Queen Mother Shen looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's send Mrs. Anguo out."
Aunt Lu bowed in agreement, but Mu Yunhan refused to leave: "The Queen Mother, those people are cruel and resolute in their methods. Please make arrangements for them immediately, otherwise I am afraid that the news will be leaked or things will go wrong."
Queen Mother Shen was a little embarrassed.
Although she can mobilize the imperial guards, she will definitely alarm the emperor.
If only one or two are mobilized, we are afraid that these people are not strong enough and will cause harm to themselves if things go wrong.
Mu Yunhan didn't care so much at this time, and said: "You can ask Elder Wu to cooperate in handling this matter."
Empress Dowager Shen was hesitant.
This is a common problem among superiors.
After all, it is unbelievable no matter how you look at it, a princess was tricked by someone in the palace and turned into a traitor and villain.
Mu Yunhan looked at her sincerely and said softly: "Empress Dowager, others misunderstand us. Although we are sad, we are not desperate. This is all because of you.
Those people promised to restore A Yuan's talent. If I had selfish motives, I would not have told you about this. Wouldn't this be depriving myself of the most powerful protection?"
Queen Mother Shen closed her eyes and sighed: "As you said. Aunt Lu, go and arrange this matter yourself."
No one expected that this thing would happen so quickly.
The fifth watch is the most chaotic and busy time in the palace.
When the emperor is about to go to court, most of the concubines in the palace have to get up, pass water and meals, change shifts, and all kinds of chaos.
Concubine Zhou was not in good health, so her daily life was different from that of other concubines.
But she can sleep peacefully, but the palace attendants in her palace cannot. Everything must be done according to the rules.
The nun who was on duty the night before entered quietly, opened the curtain and took a look.
Seeing that Concubine Zhou was sleeping peacefully, she withdrew and whispered to the palace attendants to watch over her while she went to wash up and eat.
Concubine Zhou has always been a soft-spoken and good-natured person, and the people in the palace are not very afraid of her.
When the nuns sent by Empress Dowager Shen were there to hold them down, everyone still performed their duties well.
Now that the aunt has left, the young palace ladies immediately relaxed and leaned lazily against the door, whispering and laughing, yawning and stealing food.
No one noticed that a figure entered the room quietly.
The room was dim and the tent was blurry. One could vaguely see Princess Zhou lying on her side, sleeping soundly.
His hand was like lightning, and he touched Zhou Taibin's sleeping point, and then gently laid her down.
He skillfully took out a piece of bamboo and stuffed it into Concubine Zhou's mouth, pried open her teeth, then took out a bottle the size of a finger, removed the cork, and poured something into her mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Taibin, who was originally unconscious, suddenly grabbed his wrist, snatched away the bottle, and at the same time, she grabbed his throat and pushed him down on the bed.
The lights suddenly turned on, and a group of people walked in, headed by none other than Queen Mother Shen herself.
The man panicked and wanted to commit suicide, but his jaw was removed. The "Concubine Zhou" who was pressing on him slapped him in the face, so hard that he couldn't recognize the north, south, east, west, and stars in his eyes. How did he get tied up? Do not know at all.
Someone took the bottle and checked it, and after confirming it, he said, "It's shadowless water."
Shadowless water is highly poisonous and smells like bitter almonds. Drinking it can kill people instantly and make medicine useless.
Queen Mother Shen sat down on the chair and said solemnly: "Push the prisoner forward."
