"Are you using me?" The queen stared at her.

Su Qingyao shook her head and knelt on the ground. When she saw the queen paused for a moment, she knew that there was still a chance of winning in this matter.

"I don't dare to play tricks with the Queen. My last words are true. I ask the Queen to observe clearly."

Su Qingyao's attitude was sincere. It was unlucky for her to meet the queen today. Even if she was really going to die, she would have to be buried with her.

The queen thought about it for a long time. If Su Qingyao was killed tonight, Emperor Yinde would definitely investigate thoroughly. If he knew something he shouldn't know, Jingchen might not be able to go back.

"I won't kill you tonight, but Su Qingyao, please remember this. If I can give you this life, I can kill you at any time." After the queen finished speaking, she pushed Su Qingyao and Zi Qiu away. Entering the Taiye Pond, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

The water in Taiye Pond was not deep and could not drown anyone at all. Su Qingyao and Ziqiu struggled in the water for a moment before being rescued by a man in black. Their consciousness gradually became blurred until they fainted.

When he woke up again, he found himself on the bed in Huayang Palace, with Ji Xiurong guarding him with a worried look.

"Yao'er, you finally woke up. Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Ji Xiurong saw Su Qingyao opening her eyes and quickly stepped forward to show concern.

I was already very tired tonight. After coaxing Yi'an to sleep, I was about to fall asleep myself when I heard a commotion outside the palace. When I came out, I saw that the guards were bringing back Su Qingyao and Ziqiu who had fallen into the water.

Su Qingyao's head still hurt a little, and she couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Ru Meng quickly knelt down to massage his master, his movements careful and cautious.

"Sister Ji, I'm fine. Where's Ziqiu?" Su Qingyao endured the pain and said.

Ji Xiurong stepped forward and took her hand, "Don't worry, Ziqiu is already awake. How could two people fall into the Taiye Pond all at once? Fortunately, this is late autumn and the water is not very deep. If it were summer, you would be like this Can I still save my life?" The slightly reproachful tone was full of Ji Xiurong's concern for Su Qingyao.

Su Qingyao said slightly embarrassed, "It's just that I was a little greedy and drunk, so I accidentally fell in. Zi Qiu was weak and didn't stop me at all."

"You should bring more people with you. Today is the Longevity Festival. I am afraid that the guards have also been transferred to the Jinse Palace by the Queen. Now that something like this has happened, if His Majesty knows about it tomorrow, he will definitely have to do it first. Blame the people around you and the guards."

"I was the one who drank too much. If Your Majesty punishes me, punish me first." Su Qingyao said.

Ji Xiurong glanced at her and said, "This is already the case. How can your Majesty bear to blame you anymore?"

While the two were talking, Ziqiu came in with a bowl of soup.

Rumeng quickly stepped forward to take it and said, "My good sister, didn't the imperial doctor tell you to have a good rest? Why are you still up? Are you afraid that I can't serve you well?"

Ziqiu knelt down directly in the hall and apologized, "It's my slave who deserves to die. I didn't serve my mistress well. I also ask my mistress to forgive me and give me a chance to redeem myself."

"You are here to save me. No one will blame you. Go back and rest." No matter what Su Qingyao said, Ziqiu insisted on waiting in the palace.

Ji Xiurong was moved after seeing this. The slaves he brought into the palace were more loyal than the slaves sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Seeing Ziqiu persisting, Su Qingyao asked her to stay vigil with Rumeng.

It was almost time now, and seeing that Su Qingyao was fine, Ji Xiurong also went back to rest.

Rumeng had retreated outside the palace and was guarding it with Xiao Xiazi.

In the hall, Su Qingyao held Ziqiu's hand and felt that her hand was still trembling.

"Are you scared?"

Zi Qiu shook her head and nodded, "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I cannot protect my little master."

When Su Qingyao saw that she was about to cry again, she quickly comforted her.

"Don't worry, the Queen will not kill me tonight, at least tonight, she won't dare."

After hearing this, Ziqiu quickly turned her head and came up with a more reasonable explanation, "My lord, what you mean is that the Queen herself is also afraid of what will happen after she kills you. If it makes a big fuss, His Majesty will investigate the matter thoroughly. By then, the affairs of the Queen and Prince Bei Li may be found out, and Prince Bei Li may really not be able to leave?"

Su Qingyao smiled happily and said, "Zi Qiu, you have become smarter. At the beginning, I was really scared, so I could only think of a way to delay it. After talking about Su Qingwei, I saw the Queen She pushed me directly to the ground, and at that time I was sure that she didn’t dare to kill me.”

"It's true that she has a strong family. If His Majesty knew about her affair with Prince Beili, I'm afraid he wouldn't kill her. But don't forget, she has a weakness."

"My mistress, there is no danger tonight. I must say, you have done the Queen a great favor." Zi Qiu knew that if the Queen knew about Su Qingwei's affairs, she would definitely have people investigate thoroughly. By then, Jiang Since she can't run away from home, there may be no benefit to Jiang Yan's pregnancy.

Su Qingyao nodded in affirmation, "I have to give a message to Dr. Li to help Su Qingwei. Otherwise, it will not be good for the Su family. The Queen's mother's family is very powerful. If the matter of Su Qingwei and Jiang Kai is really found out, The crazier Su Qingwei is, the more beneficial this matter will be to the Su family."

Ziqiu nodded in agreement, "I understand, but there is one thing I don't understand. My young master, do you know who rescued you?"

Su Qingyao was confused, "Isn't he a guard?"

Zi Qiu sighed, it seemed that the master really didn't remember, "The slave saw a man in black rescuing the young master, and then several guards came over to save the slave, but the man in black disappeared. No trace left.”

Su Qingyao wondered, this is really strange.

"What do you think?"

"I don't understand," Zi Qiu said truthfully, "Looking at his skills and appearance, he should be a secret guard, but the secret guards are all His Majesty's people. If that man is His Majesty's person, Your Majesty will know about this. , could it be that His Majesty really discovered it?"

Su Qingyao's hand repeatedly knocked on the edge of the bed. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head, "I don't think it's your Majesty's. If it was your Majesty's, I'm afraid he would have died when the Queen held the poisonous needle." It’s about to show up.”

Su Qingyao was so sleepy that she never thought about who this man in black belonged to, or was her every move being monitored?
