Chapter 596: Palace Fights Are All Scheming

The man didn't stop until he reached a courtyard next to the inner city wall, then climbed over the side wall.

Xiao Yun did not get close but used his spiritual sense to observe directly. Although the location of this courtyard was a bit remote, it was quite large, with three entrances. The man in black jumped directly into the middle one.

The man in black walked directly into a room, which should be a study. There was no one else inside. The man in black lit the lamp himself and then took off the black scarf covering his face.

Xiao Yun was stunned when he saw the man's face. It was a woman's face, but the body shape was obviously the same as a man. A height of more than 1.7 meters was tall among men in ancient times.

Thinking that the other person might be a man with a female appearance, he used his spiritual sense to scan his lower body, but found that there was no female, but it was not a woman, but a eunuch...

He really is someone from the palace, but I don't know which palace he is lurking in. As for his master, he should not be someone from the palace, otherwise he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to come outside the palace.

The eunuch took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread them out on the desk, and then started writing.

Is he planning to leave a letter? Xiao Yun used his spiritual sense to carefully examine it. He recognized all the words, but he couldn't understand the meaning. It seemed to be another codeword.

Let's wait and see if this person returns to the palace. If not, she will try hypnotizing him to see if she can get the answer.

While he was writing the letter, Xiao Yun used his spiritual sense to thoroughly check the house, even the underground.

Believe it or not, she actually discovered two tunnels, one leading to a dry well in a small courtyard on another street, and the other dug directly through the city wall to the outer city, with the exit in a cellar in the backyard of a grain shop.

It seems that the owner of this yard is very extraordinary. If something is done, this yard can be used for both attack and defense.

By the time she finished her investigation, the eunuch had also finished writing the letter. He placed the letter paper under the paperweight and only put away the pen, ink and inkstone.

Even if others see it, they won’t understand what it means.

After cleaning up, he blew out the oil lamp, covered his face with a scarf again and left, while Xiao Yun continued to follow him.

Sure enough, the man returned to the palace and went straight to the harem.

Looking at the other party's final destination, Xiao Yun raised her eyebrows. Hey, this saved her from making another trip. The other party actually entered the backyard of the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

There was a row of small houses there, where the palace servants lived and rested when they were not on duty.

Xiao Yun was originally going to come over to hypnotize the queen and ask her some questions, and this happened to be the perfect opportunity. Just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness, he was shocked by the other party's action and stopped.

I saw that after taking off his nightgown, he actually changed into a palace maid's outfit. Oh... No, he is obviously a eunuch, and he can still live in the palace. Why did he go to the trouble of playing a different role?

This action made Xiao Yun check the other person's body again, fearing that he had made a mistake before. Facts proved that it was not the case, and the other person was indeed a eunuch.

Well, the other party must have some other reason not to show his true identity. Seeing that the other party changed clothes in the dark and went to bed, Xiao Yun no longer paid attention to him. He withdrew his spiritual sense and went to the Queen Mother's bedroom first. It would not be too late to ask him after asking the Queen Mother.

She arrived at the right time. The palace maid who was on night watch was changing shifts, so she followed one of the maids straight in.

This body has not been trained and cannot pass through walls, so this method is the only one I can use.

After coming in, the two palace maids sat on a small couch beside them. They could not sleep when they were on duty beside the master in the harem. They had to listen to the master's movements at all times, so they would be replaced every two hours to avoid losing their lives due to poor service.

Xiao Yun walked directly behind the screen. The light in the dormitory was on, like a night light.

The Queen Mother had fallen asleep and the bed curtains were drawn. Xiao Yun walked to the bedside and looked at her furrowed brows. He guessed that the dream seeds had begun to take effect.

Without hesitation, she took the empress dowager into a small wooden house in the space, and then lit the lamp inside with her spiritual sense.

She also entered the space, reached out to push the person awake, and began to hypnotize him as he woke up.

In fact, it is more convenient to put a mantra talisman on her or search her soul, but soul searching will make her a fool. Putting a mantra talisman on her will make the other person remember what she said, and she will have to use magic to erase the memory. It is not as convenient as hypnosis.

After the Queen Mother entered a deep hypnosis and was completely controlled, Xiao Yun asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Yuzhen."

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows. What a common name.

"Did you ask someone to get the incense for Liuyun Palace?"

"it's me."

“Why do you want to do this?”

"The emperor doesn't like Concubine Xiao, and Qiao Wan is not a soft-hearted person. They both want to get rid of Concubine Xiao. I'm worried that Qiao Wan will deal with my eldest grandson as well.

But with the Duke of Zhenguo here, I can't openly snatch the child away, or I'll be impeached in court the next day. This is the only way I can think of."

Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised but not quite surprised, as it was pretty much what she had guessed. She had previously thought that the medicine might have been given by the Queen Mother, because Qiao Wan could have given her the kind of medicine that would gradually weaken her body, causing both her and her child to die of illness in the end.

Obviously, Qiao Wan's little tricks were nothing to the former palace fighting champion, who had been on guard against her for a long time.

It seems that the Queen Mother's purpose was to take the child away, thinking that the child's presence with her showed her attitude and Qiao Wan would not touch the child again. However, she never expected that Qiao Wan would take another approach and start directly with the child itself, letting the child run out by himself. The child falling into the lotus pond must have been her doing, but no one would investigate at the time.

Thinking of his previous doubts, Xiao Yun asked again, "Is Chu Mingyi your biological son?"

She actually had no connection with the dynasty's fortune. Xiao Yun wondered if she was a fake. Isn't that how it's played on TV?

If the emperor was her biological son, then she would be the empress dowager of a country, and the fate of the dynasty should not have nothing to do with her.

Even if the emperor is not the son of the previous emperor, the fate of the country follows the emperor, not the bloodline.

Then the hypnotized Queen Mother said excitedly, "Of course the Emperor is my biological son. The Emperor is the Emperor, and I am the Queen Mother!"

Xiao Yun quickly deepened the hypnosis and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person's eyes become dull again.

It almost brought her to her senses, this obsession was deep enough.

This is a bit unreasonable, after all, Emperor Yongkang is the male protagonist. As long as the Queen Mother is his biological mother, she should not have nothing to do with the fate of the country.

Then she asked a few more questions, such as whether the late emperor had ever been cuckolded, whether there were twin sisters, and anyway, she asked about every plot in the novel that she could think of.

The results were none of the above. Well, I hypnotized the Queen Mother again to make her forget this memory, and then put her back on the bed silently.

The Queen Mother woke up again as soon as she returned to bed. She sat up suddenly and took a long time to recover. She only knew that she seemed to have had a nightmare, but she could not remember the specific content.
