Heartless Phoenix Queen - C150

At this moment, the room was still brightly lit, just as Helian Lie had said. The empress dowager probably couldn’t fall asleep at this point, but in fact, it had been a long time since she had a good night’s rest, and anyone who stayed outside to watch their every move would be unable to sleep. The two guards at the door, however, were the elites of Helian Lie’s meticulous arrangements, so the empress dowager naturally wouldn’t make any movements, and tonight, just like a few days ago, the empress dowager paced back and forth in the room, occasionally glancing outside.

“Hu-ge, I’ve been so bored these past few days that I’m about to get a bird out of its egg.”

“Ah, Ah Long, bear with it. If you don’t do this well, you’ll lose your head.” Hu-ge could not help but to say.

“Hey, don’t say it. We haven’t had a drink in a long time. Why don’t we go have a drink?” Ah Long suddenly said. His eyes also lit up. After hearing what was said, Brother Hu’s eyes lit up.

“That’s not good, I’m afraid we’ll lose our heads if we leave without permission.”

“Ai, you’re an idiot. If we hadn’t told others, who would have known that this old slut was going to sleep? Once she turns out the lights, we’ll have a good drink and guard the place tomorrow. Where can a woman run off to?”

“Hmm, you’re right, but we have to drink faster.”

“Haha, alright. Since Brother Hu has said it like that, I will only allow you to be half-drunk today. You can’t just get drunk.”

“Sigh, this is a special period. However, even if we are half-drunk, our brothers’ alcohol capacity would probably still be for a few hours.”

“Haha, that’s right, that’s right.” When the empress dowager in the room heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised in happiness. She then gently and coyly spoke of the extinguishing of the oil lamp, before taking off the embroidered shoes she was wearing, and gently pressed her feet against the door. In her heart, however, she thought that she might not be able to leave this place today if she did not escape.

The empress dowager knew that if she hadn’t been scheming behind his back, the Sixth Prince wouldn’t have known what to do next. However, after being under her tutelage for so long, she could only hope that the Sixth Prince would be careful and escape out of the Northern Yue State, so it wasn’t impossible for her to do the same thing again. Thinking of this, the empress dowager also wanted to escape as soon as possible.

“Ah Long, this empress dowager’s probably going to fall asleep soon. Let’s go.”

“Alright, let’s be gentle.” When the empress dowager heard this, her heart was immediately overjoyed. Once the two of them had left the Imperial Tavern, she carefully opened the door and quietly left. When the empress dowager left the tavern, a shadow quietly followed behind her.

At this moment, the empress dowager knew that she had spies everywhere in the capital city, and that it was impossible for her to escape the palace. However, within the palace, she might not have no backup plans, and thinking of this, the empress dowager also walked towards a pavilion in the backyard of the palace. This was the place where the servants lived, and now one of the empress dowager ran over to this place.

“Who, who is it?” The people inside the room hadn’t slept yet, but the lights had already been turned off, so they couldn’t clearly see the empress dowager.

“Don’t worry, it’s me.”

“Ah, Empress Dowager, why have you come?” That person immediately got off the bed when he saw this. After which, he prepared to light the oil lamp.

“Don’t, don’t turn on the lights, just like this. This time, I won’t let anyone know when I come out.”

“Alright, alright, the empress dowager will sit here.” When that person heard the empress dowager’s cautious words, he was a bit shocked. He then helped the empress dowager to his bed and waited until she was done before speaking.

“Ah Fu, I have something to tell you right now, you have to listen to me properly.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Let me tell you, I have a secret letter here, as well as some gold. Bring these things and go to Dongping Kingdom. Give this place to Dongping Kingdom’s young marquis. I’ll reward you with this gold.”

“Ah, empress dowager, this …”

“What is it? You don’t want to. ” The empress dowager’s voice turned cold as well.

“No, no. What I mean is, if I go there, will I be able to come back?”

“No, you don’t need to come back. Wait until the Sixth Prince ascends the throne before you come back.” Ah Fu was also infected by this aura, causing his heart to be filled with fear. But he had never seen so much gold in his life, ever since he worked in secret for the empress dowager, this was the first time he saw the empress dowager come so respectfully to his side. Presumably, this was the moment of crisis, so Ah Fu immediately nodded and spoke up.

“Yes, this empress dowager understands, this servant understands.”

“Mm, if that’s the case, then you should hurry up and make your move. I can’t stay outside for too long, I still need to go back.” She couldn’t stay outside for too long this time, or else people would know that she wouldn’t be able to live any longer. Currently, the imperial palace was packed with people, so if she were to suddenly run away, she wouldn’t be able to get out of the city, either. When she thought of this, the empress dowager also quietly ran out of the palace, while Ah Fu was once again sprawled on the bed, his heart thumping in nervousness. The shadow just walked in a flash after the empress dowager had left, but for a person like Ah Fu, there was no need to ask any further.

While Ah Fu was still nervous, there wasn’t the slightest bit of pain. Just like that, his eyes suddenly opened wide as he died on the bed. Following which, the shadow also mentioned that the letter was taken away.

“Esteemed Empress, this is the letter the empress dowager brought to the successor of the palace. Please take a look.” The silhouette took out the letter as well while Zi Yuan sniggered. It was obvious that the empress dowager didn’t know how to repent.

From the moment the empress dowager used Helian Lie as a gun to now, the Violet Garden had been calculating step by step. The empress dowager obviously didn’t know of this, and this was called returning the favor by herself. This transformation also caused Violet Garden to inwardly sneer, and when she flipped open the letter, she saw that the recipient was the young marquis of the East Pingguo, Feng Lingxue!

“Helian, what do you think about this matter?”

“Humph, I didn’t expect it to be that bastard Feng Lingxue.” At the beginning, both Feng Lingxue and Xiao Budian had quite a good impression of him and he was as elegant as an immortal. Furthermore, he was also a talented individual and at this moment, seeing that it was this person who was manipulating them from the back, anger instantly filled their hearts.

“Back then, I have already said that we must be careful of this person. I’m afraid that it will be difficult to deal with him this time around.” At this point, Zi Yuan also had a headache. Originally, national affairs were already rather difficult to handle. Now that it involved other countries, he didn’t know what to do.

The letter clearly stated that the empress dowager wanted Feng Lingxue to immediately attack the Northern Yue State. At this moment, it was obvious that Lan Cang had been held up by matters of the border, otherwise, he would not have been able to return for so long. In other words, the person who delivered the letter had probably been killed midway.

“Zi Yuan, now is not the time to say those words. We still want to think about our next step.” Helian said with a slight headache.

“Humph, that slut is actually colluding with the enemy, for such a crime, I won’t let her live for too long. As for the matter of the East Peak Country, I’m afraid that we still don’t know everything about the Northern Desert.” Humph, that slut is colluding with the enemy, for such a crime, I won’t let her live for too long.

Helian Haoyan’s gaze turned cold when he saw the situation. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to say, the crime of colluding against the enemy was not something shameful even for a commoner, not to mention that the two of them were one emperor and one imperial concubine. Anger naturally rose in his heart, and when he thought of this, Helian also blurted out.

“Tonight, I have to go to the Sixth Prince’s house and tell him to capture them. Otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll get into a lot of trouble.” Helian said coldly. This was something the Violet Garden naturally knew.

“Yes, leave this matter to Shadow and me. The two of us will go inside to take a look at the situation. If there are too many people, we will send our men and horses over. Otherwise, it won’t be beautiful if we alert them.”

“Mm, you’ll have to be careful when doing this. Do what you can, and don’t be reckless.” At this moment, Helian said worriedly. After all, it was likely that the Sixth Prince would make his final stand. This kind of person was also the one who would easily cause mischief. Therefore, Helian could not help but remind him.

“Don’t worry. I naturally know about these things. Alright, I will go and prepare for it now.” He put Helian’s words to the side in the heart of the Violet Garden. How could she bear with his survival when she went to the Sixth Prince’s residence this time? Even if there was the slightest danger, she wouldn’t be able to let him walk out of the room smoothly. Thinking up to here, Violet Garden also walked out of the room with killing intent, while on the other side, the Sixth Prince’s Mansion was already in a glorious state.

The Sixth Prince was currently discussing something with a group of people, but the mansion was brightly lit, to the point that the guards outside were carefully guarding the place, while the Violet Garden had just stepped out of the palace …
