Chapter 18: Baring your teeth can easily turn you into dog meat!
Although there were only two of them in the bedroom, the atmosphere was indeed extremely cold. Attempting to murder the emperor was a serious crime!
"I don't know, and I don't dare to speculate. I will go back and order the Royal Guards to investigate this matter."
"Only a few people come into contact with your food, clothing, shelter and medicine. It's easy to check!"
The old emperor nodded when he heard this. This matter was indeed easy to investigate. If he passed away, the matter would probably be left at that.
But now that I am fine, I naturally need to find out who did it.
"Father, there have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. Some people support me, while others oppose me."
"But don't worry, the surname of this Great Zhou is Xiao after all, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
The old emperor nodded with relief. It seemed that other people’s rumors could not be believed.
If Xiao Yan was really as the legend said, how could he have gained a foothold in the court?
"How are the three people I left for you?"
Speaking of this, the corners of the old emperor's mouth slightly curled up.
"Your Majesty, Duan Tianya and Huang Gong are both loyal subjects of the Great Zhou. They will naturally do their best!"
Hearing this, the old emperor was quite satisfied. It seemed that he was indeed capable to be able to win these two people back in just a few days.
"Yes, the Imperial Household Department is not as simple as you think, so you need to be patient."
"I am old, and I will pass the world to you eventually."
"I hope you won't let me down, cough cough cough!"
As he spoke, the old emperor started coughing again.
"Father!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurried forward and said, "You can't die. You haven't stood firmly yet."
"Father, you are fine. I am very pleased and happy to see you in your current state. This is for you!"
As he said this, he took out something from under his body and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"Keep working hard. I need to rest. I'm tired!"
Xiao Yan took the thing and took a look.
“This is good stuff!”
Then he nodded and could only leave!
Outside the bedroom door, the father and son were talking.
After Hu Shanxiang and Ye Youyue came out, Hu Shanxiang looked at Ye Youyue.
"Youyue, why haven't you come back to me for such a long time? Don't you miss me?"
Hu Shanxiang looked like a loving mother at this moment, which made Ye Youyue a little dazed.
If I hadn't been assassinated some time ago, I would have really thought that the person in front of me was a kind woman.
It was not until the moment of life and death that I understood her intentions and realized that I was just her chess piece.
She was not there when she was sent to the Eastern Palace and was ruthlessly abused by the Crown Prince. She was also not there when she was assassinated.
In fact, the assassin was sent by her, but he was pretending to be a kind mother, which really made her feel sick.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. I am from the Eastern Palace and cannot come into contact with the harem. Please understand!"
Ye Youyue's words were devoid of emotion and extremely cold.
Hu Shanxiang didn't care at all . What she cared about was that this chess piece was of great use now.
Even though he failed in poisoning, he was not afraid of being found out.
Now Ye Youyue is the one who saved the patients, which means she is a meritorious person and will surely be favored by His Majesty.
If you use it properly, it will have unexpected results.
"What are you talking about? I raised you, so why do you no longer consider me your stepmother when His Majesty assigns you to the Eastern Palace?"
"You have no conscience!"
The more Hu Shanxiang acted like this, the more disgusted Ye Youyue felt.
"I have never acknowledged you as my stepmother. I will repay you for your kindness in raising me with those three swords!"
Hu Shanxiang frowned when she heard this, as these words meant a complete break.
"Think it over carefully. If you come back now, I will go to His Majesty to plead for mercy. Then you can come back."
"If you insist on doing this and keep going down the wrong path, no one will be able to save you in the end."
"I will give you one more chance. Organize your words and say it again."
Ye Youyue bowed slightly: "I thank you for your kindness in raising me, Your Majesty. I have repaid your kindness with three swords. From now on, I will be the prince's person in life and the prince's ghost in death!"
“Pah, pah, pah!”
Just at this time Xiao Yan came out of the bedroom.
I couldn't help but clap my hands when I heard Ye Youyue's words!
"The Imperial Concubine is truly a loving mother!"
"But I prefer what Youyue said, 'I am my own person when I am alive, and I am my own ghost when I die!'"
"Have you heard it clearly, Madam? Do you want Youyue to say it again?"
Hu Shanxiang was speechless at this moment.
"you……"
"Don't be complacent, there is still a long way to go, don't narrow the road!"
Xiao Yan nodded indifferently.
"Yes, indeed, but I'm afraid that the queen will beg me in the end, so don't narrow the road, you need to open up the world!"
"besides……"
Then he walked to Hu Shanxiang's side and whispered in her ear: " Your Highness has a nice figure, very...smooth!"
"Hahaha!"
Hu Shanxiang's face turned pale at this time: "You..."
Xiao Yan didn't want to listen to what this woman had to say at all, so he walked up to Ye Youyue and prepared to leave.
As he turned around, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Father is tired and doesn't want anyone to disturb him."
"Li Guang!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guang said in a deep voice: "I will be here!"
Then Xiao Yan smiled and looked at Hu Shanxiang and said, "Yan Kuan led his troops to break into the emperor's bedroom. Although someone ordered them to do so, they are guilty of disrespect and will be sent to the Northern Pacification Office to await punishment!"
"Soldiers, follow orders, and let's just leave !"
Hu Shanxiang stopped it immediately after hearing this.
"You dare? Yan Kuan is my man. I'll see who dares to do it!"
Xiao Yan was not in a hurry. He smiled and took out a token from his arms.
There were four big words written on it: As if I were here in person!
Nonsense!
Everyone knelt down!
"Li Guang, take action. If you dare to resist, you will be executed on the spot!"
Then he turned around and didn't even dare to look at Hu Shanxiang as she came to Yan Kuan.
"I remember saying that a dog is a dog, and should never show its teeth to its owner, or else it will easily become dog meat!"
"You were quite crazy just now, right? Keep going . I like people who are crazier than me."
Then he reached out and slapped her on the face again, endless humiliation!
“Take him away!”
Yan Kuan's eyes were wide open with anger at this time, but he dared not say a word. He still had family. If he dared to show his teeth again, his family would definitely be implicated.
"Come on, let's go back!"
After saying that, he took Ye Youyue and left.
"Xiao Yan, stop right there, stop right there!"
Xiao Yan ignored Hu Shanxiang's hysteria and pulled Ye Youyue away.
Only Ye Youyue's eyes were filled with worry, but she felt relieved when she saw the big hand holding hers.
Today is the day Ye Youyue feels the most secure since coming to the palace. She thought she would be abandoned by Xiao Yan and Hu Shanxiang.
But in the end, that big hand made him feel endless warmth in this cold palace.
At that moment, I silently swore in my heart that I would only be Xiao Yan's woman for the rest of my life, and no one else.
