The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

The young girl, who was in her prime, had an innocent look on her face. Her upturned eyes looked less sharp and charming than her fox eyes. Her eyes were shining with expectation, as if she really hoped to stay in the Empress Dowager's palace.

Empress Dowager Xie's eyes twitched slightly, and the smile at the corner of her lips was cold and meaningful. "That's great, I'm so happy."

As she spoke, she lazily glanced at the palace maid standing silently behind her and said, "Go, clean up the East Courtyard for Miss Su."

"Yes." The one being instructed by Empress Dowager Xie was Ziwei, the head maid of the Cining Palace. She respectfully said to Empress Dowager Xie, "Your Majesty, Miss Su probably hasn't prepared to change out of her regular clothes yet. I'll have the Shangyi Bureau send some dresses for Miss Su to choose from."

"You take care of the arrangements." Empress Dowager Xie said casually, without any intention of asking Su Jixue's opinion.

Su Jixue said gratefully, "The Queen Mother's arrangements are indeed appropriate. I'll trouble Aunt Ziwei."

In fact, Empress Dowager Xie was just speaking casually and she never expected that Su Jixue wanted to stay, but she didn't know that Su Jixue wanted to stay.

Moreover, Su Jixue also knew that as long as she wanted to stay, Queen Mother Xie would definitely not refuse.

After all, Su Jixue was the fiancée of the War King. With Su Jixue in hand, it would be much easier for Queen Mother Xie to do anything she wanted. Moreover, Su Jixue was well-known, so Queen Mother Xie might want to win her over.

Therefore, Su Jixue rarely used her acting skills.

As soon as Su Jixue said this, Empress Dowager Xie and Ziwei turned their heads. Although Ziwei was the senior maid beside the Empress Dowager, she was not as famous as Eunuch Wei and Aunt Jinning. She was only responsible for affairs within the palace and not for external affairs, so she was not actually well-known.

But in fact, many of the internal affairs of the Cining Palace were managed by Ziwei. Although she was still young, she was respectfully called "Auntie". This was simply because Ziwei was the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Xie's former wet nurse, and was considered an absolute confidant of Empress Dowager Xie.

The fact that Su Jixue could call out Ziwei's name made Empress Dowager Xie and Ziwei slightly surprised. This meant that Su Jixue was at least not as stupid as the rumors said.

"It seems that King Zhan cares about you more than the rumors say." The look in Empress Dowager Xie's eyes when she looked at Su Jixue was a little darker than before.

Su Jixue was able to save Lu Jing, the grandson of Empress Dowager Xie, which represents her own value.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether the so-called appreciation of Su Jixue by Prince Zhan was an act or the truth. It was Empress Dowager Xie's marriage decree that really brought them together.

Because Queen Mother Xie needed Prince Zhan to have another weakness, it was Queen Mother Xie who insisted on turning this matter, which she didn't know whether it was true or not, into reality.

But unexpectedly, this Su Jixue is actually quite something.

After all, it is unlikely that the news from Empress Dowager Xie's palace was provided by Prime Minister Su or Shen, because even they may not be clear about the connection.

But it’s different for Prince Zhan. With the entanglement between Prince Zhan and Empress Dowager Xie, Empress Dowager Xie knows everyone around Prince Zhan, and the people around Empress Dowager Xie believe that Prince Zhan must also be aware of it.

And Su Jixue knew that it must have been taught by the King of War.

"Your Majesty, you're joking." Su Jixue lowered her head shyly, knowing that the bait had been cast and the fish was about to take the bait.

Su Jixue had never been that interested in the news about Empress Dowager Xie, but she knew all the important figures around the leaders of these countries.

You can guess who it is just by comparing the numbers.

I'm afraid Empress Dowager Xie has misunderstood, but Su Jixue is happy to see this misunderstanding.

"It seems that I really did not arrange a wrong marriage for you. Here, this is the bracelet I have been wearing. I like it very much when I see you today, and it suits you very well." Empress Dowager Xie said to Su Jixue, beckoning her to come over, and then took off the bright red pigeon blood stone bracelet on her wrist.

"Empress Dowager, this is the bracelet you have been wearing for so many years." Aunt Ziwei, who had not yet left the house, was stunned. She really didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xie would give this to Su Jixue. It was too precious.

"Then Ji Xue cannot be accepted." Su Jixue deliberately raised the pronunciation of "ji" a few times and directly called herself Ji Xue.

Empress Dowager Xie paused, then looked at Ziwei with dissatisfaction: "Ziwei, you talk too much. After you finish cleaning up Miss Su's place, kneel in front of the palace."

"Yes." Ziwei lowered her head.

"Empress Dowager, thank you for your favor. Aunt Ziwei is also thinking about you. Please don't punish her this time." Su Jixue seemed unable to bear to see Ziwei suffer, and could not help but plead with the Empress Dowager.

"This won't happen again. Go down quickly." Empress Dowager Xie waved her hand, asked Ziwei to leave, then pulled Su Jixue over and put the pigeon blood stone bracelet directly on her hand.

Su Jixue's wrist sank, and then the place where it touched the bracelet suddenly became hot.

There's something wrong with this bracelet.

Empress Dowager Xie was unaware of this. She had already withdrawn her hand, still smiling: "I am a little tired. Take Miss Su to the side hall to rest first."

This is chasing away guests.

A palace maid came forward immediately, but Su Jixue didn't move. She looked at Empress Dowager Xie with embarrassment, "Empress Dowager, Ji Xue's maid is still waiting outside the palace. I wonder if it would be convenient for her to stay with them?"

She deliberately called herself Ji Xue again.

Empress Dowager Xie's forehead twitched, and the headache that had originally subsided came back. She waved her hand and said, "Let her come with you."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and stopped talking.

"Empress Dowager, are you having a headache?" Su Jixue couldn't help but ask when she saw Empress Dowager Xie in such a state.

Empress Dowager Xie opened her eyes slightly, and then she remembered that Su Jixue was good at medicine.

"Why not let Ji Xue give you acupuncture? It should be able to relieve the symptoms." Su Jixue looked at Empress Dowager Xie sincerely, as if she really wanted to share her headache.

"I heard that you are the apprentice of the One-Handed Ghost Doctor?" Empress Dowager Xie asked indifferently, trying hard to avoid that name.

"That's right, Ji Xue is good at acupuncture and can definitely help the Queen Mother." Su Jixue looked at Queen Mother Xie innocently.

"Alright." Empress Dowager Xie closed her eyes again. "Bring Miss Su a set of needles so I can try out her acupuncture skills."

"Empress Dowager, why don't you let the Imperial Hospital verify it first." Aunt Jin Ning didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xie would dare to let Su Jixue perform acupuncture directly.

"No problem." Empress Dowager Xie said these two words and stopped talking. Aunt Jin Ning wanted to say something but hesitated. She could only bow to Su Jixue and said, "Then I'll leave it to Miss Su. Please be careful."

"Don't worry." Su Jixue raised her chin, looking like a proud and arrogant daughter who was very confident in herself: "But Ji Xue needs to wash her hands first."

Su Jixue called herself Ji Xue in front of Empress Dowager Xie. She could clearly see the slight movement of Empress Dowager Xie's eyebrows.

Empress Dowager Xie was by no means indifferent to this name.

A palace maid had already brought a set of acupuncture needles and handed them to Su Jixue.

Just as Su Jixue was about to deliver the first needle, Empress Dowager Xie spoke calmly, "I've already sent people to look for the One-Handed Ghost Doctor, and now we've got some clues. If this acupuncture technique can truly cure my headache, I'll have someone bring the Ghost Doctor back quickly, so you and your disciple can reunite."
