By the time she succeeds, these people will be dead. It is simply a pipe dream for them to dream of the title of marquis.
She put down the tea in her hand and handed a letter to her confidant.
"Find a way to deliver this letter to Huang Feiyu."
As long as the commander of the Royal Guards is sent away, everything will be easy.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Minister Jiang stood up, looked at the portrait hanging next to him, and whispered, "Mother, what you haven't been able to accomplish, your daughter will soon be able to complete for you."
She raised her hand and stroked the person in the painting.
"Don't worry, when I ascend to that position, I will posthumously confer titles on you and your sister. Although you lost the battle with the late emperor, I am about to win. My sister doesn't want me to achieve great things, so I have no choice but to kill her. Mother, you won't blame me, right?"
…
The palace was brightly lit at night, and the moon was high in the sky like a jade plate.
A black figure leaped onto the palace wall under the moonlight.
While Huang Feiyu was leading his men on patrol, he was recalling what Yu Yiluo had said.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help shaking my head.
Originally she trusted Yu Yiluo, so she had been extra vigilant recently, but more than half a month had passed, and no one had asked her to leave the palace.
Could it be that she was not happy with her promise to help the little princess, and the little princess was deliberately playing tricks on her?
While she was thinking, she heard a slight movement nearby. She raised her hand to signal the patrolling Royal Guards behind her to stop, then shouted, "Who?"
The elongated shadows of the trees on the ground swayed a few times, but there was no response.
"Commander, it's a cat."
Huang Feiyu frowned, "There is no master in the palace who keeps a cat."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered Yu Yiluo's words. Her eyes darkened and she told the others to continue patrolling while she chased after them.
After chasing for a short distance, the man in black avoided the patrolling Royal Guards and deliberately showed his head so that she could see him.
"Who are you?"
Huang Feiyu drew his sword and placed it across the neck of the man in black in front of him.
The man in black did not speak, but took out a secret letter from his clothes and handed it to Huang Feiyu.
While she was receiving the letter, the person in front of her flashed and jumped onto the palace wall, quickly blending into the moonlight.
Huang Feiyu stopped chasing the man and quickly tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
When she saw the handwriting clearly, her pupils suddenly dilated.
"It's actually the emperor's handwriting, and there's even a seal."
She murmured softly and quickly read the contents of the letter.
There was only one extremely simple sentence on it: Go out of the palace and secretly investigate the princess's identity for me.
Huang Feiyu, who suspected that there was something fishy about the man just now, became a little uncertain.
The man just now was indeed dressed like the Queen's secret guard, and the handwriting on the letter was the same as the Queen's. If it was just the former, she would be suspicious, but with the seal, the Emperor's seal, it was not something that anyone could get easily.
Could it be that the Empress's whereabouts last time aroused her suspicion, so she secretly asked her to investigate the princess's identity?
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded, and Huang Feiyu hurriedly put the letter in his arms.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Before Huang Feiyu could leave, he heard a childish voice.
"Commander Huang, long time no see."
Huang Feiyu turned around and saw clearly with the help of the palace lantern that the person who was speaking was Yu Yiluo who was being held by Concubine Xian.
Behind the two of them was Ling Le holding a palace lantern.
"Meet the princess."
Huang Feiyu walked forward and bowed.
Yu Yiluo glanced at the corner of the envelope sticking out from Huang Feiyu's arms and raised her eyebrows.
[It seems he received the letter. No wonder he looks so strange. It seems the fake seal Minister Jiang made is quite realistic.]
"Commander Huang, there's no need to be so polite."
After Empress Xian finished speaking, she said to Ling Le beside her, "Master Ling, please send me here. Commander Huang will take me the rest of the way."
Commander Huang understood that Concubine Xian had something to say to her, and responded with a smile.
"Lord Ling, I have to leave the palace anyway, so I can just send the princess and the others out."
Ling Le nodded and left with the palace lantern.
"Why isn't Commander Huang saying anything? Are you scared?"
Yu Yiluo took the initiative to speak, "Let me guess what's written in the letter."
"What letter?"
Huang Feiyu argued cunningly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Yu Yiluo raised her hand and pointed at her chest.
"It's all exposed, and you're still hiding it."
Huang Feiyu thought Yu Yiluo was lying to her, so she lowered her eyes and saw that a corner of the letter was indeed exposed.
She put the letter back in her pocket and said, "This is a letter from home."
Yu Yiluo blinked and said innocently, "The letter from home is stamped with the Queen's seal. Are you a member of the Queen's family?"
Huang Feiyu was so frightened that he almost staggered.
"I warned you before that if someone told you to leave the palace, don't be fooled. It seems you don't believe me at all."
"How do you know?"
Huang Feiyu was silent for a while, and after making sure that Yu Yiluo was not lying to her, he asked slowly.
"Because I monitor Minister Jiang's every move."
Yu Yiluo smiled, revealing a few of her baby teeth. "Also, I accidentally broke a corner of the Queen's seal today. Do you want to check it out?"
Thinking of the fresh handwriting and the intact seal, Huang Feiyu realized that she had been tricked.
"I believe you. What does Minister Jiang want to do?"
"Sending the commander of the Imperial Guards away, what do you think they want to do?"
After Empress Xian asked this question, she stopped at the palace gate.
"Commander Huang, please remember to pretend to leave the palace. I have already asked the Queen for leave for you."
Huang Feiyu wanted to say something, but then he heard Concubine Xian add, "Don't say you won't leave. If you want to get rid of Minister Jiang, then just be obedient. If you don't want to, that's fine. We will use other means to make you cooperate."
【Hahaha, my mother can threaten people.】
"The Emperor will be safe?"
Concubine Xian said softly, "We won't let anything happen to her. If we wanted to do anything, the Queen would have been caught long ago."
Huang Feiyu did not refute. The Queen was close to the two of them, so they had plenty of opportunities to take action.
But she couldn't understand why the two of them wanted to help Li Kingdom deal with the civil unrest.
"Why are you helping Liguo?"
Yu Yiluo rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"You'll know in two days."
…
The next day, Huang Feiyu left the imperial capital in a low-key manner according to the arrangements of Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian, and returned secretly at night.
Minister Jiang was overjoyed to learn that she had left the imperial capital.
Seeing that she was happy, her confidants also congratulated her.
"Congratulations, sir. This is a good start."
"That's right," Minister Jiang sat on the couch, "Is there any movement from Feng Qingqing's side?"
"Nothing's happening. It's just the Princess and the Crown Prince of Tianqi. Do we need to keep an eye on them tomorrow?"
"Why do they want our people to keep an eye on them?"
Minister Jiang laughed and said, "Feng Qingqing will naturally arrange for someone to watch over them. Do you think Feng Qingqing will be at ease with them?"
Feng Qingqing was indeed worried about Yu Yiluo and the prince and his men, so she left two teams of people to guard the mansion.
The purpose is to keep an eye on a few people.
As for after entering the palace, even if Minister Jiang wanted to touch her, there were still the Imperial Guards to protect her, so she didn't worry about being in danger at all.
Moreover, in her opinion, even if Minister Jiang had someone, he would be no match for the Imperial Guards of the palace.
"Remember, keep a close eye on those people tomorrow and don't let them out."
