If not abolished

Chapter 405 Taking the opportunity to seize power (2)

The Crown Princess and Hu Shanxiang walked out of the Yikun Palace together. After walking for a while, the Crown Princess suddenly said, "Let's go to the East Palace and sit for a while."

"Yes." This means that there is something I want to tell her.

"All of you go down, I have something to say to the Crown Princess." As soon as the two of them sat down, the Crown Princess asked everyone to leave.

Hu Shanxiang suddenly felt a little frightened. The Crown Princess was very thoughtful and might have discovered something.

"I didn't dare tell the Imperial Concubine about Agui's matter. Remember not to let it slip. I just received news from the spies that Prince Zhao and his men are on their way back. Agui's whereabouts are still unclear. The Crown Prince is still sending people to track him down. But when Prince Zhao and his men come back, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing. We will definitely have a tough battle to fight in the palace next. This period of time will definitely not be easy. Don't keep anything to yourself. Tell me."

"Well, I know," Hu Shanxiang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was overthinking it. "By the way, your Majesty, you must keep a close eye on Concubine Guo to prevent her from stabbing you in the back." Hu Shanxiang reminded her that this concubine seemed virtuous on the surface, but she had always been at odds with the Crown Princess, and she was involved in every incident.

"She... I have been fighting with her for so many years. She doesn't have much brains, so I shouldn't be too wary of her. I don't think she can do anything." The Crown Princess had no time to care about her now.

"Your Majesty, sometimes the insignificant things often turn out to be the most significant in the end... No matter what, it's always right to watch first." Hu Shanxiang reminded again. The Crown Princess was also so confident back then, thinking that Concubine Guo was just making small troubles and would not cause any big trouble. However, it turned out to be a disaster later.

"Yes, I understand. I will have someone keep an eye on her. Don't worry, you should also pay more attention to yourself and Nuan Nuan these days. If it really comes to that... I'm afraid the King of Han and the others will not let us go..."

"No, I believe that His Highness will come back." Although Hu Shanxiang had no good feelings towards Zhu Zhanji, she also hoped that he would... but nothing could happen to him now, otherwise the world, which had just been peaceful for a few years, would be in chaos again.

"Well, let's hope so." The Crown Princess could only hold on to this hope.

Two more days passed like this.

In Changchun Palace, Concubine Zhang's personal maid quietly walked up to her and whispered in her ear.

"Have you found out everything?" Concubine Zhang asked in shock. She also showed a happy expression on her face, but she was still a little worried. After all, this matter must be confirmed clearly, otherwise...

"It's absolutely true. Two days ago, when the Princess of Han County came to pay her respects, she was separated by a screen. Apart from the Crown Princess, no one else has entered the Yikun Palace in the past two days. It's obvious that they are hiding something. Several imperial doctors also go to the Yikun Palace every day. If there was really nothing wrong, how could it be..." The maid talked about what had happened in the past few days.

"You're right. The person must be dying. If that's the case, quickly send a message to my brother and tell him the news in the palace. We can start now." Concubine Zhang became excited instantly. "By the way, ask the concubine of the East Palace to come over."

"The Concubine rarely goes out. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if we send someone over now?" the maid said worriedly.

"We have to let people know. Besides, we are a family, and we prosper together and suffer together. Even if she did nothing, others will not believe that she has nothing to do with this matter."
