"The Queen Mother, there's water out there."

Although the doors and windows of the inner hall were closed, the sound from outside was still heard, and the Empress Dowager on the phoenix bed had already woken up.

Older people have poor sleep, especially in recent years, the Empress Dowager can only sleep for two or three hours a night, and wake up almost every day before dawn.

The Imperial Hospital was equipped with a sleeping medicine, and the old Duke of Huguo also made eye-catching spices to send them to the palace. However, whether it was a decoction or spice, the Empress Dowager only used it once and then abandoned it.

These can indeed make her sleep peacefully until dawn, but it also prevents her from waking up in the middle of the journey and sleeping like she dies.

So she would rather have insomnia every night than use these soups and spices. She would not allow herself to be killed in her sleep. She had a clear and clear ear, her body was still healthy and strong, and her mind was still fair and sharp. She could live for a long time.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes wide but did not get up.

Just now she vaguely heard someone outside shouting "Catch an assassin". Was someone entering the palace to assassinate?

Interestingly, it's the first time someone has come to assassinate her after so many years.

"A'e, go and see who wants to make a fuss and set fires. It's interesting. How could the fire in my Chaoyang Palace be so easy to burn."

The woman called A'e responded to the sound. She walked through the veil and pushed the door out. Behind her, the door was closed again, and there was no gap in the door, and it met the wall next to her. A huge wooden carved wooden screen of Wufu Holding Birthday Holding Hanging was hung on this wall, and the door was the round screen.

A'e was light in her steps, and a panicked palace maid eunuch ran by her, but A'e didn't even look at them.

In front of me is the inner hall where the Empress Dowager lives. A'e can't wait to go and see what happened there.

A little palace maid staggered over, obviously scared.

A'e glanced at her and her brow moved slightly. The next moment, her hand grabbed the little palace maid. The little palace maid was caught off guard and was grabbed by her shoulder.

"You are not from Chaoyang Palace?"

A'e's voice was low and hoarse, not a woman's voice, but different from the eunuch's. The little palace maid was startled and opened her mouth wide in fear, but she couldn't say a word.

A'e narrowed her eyes slightly, and grabbed the little palace maid's neck with her other hand. Then she let go of her hand, and the little palace maid's body fell down softly.

A'e didn't stop, kicked the little palace maid's body away and continued to walk forward.

Among the entire harem, there were the most eunuchs and palace maids in Chaoyang Palace. Ah E was actually not sure whether the little palace maid was from Chaoyang Palace. However, although the little palace maid was panicked, her hair was combed in a slight way, which made her suspicious.

Regardless of whether the little palace maid has any problems, it is just killing it.

In Chaoyang Palace, there has never been the word "wrong kill".

A sneer appeared on the corner of A'e's mouth, and she believed that the person in the inner hall was the same.

The inner hall is where the Empress Dowager lives, with nine-layered pearl curtains and pearly lights in the hall. It is the most luxurious part of the harem, but the Empress Dowager has not spent the night there for at least twenty years.

This is the secret of the harem and the secret of Chaoyang Palace.

The sound from outside had already been heard. When A'e walked in, the nine-layered bead curtain had been lifted to both sides, and a phoenix bed that led directly to the Empress Dowager's Majesty was revealed.

Behind each heavy bead curtain is a night pearl, wrapped in a trouser bag, which has not been opened for many years.

A'e walked through the many bead curtains and unbuttoned the ribbon on the brocade. One by one, the brocade fell on the Persian carpet. Nine huge night pearls illuminated the road as bright as day.

At the end of the road was the same jewel-like phoenix couch. On the phoenix couch was a tent made of southern pearls. Outside the tent, there was a nanny standing there. They looked at A'e who was slowly walking towards him.

"You are here." Madam He said.

A'e nodded and said, "No one has come in yet."

Her tone was a little regretful, yes, she was assassinating and setting fires, and she thought she had rushed in now.

Madam He said, "Did you kill someone on the way you came?"

A'e sneered: "So what?"

Madam He said, "Who did you kill?"

"A little palace maid, who looks like she is seven or eight years old." A'e didn't care at all.

The nanny standing on the other side snorted coldly and said, "There are four little palace maids of this age in Chaoyang Palace. Two are beside Princess An. The other two are rude. They will not come to the bedroom. If you meet them on the road, it is obvious that they are deceived in and tested. Whoever asked you to kill her will be trapped."

A'e was furious and yelled at the nanny: "That's what you are accomplices with the assassin. I'm not killing the wrong one. Besides, what if I kill the wrong one, so what if I kill it? In this palace, when will it be your turn to talk about me?"

The nanny wanted to blame him, but was stopped by Madam He with a wink. Suddenly, Madam He brows moved, as if she had remembered something.

The nanny's name is Guihua. She entered the palace in the same year as Madam He, and they were as close as sisters.

Madam He's expression did not escape from Madam Gui's eyes. She asked, "Ahe, what's wrong?"

Mama He's eyes turned slightly. In the past eight or ninety-one of the events tonight, she had something to do with the little girl sent by the Xiao family, and she regretted it a little.

She raised her legs and walked outwards. A'e reached out to stop her: "Where are you going if you don't serve here?"

Madam He raised her hand and pushed A'e's hand away and said coldly: "Aren't you worried about luring the tiger out of the mountain?"

A'e glared at her fiercely, turned around and walked out: "You two stay here honestly, you don't have to worry about anything else!"

The little palace maid who was strangled to death by her was a palace maid running in panic on the way.

A'e felt a little sad. Although she was stubborn, the words that Madam Gui said still made her heart hang up.

The assassin who suddenly arrived was inexplicably walking away, and it was impossible for him to appear in the little palace maid in the bedroom.

As soon as she walked out of the inner hall, she saw several guards walking around at the door. When she saw her coming out, she hurriedly asked, "Madam, is the Queen Mother in a good condition?"

"Yeah." A'e nodded. When she came in just now, she saw these guards. Even if they were out of water, they would not be allowed to break into the inner hall without ordering them.

"Please rest assured that the fire has been put out and it is not a big deal. The curtains in the main hall were burned by the candles." The guard leader said. Of course, the facts would not be so simple. This is Chaoyang Palace. How could the curtains burn just by saying that they were burning? But the murderer who set fire to the fire had not been caught yet. They could only say this, otherwise it would be a serious crime to disturb the Empress Dowager.

A'e was upset, but she was stopped by the guard and said a lot of useless words, but these words were of great importance. She had to listen. Finally, the guard leader finished reporting, A'e didn't even give her a corner of her eyes and walked quickly in the direction she came.
