Recently, I received news that the Queen Mother is leaving the palace to go to Lishan Hot Spring.
Lishan is far to the north, and it takes a day's journey to get there. Moreover, there have been many bandits there recently.
Why would the Queen Mother suddenly want to go to Lishan at this time?
Shi Wei felt that there must be a conspiracy here, and she felt that something big was going to happen this time.
At night, Shi Wei changed into night clothes and went straight to Zhangtai Palace.
This time, the number of guards in Zhangtai Palace more than doubled.
If Shi Wei hadn't been told that this was the Empress Dowager's bedroom, she would have suspected that some serious criminal was being held here.
Shi Wei quietly lit the incense.
He hid in a tree and observed carefully, ready to wait until the person relaxed and fainted before sneaking in.
Before her incense could take effect, a tall black shadow swooped onto the roof and quickly disappeared.
Dabai woke up and said with emotion: "This man's kung fu is really good."
Shi Wei nodded: "It's good, but he seems very anxious, otherwise he wouldn't rush out like this."
"What's the big deal? He's already succeeded!"
"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Dabai: “…”
Shi Wei smiled and said, "You think everyone in this palace is a vegetarian. If nothing unexpected happens, these guards should be masters that the dog emperor has gathered from all over the place."
"While we can defeat them in battle, it would be better if we could rely on our wits and strategies."
Dabai looked disgusted: "Are you sure it's not because you're lazy?"
“Why bother wasting time when you can save yourself the trouble?”
Shi Wei said this, jumped down from the tree, and walked directly towards an empty house.
As soon as she entered the room, a sword was pressed against her slender, fair neck.
"Is this how you treat your savior?" Shi Wei said, her eyes already looking at Liu Jin, and her hands fearlessly pulled off the black veil on Liu Jin's face.
"Woman, you are looking for death!" Liu Jin took the veil back and looked out with a serious look.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "If I help you find the Queen Mother this time, how will you thank me?"
Liu Jin looked at her with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, as if he was considering something.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't ask for much this time. You just need to tell me about your relationship with the Queen Mother."
Liu Jin was silent for a moment before he said coldly, "Why should I trust you?"
Shi Wei's face was indifferent. "Two people trying to figure it out is better than one person, right?" Besides, I've helped you once before. If you really don't believe me, there's nothing I can do.
This statement was too weak, and Shi Wei was too lazy to say more. At most, she could think of other ways to find out.
Liu Jin was silent for a long time, just when Shi Wei thought he would not say anything.
His voice, as cold as frost, finally rang out in the empty house: "She is my mother."
“???”
No matter how hard she guessed, Shi Wei couldn't guess the reason.
Shi Wei asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Liu Jin's tone became even colder: "No comment!"
"Tsk! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me! I'll find out sooner or later."
Liu Jin's gaze unconsciously turned to Shi Wei, with a rare gentleness in his eyes.
When Wei looked at him, he immediately looked away.
He said coldly, "Didn't you say you could take me to see the Queen Mother?"
Shi Wei looked nonchalant. She hushed and said with a smile, "Don't be impatient!"
"Just wait! It will be soon." Shi Wei looked at the guards outside and whispered, "One, two, three!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of people falling to the ground outside, and Liu Jin also felt a little dizzy.
After seeing the situation outside, he understood everything. He stared at Shi Wei with his blazing peach blossom eyes.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't consider you."
At the moment when Liu Jin was about to faint, Shi Wei took out a silver needle and pierced his acupuncture point, and Liu Jin woke up instantly.
Shi Wei said, "Let's go!"
Liu Jin followed her and walked out openly. All the guards outside fell to the ground.
Liu Jin took a closer look and realized that the drug was extremely effective. The pain where he was pricked by the needle had not yet subsided.
Liu Jin curiously asked Shi Wei, "Have you studied medicine?"
"No."
"Then you pierce here..."
"Oh, I've seen the acupuncture points and know where it hurts the most."
Liu Jin: No wonder he was woken by the pain...
It was much easier to enter the Empress Dowager's palace this time. Soon, Shi Wei pushed the door open and walked into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
When she saw her, the empress dowager was still a little wary, but when Liu Jin's figure appeared in the room, tears instantly welled up in the empress dowager's calm eyes.
She burst into tears: "Jin'er?"
Liu Jin rushed to the empress dowager, and there was a rare hint of excitement in his calm and cold voice.
"Mother, I finally see you."
The Queen Mother excitedly held Liu Jin's hand tightly. As if she had thought of something, she immediately said in fear and shock, "Hurry up and leave!"
"quick!"
"Don't let His Majesty find out."
Shi Wei pulled off her veil and stepped forward, saying, "Don't be afraid. The Emperor has been poisoned and is recuperating. He can't spare the time to come here."
The Queen Mother was relieved after hearing this. She asked nervously, "How did you get in?"
Shi Wei smiled and said, "I put some drugs in there!"
"This palace?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Are you Gu Shiwei?"
Shi Wei nodded and asked, "Do you know me?"
The Queen Mother said with a look of nostalgia, "When you and Zhao'er got married, I went to watch the ceremony."
"Is Zhao'er treating you well?"
Shi Wei smiled: "If it were good, would I still be here?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and her eyes became quiet.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Jin'er wouldn't have been banished to the frontier."
Liu Jin's expression was indifferent as he said in a low voice, "Mother, please rescue you first. I have received news that the carriage you will be traveling in tomorrow has been tampered with."
"How is that possible?" the Queen Mother asked in shock, "Could it be that Zhao'er wants to kill me?"
Liu Jin fell silent.
Shi Wei interjected calmly, "That should be the case."
"So this king must rescue you before tomorrow."
The Queen Mother was startled, and then something occurred to her. She shook her head and said, "No, I can't go out. Otherwise, Zhao'er won't be able to see me tomorrow and will kill you."
Shi Wei smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this. I have my own way."
When Shi Wei said this, her eyes looked at Liu Jin intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Jin also looked at her with his deep eyes. He was also very curious about the method Shi Wei mentioned.
"Don't worry!" Shi Wei assured, "I won't kill you and your child."
Liu Jin was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, I believe you."
"I owe you another favor. From now on, no matter what it is, as long as you ask me, I will definitely do it."
After he finished speaking, he pulled the Queen Mother and jumped onto the roof, and soon disappeared.
Shi Wei sat in the empress dowager's bedroom for a while, arranged the scene, and then walked towards Liu Zhao's bedroom.
