After Empress Dowager Xue left, Yan Fu quickly took Qiao Yu's hand and walked to the bedside to sit down, with a mixture of blame and heartache:
"The imperial physician said you haven't recovered yet, so why bother to greet me personally? The Queen Mother is your aunt, and with me around, I won't dare to embarrass you."
Looking at Qiao Yu's flushed cheeks, Yan Fu felt extremely distressed. How painful it must be for the person whom he usually held in his hands and couldn't even bear to speak loudly to, to be hit like this.
Zhu'er followed Yan Fu in from behind. While Yan Fu was talking to Queen Mother Xue, she had already gone to get the ointment. Yan Fu was about to ask for the ointment when it was handed to him.
The man was very careful when applying the medicine, fearing that he might hurt her. Qiao Yu knew that if she remained ill and didn't get up, Queen Mother Xue wouldn't force her to get up, but now was not the best time to break up with her.
But she couldn't swallow this anger, and she had to make the old tree spirit feel better.
"With Huai Wu not around, Lan Er naturally feels less confident, and Lan Er doesn't want to cause Huai Wu any more trouble."
Qiao Yu leaned her face, which had been medicated, on the man's shoulder. The sound of the man's heartbeat could be heard through his clothes.
The woman in his arms spoke tactfully, and it was not difficult to hear that she had thought a lot about him. Even if she was wronged, she didn't want to cause him any more trouble.
The man's grip on the girl's round shoulders tightened slightly, his crow-feather eyelashes blocking out the turbulent waves within:
"One day, I will make Lan'er fearless. Lan'er, are you willing to join me and wait for the beautiful scenery of Dongxu?"
Yan Fu's words were declarative, and his tone was full of irresistible strength. His words were not as simple as they seemed.
It's about time for Dongxu to change his blood.
"Wherever Huai Wu is, even Shenyuan Lan'er will be with him."
It was obvious that it was time for Yan Fu to start taking action against the Xue family. However, the Xue family had stood firm for three generations, and it was a pipe dream to overthrow it in an instant.
But if you really try to unravel the mystery, the Xue family will eventually be destroyed.
Yan Fu didn't need to say that to Qiao Yu. He was just indirectly hinting that he was going to start taking action against the Xue family, because as long as the Xue family was around, Qiao Yu would not be afraid of anyone.
Maybe Qiao Yu’s answer was exactly what Yan Fu wanted to hear, but he put his big hand on the back of her head, kissing her forcefully and preemptively, making it impossible for her to escape his kiss.
His hot lips slowly kissed from the upper body to the collarbone, as if punishing her for not protecting herself just now, and he deliberately increased the force of the bite.
All of Qiao Yu's senses were occupied by him. The extremely strange and unbearable feeling left her without any strength to resist.
After a while, the man's kiss suddenly stopped. Qiao Yu's clothes were half open and her eyes were a little blurry. She was half puzzled and half blaming him for stopping suddenly.
This cute and attractive look made the man laugh, and he scratched the girl's nose lovingly:
"You, the servants just reported that the imperial concubine is not taking her medicine properly again. Please get better quickly and don't make me wait too long."
The girl instantly understood the meaning of Yan Fu's words, and her head exploded. The originally pale face also turned a little red, which was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off it.
Qiao Yu was so angry that she punched the man's chest.
"Huai Wu always makes fun of Lan Er!"
Somehow, Yan Fu felt that the woman in his arms was so pitiful even when she was angry. He couldn't help but pinch the girl's face.
But when his eyes fell on the other side of his injured cheek, the anger in his heart could not stop flowing out of his eyes. He was afraid of scaring the girl so he controlled himself:
"I will seek justice for Lan'er."
Yan Fu left after feeding the medicine. This shows how difficult the border issues are. Qiao Yu remembered that the hidden danger of Xue Zuo's accident started from here.
The woman's fair hands caressed the red-marked face. In the original plot, there were still a few years before the death of General Xue Zuo. It was Su Yu who really pushed the Xue family out of power.
But Su Yu hasn't really grown up yet, and now that she has changed her mind, it's time for Xue's happy days to end.
"Your Highness has selected the outstanding talents of this year. These are the questions they presented."
"Put it there. I'll take a look at it later."
Zhu'er put a stack of papers on the table and left the room consciously.
Ever since Qiao Yu entered the palace, she has allocated money to support some talented people. Many of the examiners of the imperial examinations were from the Xue faction. If the top beam is not upright, the examiners will not be upright either.
The reason Su Yu was able to pass the exam was that Yan Fu happened to see his essay when he was inspecting the exam. Otherwise, with Su Yu's character, he would not have been able to pass the exam unless he had bribed others.
The harem cannot interfere in politics. It takes time for Qiao Yu and Su Yu to grow up. Instead of hanging herself on a tree, she might as well make more preparations.
So Qiao Yu took care of the provincial examination. She would help clear the way for some good candidates, occasionally give them a few questions to think about and do, and then pass them on to her through informants.
Watch them answer their own questions while also allowing them to each ask a question.
The questions these scholars would ask were undoubtedly related to national affairs. Although Qiao Yu could not answer them personally, he could always find the answers by carefully reading the various historical records in his 404 sea of consciousness.
This is also why Qiao Yu only promised them one question.
In Fangfei Pavilion, Qiu Ziheng was thrown here by the guards sent by Yan Fu. Before she could react, the palace gate was closed.
This is the most remote place in the emperor's bedroom. Even the cold palace is closer than Fangfei Pavilion. It was originally a place for palace maids who were accidentally favored to live here, so naturally it is not very good.
Xu Miao watched his master grow paler and paler, as if he had aged significantly overnight, and he hated the man in Lan Chao Palace even more in his heart:
"Your Majesty, please relax for now. Xu Miao will avenge you even if he dies."
"Revenge... heh."
Qiu Ziheng sneered in despair. The Fangfei Pavilion was as deserted as the cold palace. Outside the palace, the guards were surrounded by three layers of people. If he took a step forward, he would be beheaded.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, why won't you give Zi Xing a quick death? Kill me, kill me!!"
Crying and roaring made Xu Miao, who was watching from the side, shiver uncontrollably. Qiu Ziheng was really a little crazy.
All sorts of memories with Yan Fu flashed through Qiu Ziheng's mind. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, it was all just his wishful thinking.
What's wrong with her wanting to climb up the ladder? If she doesn't harm others, she will only be harmed by others. Oh God, what have I done wrong to be alive!
The factor of hatred continued to grow wildly in Qiu Ziheng's heart. She would not die, at least she would not die easily before that bitch died!
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Miao was stared at by Qiu Ziheng and took a step back subconsciously in fear. The woman in front of him instantly regained her usual gentleness and docility, as if the woman who had gone crazy just now was not her.
"Xu Miao, my good Xu Miao, you will help me, right?"
