Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 321 A near miss

Yuan Yingxue stood there and did not leave.

Ever since he was caught trying to touch the thing on the princess' neck last time, he has completely broken off relations with the princess.

Now the resentment and unwillingness in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

After seeing that the princess and her group had gone somewhere else, Jing Qianfan jumped off the roof.

But at this moment, Yuan Yingxue discovered him.

"You are……"

He looked at the man standing in front of him, and thought of the behavior of the princess and the others just now, connecting the two things together.

Jing Qianfan thought to himself that something was wrong. Why didn't he notice that there was someone below him? At this moment, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to attack Yuan Yingxue.

He had just stretched out his hand when Yuan Yingxue suddenly said, "If you dare to attack me, they will be back soon."

Jing Qianfan sneered, "So what? I have to deal with you first."

As he said that, he continued to attack Yuan Yingxue.

Yuan Yingxue was nervous and said quickly, "Yuan Yi!"

Then, Yuan Yi came out from the darkness and came to Yuan Yingxue's side.

He looked at Jing Qianfan and questioned, "How dare you attack our young master!"

"I don't care who he is. Even dealing with you is just a matter of convenience."

Yuan Yi stood in front of Yuan Yingxue, as if to protect him.

At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and white smoke slowly rose. Yuan Yi felt a little pain in his eyes, and the white mist in front of him blocked their sight.

Even Yuan Yingxue, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but cover her lips and cough, rubbing her eyes.

Gradually, when the smoke cleared, they looked again and found that there was no trace of the man there.

Jing Qianfan nimbly found a tree to hide under, grabbing the hanging vines like a monkey.

Just kidding, he was just trying to scare those two people.

Originally, he and Gu Qingyuan didn't want to cause such a big commotion when they entered the palace.

The man was wearing luxurious clothes and had servants. Killing him would probably bring trouble upon myself.

He grabbed the vine and dangled in the air.

There were patrolmen in the palace who saw a creature, not sure whether it was a human or a monkey, under a tree next to the wall. The creature moved quickly, grabbed a vine, and disappeared in a short while.

When she looked over, she saw nothing and couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

It's getting louder. I think I saw monkeys in the palace.

In the Queen's bedroom, after everyone left, Gu Qingyuan came out from behind the curtains.

"His Majesty."

She walked to the Queen's bed again and saw that the Queen's complexion was much better than when she just came in.

The queen felt that her strength had returned a little, and she groped her way up and slowly sat up.

Gu Qingyuan supported her and let her lean against the bed.

"I know she has been looking for the imperial seal these past two days."

They both knew who this "she" was referring to.

The princess was anxious to ascend the throne, so she wanted to draft an imperial edict so that she could sit on the throne openly.

But the queen had been careful beforehand, and only she knew where she had placed the imperial seal.

"I didn't expect that she would be so impatient."

There was a sense of vicissitudes in the Queen's voice, and if you listened carefully, you could hear bitterness and self-mockery in it.

Gu Qingyuan comforted her, "Your Majesty, we all need you now. You must cheer up as soon as possible, and when you are well again, you can resolve this mess."

The Queen nodded slightly, then said to Gu Qingyuan, "The Imperial Seal is placed under the second floorboard after entering the study. When you get it, tell them it's my will. Then one of my men will come to pick you up."

Gu Qingyuan said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, something this important should be given to someone you trust."

The Queen placed her hand on hers and smiled palely.

"You are the one I trust."

The Gu family is closely related to the royal family.

When the royal family gives birth, the Gu family will give birth.

Gu Qingyuan lowered her head and remained silent. At this critical moment, she told herself the location of the jade seal.

If the Gu family intended to rebel, this would be the best time.

She spoke with difficulty, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"it is good."

A line of tears rolled down from the corner of the queen's eyes.

She's gambling.

Now the Crown Princess, Prime Minister Yuan who has long revealed his wolfish ambitions, and the General's Mansion are the most likely to sit on the throne.

But she has known General Gu for so long, and she knows Gu Qingyuan well.

She felt that perhaps she could place her hopes on the General's Mansion.

"By the way, the medicine you just gave me actually contained powdered human fish scales, right?"

When Gu Qingyuan was about to leave, the Queen's voice coming from behind her made her stop.

Gu Qingyuan asked her, "Your Majesty already knew about this?"

Knowing that Lingyu was not actually human, she went to southern Xinjiang and used someone else's identity to obtain a household registration certificate for Lingyu.

"Well, I was a little skeptical when the princess came to tell me about it."

Of course, she also had some books that recorded strange rumors, including one that said mermaid scales could cure all poisons and tasted sweet when drunk, but with a fishy smell.

When she said this to Gu Qingyuan, she was also telling Gu Qingyuan.

The Gu family actually has people she has placed in their care.

Once the Gu family has any ulterior motives, then the Gu family will no longer exist.

But at the same time, if the Gu family serves her wholeheartedly, she will give the Gu family the highest honor.

Even General Gu and Gu Qingyuan were able to enter and leave the palace freely without a token.

After Gu Qingyuan left, the empress lay back down weakly, just as she did when she came in, so as not to let the princess's people notice anything unusual.

After going out, Gu Qingyuan came to the place where she had agreed with Jing Qianfan.

There is a huge banyan tree here. If you stand farther away and look at it, it looks like a giant broccoli.

Jing Qianfan had been waiting for her here for a long time, leaning against the tree trunk boredly, with his arms folded over his chest and his toes tapping the ground.

When Gu Qingyuan came to him, he immediately stood up from the tree and asked, "Have you resolved the issue over there?"

"Well, it was a close call."

Jing Qianfan said as if to take credit: "Those people are too stupid. So many people failed to catch me. I remember you said that I would wait for you here at midnight."

It is now midnight.

Seeing that Gu Qingyuan still had a worried look on her face, Jing Qianfan asked again, "Didn't we just get away with it? Why do you still have that expression? Are we leaving now?"

Gu Qingyuan shook his head and said, "You go first."

Jing Qianfan was anxious, "How can that be? I came here with you, why don't you leave with me?"

Gu Qingyuan had no intention of telling him about the jade seal for the time being, and said that he had other things to deal with.

After all, if the imperial seal falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would be the end of it.

"Is there anything else? Do you need my help?"

"No need."

It was tiring enough for him to follow her into the palace tonight and attract the attention of the princess and others.
