How did he know that this Prince Xu was so unreliable when he used all his methods to flatten a weak girl? In his opinion, Fu Zixian definitely wouldn't have been able to escape death last night, so he definitely wouldn't have sent anyone to rescue him. However, his ideal and fully-realized situation was often very unreliable, so how could he explain that?

Seeing his terrified expression, Yuchen Ze sneered: "Fu Yunjie, shouldn't you explain what's going on!?"

"This …" He mumbled to himself for a while and his eyes darted in Yu QianXun's direction.

It was as if Yu QianXun didn't see him. Where did he get the mind to pay attention to him!? After dealing with Bai Feiyue's Summoner, he didn't think a Summoner would appear. It didn't matter if the Summoner wasn't his helper, he was still messing with him.

Fu Yun saw that his plea for help had not worked out, so he could only fight to the death and refuse to admit it. "Last night … Last night, this official did not hear from the guard that someone had come to ask for help. "

Yu Chen Ze snorted lightly: "So that means either the empress's personal palace maid is lying, or your Prime Minister's Residence's guard is extremely daring! They even dared to not report such a huge matter to the empress after being assassinated! "

Fu Yun immediately kneeled down, "This old official absolutely does not dare to suspect that the empress's people are all due to this old official's lack of strict discipline, causing my family's servants to be lawless! I beg the Emperor to bestow a punishment! "

Yuchen Ze spat in his heart, but his expression seemed to contain his anger: "It's useless to keep such a servant, but since he's the Prime Minister's servant, how do you think we should deal with him?"

Fu Yun was filled with righteous indignation as he said, "This old official will immediately kill all of them when I return, and will not forgive them!"

Yuchen Ze laughed brilliantly: "That's great!" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "The Jing Zhao Estate has done well in this matter. Meng Wen shall reward them with a thousand taels of silver, and the other officials and officials of the Imperial Protectors shall reward them with ten taels of silver!"

He had already told her that the battle had already ended when he arrived, and it really had nothing to do with him. There was also the empress's servant girl, asking her where the empress was assassinated, but she was still hesitating and could only touch the prawns along the way. Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Inside the Phoenix's Peace Palace, Bai Feiyue handed a completed letter to Bi Chun. "The morning assembly is almost over. Quickly go over and give this letter to the lord of FangShang Village."

Bi Chun nodded and ran out.

When Sharlyn, who was originally well-behaved, saw Bi Chun leave, she looked around and quickly followed him. No one noticed her.

Sharlyn ran very fast and immediately caught up with Bi Chun. Her eyes turned to look at Bi Chun and she crashed into him.

After a series of exclamations, Bi Chun complained when he saw that it was Xia Lian. "Sister Xia Lian, what are you doing leaving in such a hurry?" She patted the hem of her clothes, then quickly said mischievously, "Enough said, I still have to deliver a letter to the Empress. When I return, I'll take care of you properly." Bi Chun smiled at her and ran away.

Sharlyn sneered a few times from behind. She then took out the envelope from her sleeve and looked at it before looking around. After that, she kept the envelope and calmly walked away.

Moreover, after Fang Shangcun received the letter, he could not come to a conclusion no matter how he thought about it. He could not figure out the Empress's intentions for this visit, so he returned to his residence to open the letter.

— White paper?

This made him even more puzzled.

"Esteemed Empress looks very intelligent, otherwise she wouldn't have escaped from last night's assassination. Since she sent you a letter, it's definitely not an empty letter. There must be some other motive, perhaps …"

Fang Shang Village turned the note over and over again, then forced a smile: "Madam, you mean that there are mechanisms on this piece of paper?"

"I don't know if there's a mechanism, but the empress doesn't need to play with you. What's in it for her?"

"Even though your words are like this, your husband is stupid, and you really don't understand." Fang Shangcun scratched his head. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, he slapped his forehead and laughed: "Just because we don't understand it doesn't mean others don't."

Madame Fang naturally knew who Fang Shang was referring to. She hesitated. "Although the capital's Fang family and the Return of Fragrance's Fang family have the same origin, this is still an empress' letter …"

"Sigh, what's the point of scheming? The Young Master of the Fang family didn't save the Empress when she was attacked on her way to Jiangnan. Who knows, maybe this letter was originally meant for him?"

As the news of the ambush had not reached the capital yet, even Fang Shang Village had learned of it from the servants of the Fang family. Fortunately, he was not a talkative person, and since the Empress was unwilling to mention it, he would naturally not mention it.

When Fang Shangcun found the letter and found it, he was in the middle of concocting pills.

Fang Shangcun waited for a long time before he saw the man walk out of the alchemy room, his forehead covered in sweat.

When he saw that Fang Shang Village was here, he naturally greeted them courteously.

Fang Shang Village smiled and helped him up, getting straight to the point: "Can this nephew help uncle read a letter?"

Fang Shangcun handed the letter to him. After reading it for a long time, he soaked it in water and asked, "Are you sure …?" "Is this a letter?" Not a blank sheet of paper?

The corners of Fang Shangcun's lips curled up in an awkward smile. "To be honest, this is the letter that the empress told her personal palace maid to deliver. Uncle is stupid, so he really doesn't understand what this letter means."

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened. "Oh no!"

Fang Shang Village was intimidated by him, "What happened?"

"This letter has been swapped!" Go to the palace and notify the empress! "

Fang Shangcun was so shocked that he didn't even turn around to say goodbye before he ran away. Before he could run far, he shouted: "Uncle!" As a foreign official, you won't be able to see the empress even if you enter the palace. Since the empress has written to you personally, she naturally doesn't want the emperor to know that you're really unsuitable to enter the palace. "

Fang Shang Village turned his head, "Then in your opinion, nephew, what should we do?"

"I heard that when we were at the Prime Minister's Estate yesterday, the empress had her see Cousin Hui Ling in a different light. Tell her to bring Cousin Hui Ling into the palace and that the empress summoned her. The empress is wise and intelligent, she'll definitely call them in."

His guess was right, Bai Feiyue immediately felt that something was unusual. Especially when she saw how Lady Fang pretended to be calm despite her nervousness, the unease in her heart became even more apparent.

She glanced at Qiu Qi, who quickly left with his maids, closing the doors behind him.

Fang Huiling still hadn't figured out the situation, so she really thought the empress had summoned her.

"Esteemed empress, are you thinking of me?"

"…" Bai Feiyue gave a start, then burst out laughing. "Huiling is really smart, I just missed you. It's almost noon now, have you eaten lunch yet? I have already informed the Emperor that he knows that you will not come here today, so feel at ease to stay for the meal before returning. "

Lady Fang glanced at Bai Feiyue before standing up and bowing. "Many thanks, Esteemed Empress."

Bai Feiyue reached out to help her up and took the opportunity to put the slip of paper into her pocket. She smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to be so courteous. It's rare for Huiling to be fated with me.

Fang Huiling was very excited. "What the Empress said is true?"

Of course, she was just being polite. If Fang Huiling were to enter the palace often, there would inevitably be many young mistresses from aristocratic families who disliked her, or would deliberately approach her with intent. With Fang Huiling's mental fortitude, how could she tell the difference between good and bad?

She was being polite, but Fang Huiling wanted to take it seriously. Bai Feiyue looked at Lady Fang, not knowing how to respond.

Lady Fang knew that the empress had been challenged by her heartless little girl. She wanted to laugh, but still coldly rebuked her daughter. "Huiling, the rules mother taught you have been thrown into the sea to feed the fishes."

Fang Huiling stuck out her tongue, but did not say anything in the end.

Bai Feiyue smiled. "Wuling's temperament is indeed rare and valuable. Lady Fang, you've taught me well."

Madam Fang smiled bitterly. "This is the only child my wife and husband have had up until now. Since she was young, she has always been pampered. Only the Empress thinks that she has a good personality."

Hearing this, Fang Hui Ling was still unconvinced. "Mother, don't be so modest. The Empress has already said that I'm a person with a good heart. Then it must be true."

Madam Fang immediately slapped her across the face, causing Fang Huiling to exclaim in shock. She rubbed her head, not daring to say another word.

Bai Feiyue couldn't help but laugh. This Fang Huiling was truly a wonderful person.

She led the two to the outer hall. Bi Chun happened to set up lunch. Seeing them coming hand in hand, he bowed to them separately.

After the two of them had their meal, Lady Fang excused herself and excused herself. Bai Feiyue gave Fang Huiling some small items before releasing her.

Bai Feiyue read a book while lying on the bed. After a while, he put the book down and rubbed his temples. Then, he said, "Qiu Qi, prepare some paper and ink for me. I'd like to practice calligraphy."

"Yes, Empress."

However, in a moment, Qiu Qi placed the four treasures on the desk and began grinding the ink in his hand.

Bai Feiyue walked in front of the table, and at the same time as he lifted his brush, he revealed a piece of paper from his sleeve and spread it out on the paper.

— — The letters have been switched. Be careful of the people around you.

Bai Feiyue's eyes narrowed as he quickly tucked the paper back into his sleeves.

Late at night, she took out the slip of paper from the day and placed it under the candle to burn. She stared at the flickering light, lost in thought.

Today, in the morning, she had purposely sent the letter out in front of everyone so that Bi Chun could lead the way. After all, she had to contact Qiu Wuliang in the future. If she didn't even know which one of them was Yu Qianlou, then it would be too dangerous. However, at this moment, she was somewhat perplexed. Was that person really Yu QianXun's person? Perhaps she had overlooked something from the beginning?

At the same time, the person who received the letter was reading it carefully by candlelight.

After looking at it for a while, he finally sighed. "Could it be that I've been overthinking it?"

He placed the letter on top of the desk and saw that it was written in bold and powerful characters. Anyone who didn't know what was written would think that it was written by a man.

There were only a few words written on it: Yesterday in the Prime Minister's Estate, I had a very good impression of Miss Fang. However, because we didn't have a detailed discussion yesterday, I didn't know if it would be possible for Lady Fang to bring Miss Fang into the palace today and have a chat with her.
