Meng Fu's shadow was dark and surprised, could it be that the Empress Dowager knew her current appearance was fake?

  How is this possible?

  At this moment, the Empress Dowager wanted Xuan Yuan Ye to see her true face! Meng Fu Ying's body stiffened slightly.

  She naturally understood the Empress Dowager's mind, but her thoughts were exactly the opposite of the Empress Dowager's. She didn't want Xuan Yuan Ye to see her true face, especially not now.

  "Empress Dowager." Meng Fu Ying's hand, slightly grasped the Empress Dowager's hand, the sudden change in address indicating her firm refusal at this moment.

  The empress dowager was taken aback, her eyes widening slightly as she concealed a hint of unexpected shock. In her heart, she was shocked to the extreme - this little girl actually knew...

  Xuanyuan Ye was such a keen person, although he was far away, he still smelled the faint scent of medicine, and at this moment, the subtle movements of the Empress Dowager and Meng Cuiying were all visible to his eyes.

  His eyes flashed slightly, and when his gaze shifted to her face, the corners of his eyebrows furrowed for a moment, quickly hiding a hint of abnormality.

  "The Empress Dowager, I am really being wronged, I did not hit her, it was she who suddenly went mad..." Just then, the sound of the Empress's wailing cry came from outside.

  "Her Majesty, the Empress Dowager has given orders. No one is to disturb her." The guard outside said in a low voice, with no room for negotiation in his respectful tone.

  The Empress Dowager slightly furrowed her brow, glanced at Xuan Yuan Ye, and when she saw the somewhat unusual expression in his eyes, a faint smile played on her lips.

  Intelligent as she is, I'm afraid she's already understood, so there's no need for her to continue.

  Upon hearing the empress's wailing voice, his eyes sank abruptly and he said in a cold tone, "Let her come in."

  She wanted to see how the queen would wriggle out of this one.

  Originally, she thought that Shadowy had really gone mad again, so some things could only be said by the Queen, and it was difficult to investigate clearly.

  But now, since Xiaoyu is pretending, then...?

  "Empress Dowager, I..." The Empress hastily ran in as soon as she heard the Empress Dowager's words, still disheveled, clearly having not had time to change, or perhaps intentionally letting the Empress Dowager see her pitiful state.

  But her wailing stopped abruptly when she saw Meng Fu Ying standing quietly beside the Empress Dowager.

  She thought Meng Fuying was at least crazy, but she didn't expect that Meng Fuying would be standing here right now, without a care in the world.

  In those disheveled eyes, there was a hint of panic and tension.

  "Do you have anything else to say?" The empress dowager saw the queen's emotional state and her face grew even colder. This woman, at this point, still wanted to deceive her!

  "Your Majesty..." The empress looked at Meng Cuiying, who was standing still with a calm face, and felt even more uncertain in her heart. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak.

  Come to think of it, just now in her bedroom, everything was smashed to pieces, that bowl for soup was also broken long ago, now, I'm afraid it has already been swept away by the palace maid.

  Now that Meng Fuying has nothing to do and can't find any evidence. What else is she afraid of?

  She calmed down and continued, "I just called Shadow over to discuss the engagement with her. It was fine at first, but then she suddenly went crazy and started smashing things in my room, breaking everything I own. She even hit me, Your Majesty, look at the injuries on my body."

  The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed slightly, she believed that Shadow would not do so without reason, and she also did not believe that the Queen had deliberately invited Shadow to chat casually.

  "Ying Yaotou, you tell me what's going on?" She didn't want to hear the Empress's excuses anymore, her eyes slightly turned, looking at Meng Cuo Ying, the coldness in her eyes instantly transformed into dense affection, and her voice also softened.

  Meng Fu's eyes drooped slightly, looking extremely gentle. Her lips moved slightly as she spoke slowly, "Empress Dowager, it is indeed as the Empress said. The Empress had someone invite Meng to discuss some matters regarding her marriage."

  In her light voice, there was no strong emotion, making it impossible to guess what she really thought in her heart.

  The queen's eyes widened slightly, and her gaze quickly rose to look at Meng Fu Ying. Seeing her gentle appearance, she secretly rejoiced in her heart, it seemed that the medicine had taken effect after all, and should have made her lose some of her memories.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes slightly turned, seeing her gentle appearance, the corners of his lips slightly raised, he knew that in this situation, her words were generally not finished.

  As expected, under the Queen's slightly delighted gaze, Meng Cuiying spoke again, "Moreover, the Queen also asked Shadow to call for medicine, and later...". Meng Cuiying's words paused again, then she put on a surprised expression, "The Queen said that Shadow broke the Queen's things and even hit the Queen? What is going on here?"

  She originally wanted to get that bowl of soup, but at the moment she pretended to faint, the bowl of soup was gone. Originally, she thought it was hidden by the empress, now it seems not like that, so there is only one possibility...

  The Empress Dowager's face sank again, her eyes staring straight at the Empress, and she said sternly once more, "Did you give Yinger a ginseng decoction, Empress?"

  The queen's heart skipped a beat, but thinking that Meng Duan Ying hadn't brought out the bowl, there was no evidence at all, so she said again, "Yes, I had just brewed some ginseng soup and asked Shadow to drink a bowl with me, I also drank some..."

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his face suddenly turned several degrees colder. He slightly raised his hand, pulled out a bowl from his sleeve, and slowly said, word by word, "Just now, I went to the Feng Qi Palace and casually picked up this bowl. Take a look, is it this one?"

  Xuanyuan's cold words interrupted the Empress's speech, but he didn't look at her. Instead, he handed the bowl to Meng Fuying and asked in a low voice.

  Meng Fu's shadow was dark and faintly amused, this bowl was clearly hers when she fainted, but he stole it. Unexpectedly, when he started telling lies, his face didn't blush, nor did he gasp for air.

  But she really didn't expect him to help her so much.

  He then cooperated with him, deliberately feigning a look of surprise and shouting, "Yes, it's this one! I didn't expect the Seventh Highness to bring it."

  Xuanyuan Ye's lips curled up slightly, this woman, she was really putting in enough effort to play this role.

  "Well, then send him to the Imperial Physician's Office for an examination." Xuan Yuan Ye still had a cold face and said in a matter-of-fact tone.

  The queen's face turned pale in an instant, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her eyes stared at Xuan Yuan Ye in utter disbelief. She couldn't believe that the bowl had fallen into Xuan Yuan Ye's hands.

  The bowl was sent to the Imperial Medical Office, and after an examination, everything became clear. Then she...?

  At this thought, the queen's body went limp and she fainted onto the ground.

  Because Meng Fu Ying just got a 'fright'.

  So the Empress Dowager specially ordered Xuan Yuan Ye to send Meng Fu Ying back to the manor.

  Outside the palace was the carriage which the Empress Dowager had already prepared.

  As she walked up to the carriage, Xuan Yuan Ye actually stretched out his hand, intending to help her into the carriage.

  Meng Fu's eyes widened slightly as he stared at him in some confusion.

  Get on this horse carriage, why need him to support, so she subconsciously wants to avoid his hand and get on by herself.

  He, however, was one step ahead and grasped her hand, embracing her as they both climbed into the spacious carriage together.

  In those slightly closed eyes, a faint hint of thin anger seemed to be hidden.

  Meng Fu Ying was completely stunned, and when she came to her senses, she found herself being held in his arms, already seated inside the horse carriage.

  His arm was tightly wrapped around her, and she could clearly feel the warmth of his body. For a moment, Meng Fuyao's heart suddenly felt some tension.

  At this time, he slightly turned his gaze towards her and said, "His Majesty has helped you so much, how will you thank His Majesty?"

  His eyes swept across her face and landed on her lips, his deep eyes slightly dimmed...
