That day, Sun Jinzi fell asleep while waiting for him. As for whether or not Jin Chupei came back later on, Sun Jinzi did not know either. However, she hadn't seen him for a few days. Knowing that he must be busy, Sun Jinzi felt pained in her heart.

Seeing that the servants were busy sweeping and dispersing throughout the day, Sun Jinzi knew that the year was approaching. But this year, to Jin Chupei, it might be a little special. Since the Empress Dowager was crippled and was imprisoned in the cold palace, Jin Chupei definitely wouldn't feel well about it.

Slightly sighing, Sun Jinzi's jade hands brushed past the blooming flowers, feeling a little sad in her heart. Previously, when had she ever noticed that these willow trees had been defeated with broken limbs? Now that everything had started again, his heart had aged.

Raising his head, he saw the Zhong's and Sun Jinmeng from afar. The Zhong's seemed to be pulling Sun Jinmeng and was very unwilling to leave the backyard, his gaze would occasionally look in their direction, and say something.

Sun Jinzi could not help but be suspicious, these two people seemed to be hiding from him. It seemed to be like this ever since that man came to the Sun Mansion that day. Although she did not know what the situation was, Sun Jinzi was still willing to let it go so that there would be less trouble.

Not just the Zhong's, even the Lance's was rarely seen. Right now, she wanted to keep them for a while longer. Otherwise, if she played this game herself, it would be too boring. However, he would never forget those grudges.

Mu Tan wanted to say something to Sun Jinzi, but when she saw her frightening gaze, she was scared witless.

Sun Jinzi also noticed it, and immediately retracted her expression, revealing a smile. She seemed to be getting more and more agitated over the past few days, so she was no longer able to hide her emotions.

Seeing the smile on the young miss's face, Mu Tan felt that maybe she was seeing things, that's why she was seeing things.

Everyday, in the morning and evening, either he would go to visit his ancestor's house or spend some time in his room writing. Sun Jinzi's days passed by really quickly.

Sun Jinzi was drawing red in her room, when she heard the sound of the door opening. The brush in her hand trembled, and only drew an abrupt cross path on the paper, which was extremely ugly to look at. With a slight frown, he looked at the burning Mu Tan. I really don't know when this girl's burning temper can be changed.

"Little Miss, it's not good. The news is spreading like wildfire. The emperor is going to pick a new emperor."

"What?"

Sun Jinzi placed the brush on the pen holder, not daring to believe her ears.

"The Emperor is going to choose a new successor."

Mu Tan caught her breath, and spoke her mind again.

Sun Jinzi once again sat back in her chair, staring at the gigantic characters on the xuan paper, in a daze. According to her memories, all of this was different. It turned out that after the Emperor was crippled, he chose the new Empress only after she had died in the Cold Palace. Now, even the empress wasn't dead yet.

'Could it be … '

She was afraid that what she was thinking would turn out to be true.

"Mu Tan, I will write a letter later and send it to the Sixth Prince's Estate."

Mu Tan originally wanted to ask something, but when she saw the young miss' serious expression, she could only nod her head.

Until the moment the letter was delivered by Mu Tan, Sun Jinzi's heart was in turmoil. She also did not expect that everything would happen so suddenly, and it made her unable to react.

When night fell, Sun Jinzi told Mu Tan that she did not need to stand guard, and Mu Tan did not ask any further. In any case, she knew that Sixth Prince was a person who abided by the etiquette, and would not do anything to Miss.

Sun Jinzi also didn't know if Jin Chupei had seen the letter, because she was afraid that others would see it. She didn't explain what she wanted him to do in the letter, she only wanted him to come.

According to Mu Tan, she did not see Sixth Prince, and instead handed the letter over to the butler of Sixth Prince's Estate.

Only, Jin Chupei still hadn't come, so it was unknown whether he had seen it or not.

Jin Chupei stood on top of the wall and after confirming that there was no one around, and that there was no one else besides her in Sun Jinzi's house, he jumped down from the wall. Only now did he see that letter. Although he had carefully kept the letter, Jin Chupei still felt that something was amiss, as if someone had moved it.

He was also very afraid that there might be a trap. The butler also said that he had only just found the letter not too long ago since it was lost.

All of this made him afraid that someone had set up a trap to harm him. If it was only him, then he wouldn't be afraid, but if he were to hurt Sun Jinzi, he definitely wouldn't be willing.

For several days, he had not seen her again. The shadow that was originally clear to him instantly turned blurry the moment he saw her.

He couldn't help but put his hand on her beautiful sleeping face.

Sun Jinzi suddenly woke up. When she saw the black shadow, she was shocked, and only after confirming that it was Jin Chupei, did she heave a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her face.

"Why don't you go to bed when you're tired?"

"He shook his head slightly and pulled him to a nearby chair." How have you been these past few days? "

Jin Chupei nodded, he did not know what to say, and did not reply. When he couldn't see her, he felt that it wasn't good. Every day, he would work hard to complete some of the errands that the royal father had given him. However, he had to do it. He had to get rid of all the things that blocked his way.

"You've lost weight."

Sun Jinzi caressed her face, every day she would eat and sleep, how would she get skinnier? On the other hand, if Jin Chupei did not say it, his clothes would have looked a little wider.

"I heard that the emperor is going to elect a new emperor."

Jin Chupei did not hide anything and nodded, a bitter look flashing past his eyes. royal father had already decided to announce this matter to the world, so he naturally had no way to stop it.

"No matter who it is, no matter who the Empress is, it doesn't matter. But you have to pay attention to the Empress's safety."

His gaze paused, and landed on Sun Jinzi's face with vigilance. Almost every time Sun Jinzi's worries became reality, he did not dare to doubt them.

He didn't want to know where she came from, but he knew that he had to move quickly.

Suddenly standing up, Jin Chupei was afraid that it would be the same as last time. Sun Jinzi had just said that and that kind of thing happened in Queen Mother.

"Zi Er, thank you. "I …"

"You don't have to, I understand. "Go ahead."

Pulling Sun Jinzi's finger that was placed at the side of his lips, he gave his a deep kiss. Jin Chupei no longer stayed, and even if he was extremely reluctant, he also knew that they would still have many chances to be together in the future.

Sun Jinzi watched Jin Chupei's disappearing figure from his view, and only closed the door after he was out of sight. Leaning on the door, Sun Jinzi could only hope that everything was not as it was last time, that it was too late.

Moreover, today, just as the news of Empress Dowager being crippled dying in the cold palace spread, this matter, would probably arouse the suspicions of all the people in the world. Or

Sun Jinzi did not dare think too much into it, for fear that what she thought was true. If it really was the Empress Dowager who killed herself in the cold palace, no one would suspect the Emperor or anyone else.

Jin Chupei couldn't care less about the inner courtyard of the Divine Gate Imperial Palace as he lightly swept past the sentries and headed in the direction of the Qingyou Palace.

Tonight, there was no moonlight, and the entire Qingyou Palace was pitch black. It was extremely quiet. Tonight seemed to be very peaceful, with only the occasional crowing sound.

Just as Jin Chupei was about to turn around and leave as if nothing had happened, he heard a shattering sound coming from inside the room.

Her heart tightened as she hurriedly jumped down from the wall. She had been too careless and hadn't realized that the door to the palace was open. In this area, there were cold palaces, but because the Queen Mother was a queen, this Qingyou Palace was also unique, so they would always lock the doors at night. Seeing that there were no traces of damage on the door, a cold light shot out from Jin Chupei's eyes.

Without delay, he quickly moved towards the door.

"Empress, don't struggle. old slave will be a bit gentler."

Jin Chupei was not familiar with the voice, who was it? Who sent this person?

"Jin Chuyi still needed to go through so much trouble to create a new one. I am already crippled, so what has delayed him from doing anything? "

Li Jingyu did not want to die, she did not believe that her life would end here. However, after such a long time, there were almost no unusual movements. Her heart also gradually became cold.

The room was dark, and she didn't know who this person was or who sent him. Originally, he wanted to swindle, but he didn't say a single word, causing Li Jingyu to be unable to guess who sent this person over.

She wasn't willing to give up. As she heard that person's footsteps getting closer and closer, despair filled her heart. She didn't know what her son would do if she died.

However, he had just inhaled too much of the sleeping smoke. Pushing down a stool and jumping off the bed had already used all of his strength.

Even though her back was covered in cold sweat, she could not move it in the slightest. The mama s in the house were afraid that she would be cold, so they picked up the charcoal brazier with the burning branches. The red stars inside flickered, but they didn't make her feel any warmth.

Jin Chupei's heart skipped a beat. He knew he wouldn't be able to hear much, but he couldn't take Queen Mother's life as a joke either. He kicked open the door with one leg, found out who the person was and kicked him away.

"Queen Mother, are you alright?"

Li Jingyu nodded, she knew that her son could not see in the darkness, so she also replied with a light "En".

He took out a fire piston and lit up the kerosene lamp on the table. Only then did the room recover its light. He looked at the man lying not too far away, spitting out blood and wearing the uniform of a eunuch.

After Jin Chupei helped Li Jingyu to sit on the chair, he grabbed the man's collar and brought him over.

"Speak, who sent you?"

That person originally thought that he would be absolutely safe today, but who would have thought that he would actually bump into Sixth Prince. His entire body was already trembling in fear due to his ice-cold gaze.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to live past today, so he clenched his teeth, wanting to bite his tongue, but Jin Chupei discovered it first and took off his chin. The man in pain rolled on the ground.

"Queen Mother, there's nothing much we can ask you today. Tomorrow, I will send this man to royal father to seek an explanation."

"But …"

Jin Chupei knew what the Queen Mother was worried about, but most of the time, he would just let others do as they pleased. Jin Chupei was very afraid that if something like this were to happen again, he would not be so confident that it would happen in such a timely manner every time.
