Chapter 512: Madam, can’t you even recognize my voice?

As he spoke, Mo Jiuye took out Eunuch Liu's badge and showed it to the soldiers.

The gatekeeper took the badge and checked it, then looked at Mo Jiuye's clothes and immediately put on a smiling face.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will open the door right away."

The palace gate slowly opened, and Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran walked in quickly.

As for the terrain inside the palace, Mo Jiuye could tell the location with his eyes closed.

There were many eunuchs in the palace, so they were not surprised to see the two unfamiliar people. Therefore, the two did not try to avoid them too much and walked naturally on the bluestone road.

Seeing a patrol team of guards passing by, He Zhiran looked around and asked in a low voice:

"Husband, where shall we go first?"

"I want to go to Concubine Yuan's palace first." Mo Jiuye answered in the same low voice.

He Zhiran also planned so. If nothing unexpected happened, Concubine Yuan would always believe that Mo Jiuye was her biological child.

Besides, Mo Jiuye has often visited Concubine Yuan since he was a child, and is quite familiar with the latter.

The specific situation in the palace is unclear now, and no one knows whether Emperor Shunwu is alive or dead. The best way is to find an acquaintance to ask, so that they can have a clear idea before taking the next step.

They met several patrol teams on the way, but no one suspected them, and the two arrived at Concubine Yuan's palace very smoothly.

Outside Concubine Yuan's bedroom, it was quieter than Mo Jiuye had imagined, and the number of patrolling soldiers increased significantly as he walked in that direction.

There is no doubt that the Queen has taken control of Concubine Yuan's bedroom, which means that it is very likely that Concubine Yuan has lost her freedom.

As expected, the door to the bedroom was closed.

This is not surprising. After all, it is late at night, and it is normal for the concubines' bedrooms to be closed.

Concubine Yuan was a concubine of a very high rank, and she was qualified to hang four lanterns in front of her bedroom even at night.

There were indeed four lanterns hanging high above the palace gate, but what was puzzling was that these four lanterns were not lit at all.

There is only one possible way for this to happen.

That is, if a concubine made a mistake and was under punishment, the emperor would not choose to turn over her card.

Given the current situation, it is not surprising that Concubine Yuan is treated like this.

Everyone in the court, whether civil or military, knew that the Queen's biggest enemy was Concubine Yuan. After all, both of them gave birth to princes for Emperor Shunwu, and most importantly, both princes were among the candidates for the crown prince.

Now that the Queen has gained power, with her vengeful nature, it would be strange if she didn't do something to Concubine Yuan.

Mo Jiuye did not explain this to He Zhiran, but took her around to the east side of Concubine Yuan's bedroom.

It was relatively close to Concubine Yuan's bedroom. Even if they might be discovered after entering, they would be Concubine Yuan's confidants and would not tell anyone about their arrival.

Surprisingly, the courtyard of the bedroom was deserted, and the feeling was no different from when he first entered the He family.

The imperial concubine was the second most important person in the harem after the queen, but there was no one in the courtyard of her bedroom.

If it weren't for the candlelight shining through the window of the main room, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran would have thought the place was deserted.

After all, it is a woman's residence. It is against the rules for Mo Jiuye, a foreigner, to come here. If he rashly enters the house, it will damage Concubine Yuan's reputation.

He Zhiran was also aware of these ancient rules and took the initiative to come to the door.

She first took out a packet of sleeping pills from her bosom and held it in her hand for emergency use, then walked forward and pushed the door open.

The reason why she didn't knock on the door was, on the one hand, that she was worried that making noise might alert the patrolling guards outside, and on the other hand, they were not sure whether the person in the room was Concubine Yuan.

The door was not locked from the inside, and He Zhiran opened it with just a light push.

The creaking sound of the door opening instantly broke the silence of the night.

A slightly older female voice asked, "Who?"

He Zhiran was unable to confirm the identity of the person who was speaking, so he did not answer. Instead, he stood at the door and looked inside with the dim light in the room.

However, right opposite the door was a screen with a painting of a beautiful woman, blocking her view.

However, through the screen, one could still see a staggering shadow walking towards the door.

At the same time, the old voice sounded again, revealing a sense of helplessness and disdain.

"You have tortured the Imperial Concubine to this point, unable to even get out of bed. What are you still doing here?"

Although Nanny Wang's voice was not loud, Mo Jiuye who was standing outside the door still heard it.

He strode across the threshold, stood beside He Zhiran, and asked in a deep voice, "Madam, what did you say about the Imperial Concubine?"

Mo Jiuye has had a very good impression of Concubine Yuan since he was a child. Although it was because the other party misunderstood his identity, that good impression was real after all.

Now, when he heard Nanny Wang say that Concubine Yuan couldn't even get out of bed, he knew without hesitation that it must be the Queen's work, which directly ignited the anger in Mo Jiuye's heart.

Nanny Wang was not unfamiliar with Mo Jiuye's voice.

Because she, like Concubine Yuan, believed that Mo Jiuye was the real Third Prince, she naturally had to remember everything about him clearly.

At this time, Nanny Wang had already come out from behind the screen. She was stunned when she saw two people, one tall and one short, standing at the door.

She thought that it was the Ninth Young Master who came to save his 'biological' mother, but in the end she was overjoyed for nothing.

The two people in front of him were obviously the queen's lackeys and eunuchs.

Fortunately, she was more careful and did not call out "Ninth Young Master" before she saw the person.

Nanny Wang's expression changed immediately. Although she was afraid of the two people in front of her, she did not lose her composure.

She tried to straighten her back and glared at the person in front of her.

"Go back and tell your master that the Imperial Concubine will not die so easily. She is still waiting to see the end of you jackals, tigers and leopards."

Nanny Wang thought that the two eunuchs in front of her were sent by the Queen to check whether Concubine Yuan was still alive.

Mo Jiuye knew that Nanny Wang had misunderstood him and his wife's attire, so he stepped forward and explained:

"Mammy, can't you even recognize my voice?"

This sound...

It’s obviously the Ninth Young Master’s.

But the person in front of him was just a eunuch, how could he be the Ninth Young Master?

Just when Nanny Wang was confused, Mo Jiuye spoke again.

"Madam, I am Mo Jiuye. I changed my appearance to enter the palace smoothly."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left arm and pulled up his sleeve slightly, revealing a small scar on his wrist.

"Mammy, do you remember this scar?

When Nan Qi and I were playing in Lu Garden when we were little, I accidentally fell and got this wound. You bandaged it yourself at that time."
