C519 The unusual palace

The red sun was still hanging on the horizon, teetering on the verge of collapse. However, someone from the Yolk Sect had already sent him news: Everything in the palace was normal.

Baili Jinxiu's heart was still unable to calm down. She had a premonition that this palace was definitely not ordinary. But now, she couldn't find any news, causing her to feel even more uneasy.

She looked at the sky and saw that it was about ten years old. She hesitated for a moment before instructing the butler to prepare the sedan. If she did not go and see for herself, she would always feel uneasy.

When he arrived outside the palace, the sky was already dark. Baili Jinxiu thought for a moment and then handed over the Tzu Ning Palace's signboard.

In the palace, the only people she knew were the Emperor, the abandoned empress, and the empress dowager. Given the Emperor's current state, if he were to look for him now, he would undoubtedly be courting death.

Since the empress had already been abandoned, there was no way she could obtain any useful information. Moreover, even if the empress knew about her relationship with the empress, she wouldn't tell her anything.

Thus, after some thought, the only person who could go and look for her was the empress dowager.

However, thinking about it was one thing, doing it was another. Baili Jinxiu stood at the entrance of the Ci Ning Palace, his footsteps hesitating.

Last time, the empress dowager had loathed himself because of the empress dowager's imperial concubine. If he went in now, it would be difficult to protect himself from being blown out. But thinking about how abnormal the palace was, Baili Jinxiu gritted his teeth, and walked in.

The palace maid brought Baili Jinxiu all the way to a side hall of the Tzu Ning Palace. Inside the hall, there was a table full of sumptuous food that exuded a fragrant aroma.

The empress dowager sat at the head of the table, a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were lifeless from being blinded, but it still made people feel that it was very peaceful.

Baili Jinxiu secretly creased his brows, and politely bowed. "Chenqie will attend the empress dowager's empress dowager."

The empress dowager's blind eyes turned towards Baili Jinxiu's direction, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She waved in Baili Jinxiu's direction, completely unlike a blind person.

Baili Jinxiu was startled, what was the empress dowager trying to do?

The empress dowager would mock and ridicule her, or turn a blind eye to her, or throw him out. This was the result of Baili Jinxiu thinking about it for a long time while he was outside the door.

But now, the empress dowager had invited him over like a common grandmother, making Baili Jinxiu's mouth twitch. It was extremely abnormal!

But she walked over anyway.

"Why are you so distant? You are the wangfei of Xiao Xuan, you should call me grandma." Just as Baili Jinxiu sat down, he heard the empress dowager's words, and he felt goosebumps all over the ground.

Although things were extremely urgent, it wasn't a bad thing for the empress dowager to be nice to her. This way, she could more easily understand what had happened at the palace. Thinking of this, Baili Jinxiu sweetly called his grandmother.

Her Majesty was obviously very satisfied, and her smile was very amiable.

Baili Jinxiu saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched, and was a little doubtful: "Did the royal grandmother not have her meal yet?"

It had taken him a while to get here from the Prince An Palace, so it was already nearing the ninetieth hour, and he would normally eat at around nineties in the palace. Therefore, Baili Jinxiu was a little puzzled.

The palace maid at the side did not wait for the empress dowager's reply and quickly replied, "At the end of the day, the palace maid came to report that the Princess An had entered the palace. The empress dowager guessed that the Princess An had not eaten anything when he entered the palace, and had been waiting hungrily for the Princess An."

The palace maid's words carried a trace of anger. The empress dowager's health was not good in the first place, so the imperial physician had repeatedly reminded her to eat dinner on time. Yet, this Princess An had actually kept the empress dowager waiting for so long.

However, she forgot that Baili Jinxiu didn't make the empress dowager wait for her.

Baili Jinxiu's eyes darkened. Honestly speaking, for a senior to be able to do such a thing, it was quite touching. However, she could not forget how the Empress Dowager had tried to take her life over and over again.

His eyes dimmed as he said in a displeased tone, "How can Grandmother wait for the right brocade? Do you really think it's the Bend Ghost Beauty?"

The empress dowager's expression was as kind as ever as she said softly, "It's fine. This Dowager only waited for a while. Why don't you accompany This Dowager for a meal now?"

Baili Jinxiu nodded his head lightly. Then, thinking about how the empress dowager was blind, he answered yes and started to prepare some dishes for her as he ate.

Although the Empress Dowager was blind, she did not need to be served while she ate. It was not a problem to carry the dishes in her bowl by herself.

The empress dowager ate very little, so she quickly put down her chopsticks. The palace maids took away the food and served tea and snacks.

Baili Jinxiu held the teacup in his hand, and played with it left and right twice, thinking of his goal for coming here, he opened his mouth to ask: "I wonder how Grandmother is feeling recently?"

Although the empress dowager's attitude towards her was extremely amiable today, if he was asked directly about the unusual things that happened in the palace recently, the empress dowager would definitely be on guard. Thus, Baili Jinxiu could only chat and relax the empress dowager's guard.

"Isn't it all the same, now that the empress is gone, this one is really left empty in this palace."

One person? Baili Jinxiu heard that the Emperor respected the empress dowager very much. He would pay respects to the empress dowager whenever he had the time, and the empress dowager said that she had been alone for the past few days. She was busy with some matter before she came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Baili Jinxiu thought it was weird, but he did not show it on his face. He replied with a smile, "In the future, I will definitely come and accompany Grandmother a lot of times."

Seeing that the time was right, Baili Jinxiu smirked and unwittingly said: "Then does Imperial Grandmother have any interesting things happening in the Imperial Palace? "Perhaps there is something strange going on in the palace, so as to pass the time."

The empress dowager muttered to herself before slowly opening her mouth. "There aren't any interesting things about this palace. At the very most, there's a small plaid cat that often likes to call out to me at the Palace."

Baili Jinxiu was a little disappointed. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to find anything today, but the empress dowager seemed to have thought of something.

"Something strange seems to have happened in the palace recently. Emperor …"

Baili Jinxiu's heart skipped a beat. This matter concerned the Emperor, and was most likely the truth that he was looking for. However, the empress dowager's mention of the Emperor was immediately cut off by a notification.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, Eunuch Fu Shun requests an audience."

Fu Shun? A deformed face with a smile appeared in front of Baili Jinxiu's eyes. After being stunned for a moment, Fu Shun had already entered the hall.

"This servant will participate in the empress dowager and Princess An."

Fu Shun's sharp voice made the empress dowager frown. She waved at him and asked, "What are you doing here at such a late time? But did the Emperor allow you to come? "

"To reply esteemed empress dowager, this servant did indeed come on the orders of the Emperor, but …" Fu Shun glanced at Baili Jinxiu and said: "The Emperor has decreed that he is to immediately leave the palace, and return to the manor to meditate."

The empress dowager's expression changed, but there was no discernible happiness or anger on her face. She said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then help this one send Princess An out of the palace."

Fu Shun thanked his profusely, and bowed towards the empress dowager in farewell.
