The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muxi's pulse and symptoms were exactly the same. The master and servant had escaped for the time being and could go to the hall to wait for interrogation with the guests.

In the banquet hall, Mao saw Yan Muxi coming in with red eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Sister Qian, what happened?"

Yan Muxi glanced at the Shengjing guards behind her and wiped away her tears again, "Sister Mao, please stop asking. If you continue asking, I will be so embarrassed that I won't be able to live anymore!"

After learning the reason, Mao took Yan Muxi's hand and comforted her gently, "Sister Qian, don't worry too much. Shengjing Guard is under the jurisdiction of the Neiji Pavilion. The Neiji Pavilion has strict discipline and will not spread rumors. Sister Qian, just think of it as a nightmare. When you wake up and take it easy, nothing will happen."

Yan Muxi wiped away her tears and said, "I am a simple-minded person. I don't think reputation is very important to me. I am just worried that I will run into this kind of bad thing and get into trouble. I may even lose my life."

"Oh~ Everyone tells you not to worry too much, Sister Qian. The Empress Dowager is kind and will never wrongly punish an innocent person. As long as Sister Qian is innocent, nothing will happen." Mrs. Mao comforted her patiently.

Yan Muxi's face was still panicked, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. No one knows the Grand Empress Dowager better than us, the noble families." Mao lowered her voice, "To be honest, if the Grand Empress Dowager wasn't a woman, how could anyone else get the throne? Without the Grand Empress Dowager, we women wouldn't have the good life we ​​have today. We would still be bullied and oppressed by men as before."

What Mao said was the truth. Before the Empress Dowager came to power, the status of women in North Vietnam was even lower than it is today. Even the legal wife could be beaten, scolded and driven around by her husband at will.

Although the status of women in North Vietnam is still low today, it is much better than it was decades ago. The wife has a certain degree of power and status, and many women can manage the household and do business in public.

The Queen Mother single-handedly changed the lowly status of North Vietnamese women, and she is definitely a legendary figure whose name will go down in history.

But the more powerful the Queen Mother of North Vietnam is, the more dangerous it will be for Yan Muxi at the moment.

Because she was not innocent, it was she who took Yuechan away and hid her. She did not have absolute confidence in passing the current hurdle.

Today, in addition to Yu Shui and the coachman, Shunzi was also arranged to guard in the dark.

After Yan Muxi gave Yuechan some blood-solidifying pills, he asked Shunzi to take her away. Due to time constraints, the bloodstains on the carriage could not be cleaned up in a short time.

Fortunately, her period was about to come, and taking the pills could bring her period forward. Her excuse for leaving early was also the menstrual period syndrome.

At present, he has been able to get away with it by giving his confession, but the scary thing is that he will not be able to avoid the next round of interrogation.

At nightfall, the assassin was not caught, and the guests who came to the banquet were not allowed to return home and were arranged to stay in the princess's mansion.

Yan Muxi and his servant were arranged to live in the courtyard closest to the outer courtyard, together with two guests who had left the house early during the day, and they were treated as key targets of surveillance.

The lights in the Princess's Mansion were on all night, and most people could not sleep for fear of being dragged into the vortex.

Yan Muxi was also worried. She took a short nap, but found it difficult to fall asleep again after being awakened by a nightmare. Yin Xia was not around, and there was no one to talk to in the dead of night. She could only open and close her eyes until dawn.

After breakfast the next day, Pavilion Master Xiao came to the courtyard in person to invite her, saying that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her.

She hurriedly packed up and followed the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager was staying.

After arriving at the main hall, the eunuch went into the inner hall to report, while the master and servant waited in the outer hall according to the rules.

After a while, the door curtain of the inner hall was lifted. Yan Muxi raised his eyes to take a look, then quickly lowered his eyes and knelt down to salute.

"Greetings to your Excellency!" She tried her best to suppress it, but her voice was still trembling and floating.

The person who came out was none other than Yu Wantai, the current deputy head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Yu An.

He stood five steps away from Yan Muxi and asked calmly, "Are you Qian Sanniang, the wife of the Qian family?"

Yan Muxi tried hard to suppress her pounding heart and stop her voice from trembling. "Your Excellency, I am Qian Sanniang, the female manager of Xianzitang."

"The Queen Mother wants to see Madam Qian. Madam Qian, please follow me to the inner hall." Yu Wantai turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. His attitude was cold and no different from his usual attitude towards others.

Yan Muxi stood up and walked inside. When he passed Yu Wantai, he pretended to glance at him casually.

No matter how well Yu Wantai concealed it, he could not hide the surging emotions in his eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Yan Muxi's heart trembled violently.

The self-righteous bastard must have recognized her!

I hope her sudden intrusion won't cause any trouble for the dog.

In the inner hall, the eldest princess and Princess Nishang were both there. The faces of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were filled with smiles, and the atmosphere was not as cold as Yan Muxi had imagined.

"I, Qian Sanniang, greet the Empress Dowager, the Princess, and the County Lord." She stepped forward and performed the highest respects.

After a moment of silence, a deep, elderly female voice came from above, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Yan Muxi stood up as she was told, and then stood properly with a frown on her face.

"I have long heard from Nichang that the female manager of Xianzitang is a woman of great ability. After meeting her today, I can see that Madam Qian is indeed a wonderful person who is efficient and capable."

Yan Muxi smiled slightly and replied respectfully, "Grand Empress Dowager, you are too kind. I am just a little bolder and more eloquent. These are just little tricks that are not presentable. They are not considered as great abilities."

"Madam Qian earns money with her own ability, how can it be considered not presentable? Many men cannot provide their wives, children and mothers with a rich life. Madam Qian can earn money with her own ability, which means she is better than most useless men. Don't be so modest." The Empress Dowager's tone was soft and warm, like an elder chatting with her own juniors.

Hearing this compliment, Yan Muxi's tense body visibly relaxed, "Thank you, Grand Empress Dowager, for your compliment."

"Isn't it too much praise this time?"

Facing Yan Muxi's frightened eyes, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face widened, "Madam Qian is really a wonderful person. No wonder Nichang is willing to deal with a merchant girl like you."

Princess Nichang interrupted at the right time, "Nichang said long ago that Madam Qian was a wonderful person, but the Empress Dowager didn't believe it. Now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she finally believes it, right?"

The Grand Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Nichang, you are older than Madam Qian, but you are not as steady as her. I am old, and I like the younger generation who are steady and reliable. After seeing you today, I really like Madam Qian. I wonder if Madam Qian is willing to enter the palace and stay by my side?"

Yan Muxi looked up in surprise, but then looked embarrassed again, "If I say I don't want to, will the Empress Dowager punish me?"

"I am also made of flesh and blood. I cannot be as cold and hard as stone. If I am rejected, I will naturally be sad and unhappy. But there is no need to punish Madam Qian for such a trivial matter." The Empress Dowager said that she didn't care, but her eyes turned cold in an instant.
