Chapter 146 (Part 3) ~ Yan Qing’s dangerous multi-party aid

Matriarch Gu was not looking at the decree, and staring at the two people who were obstructing her path, sneering in her heart.

And Ji Shu Yu's heart was even more anxious. She had never imagined that the Empress Dowager would become strict this time. Her deceived child had actually gone to Feng Xiang Palace. At this time, she did not let herself enter the palace with her mother. The day after the Empress Dowager's desire to find Yun Qian Meng's help, Ji Shuyu was very anxious. Now her eyes were looking at the exit of the inner palace frequently, hoping to see the figure of her husband and son.

"Grandmother, since the Empress Dowager is a kind person, let's go back first! Besides, there is  Empress Dowager, so anyone will not bully the cousin!" At this time, the carriage of Chu Xiangfu was driven over. At this time, the night was quiet, and the clouds were natural. 

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Yun Qian Meng slowly coming out of the carriage under the help of a servant girl, looking at the Matriarch Gu. "The Empress Dowager loves the cousin, she will definitely not cause any harm to the cousin. We are still out of the palace, so let's not delay the time."

Matriarch Gu and Ji Shu Yu looked at each other at the same time. At the same time, they looked at the gentle and calm Yun Qian Meng. 

"Mother, the frost outside is too heavy. This daughter-in-law will help you to return to the carriage! At this time, the daughter-in-law is afraid that Qu Fei Qing is already resting. We should not trouble her." But both of their hearts were trusting the calm expression of Yun Qian Meng, They knew that Yun Qian Meng was thinking of a more appropriate method than entering Feng Xiang Palace. So they retreated and went into the carriage. Ji Shu Yu helped the Matriarch Gu to sit back in the carriage again.                                                      

Facing such an incident, the servant and Aunt Lan's heart were puzzled. After, all this time, Madam Chu refused the request of the Empress Dowager. Why did she help the Empress Dowager this time?

"Return to the house!" Yun Qian Meng ignored the two people's doubtful look and then turned into the carriage. She faintly told the driver to drive the carriage out of the palace.

"Lan sister, let's go back!" Seeing the two carriages in front of them were all out of the inner palace, and the servant was reassured.

Aunt Lan was not worried about the two carriages leaving the palace gate. So she nodded and turned to the direction of Feng Xiang Palace.

No one knew the conversations of them were accidentally heard by the brother and sister who finally stepped out of the inner palace.

His cold and fascinating eyes were thinking about the mystery of a few people, and his look was solemn and dignified, with a hint of murder.

Han Yu looked at hes brother, and her heart was clear, but she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it in front of her brother, whispering "This is what mother told me to give you."

With a cold and puzzled expression, he looked at his sister and couldn't understand what happened to his sister. He couldn't figure out.

However, although his cold heart was puzzled, he still took over the letter from his sister's hands, and the two went on a carriage and rushed back to Eastern Capital's Han Fu, which had just been repaired.

The moonlight was hazy, the night frost slammed between the branches and leaves, the cold wind smashed everything, but did not leave a trace.

Han Che in a robe was standing in the courtyard of the study. He was holding a stack of thick books. He was tweeting at the moment, his eyes staring at the sky. In the presence of misty moonlight, his lips were tight, the thick eyebrows were wrinkled, and his whole body was faintly emitting the murderous aura.

Han Yu didn't feel relieved to come over, but when she saw her brother standing outside in cold, her heart sighed slightly. She opened her cloak and carefully put it on his body, and then accompanied him to stand in the courtyard to enjoy the moon view. 

"Yu'er, have you already known?" The sound of his clear and low voice slowly made the worry in Han Yu's heart slightly lower. At least on the surface, her brother's emotions were all normal. 

She gently nodded. At this time, Han Yu had no laziness like in the palace feast, and she was full of energy. "Before entering Beijing, my mother told me. Big brother, my mother told you everything because she didn't want to hide it from you. As for the next thing, they will never interfere with Big Brother."

Listening to his sister's a little anxious voice, Han Che suddenly laughed, reaching out and combing the long hair of Han Yu. He said laughing. "I know, it's just a little sudden for me. You should go to rest. The wind is cold outside. You might catch a cold."

"That..." Han Yu still wanted to say something. But she saw the cold, clear and stubborn eyes of her brother, and then closed her mouth. She finally nodded her head. She calmed down and went to rest in her courtyard.

The cold expression of his (Han Che) face became colder after she left, and he immediately stepped out of the Han Fu.

On the next day, Emperor Yu Qian Di did not come to the early to attend the morning assembly of the court.

After waiting for a whole hour, Yun Xuan Zi saw Eunuch Yu's heavy face. He stepped into the court and announced the end of the morning assembly of the court.

"Eunuch Yu, what is wrong with the Emperor? Is he feeling some kind of discomfort?" Looking at Eunuch Yu's expression thinking that he would be leaving, Yun Xuan Zhi immediately caught him and asked.

Eunuch Yu looked closer at the ministers present in the hall, all of them looking at him with same kind of expressions. His heart was crossed with annoyance. But he smiled and said, "Everyone present here, do not get worried. After the banquet was over, yesterday the Emperor had a few drinks with Prince Rui. The Emperor is having a cold right now. At this time the doctors are already diagnosing the Emperor. I believe that the Emperor will be good very soon."

The rhetoric (impressive in the art of speaking) old tycoons were not convinced. But it was still a matter concerning the Emperor, so nobody tried to raise their doubts.

"Letting the Emperor encounter such severe cold, it is really negligence of duty of people around him." A military commander did not wait for other people to speak and voiced his opinion. His rude words suddenly let the surrounding people get nervous and they let out a cold sweat.

Eunuch Yu is an old man in the palace. How can he not know that those words were directed towards him? There is no such thing that he can't cope with. 

He revealed a face of embarrassment and then he turned towards the people, "This servant has to rush to serve the Emperor. This servant can't stay with you for a long time. So please forgive me."

After that, Eunuch Yu walked out of the hall after the willing compliance of the people.

At this time, the Hall of Ganlu had already been in a mess. The Empress Dowager was trembling and looking at the ruthless Prince Rui and the palace girl in front of her. She couldn't speak for a while.

Aunt Lan was frowning at the little palace girl, but she also did not understand the same thing. Why was the palace girl in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and why was she not in the Hall of Ganlu? And why was Prince Rui in the Hall of Ganlu?

What made the Empress Dowager and Lan Aunt more anxious is, where did Qu Fei Qing go? Why isn't she in the Hall of Ganlu?

Just no matter what happened last night, this was not a good time for the Empress Dowager to punish the two. The emperor has not spoken at this time and if the Empress Dowager spoke, she was afraid that it will cause unreasonable suspicion from the Emperor.

At this time, the Empress who got the news rushed over and saw that the Hall Of Gunlu had been surrounded by the guards. It was also guarded by the Uighurs (ethnic minorities). The Empress's heart could not help but sink. Their faces were more visible. She entered the Hall with great difficulty.

"Greetings to the Emperor and Empress Dowager. Long live Emperor!" Looking at the two people sitting on the side, the Empress immediately saluted, but her eyes were secretly looking at the two people on the seat. She saw the jade dry emerald face, tight lips. But his eyes were full of fierceness and killing intent. The Empress Dowager was full of anger and was trembling slightly.

"Empress, is this servant girl from your palace?" Although it was a question, the voice of the Emperor was affirmative.

The Empress's gaze looked in the direction where the fingers of Emperor Yu Quan Di were pointing. It was really one of her servant girls. Her face suddenly became pale but she did not understand why this servant girl appeared in the Hall of Ganlu.

Under the fierce gaze of Emperor Yu Qian Di, the Empress could only helplessly nod and admitted it to the emperor. This palace girl was indeed her servant. She didn't know what mistakes she made to cause the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to become so annoyed.

"Lan'er, you lead everyone else to quit. Without the order, no one can step into the Hall of Ganlu!" The Empress Dowager's words came out, and she slammed her hands on the table openly, scaring the Aunt Lan. She immediately led all the little ladies and left the Hall of Ganlu, leaving only a few ones to stand in the sidelines.

Looking at the chains, the Empress's heart suddenly became clear. She was afraid that this servant girl from her palace had done something unpleasant. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor had to be strict, but they still had to give the royals some face. 

"Empress, you have to ask your servants to do something good." Emperor Yu Qian Di's hand slammed the table and pointed at Empress's face.

But before the Empress asked, the crying little palace girl suddenly crawled (because she was in chains) towards the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. "The Empress Dowager this slave really don't know anything. But last night, a sister came over and told this slave to come to the Hall. After this slave arrived here, the sister made a pleading. But then I blacked out. After that, I don't know anything else. But when I woke up, I discovered..."

There might be some mistakes. Some might be serious as well. Please be cooperative. I will try my best to minimize my mistakes. And I decided to change the ways of addressing as I discovered that most of the people are not familiar with the way of addressing from ancient China.
