"Alright, alright, I'll check." When the Imperial Physician Liu heard this, he bowed and checked again.

"Is that true?" This time, the Emperor's surprise was indescribable, if it was just a moment ago, seeing that there was something wrong with his chest, it could have been a coincidence, but Chen Er did not even inspect him, and actually knew immediately that the real cause of death for myriad was at the back of his head?!

"If it really was the Queen Mother who killed him, then that strike at the back of her head must have caused the death of myriad. Why did it suddenly stab into her chest?! Everyone knows that the Queen Mother only has the Golden Phoenix Dagger, so this is clearly someone framing the Queen Mother." At this moment, Ye Lan Chen's voice was somewhat angry and cold. He knew that there was a battle in the imperial harem, but he didn't expect that it would actually be used in such a sinister and vicious way.

At that time, it would be very difficult for Mother to get rid of the suspicion. Even if Father did not punish Mother out of concern for his old friendship, Mother's reputation would still be greatly affected.

How could he control the harem in the future?

"Also, looking at myriad's body, it seems that myriad has been dead for at least four hours." Ye Lan Chen once again pushed Tang Ke Xin's orders and threw out a heavy bullet.

"How?" This time, Imperial Physician Liu was the most anxious, and directly asked without waiting for Emperor to speak.

"After a person dies, their corpse will become stiff, but rigidity requires a process. Within two hours of death, only their face and eyes will become rigid, four hours later, their four limbs will start to become stiff, during Imperial Physician Liu's inspection, This King also checked once, and found that his limbs have become stiff, which means that myriad has been dead for two hours already, and there are already many corpse spots on myriad's neck, which is also two hours after death." The more Ye Lan Chen said, the more he went along, and he spoke clearly.

Previously, when the Imperial Physician Liu was examining him, he had indeed squatted down and pretended to examine him. However, it was all an act, just for the sake of others to see. Actually, he did not understand any of that, he only remembered what Tang Ke Xin had told him just now.

The corner of Tang Ke Xin's mouth raised slightly. She never thought that Yue Yang would actually be quite quick-witted, even knowing how to put on an act.

With things having progressed to this point, the suspicion of the Queen had already been cleared.

"What are you laughing at?" Just that, before her smile could fully bloom, a low and deep voice suddenly sounded out beside her ear. That voice was very low, but it startled Tang Ke Xin.

It was not only because the sound was too sudden, but also because the direction of the sound was very, very close to her, very close by her ear.

Tang Ke Xin subconsciously turned to the side, and then, he actually directly bumped into a chest, and turned directly into an embrace.

Only now did Tang Ke Xin realize that, Ye Lan Jue had already unknowingly walked to her side, and was even standing in a place that could not get any closer, behind her.

That was why she had directly crashed into his embrace.

Tang Ke Xin's heart was beating erratically. She was so close to her just now? She didn't even notice?

Even if there was no sound when he moved, there was always an aura? Why didn't she sense his aura just now?

Is he still human?

"To throw oneself into his arms in such a hurry? "Hrm?" Ye Lan Jue should have already thought that she would have such a reaction, because he was currently standing too close to her, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and his words were clearly ambiguous as well.

She threw herself into his arms? It was clearly him standing behind her that had suddenly made her jump in fright, causing her to instinctively turn around, only to fall into his embrace. Moreover, he was so close to her, so obviously he did it on purpose.

This was clearly a thief calling for a thief.

Because, she had retreated to the corner from the start, and at the moment, everyone's attention was on Ye Lan Chen, so no one noticed their movements.

Ye Lan Jue must have also calculated this point.

Indeed, he was insidious, and indeed, he had fallen into a pit of darkness.

However, what did he want by suddenly leaning over? What does that mean?

When Tang Ke Xin came back to her senses, her first reaction was naturally to leave his embrace, to stay far away from him.

Feeling her reaction, his eyes darkened slightly. He suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on her waist, making it impossible for her to dodge.

This woman had hidden everything from him and avoided him, but she had told Ye Lan Chen everything. She believed in Ye Lan Chen, but not him.

Thus, he did do it on purpose.

Tang Ke Xin was completely shocked, she never thought that his hand would suddenly grab her waist, although he was grabbing from the inside, with her clothes covering her, no one would be able to see anything.

However, how could he dare to do so in such a situation?

Actually, Tang Ke Xin's body hadn't completely turned around just now, but had only turned in the direction of the voice. Coincidentally, Ye Lan Jue was standing on her side, an area that couldn't be near.

However, the direction of Tang Ke Xin's body did not change greatly, and was still facing forward. Ye Lan Jue stood by her side, and from the looks of it, the two of them were only slightly closer to each other.

Ye Lan Jue's hand, which was placed on her waist, visibly tightened.

"Your Highness, do you think that you should avoid arousing suspicion?" Tang Ke Xin was secretly upset, what was this man trying to do? Wasn't it inappropriate to do so?

He really dared to do something like this? Did he not know that he should avoid suspicion?

However, the hand he placed on her waist suddenly tightened with a bit of a punitive force. It made her feel a little bit painful, a little bit itchy, to the point that it was extremely uncomfortable.

His lips were close to her ear, and the word that came out of his mouth was filled with undisguised threat. "Do you think that you and Ben need to avoid suspicion?"

"Clang …" Tang Ke Xin was slightly startled, and immediately replied, didn't she and him need to avoid suspicion? She didn't have any close relationship with him, so of course she needed to avoid suspicion.

However, before she could finish her sentence, she clearly felt him tug on her waist with all his might, causing her body to press tightly against him.

It was the kind that was pressed against his chest from behind because his hand was on her waist, so he used a lot of strength on her waist. Thus, Tang Ke Xin could clearly feel his body being stuck even tighter to the middle of her body.

For a moment, Tang Ke Xin was completely stunned, she was so shocked that she did not dare make a sound, nor did she dare to make any movements, afraid that she would make any noise and attract the attention of others.

Is he crazy?

How dare he? How dare he hug her in this situation?

"You were the one who told Ye Lan Chen all of this." Ye Lan Jue's lips moved closer to her ear, and his soft and gentle voice once again sounded.

Tang Ke Xin's body was obviously stiff, she instantly understood that this was his real goal. When she was standing behind Ye Lan Chen and talking to him, he must have seen it.

"This humble girl doesn't understand …" "Tang Ke Xin subconsciously opened her mouth to refute, as he did not want him to know.

"Don, but, mind." Without waiting for her to finish speaking, his words rang beside her ears once again. That threatening aura seemed to be able to instantly engulf a person, and this woman had undisguised herself in front of Ye Lan Chen, telling him everything, yet she was actually hiding everything from him?

She was really good.

"Why is the Fourth Prince suddenly so powerful and so knowledgeable? This is abnormal. " In the center of the hall, Ming Gui Fei could not help but ask a question as she was unable to accept the change in Ye Lan Chen.

"What is it? Could it be that it is normal for Ming Gui Fei to be carefree and not work? " Ye Lan Chen replied coldly and arrogantly.

"The fourth prince is very smart to begin with, he was just too much of a playboy in the past." Tang Ke Xin suddenly spoke out, agreeing with Ye Lan Chen's words, and then answering Ye Lan Jue's question.

Of course, the reason why she suddenly spoke out so suddenly was to deliberately attract others' attention. Once she spoke, someone would definitely look towards her direction, and she did not believe that Ye Lan Jue would still hug her like that.

Sure enough, the moment she opened her mouth and made the first sound, the hand Ye Lan Jue was holding on to her waist loosened, and in that instant, Ye Lan Jue also retreated, pulling away from her by a little.

However, when his eyes looked at her, they slowly narrowed, bringing with them a danger that would cause one's hair to stand on end.

But, Tang Ke Xin felt that she was already used to it, so, she was not afraid of him, instead, she turned to look at him, and smiled, and deliberately asked: "What does His Highness think of this?"

"Very smart." The third prince didn't have a surprised expression on his face. He answered very quickly and directly.

Only, Tang Ke Xin could faintly hear the feeling of gnashing her teeth. The corner of Tang Ke Xin's lips unceasingly rose as the corner of her mouth unceasingly widened into a smile.

Ye Lan Jue glanced at her, then took a step forward. When he passed by her side, he lowered his voice and suddenly said: "This King, I will take care of you tonight."

"Huh?" Tang Ke Xin was completely stunned, and the smile on her lips also instantly disappeared. He, what did he mean by this?

What did it mean to take care of her at night?

Why did his words sound so strange, so terrifying?

What exactly did he mean by taking care of her at night?
