Only the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion remained indifferent.

It was inconvenient for Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi to leave the palace, but it was also not good to appear too deliberate.

Therefore, three days after Pei Xiao returned to Beijing, Zhang brought her son into the palace and reported the situation to Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi in person.

After listening to Pei Xiao's deployment, Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi finally smiled.

"Brother-in-law has made this arrangement, and the God of Du'e can't clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River! I wonder how she will be able to live a glorious life then!"

Zhang still felt somewhat uncertain:

"But she is a deity after all, with extraordinary power. I am afraid that if she gets angry, she will become violent and hurt Your Majesty."

The eldest prince is just one year old. Without His Majesty in charge, the Imperial Concubine and her son cannot protect the country.

There was another worry that she didn't mention.

After all, the mastermind behind this matter was the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion. She was worried that the abbot of Cihang Temple knew everything and would come to their door and massacre them first.

She didn't think she could survive at the hands of the other party.

She had just given birth to her own son, and a bright future of wealth and glory awaited her, and she didn't want to die young.

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi saw her worry, and patiently took her hand to comfort her, saying with great confidence and determination:

"Sister, you have to believe that there are no gods or ghosts in this world. If there really are, with the number of people who have died unjustly in this palace, wouldn't there be ghosts everywhere long ago?"

Even though she herself was born with a broken back, the atheism of her previous life was still deeply rooted in her bones.

She believes in technological products that transcend the times, and in talented people, but she does not believe that there are really omnipotent gods in this world.

"The palace is different. After all, there is dragon energy to suppress it. Besides, gods are gods and ghosts are ghosts."

Zhang still couldn't be convinced.

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi continued:

"Sister, do you know what the Deity of Du'e told His Majesty? She said that she was a reincarnated deity who had experienced many tribulations. Currently, only part of her power has been restored. She can only return to heaven after completing her merits!"

Her tone was filled with sarcasm and disdain.

Although Emperor Yong'an believed it firmly.

But her previous life came from an era with abundant information, and she had heard of all kinds of strange things.

People's imaginations run wild.

She only heard the lack of confidence in his own strength from the words of this God of Deliverance.

"She said this because she couldn't do many things and was afraid of being exposed in front of His Majesty, right?"

Her tone was so firm that Zhang gradually began to waver.

"Is that true?"

"Of course." Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi whispered, "To be honest, if she is really that powerful and omnipotent, why would she be a national teacher? Wouldn't it be better for her to just charge into the palace and become the empress herself?"

Zhang was so frightened by her outrageous words that she quickly covered her mouth.

"Oh, I'll just say it in front of my sister."

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi flirted and brushed her hand away, continuing, "Anyway, sister, just put your mind at ease. She is not as omnipotent as we thought before."

"At least, she is afraid of the power of the emperor. My brother-in-law's arrangement is enough to ruin her forever."

Zhang still has doubts in his heart:

"If she takes out the elixir, His Majesty may be willing to show some leniency. Then, won't she still have a chance to turn things around?"

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi said confidently:

"Don't worry, sister. As long as my brother-in-law has someone hand over the evidence to His Majesty, His Majesty will never use anything she gives him, and will never let her get close to him again, given his suspicions."

In this way, all threats posed to her by the God of Du'e will be easily resolved.

Zhang's brows relaxed.

"Well, I'll go back and ask your brother-in-law to implement the previous plan immediately."

Zhang returned to the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion and conveyed Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi's intentions to Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao did not shirk his responsibility when he heard this. He immediately arranged for someone to deliver the evidence he had carefully prepared to the Jinyiwei.
