Night, Qing Palace!
In Guangxin Palace, Li Yunrui was preparing to take a rest with the help of his maids, when suddenly one of the maids' face changed drastically.
"Who?"
The moment before, there was no one else in Guangxin Palace, but in the blink of an eye, there was suddenly another person sitting in the hall in front of them, as if he had been sitting there for a long time.
The two maids immediately took up their positions and protected Li Yunrui.
"Don't be nervous."
Li Yunrui walked out from behind them with a happy smile on his face.
"The arrival of the Duke of Zhenguo really brings glory to my humble Guangxin Palace."
She was indeed nervous just now, but after seeing that the person coming was Zhou Chen, she felt relieved.
For a Grand Master, it is very easy to sneak into the palace.
"But isn't the Duke of Zhenguo afraid of being discovered by the Grand Master in the palace when he breaks into the palace late at night?"
Zhou Chen laughed disdainfully and said, "A great master who only dares to hide in the palace, if I don't want him to find me, he will never find me in his lifetime."
Although Emperor Qing is a grandmaster, he really looks down on Emperor Qing. He does not have the courage that a strong man should have, and he only schemes and plots all day long.
He learned top-notch assassin skills in his previous life. Unless Emperor Qing was keeping an eye on him all the time, even if he entered the palace, as long as he didn't get close to Emperor Qing, he would not be able to find him.
"The Duke of Zhenguo's spirit is truly fascinating."
Li Yunrui sat down elegantly opposite Zhou Chen and ordered the two maids: "You go down first."
"Your Highness."
"Go down."
After sending the maid away, Li Yunrui regained his composure.
"The Duke of Zhenguo is visiting late at night. He should not just be passing by, right?"
"Of course, I came here specifically to see you."
Li Yunrui poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chen: "I don't know if there is anything I can do to help the Duke of Zhenguo, but please tell me and I will definitely help you."
Zhou Chen did not drink his tea, and said quietly: "I think Her Royal Highness the Princess has already known about my aunt's family coming to Kyoto."
Li Yunrui suddenly laughed: "It is rumored that the Duke of Zhenguo is cold-blooded and heartless, and doesn't recognize his relatives. You don't want me to help you get rid of them, do you?"
"They are annoying to me, but if I really want to get rid of them, I don't need to rely on others to do it."
"Then I wonder why the Duke of Zhenguo mentioned them?"
Zhou Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Why did they come to Kyoto? I'm sure you know who did it. Princess, you may not know me very well. I am too self-centered and I do things according to my own will. I am not afraid of others targeting me, but I hate others to disgust me. If others disgust me, I will always feel uncomfortable if I don't fight back."
"so?"
Li Yunrui's eyes lit up, and she began to understand what Zhou Chen meant.
"So, I am a vengeful person. Since he doesn't want me to live comfortably, I will find trouble for him. Tell me, isn't that fair?"
Li Yunrui laughed very happily and crazily: "Fair, very fair. What do you want to do?"
Zhou Chen said: "I know a little about the matter between the princess and that person. I'm sure the princess is unwilling to hand over the power of the inner treasury just like that."
Li Yunrui did not deny it either: "This is a well-known fact. If it was handed over to someone else, I would not say anything, but if it was handed over to Fan Xian, a bastard, and I were asked to marry my daughter to him, I would naturally not be happy. Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to help me? As far as I know, you seem to have some relationship with Fan Xian. He has been to your Duke of Zhenguo Mansion more than once. Will you really help me?"
"I didn't say I would help you deal with Fan Xian. I came here to cause trouble for that person. I came here just to tell you something."
"what's up?"
"About Grandmaster Ye Liuyun."
Li Yunrui's face suddenly changed slightly. She was able to contact Ye Liuyun, but very few people knew about it. She didn't understand how Zhou Chen knew about this.
"What do you want to say?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "What I want to say is that you are being played around by that person without knowing it. You think Ye Liuyun is your man, but you don't know that Ye Liuyun is actually an undercover agent he arranged to be by your side."
"impossible."
Li Yunrui screamed and lost her composure. She paid a huge price to win over the Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, but Zhou Chen actually told her that Ye Liuyun was Emperor Qing's man, an undercover agent arranged by Emperor Qing to be by her side.
Zhou Chen said: "Nothing is impossible. You underestimate the Grandmaster and Emperor Qing too much. Think about it, you have done so much for him over the years, and what did you get in the end? Soon even the power of the inner treasury will be lost, right?"
Li Yunrui's beautiful face was full of coldness. Zhou Chen had touched her sore spot. She had done so much over the years, but what did she get in the end?
"Whether Ye Liuyun is an undercover agent or not, you can slowly investigate, but I came to the palace today, and it can't be in vain. There are some things that make me more unhappy the more I think about them, and the more unhappy I am, the more I can't stand it. I must do something to feel relieved. If it is convenient for you, Princess, can you lend me three things?"
Zhou Chen originally just wanted to disgust Emperor Qing tonight, but after telling Li Yunrui about this, he still felt unhappy, so he thought of another way to vent his anger.
"What do you want to borrow?"
"Three feet of white silk, a dagger, and poisoned wine!"
Li Yunrui looked stunned: "What do you want to do?"
"Didn't I tell you that venting your anger shouldn't be a difficult task for the princess, right?"
Li Yunrui didn't understand what Zhou Chen was trying to do, but after thinking about it, she decided to ask someone to prepare these three things.
Soon, the three items were brought.
Zhou Chen said: "I want to use them to do something. These are your things. If they are found on you, you can't blame me."
Li Yunrui said calmly: "You can use it as you like. No matter what you want to do, it won't be traced back to me."
"Thank you very much, I'm leaving."
Zhou Chen picked up the three items and disappeared in front of Li Yunrui in a flash.
Li Yunrui frowned, not worried about what Zhou Chen was going to do. She was still thinking about what Zhou Chen had just said about Ye Liuyun.
"Ye Liuyun, Ye family..."
After Zhou Chen left Guangxin Palace, he did not leave the imperial palace. Instead, he wandered around the harem and soon found the empress dowager's palace.
He sneaked into the Queen Mother's bedroom without anyone noticing, and sneered at the Queen Mother who was sleeping soundly.
"What Ye Qingmei can do, I can do as well. You use that family to disgust me, so I will use your mother to scare you. It's fair, isn't it?"
He placed the three-foot white silk, the dagger and the poisoned wine at the head of the empress dowager's bed, and then left without anyone noticing.
Chapter 1448 Crouching Tiger, Coiled Dragon, Zhou Chen and Emperor Qing Confronted
"Ah~, someone come, someone come!"
A scream of extreme fear came from the Empress Dowager's bedroom, startling all the eunuchs and palace maids who were dozing off around the bedroom. They instantly came to their senses and rushed towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom in panic.
In just a short time, the Queen Mother's bedroom was surrounded by people.
The empress dowager was seen wearing a blanket, wrapping herself tightly, and was surrounded by guards and eunuchs. The chief eunuch, Hong Sixiang, was also in the bedroom.
But even so, the elderly empress dowager still felt cold all over and her face was full of fear, completely losing her usual majesty and solemnity.
At this moment, she was no longer the queen mother who was above millions of people, but a frightened old woman who could only tremble in fear.
When someone else wakes up from a nap and sees the three items, white silk, dagger and poisoned wine, placed at the bedside, they will be as frightened as she is. Especially for an old woman like her who stands at the pinnacle of power and has poor sleep, facing this situation, she will be even more frightened than ordinary people.
This fright almost made her lose her soul.
Hong Sixiang's heart was pounding and he was terrified when he saw the white silk, dagger and poisoned wine at the head of the empress dowager's bed.
Everyone knows what these three things mean. Someone is trying to intimidate the Queen Mother.
Who on earth has such courage and ability to come and go freely in the Imperial Palace, sneak into the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and put down these three things?
Hong Sixiang thought of a possibility. The only person in the world who could do such a thing under his nose was.
Great master!
Thinking of this, he became even more frightened. Although the outside world rumored that he was a grandmaster hidden in the palace, he himself knew his own situation. He only looked like a grandmaster. If he really met a grandmaster, he would be killed instantly.
He cannot handle this matter, so he must hand it over to His Majesty.
In just a moment, he understood. He had checked the empress dowager's bedroom several times and found nothing. Except for the grandmaster, even the person closest to the empress dowager could never do this.
Because of the incident in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, although it was still the hour of Yin, there was already quite a bit of chaos in the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Qing, who had been studying arrows all night, was woken up in his sleep and was very angry. But after learning what happened in the Queen Mother's bedroom, he shuddered all over and woke up instantly.
"Go to the Queen Mother's bedroom, quickly."
Without even having time to change his clothes, he put on a robe and ran to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
As soon as he arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, the old woman seemed to have found her backbone. She threw herself on him with a scream and screamed.
"Emperor, Emperor, someone wants to harm me, my son..."
Emperor Qing hugged the Queen Mother with a helpless look on his face. If it was someone else, he would have thrown them out long ago, but this was the Queen Mother, so he could only endure it.
"Mother, it's alright, mother. I will take care of it. You can go to another bedroom and rest first."
But the Queen Mother held his hand tightly, her cloudy old eyes almost popping out, and she said excitedly: "It's her, she's back, it's her, it must be her, Ye..."
"Mother!"
Emperor Qing interrupted the Queen Mother loudly, looked at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "She is dead, mother, she is dead, dead, she can't come back, someone, take the Queen Mother to rest."
The Queen Mother was really frightened, and she had to be supported by the eunuchs and palace maids to leave the bedroom.
Emperor Qing waved his hand again and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Hong Sixiang.
"Hong Sixiang."
"His Majesty."
Emperor Qing looked at the three objects with a gloomy gaze and an extremely ugly expression.
"I asked you to guard the palace, and this is how you guard it?"
Hong Sixiang fell to his knees, kowtowed, and replied in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, this old slave deserves to die, this old slave deserves to die."
"You really deserve to die. It's not too much to die ten thousand times, humph."
There was a cold light flashing in Emperor Qing's eyes. He was indeed so angry that he wanted to kill Hong Sixiang, but when he thought that he still needed Hong Sixiang now, if Hong Sixiang died, he would have no shield, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"I didn't find anything unusual. Who do you think it could be?"
Hong Sixiang didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his face, and quickly replied: "Only a grandmaster can do this."
"Grandmaster?"
Emperor Qing's face became even gloomier. This was not the first time such a thing had happened. It had happened once twenty years ago.
"Grandmaster, or Wuzhu? No, not Wuzhu, it's him, Zhou Chen."
He uttered a name through gritted teeth, and Emperor Qing smashed the three items to pieces with one palm.
"It must be him. He is the only one in Kyoto now. Good, good, the revenge has come to me. He is indeed lawless and disrespectful of the imperial power. What a great master."
There are only a handful of people who can do this. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason.
Only Zhou Chen has this motive.
He had just transferred Zhou Chen's aunt and uncle's family to Kyoto a few days ago. They came to disgust Zhou Chen, and a few days later this incident happened. It was obvious that Zhou Chen did not really want to kill anyone, he was just threatening and deliberately trying to scare the empress dowager.
Perhaps, this was Zhou Chen's response to his actions.
"Very good, young Grandmaster, you are really full of youthful vigor and vigor."
"Hateful! Damn it! Damn it!"
Hearing Emperor Qing's ferocious roar, Hong Sixiang trembled all over, his head touched the ground, and he didn't dare to raise it.
"Get out!"
Hong Sixiang escaped from the Empress Dowager's bedroom in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.
Emperor Qing was the only one left. He no longer concealed his anger and exuded a terrifying murderous aura.
"If a Grand Master doesn't surrender, he must die!"
Li Yunrui was also awakened from her sleep. Like Emperor Qing, she was in a very bad mood when she woke up. But when the maid told her what happened, she was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
“Hehehehahahahahaha…”
