"In reply to the empress, this official has already sent someone reliable today. This official has secretly killed the daughter of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Wan'er, and that old eunuch of the Yi Palace, Eunuch Rong." This official disguised the two of them to look like people who had committed suicide out of fear of their crimes. They also went to an expert to imitate their usual handwriting and wrote a will to confuse everyone's line of sight.

Hundred Blossom Palace's Wan-Er hanged herself in her daughter Chun'er's room and left behind her will. As for Eunuch Rong, he had committed suicide in the pavilion where Chun Er's corpse was found. It was written in the will that Eunuch Rong had planned all of this in secret and that Eunuch Wan'er was only an accomplice of Eunuch Rong.

However, Eunuch Rong had sent a trusted eunuch out of the palace ahead of time. No one knew where he had gone and this official was sending people to investigate. However, there was no news of him. I hope that the empress can understand this official's arrangements. Because time was of the essence, this official could only make such arrangements. " The Vice Commander of the imperial guards recounted what had happened in one breath, then carefully observed the changes in the expression of the empress, Shangguan Canxue.

"Good!" You did a good job this time. For the time being, there are no obvious loopholes on our side. After finding that eunuch, just get rid of him outside the palace. Save the trouble, you know? " Shangguan Canxue was rather satisfied with the Vice Commander of the imperial guards' ability to handle matters, it was just that this person wasn't easy to control.

"This official shall obey the Empress's orders. "It must have been done well so that the empress can sleep in peace." The Vice Commander of the imperial guards replied.

"Un, let's do it like this for now!" I'll have to go to the Saber Defense Camp to check on the situation. If you receive any news, you can come back and inform me. Go! " The empress nodded. After summoning Qiuxiang and the servants, she wanted to bring them to the Saber Guard Camp.

Only after the Vice Commander of the imperial guards left did he straighten his back and wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He then called his imperial guards over and walked away.

After listening to the report from the Vice Commander of the imperial guards, the empress, Shangguan Congxue, became much more cheerful. At this time, Shangguan Canxue felt that the servant he raised was somewhat useful, so he did what he had previously told him so smoothly. This time, Shangguan Canxue was even more confident that he could have a good fight with that reckless Yuwen Yanran.

Shangguan Canxue did indeed have a bit of a formidable demeanor, and he made a prompt decision. Right now, even if Dongfang Ziqing had a lot of insider information, if there was no evidence, many things would just be empty talk. Others would have no choice but to believe it.

Therefore, the Queen was very satisfied with herself and happily walked towards the camp with her sabre. When he was almost to the entrance of the Saber Guard camp, the empress Shangguan Congxue saw the vice commander of the Saber Guard camp greeting him respectfully at the entrance.

"This official greets the empress. The empress has lived for thousands of years!" The Guard Battalion with sabers saw the empress Shangguan Shunxue's party from afar. After the empress entered some distance away, they led their guards with sabers and bowed to the empress.

"Exempt." "Get up!" The empress was waving her sleeves lightly at this moment, her gaze giving off the aura of a queen greeting the world with her mother's eyes. However, her smile didn't give people a warm feeling, but was ice-cold, like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue.

"Esteemed empress, it's really a bit early tonight." This official had just led a scimitar guard to patrol the area, but didn't expect the empress to arrive so early. "Esteemed Empress would like to rest first. We'll start tonight's three halls only after all the servants have arrived." The Vice Commander of the Bodyguard said respectfully.

"As the master of a harem, I have suffered such a huge loss of face this time. I was just thinking of coming to the Saber Guard Camp as soon as possible to get a better understanding of the situation, and then finding out about the entire matter as soon as possible. I have put in great effort just to return a clean and bright harem of our Xuanyuan Kingdom. " A trace of displeasure was left on the face of the empress Shangguan Congxue after he finished speaking.

"Esteemed Empress did all of this. Luckily, this official knows a bit of the secret. Otherwise, this official, the vice commander of the imperial guards, wouldn't have done it so peacefully, but you've managed to keep it a secret, esteemed empress dowager." The vice commander of the guard with a sabre rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard the words of the empress, Shangguan Gongxue, but he didn't dare express them out loud.

"Empress Dowager has put in a lot of effort for the country. This official believes that no matter whether it is the emperor, or the commoners, they will all know of Empress's painstaking efforts. "Esteemed Empress, please remove the carriage. This official will lead the way." After the vice commander finished speaking, he extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Thus, the empress and his men entered the Saber Guard Camp. The Saber Protection Camp was still the same as before. Although the entire hall was decorated elegantly, it was still filled with a desolate and solemn atmosphere, causing people to be extremely alert while standing in the hall.

"The matter that I sent someone to inform you about today, is it done?" After the empress and vice-commander of the Saber Guard had arranged for them to be seated in the Saber Guard campsite, they suddenly asked this question.

After the Vice Guard with a sabre straightened up, he looked around before bending down and said to Empress Shangguan. "Esteemed Empress, don't worry. It's just a small matter. This official has long done everything for esteemed empress." "No one noticed that Flower mama long ago. She was already on her last breath, so this official got someone to give her a white silk."

"Good!" Well done. Although this Senior Servant Hua doesn't know what's going on, I'm still afraid that people will talk too much tonight and cause some trouble. Now that you've done this, I will heavily reward you after this. In the future, you must properly work for the emperor and I, and you will naturally have to pay for it. " The empress Shangguan Canxue said happily.

"Esteemed Empress, don't worry. This official understands." "Many thanks to the empress for your care." The Vice Commander of the Bodyguard said with a face full of respect.

The empress Shangguan Canxue had tried to rope in this deputy commander of the guard with sabre many times before, but this deputy commander always responded indifferently to the olive branch stretched out by the empress.

Shangguan Canxue knew that the deputy commander of this guard was someone who knew his place, but he couldn't do anything about it. He also couldn't directly use his position as the empress to pressure people, which would only be counterproductive.

Earlier, because Dongfang Ziqing had helped the emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, block a blade. Both the commanders of the imperial guards and the commanders of the Saber Guard Battalion were sent by the emperor, Xuanyuan Chen, to the extreme north to search for the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus. If a commander died in this crisis, then the other deputy commander of the palace would take over the position of commander, and rise to power from then on.

Right now, the empress was using the position of Vice Commander of Saber Guard to cover her up, but the truth was that the vice commander of Saber Guard was also using the identity of Empress Shangguan Congxue to cover her up. There was no such thing as an eternal alliance in the Imperial Palace, as long as it was temporarily one of those benefits.

On the surface, it looked like there was a great deal of harmony between the two, but in reality, their thoughts were different. It was up to the two of them to get the most out of each other.

"That's right! I wonder if there are any recent developments regarding the murder of my pretty daughter Chun'er. Since the emperor is coming to the three halls for an interrogation, then the emperor must already know a lot of inside information. As the landlord of this place, you should also know some information. "Tell me about it. I would also like to know more about it." The empress Shangguan Canxue thought for a moment and decided to know a bit of the inside story first. Otherwise, he would be caught unprepared by Yuwen Yanran later.

"Esteemed empress, the empress would actually find out about this later, but now that esteemed wangfei has asked, this official will quickly tell the empress some information." Today, this official learned two things that could be considered as the latest news from the news that came from the emperor and from the latest developments in the imperial harem.
