After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

After I left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I did not leave the palace directly, but ran towards the Jinxiu Hall.

Mingzhu has come to me again and again, there must be a deeper purpose for her. Since I can't guess it, I might as well just go to her house.

The Jinxiu Hall is not far from the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Xiao Huihui is fast at running, so I arrived at the gate of the Jinxiu Hall in just a cup of tea. However, I did not stop, but continued to ride my horse along the high wall.

A large hall like Jinxiu Hall must have several side doors to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages or servants.

I walked to a secluded place, got off the horse, tied Xiao Huihui to a tree, and then climbed up the tree. The position of the tree was just right to see the backyard of Jinxiu Palace.

Due to the reduction in the number of people in the harem, the number of palace maids and eunuchs in each palace was reduced by half, and the Jinxiu Palace was no exception. The huge backyard was quiet, and not a single palace maid or eunuch could be seen passing by for most of the day.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of patrol soldiers walking in the distance. I hurriedly jumped into the yard, opened the side door, led my little Huihui in, and then closed the yard door.

Just after the gate was closed, the patrolman walked outside and heard someone say, "The footprints and horse hoof prints disappeared at the side door of Jinxiu Palace. Could it be that someone from Jinxiu Palace went out? Have you received any report from Jinxiu Palace about going out?"

Several people responded: “No.”

"No."

The man said, "You stay here and I will go to the front gate to report to the Queen and have a thorough investigation."

"Yes!"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes while hiding behind the door. These patrol soldiers were really a nuisance. It was not easy to do something bad secretly.

The leader just now has probably already run to the front to report. Now I am in a dilemma whether to leave or not.

I had no choice but to lead the horse and continue walking inside. Not long after, I saw the stable!

I was delighted, patted Xiao Huihui's head and said, "Please hide here for a while. I will come to pick you up after they leave."

I hurriedly led Xiao Huihui into the stable. There were three horses in the stable. When they saw Xiao Huihui coming, they actually snorted through their nostrils, as if they were driving Xiao Huihui away.

When Xiao Huihui saw the three unfriendly horses, he glared at them and neighed a few times towards the sky. The three horses actually lowered their heads in fear, trembling and shrank to the side, no longer having the arrogance they had just now.

I didn't expect Xiao Huihui to be so domineering. Just by roaring a few times, he scared the horses so much that they dared not make a sound.

I happily touched Xiao Huihui's head and said, "Not bad, it is worthy of being the BMW that my Ah Man chose. It is indeed impressive."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huihui was shy and rubbed his head against my chest.

I could hear people running in the front yard. I didn't care about anything else. I quickly led Xiao Huihui into the stable and tied him up, then ran away.

As soon as I ran away, the leader of the patrol rushed over with the guards of Jinxiu Palace, but I could only see footprints and horse hoof prints, and no other figure.

The commander was afraid that someone might harm the Empress, so he immediately decided to send more personnel to search for her. However, the head of the Jinxiu Palace guard disagreed, saying, "We have searched the front and back yards, and have not found any suspicious persons. If we continue to search in such a high-profile manner, I am afraid that the Emperor will be displeased."

Everyone knows that the Queen Mother's status is no longer what it used to be. They said that she was asked to recuperate in Jinxiu Palace, but in fact she was under house arrest.

The commander thought about it and realized that it would be difficult to break into the heavily guarded palace and commit a crime. Besides, there were enough guards in the Jinxiu Palace to protect the Queen. If he insisted on searching now, he was afraid that it would cause the Queen's displeasure.

So the commander had no choice but to withdraw his troops, saying, "Your Excellency is right. Since there is nothing to worry about, I will withdraw my troops."

I walked out of the woodshed only when the backyard became quiet.

I stroked my chin and said, "This Jinxiu Palace is getting more and more interesting. They are actually afraid of being investigated. If that's the case, let me take a good look at what shameful things are going on in this palace."

After saying that, I pricked up my ears and listened. After confirming the direction, I took off my cloak, threw it into the woodshed, closed the door, and then quickly walked into a small path next to the woodshed and ran towards the front yard.

The queen's illness was not serious, she was just suffering from depression and would be cured by taking some medicine. However, Zheng Xian's bowl of poison wiped out the little will to live that was left in her heart. Even though the poison was now removed, her body was still like a tattered cloth bag, and her vitality was slipping away bit by bit.

I sneaked into the side room of the main house and saw the queen lying on the bed through the crack in the door. Her face was pale, her cheekbones were high, and she was barely breathing. She had completely lost her former nobility and splendor.

It seems that Mingzhu did not lie, the queen really will not live long.

Who would have thought that Zheng Xian was so cruel that he could kill his wife who had been with him for so many years and had given birth to the prince.

A little palace maid was serving her carefully, but the queen kept her eyes closed and looked lifeless.

I looked for a while and felt that I couldn't see anything here from the Queen, so I turned and walked towards the courtyard where Mingzhu was.

Mingzhu originally had her own palace, but the queen fell ill, so she moved to Jinxiu Palace under the pretext of attending to the queen.

Mingzhu clearly said that she came to take care of the sick, but she was nowhere to be seen. There was only a little palace maid beside the queen. Haha, this daughter is so filial.

While complaining, I walked towards Mingzhu's yard.

I walked smoothly all the way without being discovered. At first, I thought it was because it was getting dark and the servants were lazy and didn't want to go out. However, after walking a few times, I found that it was not that the servants were lazy, but they seemed to have received an order that no matter what happened outside, they were not allowed to leave their houses.

This provides me with great convenience. I can walk sideways or vertically without being stopped by anyone.

I quickly walked to the yard where Mingzhu was.

The reason why I found the target so quickly was because Mingzhu's giggles and vulgar flirting were too harsh.

The gate of the yard was closed and I didn't hear any sound of servants moving around, so I walked to an old tree by the wall, climbed up it, and jumped lightly into the yard.

The yard looked quite large, almost as big as half of the general's mansion, but except for the main house, all other houses in the yard were dark. It was just getting dark, and the servants had turned off the lights and were sleeping in their houses. No one would believe it if I told you.

I quietly walked outside the main house, and the unbearable sound became clearer.

Listening to this blushing voice, I really wanted to just leave, but I had gone through so much trouble to get here, and I didn't want to give up.

So I carefully opened the snow-covered window, looked out, and my God, I saw two big worms fighting on the bed!

This was too shocking to the eyes. I quickly lowered the window, bent down, covered my mouth and gasped.

No wonder all the servants were driven back into the house and not allowed to come out. Anyone who saw such an exciting scene would have a nosebleed.
