Chapter 197 Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people
From the faint noise coming from outside just now, Yang Wanqing roughly guessed what had happened.
Concubine Yin is the apple of His Majesty's eye and the only concubine in the palace. It is common for her to look down on herself. She must have no good intentions in coming here this time.
Yang Wanqing sighed softly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness.
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao immediately took out four small bottles from her arms and gave them to Yang Wanqing and Zhao Yuwei respectively.
"Your Majesty, Princess, these are the detoxification pills and invisibility pills I made myself. The detoxification pill can cure any poison, and the invisibility pill can make you disappear for a quarter of an hour when you are in danger. Keep them with you as a backup!" After saying that, Wang Xinyao stuffed the small bottle into their hands.
Zhao Yuwei took the bottle as if it were a treasure and hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Wang!"
She knew very well that the girl in front of her looked about the same age as herself, but in fact she was very capable, just like the orchid in the unfathomable valley.
"Xinyao, thank you so much. I didn't expect that you could make pills. You are really an amazing woman!" Yang Wanqing took the pill with great joy. She didn't even call her "girl" anymore, but called her by her name affectionately.
This action made Zhao Yuwei look at her mother with confusion.
After Wang Xinyao and the others left, Zhao Yuwei couldn't help but ask, "Mother, why did you give her the Phoenix Bracelet that the Empress Dowager gave you? That was a gift from the Empress Dowager. We could have used something else to thank her. Also, why did you call her by her name?"
Yang Wanqing smiled, her eyes gently fixed on her daughter, and she spoke slowly, "Wei'er, don't you think you haven't noticed anything unusual?"
Zhao Yuwei blinked her bright eyes and asked in confusion, "What did you find? Mother, please stop keeping me in suspense!"
"Between Xinyao and your prince brother..." Yang Wanqing smiled slightly, shook her head gently and spoke again.
Before she could finish her words, Zhao Yuwei seemed to suddenly understand something. She opened her mouth in surprise and cried out, "Mother, you are not trying to say that Miss Wang and the Crown Prince have an unusual relationship, are you?"
Hearing this, Yang Wanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said lightly: "Haha, you are not too stupid after all."
"Xuan'er has always been cautious in his actions, but this time he entrusted such an obscure painting to this girl to bring into the heavily guarded imperial palace. This kind of trust is equivalent to handing his life over to this girl, which shows her position in Xuan'er's mind." Then she continued to analyze thoughtfully.
"Moreover, whenever Xinyao mentioned Xuan'er, the tenderness in the depths of her eyes could not be concealed no matter what!" Having said that, Yang Wanqing nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Xinyao and Eunuch Xu walked out of the cold palace. The four guards were still standing upright at the door.
"You have done a great job today. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, remember to report it to His Majesty immediately without any delay." Eunuch Xu showed a hint of satisfaction on his face and spoke slowly.
Hearing Eunuch Xu's words, the four guards exchanged glances before responding in unison, "Thank you for your praise, Eunuch. This is our duty, and we will do our utmost to ensure it continues."
Although their voices were not loud, they were very uniform and seemed particularly clear in this silent cold palace.
Eunuch Xu smiled and nodded slightly, with satisfaction in his eyes, indicating that he approved of the answers of the four people.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xinyao quickly reached into her arms and took out four small and exquisite bottles again.
Then, she placed the bottles one by one in the hands of the four guards and said softly, "You have performed very well tonight. These are for you!"
"Thank you, eunuch!" The four guards responded in unison, their tone full of gratitude.
Then, they couldn't wait to take the bottle and opened the cap almost at the same time.
In an instant, an extremely rich fragrance wafts into your nose, like a spring breeze blowing across your face, making you intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself.
"Oh my God! It's actually a second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, and it's a top-grade one at that!" Several people exclaimed in unison, their voices full of disbelief and excitement.
You should know that the second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill is an extremely precious and rare pill. Its efficacy is extremely powerful and can help practitioners quickly improve their strength and break through bottlenecks.
What's more, the four Spirit Gathering Pills in front of him are of top-grade quality and are priceless. They can be said to be rare treasures.
The four guards couldn't contain their joy, their ecstasy was beyond words.
They all knelt on their knees and kowtowed respectfully to Wang Xinyao in gratitude: "Thank you for the gift, eunuch. We will do our utmost to protect the queen and ensure her absolute safety!"
Seeing everyone's sincere attitude, Wang Xinyao's face blossomed with a gratified smile.
She quickly waved her hand, signaling everyone to stand. "Alright, please stand up quickly. You are all loyal and brave men, and you are all excellent! As long as you continue to work diligently, there will surely be many more opportunities like this!"
On the second day, Wang Xinyao packed her bags, said goodbye to Emperor Zhao Guoan and Eunuch Xu, and left the palace early in the morning light with Xiao Xizi.
At the same time, in another part of the palace, in the Chaoyang Hall, there was a lively and joyous scene.
Today, Concubine Li is in high spirits and in high spirits, because she has finally waited for this long-awaited moment and can show her charm.
Concubine Li was not born in the Central Plains, but was a princess of a small foreign kingdom. Back then, she was presented as a gift by her father to Zhao Guoan, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.
However, since she married into the palace and became a concubine, fate did not seem to favor her.
After the wedding night, Zhao Guoan never visited her bedroom again.
This made Concubine Li, who was far away in a foreign country, feel lost and helpless. Even her father, the emperor, complained about her for not having any children.
What made Concubine Li even more sad was that Zhao Guoan was not only handsome, but also gentle and elegant. Such a perfect man gave all his tenderness and affection to the favored Concubine Yin.
Although Concubine Li possessed many talents, she had to keep them hidden because she had never been favored by the emperor.
As the saying goes, "God will not let down those who work hard." Not long after the emperor went to court, an imperial edict descended on Lipin's palace like a refreshing rain after a long drought.
The person who came to read the imperial edict was actually Eunuch Xu, who was deeply trusted by the emperor. This detail was enough to show the emperor's attention and satisfaction with Concubine Li.
