"Could it be that Ye Qingmei... is really not dead?"
At this point, the Empress Dowager trembled, and fear and unease visibly crept onto her face.
After listening to what the Empress Dowager said, Emperor Qing's expression became even more solemn.
Although he was also troubled by nightmares about Ye Qingmei, which made him restless.
But he always believed that Ye Qingmei was dead and could not possibly come back to life.
Recently, many strange and bizarre things have happened in the palace.
First, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was poisoned and said many rebellious things.
Then came the Empress's misconduct, with scandals that were too offensive to bear.
Then, at Luofengpo, the Empress was kidnapped.
To this day, no clues have been found regarding these matters.
After a moment's thought, Emperor Qing came to his senses and comforted the Empress Dowager, saying:
"Mother."
"She's long dead, how could she possibly come back to life?"
"Behind these events, someone is deliberately doing it."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly and asked with a hint of doubt:
"Someone did this on purpose? Who has that kind of ability?"
Emperor Qing glanced at himself and said in a deep voice:
"Ordinary people naturally cannot do that."
"But if it were a grandmaster, he could do it without anyone noticing."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
After a brief silence, the old lady finally spoke:
"If it's man-made, that's fine. Even if it's a grandmaster, a careful examination will always reveal traces."
"But if it wasn't man-made..."
At this point, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing this, Emperor Qing hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Your subject will definitely find the person who is causing trouble in the shadows as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Emperor Qing waved to a maidservant not far away.
Seeing this, two maids respectfully stepped forward and helped the Empress Dowager leave.
After the Empress Dowager left, Emperor Qing's expression turned sinister.
In his view, the Grandmaster lurking in the shadows posed a far too great threat.
He really wanted to find it and get rid of it.
Unfortunately, at this point, there is absolutely no clue whatsoever, and no one knows where the other party is hiding!
"Hoohoo!"
Thinking it over, Emperor Qing took a deep breath and then looked at Hong Sixiang:
"Eunuch Hong."
"Go to the Ye residence and invite Ye Liuyun to the palace for an audience."
Hong Sixiang acknowledged and then hurriedly left.
Not long after, Ye Liuyun arrived at Xingqing Palace.
Upon seeing Emperor Qing, he only bowed slightly and did not kneel in obeisance.
Emperor Qing didn't care; after all, the other party was a Grandmaster.
"Your Majesty, I have done my best regarding the Luofeng Slope incident."
"You should know that Wu Zhu's strength is no less than that of a Grandmaster."
"Not to mention that the other side also has a Grandmaster."
Ye Liuyun explained.
Logically speaking, as a grandmaster, he shouldn't have needed to explain these things.
But behind them is the Ye family.
Emperor Qing smiled slightly and said:
"Master Ye, the reason I summoned you here today is not to discuss the matter of the Empress being kidnapped."
"Oh?"
Ye Liuyun frowned slightly and asked with a hint of doubt:
"What is the purpose of that?"
Emperor Qing didn't keep them in suspense and responded directly:
You should know Chen Qingfeng, right?
Ye Liuyun nodded. Although he had never met Chen Qingfeng, he had heard a lot about him.
In addition, yesterday was Chen Qingfeng's wedding, and the Ye family also sent someone to offer their congratulations. After returning, they shared some of their observations from the wedding.
"Master Ye".
"I hope you can test this person tonight."
Ye Liuyun frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked:
"Does His Majesty doubt Chen Qingfeng's martial arts skills?"
Emperor Qing nodded and murmured an hum:
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Ye."
Ye Liuyun didn't reply and turned to leave.
In his view, Chen Qingfeng was just a child, and even if he knew some martial arts, how strong could he be?
Sending a grandmaster to test the waters—how could Emperor Qing even think of that?
……
Before you know it, night falls.
At this moment, on the banks of the Liujing River, in Chen Garden.
"Husband, why would His Majesty send you as an envoy to Northern Qi at this time?"
"We also need to escort Sean."
"I've heard that Sean is a great devil, extremely ruthless."
Lin Wan'er looked at Chen Qingfeng with a worried expression.
Before Chen Qingfeng could answer, Fan Ruoruo spoke again:
"Husband, is this mission absolutely necessary?"
"You've only just married Wan'er, and you're already heading off to Northern Qi."
Hearing what the two women said, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"This matter was decided by His Majesty's decree, and I received the decree at the wedding banquet last night."
"If we don't go, wouldn't that be disobeying the imperial decree?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo exchanged glances.
"Then you have to promise us that you'll come back the same way you went."
After a moment of silence, Lin Wan'er said this.
"Oh?"
Chen Qingfeng feigned surprise and said:
"What? Wan'er, are you afraid that your husband is missing something?"
"Your husband is so capable, he will surely return safely."
At this point, Chen Qingfeng suddenly changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, it looks like we're about to be sent as envoys to Northern Qi."
"Before you leave, shouldn't you two ladies treat your husbands to a good meal?"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's hint, Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo immediately became shy.
"Husband, you...you're too much..."
Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and stammered, wanting to say that Chen Qingfeng was too amazing, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
"Ha ha!"
Seeing Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er's shy expressions, Chen Qingfeng burst into laughter.
...............................................................
The night is deep.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Chen Qingfeng's brows furrowed, and he sat up halfway on the bed.
Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo both showed surprise upon seeing this.
"Husband, you...you don't want more, do you?"
Fan Ruoruo asked in surprise.
