I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

90: Section 90”Yes!” Wen Yu nodded. In a deep voice, she said, ”Your Majesty, that half-verse of an untitled, anonymous poem circulating in the capital previously was actually written by Cao Yang...”

That day in the main hall of the Pingyang Marquiss Residence, she had watched the entire scene where Xu Qingyue brought out the poem written by Cao Yang to show Xiao Moran.

After all, with her perception at the Martial Venerable Realm, almost nothing within the Pingyang Marquiss Residence could escape her notice.

”It was actually Cao Yang?” Shangguan Xue, who was standing to the side, was incredibly astonished.

The ’expert’ that she and her father had been searching for for days without success—to think it was actually Cao Yang!

Xu An had actually claimed this ’expert’ was his friend, deceiving her and her father; it was utterly shameless!

”Anything else?” The Empress’s eyes were indifferent. Given that Cao Yang could compose today’s lyric, it was no surprise that he had written that half-verse of poetry earlier.

”There is more...” Wen Yu thought for a moment and added, ”Just a moment ago, Fragrant Pavilion was raided by the Embroidered Uniform Guard under Cao Yang’s orders. This pleasure house is actually a den for the Blood Lotus Cult within the capital!”

”As for that Flower Queen of Fragrant Pavilion, she is actually the Blood Lotus Cult’s Saintess, the White Tiger Lady!”

”It’s just that this news...” ”I was completely unaware of it before...!”

The Empress sneered, ”If you had known, then you would be the one serving as the Commander of the Jinyiwei, not the Marquis of Pingyang!”

”I acknowledge my mistake.” Wen Yu hurriedly lowered her head.

”Alright, you may leave!” The Empress waved her hand. ”I do not employ those I suspect, and I do not suspect those I employ. The Marquis of Pingyang has supported me since I ascended the throne; he is worthy of my trust!”

As she spoke, the Empress looked at Wen Yu with a colder expression. ”In the future, do not play such petty tricks again. Your duty is solely to protect the Marquis of Pingyang.”

”If even the slightest harm comes to him, I will hold you accountable!”

”Yes, I understand...” Wen Yu bowed her head deeply. She had not expected the Empress to favor Cao Yang to such an extent!

How detestable! She had been scolded by the Empress because of him!

Not daring to linger, Wen Yu hurriedly left and rushed back to the Pingyang Marquiss Residence. If anything were to happen to Cao Yang, she would have a hard time answering to the Empress...

On the side, upon hearing Wen Yu’s words, Shangguan Xue was stunned. So Fragrant Pavilion was actually a den of the Blood Lotus Cult? And the Flower Queen Nong Ying was the Blood Lotus Cult’s Saintess, the White Tiger Lady?

In an instant, Shangguan Xue understood. So Cao Yang had intentionally angered her and driven her away; he had done so to protect her...

But... Cao Yang’s cultivation was low, even weaker than hers. Yet he had put himself in danger?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Xue felt even more guilty. She had prided herself on being peerlessly intelligent, yet she had failed to realize Cao Yang’s intentions.

Otherwise... even if she had left, she could have brought troops for him instead of returning directly to the palace!

Sob, sob, sob! She was truly damnable! She had almost caused harm to Cao Yang...!

In the Pingyang Marquiss Residence, within Cao Yang’s courtyard, Ye Liuli had already begun her journey of ’toying with people’.

When Cao Yang arrived, the look in Hua Nongying’s eyes when she saw him was as if she were looking at a savior!

”Marquis, save me...” ”Alright, alright, alright!” ”This Marquis is here to save you...”

... ... [Ding! Host has possessed the Luck heroine Hua Nongying, obtained reward: villain points +120000! Luck +1500! One Saint Rank Cultivation Technique: Heart Cleansing Mantra!]

[And additionally rewarded with a Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifact: Holy Spirit Bodhi Seed (carrying it can protect one’s mind, keep it clear, ward off all techniques, and improve Comprehension Ability)!]

”Are these all for clearing the mind and staying sober?” Cao Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. Was this a precaution against him being seduced by this enchantress?

But... his gaze fell upon Hua Nongying at this moment. This enchanting and seductive enchantress—now—was only left with ’seductive enchantment’...

... The next day at dawn. The sky was just beginning to brighten. At the residence of the Vice Minister of Revenue, Zhang Erhe returned home clutching his waist, only to learn that his only son had been beaten to death at Fragrant Pavilion!
