What happened in Chenxi Palace did not escape the notice of the concubines in other palaces. For safety reasons, Nanny Wang also visited all the palaces. Fortunately, after a thorough investigation, nothing happened in other palaces.

Concubine Song Shufei, Gao Qingtong and others also came to Chenxi Palace to express their concern and condolences. It was the first time for everyone to know that it was possible to poison and kill people in this way. Everyone was scared and terrified.

In Chaoyang Palace, Shu Yan heard about what happened in Chenxi Palace. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. How could someone enter the palace to assassinate the queen and the royal heir? She asked her trusted nanny to go to the laundry department to inquire about Xin'er's whereabouts, but she didn't find her.

There were many palace maids in the laundry department who were family members of criminals and were demoted to do rough work. It was impossible for them to come and go as they pleased. In one day, many people were missing from the laundry department, and it was the emperor's guards who came to pick them up personally.

Shu Yan realized it belatedly and murmured to herself, "Xin'er couldn't be the murderer of the Queen and the Empress!"

Shu Yan even thought inadvertently, "Xin'er is so beautiful, she must have something to do to get close to me."

She realized later that the two slaps that the Queen had Nanny Wang give Xin'er were too light. It turned out that she wanted to use her to climb the throne and leave a good impression after the success. Or maybe Xin'er was someone who wanted to harm the Queen, otherwise why would she suddenly disappear?

Shu Yan was also puzzled.

On the other side, Helan Yanran took the kite she got back from Commander Shang back to her room, only to find out that she had made a mistake. This kite was not hers at all. Although the color and appearance were similar, the pattern on it was not necessarily the same, and there were even two lines of poetry on it.

She silently chanted: "It is hard to express my deep love for you in the palace, I wish you would always be by my side."

Which palace maid in the deep palace is missing you?

Helan Yanran has a secret in her heart, a secret between her and the emperor.

She remembered that night the Empress Dowager had someone help her bathe and change her clothes, and she was carried naked into the Palace of Heavenly Purity...

Even though she took off all her clothes and lay in front of the emperor, the emperor only glanced at her coldly, "Did the queen mother ask you to come?"

She was extremely shy, thinking that she had finally gotten the emperor's favor, but the emperor's next words made her feel ashamed.

His voice was cold, without any lust, "I won't touch you, you go to sleep, someone will take you back at five o'clock."

Helan Yanran was stunned, her eyes red. She tried her best to endure and asked why, but until now she has not received an answer from the emperor.

The next day, a drop of blood on the handkerchief was brought to the empress dowager. The empress dowager was overjoyed and prayed that she would conceive an heir as soon as possible. How could she conceive an heir when the emperor hadn't even touched her?

She didn't dare say a word because the emperor said two more words to her, "Keep it secret." As if to warn her.

Helan Yanran immediately understood that the emperor would never listen to the empress dowager's arrangements. She thought that since she had the empress dowager as a strong backer like Tang Qianran, she could get a status like Concubine Tang by getting pregnant. In fact, she was wrong.

Tang Qianran relied on the empress dowager to ascend to the throne, but ended up with a miserable end. Her son died, and she was sent to the cold palace, where she would spend the rest of her life.

Now the power of the harem has fallen into the hands of the Queen again. What is the Queen Mother? She controls the Jingshifang. Whether she can be favored by the Emperor in the end depends on the Emperor's will.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day was the day when the Ninth Princess was getting married. Jiang Fenghua attended the wedding in her best attire. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was going to give birth in another month.

Looking at the grand wedding in front of her, she always had a smile on her lips. Xie Ling'er wanted to kill her and the child, and Xie Shang dealt with her maid and the secret sentry planted in the palace by the Su family. He thought this was his explanation to her.

Jiang Fenghua did not argue anymore. Xie Ling'er was about to disappear from under her nose, and she should be happy.

Xie Ling'er, wearing the most noble princess costume of the Great Zhou Dynasty, walked in front of her. There was no light in her eyes anymore, as if she would rather die than live. She knelt down to Jiang Fenghua according to the rules and said, "Farewell to the Queen."

She took the tea from the tray that Mammy brought and brought it to her.

Xie Shang was sitting on the side in a bright yellow dragon robe. After not seeing her for more than 20 days, he suddenly took her hand and said softly, "Ninth sister is getting married. The Queen and I should be happy for her."

Jiang Fenghua heard the hidden meaning and the smile on her lips deepened. She knew that the palace had been very quiet for the previous month and Xie Ling'er's situation in the palace had not been spread out. She was just waiting to be married.

Now there is no more spirit in Xie Ling'er's eyes, and she can't cause any waves.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then took the gift and handed it to her, saying a few insincere blessings.

After the ceremony, the Hu prince personally took her out of the palace. Before leaving, Xie Ling'er turned her head and looked at Jiang Fenghua deeply. She probably wanted to avenge Su Tingwan and the Su family, but she didn't have the ability, so the last look she gave her was not one of hatred, but confusion and uncertainty.

A month was enough time for her to think it through. She didn't even know whether she should hate Jiang Fenghua.

What she couldn't understand even more than Jiang Fenghua's scheming was her royal brother's intention. Why did he send her to marry when he clearly didn't agree?

Xie Ling'er didn't know that she was just a link used by Xie Shang to eliminate the Hu tribe. He would never blush for unilaterally tearing up the agreement and attacking the Hu tribe. He was determined to unify the northern border.

Jiang Zhiqin would become famous for recovering and destroying the Hu tribe. At the age of seventeen, he was named General Weihu and stationed in the northern frontier to continue training soldiers. The northern frontier was indeed a treasure land for training soldiers.

Having said that, Xie Shang personally sent Xie Ling'er to marry, and the whole Shengjing city was in an uproar again.

Jiang Fenghua stayed in the palace. She stood on the high imperial city and overlooked the grand scene downstairs.

At this moment, she seemed to see a group of strange people appearing in the crowd. The person in the middle was wearing a veil and squeezed in the middle of the crowd. The people next to him were wearing ordinary people's clothes. Their eyes were not on the Ninth Princess's wedding car, but glanced around, as if they were always alert and on guard.

Jiang Fenghua stared at the heads and said coldly, "Su Qingqing finally showed up."
