Chapter 678: Division of Labor and Cooperation

ce.""Let's take a chance!" Xiao said, her voice trembling with excitement. "Hong Zhuang is my own flesh and blood, a daughter I raised with all my love and care. We've been planning for her future for...In Ye Hongzhuang's view, Su Yuan was unfathomable, mysterious, and even a little eerie. 。Although she initially agreed to Su Yuan's request out of self-preservation, promising to do whatever he asked her in the future. 。Once the initial heat of passion cools down, such promises lose their firmness. 。Following Lou Qinghan to Suyuan was her only hope for survival. But now, after calming down and thinking carefully, she felt that this path was too terrifying the more she thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lou Qinghan wasn't sincere when speaking to her. 。She knew Su Yuan was a strange person. She had heard stories before about him, even that he and the shaman used live people as medicine ingredients. So she didn't dare truly give herself to Lou Qinghan. 。Ye Hongzhuang had indeed made many plans for herself. She lived by relying on Su Yuan, and took Mei Mei out of the village... 。She didn't tell Suyuan who Mei Mei was, just in case she needed an escape route. 。After entering the palace, if she could see Li Xiaohan, and if she could use Meimei's unborn child to blackmail Li Xiaohan, then her future would still have hope. 。She couldn't kill Ye Wenyan to avenge herself and her parents, but she could pass on this hatred, letting Li Xiaohan fight against Ye Wenyan. 。Or perhaps Li Xiao-han was too strong, so she would ask him for a large sum of money and then use that money to travel far, far away to live a peaceful life. 。But what no one expected was that Empress Li was too weak and was demoted to Imperial Dowager, becoming worthless. She now had to follow Su Yuanren. 。However, Su Yuan wasn't to be outdone. Before she even reached the guest palace, she heard Su Yuan making a scene at the banquet with Ye Wenyan. Even Su Yuan's head was changed onto a dog's body, and Ye Wenyan refused to take responsibility for changing it back. 。Yehong Zhuang is also a ruthless person, immediately adjusting her direction again, this time heading straight for the Tai Fei Palace. 。The night-blooming cereus had been hiding here for more than an hour, exhausted and her legs were shaking with cold. 。Fortunately, Su Yuan's shaman gave her medicine this morning. It was the last pill to cure her heart wound, so she no longer had to worry about her injury or where to find medicine if Su Yuan fell from power. 。Li Xiaohan sat in the chair for a long time, saying nothing. Baochan had said many things, but most of them were advising her not to anger herself and ruin her health. 。Li Xiao Han felt that he had lived for so many years, this time was the most humiliating, more humiliating than kneeling at Yan Huagong countless times. 。After spending half her life as empress, to be stripped from the position of Empress Dowager at the end, she could almost foresee her future life, envision how those empresses dowagers would ridicule and ostracize her. 。All the harm she had inflicted on others would surely come back to her, bringing her a living hell. 。But she couldn't change anything, she didn't even dare to try. After all, the one who belittled her was an emperor, and there was a huge secret behind her that could cost her life if it were ever exposed. 。

“Treasure Toad” 。She lowered her voice, "Go and see who's in the courtyard. How many people from Yong'an Palace have come Also try to find out what kind of background these maidservants in De Ning Palace have and which masters they've served." 。"

Bao Chan nodded and immediately went out to do business.

"Ye Hongzhuang just chose to appear at this moment. When she stood behind Li Xiao Han, for a fleeting instant, Li Xiao Han was dazed and almost let out a cry." 。But Ye Hongzhuang raised her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture to her. Then, she proactively introduced herself: "I am Ye Hongzhuang, my dearest mother. If you don't want people to know I'm here talking with you, just don't scream." 。Don't worry, I won't harm you. In fact, I have good news for you, it's about the Sixth Palace... 。"At this point, he emphasized again: “The original Sixth Highness...” 。Li Xiaohan immediately fell silent and even got up to check the door himself, instructing Baochan to guard outside, forbidding anyone from entering. 。Then, she turned back to look at the person before her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see a trace of Ye Hongzhuang. 。"The disguise techniques of the Suyuan people lose their effect after five years." 。"After applying her rouge, she sat down and looked at the empty dressing table before her. She sneered angrily, 'I had hoped that my mother would have some sense, help me out a bit, but it seems you haven't fared much better than I have. You can't even be empress dowager anymore, only a concubine. But what use is a concubine Stuck in this remote place as one, you won't see the sun for the rest of your life.'" 。...I'd almost forgotten about coming to find you, but unfortunately, Su Yuan isn't very good. ..."

She waved her hand, "Forget it, these are trivial matters. I know you're in a hurry, let's get straight to the point..." 。I'm here, and I want to make a deal with you. I have someone in my hands, carrying the child of Quan Qinglu. 。That was Quan Qinglu's only child in this world, and if Quan Qinglu had already died, then this child would be the continuation of his life. 。I was thinking about how close you and your son are, a mother wouldn't ignore her child, right That's why I came here. I want to take this child from you, it's not impossible. But you have to promise me one thing—kill Ye Wenyan!

Li Xiaohan listened as if it were a story, rising and falling with great emotion>>> 。I was very happy because her son had a child. 。Later on, she heard the exchange condition was to kill Ye Wenyan. She felt that Ye Hongzhuang was making a joke out of her. 。How could she possibly kill Ye Wen If she could, she would have done it ages ago. 。

Even Ye Hongzhuang could see that this condition was impossible to fulfill, so she had no choice but to choose another path: "If you can't do it, then choose the second condition - I want silver, a lot of silver."

You want as many as you like, and I'll give them to you. Then I'll leave far away, and you'll never find me again. 。Li Xiaohan felt that this condition was acceptable, so she sat down and chatted with Ye Hongzhuang in detail. She also inquired about the pregnant woman, asking for a clear explanation of the cause and effect. 。Quan Qingcheng's search efforts are also underway. They have split into several groups, with Quan Qingcheng and Zhuai'er heading one way to find Dong Liu Gong. Their strategy is based on the fact that after Emperor Hongdi accepted Di Zun as his teacher, he was in a good mood and took his favorite maidservant to tour the palace under the pretext of fine rain. 。Because the maidservant was an attendant to the Empress and often entered the palace before, the court officials did not suspect anything. 。Ye Qingtun and Feng Zhaolian walked all the way, looking for Xiliang Palace. They were laughing and joking along the way, following the route where Gu Yue County Lord ran around everywhere. 。Since Fong Zhaolian made her first visit to Beiqi, she had already given people the impression of being lively, unrestrained, and mischievous. So it was not surprising that she ran around the palace, going from one courtyard to another and through every pavilion. 。 Ye Qing Tong played the role of chasing her from behind, occasionally adding a line: "Don't run around, this is the Northern Qi Imperial Palace, not anywhere you can go." 。"Alas, the front is the Zang Yin Pavilion. The things inside are precious and fragile; you can't go in!"

As soon as she shouted this, a palace attendant from the Zang Yin Pavilion immediately replied: “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Gu Yue County Princess has traveled far to be our guest, and she is also Empress Dowager and Emperor's dearest friend. The emperor has already made arrangements. County Princess can roam freely in the palace, anywhere she pleases.” 。As the Empress Dowager's elder sister, you can go anywhere. 。You two are free to play as you wish, the servants will not stop you. 。"

Ye Qing Tong was very satisfied with this, Feng Zhao Lian was also very satisfied " 。The third and fourth princes are responsible for searching the former imperial palace grounds, including the residences of visiting dignitaries. The official reason given to the public is that they are looking for Su Yuan agents to see if any have been left behind. 。It is well known that Suyuan people started trouble today and made things very unpleasant, so it's normal for the two Princes to search. 。Wu Fu and Lian Shi were both eunuchs, spending their days moving about the palace. No one would pay them much mind anyway. 。Ye Fei Zhou was rather unique. He was skilled and agile, so he chose to lurk in the shadows, conducting a thorough search of every place that could potentially hide someone. 。Apart from these people, there was also the Sixth Prince, who was heading towards De Ning Palace at this time, going straight to search for Li Xiaohan's territory. 。There was no reason, he just started searching right away, not even caring if the toffee outside was watching the commotion. He silently searched everywhere, damaging quite a few of the house's already limited cabinet ornaments. 。Li Xiao Han didn't dare to speak either, because she thought Quen Yin was looking for Ye Hong Zhuang. 。She was already feeling guilty about this, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. 。Again, Ye Hongzhuang was standing beside her at this moment. She had just changed her clothes. The Suyuan attire she had worn before hadn't even been destroyed yet. Suddenly, Quan Qingyin burst in. They weren't prepared and could only hurriedly tuck the clothes under their buttocks. 。Therefore, Li Xiaohan couldn't move. If she did, she would be exposed. All she could do was sit on the chair, watching Quan Qingyin rummage around everywhere, wiping her eyes from time to time to express her sadness and sorrow. 。

In the end, Quan Qingyin didn't find the person he was looking for. He returned to Li Xiaohan's face, bending down and leaning closer to her, his cold voice reminding her: "Listen, if I find out you did something you shouldn't have done, or hid someone you shouldn't have, I will definitely not let you go >>> 。"

After Quan Qingyin left, the three people in the room didn't dare to breathe until a long time after he was gone.

Ye Hongzhuang sat down on the ground directly, her face turned pale, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. 。"Bǎochán helped her up, but halfway through she sat back down. So, she stopped trying to help and just asked Lǐ Xiàohán, "Is the Empress alright"

Lǐ Xiàohán shook her head and pulled out the clothes from under her buttocks, “Quickly find a place to burn them, don’t let anyone see…” 。"

Bao Chan nodded, tucking the set of clothes into her skirt. "It's time for dinner. There's a stove in De Ning Palace. I'll go start a fire and just throw the clothes on the stove." 。"Let me take another look at your night-blooming makeup. After some thought, I said, 'I'll find a way to get you out of the palace these few days, and I'll also prepare silver for you.'" 。But the one we want, you have to hand over as well. And..." She paused, "Ye Hongzhuang, how will you prove that the child in that woman's womb is Lord Liu's" you want to talk about teacher-student affection, it's something you say when you're letting her go after beating her up. 。If it weren't for this kindness, you might have just killed her with a palm...
