The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Shen Qingyan felt helpless because of Hua Yan's desperate efforts to achieve his goal.

Judging from the injuries all over his body, he must have had a conflict with someone.

"Hua Yan, did you find out anything?"

Hua Yan nodded, not caring about the injuries on her body at all, and said respectfully: "Sister Princess, Hua Yan wants to talk to you alone."

"it is good."

After sending the servants away, Hua Yan said with a serious face and a low voice.

"Sister Princess, someone wants to harm you."

There was a flash of surprise in Shen Qingyan's eyes, and then she motioned for her to continue.

"I entered a palace in the imperial palace and saw Fuling and a woman with phoenix eyes whispering. I went over to listen and heard that they were trying to murder you."

Shen Qingyan almost couldn't maintain her composure.

"You actually entered the palace? How did you get in?"

Hua Yan was still a little embarrassed, "Sister Princess, if I tell you, please don't dislike me."

After she said that, Shen Qingyan became even more curious, "Tell me."

"I saw someone pushing a swill cart into the palace, so I knocked out a young eunuch, hid in the swill bucket, and then sneaked in."

Fearing that Shen Qingyan would despise her, she quickly added: "Don't worry, Sister Princess, I have already washed myself before meeting you."

No wonder she was seen changing her clothes.

Shen Qingyan admired him even more. Not only did he enter the palace, but he was also able to bathe and change clothes when he came back. He came back earlier than Gui Ren and the others, which shows how fast he was.

However, Shen Qingyan's focus is different.

"You're not going to knock someone out with a rock again, are you?"

Hua Yan nodded and said honestly: "I am not used to other weapons..."

OK OK.

"Go on."

"I then knocked out another little palace maid..."

"..."

"After I changed into the clothes of a palace maid, I happened to see a lot of women in a palace. Fuling was there too. A palace maid urged me to pour tea, so I went and saw Fuling whispering to a woman, and I overheard it."

Although she was a little far away, she had excellent hearing and heard everything.

Then he told Shen Qingyan that Fuling asked Feng Yue'er to use gunpowder to blow up Yuxuanyuan.

Shen Qingyan sneered, having already guessed who the woman with the phoenix eyes was.

Hua Yan added, "Just when I was about to knock the woman with phoenix eyes unconscious, I realized someone was following me, so I had to give up."

Shen Qingyan held her forehead with one hand and sighed.

"Hua Yan, you did a great job, but you also have to pay attention to your own safety. You are covered in wounds. If you get injured every time you perform a mission in the future, can your body withstand it?"

Hua Yan raised her little face and said very seriously.

"This minor injury is nothing."

The injuries she had suffered before were several times more serious than this one, but she survived.

"Sister Princess, do you want Hua Yan to deal with that gunpowder girl?"

"No." Shen Qingyan curled her lips slightly, already having a plan in mind, "Let's catch the turtle in the jar."

Although Hua Yan didn't understand what it meant to catch a turtle in a jar, he knew that as long as Shen Qingyan said it, it was right.

"what do I need to do?"

Shen Qingyan touched her head and said, "What you need to do is to help me find a few gunpowder bags that can be mistaken for real ones, so that I can switch them when the time comes."

Hua Yan immediately understood, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

After Hua Yan left, Gui Ren was called in.

He also successfully sneaked into the palace, but unlike Hua Yan, he made use of his superb martial arts.

But he had a shortcoming, which was that it was not easy for him to pretend to be someone else. The eunuch's temperament did not match his, and the guards were in groups, making it difficult to attack him. So he was forced to come out not long after he infiltrated, but he also found out a lot of things.

"The Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards in the palace are clearly divided. Generally speaking, the Imperial Guards are dominant. The Imperial Guards have been severely suppressed, and some are slacking off. The matter concerning Yu Twelve seems to have been suppressed. Many guards only conducted symbolic searches and did not take any substantive actions. So I suspect that there are people in the palace who are in contact with Yu Twelve, otherwise he would not have been able to kill the emperor so easily."

"Not bad." Ghost Blade was able to find out about the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards for the first time he entered the palace. He was also capable, so Shen Qingyan praised him a few times, "You have passed the test. Now I have an important task for you."

"Please give your orders, Princess."

"Go find a few capable people to keep an eye on a woman named Feng Yue'er. If she takes anything suspicious, replace it with her. I will let Hua Yan give you the replaced item."

Ghost Blade understood, "I can do this alone."

"That won't work." Shen Qingyan said with a smile, "You forgot that you have to be by my side at all times and obey my call. I asked you to find someone because, first, you cannot leave your post without permission, and second, I want to see your leadership and organizational abilities."

Ghost Blade immediately understood what he said, "I understand. I will do it right away."

Ghost Blade leaves, followed by Shiso and Shion.

When they learned that Hua Yan and Gui Ren had successfully entered the palace, they suddenly felt a little guilty.

"I am unable to enter the palace due to my limited abilities. Please forgive me, Princess."

The two sisters both pleaded guilty with a sincere attitude.

Shen Qingyan did not blame them, but helped them up with her own hands.

"Everyone has their own strengths. You haven't even told us what you found out, so how do you know your abilities are limited? Tell us what you found out."

Shisu and Shiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they told each other what they had found out.

Although the two's actions were not as fierce as Hua Yan's, they were also simple and rough. They just hid in the alley not far from the palace gate, and when they saw palace maids and eunuchs coming out to do business, they kidnapped them and forced them to tell them all kinds of news in the palace.

The poor palace maids and eunuchs were kidnapped one by one. They had no idea what was going on. Their money and looks were not lost, but they were arrested and interrogated about what was happening in the palace. They were so scared that they even revealed gossip that could not be allowed to be seen in public.

Shisu Shiyuan got a lot of useful information, but she couldn't resist the temptation to eat melons. She listened for a while longer and wasted time.

Most of what they found out were about matters in the harem, such as the Empress and Imperial Concubine Lian.

The Queen worshipped Buddha every day, but she asked Concubine Lian to go with her. Concubine Lian lived in her Kunning Palace. On the surface, the two of them were devoted to Buddhism and as quiet as chrysanthemums. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Concubine Lian was under house arrest by the Queen.

Now that the emperor has passed away, Concubine Lian was sent directly to be buried with him.

In addition, in order to avoid being buried with the emperor, the former concubines in the harem tried their best to curry favor with the queen, and some even asked to go to a nunnery to practice, and the queen agreed.

Now the entire harem has become empty, with only the queen and a few concubines who are willing to stay in the palace and enjoy the company of the Buddha.

Zi Su and Zi Yuan wrote it down and showed it to Shen Qingyan.

Influence of the Harem In the previous dynasty, Shen Qingyan took a rough look and found that those concubines who stayed were not favored, came from poor families or had low positions, and posed no threat.
