After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Eunuch Chang was heartbroken, but he didn't have the courage to beg the Princess to show off her cooking skills in the kitchen.

The Queen Mother was the first to beat him to death.

Xiangzhi looked at Eunuch Chang's sad expression and felt puzzled.

Yu En took the map and the empress dowager's decree and left the palace to go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

Liu Zhengfang went to the military camp. Qianfeng Mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Marquis Xuanping had been defeated there. This time he led his troops not only to successfully wipe out the bandits, but also to rescue Marquis Xuanping. He was under great pressure. He almost lived and ate in the army these days, and discussed the best attack plan with his generals.

When the housekeeper came to deliver the message, Liu Zhengfang was stunned.

The Duke of Huguo's Mansion and Queen Dowager Qin have always kept their distance from each other, and this time I was chosen by the Emperor. What does the Queen Dowager mean by this?

Could it be that he was worried and came to warn him again, asking him to take better care of Qin Zian who was traveling with him?

Lin Zhengfang did not dare to delay and returned home.

Yu En was sitting in the main hall drinking tea. Even though he was a eunuch, the wife of the Duke of Huguo did not dare to leave him alone. Outside the palace, Yu En stood up, representing the Queen Mother Qin.

Even the Queen had to be courteous to him, and the wife of the Duke of Protectorate did not dare to put on airs in front of him.

It was not until the servants outside came to greet her that Lady Huguo breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Liu Zhengfang had returned home.

She had never dealt with the eunuchs around the Empress Dowager, and she didn't know why Yu En came today, so the wife of the Duke of Huguo felt a little uneasy. With Liu Zhengfang back home, she had a backbone.

Yu En put down his teacup, stood up and saluted: "Your servant greets the Duke of Protectorate."

"Eunuch Yu, please excuse me." Liu Zhengfang raised his hand and looked at Yu En with a serious expression: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I wonder what the Empress Dowager wants?"

Yu En glanced at the servants in the main hall and said, "Please ask the Duke of the Protectorate to dismiss the attendants."

"Let's all go back."

Liu Zhengfang waved to everyone and said.

The wife of the Duke of Protectorate was just hesitating whether to leave when she heard Yu En speak.

It was obvious that he was not avoiding her, so she sat back with peace of mind and listened to what he said.

"Duke Protector of the Country, this is a detailed map of Qianfeng Mountain. There is a secret passage at the foot of the mountain that leads directly to the village. Although we don't know where Marquis Xuanping is imprisoned, we can definitely catch the bandits off guard by going up the mountain through this secret passage. By then, Second Master Qin will negotiate with the bandits openly to buy you some time."

As Yu En spoke, he handed the thing in his hand to the Duke of Protectorate.

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Protectorate opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

What did he hear?

The Queen Mother actually sent him a map of Qianfeng Mountain.

The secret of the secret passage was told to him.

Shouldn't the Queen Mother tell him that Qin Zi'an is in the team? This way, the Qin family will surely make great contributions, which will also boost her arrogance.

The Duke of Huguo did not wonder why the Queen Mother knew about the secret passage of Qianfeng Mountain. The Queen Mother Qin, who was extremely powerful, always had some unknown means.

"The Queen Mother, give it to me?" The Duke of Protectorate was so shocked that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Yu En nodded with a smile, and under the stunned gaze of the wife of the Duke of Huguo, he slowly said: "In fact, this map was sent to the Duke by the Princess of Ming County, who asked the Queen Mother to send me to the Duke. She went to the palace to have lunch with the Queen Mother, and it would be too late to come to the Duke's Mansion after leaving the palace, so I made a trip."

"Princess Ming will have lunch with the Queen Mother?" Liu Zhengfang's voice broke and he felt that his brain could hardly keep up.

Incredible.

Let’s not talk about how Gu Zhiyin made friends with the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother Qin was so unapproachable and cold-blooded that even his sister, the current Queen, was afraid of her. Unless it was necessary, she would avoid the Queen Mother's presence.

Not to mention accompanying the Queen Mother for meals.

After so many years in the palace, we have only sat at the same table during palace banquets. At other times... it's impossible!

After being stunned for a moment, the wife of the Duke of Huguo came to her senses and asked Yu En nervously, "Eunuch Yu, excuse me for asking, but how did Yinyin know the Empress Dowager?"

Curiosity was one reason, but the main reason for Lady Protector of the Country was worry.

I was afraid that Gu Zhiyin, who was too young to be fearless, would think that the Queen Mother was easy to get along with, and in the end he would suffer the consequences.

Yu En: "This is a long story. The Princess of the County is the Queen Mother's savior, and the two of them get along very well. The Queen Mother recognized her as her granddaughter. The Princess of the County is a filial daughter, so the Queen Mother also loves her very much, no less than her own granddaughter."

"Granddaughter?" Liu Zhengfang felt that his ears might be blind. He could only repeat Yu En's words over and over because of shock.

The wife of the Duke of Protectorate swallowed and suppressed the surprise in her heart.

After Yu En finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

The Duke of Protectorate and his wife were left staring at each other.

"Why can't I believe it? Yinyin actually became the empress dowager's granddaughter. Duke, do you think the empress dowager is sincere to her?" The wife of the Duke of Protectorate murmured.

Liu Zhengfang lowered his head and glanced at the map in his hand: "It's hard to say whether the Queen Mother is sincere, but what is certain is that Yinyin trusts the Queen Mother very much."

Otherwise, he would not have given the map to the Queen Mother and asked her to send it over.

"The Queen Mother has always lived in the harem, how could Yinyin have saved her?" The doubts in the wife of the Duke of Huguo's heart came over her like a wave: "Also, could it be that the Queen Mother deliberately took advantage of Yinyin's trust and asked Eunuch Yu to send the map over so that you can be used by her?"

It's no wonder she thinks too much. The Queen Mother Qin is so cunning and scheming that she keeps coming up with new tricks one after another. A child as innocent as Yinyin probably doesn't even know she's being used.

Liu Zhengfang frowned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said to the wife of the Duke of Huguo, "Don't spread these speculations outside. Be careful not to let the Queen Mother hear about them and bring disaster to Yinyin. Besides, the child is smart and wise, and acts steadily. He will not blindly believe the Queen Mother. We don't know the reason behind this, so don't jump to conclusions."

After hearing this, the wife of the Duke of the Guards did not get angry, but replied with a serious look: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

There are some things she would only say in front of her husband. Once she leaves the house, she would keep it to herself and would not say a word to anyone else.

"Don't mention it deliberately in front of Yinyin. Just pay more attention to her." Liu Zhengfang said again.

"it is good."

"It's big news that there's a secret passage in Qianfeng Mountain. I'm going to the military camp to make some arrangements. I won't be back until dinner, so you don't have to wait for me."

The wife of the Duke of the Guard nodded and said, "Well, be careful."

"Don't worry, we originally had a 70% chance of winning, but now it has become 100%. We will definitely be able to successfully wipe out the bandits and rescue Marquis Xuanping."

He has the map of Qianfeng Mountain in his hand and Qin Zian arranged by the Queen Mother behind him. If he still loses, he will have no face to come back.

Although I don’t know how the Queen Mother will let Qin Zian delay time with the bandits, there will be no problem since she has intervened.

The Queen Mother Qin, who held real power behind the scenes, was no ignorant woman in her own house.
