Feng Mian stood in front of Yue Lingyin and said, "How dare you! This is the Empress Dowager."
Nangong Xuemo was stunned by the word "Empress Dowager," "Are you the Empress Dowager?"
Yue Lingyin already had what she wanted, so she didn't care about his feelings at all and frankly admitted, "Yes, I am the Queen Mother."
Nangong Xuemo's heart was broken into eight pieces. No wonder no one could get any news about her. It turned out that she was hiding within the palace walls.
He was dejected and said, "I have failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
Yue Lingyin said generously, "I forgive you."
Nangong Xuemo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and felt a little less depressed.
How could she be the Queen Mother? She was clearly a little girl who hadn't grown up yet.
After watching the two leave, Nangong Xuemo turned around and went to the Dali Temple to find Qiu Xiangnan.
When he saw Qiu Xiangnan, Nangong Xuemo was shocked by his miserable condition. After learning what had happened, he looked sympathetic.
"I told you to let her go but you didn't listen, and now you've hurt yourself."
He poured a bottle of medicinal wine on Qiu Xiangnan. Qiu Xiangnan's lips turned white in pain and he wanted to curl up into a ball.
He growled, "You're going to kill me for spreading so much?"
Nangong Xuemo sneered: "You asked for this. You were so arrogant just now, why are you not moving now?"
Qiu Xiangnan fell silent. He had never expected that a queen dowager could emerge from a dry well in the wilderness. Moreover, she was alone without any followers and could not even call herself queen. She was beautiful but looked like someone who was easy to bully. No matter how you looked at her, she had nothing to do with the queen dowager.
Before he had time to check, people from the palace came to his door, and he didn't deserve the beating.
Every failure makes you wiser, Qiu Xiangnan thought, just consider it a lesson.
He touched the wound on his head and smiled bitterly. She really had meant to kill him.

Chen Qingchen waited for Yue Lingyin for another night. On the way back from court, he happened to meet Yue Lingyin and Feng Mian walking side by side. There was a moment of gloom in his eyes, but he did not show it in public.
Feng Mian is the emperor's person. If the emperor finds out... he is not afraid, but her life in the palace will probably be difficult.
Shen Qingchen lowered the car curtain. No matter what, as long as she was okay.
Yue Lingyin ate something outside and returned to Qinghan Palace to see Dong Lizheng with a gloomy face. Dong Lizheng saw that her clothes were stained with mud and there were spots of blood on her body. His face became even uglier and he questioned her harshly.
"What on earth did you do outside to make you look like this?"
Yue Lingyin was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by doing something? I just fell into a well and happened to encounter a murder case, so I went to the Dali Temple for a visit."
Dong Lizheng called Feng Mian over and questioned her. After confirming that she was not lying, he said, "Forget it. I allow you to go to Qingquan Palace to clean yourself up."
"Really?" Yue Lingyin tested: "Will you punish me?"
"Punishment?" Dong Lizheng didn't react.
Yue Lingyin said seriously, "Just like last time."
Last time? Dong Lizheng thought of the fragrant and beautiful scene in Qingquan Palace and coughed lightly: "No."
Yue Lingyin went to Qingquan Palace happily. This time the emperor agreed, so she had to spend more time there.
In the end, she did soak more, but she wasn't the only one soaking.
She complained: "You didn't keep your word. You said you wouldn't punish me."
Dong Lizheng bit her lips and said, "This is not a punishment, this is a fun game."
Yue Lingyin angrily scratched his back a few times, and his slender wrists were pressed above his head.
Dong Lizheng narrowed his narrow eyes: "It seems that you are still not honest."
Yue Lingyin was in a daze and finally fainted due to exhaustion.
………………
When she woke up again, Yue Lingyin found that she couldn't get out.
Dong Lizheng added a lot of guards to Qinghan Palace, which was a disguised way of putting her under house arrest, so she could no longer climb over the wall.
Yue Lingyin was very anxious, as the second round would be coming soon. She wanted to be a master thief!
The person leading the team was Feng Mian. Yue Lingyin pulled his sleeve, her eyes full of pleading and begging. Her voice was soft and sticky as if she was acting coquettishly. Her gentle and graceful voice seemed to be able to drip water.
"Feng Mian, can you please let me out?"
This soft tone is like acting coquettishly, which makes people feel pity and love.
Feng Mianjun blushed, "Your Majesty won't let you go out."
Yue Lingyin: "Then will you let me out?"
"This..." Feng Mian was embarrassed: "I can't take risks with my brothers' lives."
Yue Lingyin was so angry that her eyes turned red. Her pupils, which were originally as clear as water, were now covered by a layer of mist, as if covered with a layer of gauze, hiding the endless mist and rain of Jiangnan, making it difficult for people to be cruel.
"I don't want to stay in the palace. The emperor bullies me and bites me."
Feng Mian was shocked. He knew a little about the emperor's recent absurdity, but hearing it in person was still a little hard to accept. Yue Lingyin was the empress dowager, how could the emperor...
Eat the emperor's food and be loyal to him.
Feng Mian is caught between duty on one side and selfishness on the other. He finds it difficult to make a decision.
That night, he was tormented all night long, listening to the intermittent sounds coming from Qinghan Palace.
The next morning at court, Shen Qingchen brought the lost official silver to the court.
The emperor was delighted and said, "In addition to Mr. Chen, Qiu Xiangnan, the Left Secretary of the Dali Temple, deserves a reward for his contribution in recovering the official silver. I remember that the position of Left Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple is vacant, so Qiu Xiangnan will fill it."
The Dali Temple was incredibly efficient in handling cases. The case related to Yue Lingyin was solved in just half a day.
Qiu Xiangnan dragged his sick body to find flaws in the few words of the deceased's wife, and unraveled the clues.
With the encouragement of Shen Qingchen, the Dali Temple successfully found the official silver, arrested a group of people, and issued arrest warrants to those who fled.
