"Queen Mother Ning." Feng Jiuer frowned slightly, "She is the adoptive mother of the Ninth Prince. She has a very gentle temperament and is polite to others."
"She is an extremely gentle and uncontested harem woman."
"But, it turns out that she is also a master. If I hadn't heard later that she had martial arts skills, I wouldn't have noticed it."
"It's not her own child. Even though Queen Mother Ning raised the Ninth Prince so well, she doesn't look like a bad person."
Qiao Mu pursed his lips and let out a sigh: "Unfortunately, many times, you can't see people's hearts clearly through their faces."
"I know Queen Mother Ning and have spent some time with her. If it hadn't been for that scent, I would definitely not have suspected her."
Feng Jiuer kneaded the letter in her hands, and with a little force, the letter in her hand instantly turned into ashes.
"Zhan Liyue even wiped out the Long family, why is there still a lunatic left? She is so powerful. If she wanted to kill me, I would not be alive until now."
"Although my mother told me many things, I still feel that there are a lot of mysteries in it."
"You put it like that, I still hope that there is just a misunderstanding between General Long and Zhan Liyue." Qiao Mu looked at Feng Jiu'er and frowned lightly.
"Otherwise, you and the Ninth Prince..."
Feng Jiuer looked at her and took a deep breath: "Could it be that I'm really overthinking it?"
She hopes this is a misunderstanding, is it because she is still imagining the possibility of being with him?
Feng Jiuer's mood was a bit complicated. She felt that the wet nurse's death was not that simple, but she was also worried that all her thoughts were just derived from her selfishness.
Qiao Mu stood up and went over to bring a basin of water.
"It's easy to get to the bridge. Don't think so much. You and the Ninth Prince have a bad relationship. Whether it will work out or not depends on the sky rather than the person."
Feng Jiuer put the jade finger in place, put her hand in the basin of water, and washed it.
"What is this mess? All I can think about now is revenge for my mother and the entire Long family."
Feng Jiuer wiped her hands and stood up.
"I heard that Empress Dowager Ning has disappeared. Maybe she is still in the palace. She is perfectly alone and cannot be missing."
"You want to enter the palace again?" Qiao Mu stood up.
"The imperial city is about to be lost. How many guards can be left in the palace? With my skills, it won't be easy to get in?" Feng Jiuer raised an eyebrow and said.
"My mother said that when the two sides fight again, it won't be too late for us to take action. Anyway, we are idle now."
"Whenever I go, I'll go too." Qiao Mu stretched, a little excited.
She didn't come here just for fun. She had had enough rest in the past two days. She couldn't stay in the inn all day eating, drinking and having fun.
"Now." Feng Jiuer dropped the two words and walked towards the bed.
"Now?" Qiao Mu followed her, "Do you think entering the palace is too much fun?"
"The guards will definitely be tighter at night. It will save trouble if we go during the day." Feng Jiuer responded softly.
"Okay then." Qiao Mu raised his eyebrows, "How are we going to get in?"
"Climb the wall, should you take the main entrance?" Feng Jiuer turned his head and rolled his eyes at her.
Qiao Mu shrugged and smiled slightly: "I thought I would take the main entrance."
The two disguised themselves again, left a password for Feng Yandong, and left through the window.
In less than half an hour, people had appeared in the palace.
Feng Jiuer took Qiao Mu to several places and walked into Xuanhua Hall.
Xuanhua Hall, the queen's place, is the largest courtyard in the harem. It covers an unimaginably large area, and the decoration is also magnificent, with glittering gold everywhere.
Unfortunately, except for the two guards guarding the gate, there was no one inside.
Feng Jiuer and Qiao Mu entered through the side wall and walked around half a circle before entering the main hall door.
"No wonder every woman wants to be a queen, the house is so big!" Qiao Mu looked around and sighed.
"This place can accommodate hundreds of us brothers, and it still feels spacious."
Feng Jiuer glanced sideways at Qiao Mu and raised her eyebrows: "The queen's position is still vacant. Do you want to give it a try?"
"No!" Qiao Mu shook his head, "How can I possibly handle someone who Feng Qingyin can't handle?"
"What you said is wrong. In fact, the current emperor is very simple. Feng Qingyin's death is definitely her fault."
Without saying a word, Feng Jiuer walked in.
"Fortunately, she didn't harm the Feng family."
"Then do you want to give it a try? The Emperor will definitely be happy." Qiao Mu followed.
"Stop talking nonsense! We're not here just for fun." Feng Jiuer's voice sounded.
"Yes!" Qiao Mu nodded and started searching seriously.
After searching around the main hall, the two of them came to the largest wing inside.
As soon as she opened the door and walked in, Feng Jiuer frowned.
"What smell?" At the same time, Qiao Mu also frowned.
"This is the smell I'm talking about. It's more fragrant than datura." Feng Jiuer walked in.
"The smell is too strong, I wonder if it's poisonous?" Qiao Mu followed, covering his nose.
Qiao Mu's words made Feng Jiuer immediately alert: "I have smelled this smell on Nanmen Rong, but the smell is not strong."
"Maybe it's been too long since no one has come in here, so the smell will gradually become stronger."
"Whether it's poisonous or not, I'm not sure yet. It's best to restrain your inner breath and avoid inhaling too much."
Feng Jiuer walked inside and opened a window. Qiao Mu nodded and went over to open another window.
The two looked at each other, and Feng Jiuer continued: "Look for where the smell is coming from."
"Okay." Qiao Mu nodded.
Following the smell, Feng Jiuer's footsteps finally stopped beside the bed.
She leaned over and picked up the jade pillow on the bed, lowered her head and smelled it.
"What's going on?" Qiao Mu walked over.
Feng Jiuer raised the jade pillow and looked inside from the side, her crescent eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Sure enough, there is a situation."
Feng Jiuer reached in and took out a cloth bag, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.
"The smell comes from here, but over time, the smell has dissipated a lot."
Qiao Mu took the cloth bag from Feng Jiuer's hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it: "Really? Why can't I smell it now?"
Feng Jiuer rolled her eyes at her and put the jade pillow away.
"The smell wasn't big in the first place. It felt loud when we entered because it was sealed here for too long. The smell I usually smell on Nanmen Rong's body is not strong."
"That's right. If it weren't for your dog nose, you really wouldn't be able to smell this smell." Qiao Mu looked at the bag and nodded.
"By the way, is this thing poisonous?"
"I don't know, take it back and study it." Feng Jiuer took the bag from Qiao Mu and put it in his arms.
"Let's go and look elsewhere."
The two came in quietly and left quietly without causing any noise.
After coming out of Xuanhua Palace, Feng Jiuer took Qiao Mu to Ningxi Palace, and then the two of them left the palace and returned to the inn.
