After a long time, the empress spoke slowly.

"Wei Aiqing, you are the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Gate Guards after all, the highest throne, so you should not get too close to these people in the martial arts world..."

Wei Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The empress's words seemed to be a rebuke, but in fact she had no intention of settling accounts with him.

After all, the Dragon Gate Guards' duty is to monitor the martial arts world. How could such an organization not be involved with the forces of the martial arts world?

It is harmless to secretly support a few useful pawns, but these pawns must not be allowed to do things in the name of the court.

"Your Majesty, I have done all this for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants the power of the Baiyun Sect, I am willing to offer it and let Your Majesty decide."

After getting Wei Qi's assurance, the empress's face looked better.

"In that case, Wei Aiqing, please withdraw first. The Prime Minister is ill, and I will go to see him in person."

"Yes!"

Wei Qi's mouth corners slightly raised, and he was secretly happy. It seemed that His Majesty was planning to take action against Chen Yuan.

Let you be arrogant, now the empress has broken the saint and come out of retreat, let's see how Chen Yuan will deal with it.

Youruo frowned when she received the letter from Wen Yuanji.

These days, she has been taking medicinal baths to heal her injuries. Although her injuries have improved, they have not been completely healed.

But unexpectedly, the empress actually came out of retreat and came to see the master.

If it weren't for Wen Yuanji's message, they wouldn't even know that the empress would suddenly visit.

"Miss You, what should we do now?"

Chen Jian and Chen Dao asked.

Youruo frowned: "The empress has wanted to reduce her appearance for a long time. Now she is visiting, it's fake to visit the sick, but it's real to check the truth."

"Let the master of the family see her?"

Chen Jian and Chen Dao didn't know about Chen Yuan's retreat. Chen Yuan only told Youruo about this, so they said so.

Since Chen Yuan didn't want to be exposed, Youruo naturally wouldn't say more.

"No, because of special reasons, the master is not actually in the Shen family now."

"What should we do?" Shen Jian said, "If the empress comes and can't see the master of the family, she will definitely take advantage of the situation."

"No matter what, it's better to delay it for a while..."

Just when several people were thinking hard about countermeasures, a voice came from outside the door.

"The empress has arrived!"

So soon?

Several people had no time to react and hurried to greet her.

For a while, the senior members of the Shen family also hurried forward to welcome the empress and kneel down to pay their respects.

"Stand up." The empress said leisurely, "I heard that the prime minister was busy with state affairs, worked day and night, and was ill, so I came to see him specially."

The people of the Shen family didn't know that Chen Yuan was in seclusion. When they heard that the empress wanted to see Chen Yuan, they also hurriedly ordered.

"Youruo, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the head of the family to see His Majesty!"

Youruo knelt and said, "Your Majesty, the head of the family is ill and his condition is serious. Your Majesty has a noble phoenix body, so it is better not to contact him."

"No problem." The empress sneered, "I brought the imperial physician to my beloved Shen, and it is for the prime minister's illness."

After speaking, an imperial physician behind the empress also hurriedly saluted to the people of the Shen family.

The faces of the elders of the Shen family were all smiling like chrysanthemums. They thought that the empress really cared about Chen Yuan's health.

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful. We thank the Lord for his grace!"

At this time, the empress was also looking at Youruo with a speculative look.

Is this Chen Yuan's right-hand man in the secret intelligence? At this age, it is indeed good to be able to achieve the level of spiritual fusion. No wonder Chen Yuan is favored by him.

But compared with me who has the inheritance of the emperor body and the blessing of phoenix blood, it is just a firefly after all.

I have already broken through the sainthood, but she is only at the small spiritual fusion realm.

After all, she is just the light of a rotten firefly, and it is difficult for her to compete with my bright moon.

Youruo also noticed the empress's gaze at her, but she only dared to lower her head and did not dare to lose her composure.

With her right hand, she slightly clenched the ring on her left index finger.

With the green seal ring of the master, she should not be aware of her demonic nature, right?

At this time, the empress also retracted her gaze and said impatiently.

"What's wrong? Why don't you lead the way?"

Youruo had no choice but to grit her teeth and lead the empress to go.

Shen Jian and Shen Dao were also anxious behind her, but they had no choice. They naturally knew that the head of the family was not in the room at this time.

If the empress could not see the head of the family at this time, would she give up?

Thinking of this, cold sweat even broke out in the palms of their hands.

The door was pushed open, and there was indeed no one inside. Looking at the empty bed, the empress's tone gradually became cold.

"What's the matter? Isn't the prime minister ill? Why didn't he lie on the bed to rest? Huh?"

Youruo and the others knelt down quickly.

"I don't know..."

"I don't know? You really don't know?"

The empress grabbed Youruo's hair, "Aren't you the prime minister's most capable subordinate? The prime minister will tell you no matter what he does, right? You really don't know where the prime minister has gone?"

Youruo's eyes were firm.

"I don't know..."

"Hmph! Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?! You clearly told me that the prime minister was ill, but why didn't I see him when I came here?"

Since Youruo is Chen Yuan's most loyal subordinate, it would be great to find an excuse to get rid of her.

It just so happens that she is just a mere servant, so she can be killed.

You must know that the whole world belongs to the king! All the people in the world are the king's subjects!

"Come on, execute this servant who deceives the king immediately."

Youruo gritted her teeth, but she couldn't resist, because the woman in front of her was the empress of the dynasty!

If she resisted, the entire Shen family would be implicated!

And all this was just because she was the empress!

At this moment, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in Youruo's heart.

Why? Why can't I be...

He looked at the empress with resentful and unwilling eyes, but the empress just sneered.

"I like your eyes very much, angry and incompetent."

Immediately, the empress's guards held Youruo and prepared to drag her away.

Chen Jian and Chen Dao quickly knelt in front of the empress.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy."

The empress looked at Chen Jian and Chen Dao kneeling in front of her thoughtfully. It seemed that, except for Youruo, only these two guys were deeply valued by Chen Yuan?

Well, just get rid of these two together.

"Youruo deceived the emperor, and you two dared to plead for him? Come on, take them down together and execute them immediately."

Chen Jian and Chen Dao looked at each other, and before he could react, he was held by the royal guards and prepared to be dragged away.

And when the elders of the Shen family saw this scene, how dare they say anything more?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that the empress was using these three guys to establish her prestige in front of Chen Yuan!

She wanted to tell Chen Yuan that she had already broken through the Sainthood, and Chen Yuan no longer had the capital to be arrogant in front of her!
