The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 622 Being turned away

"Since the Queen has given the order, then of course I have to go." Jiang Suining relaxed his frown and took a deep breath, "Besides, I have to go too."

She must find out what Concubine Cheng wants to do.

After all, if Xiao Yi and the others really found an opportunity to turn the tables and win, then she and Shen Yanxi would be the ones in dire straits.

Perhaps it was because Empress Shi understood this that she summoned her into the palace.

Although he had not agreed to Queen Shi's solicitation before, he had no choice under the current circumstances.

Jiang Suining's eyes understood clearly, without showing any hesitation or entanglement.

When Wei Yao heard Jiang Suining say this, she dispelled her hesitation.

As for Lu Yan, she naturally knew that the Phoenix's order could not be disobeyed, but when she thought of the current mess, she was really holding her breath and felt very upset and depressed.

Just as Jiang Suining and the others were heading for Concubine Cheng's palace, the maid who had been secretly watching them withdrew her gaze and returned to Queen Shi's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Lady Jiang and the others have already gone to Noble Concubine Cheng's palace."

"Got it. You can leave now. Have someone keep a close eye on it. If there is any news, report it to me immediately."

The maidservant responded and left. Queen Shi half leaned back on the chair. Although she still looked tired, she no longer had the fatigue she had just now.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Cheng has been in the harem for many years. Wouldn't it be insufficient if you just let Jiang and the other ladies keep an eye on her?"

"Don't underestimate Jiang Suining and the others. They have a grudge against Concubine Cheng and Xiao Yi. What's more, they have Shen Yanxi and the Lu family behind them."

Queen Shi narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a calculating look.

It took her a lot of effort to find out that Xiao Yi was the real murderer who killed Jiang Suining's father, and he actually instructed Li Zheng to kidnap Lu Yan in order to frame Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi.

Although the Lu family is tight-lipped and no specific information can be obtained, it seems that the reason why Lu Yan's grandfather suffered a stroke should be related to the fact that Li Zheng and his mother moved into the Lu family.

As for Wei Yao, although she did not have any strong backing, she was pushed out as a scapegoat when she was poisoned before, and was almost murdered and died in the Ye Ting Prison.

Of course, it is impossible to forget this hatred so quickly.

In other words, none of the three of them would want Xiao Yi or Concubine Cheng to gain power.

Instead of sending people to guard against it, it would be better to let the three of them go directly. How can we not use such good chess pieces in front of us?

"Your Majesty, even though I have said that, I am still a little worried. The emperor is still in a coma. If Concubine Cheng really finds a way to get the fourth prince out of the prison, and if those people in the court who have pledged their allegiance to the fourth prince are also involved, they might be able to push him up."

"I will never let this happen." Empress Shi's face was cold and grim. "Now is the critical moment. We must crush them at all costs, even if we have to use any means. Otherwise, if they succeed, the first thing Xiao Yi will do after he ascends the throne will definitely be to take my life."

She had no children, but she absolutely could not allow Concubine Cheng's son to ascend the throne.

Queen Shi stood up, straightened her sleeves, and the last trace of fatigue in her expression disappeared.

Now she could no longer afford to be tired.

"Let's go to the Emperor's bedroom."

At times like this, we cannot afford to make any mistakes or be negligent. After all, every step may cost our lives.

……

On the other side, when Jiang Suining and others arrived at Concubine Cheng's palace, they were stopped outside.

"The Imperial Concubine is worried about the Emperor's health and can't sleep at night. She is not feeling well and has just fallen ill. If you have any questions, please tell me. I will report to you when you wake up."

"We are here on the orders of the Queen. Since the Royal Concubine is unwell, we should go in to visit her." Wei Yao said.

The maid glanced at her and said, "No need. The Imperial Concubine just took medicine and went to bed. If you go in now, you will only wake her up."

Jiang Suining said, "Since you have taken the medicine, I wonder which imperial physician prescribed it. We should ask him about it so that we can answer the Queen when she asks us."

"Your Majesty is taking the old prescription. There is no need for the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription."

Lu Yan asked, "Even if it's an old prescription, it still needs medicine. I wonder who went to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, and which imperial physician handled it?"

The palace maid frowned, her expression tense, and looked at the three people with a very unfriendly gaze.

"What do you mean by that? This is the Imperial Concubine's palace, not a prison. Are you here to interrogate a prisoner? Even if you are a palace lady, you should not be so rude!"

"We have no such intention. We are just concerned about the health of the Imperial Concubine."

"The Imperial Concubine has already rested, and I have to hurry to make medicine for her. If you are really concerned about her health, please do not waste time here and affect me."

After saying that, the maid didn't wait for anyone to speak. She bowed, said "I'm leaving", and turned back to the bedroom.

Being turned away like this, Wei Yao and Lu Yan both looked unhappy.

"It seems like it has really come to a critical moment. Both the Empress and Concubine Cheng have been so straightforward and have made no secret of anything." Lu Yan said in a heavy tone.

Wei Yao frowned and said, "The problem is that the Queen ordered us to come here, but now we can't even get into the main door of the palace. They are fighting like gods, and we are caught in the middle and are in a dilemma."

Jiang Suining looked at the door to the bedroom. "Since we can't get in, we have to guard it. At least we have to make sure that the imperial concubine doesn't leave the bedroom. Even if we can't stop her in the end, we have to see her so that we can report to the empress."

Concubine Cheng must be very eager to go to the Heavenly Prison to see Xiao Yi now, and what Empress Shi wants is to stop her from going there, so as to prevent her from discussing countermeasures with Xiao Yi.

only……

A dark gleam flashed across Jiang Suining's eyes.

But even if Concubine Cheng can suppress the situation, there is still a possibility that something might go wrong in the Heavenly Prison.

"Okay, then let's wait here." Wei Yao said.

Lu Yan shook her head. "I'm afraid this place alone is not enough. There is another small door in this palace. If the imperial concubine really wants to leave quietly, she will most likely not go through the main gate."

Wei Yao said: "How about I go and guard the small gate?"

"Let me go, you stay here. This is the only stupid way we can do now."

Lu Yan spoke helplessly, then looked at Jiang Suining, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"Sui Ning, how about you come with me to the small gate?"
