Chapter 664 Take action
In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao also heard the footsteps coming from outside. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she knew that there were many guards guarding Jinyang Palace.
Xiao Ceying suddenly strengthened the guard outside Jinyang Palace because he thought about her being kidnapped by Seth in the East Palace last time.
She never wants to meet Seth again in this life, so it is a good thing that Xiao Ce strengthens the guard to make her feel at ease.
In Zhongcui Palace, Wu Xirou also heard about the martial law in the palace. She didn't understand what happened and asked Liuli to find out the news, but Liuli found nothing.
"Not only is martial law in the palace, but the guards have also been strengthened outside Jinyang Palace. It was an order given by the emperor himself." Liuli felt that this was important information.
Wu Xirou's eyes were heavy: "The martial law in the palace is just fine, so why did Jinyang Palace strengthen its guards? Is there someone who wants to harm Sister Qin?"
"Other than that, I can't find any other information. The palace is under martial law and the guards outside Jinyang Palace have been strengthened. I suspect that someone really wants to harm Miss Qin." Liuli and Wu Xirou thought together.
"You should pay attention to the news of Jinyang Palace and tell me immediately if you have anything." Wu Xirou looked at the sky: "It is clearly the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the sky is very gloomy."
If something goes wrong with Qin Zhao, will it be her chance to rise to power?
Wu Xirou's mind wandered a thousand times and she fell on the bed unable to sleep.
Just at this moment, Liuli's voice sounded outside the tent: "Nian Su said that he had something urgent to report to Empress Xiu Rong."
"Nian Su?" Wu Xirou immediately sat up.
She remembered Nian Su. When he entered the East Palace because of her, Nian Su had said that he wanted to cooperate with her and that he could help her.
Today Niansu went to Jinyang Palace to deliver gifts, but she failed in her errand.
"Let her in." Wu Xirou decided to meet Nian Su without hesitating for too long.
She rushed over at this hour and said there was something urgent. Her intuition told her that Nian Su was really eager to see her.
Nian Su soon entered the room and said bluntly: "I have something to say to Empress Xiu Rong alone. I also ask others to retreat."
Wu Xirou looked at Liuli and replied: "Liuli is trustworthy. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Nian Su glanced at Liuli and hesitated for a moment before saying: "The palace is under martial law today, and I suspect that someone has entered the palace. That person is His Highness the Second Prince of Dayuezhi Kingdom!"
"The second prince of the Dayue clan?" Wu Xirou had never heard of this character.
"Empress Xiu Rong entered the palace late. I don't know that His Highness the Second Prince of the Dayue clan was not surprised. Once, His Highness the Second Prince was interested in Miss Qin and kidnapped Miss Qin out of the palace. Although this matter was suppressed at the time
, but I know the truth. The emperor, who was still the Crown Prince, went to Yongzhou for Miss Qin and took Miss Qin back to the palace. However, because the emperor covered up this matter, many people did not know that Miss Qin was kidnapped."
Speaking of this, Nian Su added again: "I think that if His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Dayue clan enters the palace tonight, then the second Prince's target should be Miss Qin."
Wu Xirou's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly understood why Nian Su came to see her so late.
Nian Su once said that she wanted to help her, but she refused. If Nian Su's news this time is true, she might be able to secretly help the second prince of the Dayue clan once, as long as the second prince of the Dayue clan breaks into the Jinyang Palace and is captured.
If someone caught him, wouldn't it make the world think that Qin Zhao was having an affair with the second prince of the Dayue clan?!
"How are you sure that the second prince of the Dayue clan has entered the palace?!" Wu Xirou asked seemingly casually.
Nian Su lowered her eyes and replied: "Because the foreign woman who flattered the emperor in the Baohe Hall today is Princess Sena of the Da Yuezhi Kingdom."
She had met Senna in her previous life, so she recognized Senna at a glance.
But this is the first time for everyone else to see Senna and they don’t know her true identity.
She also remembered that when Sena came to dance to Xiao Ce in the previous life, Seth also quietly came to the Daqi Palace. However, Seth in the previous life had successfully become the king of the Yuezhi, but this time Seth was lame because of his lameness.
After losing his leg, he is still just the prince of Dayue clan.
There were some changes in the plot between the previous life and this life. She felt that the plot in this life might be advanced, so she came to Zhongcui Palace to mention the matter to Wu Xirou.
As for whether Wu Xirou can seize the opportunity and introduce Seth to Jinyang Palace, that depends on Wu Xirou's own plan.
She added fuel to the flames. If Wu Xirou didn't know how to seize the opportunity, she had nothing to say.
"Thank you for coming to Zhongcui Palace so late." Wu Xirou looked at Liuli as she spoke.
Liuli understood and immediately took a bag of gold leaves to reward Niansu.
Nian Su declined politely: "I like Empress Xiu Rong, so I am willing to make this trip. It's night, I won't disturb Empress Xiu Rong's rest, so I will leave."
Wu Xirou saw her red and swollen face and said hurriedly: "Niansu, wait a moment. I have a good snow cream here. Apply it and the redness and swelling on your face will disappear faster."
After that, she asked Liuli to bring the plaster and handed it to Niansu.
This time Nian Su happily took the plaster, thanked her, and left Zhongcui Palace.
After Nian Su left, Wu Xirou said to Liuli: "Go to Changkang Palace now and tell Auntie the Concubine about this matter. Auntie the Concubine will know what should be done."
Liuli was overjoyed when she heard this: "Empress Xiu Rong has finally decided to take action?"
"This is my opportunity, but I shouldn't do it myself. Auntie Toffee once told me that if I have anything to do, I can ask her for help. In this harem, Auntie Toffee still has a lot of connections. Is it safe to ask Auntie Toffee about this matter?"
Wrong." Wu Xirou said sternly: "You need to keep a low profile and don't let anyone discover that you have been to Changkang Palace at this time. Remember that."
"It's okay for me, slave." Liuli knew the matter was of great importance and solemnly agreed.
After that, Wu Xirou had no sleepiness at all.
She couldn't sit still and just wanted to know if Liuli's message was going smoothly.
I don’t know how long I waited, but I saw Liuli turning back in a hurry. She stepped forward and asked, "Have you passed the message to Changkang Palace?"
"Don't worry, Empress Xiu Rong. Empress Dowager Wu has received the news and has given this slave a word to ask Empress Xiu Rong to rest in peace. All other matters can be left to Empress Wu," Liuli replied in a low voice.
Wu Xirou's heart that was hanging in the air finally fell down: "The words of the concubine and aunt are enough."
She is from the Wu family, and what Aunt Toffee values most is the fortune of the Wu family. She is the only one left in the entire Wu family, and Aunt Toffee will definitely help her unconditionally.
This is the tacit understanding between her and her aunt.
If she can eliminate Qin Zhao as her opponent this time, she will have no worries no matter what she does in the future.
I just don’t know how Auntie Dowager will handle this matter.
Because the message was successfully conveyed to Changkang Palace, Wu Xirou could finally rest in peace.
Xiao Ce had moved into Jinyang Palace before, so neither the concubine's aunt nor Seth would choose to attack Jinyang Palace tonight. Now the only thing left is to wait.
