The sun had set, and Qiao Qiao was still satisfied with his meal and wine. He happily returned to the entrance of the Demon Palace.

With the white veil covering his face and the medicinal ingredients in his hands, he carefully walked towards the Demon Palace.

"Halt!" The guards at the entrance had clearly changed, unlike the four familiar faces when they left this morning.

"I am a female servant by the Infernal Queen's side. Under the order of the Infernal Queen, I went out to retrieve the medicine. I hope that the brothers can accommodate me." Qiao Qiao still watched as Xiu Luan introduced herself, causing the guards at the entrance to withdraw in respect. She naturally learnt what she was doing and spoke with an indifferent tone.

"Oh? A female servant beside the Infernal Queen? " The four guards at the door looked at each other. Clearly, they were somewhat shaken. After all, they could not afford to offend the people around the Infernal Queen.

"Why aren't you letting him go?" Qiao Qiao's brows were still knit together slightly as he raised the Chinese medicine in his hand and asked.

"This …"

The four of them hesitated, not knowing what to do. Then, they saw a lady in green clothes walking in from the entrance of the Demon Palace.

"Madam." When the four guards saw who it was, they all bowed and said their greetings.

"You guys sure have guts to even dare to obstruct the Infernal Queen's path in the future!" Li Ruo Ying puffed out her stomach as she coldly shouted to the guard at the side.

The four guards looked at each other in surprise before setting their eyes on Qiao yet again. Following that, the four of them knelt down and said, "Your subordinate does not know that the Infernal Queen has offended you. Please forgive me!"

Qiao Qiao's delicate brows were still knit tightly together. A burning light shone in her eyes, and a trace of coldness could be seen in her gaze as she looked at Li Ruo Ying.

"Elder sister, where did you go?" Li Ruo Ying ignored the killing intent in Qiao Qiao's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle. She stepped forward and raised her hand to help Qiao Qiao.

Joe still avoided her attention with a slight movement.

With an awkward expression, Li Ruo Ying stayed where she was. Her arms stiffened, but she feigned calmness on her face.

"Elder sister, come in quickly." When Li Ruo Ying saw that Qiao Qiao was still unappreciative of her flattery, she stood by the door and greeted Qiao Qiao in a friendly manner.

Qiao Qiao continued to look at the gate guards, then raised his head to look at Li Ruo Ying who was waiting for her at the entrance at the right time. He knew that her departure from the Demon Palace would be exposed today.

Still, Joe did not answer, but instead headed for the Enchanted Palace.

Li Ruo Ying followed closely behind Qiao still. The corner of her mouth slowly rose. Today, she was going to use this opportunity to completely get rid of this troublesome woman and the fetus in her womb!

"Sister, please wait for me." Li Ruo Ying's voice was delicate and weak as she stood behind Qiao yet again and called out softly. She then lifted up her skirt and followed Qiao Qiao's steps.

Qiao Qiao's face was still filled with disdain and his eyes were filled with impatience. If Li Ruo Ying dares to provoke her again today, don't blame her for not caring about the friendship they had in the past.

Elder sister — — "Li Ruo Ying panted as she finally caught up to Qiao Yifeng, who was walking briskly away. She let out a coarse breath and slowly said," Elder sister, Sir went to the Blue Li Courtyard today, and little sister had already followed your instructions to keep Sir here in the Blue Li Courtyard for the entire day. Only at night, when Sir had matters to attend to, did you leave.

Naturally, she knew that Li Ruo Ying would definitely help her block He Ming You's path before she left, because not only did she threaten him with her life's work, but the main reason was that Li Ruo Ying was able to use this matter to show off her might in front of her. After all, she was the Demon Lord's wife who was unfavoured behind, so no matter if word of it got out or reached her ears, it would definitely fuel her arrogance.

"Elder sister, although I do not know what elder sister is doing in the Demon Palace, I do not need to worry. We sisters share the same heart, so if elder sister needs anything in the future, you can just directly ask Xiu Luan to find your younger sister." Seeing that Qiao Qiao still did not speak, Li Ruo Ying continued to speak kindly.

Qiao Qiao once again snorted coldly. Her good impression of this hypocritical woman was completely gone. She suddenly smiled and said: "Your thoughts were born in a brothel. You must have been wronged."

Li Ruo Ying's expression stiffened. She didn't expect that Qiao Qiao would still poke the scar in her heart. Her warm smile gradually stiffened on her face.

"If you were born in the Li Family Courtyard, I'm afraid you would have already fought your stepmother and won over your sister. You would have become a young lady from the Li Residence in one leap." Qiao once again could not help but snicker.

Li Ruo Ying's face was ashen, she could naturally hear the mockery and ridicule that Qiao Qiao was still speaking of. This was something that she, Li Ruo Ying, was most unwilling to talk about in her life, yet it was still known by Qiao Qiao.

Suddenly, she grabbed Qiao Qiao's still arm and cried out, "Big sister, big sister, I really didn't tell Your Majesty that you're out of the Demon Palace. Big sister, you have to believe me."

Qiao Qiao's face was still slightly startled. Seeing that more and more people were gathering, her face turned cold. She had already figured out Li Ruo Ying's intentions today. She growled, "What are you all looking at? Get down!"

The surrounding people were scared by Qiao yet another shout. They turned their heads and walked away, hurrying in the direction of the source of the voice.

Li Ruo Ying saw that no one was looking at her, so she pulled Qiao Qiao's hand and tried her best to stagger backwards. "Putong ~ ~" With a shout, water splashed in all directions. Everyone immediately stopped and looked over.

She only thought that Li Ruo Ying wanted to play the love card in front of everyone to expose the matter of her leaving the Demon Palace, but she didn't expect that she would have such a powerful skill waiting for her. She jumped into the lake openly when everyone thought that the two of them were arguing, but she really didn't care about the life of the baby in her stomach!

Heh! What a ruthless heart!

Joe continued to smile at the flopping figure in the lake.

"Quick, quickly go save Madam!"

At this time, it was unknown where Jingyu had appeared before Qiao Yifeng's line of sight, this made Qiao Qiao more certain that Li Ruo Ying was the one who had acted in today's show.

Since she was willing to risk her life to bring calamity upon her, she didn't mind letting this show take place!

"You're not allowed to save me!" Joe shouted, still standing on the bank.

With the Infernal Queen's words, the surrounding guards truly came to a halt. They no longer dared to carelessly jump into the lake to rescue the unfavoured mistress.

"Save Madam! Quickly save Madam!" Jingyu did not expect that Qiao would still be stopping the surrounding guards from saving people, she had no choice but to shout loudly.

"Now that the Japanese Infernal Queen is here, I want to see who dares to save her!" Qiao Qiao was still standing on the shore. His voice was low and deep, and his eyes swept the crowd with a sharp gaze.

"Infernal Queen, you have such a vicious heart. Your wife is usually so kind, so how can you push her into the water today? How can you not let others save her!" Jingyu saw that her wife might not be able to hold on for much longer, she could only muster up the courage to say that to Qiao Qiao.

Although the surrounding people had their complaints about the heartless Infernal Queen, the Infernal Queen was, after all, a precious treasure that everyone knew. Everyone dared to openly defy the Infernal Queen's orders, but the Madame of the lake was in danger.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a red gown quickly came in from the outside. "Putong ~ ~" She jumped into the lake and grabbed Li Ruo Ying who was gradually sinking.

"Your highness, your highness!" When Jingyu saw the Demon Lord carrying his own wife onto the shore, she shouted excitedly.

When the crowd saw the Infernal Queen jump into the lake to rescue the Madam, they no longer hesitated over the Infernal Queen's orders and stepped forward.

Jingyu immediately cried out in tears, "Madam, please wake up, please wake up."

Qiao Qiao laughed in secret. This Li Ruo Ying's play was indeed well done. He had even decided on the time of He Ming You's return.

"Miss." Xiu Luan walked out from the crowd. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still standing by the lake, Li Ruo Ying who was drenched all over and lying in the Demon Lord's embrace shouted in surprise.

He You You raised his head slowly. His hair was soaked as it scattered over his red clothes. The water was still dripping, and a questioning gaze was focused on Joe's body.

The corner of Qiao Qiao's lips could not help but twitch. He looked directly into He Ming's eyes and did not dodge at all. He then slightly turned around and said to Xiu Luan, "Let's go."

Xiu Luan did not know what happened. She only looked at her surroundings blankly before following Qiao Qiao on her way.

"Sir, do you need this subordinate to use the Infernal Queen …" The Demon Ghost had almost recovered from his injuries. He followed behind He Ming You, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Qiao Yifeng who was walking further and further away.

"No need." He Yinyou waved his hand and picked up the unconscious Li Ruo Ying. He then walked toward the Blue Li Courtyard and said in a low voice, "Evildoer."

"Yes." Although he did not have any good feelings towards Madame Li, but compared to that vain, vicious and jealous woman, he would rather use Li Ruo Ying's hand to get rid of Qiao Qiao!

After He Mingyou had carried Li Ruo Ying away, the people surrounding the lake withdrew. However, the crowd that had left all whispered to each other …

"Have you all heard? The Infernal Queen had actually personally pushed the Madam into the lake. I heard that no one was allowed to go down and save her. In the end, it was because Your Majesty had returned that Lady Li was saved from the lake. " In the backyard of the Demon Palace, the female servants were whispering to each other.

"That's right. I even heard that because the Infernal Queen had been discovered by the Madam when she was out on her own, there was a quarrel with her. In a moment of desperation, she had her pushed into the lake."

"No, that's not right. I heard that Your Majesty stayed in the Blue Li Courtyard all day because of Madam's bellyache. After the Infernal Queen found out, she was infuriated so she pushed Your Highness into the lake …"

"Heavens, such a thing actually happened!"

"I was by the lake that day, but I saw it with my own eyes! The demonic consequences are truly a jealous woman. "

The voice gradually faded, but the rumor spread like wildfire through the palace.
