Right now, Tuozan had to endure seeing Wang Baochuan alive. How could she allow her to go to his bedchamber with Xue Pinggui? If she really did that, she would be very anxious.
"No, why don't you go to my Western Palace for a night? The Jade Earth Palace is closer to my place. You've been frightened tonight, so it's better for you to rest quickly. His Majesty needs to deal with some matters, so he shouldn't disturb you."
If Siyang was not really not interested in a man like Xue Pinggui at all, she really wanted to go with him to his bedchamber. Not only was it beneficial for her, but she could also see Tuozan's twisted expression. Why not?
But she also did not want to wrong herself by sharing a bed with a man who disgusted her. So, after thinking for a moment, she followed Tuozan's words and said, "Meimei is right. His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is working hard day and night. I really should not trouble him."
The last words were said to Xue Pinggui. After he heard it, he looked at the two. In addition, there were other matters pressing down on his mind, so he did not feel too conflicted in this aspect.
"Since that is the case, then my beloved concubine will take care of the Empress tonight." With a sigh, Xue Pinggui opened his arms and hugged Siyang and Tuozan's shoulders. His tone was gratified. "Speaking of which, I only have two concubines, the Principal Concubine and the Western Palace. You two sisters should talk together and cultivate your relationship."
"Your Majesty is right." Tuozan smiled and nodded. She held Siyang with one hand. Her face was full of sisterly affection. However, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Siyang sneered in her heart. In the end, she did not show anything on her face. She just went along and showed her gentleness and gentleness to the fullest.
That assassin had been unconscious the entire time. He was taken to the prison before he could say a word. Siyang did not care about the interrogation that would follow and the result. She did not think that an assassin could drag Tuozan down. Not to mention whether the assassin would confess to her, even if he did, Xue Pinggui would not touch a hair on Tuozan's head. On the contrary, if she did not let go, then she would expose herself.
In any case, she had achieved her goal tonight. Some things needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were Xiliang. Everyone's trust in Tuozan was higher than in Emperor Xue Pinggui.
She believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they could not make a move now, how could they allow others to sleep beside their bed? Sooner or later, they would settle the score.
Wang Baochuan was a kind person. She would follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace was not as gorgeous as the main palace, but the furnishings were much better than her Jade Earth Palace.
She said that the sisterhood was deep and that they should cultivate their relationship. Jin Zan was proud and arrogant. It was fine to pretend in front of Xue Pinggui, but she didn't have the leisure to face Wang Baochuan. Si Yang thought the same.
The next day, after returning to the Jade Earth Palace, Siyang heard the news that the assassin had committed suicide in the prison by biting his tongue.
"It seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
After last night's incident, many people were dispatched to the Jade Earth Palace today. The guards were also increased. It seemed to be to appease Siyang. Xue Pinggui also sent a large number of rewards along with the news.
Siyang accepted all the rewards. It would be a waste if she did not accept them. The assassin's death was within her expectations. She did not feel angry.
"Your Majesty, how can you be like this? Isn't that assassin very obvious?" Si Yang didn't care about it, but Cui Er had a belly full of anger.
Siyang handed the new palace servants to a few old nannies. She took Cui 'er out for a walk.
Looking at Cui 'er's angry appearance, Siyang laughed. "Didn't I already say it?"
The commander of the imperial guards was Xiliang's man. When the assassin was caught, he obviously wanted to protect him. Cui 'er rushed out to beg Xue Pinggui. This was all within her calculations. Siyang had also said the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Consort Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. This place was remote and quiet.
Cui 'er supported her Miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was now autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen on the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people tending to it.
"The assassin has been used. What place do you think there will be?"
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, none of them wanted Wang Baochuan to live well.
Tuozan couldn't wait for her to die now so that she could give way to her. As for Xue Pinggui, he was bound by morality and couldn't act openly. However, he had many tricks up his sleeves. He also deliberately let Tuozan go. This showed how cruel he was.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. Leave the palace, this place of trouble, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and softly. However, the words she said were full of anger. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years. It's fine if he was ungrateful, but he used me, his wife, to save his reputation as an emperor. Now that I'm no longer useful, he wants to kick me away. How can it be so simple?"
Cui 'er felt the arm she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't pay back what they owe me, I won't be satisfied even if I die." Siyang was saying what Wang Baochuan was thinking.
"So, I won't leave. I won't let them off so easily. Tuozan wants the position of empress, so I'm going to sit there firmly and steadily. Xue Pinggui wants me to die, so I'm going to live longer than him. Not only that, I'm going to take this world … Who is it?"
As she stopped speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked below the small bridge. Her sharp intuition told her that there was someone hiding there.
Cui 'er jumped in fright and looked down as well. There was a row of parasol trees under the bridge. They were lush with leaves. Could someone be hiding there?
Seeing that her shout didn't call out the person, Siyang was slightly displeased. Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
The row of parasol trees was so close that one person couldn't wrap their arms around them. A corner of indigo clothing appeared.
Cui 'er covered her mouth in shock when she saw it. There really was someone there. Then she panicked. What they said just now, it couldn't be …
