When the eldest princess came, she was very powerful, but it was like punching cotton.
Her lips moved, but no sound came out.
The Queen continued, "Grand Princess, I have always felt that it is a great injustice for the Grand Princess's daughter to be granted only the title of County Princess. This time, the Grand Princess has done a great service in protecting the Emperor. Once the crisis in the capital is resolved, I will personally ask the Emperor for a favor and grant the title of Princess Changle to a Princess."
It seems to be grace, but in fact it is clearly a disguised threat!
The eldest princess clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves, and her eyes looked at the queen more sharply.
However, the Queen seemed not to notice the hatred of the eldest princess at all, and the corners of her mouth remained upward.
In the end, the eldest princess was defeated.
"Thank you, Queen."
"The Grand Princess is so polite."
Staring at the figure of the eldest princess walking away, the queen snorted coldly.
Now, as long as Xiao Xian is dealt with, Xiao Zhao can ascend the throne smoothly!
For so many years, Concubine Rong was like a thorn in her heart, and soon, this thorn would be completely removed.
As soon as the Grand Princess returned to the Grand Princess's Mansion, she noticed someone in the room.
Her eyes suddenly became cold and fierce. She grasped the soft sword wrapped around her waist and mobilized her internal energy. The next second, sword energy and murderous aura swept towards the man standing in the window of the room.
Xiao Xian dodged the dangerous sword and whispered, "Auntie, it's me!"
The eldest princess was startled and quickly put away the sword in her hand.
"Ah Xian?"
Xiao Xian nodded and said, "I've been back for a few days."
"The capital is under martial law now. How did you get in?"
Her heart couldn't help but hang in the air, fearing that this was Xiao Zhao's way of dealing with him.
"We have the help of Shadow Pavilion."
The eldest princess's tightly knitted brows relaxed. "The Shadow Pavilion is very powerful. With their help, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Do you know where my father is being held? Are you sure he's in Laiyi Palace?"
The eldest princess was not surprised at all. After all, the Shadow Pavilion was an organization that could even find out what color underwear you were wearing today. It was a very simple matter for them to find out where Kangdi was imprisoned.
"Yes, but the situation is not good."
The eldest princess clenched her fists tightly when she thought of the queen's arrogant look today.
She took several deep breaths to calm her excitement and told Xiao Xian about the situation in the palace.
"Now we need to get the Empress Dowager out of the palace first."
"Ah Xian, the epidemic is spreading rapidly in the capital right now. Do you think, given the Empress Dowager's condition, that she will be protected from the disease once she leaves the palace?"
From the very beginning, the Queen and Xiao Zhao had been making trouble, and she had thought about moving the Empress Dowager out of the palace.
But outside the palace, the number of people infected with the epidemic increased every day. Even if they left the palace, they could not leave the capital.
Once infected with the disease, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"The plague isn't really a plague."
The eldest princess' pupils constricted. "What do you mean?"
"The water source is polluted, and the epidemic is caused by the water source."
The eldest princess almost bit her teeth to pieces.
"It's really vicious!"
At the beginning of the epidemic, she thought it was really a natural disaster. As a result, she found out today that all this was a conspiracy between Xiao Zhao and the Queen.
For the sake of his own ambition, he actually ignored so many people in the capital. It's so immoral!
"You Li'er..."
Xiao Xian hadn't mentioned Qu Li for a long time. When he mentioned the name again, he suddenly choked up.
The Grand Princess also missed Qu Li very much.
Especially after knowing that Bai Fengyao had done so many evil things under her identity.
According to Changle, Qu Li took advantage of the situation and followed the high priest to Xiling, and solved the problem of disaster relief grain in the north along the way.
So much time has passed now, and I don’t know how she is doing now.
Seeing the sadness and bitterness in Xiao Xian's eyes, she could only suppress her concern for the time being.
"Qu Li's medical skills are quite advanced. With her help, I believe the epidemic in the capital will soon be over. Innocent civilians will also suffer less!"
"Auntie, do you know if there are any secret passages in the palace?"
"Xiao Zhao has been sending people in and out of the palaces under the guise of disinfection these days. If I'm not mistaken, they're probably looking for a secret passage."
The imperial palaces of all dynasties would have a secret life-saving passage leading out of the palace.
Only the emperor knows the entrance and exit of this secret passage.
She couldn't see Kangdi now, and she didn't know where the secret passage was.
"They have been controlling the emperor the entire time. I'm afraid the emperor will reveal the secret passage entrance. If that happens, Xiao Zhao will definitely order his men to block the secret passage entrance. Or he will have someone wait for them at the secret passage exit."
"You just said that Xiao Zhao's people have been going in and out of various palaces under the pretext of disinfection?" Xiao Xian crossed his arms, his cold jaw tense.
"yes."
"This proves that he hasn't found the entrance to the secret passage yet."
"Before, I was too concerned and confused."
"I will try to get into the palace. Everything will be discussed after I see my father."
The eldest princess held his arm.
I had always felt that he looked much more haggard and thinner than before, but when I actually held his arm, I realized how hard he had been running around recently.
"Ah Xian, the palace is very dangerous right now, you'd better not take any risks."
"But as you said before, the Queen and Xiao Zhao have always controlled the Emperor. To this day, you haven't seen the Emperor, right?"
The eldest princess just felt sorry.
"Auntie, don't blame yourself for this. I'm back now, and I will definitely not let Xiao Zhao and the Queen succeed in their conspiracy!"
"Then you must take care of yourself!"
"After I escort the Empress Dowager out of the palace, you will take Changle, Qu Wenzhao, and the others with you and leave the capital first."
After these weaknesses were properly sent out of the capital, he could then go all out to deal with Xiao Zhao.
The eldest princess' eyes were red, and she choked and nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Xian quickly returned to the Shadow Pavilion.
At that time, the mouse also returned to the Shadow Pavilion, and Feng Yi was feeding it jerky.
"Emperor Kang is indeed trapped in Laiyi Palace. His situation is not particularly good. He should be controlled by the Queen and Xiao Zhao using drugs." Feng Yi said.
Xiao Xian didn't think it was strange that mice delivered letters.
It might bring out the situation in the palace... It's really unbelievable
"Are you sure?"
"There are people in the Shadow Pavilion who understand the language of beasts. You don't need to doubt its authenticity."
"This prince has no doubts, but this prince just left the Grand Princess's Mansion."
Qian Jiuzhao's emotions became agitated again. "Do you know that if you rashly go to the Grand Princess, it will likely put us in a passive position?"
"Xiao Zhao set up a trap to force me into it. I will do as he wishes and let him know that I have arrived in the capital. There is nothing wrong with that!"
