Suspicious persons appeared one after another, and An Tingyu could no longer be sure who the murderer was, but the only thing she could be sure of was that the murderer must be among the three of them.
"The Nether Palace is actually already falling apart, and everyone in the world is about to be in danger!" An Tingyu laughed coldly, "It's really varied and getting more and more interesting."
"There have been a lot of rumors about the Nether Palace recently. If they continue like this, the Nether Palace might really start to crack." Dang Yan said.
"Let them spread it! I want to see if the Nether Palace can withstand the test." An Tingyu's sharp eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and then she said: "Although I have always heard that the Nether Palace is a very powerful existence, in my eyes, it may be vulnerable. If it can't even stop a rumor, then... I really need to reorganize the Nether Palace."
"Do you mean to test the Nether Palace through this turmoil?" Dang Yan understood what An Tingyu meant.
"As the law of the world goes, long periods of division will inevitably lead to unification, and long periods of unification will inevitably lead to division. The Netherworld Palace has been passed down for nineteen generations, spanning a thousand years. There has never been anyone who usurped the throne, because the previous masters always hid in the dark. Therefore, its history is longer than any other dynasty. Yet, now, I, the nineteenth concubine, stand at the pinnacle with a high-sounding reputation. Isn't this tantamount to telling the world, 'I am here, waiting for you to take the throne?'"
With thousands of years of history, its hidden power is greater than that of any dynasty. So even though the Nether Palace is not a dynasty and the successive generations of the Lord are not emperors, it has taken deep roots, making every emperor wary of it.
"Do you suspect that this is a problem within the Nether Palace?"
An Tingyu pursed her lips slightly and shook her head. "I'm not sure, I just have this feeling. Of course, maybe my feeling is wrong, and I hope it is wrong."
The sixth sense is a human instinct. She didn't know why she had such an idea. Although she didn't want to doubt anything, just because something has not been confirmed doesn't mean it won't happen. Since she has this feeling, she should take precautions. Of course, the test she mentioned is also a problem.
She is not the real nineteenth generation Lord of the Nether Palace, nor does she know the disciples of the Nether Palace very well. All orders are conveyed by the four hall masters, so through this rumor, she may be able to get some information and then understand the disciples of the Nether Palace. Moreover, she already has this responsibility on her shoulders, so she does not want the Nether Palace to be destroyed in her hands, and she will do her best to protect it. This is the only thing she can do.
"Miss, you are finally back!"
As soon as An Tingyu returned to the An Mansion, Mei Zi came to greet her.
"What's wrong?" An Tingyu asked.
"Miss, the Queen Mother asked you to come to the palace immediately after you return, saying that there is something important to discuss." Mei Zi replied.
"So anxious?" An Tingyu frowned slightly, wondering what the Queen Mother wanted to do. Turning back, she said to Mei Zi: "Take Xi'er in! Dinner..."
An Tingyu paused, "I won't be back for dinner. Aotian and Qingwu will be coming over tonight, so let's prepare something for them!"
We had originally agreed to have dinner together tonight, but it seems that’s not possible.
"Yes!" Mei Zi responded, then took Xiao Yunxi into the mansion.
"Let's go into the palace!" An Tingyu said lightly, and Dang Yan followed her into the palace. It was not until they arrived at the gate of the West Palace that Dang Yan was arranged to wait somewhere else.
In the Anhe Hall of the West Palace, the Queen Mother looked at An Tingyu as she walked into the hall. Her phoenix eyes revealed a complex light, and she asked sharply: "What's wrong with you? Do you want to die?"
"Why does mother say that?" An Tingyu remained calm and said lightly.
"You're still asking me why?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows knitted slightly. "You're so clever, but the rumors have been going on for so long, and you haven't made any move at all? Don't you know that rumors can sometimes be sharper than any weapon?"
Hearing this, An Tingyu smiled slightly, "So you summoned me to the palace just for such a trivial matter?"
"How can you say it's a trivial matter? Do you know what kind of rumors are spreading now? You still think it's a trivial matter?" There was some helplessness in the Queen Mother's eyes. The underworld represents supremacy, but it also represents stability. The four countries became peaceful because of An Tingyu's existence. If something happened to An Tingyu, could the world still be stable?
And An Tingyu, has she never thought about where she is?
"Rumors stop with the wise, and I have other plans."
"Plan? What are your plans? In my opinion, you shouldn't take on this kind of responsibility. You are really crazy for a man." The Queen Mother's voice was a little angry, and her beautiful eyes were deep.
An Tingyu's sharp eyes flashed slightly, and she said: "This is originally my responsibility, how can it be for men?"
What does the Queen Mother mean by this?
Could it be that she knew Jing Aotian was the nineteenth generation Lord of the Netherworld? But how could that be possible? They had never mentioned this to anyone else, and Xing'er didn't know either. If Xing'er knew, she might have heard of it, even to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Isn't it? You shouldn't have stood up when Jing Aotian was mistakenly identified. Exposing yourself for a man is the most foolish and dangerous thing. Now everyone knows that you are the nineteenth generation of the Lord. You, the nineteenth concubine, have become the target of others. Isn't all this because of Jing Aotian?"
In contrast to the Queen Mother's anger, An Tingyu simply said, "But all of this is also your fault. Have you forgotten why I stood up and revealed my identity in the first place?"
Back then, when Mr. An was framed and Jing Aotian came out to vouch for him, the Queen Mother wanted to take the opportunity to seize power, which led to the situation. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, she wouldn't have stood up and said that she was the nineteenth generation Lord of the Nether Palace.
