Chapter 197 Investigate Yourself

"Ye Qingluo, in addition to investigating the origin of the counterfeit that caused the imperial concubine to be poisoned again, I have another task for you."

"That is to find out who the woman with the veil on her head is who took down the notice. If you can get the clue, I will reward you handsomely."

"This..." Ye Qingluo was in a very complicated mood. She didn't know whether to agree or refuse. She couldn't tell the emperor that the person was actually herself.

There was no way to explain what happened afterwards. I was afraid that she would lose her life here before the investigation could be completed.

In response, Ye Qingluo tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Regent is not in the capital right now. Perhaps the traveling doctor has already left?"

"It would be even more difficult to track down the suspect. Why not wait for the prince to come back..."

"No, according to the information I received, the woman in the veil appeared near the Regent's Palace yesterday, and she must still be in the capital. After thinking it over, I think you have treated the Queen Mother before, and you have saved the Regent, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward."

"Ye Qingluo, please don't let me down."

The emperor's intention to criticize was obvious, and his tone did not sound like a negotiation at all.

Ye Qingluo smiled bitterly inwardly. Now she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.

After coming out of the imperial study, Ye Qingluo fell into a dilemma. The person who unveiled the notice was her, and the woman wearing a veil on her head was also her.

But the emperor gave her the task of finding herself, how could that be possible?

Fortunately, the emperor did not set a deadline for this matter, otherwise it would be the end of us.

"Ye Qingluo!"

When they were almost at the palace gate, they saw Chu Beiyu and Su Wan standing there, and it looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

"Is something wrong?"

Ye Qingluo glanced at the two of them coldly, obviously not wanting to pay any attention to them, but Chu Beiyu and Su Wan had no intention of letting them go.

Su Wan leaned close to Chu Beiyu and said with a worried look on her face, "Sister, the Marquis was very worried about you when he saw that you didn't come out."

"How are you? Are you seriously injured?"

"Worry?"

Ye Qingluo looked disdainful and said, "You are worried that I won't be punished."

"Chu Beiyu, since you mentioned the past in front of the emperor, why do you have to pretend to be affectionate?"

"You're so hypocritical, it's disgusting!"

"Or do you want to restore your image of living on your wife's dowry?"

"Ye Qingluo, shut up!"

Chu Beiyu was furious. Although there were only a few of them around, they were still in the palace. If any palace maid, eunuch, or guard heard what he said, his image would be completely ruined!

He strode forward, his face frighteningly dark, grabbed Ye Qingluo's wrist, and wanted to kill her.

"You go back with me!"

This woman dared to slander him in front of the emperor. He could not care less about it in the palace, but when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, whether to beat her or punish her would be up to him, the Marquis!

"That won't do. The Emperor asked me to investigate the counterfeit products and to help the Imperial Concubine detoxify."

"My Lord, why are you in such a hurry to take me back? Have you found a way to detoxify me?"

"Hmph!" Chu Beiyu shook off Ye Qingluo and turned his head away from her, almost falling into the trap of this vicious woman.

If he stopped it, it would mean that he had found a way to detoxify her. If that got out, the Emperor would suspect that he was involved in the concubine's affair.

But he couldn't swallow the humiliation of letting Ye Qingluo do nothing and letting her be so arrogant.

"Ye Qingluo, whether it's an investigation or detoxification, you have to remember that as long as you are my wife, you must behave yourself."

"Don't think you can get away with it every time with your little cleverness. Think about Cuizhu and the people around you!"

Chu Beiyu's eyes were fierce and full of disgust, "My patience is always limited."

"My Lord, please don't be angry with my sister. Since my sister wants to stay, just go along with her wishes."

Su Wan's affected voice came, "But sister, since the emperor asked me to help investigate, if there are any clues, or if I can help, you must tell me."

"I sincerely want to help my sister find the person behind this as soon as possible."

"Wan'er, don't say so much to her. A sinister and cunning person like her might be thinking of some vicious tricks to murder you in private."

When Chu Beiyu was about to continue speaking, he saw a palace maid coming towards him, so he had to stop talking.

He took Su Wan's hand and glared at Ye Qingluo before leaving.

"Ye Qingluo, you'd better not forget what I said just now!"

Previously, there was a regent in Huichun Hall, and Ye Qingluo was the regent's savior, so no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it.

But now that the Regent has left the capital, he wants to see if Ye Qingluo can still be so arrogant!

Su Wan, who was following nearby, had a smug look on her face. Once she knew what had happened in the past few days, she would settle the score with Ye Qingluo.

Ye Qingluo looked at these people coldly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. Given the current situation, she could indeed take direct action and teach Chu Beiyu and Su Wan a lesson.

But what Chu Beiyu said was right. The current situation is faced with internal and external troubles. Cuizhu's injuries have not yet fully recovered. Even if Caiyue has helpers, Chu Beiyu is a military veteran after all, so he will risk his life to attack them.

She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to take care of them all at once, and this would only cause more people to get hurt.

The most important things are the appearance of imitations, the release of Su Wan, and Wang Jing from Huichuntang. All of these mean that a bigger battle is waiting for him.

It was not difficult for her to divorce Chu Beiyu, but Wangyue Restaurant and Huichuntang would definitely be thorns in the eyes of these people. The latter was fine, but the former...

"Madam Ye, Dean Sun has found a way to cure the imperial concubine, and would like to invite you to come over."

"it is good."

After getting on the carriage, Su Wan snuggled in Chu Beiyu's arms, her voice full of grievance.

"My Lord, you don't know how much I've missed you these days."

Looking at the weak Su Wan and comparing her with Ye Qingluo's arrogance, Chu Beiyu felt distressed.

"Wan'er, it's my fault that I made you suffer so much."

"After this incident, I will seek justice for you, but..." Chu Beiyu changed the subject and looked at Su Wan with a more intriguing look.

"Wan'er, there is one thing you have to answer me truthfully."

"You really don't know about the assassin?"

"And the replica..."

Su Wan's body stiffened, and she looked a little nervous, especially when she met Chu Beiyu's eyes.

"My Lord... I only learned about the assassin later."

"The Imperial Concubine asked me for beauty serum that day, and I had no choice but to ask my father for help. But I didn't expect them to use such a method."

Su Wan's tears fell, and she leaned into Chu Beiyu's arms and cried, "My Lord, it's Wan'er who has caused you trouble..."
