Chapter 924 The Bai Family’s Witch Takes the Empress’s Seat
Nanny Yun thought to herself, "Why is Madam Peng with the Empress?"
Nanny Yun was so anxious that her palms were sweating. She saw the curtains around the pavilion were lowered to block out the outside view. She became panicked. If she couldn't get things done, would she have to return the silver in her hand?
How could she possibly return the silver? How could she bear to spend so much money? She had already made up her mind that after this was done, she would leave the palace and live a free and carefree life. Concubine Shu threatened her with her family, and she had been prepared for this. With Concubine Shu's intelligence, she wanted to defeat her, but the old one was still the wisest.
If Concubine Shu is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust. Think about it, when Concubine Zhang Jing and Concubine Pan were pregnant, Concubine Shu managed the harem and took care of the two ladies in every possible way. But in the end, both ladies died of complications during childbirth. It was Concubine Shu who made some silent moves, but outsiders couldn't see it.
Having said that, Nanny Yun originally wanted to ask Hua Rui, the maid in Kunning Palace, for help. Hua Rui had received money from Concubine Shu, but for some reason she suddenly couldn't find anyone. She had the medicine hidden in her hand but couldn't find a chance. The people around the queen were too cautious, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Aoxue hid on the other side. She ate melon seeds as a snack while staring at Nanny Yun. Seeing how anxious she was, she wondered whether she should relax the guards and give Nanny Yun a chance to murder the Empress.
Ever since they knew that Hua Rui from Kunning Palace had taken advantage of Concubine Shu, Hua Rui has been under control. Nanny Yun wanted to use the people from Kunning Palace to murder the Queen, but she was simply dreaming. Hua Rui betrayed her master, and how to deal with her was Kunning Palace's own business.
Nanny Yun failed to complete her mission, and the people who asked her to murder the queen should be even more anxious.
Nanny Yun stood there for a while, then turned around and left, and Aoxue followed quietly.
When they arrived at Chengqian Gate, they saw Nanny Yun meeting a man in soldier's uniform.
Aoxue thought to herself, "Just as the Queen predicted, I'm afraid we'll have to catch a lot of ghosts today."
At this moment, a hand suddenly patted Aoxue's shoulder.
But as soon as the man approached Aoxue, she grabbed him with her backhand. Just as Aoxue was about to kill him, the man hurriedly said, "Miss Aoxue, it's me, Shangguan Li."
Aoxue let go when she heard the familiar voice, "What are you doing sneakily, Lord Shangguan?"
"The girl is so angry. Who made her angry?" Shangguan Li said jokingly after a long while: "How could I be sneaky? I am being aboveboard..."
At this time, the noise here seemed to have alarmed Nanny Yun's contact person.
Aoxue suddenly pushed Shangguan Li inward, pressing him tightly against the wall. She covered Shangguan Li's mouth with her hand, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't make a sound."
She didn't notice Shangguan Li's stunned expression and turned to look at Nanny Yun's contact person.
The contact person handed Nanny Yun a coarse cloth package in a stealthy manner, and Nanny Yun carried the package and went back to the harem.
Aoxue left Shangguan Li and chased after the contact person.
Shangguan Li came back to his senses and asked, "What happened?"
Shangguan Li also looked forward and saw that the man was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guard. Why had he never seen this person before? Was there such a person in the Imperial Guard?
Shangguan Li originally hung out with his brothers in the military camp. He called over and asked, "Which camp is that man from?"
His subordinates didn't recognize him either and shook their heads. Shangguan Li reacted quickly and thought to himself that this was not good. How could an unfamiliar person sneak into the palace? This was his dereliction of duty!
Aoxue caught up with the contact, but the man was still trying to get away with it. Aoxue took advantage of the situation and drew the sword from her waist, pressing it against his neck, "You are not a member of the Imperial Guard!"
There was a fierce look in the man's eyes, and he suddenly threw out a handful of drugs. Aoxue sneered, her ancestor made his fortune by making drugs.
What the contact person didn't expect was that the drugs in his hand took a turn and spilled all over himself. The next moment, his head went blank and he fell to the ground.
Shangguan Li caught up and was about to attack, but Aoxue checked and said, "He's passed out. This guy is a spy."
Shangguan Li said, "I have thoroughly investigated. How could there be spies in the palace?"
Aoxue tore open the clothes on his chest, and there was no pattern of Disha Sect inside, so he was not a member of Disha Sect.
But she found a letter on him, which was written "From Empress Jiang herself".
Shangguan Li asked, "Who sent the letter to the Empress?"
Aoxue frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart. She held the letter in her hand and said to Shangguan Li, "I will hand this person over to Lord Shangguan for interrogation."
Shangguan Li said, "Don't worry, Miss Aoxue!"
Before he could finish, Aoxue rushed to the harem with the letter.
Shangguan Li stared at Aoxue's heroic figure in a daze. His subordinate asked, "What are you looking at, Commander?"
Shangguan Li came back to his senses and said to his subordinates with a cold look: "How are you doing your duty? There is an assassin in the palace."
The subordinate glanced at the person on the ground and said, "I have never seen this person in the palace. How could there be an assassin?"
"Investigate, thoroughly investigate the Imperial Palace immediately." Shangguan Li had only been in office for a short time, and he had been dedicated to his work, working tirelessly all day to protect the safety of the Imperial City, never daring to relax for a moment. How could someone have sneaked into the Imperial Palace and...
Wait, today is the emperor’s birthday banquet. The spy must have followed the people who entered the palace to attend the banquet. Aoxue discovered the spy first. Does she know something?
Shangguan Li had the contact person taken to the Sky Prison and locked up, and ordered them to guard the palace strictly to protect its safety. Then he left to find Aoxue to ask for clarification.
As soon as Aoxue arrived in front of Jiang Fenghua, Shangguan Li followed.
Jiang Fenghua had just seen Mrs. Peng off when Aoxue handed him a letter.
"I have read it. There is no poison in the letter. I don't know who sent the letter to Her Majesty?" Aoxue said.
After reading it, Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "Prince Xiao still hasn't given up and has extended his hand to the harem. Even now, Nanny Yun has no chance to attack me. He guessed that Nanny Yun was exposed, so he sent this letter."
Aoxue read the contents of the letter, "He wants to invite the queen to go with him to find the traces of the ancient country of Yinchuan, and he also wants the queen to go with him...Wandering around the world, what kind of letter did she write, what kind of letter is that shameless dirty thing."
Compared to Aoxue's anger, Jiang Fenghua was not affected emotionally. Xiao Shang was thinking about the legend of the ancient country of Yinchuan all day long. It seemed that he wanted to go back to the past and continue to be his King of Beishang.
Jiang Fenghua also felt strange. King Beishang had conquered the world of Great Zhou, so why would he appear here? What made her feel even stranger was why she dreamed of things that would happen in the future, saw the future of Great Zhou, and even saw the scene of the Beixiao Kingdom conquering Shengjing.
At this moment, the guards in the Imperial Garden came over and said, "Empress, please go to the banquet and take a look!"
"What happened?" Jiang Fenghua asked in a deep voice.
"That witch from the Bai family has taken the Empress's seat." The palace maid said anxiously.
