Chapter 618 The East Wind Arrives

Ning Shuang felt a little flustered when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down and knelt in front of the empress dowager.

"Mother, please allow me to report this. Ning Shuang is indeed just a maid in the Flower House. It is only because of your favor that she has achieved her current status."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother sat down on a chair and spoke slowly.

"You're clearly more anxious to see the Emperor today than I am. Ningshuang, what exactly are you trying to do? What are you trying to uncover? Or who exactly are you working for?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Shuang reached out and took out the imperial edict hidden in her sleeve.

"Empress Dowager, this is from His Royal Highness Prince Yao to Ning Shuang. Ning Shuang doesn't know what's written on it, but considering what happened before and after, it's probably an imperial decree to save the emperor."

The empress dowager took the imperial edict and opened it. Although her relationship with the emperor had become estranged over the years, she still recognized his handwriting. After all, she had accompanied him in writing when they were young.

"Ask General Li to rescue you? This is indeed the emperor's handwriting. How do you plan to deliver this imperial edict? The palace is heavily guarded right now. There must be layers of guards at the palace gates. I'm afraid you can't leave the palace. I'm also a little confused as to why King Yao asked you to deliver this imperial edict."

Ning Shuang spoke upon hearing this.

"Mother, have you forgotten? Ning Shuang is good friends with General Li's wife. General Li commands an army of over 100,000 men. Asking General Li for help is the most appropriate at this time, and Ning Shuang is the only person who can deliver the imperial edict."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Ning Shuang in thought for a moment, then handed the imperial edict back to her.

"Forget it. I don't care about these things anymore. You can do whatever you want." Ning Shuang took the imperial edict and put it close to her body.

"Mother, you should rest first. With the arrival of Consort Shu, the guards outside won't do anything to our Changshou Palace. Ning Shuang will withdraw first."

Wait for Ning Shuang to leave.

Nanny Xue handed the empress dowager a cup of tea and began to analyze.

"Empress Dowager, it seems that Princess Wen'an is not a simple person."

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea.

"I've seen it, but in the current situation, I'm afraid she's the only one who can deliver the imperial edict to save the emperor. As long as she doesn't harm the emperor, I can't care about anything else."

Ning Shuang returned to her room.

Quickly change into night clothes.

Fortunately, thanks to Concubine Shu's visit, the guards in Changshou Palace relaxed, otherwise it would be really difficult to send the imperial edict.

Soon, Ning Shuang took advantage of the night and her martial arts skills to carefully reach the cold palace, then crawled out through a dog hole.

White House.

Jun Moye and Su Hanchu are playing chess.

The couple was killing each other on the chessboard.

Su Hanchu yawned.

"Husband, when will this chess game end? I'm a little sleepy."

Jun Moye placed a black piece.

"It should be soon. Why don't you take a rest first, Chuchu? I'll continue waiting."

Su Hanchu picked up a white piece and looked at the chess game on the board.

"I'll wait with you. It'll be so boring waiting alone. Come on, I'm sure I can beat you again today."

Suddenly the door opened.

Qing Zhi's voice came with a hint of urgency.

"Master, Madam, Ning Shuang is here."

Jun Moye dropped the last chess piece in his hand.

"Ma'am, you lose."

Then his eyes fell on Ning Shuang, who was dressed in black.

Ning Shuang didn't waste any words. She turned her back and quickly took out the imperial edict from her bellyband.

"Sir, Madam, we have received the imperial edict."

Qingzhi took it and handed it to Su Hanchu.

When Su Hanchu opened it, the sleepiness on his face disappeared and a smile appeared on his face.

"Very good, Aye, the east wind has finally arrived."

Jun Moye took the imperial edict and took a quick look at it.

"very good."

"Qing Gu."

Qinggu hurried forward and bowed.

"Young Master."

Jun Moye ordered in a deep voice.

"Quickly deliver this imperial edict to Li Xiao."

Su Hanchu looked at Ning Shuang and spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work. The palace is not peaceful now. Your mission has been completed, so you don't have to go back. You can decide whether to continue living in this imperial city or go to Baise City."

Ning Shuang spoke upon hearing this.

"Madam, the palace is indeed not peaceful, but the Empress Dowager has been very kind to me. I cannot ignore her at this time, and I can't leave her alone forever. Madam, you also need someone to watch over you in the palace. Why not let Ning Shuang go back?"

Su Hanchu nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, whatever you say. You won't have any special tasks in the future, so just be a good princess."

The Hall of Mental Cultivation in the imperial palace.

Emperor Tianyuan woke up at the time when he was supposed to go to court. This was a habit he had developed over the years. He suddenly remembered that he was now under house arrest, and his eyes were filled with loneliness.

Jun Moyong, who was sleeping on the couch, heard him waking up, and hurriedly got up and spoke with concern.

"Father, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell?"

Emperor Tianyuan shook his head slightly.

"Is there still someone guarding the palace?"

Jun Moyong spoke helplessly after hearing this.

"King Wu has successfully ascended the throne, but some important ministers are still being held in the palace. The Huacai people are very cautious, and not a single guard in the Yangxin Palace is missing."

Emperor Tianyuan spoke worriedly upon hearing this.

"The imperial edict..."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong leaned over and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Father. I've sent it out."

Fengyi Palace.

Hua Lingyi looked at the ministers' wives.

"I have just become the Empress Dowager, and I can't help but recall the times when you all came to Fengyi Palace to chat with me. So today I specially invited you to speak, and I hope I won't scare you."

The ladies looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they not be frightened? Only when they entered the palace could the men in their families return home.

There was no sign of panic on Lin Hanzhi's face, but she spoke with a smile on her face.

"Two days ago, I was thinking about going to the palace to chat with Her Majesty when I had time. But today Her Majesty has already publicized it, saying that Hanzhi and Her Majesty are destined to be together. Now we have the same idea."

Hua Lingyi looked at Lin Hanzhi and saw that the smile on her face was unchanged as before, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"General Li's wife is truly my favorite."

Lin Hanzhi smiled and spoke when she heard this.

"For so many years, the Empress Dowager has been a model for all women in the world. I and the others have always followed your example and wish to spend more time with you, embracing your dignified aura. Is that not right, ladies?"
