When Jiang Zuiyao entered the palace, she still took the unobtrusive road as yesterday. This road was usually untraveled.

Arriving at the gate of Fengzhu Palace, Eunuch Cui went in and passed around a stick of incense before he came out and said to Jiang Zuiyao: "Mrs. Shao, the Queen Mother slept late last night and has just gotten up now."

Jiang Zuiyao looked back at the sky. It was a little late for the Queen Mother to get up at this hour. She must have chatted with Shao Ziqing for a long time last night. When she turned back, she asked in a very small voice: "Eunuch Cui, does he know Shao Ziqing?"

When did you leave last night?"

Eunuch Cui smiled and replied: "I didn't go to bed last night, and I didn't know that. I only know that when I came to serve you this morning, Mr. Shao disappeared."

It seemed that Eunuch Cui didn't intend to talk too much. Jiang Zuiyao naturally wouldn't ask any more questions in a disgusting manner, and said, "Since the Queen Mother didn't get up, I'll just wait here."

Eunuch Cui replied: "I have made it clear to you the purpose of your coming. The Queen Mother said that rescuing people is very important right now, so don't delay. The remaining 130,000 taels will be sent to you later."

"So fast?" Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but sigh.

Eunuch Cui pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother learned of your difficulties last night, so she asked her servants to prepare overnight. She has prepared a full two hundred thousand taels of silver notes."

The Queen Mother was indeed prepared for a rainy day. Her old man Xu also guessed how much money Shaojiang could prepare, so she made an appointment in advance and asked Eunuch Cui to prepare 200,000 taels of silver notes.

Eunuch Cui then left for a while. When he came back, he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Zuiyao: "This is a banknote worth ten thousand taels, thirteen in total. Mrs. Shao, please

Little by little.”

Jiang Zuiyao took the banknotes and counted them one by one. There were exactly thirteen, no more, no less.

Putting the banknotes away carefully, Jiang Zuiyao said to Eunuch Cui: "I'd like to trouble Eunuch Cui to tell the Queen Mother that Mr. Shao will send these 130,000 taels as soon as he has collected enough money from other places in the past few days. After all, the Shao family

The business is so extensive that it will take some time to send the money quickly."

Eunuch Cui replied politely: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shao, I will definitely bring the message to you."

"Thank you, Eunuch Cui."

"Since it is the Queen Mother's order, it is the servant's duty, so don't bother me."

Having said this, Eunuch Cui walked around Jiang Zuiyao's body, pointed to the steps and said, "Without further delay, I will take you out of the palace."

Jiang Zuiyao nodded and followed Eunuch Cui down the steps.

Walking on the secluded corridor, there was not a single passerby. Every time he walked a certain distance, he could see guards guarding him. Jiang Zuiyao asked, "This road must be heavily guarded, right?"

Eunuch Cui nodded: "Yes, this road is specially designed by the palace. Mrs. Shao can just walk on it without worries. No one will know that you have entered the palace."

Jiang Zuiyao was not worried about this, but she still asked curiously: "Yesterday, I was brought into the palace by Eunuch Cui. Isn't it eye-catching?"

As Eunuch Cui walked forward, he smiled and replied: "Mrs. Shao, don't worry too much. It is said that Mrs. Shao is coming to the palace. You are sitting in the sedan chair. You have not shown your face all the way. No one will see you."

.”

Despite this, Jiang Zuiyao knew that there was no airtight wall in the world. Although no one saw her along the way, there was no guarantee that she would not be known.

As soon as this idea came to fruition, I saw a person walking out of the corner in front. Looking from a distance, I saw that he was very luxurious in gold and silver.

This also attracted Eunuch Cui's attention. After all, he had just finished speaking those words, and someone suddenly appeared at this moment, which was indeed a bit out of place.

But this also makes people very confused. Who would show up in such a heavily guarded place?

When I got closer, I saw that it was none other than Jiang Zuiyao's concubine, Jiang Ningyao.

After many days, I saw Jiang Ningyao again. Dressed in luxury, I knew she had made a comeback.

Eunuch Cui saluted and said, "I'd like to see my concubine Xi."

Jiang Ningyao's eyes never fell on Eunuch Cui for a moment. She was staring at Jiang Zuiyao from beginning to end.

At the same time, Jiang Zuiyao was also looking at Jiang Ningyao. Compared to the impetuous and vicious woman she used to be, she was now much calmer. From those cold eyes, Jiang Zuiyao could see full of hatred.

Although Eunuch Cui also noticed Jiang Ningyao's mood, he didn't ask much and only said: "Why is the Empress Xibi here?"

Jiang Ningyao then looked at Eunuch Cui and said, "In such a strict place, without His Majesty's will, I can actually come and go at will?"

In a word, Eunuch Cui didn't want to ask any more questions. After all, it was the emperor's wish.

Jiang Ningyao then said: "Eunuch Cui, don't worry. I also learned the news about my sister's entry into the palace from Your Majesty, so I will definitely not talk about it everywhere. My sister is my sister-in-law, and I am responsible for it."

Keep it tight-lipped.”

How could Jiang Ningyao have such kind thoughts? These words are just perfunctory. After all, Eunuch Cui will definitely inform the Queen Mother of the matter. With these words, she can go ahead, and with the emperor's permission, the Queen Mother will naturally not be able to surrender.

Sinful.

Eunuch Cui is a smart man. Of course he understood the deep meaning of these words. He smiled and said: "What Xibin said is that since we are sisters from our mother's family, there is nothing to worry about."

Immediately, Jiang Ningyao said: "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I am also worried about you. I have nothing else to do here today. I just want to have a few words with my sister to reassure me."

Eunuch Cui immediately took a few steps back and replied: "Then I won't bother you. I'll wait in front. It's just that Empress Xibi has something to say quickly. You can't delay for too long, and I won't be able to return to my life."

Jiang Ningyao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Eunuch Cui, I won't embarrass you."

"Thank you, Madam Xi, for your consideration." Eunuch Cui saluted Jiang Ningyao and walked forward.

Zhan Feng glanced at Jiang Zuiyao, who said, "You and Eunuch Cui go together and wait for me. I'll have a few words with my sister."

But Zhan Feng refused: "I can't leave you even half a step."

Jiang Zuiyao frowned slightly, a little reluctantly. After all, she knew that Jiang Ningyao couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, so what he said would definitely not be nice. If Zhan Feng listened to it, it would inevitably be a bit bad.

Zhan Feng also saw Jiang Zuiyao's reluctance, but still said helplessly: "This is an order, I can't disobey it. If something happens, I can't explain it."

Of course Jiang Zuiyao understood that the leader's order was the highest order. If anything happened to Jiang Zuiyao while Zhan Feng left, it would be Zhan Feng's dereliction of duty. In this case, he had no choice but to accept Zhan Feng's orders.

exist.

Listening to such a simple conversation between the two, Jiang Ningyao's lips curled up coldly, and the unpleasant words came out: "I thought that my sister had changed her flirtatious temper, but now she is married, and she is still so unclear with other men.
