Gu Ningye frowned and fell into deep thought.
Yu Guopu asked, "What are you worried about? Why don't I go with you?"
Gu Ningye shook her head: "You should rest and recuperate a bit more. I'll go out of the palace to take a look first."
"Then be careful."
Gu Ningye nodded and then went out.
...
In Pingkangfang, Gu Ningye, disguised, arrived at Dingxianju escorted by eight guards.
A woman was already waiting outside the door.
"May I ask if you are Empress Dowager Gu?"
When the woman saw Gu Ningye, she immediately wanted to come up to greet him, but she was stopped by his bodyguards.
Gu Ningye sized up the woman and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Although I haven't visited the Ice Phoenix clan for a long time, I still remember their general appearance very clearly.
"Empress Dowager Gu, do not worry. Your family members are inside. I am just someone waiting for a message."
"Then please lead the way."
After Gu Ningye finished speaking, she and eight guards planned to go inside together.
But she was quickly stopped by the woman.
"Empress Dowager Gu, our employer said that what we discussed today concerns the survival of the Ice Phoenix Clan, so it's best not to let outsiders know about it."
Gu Ningye hesitated for a moment, then said to the guards, "You all wait here."
After saying this, he followed the woman into Dingxian Residence.
Before entering, Gu Ningye used the aura of the Ice Phoenix to leave a mark at the entrance, just in case.
Upon entering the house, it was found to be empty.
Just as Gu Ningye was about to ask a question, she heard the woman say, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, the employer will be here shortly."
After saying that, he left and closed the door behind him.
Gu Ningye looked around. The furnishings inside the house were unremarkable; it was just an ordinary house.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, seeing that the person still hadn't arrived, Gu Ningye was just about to leave.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager..."
A lewd voice sounded from behind.
Looking back, she saw a plump old man with asymmetrical eyes and yellowish hair, who was staring at Gu Ningye with a toad-like face.
Who are you?
Gu Ningye instinctively sensed danger and, while asking the question, involuntarily took a few steps toward the door.
"I never imagined that the Empress Dowager of the Great Yin Dynasty, who is so virtuous and noble, would be so beautiful. The Ice Phoenix bloodline is indeed a top-quality bloodline that nourishes the complexion and enhances beauty."
"To make you, nearing fifty, more beautiful and charming than a twenty-year-old girl, hehehe..."
Gu Ningye frowned and immediately turned around to push the door open.
However, it was bounced back by a mysterious barrier force.
"what are you up to."
"Hehehe, the Empress Dowager will find out soon enough what we're doing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blond-haired man sprinkled a smothering powder on his face.
Gu Ningye suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed unconscious on the floor.
"Hehe, no way, this Empress Dowager Gu is simply an absolute stunner, I have to take a bite first."
Just as the blond-haired man was about to loosen his belt and assault Gu Ningye, another voice sounded from behind.
"Who gave you permission to touch her!"
A young man in black, wearing a half-mask and with a cold look in his eyes, was staring fiercely at the blond-haired man with his hands behind his back.
"The contact will arrive tonight. If things go wrong and you offend the higher-ups, you know what will happen to you."
The blond-haired man said with a regretful expression, "Never mind, but I've never seen such a beauty in my entire life."
"That's enough. Just do your own thing. Niu Shiren from the Southern Region is almost here. Once you leave Chang'an, no one will stop you from doing whatever you want."
"Alright then, I'll just have to bear with it a little longer."
The half-masked man ignored the blond-haired man, hoisted Gu Ningye onto his back, glared at the blond-haired man, and left through the secret passage.
