This person is too strong but insists on eating the empress' soft rice

Chapter 23 Eunuch Cao Is Lost

Because once the stiffness is exposed, it will inevitably involve a problem, that is, how can he, Ye Chen, survive from a strong man in the third heaven of the emperor.

It was precisely because of this worry that Ye Chen planned to hide this matter from Qiu Ju.

But after Ye Chen returned to the house, Qiu Ju felt extremely confused.

"Is there something wrong with the exercises? It shouldn't be!"

You must know that Qiu Ju's daily practice is assisted by calligraphy.

The most important thing about his cultivation method is Zhongzheng Peace.

It is almost impossible to say that there is a problem with his cultivation technique.

But how to explain what happened just now?
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Ju came to an extremely terrifying conclusion.

That's why he felt that the reason why he fainted just now was probably not his own cause.

On the contrary, it seemed that there was an existence much stronger than him, and he was stunned secretly.

But if it was really the strong who knocked him out, what was his purpose?

Do you want to say that the other party is here to attack the empress?But it was obvious that the emperor and empress looked as if she had just woken up, so how could this be explained?

The more Qiu Ju thought about it, the more her head felt swollen.

He really couldn't figure out the key point.

Fortunately, the empress was magnanimous and did not pursue her own fault, and she did not cause too serious losses.

But out of worry, Qiuju still sent a voice transmission to Chunlan, Xia Zhu, and Dongmei.

"I seem to have been attacked by a strong man just now! I should have been unconscious for half an hour."

After he transmitted the voice to the three of them, the three of them also woke up instantly.

Out of worry, they also soon came outside Ye Chen's residence.

The three of them looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no hidden danger, they felt at ease.

However, none of the four of them went back to rest in the second half of the night.

Fortunately, the rest of the night was quiet, and no new killer appeared.

Ye Chen woke up from his deep sleep the next morning.

He got up in a daze and went to wash up.

After Chunlan and the others saw this scene, they were completely relieved.

At this time, Qiu Ju was even more confused: "Could it really be that there is something wrong with the exercises I practice?"

At this time, he also began to gradually doubt himself.

……

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Empress Dowager Du had already woken up at this time.

The personal maid beside him had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast for him.

"Go and invite Eunuch Cao over here!"

Before eating, the queen mother gave orders to her servants.

Soon someone will lead the way.

Empress Dowager Du never considered that something unexpected might happen to Eunuch Cao.

Because he is very aware of Eunuch Cao's strength, which is the realm of the third heaven of the emperor.

Even within the entire Great Gorge Divine Dynasty, he is still a first-rate powerhouse.

Asking him to kill a cultivator who is only an acquired level is really overkill.

So at this time, he only thought that Eunuch Cao was resting in his residence.

That's why he called his servants to wake him up.

Although Empress Dowager Du knew very well that the Empress Dowager's body would be found in a short time, she wanted to get first-hand information from Eunuch Cao.

He really wanted to know how Eunuch Cao executed that little slut of the acquired level.

Let's say that the maid went to find Eunuch Cao after taking orders.

He arrived at his residence soon, but after looking around, he found that there was no one of Eunuch Cao inside.

After some searching, she returned alone.

"Empress Dowager, Eunuch Cao has not been seen in the mansion."

The maid said to Queen Mother Du honestly.

After hearing the news, Empress Dowager Du looked a little unhappy.

Because he knows Eunuch Cao's work habits very well.

It should be easy for him to kill such a small cultivator at the Houtian level.

And after he did such a thing, he shouldn't have stayed at the crime scene for so long.

In other words, as long as everything goes well, Eunuch Cao should have returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to report the situation to him.

But what is the situation now?
Until now, Empress Dowager Du didn't think that Eunuch Cao had already died in Fengming Palace.

He only thought that Eunuch Cao was delayed by something, so he didn't return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation immediately.

But if someone saw the empress's body at this time and investigated again, if Eunuch Cao was not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it might arouse people's suspicion.

This is why Queen Mother Du was a little flustered.

After all, he didn't want people to know that he had appointed someone to assassinate the empress.

But after waiting until the sun rose three poles, Queen Mother Du did not wait for the news of Eunuch Cao.

What also puzzled him was that there was no news of the assassination of the empress at all.

This inevitably made Empress Dowager Du have some bad associations in her heart.

So he said directly to the servant: "Show me the Fengming Palace!"

The Bodhisattvas quickly prepared the queen mother's sedan chair.

The group of people arrived outside Fengming Palace with great momentum.

Behind Empress Dowager Du, a eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "The Empress Dowager is here!"

Soon Ye Chen packed up his clothes and drove out of Fengming Palace with a group of servants.

"Welcome to the Queen Mother!"

They shouted in unison.

Ye Chen still couldn't help but said with joy: "I'm really flattered that the queen mother came to Fengming Palace. No wonder I kept hearing the magpies on the eaves crying early this morning."

When he said these words, his face was full of joy.

People who don't know the inside story may think that he is really very happy that Queen Mother Du will come here.

But in fact, he was sneering in his heart at the moment.

"This old hag can't sit still anymore. She wants to come over to find out the situation. I wonder if he will be sad to see me still alive in this world?"

Ye Chen knew very well that the Eunuch Cao he killed last night should be Queen Mother Du's right-hand man.

He even heard from some servants that Eunuch Cao should be the second most powerful person next to Empress Dowager Cao.

Presumably, on weekdays, Empress Dowager Du should have spent a lot of money in order to train him.

In the end, because of his rash actions, he let him die by his own hands. It's no wonder that Queen Mother Du is not sad.

At this time, when Queen Mother Du saw that Ye Chen was still alive, she was really shocked in her heart.

He didn't understand at all, why Eunuch Cao himself failed to kill this brat?

But he is also very clear that this is definitely not the time to express his true inner thoughts.
