Qing'er stared at Ye Chu closely, as if she felt that her face was finally saved.

Ye Chu was very embarrassed and said: "I begged the Queen Mother for a long time, but I only asked for a little. This medicine is hard to find, not to mention it has been lost. I really have no choice. Maybe, you can ask again. Queen Mother, maybe the Queen Mother will agree."

Qing'er sat on the ground slumped, the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's impossible.

But, with her face, could it be that she gave up because of this?

No, no, no, she must never give up!

Qing'er frowned tightly, she could still steal it if she couldn't do it.

She knelt down again, "Your Majesty, please go get it yourself, please help me."

Ye Chu rubbed the center of his brows, "Qing'er, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that the medicine is so precious that the Queen Mother will keep it close to her body. Even in the bedroom, the Queen Mother has a delicate mind, so I'm afraid it's hard to find it. If it were me, this medicine would probably be put under the pillow even when sleeping."

Of course, Ye Chu said so much, not to persuade her not to go.

On the contrary, it was telling her to steal while the Queen Mother was asleep.

And, under the pillow, very possibly.

After thinking about it, Qing'er figured it out, and really believed Ye Chu's words.

She has been with the Queen Mother for many years, so she naturally knows when the Queen Mother takes a nap, how long the nap lasts, and how the guards patrol.

Therefore, it didn't take much effort for Qing'er to sneak into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

However, as soon as she stepped into the queen mother's bedroom, she was choked and sneezed.

Fortunately, she had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and covered her mouth in time, so she didn't make much noise.

She was a little puzzled why the incense in the Empress Dowager's palace was so strong.

She knew that the Empress Dowager liked to use incense, but she only used some sandalwood with a delicate and light taste, which has never happened before.

It's just that she doesn't care about these things at all now, and her mind is full of looking for medicine that can heal her face.

Boldly, she went to the Empress Dowager's bed, the Empress Dowager was sleeping on her side, Qing'er turned over the pillow that was exposed outside the Empress Dowager, but found nothing.

She looked at the inner side again, a little unwilling to give up, stood on tiptoe, and turned the pillow on the inner side again.

Before she had time to search, the Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly, grabbed the hand in front of her, turned around and was furious, "Presumptuous! How dare you trespass into Ai's bedroom! Someone, let Ai's arrest her! "

Hearing the movement, Mammy rushed in first, protecting the Empress Dowager, and then several guards came in to control Qing'er.

Before the queen mother had time to interrogate, Wen Zheng came.

The queen mother was a little surprised, "Why is the emperor here?"

Wen Zheng's face was full of anxiety, "I heard that there was something abnormal in the Empress Dowager's palace. The imperial physician reported that when he came to give the Empress Dowager a routine consultation, he felt that the incense in the Empress Dowager's palace was too heavy. Dare to make a decision, so I reported it to Zhen, no, I rushed here in a hurry. Is the mother safe?"

"There is nothing wrong with the Ai family, it's just that a thief broke in, and the Ai family is about to interrogate!"

Wen Zheng glanced at Qing'er, saw her bowing her head, Wen Zheng took the sword from the guard's hand, and stabbed Qing'er straight.

Everything happened so suddenly that the queen mother let out a scream, obviously startled.

None of the people present expected that Wen Zheng would kill him, and they didn't recover for a long time.

After a while, the queen mother came back to her senses and said angrily, "Why did the emperor kill her? The Ai family hasn't interrogated her yet."

Wen Zheng raised his hand and asked someone to clean it up.

He glanced at Qing'er's corpse, quite disdainful, "How dare this servant break into the mother's harem, even if he didn't accomplish anything, he would still be punished by death."

"But behind this, what if someone instigates it? Isn't the Ai family dead without proof?" The queen mother raised her eyebrows slightly, now that the person is dead, it is meaningless to talk about other things.

How could Wen Zheng not understand what the Empress Dowager meant? He hooked his lips, "If there is a mastermind behind the scenes, there must be more than one person. If the goal cannot be achieved, the people behind the scenes will probably not give up. So, come one Just kill one, after all, what I care about is the safety of my mother."

"But, this person is from the queen's palace, and the queen may not be able to escape the responsibility."

Wen Zheng frowned slightly, it seemed that the Queen Mother had ulterior motives.Even at this point, she still wanted to drag the queen into the water.

Wen Zheng laughed lightly, "Mother, if it is according to this, Qing'er is originally from the mother's harem. Qing'er has served in the mother's harem for several years, and it is only a few months at the empress's side. In this way , Qing'er is still the mother's queen."

"What does the emperor mean by this! Could it be that the Ai family will let her steal her own things and do something unfavorable to the Ai family!"

Wen Zheng shook his head, "That's not what I mean. I'm really afraid that people with ulterior motives in the palace will say that the empress guards are stealing themselves, and the thieves call for a thief, and they will pour dirty water on the empress if they can't tolerate the empress."

"Ai family, let's see who dares!" When Wen Zheng said this, the queen mother's anger rose sharply. Although she meant it so, but if she said it in public, her face would naturally be unsightly.

Wen Zheng echoed and said: "Of course those people dare not say it in the open, but even if they criticize the mother behind their backs, I can't tolerate it. Therefore, directly disposing of Qing'er is to cut off their gossip. The reason."

Wen Zheng's words were always for the Empress Dowager's sake, but how could the Empress Dowager not know that what he said was completely protecting the Empress.

But right now, if she keeps chasing after him, it really seems that she has ulterior motives.

There are also dead maids on the left and right, but it's a pity that a chess piece next to the queen is worthless.

The queen mother waved her hand, "That's all, Aijia is tired. I haven't had a good nap this afternoon, and Aijia needs to take a nap. Let's all retire."

Qing'er's death soon spread throughout the harem.

Some people sighed endlessly, while others just listened to it as a joke.

The news reached Ye Chu's ears, but she was a little surprised.

But after thinking about it before and after, I also want to understand.

The Empress Dowager did not sleep well, and the Empress Dowager took soothing medicine, so she would not wake up at all during her nap.

Unless someone ordered the imperial physician to reduce the dose, the queen mother would wake up early.

And the timing of Wen Zheng's appearance was too coincidental, he appeared just after Qing'er was arrested.

So once these are connected, there is only one possibility, and these are all designed by Wen Zheng in advance.

Ye Chu couldn't help admiring, this round was interlocking, without a single flaw.

In the end, they killed people and silenced them, which not only solved a big problem, but also made the queen mother die without evidence.

It was only at this time that Ye Chu gradually understood that his strategy was an indispensable part of the reason why he was able to sit on the position of emperor.
