Zhao Ji looked at Ling Yan with a half-smile, not feeling guilty at all.

Instead, the Empress Dowager in front of the imperial physician looked embarrassed.

"This damn imperial physician said that an ignorant eunuch offered medicine. How could it be him?"

Ling Yan's face turned pale and blue. When she heard the news about the Dog Emperor, she endured the discomfort in her body and wanted to see what was going on.

As a result, she turned around and ran into the man she had been hanging out with not long ago.

"Your Majesty, it is this dog eunuch who has repeatedly offended the Emperor and even given him medicine of unknown origin..."

"Sure enough, he is a rootless person who can only flatter!"

The old doctor followed behind the queen, filled with righteous indignation and spitting everywhere.

However, Ling Yan's expression became even uglier.

Doesn’t she know whether Zhao Ji in front of her has roots or not?

Zhao Ji was delighted to see an old acquaintance, and he had just appeared before the Emperor.

People also become tough.

"Hey, isn't this the Queen?"

Zhao Ji took a quick step forward, pretending to pay his respects, but in fact his hand had already dishonestly touched the leg of the honorable Queen.

[Damn, how dare he be so bold! ]

[Is the person who offered the medicine mentioned by the imperial physician really Zhao Ji? Where did he get the medicine? He was clearly in ** not long ago...]

Zhao Ji was very confused when he heard Ling Yan's thoughts.

But this is exactly the effect Zhao Ji wanted.

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more he feared himself, and the more he could take advantage of the situation!

While Zhao Ji was thinking, his hands were not idle either, and he was touching the Queen's legs.

Ling Yan's face turned green!

[This eunuch is so bold that he dares to touch his own legs in front of the imperial physician! ]

But Lingyan couldn't get angry yet. Although she was in the back garden at the moment, there were palace maids and eunuchs passing by. If she was discovered, it would not be a matter that could be solved by killing two people.

Ling Yan stepped back slightly, trying to stretch her legs to kick Zhao Ji's hand away, but Zhao Ji instead grabbed her legs and rubbed them up and down, leaving her unable to move for a long time.

[This damn eunuch is so bold. If he hadn’t served me well just now, I would really like to…]

Unfortunately, no matter how much she thought about it, Ling Yan had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "Stop bowing, get up!"

Only then did Zhao Ji reluctantly stop and stand up.

The old doctor was still hoping that the Queen would execute this audacious eunuch.

He exaggerated the whole story, but he didn't expect that Zhao Ji just smiled the whole time and didn't show any fear at all.

However, Ling Yan's eyes lit up. In fact, she had long wanted to find a slick-headed man to kill Zhao Ji with a legitimate reason.

The news that the mother of a country is having an affair with a eunuch must never be spread.

The best solution is naturally to silence them.

"How dare you, Zhao Ji, offend the emperor! Someone, drag him down and beat him to death!"

Ling Yan ordered sternly.

It turned out that the man in front of him was not afraid at all. He even looked around curiously to see who would come forward to catch him.

There were many people in the palace who wanted to curry favor with the queen, and soon several people came up to capture Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was a martial arts master, so naturally he was not afraid of these guards with only mediocre skills.

He said complacently: "I want to see who dares to step forward and who has the right to arrest the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed, and Ling Yan was the most frightened. For a moment, she couldn't even maintain her demeanor as the Queen.

"What did you say? When did you become the eunuch in charge?"

Zhao Ji said calmly, "Just now, the Emperor made a solemn promise to appoint me as the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. Could it be that the Empress is questioning the Emperor?"

The surroundings were eerily quiet. Ling Yan couldn't control her expression for a moment. She pointed at Zhao Ji in surprise and said through gritted teeth, "Come with me!"

Zhao Ji was not afraid at all. He followed Ling Yan slowly and leisurely, and the two of them walked to the pavilion in the back garden.

These few short steps were enough for Ling Yan to regain her sanity and roughly analyze the current situation.

If what Zhao Ji said was true, then even Ling Yan, who was the Queen, would not be able to confront him head-on.

The dog emperor is not dead yet, so we can’t openly break up with him now.

"You and I are now in the same boat. There are some things we should say and some things we shouldn't say. Do you know that?"

Ling Yan rolled her eyes and threatened in a low voice with gritted teeth.

This can be considered as a step given by Ling Yan.

Zhao Ji naturally knew that it was not appropriate for him to completely break off relations with such a large family as the Prime Minister's when his wings were not yet fully grown.

So he threw her a wink and smiled brilliantly: "The Queen is right, after all, we do have some feelings for each other!"

This statement was ambiguous, but the Queen couldn't refute it.

The most confused person now should be the old doctor, who originally thought that with the Queen's support, he could kill the evil eunuch.

As a result, he turned around and directly became the eunuch in charge of the seal. If he had known earlier, the status of the eunuch in charge of the seal would be higher than that of the imperial physician, as he would be employed in an important place like the Imperial Household Department.

After a while, Zhao Ji and Ling Yan ended their secret conversation and appeared in front of the old doctor.

Zhao Ji, who had been smiling at the queen just now, now pretended to be respectful.

He was still saying, "Empress, this is the quack I just reported to you. He can't cure any disease at all. He can't even recognize the common ingredients I put in my medicine..."

The old doctor was still confused, but the situation turned into a crusade against him when he turned around.

Before he could even cry out for justice, he saw the Queen wave her hand and several guards came forward and dragged the old doctor away.

"Empress, I am innocent! I am innocent!"

Soon the sound disappeared in the woods. Although Zhao Ji seemed calm, he was actually still a little nervous.

If I don't have the emperor's trust, I can't act like this.

The person dragged into the woods was Zhao Ji.

Fortunately, the situation has improved slightly now. Zhao Ji naturally knows that the reason why Ling Yan surrendered was just a delaying tactic.

Considering the power of the Prime Minister's family in the opposition, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the court tomorrow.

"I've given you everything you wanted. Now I'm going to see how sincere you are!"

At this time, Ling Yan returned to her previous appearance of the aloof empress.

Using an umbrella and clothes to cover himself, Ling Yan stuffed a packet of medicine powder into Zhao Ji's hands.

This is the second case of trying to get the skin of a tiger.

Ling Yan wanted Zhao Ji to put the medicine in the Fifth Prince's food.

And this is the token of allegiance that Ling Yan wants.

In Ling Yan's opinion, Zhao Ji would definitely not refuse. After all, Prime Minister Zhong was second only to the emperor and above everyone else. If a mere eunuch could get close to the Ling family, it would be an opportunity to rise to the top overnight.

Wait until the Queen's procession disappears around the corner.

Zhao Ji spat on the ground: "Fuck you, the Ling family is the one that wants to kill me the most!"

On the other side, Ling Yan returned to the bedroom and immediately tied a letter to the pigeon.

The letter didn't say anything, it just said: Kill Zhao Ji quickly!
