As for the empress dowager, she was a very sensible person to begin with. Although she was already old, her shrewd and shrewd eyes still remained.

If he found any clues about it, it would be troublesome.

However, Xuemei would never have thought, and Dongfang Ziqing would also never have thought that the empress dowager's original name was Yuwen Lingyue, and she was actually Yuwen Lingyue's elder sister. Although she wasn't her biological sister, she was adopted by her father, and her father was not her own brother, but was better than his own brother.

Therefore, when he heard that Yuwen Yanran had come to the Imperial Palace with a face similar to Dongfang Ziqing's, he originally had some suspicions. Therefore, when he heard that Yuwen Yanran had come to the Imperial Palace with a face similar to Dongfang Ziqing's, he had some suspicions.

Dongfang Ziqing could be said to be incredibly lucky. It just so happened to bump into the empress dowager who was a member of Yuwen Clan. Otherwise, it would be hard to ensure that the shrewd empress dowager would discover some clues.

If it wasn't for Yuwen Yanran's identity and that jade pendant, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have been so well off.

This was a token that could walk unhindered in the harem. It proved that now, even the empress Shangguan Congxue had never obtained this token, but Dongfang Ziqing had obtained this token twice in a row. The word 'luck' simply couldn't explain it.

The empress dowager was exceptionally intelligent, intelligent, and sensible. Since she could see the big picture, she could naturally see the gap between Shangguan Tianxue and Dongfang Ziqing, and even though the empress dowager was old, she was still able to distinguish between the two. Who was more suitable to be the empress, who was more suitable to be the mother of the world, or else she wouldn't have given the medallion to Dongfang Ziqing twice.

It could be said that from now on, even though Dongfang Ziqing was only the imperial concubine, she was allowed to walk unhindered in the harem. Although she wasn't the empress, she was better than the empress, and even the empress couldn't do anything to her, even within the harem. It could be said that even though Dongfang Ziqing was only the imperial concubine, she was better than the empress in the harem.

Just as Xue Mei was anxiously waiting, Dongfang Ziqing walked out of the palace with a smile. Her face was filled with sadness and worry.

When she saw Dongfang Ziqing walk over, she quickly went over and greeted her. When she saw that her expression was not very good, she seemed to be very sad, as if she had thought of something, and her heart skipped a beat. Just as she wanted to ask, she saw Dongfang Ziqing giving her a meaningful glance, so she obediently came over to support Dongfang Ziqing.

Dongfang Ziqing had put in a lot of effort and effort. Even now, she was still sighing, shaking her head from time to time and sighing from time to time. She had a sorrowful expression on her face.

As for the empress dowager, she had appeared at the window after Dongfang Ziqing left the palace. She could see the departing Dongfang Ziqing through the gap between the windows. Her old eyes flickered with tears, her face filled with gratification.

Dongfang Ziqing came outside the palace and signaled for Xue Mei to leave before she got into her sedan.

"Take off. Return to the palace." Xue Mei shouted loudly. A group of people carried the palanquin and headed towards the Parasol Tree Palace.

Walking on the road, Xue Mei quietly asked Dongfang Ziqing: "Empress, how is it? Did it work? "

Dongfang Ziqing sat in the sedan and said lightly, "It's not safe now. We can talk about it when we get back."

"Oh!" Xue Mei nodded slightly. She gave an 'oh' and said no more.

Halfway there, a palanquin came into contact with Dongfang Ziqing's palanquin. From the looks of it, that palanquin belonged to the concubine of the imperial harem.

Originally, the two sides had no way to get close to each other, not even a dime. However, the palanquin opposite them actually walked directly towards them. They did not know what to do with such a wide road, and after hearing Xuemei's report, Dongfang Ziqing did not want to argue with her and just told them to give way.

At that moment, Xue Mei called out and the group of people carried the palanquin and moved it to the side. They wanted to avoid the palanquin in front of them and return to the palace as soon as possible.

However, when the sedan chair opposite him saw Dongfang Ziqing's sedan chair, it actually moved an inch closer and moved to the side. It was still two sedans in a straight line.

"Who was in that sedan chair? "Such a big card and he's so arrogant?" Xue Mei humphed and then told Dongfang Ziqing about the situation.

Dongfang Ziqing was sitting in her palanquin. After she heard what Xue Mei said, she smiled and said: "Go ahead. I want to see who is the one who is looking for trouble with us."

Originally, Dongfang Ziqing wanted to keep a low profile and take revenge. As long as others didn't provoke her, she wouldn't provoke others, and as long as it had nothing to do with her and she didn't betray her, then nothing would happen to her. On the contrary, as long as it was good for her, she would think of a way to repay her.

However, there were some unreasonable people who liked to cause trouble for you. They had nothing to do. What was the reason? This was because Yuwen Yanran's appearance was basically the same as Dongfang Ziqing's.

Before obtaining the approval of the empress dowager, they didn't care about these concubines at all. Now that they had obtained the approval of the empress dowager, they naturally didn't care about these concubines who came looking for trouble. Since you dared to come looking for trouble, you would regret it.

"I would like to see who it is that dares to be so arrogant." Xue Mei harrumphed and told the eunuch carrying the palanquin that there was no need to avoid. She then proceeded forward.

Beside the sedan in front of them, there was a small palace maid explaining the current situation.

"Empress, Yuwen Yanran and the others' palanquins are no longer avoiding us. They're coming this way. What should we do?" The little palace maid said to the palanquin.

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the sedan chair and a clear voice rang out: "Then we will also go straight. I want to see just how capable this Yuwen Yanran is. She actually dares to not give way."

"Yes, go straight ahead." After receiving the order, the young palace maid immediately instructed the young eunuch who was carrying the palanquin that there was no need to dodge and that the young eunuch was to walk directly.

The two parties directly clashed against each other as if they were at opposite ends.

A moment later, the sedans of the two groups stopped less than five meters away from each other.

Xue Mei said to Dongfang Ziqing, who was in the palanquin, "Esteemed Empress, it seems to be the Imperial Consort of Nalan."

Dongfang Ziqing, who was sitting in the sedan chair, snorted coldly in her heart. A cold light flashed in her eyes as she said in a low voice: "So it's her. It seems that she is also an ungrateful person."

"That's right. Back then, the Empress you were also very good to her." Xue Mei mumbled.

Three years ago, when Dongfang Ziqing was the Queen, Imperial Consort Nalan Yanran was considered the imperial concubine, and Dongfang Ziqing treated her with great care, so she could be considered a benefactor. However, now, the current imperial concubine Nalan Yanran actually blocked the path of Dongfang Ziqing's beauty.

Now that Yuwen Yanran had appeared, her appearance was the same as Dongfang Ziqing's. Naturally, she wanted to fix Dongfang Ziqing, and the jealousy and hatred she felt towards Dongfang Ziqing three years ago had all been scattered onto the current Yuwen Yanran, who was also Dongfang Ziqing.

It was obvious that she knew of Yuwen Yanran's current appearance, or else she would not have acted in such a manner. Moreover, this Nalan Imperial Concubine might not have known about the Emperor's approval of Dongfang Ziqing, and also his command medallion. If she had known about it, then she definitely would not have come to cause trouble for Dongfang Ziqing.
