“Yes.” Atuo Jianghua nodded, then asked with a hint of doubt, “I wonder what’s in the Empress Dowager’s palace that Gu Heng wants. Does the Duke of Jingguo know about it?”
Xiao Yan pondered for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and a gloomy look crossed his brow.
It is the will.
Few people in this world know about the late emperor's will, but he happens to know it.
It seems that Gu Heng must have known about the will, which is why he sent Wen Ruyi to Jingci Palace.
If that's the case, the Empress Dowager will be in great danger.

"What's wrong?" Atuo Jianghua couldn't help but ask when she saw him frowning.
Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and suddenly grabbed her hand. "A-Tuo Jiang Hua, starting tomorrow, you will go to Jingci Palace. On the fifteenth, we must take the Empress Dowager with us."
A-Tuo Jiang Hua was startled by his sudden serious expression and nodded hesitantly, "Okay."
“Show this to the Empress Dowager, and she will believe you.” Xiao Yan took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it in her hand.
"What is this?" Atuo Jianghua took it and looked it over.
“This was a gift from the Empress Dowager when I was born. Take this to her, and she will know that I sent you,” Xiao Yan explained.
Upon hearing this, Atuo Jianghua quickly put the jade pendant away, saying, "I understand."
"Remember, these things must never be known to anyone else, otherwise none of us will be able to leave," Xiao Yan warned.
Atuo Jianghua nodded seriously, "I understand, I will not reveal a single word." She still wanted to leave quietly and return to Xinjiang.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt relieved.
While the two were discussing the matter of leaving the palace, in Xianghe Palace, Empress Dowager Guo had just finished listening to Qinglian's report.
"...Are you telling the truth? That bitch Wen Nongnong, is she really dead?"
“Yes, I have seen the head that Chiyu Tower brought back with my own eyes,” Qinglian replied. “Not only that, the woman named Shen Qingning is also dead.”
