After closing the door tightly, Liu Yan trembled and said, "Zhi, Zhizhi, what happened that night..."
The guess in her mind was vague, but it made her tremble all over.
If that was really what she thought, then Zhizhi was too bold. However, the woman in the rumored appearance was very beautiful, very different from Zhizhi's appearance...
Jiang Zhili held Liu Yan's hand in hers, and the warmth from her hand was transferred to Liu Yan's skin, bringing soothing and convincing power.
"Aunt, I was indeed with His Majesty when I left the house that night," Jiang Zhili admitted frankly. She had no intention of hiding this matter.
Liu Yan tightly grasped Jiang Zhili's hand, her whole face was pale, and she was obviously frightened by this sudden news.
In this era, imperial power is heaven, and a word from the royal family can determine the fate of the entire family.
As a woman who lives in a secluded house and never goes out of the front door, how could Liu Yan not be afraid!
Liu Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart. She asked tremblingly, "Zhizhi, according to rumors, the woman His Majesty is looking for is stunning..."
Zhizhi's appearance can barely be called pretty, and there is no way she could be the person Your Majesty is looking for.
Jiang Zhili's eyes flashed with deep meaning: "Don't worry, Auntie. I have my own way. Your Majesty and I have been in love outside the palace. Life after entering the palace will not be too difficult..."
After saying that, Jiang Zhili said that he usually hid his appearance to avoid the attention of Madam Jiang and her daughter.
When Liu Yan heard Jiang Zhili say this, she felt extremely bitter.
Her voice was a little choked: "Zhizhi...it's my aunt who is useless."
He actually forced Zhizhi to do such an unfair thing.
Liu Yan had lived in the rear house for more than ten years, and had heard of hiding one's incompetence before, but she had only heard of it. Now that it happened to her own daughter, she felt extremely ashamed.
Jiang Zhili frowned, clenched her hands, and looked at Liu Yan with a stern look.
She said solemnly: "Auntie, after I enter the palace, you must not be soft-hearted in the Jiang Mansion anymore. Your safety is the most important thing.
As for Madam Jiang and Jiang Luoyu, it's best not to see them. Father won't let them embarrass you too much because I'm in the palace."
This is all she can do for Liu Yan.
If Liu Yan remained the same as before, she would not be able to...
Liu Yan nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.
After going through so much, her state of mind has changed dramatically. She is no longer the cowardly and patient person she used to be.
--------------------
The day I entered the palace, at the gate of Jiang Mansion.
A pink sedan was parked outside the door, and Eunuch Li stood at the door with an imperial edict in his hand, waiting for the distinguished guest to come out.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family was the woman chosen by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, simply because her horoscope matched that of Your Majesty. The abbot of Yunyin Temple once said that this horoscope was very suitable for Your Majesty.
Pray for a child and you will get one.
The Empress Dowager was naturally overjoyed and immediately issued an oral order to confer the title of noble lady on the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and to quickly enter the palace.
At this moment, Jiang Zhili, dressed in a light blue dress, walked out, followed by Liu Yan, who was dressed elegantly, and behind them were maids and old women.
At this time, Liu Yan was dressed as a concubine, with exquisite and luxurious headwear and clothes made of silk and gilded silk.
Her narrow eyes were once again filled with luster, and the dullness and cowardice in them had disappeared, replaced by tenacity and brightness.
"Don't be frugal with your money after you enter the palace. Spend it when you should. If it's not enough, send someone to tell your mother that she will prepare it for you!" Liu Yan patted Jiang Zhili's hand and instructed carefully.
Jiang Zhili nodded. She had a veil covering her face. After taking a last look at Liu Yan, she bent down and sat in the sedan chair.
Liu Yan walked up to Eunuch Li, took out a gold bar from her arms and put it into Eunuch Li's hand.
"Zhili is a little shy, so she covered her face with a veil. Please don't mind, eunuch."
Eunuch Li felt the heavy gold bars in his hand, and his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
"Madam, you truly love Consort Jiang. You pity all mothers in the world. I, your servant, have never seen it."
This concubine is really generous!
Liu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and thanked Eunuch Li.
Jiang Zhili sat in the sedan chair, swaying slightly, and began to walk forward.
She lifted a corner of the curtain of the sedan chair and saw Liu Yan wiping her tears. When the two looked at each other, Jiang Zhili felt the deep mother-daughter love in Liu Yan's eyes...
Jiang Zhili's heart skipped a beat. Before she came to this world, she also had a mother, but her mother took away her life-saving money and never showed up again.
Jiang Zhili only lowered the curtain after Liu Yan disappeared from view.
She erased the effects of the beauty pill in her mind, and her appearance gradually returned to normal after taking the beauty pill.
But at this time her face was covered with a veil, so her stunning beauty could not be seen.
The sedan chair traveled for more than half an hour before entering the side gate of the palace.
She was just a noble lady and had no right to enter the palace through the gate.
After entering the palace gate, the sedan chair continued to travel for a long time before finally stopping.
It was already noon, and Jiang Zhili was already sweating profusely while sitting in the sedan chair.
Although the weather in ancient times was much cooler than it is today, it is midsummer now and the temperature is still a bit high when Ruanjiao is driving on the road.
In addition, she hadn't eaten since she got up, and now she was tired and hungry, feeling like she was going to have a heatstroke.
"My dear, this is your Xunyu Palace," Eunuch Li lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and gestured to Jiang Zhili with a smile that he could get out.
Xiao Tao, who had been following the sedan chair, hurried forward and helped Jiang Zhili out of the sedan chair.
Jiang Zhili was helped by Xiaotao to a shady place. She looked at the somewhat desolate palace in front of her and frowned slightly.
