Concubine Ying walked out, twisting her slender waist, and flirting with the emperor.
Seeing this, Concubine Qin was furious and scolded, "What a shameless woman! Things have come to this point, and you are still thinking about seducing the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged. The Black Jade Dream Cream was given to me by my brother. I didn't know it had such an effect. Are you really willing to execute me?"
No matter how Concubine Qin scolded her, Concubine Ying's only target was the Emperor. She bit her lip and pretended to be pitiful, wanting to make one last attempt.
However, after the emperor drank the medicine prescribed by Yuan Zheng, the medicinal properties in his body had been weakened a lot, and he was no longer bewitched by Concubine Ying.
Seeing Concubine Ying being so unbecoming, the emperor was so angry that his face turned blue. "Don't even think about leaving the palace today."
As soon as he finished speaking, the archers on the roof drew their bows, and the arrows flashed coldly under the moonlight, as if they had sentenced Ying Fei and the other woman to death.
The ghost mother glared at Concubine Ying with disappointment, then tightened the dagger in her hand and drew a bloody mark on Liu Qiuchan's neck.
"Emperor Northern Qi, are you really willing to give up your Queen of Northern Qi?" the ghost mother continued.
At this time, the emperor set his eyes on Liu Qiuchan. After all, she was the queen he personally appointed. He said indifferently, "Release the queen, and maybe I will spare your lives. Otherwise, you will be executed by slow slicing."
"Haha, Your Majesty, do you think we are fools? If we release the queen, we can't leave the palace alive. Get out of the way and let us leave the palace. Otherwise, you will only see the queen's corpse."
The ghost mother spoke in a cold tone, but her words made Concubine Qin's eyebrows brighten.
If Liu Qiuchan really died at the hands of these two people, then she could naturally take the throne of queen and become the one second to none.
Thinking of this, Concubine Qin couldn't resist the temptation of power. She bit her lip and suddenly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please don't do that. These two people are so cunning. Who knows if they will release the queen after they leave the palace?"
As the words fell, the emperor's eyes became uncertain.
At this moment, Liu Qiuchan also noticed Concubine Qin's intention. A hint of hatred appeared between her eyebrows, and then her gaze fell on the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid. Please put state affairs first in your future affairs. If you do that, I will have no regrets even if I sacrifice my life."
Liu Qiuchan knew that although the emperor was heartless, in a situation like this, he would definitely pretend to be loyal and righteous, and would not let her die.
Such words really moved the emperor. His face turned cold and he raised his hand to let the archers put down their bows and arrows.
"Don't worry, Queen. I will never leave you alone." The emperor said firmly, and then ordered the many royal guards to make way.
When Concubine Qin saw that her plan had failed, she stamped her feet in annoyance, but there was nothing she could do. Under such circumstances, she couldn't openly curse the Queen to death.
Looking at the road leading to life in front of them, the ghost mother held Liu Qiuchan hostage and slowly walked forward, and Ying Fei followed behind her. Both sides were very vigilant.
Because of the emperor's order, no one dared to act rashly. The gate of the palace was slowly opened, and Guimu and Yingfei took Liu Qiuchan into a carriage.
"Once we are safe, the Queen will definitely return the jade intact." After the Ghost Mother said this, she drove away in her carriage at full speed, and no one dared to chase her.
Because he was concerned about the Queen's life, the Emperor naturally did not dare to act rashly. He just ordered the Imperial Guards with a gloomy face to follow behind and not to act without his order.
When Lin Zhan woke up and heard the news that Liu Qiuchan had been kidnapped, he couldn't help but stagger. "What? How could this happen?"
"Miss, the Queen has been missing for a day and a night and her whereabouts are unknown. The entire palace is in chaos and the Emperor is worried." Bixia said with a sigh.
When Lin Zan learned that Jun Beiqi was in charge of this matter, he immediately found him and asked anxiously, "Have you found the Queen? How is the situation?"
Seeing Lin Zhan running out wearing only a thin coat, Jun Beiqi frowned slightly. Although the weather is gradually warming up, there are still times when it is still cold.
So Jun Beiqi asked someone to bring his coat, put it on Lin Zhan, and said with a frown, "You just got rid of the poison, your body is still very weak, what are you doing here?"
"I learned that the Queen was abducted by them, so I naturally came to ask about it. It's been a day and a night, why is there still no news?" Lin Zan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at this moment, not knowing how Liu Qiuchan would be treated.
Jun Beiqi sighed in his heart. He did not expect that the Ghost Mother and Concubine Ying were so cunning. After taking Liu Qiuchan away that night, the Imperial Guards followed them.
At first, they followed closely, but just when the sky was just getting light, an accident suddenly happened.
At that time, the Imperial Guards had already followed to a dense forest in the mountains. Suddenly, many snakes, insects, rats and ants appeared from all directions, disrupting the Imperial Guards' tracking.
By the time the Royal Guards came to their senses, the carriage in front of them had disappeared. From then on, they lost any trace of the Ghost Mother and the others.
After knowing the whole story, Lin Zan couldn't help but grit his teeth and resolutely stayed with Jun Beiqi, wanting to know Liu Qiuchan's situation at any time.
Meanwhile, Concubine Qin was so happy when she learned that the Imperial Guards had lost the Ghost Mother and her friends. "That's great! God is helping me. I hope that bitch Liu Qiuchan will die outside the palace and never come back. By then, I will be the queen of the harem."
"Your Majesty is right. You were born to be a phoenix. Liu Qiuchan deserves to die for blocking your way." The palace maid next to her immediately complimented Concubine Qin.
Concubine Qin glanced at her with great satisfaction. Speaking of Feng Ming, it reminded her of Si Xueyi, the adopted daughter of the Qin family.
Over the years, Si Xueyi had tried to trip up Lin Zhan countless times, but Lin Zhan had always managed to resolve the situation with his wit.
Such efficiency naturally made Concubine Qin no longer pay attention to this pawn of the Qin family. But now that she thought about it, Si Xueyi was already at the age to get married.
So Concubine Qin asked Si Xueyi unintentionally, "What is Si Xueyi doing recently? It seems like I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being frank, but Miss Si has been quite close to His Royal Highness Prince Heng recently." The palace maid said neither humbly nor arrogantly while kneeling there.
