If there were people who didn't know better, they would have thought that the Nanny Lv was some kind of family master, and would actually be escorted by so many young eunuch s. Even Zhuang Li, who was serving the Emperor, didn't have such a grand demeanor.

But the reason the young eunuch s were holding onto the Nanny Lv at this time was unknown. The Nanny Lv was a well-behaved old man compared to them in the palace, so naturally, the old man's words held more weight than the old man. Moreover, since she had sent them all the way here during lunch, naturally she had gone through Qingyang Palace. She could more or less hear some news, and it could be considered the most trustworthy thing that she had ever said.

The palace was different from the outside. Watching people outside the palace were people arguing with each other on the street. The woman from that house had pulled out her husband from the Drunken Flower Tower, so there was no point in taking out a family that sold vegetables. Once the commotion broke out, the street was immediately surrounded by a crowd.

However, the palace was different. The entire palace was surrounded by a single family. Naturally, it was the palace itself. All the excitement naturally surrounded the family as well. Although it seemed like there was a difference in the situation, that family was not to be trifled with after all. If he was angered, the show would not end and he would probably lose his life …

However, this sort of matter was caused by servants. Moreover, the people of this era also had a certain amount of fear and worship towards ghosts and gods, so they were naturally very concerned.

young eunuch, who was waiting in the pavilion, also had sharp eyes. He hurriedly gave her the best seat and pretended to wipe the originally clean stone block with his sleeve. The other pretended to serve a cup of tea and brought a cup of tea in front of Nanny Lv. Although there was no tea, Nanny Lv was amused by the naughty children and laughed.

"Aunt, tell us about the matters of Qingyang Palace." Someone saw the happiness in the Nanny Lv's heart and quickly made a petition for everyone.

"Yeah, yeah!" Aunt, why don't you just tell me! " Immediately, there were others who agreed and surrounded her while clamoring loudly, as if trying to prevent Nanny Lv from leaving.

They were all the little fellows that normally served their masters, and every one of them were extremely quick-witted. Immediately after, someone began massaging Nanny Lv's shoulders and legs, as if wanting to worship her.

The old aunt was so blinded by these children that she could only sigh and tell them stories.

"It's not as mysterious as you make it sound!" Nanny Lv was amused by their strange statements.

"But someone saw with their own eyes the head maid of the Imperial Noble Consort, Hanqin, waiting outside the Heart Nurturing Palace. After that, they will go report to the emperor about the ghosts."

"I heard that there are people waiting in the empress dowager's palace. If even the empress came forward to plead with the emperor, things might not be so simple."

"All of you are right." Nanny Lv said, still smiling merrily, seeing everyone's puzzled expression, she continued to laugh.

"Right now, there are people waiting outside the Heart Nurturing Palace in the empress and the Imperial Noble Consort Palace of Hanqin. It is true that they are waiting for the emperor, but the reason is indeed not as amazing as you guys say it is."

"What's that?" The crowd couldn't stand her teasing any longer and all became anxious.

"Only, Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin was sick and she could not sleep well. She invited a lot of imperial physicians, but they were all useless, so in the end, even the empress was alarmed.

The look did not matter, but the people from the Astrology Tower said that it was because there was indeed an evil Qi wreaking havoc in the air above Imperial Noble Consort's Qingyang Palace. If the evil Qi was not removed, the harem would not be able to rest peacefully.

That's why the empress knows about this. That's why they sent someone to report to the Emperor about inviting the Celestial Master of the Celestial Palace to do things in the palace. "

"Astrological platform? Didn't the Emperor not believe in astrology the most? "

"That's right, the former emperor built the Astrology Platform. When the former emperor left, the Emperor was going to push it away, but at that time, the old empress dowager was still here, so she trusted these techniques greatly. That's why she came out to stop the Emperor from saying that the Astrology Platform could not be broken apart. The emperor was filial and filial. He could only do as the empress dowager wished, but he set a rule that only when there was no way to resolve the situation would he go to the astrological platform. Ever since the emperor ascended to the throne, there had been no unresolvable situation. Although the Celestial Tower occupied its position in the imperial court, it had long since been abandoned by the emperor. It's just that it's missing a reason. I never thought that it would still dare to come out and speak. "

"This time, I reckon the emperor wants to find a reason to completely remove him, right?"

"That's right, that's right, I heard that the late emperor liked to consult an astrologer when he was still in the imperial court, but our emperor doesn't want to go through that. It's said that when he ascended the throne, that astrologer didn't know how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was, so he reported to the imperial court that a great calamity was about to befall upon the phoenix. His Majesty scolded him and he's full of nonsense. "

"I also remember that there was such a thing. The moment the Emperor heard that it was another person from the astrological platform speaking, he would probably beat them to the palace."

"That may not be so …" The Nanny Lv said. It caused a lot of people to be confused

"This time, it's the empress who personally provoked the people from the Celestial Tower. I heard that even though the emperor doesn't believe it, the empress believes it …"

"But doesn't the empress always follow the Emperor?"

"That's right, didn't the Emperor also hand over the affairs of the harem to the empress?"

"The Empress' family is well-off and has her own influence in the imperial court. Besides, this is a small matter of the harem, it's also appropriate for the empress to take care of the emperor."

"But would it anger the Emperor because of such a thing? After all, the Emperor extremely hates people from the Astrology Platform. "

"Since the emperor dealt with so many things in one day, it's possible that he wouldn't be bothered to pay attention to it …" What if the emperor listened to empress's persuasion and trusted the astrologer? "

Zhuang Li pulled Qing You and the others as they exited the crowd. They first went to grab their own lunchboxes, sat in the shadows under a tree, and then opened them with Qing You to eat.

"See …" "There shouldn't be any ghosts, right …" Her mouth was filled with food as she mumbled to herself about Qing You.

Qing You was also as relieved as if she was not as scared as before, but she still looked at Zhuang Li with some worry, and asked hesitantly: "Then tell me, why do you think Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin has been unable to sleep well? What if it's really her palace with some kind of evil aura? "

"Why are you so unworthy!" Zhuang Li smacked Qing You's forehead with her chopsticks

"Can you sleep?"

"Sleeping." Qing You stared at her blankly.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Sleep …" "Sleep well …"

"Then who cares about her …" "Can insomnia infect you?"

After being nagged at for a while, Qing You lowered her head and did not speak. After a long while, when Zhuang Li was almost full, he asked in a low voice.

"Miss, I'm afraid that there might really be evil …" Seeing Zhuang Li's unkind expression, she obediently lowered her head. mumbling to herself

"Alright, alright. I understand. There isn't such a terrifying thing in this world …"

The Nanny Lv guessed correctly, the Emperor went to court on time, and probably told the Queen to do as she pleased at the door, and the matter was settled like that. However, after this matter was settled, the Celestial Tower would truly be crippled.

Yesterday, the Emperor did not come to the Imperial Study, but Zhuang Li was still waiting in the teahouse until very late in the night. She did not know when she would leave, and only thought of leaving in order to be able to get closer to the Emperor. She was still in her dreams when she heard a knock on the door. She initially thought it was Qing You, but just as she was about to say wait, the people outside had already broken in.

"Who are you?" Zhuang Li quickly sat up. In front of him were two old nanny s, one could tell that they were difficult to deal with characters, they were already quite old, but they did not have a single trace of gentleness in them. She reckoned that they had already refined them in the battle at the palace and asked Imperial Noble Lady Ya to quickly go to that Wai He Palace.

Zhuang Li's heart went cold. Huhe Palace was the palace of the empress, but what reason did the empress have to touch the person beside the Emperor? She did not dare to be negligent and hastily put on her jacket and followed the old nanny out. At the door, there were actually two strangely dressed men waiting, they looked like Taoists, but after thinking carefully, this palace was forbidden by the Emperor from using the Lich Gu technique. Where were the Taoists?

She was shocked.

Astrology Platform...

He didn't expect that the incident with the ghost a few days ago could actually drag him into it … There was no reason for it, she kept a very low profile in Imperial Study and almost never went out.

And at this moment, she remembered what happened at Qingyang Palace … and also the face of Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin, who was not happy with him …

This is going to be troublesome …

Qing You was woken up by the noise outside and when she pushed open the door, she saw that a few people had dragged Zhuang Li out of the Imperial Study.

Speaking of which, she was not even the least bit familiar with this palace. Following behind the old nanny, there were not only two cultivators wearing strange clothes, there was also a young woman with a command medallion.

They were most likely the personal guards of empress.

Kneeling in the main hall of Huai He Palace, Zhuang Li didn't know what she was facing. It seemed that she wasn't the only one that was taken away early in the morning, she was the first one that was brought away. Several more palace maids and young eunuch s were brought in and all knelt beside her. She lowered her head, not daring to speak. As soon as the timid one entered the Huhe Palace, she knew that the empress was in trouble, and couldn't stop crying no matter how hard she tried.

Although Zhuang Li had already stayed in the palace for nearly two years, she had never seen such a scene, and was unclear about the personality and methods of the empress. She didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation in the palace.

The little palace maid was so scared that she began to cry. Although she had only been in the palace for a year, she had long since heard that it wasn't easy to find trouble with the empress.

At this moment, the Taoist astrologer was still standing in front, holding the compass. He seemed to be calculating something, his expression grave.

Liar!

As the number of people being escorted into the palace increased, even though Zhuang Li didn't dare to turn around to look, she estimated that there were already several tens of people in the corner of her eye.

It was as if there was a very long list written on the list of people to be escorted over. [You clearly have the paper, but yet you want to use bamboo tactics. Why is this fellow playing tricks on me?]

The female officer with the appearance of a martial artist was checking the names on the list. He read the names one by one, all the way to Zhuang Li.

"Ge Ya?"

Zhuang Li did not dare raise his head, and respectfully nodded his head, replying, hoping that the matter would quickly end.

Standing at the door and waiting, the number of people in the room gradually increased. Zhuang Li did not know, that the female officials who acted like a martial arts person, were actually very clear on what was going on in the Mistress Palace. The female officials who looked like martial artists were the famous people by the empress's side. I heard that she was a fierce person who had killed a palace maid with one palm. Now that she had set her sights on him, would he still be able to leave Huhe Palace alive?

Roughly an hour later, a eunuch sent a message from outside the palace hall.

"empress has arrived …"

It was as if the court ladies had received a death notice. They could not hold it in any longer and began to weep …
