Zheng Quchi's mind was not idle on the way. She had already come up with a plan, so as soon as she arrived in front of Yuan Chuhua, she hurriedly shouted: "Princess, something terrible has happened. His Highness went to see the Queen. His expression was strange yesterday. I am worried that he might do something stupid when he went to see the Queen this time."
Zheng Quchi started spouting nonsense, his aim being to create panic among the people.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yuan Chuhua could no longer indulge in the leisurely activity of watering flowers. She turned around and stared intently at Zheng Quchi with her phoenix eyes.
Are you telling the truth?
“How could this be faked? If you don’t believe me, go to the Queen’s Yanchun Palace and see for yourself. I also woke up this morning to find the Crown Prince missing, and then I remembered him talking about some things from the past last night, so I was a little worried that he might act impulsively…”
All the past events were just her conjectures, but she knew that there must be some deep-seated hatred between Yuan Xingzhou and the Queen Consort. Now that Yuan Xingzhou had obtained the title of regent and was about to obtain the real power of the three armies' golden seal, she didn't believe that the two of them, mother and daughter, could not be flustered.
The older generation may be very shrewd and able to remain calm and control the situation, but the younger generation may not be so.
"I don't really want to get involved in this, but I can't ignore it. If His Highness really decides to kill..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Chuhua's expression changed drastically and she rushed out of the room. Zheng Quchi saw that there was a chance and immediately took off after her, following her like a little tail. In the end, they arrived at the Queen's side without any obstacles.
Indeed, in her haste, Yuan Chuhua instinctively ran to the Queen's bedchamber. Along the way, the guards and palace servants all respectfully gave way to Princess Sheng'an, and no one dared to stop her. Although they also spotted Zheng Quchi out of the corner of their eyes, seeing that she was following Yuan Chuhua, they assumed that they were traveling together.
Zheng Quchi didn't think much of it, and since she didn't know the way, she went wherever Yuan Chuhua went. She was completely bewildered when she arrived at a very luxurious room and saw the Queen adjusting her hairpin in front of the mirror.
...Is this not a reception hall?
It doesn't look like it. What kind of decent person would put a bed, dressing table, bronze mirror and chamber pot in the living room?
What about Yuan Xingzhou?
Could she have met the Queen even before Yuan Xingzhou?
A bead of cold sweat silently slid down Zheng Quchi's forehead.
Seeing Yuan Chuhua panting and looking around anxiously as soon as she arrived, Bo Ji frowned and said sternly, "What kind of behavior is this! Sheng An, you are a princess of a country, barging into my bedroom so early in the morning with such improper manners. Is this how I have been teaching you for more than ten years?"
Seeing that Bo Ji did not seem to have officially gotten up yet, Yuan Chuhua breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, has Yuan Xingzhou been here?"
After the palace maids finished dressing and grooming the queen, they bowed and quietly filed away.
Upon hearing this, Bo Ji finally understood why Yuan Chuhua had such an expression. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled coldly: "Here you are."
"Where is he now?" Yuan Chuhua asked, puzzled.
"In the West Warm Pavilion."
The West Warm Pavilion was the living room of Yanchun Palace.
"What exactly does he want to do by coming here this time?"
“Heh, what else could it be…” Before Bo Ji could finish speaking, her eyes widened and her voice faltered when she saw her reflection in the mirror.
She turned around abruptly, her brows furrowed as she looked behind Yuan Chuhua, pointed at Zheng Quchi who looked innocent and embarrassed, and said sternly, "What is she doing here?"
she?
who is she?
Yuan Chuhua turned around in confusion and was stunned.
She exclaimed, "How did you get here?"
Zheng Quchi: "..."
So, you two, mother and daughter, are so arrogant and have never taken her seriously from beginning to end?
Zheng Quchi honestly replied, "I came here with the princess."
Bo Ji immediately glared at Yuan Chuhua with hostility.
Yuan Chuhua looked utterly speechless. She hadn't expected Zheng Quchi to be so shameless. It was clearly Zheng Quchi who had come to her and started the trouble, yet now she was being blamed for everything: "I...I was in a moment of panic, so I didn't..."
Bo Ji narrowed her eyes, then suddenly smiled, stopping Yuan Chuhua's explanation: "Alright, what brings the General's wife here?"
While the mother and daughter were chatting, Zheng Quchi hadn't been idle either; she had been secretly observing everything around her.
But after she had thoroughly observed the Queen's bedroom, she suddenly realized with a headache that although she knew that Shenmu Meng could save her little sister, she had forgotten to ask Yuan Xingzhou what exactly this Shenmu Meng was.
The name sounds like "wooden".
But does it have to be wood? Could it be a vessel? Something to eat? Something to use? Something to wear?
She finally has such a rare and wonderful opportunity, but she doesn't know what the Divine Wood Dream is. She can't turn around and talk to Yuan Xingzhou about it in detail, nor can she just ask them directly...
"I came to offer some advice to the Queen. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester," she replied absentmindedly.
Upon hearing this, Bo Ji stood up, looking at Zheng Quchi as if he were an idiot: "What do you know?"
Yes, she doesn't understand anything. She's just making conversation here to see if anything in the room resembles Shenmu Meng.
This name is quite strange; it's a mix of divine, wooden, and dreamlike.
Is it the artificial rockery with lots of small trees on it? Or the parrot in the cage? Or the ornaments on the table?
"If the Queen insists on being an enemy of the Crown Prince, she will be an enemy of the King. Aren't you afraid?"
The mere mention of the Prince of Ye caused Bo Ji to grit her teeth. She would never forget the humiliation she suffered yesterday!
