Although the Duke Dingguo Mansion has kept a low profile for more than ten years, their energy cannot be underestimated.

One day later, before dawn, more than a dozen water delivery mule carts were parked in front of Ping'an Gate.

Ping'an Gate is the palace gate, and these dozen mule carts will park here every day. These mule carts come from the West Mountain.

The mountains and rivers of the West Mountain are beautiful, with more than twenty springs. The spring water is sweet and clear. In the previous dynasty, it was only for the nobles in the palace to drink.

As usual, after testing the sign, the Yulin Army waved and let it go.

An hour later, a little palace maid jumped and walked on the stone bridge in the imperial garden.

She was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate and tender little face, which was reflected red by the rising sun.

A serious-looking nanny came towards her, and two palace maids were followed by the nanny.

Seeing this little palace maid, the nanny's eyes fell on a small flower tied on her collar.

It was a small lilac flower with dewdrops on the petals, which was obviously just picked from the branches.

The nanny frowned and pointed at the little palace maid and said, "You didn't work early in the morning and ran to the imperial garden to pick flowers?"

The little palace maid shook her shoulders, obviously scared. She shook her head vigorously: "This flower was caught by a slave from the lake, not picked."

"Come with me!" The nanny was obviously very angry. She reached out and grabbed the little palace maid's arm and pulled her forward.

The two palace maids following her looked at each other, feeling a little pitiful to this strange little palace maid.

I don’t know which palace it is, but she really doesn’t have any eyes. Didn’t she know that Madam He comes to the Imperial Garden every morning to pick flower branches for the Empress Dowager? Isn’t this hitting the knife? The most severe thing in the entire harem is Madam He.

It seems that this little palace maid cannot escape punishment today.

Although Madam He has been in the harem for many years, her hand is very strong. The little palace maid's slender wrist is caught by her and she can't break free. Of course, the little palace maid doesn't want to break free.

Madam He was tall and walked in the imperial garden with her head held high and her chest held high. From time to time, she ordered the palace maids behind her to cut branches, but her other hand never let go of the little palace maid's wrist.

After about a cup of tea, the flower baskets in the hands of the two palace maids were already full. Madam He said it was OK and would be sent back to Chaoyang Palace now. So the unlucky little palace maid was taken to Chaoyang Palace.

At this time, Empress Yang and Concubine Mao, who were about to become the Queen Mother, were also in Chaoyang Palace. At this time of day, they all came here to pay tribute to the Queen Mother.

Madam He took two palace maids and took the most beautiful flowers in the imperial garden to the main hall.

The little palace maid's luck was not so good. She was locked in a small room in Chaoyang Palace by Madam He and was punished to kneel down. The key was in Madam He's hands. It seemed that this little palace maid really annoyed Madam He. I'm afraid she wouldn't kneel until she fainted, so she wouldn't have any idea of ​​coming out of this small room.

With the sound of the knocking lock, the little palace maid changed into a comfortable position and sat down.

She looked around and there was a teapot on the table, a few snacks, and nothing else.

She walked to the table, squatted down, and climbed under the table. Sure enough, a small bag was stuck under the table.

She took off the bag and found a night-mounted dress from it.

She unfolded the Ye Xing's clothes and found that the clothes were a bit big. Obviously, Madam He didn't know that the girl was coming.

Yesterday, Ama quietly came to Yangliu Hutong. He told Chen Tong that every morning there would be a mule cart that delivers water into the palace. Chen Tong hid in the water truck and sneaked into the palace.

Someone in the palace responded, and the small lilac flowers were the mark.

Chen Tong lifted the lid of the teapot and sniffed it. He pulled out a silver hairpin from his head and tried the tea and snacks one by one, without any poison.

She ate the snacks and then fell to the ground and fell asleep.

She wants to keep her spirits full, and there is another important thing tonight.

However, what happened after entering the palace was really beyond her expectations.

She expected that the Xiao family must have an insider in the palace, but she did not expect that this insider was actually in Chaoyang Palace, next to the Empress Dowager.

Madam He has martial arts skills, and Chen Tong's hand was grabbed by her all the way. She is definitely not the hand of an ordinary woman. Her hands are not only strong, but also have calluses on the tiger's mouth. This is the hand of a martial arts practitioner.

Judging from the respect of the two palace maids, Madam He should be an old man from Chaoyang Palace, and she was a bit decent in front of the Empress Dowager. I don’t know how Xiao Changdun placed such a person next to the Empress Dowager.

What Chen Tong couldn't understand even more was that since there was such a person by the Empress Dowager's side, why did Xiao Changdun allow the Empress Dowager to live to this day?

If it were her, Madam He would have killed the Empress Dowager.

The palace is extremely luxurious, but the floor in the cottage is cold and hard, and Chen Tong can't sleep for a while, and he keeps thinking about Xiao Changdun and Madam He in his mind.

Chen Tong had never seen the late emperor, but she had heard of the legend about the late emperor. I think she was not a promising person.

Xiao Changdun actually took risks for such a guy, which shows his loyalty to Emperor Taizu and the crown prince.

Perhaps it was because of this that he had been reluctant to attack the Empress Dowager, after all, the Empress Dowager is the prince's biological mother.

Although this is the reason, even Chen Tong himself had to kill the Empress Dowager if it were her. The palace was extremely luxurious, but the floor in the cottage was cold and hard. Chen Tong couldn't sleep for a while, and kept thinking about Xiao Changdun and He Madam.

Perhaps it is because of this that he has never been willing to attack the Empress Dowager, after all, the Empress Dowager is the prince's biological mother.
