Wang fu.

Ye Chen's vegetable garden.

Wang Qinglong and the four of them, each wandering in the vegetable garden, faced with a large number of ingredients they had never seen before, they looked at this and tasted that, and from time to time they were amazed and surprised.

Ye Chen is stir-frying.

The empress and Tang Qian were sitting on the edge of the stone table in the pergola, chatting while watching Ye Chen stir-fry.

Bai Hu and Zhang Xuanwu had already disposed of the bodies of the two brothers, Zhang Feng and Zhang Lei, and threw them at the door of the Netherworld Treasure Pavilion.

According to the two, when they threw down the body, the people next to them were terrified.

And the people of the Netherworld were even more frightened.

Their immediate boss is dead!

The identities of Zhang Xuanwu and Baihu undoubtedly show that Zhang Lei and the two died at the hands of the royal family.

This is hard for them to accept.

The dignified Netherworld Elder and the powerhouse of the Lingyun Realm actually died in the Great Xia Imperial City?

The Great Xia royal family, how dare they do it?

What the hell is going on!

Doesn't the Empress of Great Xia want to live a good life?

The task of capturing Ye Chen is not qualified for everyone to know.

In fact, except for the Zhang Feng brothers, no one else received any news.

Therefore, when the corpses of the two appeared, those people in the Netherworld Mansion were directly stunned.

And when the White Tiger ordered them to leave the imperial city within three days, the group of people were a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Listen?

Or don't listen?

Listen to the words, the leader of the Netherworld Mansion in Great Xia was killed, and the rest of the people were expelled, leaving the Great Xia Imperial City in ashes, where is the face of the Netherworld!

If you don't listen, what will happen to you?

They don't know.

Finally, before White Tiger and Zhang Xuanwu left, someone bold stood up.

They relied on the prestige of the Netherworld to question the two of them.

And in the name of the Netherworld, put pressure on the two.

Then, decisively beaten half to death!

The rest of the people didn't dare to make a sound anymore, but just nodded again and again, promising to leave the imperial city as quickly as possible.

Face?

It's all at this time, what kind of face is there to talk about.

If you don't go, you won't go!

Decisive life matters.

Even if they want to regain face in the future, it's not their business.

As long as they report the matter, there will be a strong person to deal with it.

After the matter was dealt with, Ye Chen invited everyone to eat at home together, and said that he would cook it himself.

The surprised Wang Qinglong and the four of them naturally would not refuse.

They were also very curious that Ye Chen could cook!

Especially when they knew that the empress had been with him for several days, they couldn't wait to taste it.

Ye Chen spoke, and of course the empress agreed.

In fact, the relationship between her and Wang Qinglong is much closer than that between the others.

This is her true lineage.

It was a person who followed her from the time of his fugitive, accompanied him from birth to death, and made great contributions.

In addition, there is not much difference in age, so the relationship between them is more like a friend than a superior.

In other words, in formal settings, they are monarchs and ministers.

In private, it's much more casual, more like an old friend.

The empress will summon Wang Qinglong in Fengqi Palace, which is the most obvious manifestation of the good relationship between them.

You know, that's the Empress's bedroom!

But not everyone is qualified to be summoned by the empress there.

Unless you are particularly close to someone, you will not have the opportunity to take half a step!

And when Wang Qinglong saw Ye Chen for the first time, he ignited his heart of gossip and asked about the relationship between the empress and Ye Chen, which was also one of the manifestations.

It is a great sin for a courtier to criticize the monarch.

Normally, no one would do it.

Even if it is, it will be in private, and it is impossible to talk to strangers.

Wang Qinglong said it, which shows that he is not afraid of affecting his relationship with the empress, and the empress will not worry too much about him.

And the empress said that he would arrange the relationship between her and Ye Chen, naturally because they knew each other very well.

With this relationship, it's naturally okay to eat together.

Anyway, in the past, they used to eat together.

"Senior Tang, can you tell me, how did you and Ye Chen meet?"

After chatting casually for a while, the empress inadvertently changed the topic and finally talked about it.

Tang Qian glanced at her with a smile.

The empress's expression was as usual, as if she was saying it casually, and the clouds were light and light.

"There's nothing you can't say. ”

Tang Qian said with a smile: "I met when I was in Xujia Village, and then I met." ”

"It's that simple?"

The empress raised her eyebrows.

"It's as simple as that. ”

Tang Qian said, looked at Wang Qinglong, who was picking chili peppers not far away, and said with a smile: "Your subordinate knows." ”

"Is that so?"

When the empress heard this, she didn't doubt it, but she was very puzzled, "Then according to this, the relationship between you and Ye Chen shouldn't be very close, why do you still recognize him as a younger brother?"

This question is critical.

Between Ye Chen and Tang Qian, there is no basis for communication, and there should not be such a relationship.

Unless, without Wang Qinglong's knowledge, Ye Chen had an unknown communication with her.

"He looks a lot like an old man of mine. ”

Tang Qian said, a trace of memory flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and then she continued: "In addition, he is also very different from other men, it is easy to attract people's attention and have a good impression, don't you think?"

The empress's pupils shrank.

Tang Qian really knew something about Ye Chen.

At least, she knew that Ye Chen had a lot of secrets!

"Is it because of this that the predecessors recognized Ye Chen as their younger brother?"

The Empress asked.

"Sort of. ”

Tang Qian smiled, ignoring the trap in the empress's words, "I came to him because I took a fancy to his special ability, and I wanted him to help with something." ”

"Is that so?"

The empress was thoughtful.

After a while, she asked, "It's convenient for seniors to tell me, do you need his help?"

This time, Tang Qian chuckled and shook her head.

The empress pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

In this way, it must be a big deal.

That's right, if it's an ordinary trivial matter, with Tang Qian's strength, there is no need for Ye Chen to help him.

Ye Chen turned his back to them to stir-fry, and the conversation between the two did not shy away from him, and he naturally heard it.

As for Tang Qian's honesty, he appreciates it.

When she found the imperial city, she asked him for help, and the empress asked and said directly, she was not afraid of causing him unhappiness, and she was indeed open-minded.

However, she helped him a lot, and he needed to reciprocate.

It makes sense.

He had already made up his mind to help Tang Qian.

For her honesty, but also for her life-saving grace.

Of course, help is help, he won't help with everything brainlessly, it has to be within his ability.

If the risk is too great, he will still give up.

There are many opportunities to repay, but if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, he doesn't want to be saved just once, so he will take it back.

That's not worth it!

"Senior, your strength is so strong, you should have cultivated for many years, right?"

The empress changed the topic lightly and asked, "When you saved me a few years ago, you could already kill the late stage martial artists of the Skyscraping Realm in seconds, I don't know how long it took you from the beginning of your cultivation to the present?"

Ye Chen heard these words in his ears.

What does the empress mean by this, is she planning to ask for advice on cultivation?

"It's been a long time. ”

When Tang Qian heard this, she smiled and said, "It's so much that I can't remember the years for a long time, in short, it's a time beyond your imagination." ”

"Huh?"

The empress was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is this so? Does that mean that you are very old?"

Ye Chen: "......"

What does this mean?

"Sort of. ”

Tang Qian was indifferent.

"I see. ”

The empress nodded and said, "In this way, you may be my grandmother's generation or even my grandfather's generation, I didn't know much before, but I was rude." ”

"Originally, I wanted to be cheeky and call you sister, but now, I'm a little embarrassed. ”

The empress smiled, her face a little reserved.

Ye Chen: "???"

He was tempted to ask, are you sure what you said is true?

How does Ye Chen think, the empress is reminding Tang Qian both inside and outside of her words, you are very old!

What is the purpose?

Could it be that she wants to tell Tang Qian that she recognizes him as a younger brother, which is very shameless?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's spatula paused.

No way?

Are women so scary?

Probably not.

Well, probably he was overthinking.
