Su Peichang struggled violently. Seeing Gu Beihuai approaching from afar, he could only shout at the top of his voice: "The Emperor has arrived~"

I swear to God, he had no purpose. It was because the last time he informed the public at the wrong time, it caused a disaster, so he was quick to take a quick look at the situation before informing the public.

Anyway, he had to shout "The Emperor has arrived", otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by Hua Yan.

"Hua Yan, let go." Shen Qingyan came out at some point and scolded.

Hua Yan let go of Su Peichang with a snort, and saw Gu Beihuai walking hurriedly towards Shen Qingyan.

She became even more angry and secretly cursed Gu Beihuai as a dog emperor.

Perhaps he heard her thoughts or something, but Gu Beihuai's cold eyes suddenly turned towards her.

The warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Although Hua Yan was usually bold, her heart skipped a beat when she met those eyes that were full of imperial majesty, and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.

After just one glance, Gu Beihuai turned his head and looked at Shen Qingyan with gentle eyes, as if the coldness just now had never existed.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

He placed his hands on Shen Qingyan's cheeks and rubbed them with evil intent.

Shen Qingyan was startled by his cold hands and immediately escaped his clutches with her face.

"Your Majesty, your hands are cold!"

Gu Beihuai snorted and pretended to be angry and said, "You know it's cold but you're still staying outside. Why don't you follow me in?"

Then he wrapped his big hand around her small hand and led her into the door of the inner hall.

From beginning to end, he did not notice Yu Hongyan who was standing aside, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

At this moment, Yu Hongyan felt like a lonely ghost who was invisible to others. She could see others, but others could not see her.

Seeing how gentle and considerate Gu Beihuai was towards Shen Qingyan, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Although she had shamelessly begged for the position of imperial concubine under the pretext of having served Gu Beihuai and the empress dowager, and of having been able to cure poison, it was all for the sake of having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Although she was demoted to a noble lady, Shen Qingyan had never allowed anyone to deduct any of her expenses, so she still had no worries about food and clothing.

In other words, she now has everything, but is missing one thing.

Love.

The desire to love and be loved is a human instinct. She is not an emotionless animal. She also desires to love and be loved.

It’s a pity that she is just a noble person who exists in name only and is useless.

After standing there for a long time, she turned and left.

Yu Hongyan returned to her own little palace, dismissed the palace maids, and sat alone at the table drinking.

The wine is the best plum wine in the palace, with a sweet and sour taste and a refreshing aftertaste.

She wanted to get herself drunk, but she could not drink enough. She drank until she was a little dazed, but still not completely tipsy as she wanted.

While I was dazed, a tall man appeared in front of me.

"You, who are you?"

She stood up and questioned him cautiously, but she felt a little dizzy because she had drunk too much.

"Be careful."

The man supported her in time, put his arms around her waist and put her on the bed.

Yu Hongyan only felt dizzy, and then a gentle and handsome man's face appeared in front of her.

"who are you?"

This man is so bold, he must not be an ordinary eunuch or guard.

She wanted to push the man away, but there was an inexplicably pleasant and refreshing fragrance on the man that made her reluctant to push him away.

"Are you okay, miss?"

The man's gentle voice rang in her ears again, like a spell, making her sink into it and unable to extricate herself.

In addition, the pleasant smell became stronger and stronger, making her feel dazed and she just wanted to absorb more.

She couldn't help but hug the man's neck and leaned against him...

*

Zhaohua Palace.

Shen Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Zhiyu was out of danger and that there was a high chance that the tendons in his hands and feet would recover.

Of course, she wasn't completely relaxed yet.

"Your Majesty, are you lying to me again? Your Majesty didn't explain Zhiyu's situation clearly. If it weren't for Concubine Yan coming to tell me, I would still be kept in the dark."

Gu Beihuai's brows were tightly knitted together, and his cold tone was somewhat confused.

"When did she come? How did the Guards let her in?"

Shen Qingyan widened her eyes in disbelief, making her chubby face look even rounder.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you are not joking? When you came back, she was right beside you..."

Gu Beihuai really didn't notice this.

He found that he was becoming more and more attached to Shen Qingyan. Apart from her, he could not tolerate anyone else in his eyes, nor did he want to tolerate anyone else.

He knew it wasn't a good thing, but he just couldn't help himself.

"Whether others are here or not has nothing to do with me. The only one I care about is you, Yan'er."

Shen Qingyan snorted angrily and said, "Your Majesty, don't try to change the subject. What's going on with the voodoo doll? And what about those four palace maids? If Your Majesty doesn't explain it clearly today, you will have to stay in another palace in the future."

When Gu Beihuai heard this, he immediately compromised.

"Okay, okay, I say."

……

The clue Pei Zheng discovered was a human skin mask beside the lotus pond.

After verification, it was found that this human skin mask was used by a man with an ordinary appearance, the kind that would not attract much attention if placed in a crowd of people.

Previously, the left and right prime ministers Qin Yunfeng and Rong Lan had fully investigated the existence of foreign spies in the court. After numerous screenings and suppressions, the spies seemed to have disappeared without a trace and no further action was taken.

This recent incident made Gu Beihuai suspect that it was a spy who was causing trouble.

Of course, this is just speculation and the specific reasons need further investigation.

After explaining everything, the stars in the sky were already shining brightly, and the sight was so beautiful.

Shen Qingyan had been extremely nervous throughout the day and was now extremely sleepy. She didn't even want to eat dinner and just wanted to go to bed.

Gu Beihuai firmly disagreed with this and immediately ordered someone to serve dinner. Even though he was holding Shen Qingyan, he fed her mouthful by mouthful.

The reason is simple, I just want her to eat on time and stay healthy.

After the meal, Shen Qingyan became more energetic. Zhiyu had just been carried back to Zhaohua Palace, so she went to visit him.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Shen Qingyan was still shocked by Zhiyu's current appearance.

In just one day, Zhiyu seemed to have lost a lot of weight. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, his hands and feet could not move, and his tongue was gone...

That person could have killed Zhiyu, but he deliberately tortured her like this and spared her life. This was such a blatant provocation that no one could tolerate.

When Zhiyu saw Shen Qingyan, her tears burst out like a flood, one after another.

She wanted to speak, but she couldn't.

She wanted to move, but she couldn't.

The whole person was wrapped in white gauze like a dumpling.
