In the Qingcheng Pavilion, Yue Meiren looked estranged, recalling what Kong Chenyang had just said.

After she asked Kong Chenyang what he was going to do, Kong Chenyang finally explained his purpose.

He wanted to poison the emperor secretly.

This matter was too shocking. She was so surprised that she had forgotten what she had said. She walked into Qingcheng Pavilion in a panic, leaving Kong Chenyang there.

She didn't expect that Kong Chenyang would be so bold as to poison the emperor with the intention of poisoning him! This was a capital crime, and it was different from when she drugged the emperor before. Although she was bold and reckless, this was a matter of life and death.

"Beauty." The maid saw Beauty Yue sitting by the window in a daze, so she approached carefully and whispered, "Beauty, just now a young eunuch asked me to give you this brocade bag."

Yue Meiren slightly side-glanced at the brocade bag and asked casually, "Did you tell me who gave it to you?"

The maid bowed her head and said hesitantly, "It is said that... the historian Kong Chenyang asked him to deliver it."

She didn't understand when her master became involved with the court officials, nor did she know what was in the brocade bag sent by Kong Chenyang. There must be something fishy about this matter.

As expected, when Lady Yue heard the name Kong Chenyang, she immediately became nervous. She grabbed the brocade bag and warned cautiously, "Just pretend you don't know about this. Lady Yue sent the brocade bag over here. Did you hear me? If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, watch your tongue!"

Naturally, the maid didn't dare to say anything nonsense. She knelt on the ground and made repeated promises. Only then did Lady Yue let her go.

The maid immediately breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly, thus missing the tension on Lady Yue's face.

There was no one in the hall, so Yue Meiren carefully opened the brocade bag, revealing a medicine bottle and a letter.

As expected, Kong Chenyang did not give up. In the letter, he tried his best to persuade Yue Meiren to cooperate with him.

Yue Meiren put down the letter with a complicated and conflicted look.

She could naturally see that Prince Liang was a hopeless person, and based on the personal grudge between Concubine Xian and herself, even if Chu Han successfully ascended the throne, she would not have a good time in the harem.

Rather than being controlled by others in the future, it is better to give it a try for the future. However... this matter is too horrifying. Once it is exposed, she will be doomed. What should she do next? She is a little confused.

However, things are always so coincidental, perhaps this is God's will. In the evening, the emperor was in high spirits and came to Qingcheng Pavilion for dinner.

Lady Yue asked curiously, "Your Majesty, is there any happy news recently? Why are you so happy? Tell me so that I can be happy too."

This was originally just a teasing remark, but the emperor was actually in the mood to talk at this time. He took Yue Meiren's hand and started talking about something.

It turned out that on the second day after Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo returned to the capital with Feng Xi's letter, a huge rock was suddenly unearthed at the embankment of Pingzhou that had been washed away by the flood.

It is engraved with the grand scene when the emperor first ascended the throne and conquered the world.

Upon seeing this, the people of Pingzhou began to praise the emperor, saying that it was the emperor's great achievements in the past that moved heaven and earth, which stopped the flood and helped King Ye to quell the epidemic in Pingzhou.

The huge stone was sent to the capital by the Pingzhou government, just at the same time as Chu Xuan returned to the capital. It was obvious that this was deliberately arranged by someone to please the emperor, but the emperor himself was very pleased with the flattery and his opinion of Chu Xuan changed greatly.

In words and deeds, everyone said that Chu Xuan was Tianji's lucky general.

The emperor's change really caught Yue Meiren off guard. When the emperor was afraid of Chu Xuan, she had no way to deal with Chu Xuan and his wife. But now that the emperor began to value Chu Xuan, there would be no chance for Chu Han in the future.

After seeing the emperor off, Yue Meiren took out the letter and porcelain bottle that Kong Chenyang gave her again and fell into deep thought.

It was obvious that Chu Xuan was behind the incident in Pingzhou, and King Ye was already planning to take action.

On the other side, after lunch, the emperor specifically issued an order to summon Chu Xuan to the palace to talk. The two of them closed the door in the Taiji Hall and talked for an hour before Chu Xuan left.

When he reached the palace gate, he met Kong Chenyang who was about to enter the palace.

Chu Xuan looked straight ahead and didn't intend to pay any attention to him, but Kong Chenyang stopped and stood in front of Chu Xuan.

"Your Majesty, I greet you." Kong Chenyang bowed his hands and saluted slightly, then raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan with a strange look: "Your Majesty is really good at this. Not only did you resolve the issue of my leaving the capital without permission, but you also made His Majesty change his opinion of you. This move really makes this humble official admire you."

Chu Xuan glanced at Kong Chenyang impatiently. This was the first time the two had met since returning to the capital. "Does Lord Kong have any weird hobbies? Why do you always like to stop people at the palace gate? This really makes me admire you."

Kong Chenyang paused, and twitched his lips as if to smile: "I wonder if the princess is doing well these days? That day you brought the princess into the palace, and I took a quick look. I saw that the princess seemed to have lost a lot of weight."

"Kong Chenyang!" Chu Xuan was obviously enraged. He turned around and faced Kong Chenyang with terrifying power, and warned in a deep voice: "Are you really tired of living? Then this king doesn't mind sending you to the west with his own hands!"

Kong Chenyang remained calm and smiled, "Your Highness, why do you have to do this? It's just a little concern from a friend. I have no other intentions."

Chu Xuan stared at Kong Chenyang coldly, and every word he said was precious: "I warn you, Lu Yanluo is Lu Yanluo, not the dead Luo Chuan. Please don't involve my wife in your revenge plan, otherwise, I will fight you to the death! If you don't believe it, just try it."

Kong Chenyang smiled bitterly: "I am not stupid, I can tell the difference between the two of them, Your Majesty, there is no need to do this."

Chu Xuan snorted coldly, not wanting to get entangled with him any more, and walked around Kong Chenyang and left.

Kong Chenyang, who was left there, turned around and looked at Chu Xuan's departing back with meaningful eyes.

He thought that if they were not in different camps, he would have liked to be friends with someone like Chu Xuan.

After returning to the Night Palace, Chu Xuan raised his hand and hugged Lu Yanluo who was coming towards him, making Lu Yanluo a little confused.

Then he asked worriedly, "What happened in the palace? Did your father, the dog emperor, embarrass you again?"

[This dog emperor! If I had known earlier, I would have followed Chu Xuan. ]

Chu Xuan, who was leaning on her shoulder, shook his head: "No, who would embarrass me now? He is so happy that he can't wait."

"What's that?"

The two of them have been together for a long time, and Lu Yanluo can feel Chu Xuan's emotional ups and downs very accurately. When he just walked in, Chu Xuan was obviously unhappy.

Under Lu Yanluo's questioning, Chu Xuan told her with a serious face about his encounter with Kong Chenyang at the palace gate.

Lu Yanluo couldn't help but curl her lips after hearing this. This Kong Chenyang really is haunting her.
