When he saw the little eunuch's actions and the way he called out, that person's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly regained his senses and hurriedly bowed: "This subject greets the Empress."
Siyang had no impression of who this person was. However, based on his actions and attire, he shouldn't be an ordinary person.
"Wangye, there's no need to be so courteous." Although she didn't know who he was, Siyang heard how the little eunuch called him.
"This servant didn't know, Your Highness. This servant has disturbed you, Your Highness. Please forgive this servant."
This little eunuch was one of Xue Pinggui's people. However, looking at his fearful appearance, Siyang felt that Xue Pinggui's acting was too good and fooled most people. Those who didn't know would think that he was favored.
Perhaps there was a fact that no one noticed. Ever since Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan were reunited, they didn't have sex.
It could be seen that in the face of Wang Baochuan's deteriorating appearance, even Xue Pinggui, who boasted that he was deeply in love with her, could not bear to do it. Moreover, there was Princess Qianzan, who was like a delicate flower beside her.
"What are you saying? The Imperial Garden is so big, and it's not just mine. It's not a disturbance." Siyang didn't move from her seat. She said to the little eunuch: "You are one of His Majesty's people. Presumably, His Majesty wants to see this Wangye. You have an errand. It's best to go as soon as possible."
The little eunuch was indeed anxious. Hearing this, he sighed and climbed up from the ground: "This servant will take his leave."
After speaking, he extended his hand and said to the person next to him: "Wangye, let's go. Don't keep His Majesty waiting."
That person didn't say anything else. He just raised his hands and nodded in the direction of Siyang from a distance, indicating that he wanted to leave.
"Wangye, take care."
When the figure disappeared, Siyang held her chin and muttered to herself: "Which Wangye is this?"
Xue Pinggui didn't have any siblings, so this definitely had nothing to do with him.
"Miss, that's the Runan Of Gojoseon."
As expected, Cui'er did not disappoint Siyang.
"The Runan Of Gojoseon is …" Cui 'er raised her finger and pointed to the sky. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she leaned closer to Siyang and whispered, "He is the former emperor's younger brother."
The previous Emperor was the one who had his throne stolen by Xue Pinggui, and he had dug his own grave. If that was the case, then the person just now was really Wangye.
"I've heard that this Wangye was bestowed the title of King early on, bestowed with a fief, and lived as an idle Wangye in Runan." Cui 'er began to sympathize with him. "Speaking of which, he's quite unlucky. All of a sudden … he almost became a commoner from Wangye."
Almost? That meant no more.
"When His Majesty ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the people. The Runan Of Gojoseon's title was returned to him, but now he can only live as an idle King in the capital."
"So that's how it is."
Overnight, the people under the heavens changed. His title of Wangye was worthless, his fief was gone, and he could only stay in the capital for the rest of his life as an supervised Wangye. He had to behave himself with his tail between his legs. No wonder he was so reserved when he saw her, the Empress.
However, she seemed to have discovered something else interesting.
After strolling around the Imperial Garden for a while, Siyang leisurely returned to her bedroom. Her leisurely appearance made Cui 'er anxious. She didn't know what her Miss was planning.
"Look, look, Aya." Tuozan fiercely clutched the handkerchief in her hand, so hard that it was almost deformed. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "You said everything was going according to plan, but now, Wang Baochuan is still alive and well. She doesn't look like a dying person at all."
Tuozan had always sent people to keep an eye on the Empress's bedroom, so when she found out that she had left the bedroom and came to the Imperial Garden, she immediately rushed over with people. She wanted to go directly to Wang Baochuan, but Aya stopped her. In the end, she chose to watch from a high place.
With one look, Hawksbill Zan's heart burned with anxiety.
She had just said that Wang Baochuan wouldn't live for more than a few days, but in the blink of an eye, her complexion improved and she even had the energy to stroll around. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she recovered.
"This … I don't know." Seeing the situation, Aya also couldn't figure it out, "I sent people to keep an eye on her every day. She did take all the medicine, but now … it seems that it has no effect."
Tuozan's expression twisted for a moment. Wang Baochuan had stayed in the back seat for a day, which made her feel as if she was being roasted by fire.
"The medicine has no effect?"
Aya looked at Tuozan and was in a dilemma. Suddenly, her expression changed, "Could it be …"
"Who is it?" Suddenly, Tuozan stared at her with bright red eyes. She hadn't slept well for a day.
"… Could it be His Majesty?" Aya's first thought was Xue Pinggui. Because she knew that he had done something to Wang Baochuan's medicine, she stopped. But now that Wang Baochuan was gradually getting better, it was thought-provoking.
"Could it be that he can't bear to part with her?" In an instant, Tuozan bit her lips so hard that it almost bled. Her eyes were deep and serene.
At night.
The entire palace had entered a deep sleep. Only the patrolling soldiers passing by let people know that this was a heavily guarded palace.
In the large palace of the Empress, there was only a small palace maid on night watch in the small courtyard outside. She was still dozing off with her arms crossed. A vigorous figure rushed in, but no one noticed.
The door of the sleeping chamber was pushed open and then closed. It was quiet inside. Darkness shrouded everything, but the intruder seemed to have night vision. He only vaguely recognized the interior of the sleeping chamber. He stared at the big bed inside and slowly approached step by step.
It was quiet all around. Danger was slowly approaching.
The sharp blade silently lifted the curtain hanging on the bed. The quilt inside was pulled up. The blade turned and the silver light flashed. The eyes that were covered by the black cloth were murderous.
Puchi.
The knife stabbed into the middle of the bed without hesitation. It pierced through the quilt. After stabbing twice, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His eyes changed and he turned to leave.
"Too late."
Suddenly, a voice came from a corner in the darkness. Then, the black figure nimbly turned his body. When he wanted to escape, he heard a gust of wind. The black figure wanted to dodge, but the wind came too fast. He couldn't dodge.
"Ah!"
The scream was particularly loud in the palace. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Suddenly, the people in the palace were awakened. When did the lights become bright?
The candlestick was lit. A hand picked it up and walked step by step to the person lying on the ground.
