At midnight, several dark shadows sneaked into the backyard of Yipin balm shop.

The screams of a woman, the cry of a child, the shouts of a man... In a short while, he returned to peace.

A red cloud floated by in the sky, indicating a sad and sad story.

...

*******

Beijing City—

Kunyuan Palace is brightly lit.

Ye Qingyan lay on the bed, holding her belly and getting off the couch. She didn't know what was going on, but suddenly woke up and had no sleepiness at all.

Xiao Changqi changed his court uniform and was about to go to court when he saw her get up, and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ye Qingyan touched his stomach, "The child is fine, he suddenly woke up just now. It seemed like he had a nightmare, but I don't know what kind of dream it is. When will Chunyu come back?"

"It should be soon, are you worried about spring rain?"

"Yeah, a little bit."

"With Ren there, there will be no trouble. It's not yet Mao's time, so let's sleep for a while."

"I can't sleep anymore, and it's uncomfortable to lie down. I'm up and walk around." Ye Qingyan got up and helped Xiao Changqi rectify the crown and court beads.

Looking at Xiao Changqi, who was emitting the domineering and mighty of the emperor, he respectfully bowed and said, "Send him to Your Majesty."

Xiao Changqi took her hand and said, "Let's sleep a little longer."

Ye Qingyan nodded, "If you want to sleep, I will definitely sleep."

Xiao Changqi took Gong Cheng and several palace servants to the Tai Chi Hall to pay tribute.

Jinglin took someone to serve Ye Qingyan to wash and change clothes.

After washing up, it was already bright. Ye Qingyan still felt a little bad in his heart when he looked at the bright sunshine outside the window.

Chunyu entered the palace early in the morning, with dusty hair tied in chaos, "Empress, I am back."

Ye Qingyan was walking in the garden. When he heard the sound of spring rain, he began to think that he had heard the auditory hallucination. Until he looked back against the light, it was indeed that spring rain had returned, and he smiled on his face, "Okay, it's good to be back. Go and wash first, and tell me what happened later."

"Yes, Empress." The spring rain went down again.

At this moment, Ye Qingyan looked at the colorful peonies blooming in the garden again, and felt completely relaxed. The shock and doubts at night completely dissipated, "It's a good weather."

...

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Changqi's news told Ye Qingyan was relatively simple, and it was basically a result. In Xiao Changqi's opinion, there was only one result, and he had no time to care about that process unless another accident occurred in that process.

But what Ye Qingyan wants to listen to is this detailed process, not just one sentence - Qingze denies it, and does not admit that he has leaked Gui's identity.

After the spring rain washed up, it became clean and refreshing. I came to serve Ye Qingyan and told her everything that happened in the witch clan and even on the road.

After the spring rain arrived at the witch clan, he first sold scented ointment.

Just so happened that Ji Yue returned to the Wu clan and happened to see Chunyu selling scents. She moved Chunyu from the ordinary inn where she stayed to the hot spring inn. She didn't even charge the cash and soaked the hot springs at will, so she could go wherever she wanted.

After staying at the Hot Spring Inn, Chunyu learned that Ji Yue could enter the holy palace of the Witch Clan at any time. Moreover, Qingze is now in seclusion and practicing witchcraft, and he may not see anyone in a short period of time.

Chunyu started to wait for Qingze to come out of seclusion, and during this period, she sold balms and didn't dare to sell them quickly, for fear that she would have nothing to do if she sold them all.

Later she finally waited for Qingze.

Qingze denied betrayal of Ye Qingyan or even of Yan Chao.

Qingze was plotted by Qingluo. To be more precise, it was Qingming Sect’s wife who ordered Qingluo to force Qingze back to the witch clan.

After Qingluo knocked Qingze in Ye Xinyuan, she pretended to be her identity and entered the palace. She also used Ye Qingyan's calligraphy to prove that she could approach Ye Qingyan, assassinate, poison, or even kidnap, and she could do anything to Ye Qingyan! If she didn't want her to hurt Ye Qingyan, one condition was to return to the witch clan.

Qingze was scared and left the capital, returned to Lishan, returned to the witch clan holy palace, and became the witch king.

However, after becoming the witch queen, Qingze found Emperor Li and discussed with Emperor Li to retire from his marriage with Liu Ying. He also announced that she had no plans to get married within three years. Moreover, even if she got married, she would be recruiting a wife to live in the witch clan holy palace.

After the engagement was terminated, Qingze went into seclusion until Chunyu found her.

Qingze was also very sad about Gui's death. And after she knew she was suspected, she vowed to clarify her innocence.

It is indeed as Ye Qingyan thought, betraying Gui would not have any benefit to Qingze. Moreover, Qingze attaches great importance to Chunyu and Ye Qingyan, and will not do such betrayal.

Ye Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better if it's not her. But who is that?" Although she told Xiao Changqi that it might be Gui's own slap, it is not ruled out that he was harmed. At least one of the two doubts needs to be confirmed.

Chunyu suddenly knelt down, "Empress, I want to go to Chu State."

Ye Qingyan frowned, but also knew that Chunyu wanted to investigate Gui's murder, or even avenge Gui.

"Didn't you say you want to help me take care of my children? If you go to Chu State, who will help me?"

"There are many people who help the Empress. Jinglin and the others learn to take care of their children every day. On the contrary, the servants are the most shallow people who know how to take care of their children." Chunyu was also very reluctant to leave, but if she didn't do anything for Gui, she wouldn't be able to settle down and she could not do anything well.

Ye Qingyan held her belly and squatted to help her up. How could she not know this feeling? When she was in Jincheng, she went to the snow field because of uneasiness. As a result, when she went there... Xiao Changqi died once, her big baby was also lost.

"I promised you to go. But, when I give birth to the child, you can leave." She was also uneasy without her by her side. She didn't have a good rest last night, just thinking about whether something happened to her outside.

Chunyu's eyes turned red, "Yes, the Empress will definitely give birth to Your Highness smoothly."

Ye Qingyan nodded, "With you by my side, I will have more confidence."

"I am too selfish, I'm sorry, Empress." Chunyu raised her sleeves to wipe her eyes, her voice choked and hoarse.

Ye Qingyan hugged her sideways, "Don't think about it if there is nothing."

...

A letter of blood was tied to the blue bird's calves and flew into the palace and fell on Gong Cheng's hand.

Gong Cheng untied the letter of green blood from the blue bird's legs, and sent it to the Qinzheng Hall with a cautious expression.

Xiao Changqi was reviewing the memorials. After seeing the letter from Gong Cheng’s hand, he immediately put down the memorials halfway and said, “Take the letter.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gong Cheng delivered a letter from the blue blood.

Xiao Changqi opened the bloody letter paper—

In Yipin balm shop, Tie family silenced all the words, missing a child named Ruan Wuyou.
