Chapter 410 Concubine Rou's Conspiracy
"What's the matter? Speak!" Concubine Rou shouted angrily, her face frighteningly gloomy.
"Your Highness, I am risking my life to tell you that Prince Kang has asked Princess Cang Yue to come and serve him every morning in the past two or three days..."
"Afterwards, His Royal Highness Prince Kang also ordered the people guarding the Yangxin Palace not to leak the fact that Princess Cangyue had brought people to the Yangxin Palace."
The young eunuch with shifty eyes lowered his voice, a look of fear on his face, as if he was afraid of being discovered that he was reporting the matter to Concubine Rou.
When Concubine Rou heard this, her expression became even uglier. She clenched her fists tightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
She didn't expect that King Kang would do such a thing and deliberately conceal it.
She held back her breath, trying to control her emotions, and then asked, "Anything else?"
The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I also saw that His Royal Highness Prince Kang called out a young palace maid that the princess had brought with her."
When Concubine Rou heard what the young eunuch said, she suddenly felt angry again.
Concubine Rou has always known that Prince Kang and Cangyue have a good relationship, but the little girl Cangyue is not on the same page with them.
Instead, he is closer to the Evil King and Jiang Yimo and his wife.
If Cang Yue was allowed to go in to see the old emperor, she would definitely do something tricky and might even leak out the old emperor's situation. Then, a series of troubles would be triggered.
Thinking of this, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Well, this evil Prince Kang is really going too far! How dare he do such a thing without telling me, I am really disappointed in him!"
After Concubine Rou knew that Cangyue had visited the old emperor many times, she began to plan another conspiracy.
"Secret Guard, go check what Princess Cang Yue has been doing recently?"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone in the dark immediately jumped out to take orders and ran to investigate.
After a stick of incense had passed, the hidden guard came back and brought an important message to Concubine Rou.
"Master, when I went to Princess Cang Yue's residence to investigate, I learned from our spies next to the princess that the Evil King and Jiang Yimo had appeared in the princess's residence in the past two days, and also came to the Yangxin Palace with the princess."
Hearing this news, Concubine Rou showed a hint of sneer on her face: "Humph, they actually dared to come to the Yangxin Palace? They really walked into a trap."
The hidden guard continued, "I also learned that the princess once brought His Royal Highness the Evil King and a woman named Jiang to the Yangxin Palace."
Concubine Rou narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Great, so they really came to the Yangxin Palace. Looks like I have to make good use of it."
However, what made her angry was that Prince Kang even hid the truth from her.
"Haha! Just keep it a secret. When the old emperor dies, she can just say that Jiang Yimo and the evil king poisoned the old emperor to death. Then she can find a way to make the old emperor's sons fight for the throne, and she can reap the benefits."
Then, Concubine Rou waved her hand, signaling the secret guards to retreat, and then began to think about the next plan.
But what Concubine Rou didn't know was that every word she said was heard by the old emperor in bed.
The old emperor had originally closed his eyes, but at this moment he opened them slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes.
He lay quietly on the bed, as if there was no movement, but in fact, he was listening to Concubine Rou's words silently.
Every time he heard Concubine Rou say something, his breathing became a little faster. A warm current rushed from his chest to his throat. The strong smell of blood instantly filled his entire mouth, but he pursed his lips and swallowed it back.
He really couldn't imagine that Concubine Rou was such a vicious woman!
Fortunately, the clever girl Jiang Yimo was already prepared.
This morning, when she and Cang Yue came to see him, she secretly gave herself a special medicine.
This medicine could disrupt his pulse, making it impossible for Doctor Han to accurately diagnose his condition.
In this way, time was successfully delayed.
As long as Concubine Rou could not find a suitable scapegoat to take the blame for murdering the old emperor, she would not dare to attack the old emperor easily.
After all, she hadn't waited for the Evil King and his men to arrive yet, so how could she pin the crime of regicide on them?
Today he finally saw through Concubine Rou's true face.
……
At this moment, the old emperor was thinking about Jiang Yimo, and Jiang Yimo was also thinking of a way to sneak into the Yangxin Palace.
However, since Concubine Rou was here today, the guards in the Yangxin Palace were obviously tighter than before, which made it extremely difficult for her to find a way to sneak in.
Jiang Yimo thought to herself that if she wanted to successfully enter the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she would have to use some brains.
Feng Wuhen once told her that there were some secret doors or passages in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which were related to the murals on the walls outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but the specific location of the entrance was unknown.
So she began to observe her surroundings carefully, looking for any possible clues.
Suddenly, she noticed that a mural on the outer wall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation seemed a little strange.
When I got closer, I found that the pattern on the mural was subtly related to the layout of the palace. Perhaps this mural is the key to solving the mystery?
Jiang Yimo's heart moved, and she began to study the mural carefully. After some thinking, she finally discovered the secret - the lines in the mural actually outlined a secret passage leading to the interior of the Hall of Mental Cultivation!
Jiang Yimo was very excited after finding the entrance. She walked carefully along the secret passage, trying not to make any noise. Although the road was rough, she relied on her keen intuition and firm determination to get closer to her goal step by step.
Finally, she came to a secluded corner, only a few steps away from the Yangxin Palace. Next, she needed to wait for a suitable time and quietly enter the Yangxin Palace.
