Yueying had a bewildered look on her face, and obviously hadn't reacted yet.

Zhao Ji put away the powder and said, "If Chief Yue cannot guard me for twelve hours a day, how can he guarantee my safety?"

"So I've just made up my mind. Chief Yue, you can live in the side hall of my palace. Although the environment is not very good, I will have to inconvenience you for a while!"

Yueying's expression froze slightly, and Zhao Ji immediately said, "Besides, Chief Yue, the wound on your chest needs to be treated with medicine twice a day. If you kill me in the hall because of your time spent applying medicine, it will be bad for both you and me!"

Zhao Ji's words seemed to have won Yueying's heart. Yueying pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

At this time, Zhao Ji was helping Yueying tidy up her clothes and heard the leader's thoughts again.

[This is a good arrangement. It will be more convenient for me to monitor him. I want to see what this new seal does every day when no one is around! ]

[The Emperor has ordered me to report to him every three days. I will find a reason to get rid of him then!]

Zhao Ji and Yueying each have their own thoughts, but the situation of the queen on the other side is not so calm.

"What? Are the people you found from the martial arts world this time reliable? There are six top assassins among them, but they can't even kill a small palm print!"

The queen angrily threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the pieces flew everywhere.

A piece of debris passed through the face of the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground. The woman's face was covered with blood, but she remained calm.

"Empress, as soon as you said you wanted to kill this eunuch, the Prime Minister immediately arranged it. The assassins selected this time were all highly skilled in martial arts, but an accident occurred."

"But it doesn't matter if it fails this time. Your father, the Prime Minister, has arranged other assassins. It's just that this matter has become a bit of a big deal now, so the next wave of assassinations should not be arranged too tightly!"

"But your father asked me to tell you something - he is just an ant eunuch, don't waste too many people targeting him unless necessary!"

The palace maid finished her words in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, then bowed and stood up, as if she was about to leave.

Hearing this, the Queen became even angrier. She picked up the vase next to her and threw it at the maid. However, the maid seemed to have eyes on her back and dodged to the side.

"What do you mean by an ant eunuch? I spent so much time and money to get the Third Prince's people into the Imperial Household Department, but in the end, it was ruined by just one sentence from this person!"

"If the Third Prince cannot take control of the Imperial Household Department as planned, then may I ask my dear father, how will he implement his subsequent plans?"

"This boy must be killed. Otherwise, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!" There was a venomous flash in the Queen's eyes.

The maid turned her back and listened patiently to the queen's story, then left the palace without looking back.

After she left, the Queen smashed a vase on the ground and said, "What arrogance! If she wasn't the only one around father who was proficient in the art of disguise, he would have replaced her long ago!"

"Get out of here, everyone!"

Just at this moment, the eunuchs and palace maids came in with meals, probably to serve the Queen.

Unfortunately, they just happened to hit the Queen's irritation point. Ling Yan just stretched out her hand and impatiently blasted these people out.

Only the steaming meal was left on the table.

When the palace maids left, they did not forget to clean up the debris on the ground.

"Six assassins couldn't kill him, so he couldn't have started practicing the lower volume of the technique now, right? How could he have the time when he just upgraded his palm seal?"

Ling Yan supported her face with one hand and tapped the table with the other, looking as if she was in deep thought.

"The Queen misses me so much, even when she's eating?"

"It has come to the point where I have no appetite. If this is the case, I can only come to see you, the Queen, with great reluctance!"

A familiar teasing voice came from behind, and Ling Yan suddenly looked up and turned around.

The person standing next to the window was none other than Zhao Ji, who had just been bestowed by the emperor today.

"Why are you here?" Ling Yan asked in surprise, while stepping back slightly and holding a vase on the table in her hand.

Zhao Ji had already seen Ling Yan's actions. He walked up with a sneer, grabbed Ling Yan's hand and pressed it on the numb point.

Ling Yan felt her arm go numb, and the vase in her hand fell to the ground.

Zhao Ji pulled Ling Yan forward fiercely, and Ling Yan staggered and fell into Zhao Ji's arms.

However, Zhao Ji did not hug Ling Yan. Instead, he pressed Ling Yan on his legs and let the noble Queen lie on his thighs.

"How did I get in? I have to thank my good queen for driving all the maids and eunuchs out in a rage, so I was able to sneak in without any effort!"

"Are you thinking of me, so you created such a rare and precious opportunity for me?"

Before Zhao Ji finished speaking, the Queen's face flushed with anger and she shouted, "You shameless bastard!"

Zhao Ji was disgusted by the queen's noisy voice, so he tore a piece of cloth from his lapel, rolled it up with his hands and stuffed it into the queen's mouth.

"Wujiwa..."

Zhao Ji couldn't hear clearly what Ling Yan said, but he didn't want to listen either.

There are more important things to do now than listening to Ling Yan.

Ling Yan, who was struggling on Zhao Ji's thigh, heard a faint voice from above her: "You did what happened today, didn't you?"

Zhao Ji spoke in a completely declarative tone, with a confident look.

Ling Yan wanted to say something, but the next moment she felt a sharp pain in her butt.

Zhao Ji actually slapped Ling Yan's butt again and again like he was beating a child.

"Then the assassins you sent were too weak. I have already killed them all. Don't worry, the dead won't say it was you who ordered them to do it. I will also kill whoever you send next time."

Hearing this, Ling Yan's eyes turned red.

However, Zhao Ji had no intention of stopping. He continued to slap them while saying murderously, "As for the people you and the Third Prince planted in the Imperial Household Department, I have been idle during this period of time, so I have cleared them out."

"I heard that the Third Prince wanted to recruit some people in the Imperial Household Department some time ago. Unfortunately, now everyone knows that I don't need anyone who has anything to do with the Third Prince. If he recruits someone, I will get rid of that person."

"I guess the Third Prince hasn't had the nerve to come see you for a while. It doesn't matter if he doesn't see you. I can relay the message."

Sentence after sentence hit Ling Yan's heart like a hammer. That was three years of planning!

As a result, Zhao Ji cleared it out with thundering means in less than three days.

Ling Yan was so distressed that she burst into tears. Driven by anger, she actually pushed out the waterfall ball that was stuffed in her mouth.
