majesty so that she could gain a foothold in the palace. But since then, the time it took for the antidote to be delivered by the emperor became longer and longer, and every time she was in excruciating pain, she knew then that He Yanchen really had no sympathy for her.
Fortunately, she got in touch with the empress dowager and no longer had to dream of becoming a concubine.
"The Imperial Concubine is deeply favored by His Majesty, Le Yue is worried..."
The Queen interrupted her: "If she were not so deeply favored by Your Majesty, I would never have thought of getting rid of her."
"As long as the Saint Lady helps me, you can tell me anything you want."
Le Yue thought for a long time, and the Queen did not rush her. Finally, she stood up and said, "As long as the Queen allows the Western Jue envoy to leave the palace, Le Yue can live in the palace and send someone to protect Le Yue's safety, then Le Yue is willing to help the Queen."
"no problem."
The two smiled at each other, but didn't notice that the glazed tiles above their heads moved.

Half a month passed quickly, the winter cold dissipated, and the warm sun of early spring shone on the earth.
As the weather gradually got warmer, Yueli no longer stayed in the house all day, but went out for a walk every day.
Today she was walking along the lotus pond when she heard bursts of laughter coming from the front.
"What's going on up front?"
Lian Qiao went to inquire about it and came back quite indignantly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother held a flower viewing banquet today and invited the royal family and the ladies of the court."
Yue Li frowned. The Queen didn't even put on a show now. Although she didn't like to join in the fun at such a flower-viewing banquet, the Queen had never informed her. It seemed that she was really angry that day.
Yueli snorted softly and turned to leave.
She was too lazy to see the Queen.
But before she took a step, many people in the pavilion noticed her.
Yue Li is now a popular imperial concubine. When the ladies see her, they naturally dare not pretend to ignore her and they all stand up and come towards her.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
The queen also saw those people rushing to flatter her, and she sneered and said nothing more.
As soon as Yueli arrived, the trend of the flower viewing banquet changed immediately.
She was surrounded like a star, with wave after wave of people coming up to compliment her. They knew what to say to her just by looking at her.
As a result, the queen's expression became uglier and uglier, and the smile shifted to Yueli's face.
Seeing the queen's gloomy face, Yue Li suddenly changed her mind and walked towards the queen.
But before she could walk over, a man came out from the side path and blocked her way.
"Le Yue pays homage to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Yue Li looked over and found that it was the Western Jue Saint Le Yue.
As soon as she saw her, Yue Li remembered some bad things, her face turned cold and she ignored her.
"I haven't seen the Imperial Concubine for a long time. I wonder how she is doing these days?" Le Yue tried to get closer to Yue Li in a familiar manner. Yue Li frowned in disgust, but before she could say anything, Le Yue's body suddenly shook.
Then she covered her chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah!" someone screamed in the pavilion.
The queen also stood up in shock. She looked at Le Yue's fallen body and didn't react for a moment. It was Dong Xu who shouted at the top of her voice: "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
Lian Qiao stood in front of Yue Li, and Yue Li looked at Le Yue's still twitching body in surprise.
This...what is going on?

Linde Hall.
Ji Ming hurried into the hall: "Your Majesty, something happened!"
He Yanchen didn't even raise his head and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Saint Le Yue died suddenly of vomiting blood at the flower viewing banquet."
He Yanchen then put down his pen, his eyes expression unchanged, and listened to Ji Ming anxiously say: "Before the Saint Girl died, she was talking to the Imperial Noble Consort. Now there are rumors in the palace that the Imperial Noble Consort..."
"The Western Jue envoys have not yet left the capital. Such rumors may damage the friendship between the two countries."
He Yanchen stood up, brushed off his clothes, and walked out, sneering, "She's just a saint girl. What does Xijue want?"
"Even if she makes a big fuss, I will take the responsibility."
