"Your Majesty, such thinking is absolutely unacceptable!"
Jiang Mama was trying to dissuade the Empress from this crazy idea, so she raised her voice, which disturbed the palace maids on night duty outside.
Hearing the commotion outside, the Empress gave Jiang Mama a look, and Jiang Mama immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
"Granny, I am well aware of the risks involved, but I cannot wait any longer. If anything else goes wrong, I cannot bear such risks again!"
After a long while, the Empress softened her tone and was no longer as stiff as before.
She removed her nail guards and gently covered Jiang Mama's large hand with hers, touching the thin calluses on Jiang Mama's hand, and spoke frankly.
She was worried that... things might change if she delayed.
The Empress knew more than Jiang Mama, and she was constantly filled with anxiety, fearing that the secret would be easily exposed like a windowpane.
She's having those kinds of dreams now, which is causing her to be unable to sleep at night and fall asleep for a long time.
My heart was filled with anxiety, and day by day, my fear deepened.
The queen knew this was wrong, but she couldn't control herself because she knew she was facing an even greater crisis.
"Granny, there really is no time. We must deal with the Crown Princess quickly, or there will be even bigger trouble."
"Your Majesty, is it really impossible to use Prince Jing's men?"
Granny Jiang shook her head in disbelief. This time, she didn't refute it, but instead asked her mistress.
Although she didn't know why her master was so stubborn, she eventually gave in.
"Heh, Prince Jing won't agree. He's the most cautious person. Let's have Wuyou do it. She and the Crown Princess were once close friends, so the Crown Princess won't be wary of her."
The empress instantly had an idea. She became more and more excited as she spoke, and by the end, she seemed to have already imagined the scene of success.
In her view, the Crown Princess was her greatest enemy; once this major problem was solved, everything else would cease to be an issue.
"Yes, I will send a message to my master."
"Yes, help me to rest."
Seeing that she had persuaded Granny Jiang, the Empress nodded in relief, then felt sleepy and wanted to go back to rest.
Jiang Mama temporarily suppressed her anxiety and took the initiative to help the Empress to the bed.
She was just a servant, and she had already tried to persuade the lady of the house. If the lady of the house insisted on doing so in the end, she would still do as she was told.
As Jiang Mama thought this, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
In the following days, Granny Jiang found an opportunity to contact the Jiang family's spies.
At the same time, the Prince Jing's residence also received a letter from the Empress.
"I didn't expect the Empress to be in such a hurry. I thought she would try to bargain."
Tsk, it seems this Crown Princess is no ordinary woman; she actually drove the Empress to this state?
"I'm becoming increasingly curious about just who this Crown Princess is. How could she have driven the Empress of a nation to such a state? She's probably driven her insane."
As King Jing thought this, his heart felt as if a small pebble had been thrown in, causing ripples to spread.
He was genuinely curious and wanted to explore the palace, but unfortunately, he hadn't had the opportunity recently.
After all, he really wanted to meet someone who could simultaneously bewitch both the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Is she a natural beauty or a ruthless scoundrel? His intelligence camp has quite a few beautiful spies like her.
Unbeknownst to Sheng Changling, the opportunity he had been waiting for was about to arrive...
