Because of Helian Mingyue's relationship, Eunuch An was extremely polite to Du Suxi and Taohua. He originally clamored to take care of Taohua, but now he was smiling next to Taohua with a charming look. , a completely different person from before. Du Suxi saw it, but snickered in her heart. Xin Dao said that there was something good about that troublesome spirit. If he had known it earlier, he would have asked Tao Hua to take a few more things from Mingyue's hand. It would have nothing to do with scaring people.
This is why she dares to think so. This token, which can represent the princess, is of unparalleled value, and ordinary people can't even touch it. She is good, and she actually started to plan in her heart to defraud a few more pieces from Mingyue. If Eunuch An knew about Du Su Xi's thoughts would probably make her vomit blood in anger and scold Du Su Xi for being too greedy.
Because Taohua was stubborn, she wanted to go to the palace to have fun and see the bright moon. Du Suxi tried to stop her but to no avail, so she had no choice but to sigh and agree. The two of them, one large and one small, followed Eunuch An into the palace. During this period, Eunuch An even found a hidden moment to secretly give Du Suxi the silver that had just been "blackmailed" from her hands. His attitude towards Du Suxi was more respectful. Du Suxi was dumbfounded for a time. I laughed secretly in my heart. If she had known that Helian Mingyue's name was so intimidating, she would have used it a long time ago.
With a sigh, Du Suxi looked at the majestic gate of the palace, and an idea came to her mind.
If he could meet Jingwei before entering the palace to see the emperor, and with Jingwei guiding him, he might have a better chance of getting out safely. After all, He Lianheng was the emperor's most admired prince, and his current background was really "unbearable". If the old emperor threatened him...
Du Suxi had to consider the way forward and retreat in everything.
Frowning, Du Suxi quietly pulled Eunuch An aside and told Eunuch An truthfully what she was thinking. A strange look appeared on Eunuch An's face. He glanced at Du Suxi, but still flatly refused. After all, this can be regarded as the crime of deceiving the emperor. Although he is favored and is a first-class eunuch, in the final analysis, he is still a slave and cannot influence the situation. Even though Du Suxi took out many coveted banknotes, he never tempted An Gonggong.
Facing Eunuch An's rejection, Du Suxi could only smile bitterly. I also knew in my heart that this method was difficult to achieve, so I had to smile bitterly and think of other ways. Seeing Du Suxi's sad face, Eunuch An gave him a few words of comfort, and then came up with a compromise.
Although he couldn't take Du Suxi directly to Jingwei, after the emperor summoned him, Eunuch An could arrange a meeting between the two. Although the time was short, it was still the limit of Eunuch An. After Eunuch An finished speaking, he looked at the stack of banknotes in Du Suxi's hand suggestively. Du Suxi had extraordinary eyesight and didn't know what Eunuch An was thinking. He sighed in his heart and secretly gave the banknotes in his hand to Eunuch An. . But he was already thinking in his heart. Only in this way can you escape safely.
She is not a girl who is inexperienced in the world. On the contrary, as a killer, she is much more alert to potential crises.
After entering the palace, although she was shocked by the grandeur of the palace, it was not the first time for Du Suxi to enter. What's more, she had the vision of her previous life there. Although the palace was much more majestic and bright than the Forbidden City, Du Suxi See more
He was well-informed and didn't make any jokes. He was calm and followed Eunuch An through the palace calmly. Peach Blossom, on the other hand, this is the first time she has entered the palace. Everything she sees is new, as if Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden. She will stop when she reaches a place and look at all this in surprise. After being urged, Du Suxi refused to leave. Taking such a small follower with her made Du Suxi feel very embarrassed.
The old emperor of Tiansheng made an appointment with Du Suxi in Tianhua Palace.
The function of this Tianhua Palace is similar to that of the Imperial Study Room, but it is slightly smaller than the Imperial Study Room. The furnishings are all extraordinary. Taohua, a little money lover, is ready to make a move, but under Du Suxi's warning, Still angrily, he did not act rashly.
Eunuch An did not walk in, but just motioned for Du Suxi and the others to come in. At this time, Du Suxi's spirit, energy, and spirit were all in a tense state, hidden inside but not visible to the outside. It seems that there is no sign of vigilance. This is also due to her calm and steady character left behind as a killer in her previous life.
A top killer naturally knows how to restrain his killing intent and hide his emotions.
The carved beams and painted buildings are gleaming with treasures, and everything that catches the eye is rare. Jade gems, jade carvings and famous paintings. However, these things were directly ignored by Du Suxi at the moment. Even Taohua looked at the cabinet of Tianhua Palace with a solemn expression. Go step by step.
Unexpectedly, there seemed to be many people sitting in the inner court of Tianhua Palace.
Only when Du Suxi walked in did she see clearly. Among them were the old emperor and the empress, followed by more than a dozen concubines. One of them, sitting on the old emperor's hand, could be compared to the empress. This person was Jingwei. Then, there were the dozen or so concubines, but in the seat at the back in the middle was a person with sharp features and gorgeous features.
This person is none other than Concubine Mei.
Unexpectedly, Jingwei still couldn't defeat Mei Fei through such means. It seems that Mei Fei's power has done a lot in this.
Du Suxi's eyes flashed coldly, and the corners of her lips curled up into a sneer. She seemed to be dismissive of Concubine Mei. Let me ask, what is so scary about a concubine who has lost her favor? Not only was it not scary, but Du Suxi also found some opportunities.
These thoughts are a long story, but they only lasted for a moment in Du Suxi's mind. What's more, Du Suxi still lowered his head. No one present could see the change in Du Suxi's expression. After he raised his head again, By then, Du Suxi's face had returned to calm. It can even be considered indifferent.
Yes. Just indifferent.
Although it was obvious that these people came to her to accuse them, she was not afraid either. Jingwei's power in the palace could no longer be underestimated. If she was here today, she would not have any big trouble.
This is Du Suxi's move, and it is also a secret chess piece from before.
"Daughter of the common people, Tusha, please give my regards to the Emperor, my Queen, my Concubine, my concubines, please give my regards."
He bowed respectfully to everyone present. Du Suxi acted neither arrogant nor humble, but the old emperor seemed to have forgotten. He did not shout out the habitual greeting, but directly ignored Du Suxi and started talking to the queen. , seemed not to notice Du Suxi at all.
Without that sound of flatness, Du Suxi would not be able to
If he dared to get up, he could only stay there with his head lowered and a look of submission on his face.
At this moment, how could she not see that the emperor was deliberately trying to embarrass herself and give herself a taste of pain? Although she was unwilling to accept it, Du Suxi still endured it. A little impatience will mess up a big plan. If you can't bear this little anger, then the next step will be enough for you to see. I am afraid that these concubines, except for Jingwei, are not good people.
Time passed by minute by second. At this time, both the emperor and the queen were still chatting with interest. Du Suxi naturally did not dare to disturb them. Just like you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and the emperor deliberately makes things difficult for her, how can she have a chance to resist? With a bitter smile, Du Suxi secretly winked at Jingwei who was about to speak, signaling Jingwei not to speak. She knew deep in her heart that this was just the beginning.
Time passed slowly for half an hour, and Du Suxi still maintained her saluting posture. Even though there were big beads of sweat on her head, Du Suxi remained silent and maintained her saluting posture. The concubines on the side looked at Du Suxi with mostly teasing and disdainful expressions, and they were obviously looking forward to how Du Suxi would be tortured. Jingwei, on the other hand, looked worried. If Du Suxi hadn't hinted that she didn't need to worry about her before, she would have spoken long ago.
Du Suxi knew very well that a good knife should be used on the edge. If Jingwei interceded for him from the beginning, it might work, but what next? Jingwei's repeated pleas? That way, not only would it not save her, but it would harm her. Things can only be used in the right place if they are used where they are most needed!
On this aspect, Du Suxi's calculating heart is amazing!
"Are you the same woman as Tian Fei, who had some entanglements with His Highness the Third Highness?" Under the emperor's hint, the queen turned her head, looked at Du Suxi with a half-smile, and asked.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Du Suxi's face. But he immediately opened his mouth and admitted it openly. A hint of deeper fear flashed through his lowered eyes.
Obviously, this was another insult given to him by the old emperor.
At first, she deliberately ignored herself, and then she just let the queen speak. If she had met other women, she might have lost her composure. However, if you lose your composure, you will become passive.
Du Suxi's background is different, and her vision is naturally different. Compared to a woman who has never left the world, she can learn many, many things in the great era she lives in. What's more, she is a very good killer!
Du Suxi calmed down and showed no sign of anger, but was secretly looking for an opportunity. However, her performance slightly surprised the old emperor.
In the decades since he sat on the throne, what he has seen and heard is naturally extensive. But when he met a woman like Du Suxi, he still couldn't help but take a breath.
This woman's character is neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm and measured. Even after being ignored for such a long time, there is no hint of resentment at all. This aspect alone is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary women. The old emperor now vaguely understood why He Lianheng was so obsessed with the woman in front of him. This woman did have such skill and strength.
