The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

That night, an assassin sneaked into the Lin'an Marquis Mansion. Fortunately, the guards discovered it in time and no one was injured.

The assassination attempt on Marquis Lin'an's mansion and the poisoning of Huo Wuyou in prison were both heard by the Empress Dowager.

After the incident, although the empress dowager was worried about the emperor's illness, she would not allow anyone to attack the Lin'an Marquis Mansion before the case was solved.

So she ignored the opposition and brought Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuhui to Jianzhang Palace for protection.

Over the next few days, the emperor's condition did not improve at all. Except for being awake for an hour or two occasionally, he was asleep most of the time.

After several days of suspension of court, the emperor's illness could no longer be concealed, and rumors of the cause began to spread in the court. It was said that since the Marquis of Lin'an was promoted for saving the emperor, he wanted to make more contributions, and he was not completely sure about the prescription, but he rashly offered it, which caused the emperor's condition to worsen.

As a result, many ministers submitted memorials requesting severe punishment for Marquis Lin'an.

After the emperor woke up, he was furious and confined the empress, who had allowed Huo Wuyou to enter the palace, to Fengyi Palace.

Shen Qingwei and Jiang Xu petitioned for mercy, but were also scolded. Shen Qingwei was even punished by the emperor, who asked him to resign from his post and reflect on his mistakes in the palace for a few days.

Faced with this situation, Gu Shichong wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury, but the uneasiness in his heart made him give up this idea. He only asked the emperor to find out the cause of the incident first and then punish the Marquis of Lin'an to avoid missing out on other people with ulterior motives.

……

That day was late in the night.

Ever since the empress was confined to her house, all palace affairs fell on the shoulders of An Zhaoyi, and she was able to arrange the time for several princes and concubines to take care of the queen.

The person who was originally going to take care of the sick with her tonight was Concubine Xian, but the Fifth Prince might have caught a cold and suddenly had a high fever, so she let Concubine Xian leave first.

It was time for the guards to change shifts, and An Zhaoyi knew that this was her best chance.

The task that Prince Cheng assigned her to do was not supposed to go so smoothly. Unexpectedly, Marquis Lin'an almost sent the emperor away with a dose of medicine, and the empress was confined to her house, and Shen Qingwei was not in the palace either.

Although all this was so coincidental that she was suspicious, she had to take a gamble.

The imperial decree to escort Prince Cheng back to Huajing has been issued. She cannot afford to delay, and neither can His Highness. She must act immediately, and His Highness will have a glimmer of hope.

It was late at night in the Changsheng Palace, the lights were dim and it was silent. An Zhaoyi tucked in the corners of the emperor's quilt and made sure that he was asleep before she tiptoed to search the palace.

After searching everywhere in vain, her eyes fell on the dragon couch.

After making sure that the emperor was asleep, she carefully climbed onto the dragon bed, felt the mattress carefully, and finally felt something hard under the emperor's pillow with her fingertips.

An Zhaoyi's breathing stagnated, and she wanted to take the thing out immediately, but she was afraid of waking up the emperor, so she could only move her hand inch by inch.

She felt cold, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Finally, when the copper lump was taken out, it was soaked with her cold sweat.

In the dim candlelight, the thing glowed coldly.

An Zhaoyi quickly hid the thing in her sleeve, her heart beating like a drum.

She got the tiger talisman... As long as the tiger talisman is delivered to His Highness, he will be able to command the three armies and have the capital for a Jedi counterattack!

It was now time for other concubines to take care of the sick, so An Zhaoyi took her time and left the Changsheng Palace.

On the way back to the palace, her hands couldn't stop shaking.

On a winter night, the moonlight was as cold as frost, and a wisp of white smoke slowly rose from An Zhaoyi's mouth.

The imperial edict to punish His Royal Highness Prince Cheng had been sent out urgently over a distance of 800 miles, but due to a snowstorm on the way, the edict had been delayed halfway. As long as she could send people to bypass the snowstorm area, she could deliver the tiger talisman to His Royal Highness in advance.

Even if Your Highness is accused of treason, it is better than surrendering and waiting to die!

Suddenly, An Zhaoyi stopped, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind her were also confused.

Suddenly, a sharp blade extended from the corner of the palace road, reflecting the cold moonlight, and appeared in front of her unexpectedly.

An Zhaoyi subconsciously took a few steps back and held the tiger talisman in her hand tighter.

The palace maids and eunuchs reacted and rushed forward to protect her.

At the corner of the palace road, a man was seen walking out slowly with a sword in his hand. The boy's childish face was as cold as winter.

An Zhaoyi forced herself to calm down: "Shen Qingwei...you dared to disobey the emperor's order, enter the palace without permission, and threaten the concubines with weapons!"

Why is he here?! Logically, Shen Qingwei should be at home reflecting on his mistakes at this time. If he had gone to the palace, why would no one come to report?

"Could it be that it was His Majesty's will that Empress Zhaoyi stole the military talisman?"

The sudden voice made An Zhaoyi tremble and she turned around suddenly.

I saw a man casually turning a dagger in his hand. Although he was wearing black, which was unusual for him, his features were not any darker than when he was wearing red.

"Marquis Lin'an! You..."

Huo Wuyou just crossed his arms, smiled, and approached leisurely, but An Zhaoyi was almost frightened to the point of collapsing on the ground.

"I should have been behind bars, but unfortunately, I escaped from prison on orders."

He received news in prison that Concubine An had scheduled her time to take care of the sick tonight during the guards' shift change. He roughly guessed that she was planning to take action tonight, and when he learned that she had sent Concubine Xian away, he became even more certain.

The jailer was no match for him, and with the help of Yangui, it didn't take him too much time to escape from the prison.

After escaping from prison, he and Shen Qingwei hid in a carriage and entered the palace through the corner gate.

Today's event was to lure out King Cheng's men, and the news was not leaked, so they were stopped by the guards.

It was only because Xue Zhiyi was holding the Empress Dowager's phoenix seal that the servants began to hesitate.

In order to avoid missing the opportunity, Huo Wuyou knocked several people unconscious during the moment of hesitation.

As he spoke, An Zhaoyi's eyes, which had always been gentle, suddenly changed and became as sharp as swords.

She grabbed a palace maid and threw her at Huo Wuyou. In order to avoid hurting innocent people, Huo Wuyou put the dagger behind him, caught the palace maid again and threw her aside.

In the blink of an eye, An Zhaoyi took the opportunity to escape, but what was unexpected was that An Zhaoyi actually knew martial arts.

She walked lightly and climbed over the palace wall in just three or two steps.

Shen Qingwei said in a deep voice: "Chase him!"

The few guards he brought with him hurriedly chased after him.

Under the moonlight, An Zhaoyi's movements were swift. It seemed that she must have received a lot of training to have such skills.

Huo Wuyou narrowed his eyes, stared closely at the trajectory of her movements, and threw the dagger in his hand out -

"what!"

With a scream, An Zhaoyi's leg was stabbed by a dagger, and she lost her balance and rolled down from the wall.

……

Palace of Eternal Life.

The emperor had woken up and was leaning on the bed, but he was still weak.

Looking at An Zhaoyi, who was tied up and held in front of him, the emperor was furious: "Bitch! You dared to poison me despite my great favor! Tell me, who ordered you to do that!"

After saying that, he started coughing again.

An Zhaoyi had a blank expression on her face, as if she was not intimidated by his imperial power at all, and even had a hint of contempt.

She said coldly: "No one instructed me to do this. From the beginning to the end, I wanted to do this myself."
