Who are they going to deal with?
Besides her and Shang Xiye, who else can the Empress Dowager deal with?
Ji Fengyao understood.
It seems that Shang Yuexi, a well-known wealthy and idle person in the capital, is very clear about the situation inside and outside the palace, and even the entire capital.
She simply couldn't be bothered with those trivial matters that didn't concern her.
And whenever she got involved in something, such as the matter of Shang Chuyue, she handled it very quietly and without attracting any attention, doing it extremely well.
After Ji Fengyao and Shang Yuexi parted ways, Lin Shuang approached Ji Fengyao and whispered, "Your Highness, you will be with the Prince for the rest of the trip. If the Empress Dowager wants to make a move, it may be just around the corner."
at the moment?
Ji Fengyao glanced around. The pavilion belonging to the Ninth Prince's Mansion was not far from here; it was just across the lake. But it wasn't close either; to get there, one would have to walk through several artificial rocks, which would take at least a quarter of an hour.
"What's behind that rockery?" Ji Fengyao asked as she walked.
Lin Shuang took a closer look, her expression slightly taken aback: "Sui Jin Xuan."
"What happened there?" Ji Fengyao asked, turning her head as she noticed her tone was off.
"That's where Consort Xiang used to live," Lin Shuang said, her voice tinged with a mix of melancholy and anger as she spoke of her fallen mistress.
Ji Fengyao, however, found these women in the palace quite interesting.
While harming others, they also don't forget to humiliate them.
Is the Empress Dowager just bored, or does she seem so cunning and shrewd that she even has time to think about a little girl like Lin Shuang?
"Hu Ji" Ji Fengyao softly transmitted her voice into the shadows.
"Hu Ji obeys!" the person in the shadows replied telepathically.
Hu Ji was the locksmith who picked locks at Chen Family Village that day. He claimed that his ancestors were master thieves and was a secret guard. Two days ago, when he came to deliver the news that Song Huiru was having an affair with the Second Prince to Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye saw that he was clever and that Ji Fengyao was very interested in his skills, so he transferred him to Ji Fengyao's side.
In Ji Fengyao's words: "If you don't have two skilled craftsmen around you, it's hard to do bad things."
After Hu Ji left, Ji Fengyao continued walking towards the rockery with her three maids, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.
Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager and the Empress's procession was slowly entering the venue.
Two groups of people, three groups in total, could see each other across the lake.
The Empress Dowager and Aunt Sun glanced casually at Ji Fengyao, and seeing her leading three maids into the rockery, both of them couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Those thirty fake eunuchs were all elite warriors carefully trained by the Empress Dowager for over twenty years. No matter how ruthless you are, you will not escape this fate today!
However, on the other hand...
Ji Fengyao, her three maids, and the hidden guards who had been following her were all on edge, ready for a fight, when suddenly a very pleasant voice came from the artificial hill: "What are you all doing hiding here?"
Shang Beiyu?
Why does he always seem to frequent those hidden corners and nooks of the main palace?
The thirty assassins hiding in the artificial hills looked at each other, speechless. To better conceal their movements, they had been hiding in the crevices halfway up the hill!
Is the Third Prince sick?!
Why would he choose to climb halfway up a mountain instead of using the perfectly good path below?!
Ji Fengyao led three maids into the rockery complex, looking up at a group of people dressed as eunuchs halfway up the mountain, and Shang Beiyu, who looked handsome and elegant in a beige brocade robe in the style of a prince.
The three groups of people stood silently in place, staring at each other.
