Ms. Yao took the note from Lou Xiaolou's hand, and when she opened it, her fingers couldn't help trembling.

The writing on the note was crooked, and it looked like it had been copied by Lou Xiaolou.

Seeing Ms. Yao staring at the handwriting on the note, Lou Xiaolou explained, "I intercepted this from the carrier pigeon. In order to avoid the other party being suspicious, I put it back after copying it."

Ms. Yao composed herself, "Then how do you know there are other notes?"

"There are signs of being torn on the original document, and I also saw several other carrier pigeons flying by," Lou Xiaolou said, "but those pigeons were closely followed by the Black Snake Guard, so I didn't dare to intercept them."

Lou Xiaolou’s voice was dull, but Ms. Yao could imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.

After Ying Hanri ascended the throne, he set up the Black Snake Guard in the palace, imitating the Black Tiger Army of Lin Shubai, the great commander. However, these people were not soldiers guarding the border, but personal secret guards responsible for protecting Ying Hanri. Among them There are not only high-level practitioners, but also many eunuchs who practice evil arts.

The Black Snake Guards do not need to ask for permission to kill people. As long as they judge that someone is a threat to Ying Hanri's safety, they can kill them first and then report them. This group of people usually walk up and down the Epang Palace, killing people invisible, and they are very sinister existences.

It would take a very brave person to snatch this note from the hands of the Black Snake Guard.

Ms. Yao's heartbeat quickened, her brows furrowed as she looked at Lou Xiaolou, "Even if it is to fulfill His Highness's instructions, have you forgotten that His Highness asked us to remember to protect ourselves first? If you take such a risk, what will happen if something goes wrong?"

The palace in front of her was the place where she had lived for more than ten years, but after returning, Ms. Yao only felt that this place was a gloomy prison, which was extremely strange.

If Lou Xiaolou is caught and she is trapped here alone, life will be worse than death.

"It's okay, I have a sense of propriety," Lou Xiaolou looked at the note in Yao's hand and urged, "Where is His Highness's bag? Take it out quickly and compare it."

Of course he knew that his previous move was risky, but it had been almost three months since they arrived in Afang Palace, and there had been no progress at all on what Ying Baoyue had told him. He was really anxious, so he seized the opportunity and took the risk.

"Here's the tip."

Ms. Yao stroked her chest, untied the complicated knots in her clothes, and took out two sachets from the most hidden pockets of her underwear.

She took out one of them, which was exquisite in style but made of old fabric, and then carefully put it back. The brocade bag looked familiar to him. He didn't know what was in it, but he knew that Ms. Yao had been carrying it with her cherishedly. The most important thing to her.

After putting back her brocade bag, Ms. Yao picked up the other brocade bag with newer fabric in her hand and took out a piece of yellow paper from it.

After unfolding it, I saw that the names of many medicinal materials were densely written on the yellow paper.

"This is written by His Highness himself..."

Lou Xiaolou stared at Ying Baoyue's handwriting on the yellow paper and held her breath.

Ms. Yao was also a little excited. Under the faint moonlight, the two of them carefully compared the contents on the yellow paper and the note.

After a while, Ms. Yao raised her head and looked directly into Lou Xiaolou's eyes.

"Right."

The names of medicinal materials were also written on the paper Lou Xiaolou brought. Ms. Yao and Lou Xiaolou were not medical experts, but they were both literate.

The handwritten names of the medicinal materials on the kit that Ying Baoyue gave them were all arranged in categories, and each medicine had its own function and annotations.

Through comparison, Ms. Yao quickly found out which category the medicinal materials on the note Lou Xiaolou brought belonged to.

Looking at those words, her voice trembled a little.

"Urge, induce labor."

When Lou Xiaolou heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Have you seen any clues when you stay next to the Queen?"

Previously, Ying Baoyue arranged for them to go back to Qian Qin to inquire about information and divided the work for them. They followed Ying Baoyue's arrangement and after a period of extremely hard work, they finally ambush into their current location.

Empress Yao took over the identity of another palace maid, entered the Linhua Palace where the Queen of the Former Qin Dynasty lived, and became the maid of Linhua Palace.

And he took over the identity of a military attache and became a guard outside Linhua Palace.

It is dangerous to assume the identity of others, so they initially replaced the marginalized people in Linhua Palace. Because there were still many people in the palace who knew them, they all wore human skin masks made by Ying Baoyue.

But it has to be said that Lady Yao was more capable than him in the palace. In less than two months, she changed from a peripheral maid responsible only for cleaning to a personal maid of Queen Yelujing, and was deeply trusted by her.

He could only stay on the periphery and intercept some secret messages at most. Lou Xiaolou had previously thought of sneaking into the Black Snake Guards in order to obtain more information, but was forced to give up after Ms. Yao tried her best to stop him.

Lou Xiaolou looked at the note in Official Yao's hand. The letter he intercepted today was actually written by the Queen of the former Qin Dynasty.

Although Yelujing was a serious queen, during the time they lived in Linhua Palace, they each discovered something unusual about this queen.

As a pregnant woman, Yelujing would not call the imperial doctor immediately once she felt unwell. Instead, she would only go to two people.

One person is Shi San, the deputy commander of the Black Snake Guards specially sent by Ying Hanri to protect Yelujing.

The other person is named Jinyun. This person has a great background. He is a warlock. It is said that he can communicate with gods and talk to immortals in the sky.

This person has been in Epang Palace for less than a month, but he has already been regarded as a guest by Ying Hanri. He has to see this person every day to discuss immortal magic. He even opened a special stage for this person in Afang Palace, called Peng.

Come to Taiwan.

Ying Han gave Jinyun a thousand taels of gold and asked him to refine elixirs on this platform. A few days ago, he told the ministers that he would be named a national master.

As a border guard, Lou Xiaolou knew about this because an old minister heard this and hit a pillar in the main hall. Although he did not die on the spot, at the age of the old minister, he was far away from death.

Not far away either.

This incident also caused uproar in the city.

However, as the guard of Linhua Palace, Lou Xiaolou has never seen Jinyun with his own eyes.

When Yelujing had abdominal pain or physical discomfort, she would ask someone to invite Jinyun, but Jinyun never responded. She only sent people to politely decline the queen's invitation, usually saying that she was busy refining elixirs or asking the queen to find the imperial doctor.

.

Queen Yelu couldn't call Jinyun, so she had to call Shi San, who was responsible for protecting her. And she usually only asked Shi San to do one thing, which was to deliver a message outside the palace.

The Queen of Qin Dynasty was actually able to send the letter outside the palace. Lou Xiaolou was shocked when she first found out about it.

What is even more shocking is that the matter of Shi San helping Queen Yelu deliver the letter was hidden from Ying Hanri.

As for why the secret guards sent by Ying Hanri bypassed his master...

Although Lou Xiaolou didn't understand the affairs between men and women, he was too sharp-eyed and had the misfortune to hear the truth after Shi San entered Linhua Hall.

If he guessed correctly...
