Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 398 The storm is coming
After Tang Feng jumped off the carriage, he ordered the team to continue heading towards the capital, while he was sitting on the horse's back, and his expression looked the same as before; however, if you look carefully, you can find that his eyes are always bright At this moment, his eyes are dim, and he looks sad and sad, but he refuses to speak out to let others know.

In this way, the speed of the carriage was indeed much faster than that of the soft sedan, and after another hour or so, under the escort of Tang Feng, Princess Huayi finally returned to the palace.

And at the moment when the princess's carriage stepped into the palace gate, no one noticed that two furtive figures sneaked out from under the palace wall. An anxious look appeared on everyone.

"Why did you come back so soon? This is different from the time we received it. What should we do now? Should we send someone to notify the young master immediately?"

"It's too late. Sending people out of the city to inform at this time, and waiting for the princess's order before taking action may delay the son's plan; in this case, you immediately go to Gu's mansion to invite Mr. Gu into the palace, and tell the princess to come back in a carriage ahead of time. The plan has changed, and all actions must be carried out in advance."

"This is easy to handle, but only Mr. Gu enters the palace. I'm afraid he won't be able to persuade the emperor to make decisions for the girl and the Gu family."

"Go and invite your lord. I will go outside the city to wait for news. The young master sent someone to say that they will come back right after the princess. As soon as I receive the young master and them, they will immediately bring the young master and the girl into the palace; Among them, Master Gu still needs to delay the time for the young master, and must not spoil the plan carefully arranged by the young master."

After a brief discussion, the two capable subordinates began to split up.

As for Princess Huayi who returned to the palace, after simply sorting out her thoughts, she went straight to Shoukang Palace where Concubine Chang Gui lived.

At this time, Concubine Chang Gui was also waiting for the news in the palace. Seeing the time passing by, the palace servant who was sent to deal with Gu Yanxi had not returned yet. Could it be that something happened on the way?
Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Chang was anxious to sit and sleep. She has never felt this kind of anxiety for a long time after years of smooth sailing and covering the sky with one hand. She is used to being in the palace. What does she want to do? Is it impossible?So, after deciding to get rid of Gu Yanxi this time, she almost didn't even hesitate, and directly sent someone to solve it.

Only now did she feel any trace of regret; and her regret did not come from her sudden decision to murder Gu Yanxi, but her regret that she should have planned her plan better, so that the odds of winning would be greater.

The personal nurse serving Concubine Chang knew her master's thoughts best. Seeing her constantly pacing back and forth in the apse, stretching her neck to look outside from time to time, she knew that Concubine Chang was waiting for news; So he came up with tea, comforted her softly, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so anxious. The people we sent out are our confidants who have been carefully trained. These people have done a lot of things for you, Madam. It is to know the habits and methods of the empress. Rest assured, the empress, these people will not make mistakes. Taking a step back, if there are mistakes, they also know what to do; we hold the wealth of their relatives in our hands Life, if one of them dares to talk nonsense, the old slave will let their relatives go first."

Looking at the old nanny who has been faithfully following her since entering the palace, after hearing this, Concubine Chang finally felt relieved.

But right now, she doesn't even have the slightest intention to drink tea.

She stretched out her hand to push away the tea offered by the close nurse, with a slightly worried look in her eyes, she said: "I only want to get rid of that girl as soon as possible, but I forget that there are always people around that girl to protect her, and this time When I went to Huguo Temple to offer incense, I not only went with Gu Yanchao, but also Tang Feng, and the four girls of the Lu family were also good at martial arts; thinking of this, I felt a little uneasy, and always felt that I was sent out. There are fewer people, or we should think of a different way to get rid of that girl, and we shouldn't act so impulsively."

The personal nurse put down the tea, helped Concubine Chang Gui to sit back on the phoenix chair, and said, "Your Majesty's concerns are understandable to this old servant, but how do we have so much time to think of other ways to solve that girl? Seeing Seeing that the princess is becoming more and more obsessed with Commander Gu, and the delay of the afternoon every day, the princess's age can't wait for anyone; the old slave feels that the empress chooses this time to do it. Your sweetheart, you have a lot of weight in your words. We are in the capital during normal times. How can we have a chance to make a move? Isn’t this the only chance to offer incense at the Huguo Temple? Is it the best time? My lady, since Now that we've all done it, don't regret and hesitate any longer. We just have to wait for the news, and I believe that someone will come back and reply to us soon."

yes!Now it is too late to hesitate and regret any more, at this time, she can only calm down and continue to wait for the news.

Just when Concubine Chang Gui was feeling uneasy, the palace attendants outside quickly ran into the apse, knelt down in front of her and announced, "Your Majesty, Princess Huayi is back and is heading towards our Shoukang Palace."

As soon as she heard that her precious daughter had returned, the worry on Concubine Chang Gui's face disappeared without a trace.

He stood up from the phoenix chair at once, couldn't hide his joy and said: "This child has been running all day, and she came back so late. If she comes back a little later, the palace gate will be locked. Hurry up! Tell the small kitchen Bring the princess's favorite cakes and food, and she must be crazy enough to play outside all day, and I don't know if the food outside suits her appetite, are you full?!"

Hearing Concubine Chang Gui's joyful voice, the palace servants immediately got busy.

Even the personal nurse came forward and said good things, saying: "Princess is the most filial. As soon as I returned to the palace, I didn't even have time to go back to my own palace, so I went straight to Shoukang Palace to greet my mother, or our princess is the most filial. What about the little princess who has won the Sacred Heart; look at this filial piety, no one in the whole palace can match it."

Concubine Chang Gui loved Princess Huayi very much, and she was happy to hear others praise her daughter like this, even if it was to flatter her.

And just as the palace servants arranged the food from the small kitchen, there was the sound of the carriage stopping outside the palace gate, followed by the sight of Princess Huayi getting off the carriage supported by the palace servants.

Under the lights, Princess Huayi, who was not in palace attire, looked elegant and refined. Even with just a glimpse, one could guess that the slowly approaching figure must be a beautiful little beauty.

Concubine Chang Gui wanted to see her daughter sooner, so she led the palace servants to welcome her out from the apse. Because of her well-maintained smile, she still looked as bright and charming as a [-]-year-old girl; Seeing Princess Huayi's red and swollen eyes from crying, she immediately restrained herself, and even her eyes, which were always gentle and full of content, turned sharp at this moment.
