However, when Sima Yuzhu left, she looked at Sun Jinzi with a gaze that she could never forget.

After returning to the palace, the next day, Sun Jinzi went to pay respects to the Zhong's in accordance to the rules. However, she was informed that she had been sent to the palace by the Empress Dowager very early on.

Zhuang Fei had been promoted to Empress Dowager, and there were more and more people who wanted to hug her.

"This doesn't seem right." The palace feast from yesterday seemed to be a little too calm. Unexpectedly, the Imperial Consort Yu didn't even make a single move, allowing Zhuang Fei to successfully ascend to the position of Empress.

Exactly what was wrong, yet Sun Jinzi was unable to pinpoint it.

"Miss, don't worry, quickly take the pill." Mu Tan wholeheartedly wanted to take care of Sun Jinzi's body now. She was not willing to worry about anything else, and she also did not want Sun Jinzi to think too much into it.

However, Sun Jinzi could not stay idle. Her thoughts were different from Mu Tan's; she had been reborn and had faced too many troubles. If she wanted to live a good life, then she would have to clear away all those troubles and obstacles.

First of all, the cold poison in her body was from the Easternum, and it was a secret medicine from the Imperial Family.

"Send the message down, pay close attention to Sima Yuzhu." A fox always shows her tail.

Mu Rong immediately agreed and quietly withdrew.

Sun Jinzi's mind was a little unsettled, she left the courtyard and was preparing to walk around, but sshe did not receive any news from Mu Rong, but he heard some news from the second door.

"Miss, Madam is back." Mu Tan was panting heavily as she ran.

"I'll be right back." Zhong's should not think that she would run over to greet her.

"It was personally sent back by the head eunuch of the palace."

That was Mu Tan's main focus.

Sun Jinzi's brows slightly bent, the afternoon sun lightly descended on her cheeks, watching the golden light on her face as it created folds and marks.

"What happened?" If Mu Tan did not investigate further, she would not have rushed in to report so quickly.

It seems like something has happened in the palace. Madame saved the Empress Dowager and had the Great Eunuch personally return him back to the manor.

This information was not very detailed.

"Madame went to the Imperial Palace alone?" Sun Jinzi was very clear what the Zhong's was looking for, thus, she had a general idea of her trip to the palace.

But, no matter what, it was a matter between Sun Jinmeng and the Fourth Prince.

In his previous life, they were already a pair. In this life, even if they had a twist, it would still be a perfect match.

A loving woman paired with a man who wasn't a woman, wasn't that what was truly good?

"Third Miss did not go. He said that he wanted to prepare for a party in the mansion and had the Eldest Young Master and his people help arrange it."

It was almost summer, and they were still arranging the fairs. The only thing left to do was to enjoy the scenery.

Sun Jinzi didn't want to bother with these matters for the time being, it had nothing to do with her after all.

Very quickly, Mu Rong returned with the news.

The assassin was one of the big palace maids that had always been used in front of her. However, this time, when she called for the imperial wife, he drugged her in an attempt to harm her.

Then, coincidentally, they met the Zhong's there.

"How generous." Sun Jinzi sneered coldly.

Empress Zhuang was indeed not simple, she was not someone that could be taken lightly of, previously, she had used the child in her womb to wrongly accuse Jin Chupei's mother, but now, she was plotting something else.

"Miss, this matter …" Mu Rong did not finish her words, but Sun Jinzi understood.

"I am afraid the His Highness the Sixth Prince does not understand what the women are doing, so I have to talk to him myself."

Although Jin Chupei could find out what happened last time on Empress Zhuang, it was still not easy to find evidence.

One had to know that the heart of a woman was a needle at the bottom of the sea, but it was not a good thing to scheme against.

Mu Rong naturally did not say anything after hearing Sun Jinzi's words.

Although she was someone that Jin Chupei had arranged for, Jin Chupei had already said that she had to listen to Sun Jinzi's orders and not slight him because of their relationship.

Therefore, Mu Rong knew her limits.

Moreover, when Sun Jinzi acts, it was very rare for something to go wrong with the system.

Different from Sun Jinzi's low profile and pretended that nothing had happened, Sun Jinmeng who was waiting on the Mrs. Zhong had already gone mad with joy.

"Mother, how did you get that chance?" Today, her mother's luck was really good.

Zhong's muttered to himself for a while: "About that time, that big palace maid had served me and Empress Dowager some tea, so she stood at the side. I just felt that the tea cup was too bright, her hands were slippery, and she couldn't steady herself, so she directly knocked it away and smashed it onto the ground. "For some reason, a black cat suddenly appeared. It drank the tea on the ground and then lay there motionlessly."

Speaking till here, Zhong's understood herself that she had to fish for this contribution even if she did not fish for it, because there were people who wanted her to fish for it.

Therefore, she didn't have any burdens.

"Could this be the Empress Dowager's intention?" Sun Jinmeng was not stupid.

"That's right."

"Then I …" Is there hope? " Sun Jinmeng wanted to get to the bottom of this.

Although Empress Dowager leaked some benefits between her fingers, she still didn't understand what she meant.

"Don't think too much about it for now. Empress Dowager has warned me to go walk around the palace more often, so there will be news soon. "

One had to know that Sixth Prince was the youngest of the few adult princes, but his Chief Consort had set a date for their marriage. And among those princes, other than First Prince, all of them had a mistress that didn't exist in the backyard.

No matter what, it would be their turn to be the prince in front.

"Alright …" It was useless no matter how anxious Sun Jinmeng was right now.

"If you are not at ease, you can take advantage of this to invite the Princess Huaiyang over for a chat. Mother still has a pot of top-notch Wei Zi that you can give to her as a favor." All the noble ladies and mistresses in the capital knew that Princess Huaiyang liked to collect peonies.

The flower king Wei Zi loved his the most among all the peonies.

"Give her a message first. The princess' matriarch's concubine, Liu, is best friends with the princess. Hearing what the Empress Dowager has said, it seems that the princess is going to be promoted to her position."

It had to be said that Zhong's Zhen Zhen was an extremely intelligent person, he had only been to the palace once. Not only could he save the Empress Dowager, he could also find out what was going on in the palace.

Although it was related to Empress Dowager's indulgence, it was still her strength.

Within Phoenix Dancing Palace, the newly appointed Empress Zhuang was dressed in a light purple satin peony embroidered top with a high collar. Beneath it was a similarly colored, pleated long skirt.

Empress Dowager, this is the new Lotus Flower Cake served by the imperial chef.

The new palace maid, Ru Zhu, stood to the side and worked extremely hard, afraid that she would not be able to do it well. She angered Empress Zhuang, just like the palace maid from earlier today, and was beaten half to death right before her eyes.

Then, the Empress Zhuang gave the order that he pitied her and served her for a while before letting her pack up and return to her room to recuperate.

He used the pill and left in less than an hour.

A straw mat was wrapped around their bodies. It seemed that everyone was not surprised, and no one had any doubts.

"What are you bringing me, a lowly slut, to the This Palace for?" Empress Zhuang's voice was cold, but her mouth was like a knife as she reprimanded the palace maids.

Seeing her, Empress Zhuang inevitably thought of the palace maid who had died because of her.

Initially, he didn't intend to take her life. However, no matter which little palace maid he took, he wouldn't be able to deceive the Emperor. Thus, she was the most suitable for this task.

Now that this Ruzhu guy had come up, he felt a little uncomfortable wherever he used it.

Since it wasn't easy to make a decision, he decided to make it his own.

"Your Highness, please forgive me." Ruzhu was not stupid, he was just scared.

"Go down." The old nanny behind Empress Zhuang stepped forward.

"Take this cake away. Remember, the Empress doesn't like to eat lotus flower cakes."

Ru Zhu didn't understand. Since Empress Dowager didn't like eating Lotus Flower Cake, why did he have to serve Lotus Cake to entertain Madam Sun in the morning?

The Empress Zhuang would naturally not tell her the truth.

She had no choice but to take the pastries and retreat.

Only when they were outside the hall, breathing in the fresh air, did they feel that they were still alive.

However, just by taking in a deep breath, it was as if he could sense the stench of blood in the air. It left her at a loss.

"How did such a clumsy person climb up?" Was it so easy to get into her palace?

Empress Zhuang looked at the door.

The sun shone brightly.

Seeing such a golden light, his heart grew much wider.

"Esteemed Empress, if there were only smart people in the world, wouldn't everyone be exhausted to death?"

If the former empress was smart enough, would she have schemed against her child?

If Imperial Consort Yu was smart enough, how could she have failed again and again?

If they were smart, how would their His Highness the Fourth Prince get the throne in the end?

Thus, they naturally did not have to be too smart.

There's always enough to be smart.

Right now, the left and right Empress Dowager do not lack people to order around, just casually use them. Why ask for too much?

"That's true. They are only pawns. If the pawns were to become smart themselves, what would they need us to do?"

Empress Zhuang sighed with emotion, then recalled the important matter.

"Then, what does mama think?"

From early morning, Zhong's was not the only woman called over by the imperial court. Her position was much higher than hers, and the position was even lower.

However, after some comprehensive evaluation, it seemed to be Zhong's's greatest advantage.

"The Empress has already come to a conclusion in her heart. This servant does not wish to say too much."

If the Empress Zhuang had not taken a fancy to the Zhong's, she would not have sacrificed her palace maids to create such a drama.

"This Palace told you to say it." old nanny had been by Empress Zhuang's side for a long time.

He was a man who thought about himself wholeheartedly, and it was rare to see him as a very intelligent person.

He would never say anything unnecessary, and he would never do anything unnecessary either.

It was very convincing.

"The best choice would be the Qian Family."

The point of view of the old nanny was that since the Empress Zhuang now had a lot of power, what was lacking was the financial resources that matched up to her status and position.

In the entire capital, there were plenty of rich people, but how could such a rich man easily enter the eyes of the Empress Dowager?

After all, wealth merchants were the cheapest industry.

At that time, I'm afraid everyone will laugh at Fourth Prince's smelly copper body.

However, the Qian Family was different.

They were the hereditary marquis. Not only were they respected in the noble provinces, but they themselves could do business. Naturally, they also had the wealth of rich and wealthy people. Wasn't this the best if they had both status and money?

"Also, this servant has heard that the ladies of the Qian Family are not bad either. Although they were born in a concubine state, they are raised in accordance to the rules set by the descendants." The most important thing was that she was born under Madam Hou's knee.
