Chapter 165 The Five Powers of Imperial Concubine* (5)

After seeing Xiao Dingyuan off, Xiao Fuzi walked into the study respectfully. His gaze lingered on Xiao Guixi for a moment, then he lowered his head and walked aside, speaking softly.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has already left. He knows how to read people's expressions and will not let your Majesty down, nor will he cause any trouble for the Imperial Concubine."

However, Xiao Guixi frowned: "Who said I did this for Song Yuesheng?"

Xiao Fuzi was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had misjudged the emperor's intention, and for a moment he was at a loss.

He knelt down hurriedly.

"Get out." Xiao Guixi squinted his eyes and said coldly.

Xiao Fuzi quickly nodded and said yes.

Xiao Guixi walked to the window and looked somewhere, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.

the other side.

The three princes walked side by side on the way back to the palace, but the expressions on their faces were different, hiding their inner calculations.

The Fifth Prince suddenly stopped and turned to look at the Ninth Prince, with a glimmer of inquiry in his eyes: "Ninth brother, what do you think he wants to see us?"

Ever since Xiao Guixi took the throne, the surviving princes have been drifting away from him.

He had spies in the palace, and Xiao Guixi could also place people in his house.

But tonight, his spies did not inform him in advance, so something very urgent must have happened in the palace.

The Ninth Prince smiled slightly and shook his head in a mysterious manner.

"How can we, as brothers, easily figure out what's going on in the palace? However, I think the wind tonight seems a little unusual."

The twelfth prince interrupted with a hint of contempt in his tone: "Why do you two royal brothers have to beat around the bush? I think everything tonight was a big show carefully planned by that person."

The Ninth Prince was slightly stunned, then turned to look at the Twelfth Prince, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, the twelfth prince smiled softly: "Alas, no matter how this play is played, the sixth brother must know more than us. Two royal brothers, I will leave first."

At this moment, the sound of palace maids talking came from the palace wall.

"Sister Chunmei, Yuhu Lake is just ahead. I just saw a lot of imperial guards coming from there. It's so scary. If you're not careful, you'll lose your life. Sister, don't go and die!"

"Who said I was going to Yuhu? The Imperial Concubine has been in a bad mood lately, so she asked me to go to the Plum Garden to pick some fresh plum blossoms to make tea."

"So that's how it is. Sister Chunmei, can you ask Concubine Wen to transfer me away from the Buddhist temple? I can go to Ronghua Palace and be a servant."

"It is your blessing to clean the Queen Mother's Buddhist temple. But if you dare to tell others that you have seen me..."

"Don't worry, Sister Chunmei. I will keep my mouth shut."

As the voice fell, a little palace maid holding a small box came out from the shadows.

The little maid saw the three people and knelt down to salute: "May the prince be well."

"Which palace maid are you from? Don't you know that after midnight, palace maids are not allowed to move around freely in the palace?"

"Fifth Prince, please spare my life."

The little palace maid was so frightened that her shoulders trembled and she fell to the ground flat on her face.

"I am Cuiyun, a low-ranking maid in the Buddhist temple. Eunuch Feng asked me to go to the inner chambers to replace the sandalwood box for storing incense."

The Fifth Prince's eyes were like knives, staring straight at her: "Tell me what you just said to others?"

"Yes……"

The little palace maid took a deep breath and then told the whole story of what had just happened.

After listening to her story, several people fell into a long silence.

After a moment, the little maid raised her head and asked stutteringly: "Prince...Prince..."

The Fifth Prince did not speak, but the Twelfth Prince spoke first.

"Let's go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The little palace maid's voice was full of gratitude and joy. She picked up the sandalwood box and ran away.

At the same time, the Ninth Prince followed.

As the two people walked into a dark corner one after the other, everything around them seemed to be swallowed up by the thick and colorful night. Only the faint moonlight shone through the gaps in the eaves and sprinkled on the ground in patches.

However, at this moment, the little palace maid disappeared out of thin air from the Ninth Prince's sight.

The Ninth Prince was startled and stopped in his tracks. He looked around, trying to find the little palace maid.

But there was nothing but silence all around, and it was deathly quiet.

He frowned, full of doubts.

Where did this little palace maid go?

Could it be that what I just told them was false?

Or was it someone's deliberate arrangement?

Suddenly, the Ninth Prince smelled a fragrance, a strange fragrance he had never smelled before.

The things in front of me gradually became blurry.

thump--

The Ninth Prince collapsed, and before he fainted he seemed to see the little palace maid.

She is laughing.

"you……"

He completely lost consciousness.

"Sister Yue, I think it will be hard for them to pull the hero down from the throne with just the four words 'Ziwei appears in the world'. That's the hero! He's full of luck!"

The sparrow spirit was puzzled.

"I didn't expect them to drive Xiao Guixi off the throne."

Song Yuesheng touched the Ninth Prince's body, and then took out a token from his clothes on his chest.

It’s better to hide on your body. The most dangerous place is the safest.

Unfortunately, I met her.

She weighed the token, then gently stroked her face.

Wait until she throws the token into Ronghua Palace, then remove the makeup on her face.

**

Xiao Guixi ordered all the imperial guards to keep silent, but the three princes would not give up what they learned from Song Yuesheng. They all asked their people to incite the people outside the palace and even made up a nursery rhyme to spread it.

"The smoke is green, the cuckoo is weeping, but no one is crying. The Purple Star is the destiny of heaven and man. The old king will pass away and the new king will be established."

In just half a month, the children's singing could be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, strange phenomena occurred in various places in the palace.

The imperial physician on duty ran into the ghost of the bride, the young eunuch in the wine and vinegar room was driven crazy by the rain of bloody leaves, and the maid in Cuili Palace heard crying from the phoenix tree outside the palace.

The manager of the Plum Garden saw the woman in white holding an umbrella in the rain, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Not only that, starting from three days ago, the young palace maid in the imperial kitchen told everyone that she had seen the late queen.

These visions often occur between midnight and thirteen o'clock.

For a time, people in the palace were panicked.

Song Yuesheng was still under house arrest in Jiangxue Palace, and Qiao Yue and Qiao Xin would tell her what was happening outside every day.

The two of them learned about it from the palace maids who delivered vegetables and food to the Jiangxue Palace at the beginning of the morning every day.

But they told it to Song Yuesheng purely as a funny story, and what they talked about most was Wen Man.

"I heard that Concubine Wen went to see His Majesty for several days, but His Majesty didn't see her." Qiao Yue reached out and took a piece of cake, biting it and said, "Concubine Wen thought that she could fly to the top just because she had the same name as the man in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is really naive!"

She smacked her lips and swallowed the pastry in her mouth, then turned to look at Song Yuesheng, who was buried in the desk, writing something attentively.

"My lady, I am a little curious, if you had not entered the palace, what kind of person would you have married?"

Song Yuesheng held the brush and tapped her forehead, jokingly saying, "It's not like a woman has only one way out, which is to get married. If I hadn't entered the palace, I would have left Linjing with my parents."

She had already buried the enemies in various key locations, and would take some time to recover before taking the final step.

I hope those princes can hold on for a while longer and attract Xiao Guixi's attention.

Suddenly, Qiao Xin ran in in a hurry.

She gasped heavily, "It's bad, Madam. I heard from the people in Ronghua Palace that there is an urgent report from the border. Xiling and Gao Qian have joined forces to attack Una City. I'm afraid General Song will lead his troops there soon."

Song Yuesheng raised her eyes and said, "Why would someone from Ronghua Palace be so kind as to tell you this?"

"No, Madam. I heard someone outside the palace calling your name. I went over and saw that it was Concubine Wen's personal maids. They had been wandering in front of the Jiangxue Palace, talking very loudly."

"They also said that Concubine Wen had just come out of the Imperial Study. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just wait for the Emperor's order."

Qiao Yue became anxious when she heard this.

"The master has already handed over his military power, why are you still letting him lead the troops to fight?"

Song Yuesheng rubbed his fingers together and said, "If you don't obey the emperor's order, you are disobeying it."

"Sparrow Spirit, how much is the mission worth now?"

"92%, Sister Yue, the mission in this world is about to succeed!"

The blue sparrow flew in circles excitedly.

This world does not trigger any node tasks. Sister Yue can leave this world as long as she completes the remaining 8%.

Song Yuesheng touched his chin.

No more waiting.

I'll finish up the rest tonight.
