In the torrential rain, Her Majesty's tears also fell.

"Yes." The empress dowager waved her hand. "Perhaps I really shouldn't have gotten involved with matters of the previous dynasty."

The palace maid looked at the empress dowager in surprise. Then, she rose and left, quickly disappearing into the heavy rain.

Outside the Palace, Bing Lanyue saw Ru Zui. She was dressed in filial attire and stood outside the Palace.

Bing Lanyue endured the thought of rushing up to question him, and went in step by step to kneel before the spirit hall that was being built in a hurry.

The next time she saw Emperor Xuanyuan Jin was actually at Empress Dowager's funeral.

The Empress Dowager's funeral would take seven days, but the entire palace would be decorated with white gauze for a year, and the troops would be sent to the treasury.

After bowing, Bing Lanyue took a few steps back and knelt to the side, coldly staring at the people who were really or really grieving for her. In truth, deep in her heart, she admired the Empress Dowager, she had listened to the government for so many years, controlled the highest authority in the empire for so many years, and during these years, the empire was prosperous and it was under the control of the late emperor. However, after a certain period of development, she already encountered a bottleneck.

When the Empress Dowager realized this, he decisively let go of the power in his hands and let the emperor take charge personally.

If Further...

Bing Lanyue glanced at the spirit hall of the Empress Dowager. That great woman had never failed the Xuanyuan Imperial Family even in his death. If it was any other woman, such as Wu Ze Tian, he would probably have killed the emperor long ago.

Wait, kill the emperor! Bing Lanyue suddenly thought of the two medicines she had smelled before, the Mandala Flower and the Intestine Breaking Grass.

Now that she and Monarch Moli had separated, it was all because of Emperor Xuanyuan Jin. Bing Lanyue hated Xuanyuan Jin to death, and only hoped that he would drink to his death sooner.

In the short span of a few days since she had entered the palace, she had encountered death, the death of a woman, and the death of a great woman.

Bing Lanyue peeked her head out to take a peek at the corpse inside the coffin, only to see a proud smile on her face.

The Empress Dowager had controlled the imperial government for so many years, wasn't he also proud of himself?

Her mind was in chaos.

In the evening, the heavy rain gradually stopped. Other than the occasional light drizzle, there were no other signs of rain.

Bing Lanyue knelt on the ground, supported by Nian Qiu and her, for a long time. Her two knees were in pain, she turned her head and saw Imperial Concubine Yun taking out two thick cushions under her knees. She smiled, supported by Nian Qiu and Meng Xia, and limped her way out.

"Eldest Miss, wait a moment." Ru Zui scuttled out like a ghost, and said faintly: "State Advisor wishes to meet you for a moment."

Bing Lanyue shook her head, and said: "Tell him, I do not wish to see anyone.

Ru Zui laughed bitterly: "Eldest Miss, this servant is one of the people from the Empress Dowager, there are some things that I should confess to you."

"What is it?" Bing Lanyue stared at Ru Zui in astonishment.

Nian Qiu and Meng Xia, on the other hand, looked at Ru Zui warily. They knew that Ru Zui had once left the Red Dust Inn with Matriarch, but today, they had met him in the Tender Peace Palace.

Ru Zui laughed in embarrassment: "First Miss must be very curious, why didn't I go to the Crown Prince's place, and instead come back quietly, could you give me a chance to explain myself and move around?"

"Alright." Bing Lanyue was currently disheartened. Even if Ru Zui killed her now, that would be it.

State Advisor was dressed in a long robe, waiting at the side hall of the Tzu Ning Palace. When she saw Bing Lanyue, he lightly sighed in relief, stood, and bowed while saying, "Greetings, Miss Bing."

She could understand why Ru Zui called her young miss, but State Advisor …

"Eldest Miss must want to know why His Majesty was brought to the Imperial Palace before." State Advisor said unhurriedly: "What this Empress Dowager told your majesty, this Empress Dowager has last words."

Bing Lanyue suddenly wanted to laugh. How ironic.

Previously, he had solemnly vowed to leave with her nephew, but in the blink of an eye, he had sold himself out.

Bing Lanyue glanced at Ru Zui, and knew that whoever she was leaving with, was someone from the Empress Dowager, so who else could it be other than Ru Zui?

As if seeing through Bing Lanyue's thoughts, State Advisor shook her head: "It's not Ru Zui, but Ru Xin."

Ru Xin? that was schemed by him to be sold to the flower street beside the West Market?

Bing Lanyue laughed. She had always thought that she could take control of everything and that she was born to be proud of herself as a Transcender, but who would have thought that she would actually fall for a nobody, and a nobody who was about to be forgotten.

"Madam Lin informed Imperial Concubine Li through Ru Xin, and Imperial Concubine Li told Empress Dowager as well. That's why you are here." State Advisor glanced at Nian Qiu and Meng Xia who were beside Bing Lanyue.

How could Bing Lanyue not understand the meaning behind State Advisor's words? She said: "They are my sisters, there is no need to avoid them, there is no need for Ru Zui to avoid them either, everyone is a straightforward person, let alone use secret language."

State Advisor took a deep breath and said, "Your face looks extremely strange. Originally, your fate had been predestined to be that of wealth, but this sovereign has never understood it. It was only recently did I find the answer in the records of the Heaven Viewing Platform."

State Advisor paused here. Usually when she said till here, there would always be someone at the side asking about it and patting his ass, but today … Bing Lanyue was not interested in the profession of Divine Rod.

"Cough, cough." State Advisor coughed to hide her embarrassment and said: "The phoenix is descending upon the world, fated to be a peach blossom."

Bing Lanyue finally understood why she was so popular. Whether it was the emperor, the Prince Yi, or even Monarch Moli, they all thought that she would become a phoenix descending from the heavens, thus they had a whole new level of respect for him. In other words, if she did become a phoenix descending from the heavens, then her husband would be the emperor!

"Lord State Advisor." Bing Lanyue squeezed his facial features together and said, "Can you allow me to say my heartfelt words?"

State Advisor proudly raised her head, as if she was proud of herself, and said: "Of course you can."

"Damn you!" Bing Lanyue struggled free from Nian Qiu and Meng Xia who were supporting her, pointed at State Advisor's nose and cursed: "You bastard! What does it have to do with you that I am alive and well? What was a phoenix descending upon the world? I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace with my beloved, what does that have to do with you? Why didn't you say I was going to rule the world? "

State Advisor was stunned by Bing Lanyue's scolding. He looked at Bing Lanyue suspiciously, and asked curiously: "Is it not good for Feng Lin Tian'er?"

"I'll be damned!" Bing Lanyue cursed fiercely and turned to leave.

"Eldest Miss, wait." Ru Zui stopped Bing Lanyue and asked: "State Advisor, do you not understand what you mean?"

Bing Lanyue said snappily: "What is fake, I understand, isn't that the Divine Rod? I understand! I also know that his words made me a caged bird. Master State Advisor, what grudge do you have between us, why are you framing me like this? "

The State Advisor hastily waved her hands and said, "No matter what, Your Majesty is weak. In the future, you will be the empress, empress dowager, and Empress Dowager. Isn't that a cause for celebration?"

Bing Lanyue endured the anger in her heart and asked: "Then I would like to ask, Lord State Advisor, what makes you think that the current Emperor will be my husband?

State Advisor stared blankly for a moment, then pinched her fingers and started calculating, after which she sank into deep thought.

Bing Lanyue did not have the time to bullshit with the Divine Rod. She knew that it was because of the Empress Dowager that he appeared in the Imperial Palace and did not show his condolences anymore.

After exiting the door, Ru Zui followed closely behind. Bing Lanyue did not bother with her, and directly went to her living quarters.

After the heavy rain, there were still some water stains on the stone floor of the palace. She did not care about anything else, and only focused on leaving quickly.

Imperial Concubine Mei nodded apologetically, opened her mouth, and did not say anything. However, Bing Lanyue stepped forward and asked: "Mei Niang, what do you want to say, do not hesitate to say."

"The empress dowager took care of Empress Dowager before he passed away, so little sister, I went to Kun'an Palace to look for you after I returned from the Palace of Tzu Ning. I couldn't find you, so I came back again."

Kun'an Palace? Was it the shitty house he lived in?

Bing Lanyue asked: "Elder sister, what do you have to say for yourself?"

The Imperial Concubine Mei moved closer to Bing Lanyue's ear and said, "The former Duke of the Subordinate Nation was killed by the Empress Dowager. This time, little sister came to the palace because of little sister Yun Yun and her sister, the one who was part of the plan to run away with Sir Jun Fei, was the Madam Lin."

After Imperial Concubine Mei finished speaking, she took a quick glance at the frozen Bing Lanyue, lowered her head, and left.

Bing Lanyue was stunned. Why did Imperial Concubine Mei know about this, she had just heard it from State Advisor, how did Imperial Concubine Mei know?

Would the Empress Mother tell her?

Bing Lanyue turned her head, the figure of Imperial Concubine Mei had long disappeared.

Regarding Imperial Concubine Mei's goodwill, Bing Lanyue was more or less a little touched. Today's Yin Susu, Shi Qiuyue and Tao Mengyu should not be unexpected, right? It looked like they had to train Monarch Moli in the Inner Palace for a private conversation, if not, he would be swallowed by the people from the Inner Palace before he could even see Monarch Moli.

Bing Lanyue stopped in her tracks as she thought about it. She looked at the clear water and saw the goldfish swimming around.

"Large... Master, Eunuch Xu is here. " Ru Zui carefully reminded his.

Eunuch Xu, Xu Jing, was the eunuch at the emperor's side. He rushed over and saw Bing Lanyue by the lake, and shouted loudly from afar: "Worthy Lady Bing, the roads are slippery in the rain, you must be careful."

Bing Lanyue tiredly closed his eyes and opened them once again. A gem-like radiance flashed in his eyes.

Since he was already here, he might as well settle for now. Xuanyuan Jin, didn't you want to stabilize your position as Emperor? Then let's chat and see if it's you, the emperor, or I, the little girl who is the strongest.

This girl came from the 21st century, who's afraid of who?
