After blushing deeply, Zhao Yan quickly got dressed.
Only then did Qin Yu signal that Liu Caiqing could come in.
Seeing that Zhao Yan on the bed was still somewhat weak, but the purplish tinge on her lips had completely disappeared and her face was glowing, Liu Caiqing couldn't help but marvel.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Look at the Empress's rosy cheeks; she has recovered remarkably quickly!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yan's face turned even redder. Only the two of them knew why their faces were so red...
"Oh, right!" Liu Caiqing didn't forget to take out the prepared medicine box.
"These are all tonic pills that I usually refine using the Taoist method of soaking silver. They are perfect for restoring my weak body after detoxification!"
Zhao Yan nodded and thanked her, then accepted the gift.
Seeing that the Empress was out of danger, the servants breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down, and offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress is out of danger."
Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction, feeling very pleased.
"Excellent! The Empress's safety today is thanks to all of you. Reward! One hundred taels of silver for each of you!"
"However!" Qin Yu suddenly changed the subject, "The fact that the Empress is out of danger must be kept secret by everyone! And it must not be spread!"
The person who used the poison will surely be furious to hear that the Empress has been saved. Resentful, they might try to harm her again.
To prevent Zhao Yan from being harmed again, keeping it a secret for now is the best course of action!
Zhao Yan could naturally feel Qin Yu's heartfelt concern, and while she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Why are they congratulating you when I've woken up?"
Anfu, standing beside him, smiled to himself.
"Your Majesty, you have no idea. Seeing you unconscious and in danger of death, His Majesty was almost driven mad with worry..."
Zhao Yan knew that she had just escaped death and was now able to be reborn, thanks to the emperor's desperate efforts to save her.
She clenched her fists involuntarily, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.
"Your Majesty, I thank you very much, but I have no way to repay your kindness..."
Seeing that Zhao Yan was so grateful that she was incoherent, Qin Yu put his arm around her shoulder.
"What are you thanking me for? Your safety and presence by my side, Yan'er, is the greatest thanks you can give me!"
In that instant, Zhao Yan felt like the happiest woman in the world, and responded with a shy, sweet hum.
"Um……"
The person is out of danger and is fine, but that doesn't mean Qin Yu will let the matter drop!
Whoever cast the spell, whoever wants to kill their beloved, they must be punished tenfold!
Those who defy me will surely die!
The terrifying killing intent that suddenly emanated startled Zhao Yan, who was in his arms, and she asked in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, what have you remembered?"
"Don't worry, Yan'er. Whoever harmed you, I will make them pay the price."
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yu waved his hand.
"Xuejian, under the pretext of protecting the scene of the ritual, send more guards to the Empress's palace. Remember, they must be kept under strict guard!"
"If the Empress suffers another accident and is harmed by villains, I will hold you accountable!"
"yes!"
Xuejian responded cautiously immediately.
To outsiders, Liu Caiqing was still performing exorcisms for the Empress here, and yet she had been lingering in this vast palace, which inevitably aroused some suspicion.
To prevent leaks and give away their secrets, Qin Yu was also issuing orders.
"Everyone, stop guarding and go do what you're supposed to do."
After saying hello, Qin Yu also left slowly.
Back in his study, he stared intently at the paper and pen before him, his eyes gleaming with an increasingly sinister and ruthless light!
With his fists clenched, Qin Yu's appearance was terrifying.
After some thought, he had a rough outline of a revenge plan and decided to give them a taste of their own medicine!
Poisoning, huh?
Okay, okay!
So what are you, Sima Lie? You think you're capable of poisoning people?
Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?
Although the Prime Minister's faction is indeed powerful and not to be trifled with, it is not yet time for a full-scale conflict.
But.
Since I've come into this world, I have no intention of leaving alive!
I'll let you, you beast, taste what poisoning feels like!
Grabbing a pen and paper, Qin Yu quickly wrote down a secret letter, then planned to have An Fu deliver it to the Blood Droplets so they could carry out the plan.
Just as they were about to take action, they heard a seductive voice outside the door.
"emperor……"
The door opened, and a rich fragrance wafted in.
Qin Yu knew that it was that vixen Sima Jing who had come to seduce him, and he couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly putting away the secret letter he had just written.
He grinned, revealing his large front teeth, in an extremely lewd manner.
"Come, come, Your Highness, let me have a good look at you!"
Sima Jing swayed her slender waist, barely two feet long, as she slowly walked in, unceremoniously placing the pink piglet on Qin Yu's lap, and then skillfully wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Your Majesty, I've been looking for you for so long... So you were here! I thought you were deliberately avoiding me and didn't want to see me!"
As she spoke, her narrow, fox-like eyes were already fixed on the half of the secret letter that was sticking out of Qin Yu's arms.
In broad daylight, this tyrannical emperor locked himself in his study, yet he reacted so strongly.
Without a doubt, the letter must contain crucial intelligence!
"My beloved concubine is beautiful and gentle, how could I bear to distance myself from you?" Qin Yu sniffed the large thunder that was almost touching his nose, and his large hand had already wandered around it, almost relentlessly taking advantage of it.
Although the pink pig was vigorously twisted into various shapes, Sima Jing was extremely pleased to see that the tyrant was almost unable to extricate himself.
Although she wanted to snatch the secret letter, the other person kept it tightly closed with their other hand. Sima Jing then put on a charming act and made tea for him with great flair.
"Although the Empress is seriously ill and in danger, Your Majesty is, after all, the ruler of the country. Please do not worry too much. You should first ensure your health. Eat as usual. Here, have some tea!"
While trying her best to seduce her, she pressed her body closer together.
Qin Yu almost couldn't resist tasting the peach on the spot.
His smile grew even more lewd, and his large hand had already slipped inside his clothes, roaming freely without restraint.
"My dear consort, you are absolutely right! The Empress has not been feeling well these past few days, and I am very hungry!"
"I not only want to drink your beverages, I also want to eat them!"
Feeling the terrifying ferocity beneath him, Sima Jing sneered inwardly.
From early morning, this tyrannical emperor had not left the empress's palace, and even went so far as to turn the entire palace upside down in order to find those few drops of blood.
She almost thought that the emperor was deeply in love with Zhao Lan and had fallen in love with her.
It seems that men are nothing special these days.
This tyrant was extremely philandering and lustful; he only did it for Zhao Lan's body.
If it were just a matter of physical intimacy, Sima Jing was not afraid of the Empress at all, and appeared very confident.
"How annoying... Since the Empress has left you hungry, then don't stay with her! Come to me, and I'll make sure you're well-fed and watered!"
