As soon as he was sent to the gate of Fengluan Palace, the little eunuch disappeared in an instant.
But Mingyue didn't care. After all, she had already arrived at Fengluan Palace. All she had to do next was find Nanny Qiu Jin.
However, the guards at the gate of Fengluan Palace were even more strict than those at the gate of the imperial study.
As soon as she approached, she was blocked by the guard's spear.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter!"
Mingyue was also a person who liked to pick on the weak and was afraid of the strong, so she said in a gentle voice: "I am the princess of the Shen Kingdom. I came here because I heard that Aunt Qiu Jin was here. I have something important to ask her. Please let her know."
Seeing that the person in front of them was not here to see the Empress, but to see Nanny Qiu Jin, the guards did not refuse directly. One of them went into Fengluan Palace to ask for instructions.
After Mingyue saw one guard leave, she boldly approached another guard and asked, "Who lives in this palace?"
She was really curious about what kind of person could live in such a place.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Fengluan Palace, which was majestic, magnificent and grand. The tiles on the eaves looked as if they were brand new.
Such a beautiful palace is worthy of her status!
When the guard heard her question, he just replied coldly with four words: "No comment."
This was the first time she had encountered someone who dared to speak to her like this. If this happened in their Shen Country, she would smash that person's mouth!
Seeing Mingyue's emotions about to get out of control, Jinzhi quickly stepped forward to pull her back, and whispered: "Forget it, Your Highness, why are you getting angry with a watchdog?"
Mingyue finally calmed down, raised her head and snorted coldly.
After hitting a wall in her attempt to strike up a conversation, she was too lazy to ask any more questions. She memorized the guard's face and was determined to teach him a lesson when she gained power in the future!
When the guard who brought the message went in, Nanny Qiu Jin was serving Jiang Ziyi breakfast.
Jiang Ziyi was stirring the porridge in the bowl with a porcelain spoon.
When the guard said that Princess Shen was at the door, her hand paused.
Aunt Qiu Jin asked, "Did that person explain his purpose?"
The guard replied respectfully, "That person was brought here by a young eunuch who sweeps the grounds near Yingchun Palace. She wanted to see you, Madam. And judging by her expression, she probably didn't know the Empress was here."
After hearing this, Aunt Qiu Jin turned her head and asked Jiang Ziyi, "Your Majesty, would you like me to go out and see you?"
"Go ahead, it's a good opportunity to see what she's up to." Jiang Ziyi said calmly.
After receiving the Queen's order, Nanny Qiu Jin followed the guards.
Considering what Nanny Qiu Jin had said before, that Yingchun Palace was haunted, Jiang Ziyi became a little curious. Could it be that Mingyue had encountered a ghost?
Jiang Ziyi called Ah Xin and Ah Qing over and asked, "Do you know what happened in Yingchun Palace recently?"
Ji Chenan told them to go to Yingchun Palace, but Jiang Ziyi was not aware of it because Ji Chenan felt that it would be bad for the baby in her belly if Jiang Ziyi heard those things.
So we told them to do it privately.
When they learned that Yinhua had also come to Yao Country, they reported the matter to His Majesty and asked him how to deal with it.
But His Majesty simply said lightly, "I heard from the Queen that she used to be arrogant. So you should make sure that she never gets arrogant again."
They had been under Ji Chenan for many years and knew what he meant. They had originally planned to go to the servants' room at night, put a sack on her and kill her, but they didn't expect that Yinhua was arranged to sleep in the main hall for the night, so they easily used the dark room as a passage to enter the room and killed her quietly. In order to make her death more worthwhile, they hung her in the room. This not only eliminated a person who had bullied the Queen, but also intimidated Mingyue, which was a two-birds-with-one-stone move.
However, they did not tell Jiang Ziyi about this. After all, this scene was not suitable for a pregnant woman to imagine. They believed that even if Aunt Qiu Jin knew about it, she would not tell Jiang Ziyi when she returned.
So they just laughed it off perfunctorily. Jiang Ziyi looked at the two of them and probably guessed that Ji Chenan might have given them some orders and told them not to tell her, so she didn't ask any more questions. She would know when the time came.
As soon as Aunt Qiu Jin reached the door, Mingyue rushed over and grabbed her hand, "Aunt!"
She had just been frightened and couldn't find His Majesty, so seeing Nanny Qiu Jin was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
Aunt Qiu Jin was also startled by her sudden rush and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Mingyue looked around and whispered tremblingly into Aunt Qiu Jin's ear: "There is a ghost in Yingchun Palace..."
After hearing what she said, Aunt Qiu Jin interrupted her with a serious face, "This palace is protected by His Majesty's dragon energy, so where can ghosts come from?"
Seeing that Aunt Qiu Jin didn't believe her, Mingyue became anxious and angry, and couldn't help but raise her voice, "It's true! My maid was found hanged in my room this morning. If I hadn't changed a room last night and let her sleep in the main hall bedroom..."
Seeing her agitated, Nanny Qiu Jin tried to calm her down for a while before asking, "What was the name of your deceased maid?"
Mingyue: "Yinhua, this is the maid I brought from the Kingdom of Shen. We are new here and have never had any grudges with anyone in this palace!"
Nanny Qiu Jin thought for a while. The name Yinhua sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
After a while, she remembered that the Queen had once told her about her days in the State of Shen.
Isn't this Yinhua the one who bullied the Queen Mother and refused to give her food in the State of Shen?
This is a huge grudge!
Combined with the recent disappearance of Axin and Aqing, Nanny Qiu Jin was certain that this person must have been dealt with on the orders of His Majesty.
After all, with His Majesty's protective mentality, anyone who bullies the Empress will never survive.
