The Queen's Middle Palace!

She was standing under a plum tree. The plum tree was covered with many branches and leaves, and her growth was excellent. It could be seen that it wouldn't be long before winter arrived, and she would be able to spit out her stamen.

A palace maid walked over, a dark cloak draped over her shoulders. She gently draped it over the empress's shoulders. "The night is cold, but the wind is cold. The empress worries about catching a cold."

The empress looked down at her cape. There were silver threads embroidered with large clumps of peonies on it, making it look very pretty.

"Did Feng'er send this?"

The palace maid laughed: "That's right. The fifth prince was very considerate. "I know that you, Empress, love peony."

"Yes, Feng'er is very filial." When she said these words, she had a different feeling in her heart.

At this moment, a voice of a bystander came from the other side of the courtyard. The voice was thick and cold.

"Esteemed empress sure is lucky." With such a filial son, it's a pity that my son can no longer be filial in front of me. "

"Who is it!" The voice came suddenly, the palace maid scolded.

The empress raised her hand to stop him. She didn't need Moonlight to know who was coming. After calculating the time, after she found out the news about Chunyu Hao, she should come over at this time.

"So it's Imperial Concubine Yu. Pell can't be rude. " The empress seemed to reprimand her palace maid on the surface, but there wasn't the slightest bit of sincerity in her words. "Imperial Concubine Yu is here today. Why didn't you inform her beforehand?"

She was blaming the palace maid, but her words were meant for Imperial Concubine Yu.

"Alright, esteemed wangfei, there is no need to blame those from the palace. With the empress's intelligence, you should have long guessed the reason why I came here today. "

"Imperial Concubine Yu, what are you saying? Although I'm a noble empress, I rarely leave this Dao Gate. Furthermore, I've always focused on buddhist affairs, so how could I have the energy to bother with such mundane matters?"

"Esteemed Empress is really an idle person, even I'm jealous." But since it's really as the empress has said, why did the empress take such a huge detour to tell me about this matter today? "

"What?" Imperial Concubine Yu must be joking. Didn't Hao'er say that he wanted to take a break to relax? What can happen? "

The two of them faced off against each other!

His words were sharp, but they had a deeper meaning.

"The empress doesn't need to give me any more meditation, I won't understand!"

"Hao'er was killed in the fire three months ago. This news was probably brought to you by your Feng Er. " Imperial Concubine Yu had been suppressing her emotions for so long, she was finally going to release them.

When the empress saw that she didn't even use a word of respect anymore, she knew that she was at the brink of Imperial Concubine Yu's emotions.

She knew why she was looking for him, but the queen didn't want to get involved. Therefore, she planned to play dumb and fool around.

How could Imperial Concubine Yu not know? She took a step forward and approached the empress?

She had a pair of narrow, phoenix-like eyes that were full of sharpness. Isabel wanted to step forward to stop him, but she was forced to step back with a glare from Imperial Concubine Yu.

The Queen took a deep breath and waved her hand, signaling Isabel to go down.

She took a step forward.

At this moment, she was only a step away from Imperial Concubine Yu. The two women who were about the same age had the same charm and the same Seven Apertures Mystical Heart. They were both women who belonged to the same man. However, there was some sort of hatred between the two.

At this moment, to Imperial Concubine Yu, this was also a mockery. She had fought with her for half her life, but who would've thought that today, she would join hands with her!

Actually, she had never stood so close to her before. Grand Concubine Yu had never looked at the empress so closely either.

Although the empress was over forty years old, her beauty was a natural harmony that didn't carry any offensive beauty. Her entire body emitted an incomparably cold aura, and her pair of brown glass-like eyes made people feel as if they were a thousand miles away.

This was the first time she looked at her in such a manner! She had never thought that the empress would be her opponent. She had always been the one being suppressed to the point where she had no way to retaliate, but today, Imperial Concubine Yu finally understood one thing. The empress's power actually exceeded her own details, and she had tactfully asked someone to tell her about Chunyu Hao.

"Tonight's moonlight is quite nice. If younger sister is interested, then older sister will accompany you." The Queen let go.

"Sister, this is exactly what you want." Imperial Concubine Yu also let her maids stay here.

The two women took advantage of the moonlight as they walked. However, no one knew what they had said …

Only on that night a secret agreement was made in the hearts of the two women.

After Jin Yu Lie heard the guard's report, he asked, "Did the Queen and Imperial Concubine Yu join hands?"

The guard replied, "This subordinate isn't clear about the details, but it looks like the empress agreed to Imperial Concubine Yu's request last night. As for the requirements, this subordinate didn't get too close and can't hear them clearly. However, this morning, this subordinate saw Imperial Concubine Yu leave the palace quietly with my own eyes. "

Imperial Concubine Yu left the palace and should only have one place to go, "She went to see Chunyu Hao?"

The guard nodded.

Since she knew that Chunyu Hao had already died, why did she plead for him to use the Dark Guard to search for Chunyu Hao's whereabouts in front of Chunyu Hong?

And what would the queen promise her?

These questions came one after another.

"Master, please advise us what to do next."

Jin Yu Lie calmly said, "Just keep watching, there's no need to do anything. "Wait!"

He had to wait and wait with all his heart. He had to wait until Imperial Concubine Yu and the others could no longer wait!

After the dark guards left, Jin Yu Lie turned around and went to another dark room.

It was very bright inside, not even a single candle flame was used, yet it was as bright as day. The dark room was abnormally clean. In the middle of the dark room was a memorial tablet, but it was covered with a white veil.

Jin Yulie walked up to the table and touched the tablet through the white gauze.

"Mother, although I promised you that I wouldn't kill them, they still came to hurt the people I cared about the most. They brought this upon themselves. "

As he leaned against the table, he sat down, as if he was leaning against his mother's side.

"Mother, I am not clear about what happened that year. You have covered up everything, but you have never thought about whether this sort of concealment is good or bad for me. The truth would come to light one day. I must know everything that has happened! "

Chunyu Feng entered the palace early in the morning. After the imperial court, he found a reason to go to the Middle Palace. The Empress sat at her table with a wolf-howl brush in her hand, dipped it into the paper, and waved a vigorous calligraphy.

Chunyu Feng looked at the words on the Xuan paper and said, "Imperial Mother's heart cannot rest, nor can the words!"

The queen raised her eyes and smiled as she looked at him. She passed the brush to Isabel and walked to Angele. "Feng Er, Imperial Concubine Yu came to see Imperial Mother last night."

"She must want mother to ally with her. Mother, have you agreed?"

The empress neither nodded nor shook her head, "Feng'er, what muhou wants is not this sky! "All Mother wants is …

Chunyu Feng listened quietly. He wanted to know everything, but he finally stopped when he saw that his mother was about to tell him what had happened all those years ago.

"What does Imperial Mother want me to do?" He said respectfully.

The empress's hand tightened around Pure Yufeng's hand, "Feng'er, remember, do not repeat the same mistake! Chunyu Hao's death, you should have seen it clearly! As for Jin Yu Lie, you must not make him your enemy! "

"This son doesn't understand mother's words!" He raised his eyes and met the empress's gaze. "Is this child unable to become the Great Qin's master?"

He did not understand why, when his mother spoke of Jin, she had a feeling about him that even he could not tell.

"What meaning does the master of the Great Qin have?" The empress said, "For the sake of this world, you have to sacrifice everything you care about, yet what you gain is loneliness …"

His mother's words were getting more and more incomprehensible to him.

"Muhou …"

"Feng Er!" The empress cut him off and looked at him without blinking, "I know what you're thinking, but there are some things I don't want you to know, because now is not the right time. I don't know what the consequences will be when the secrets of the years are unraveled. I'm not sure. However, you must remember that you still have an uncle. He is my mother's only kin. Maybe you don't understand now, but you have to believe in the Queen Mother. Wait a bit longer, the time is right, the Queen Mother will tell you everything. "

Chunyu Feng knew that if his mother didn't say anything about this, she definitely wouldn't say it.

However, he was more concerned about what kind of agreement Imperial Concubine Yu and his mother had reached.

Logically speaking, Chunyu Hao was Imperial Concubine Yu's only hope, and now that he was dead, Imperial Concubine Yu should have sought out Jin Lie for revenge. He didn't understand why Imperial Concubine Yu came to find his mother.

"Then Imperial Concubine Yu …"

Imperial Concubine Yu, the empress smiled coldly, "She wants to force the palace!"

Forcing the palace! When Chunyu Feng heard these two words, his face suddenly changed!

Imperial Concubine Yu, you're too bold!

Did she want the entire Great Qin Empire to accompany her son in death?

"Mother, you agreed?"

The empress laughed, with a profound look in her eyes.

"What does she want to do?" Chunyu Feng could roughly guess a little.

"August 15th!" The empress slowly spoke out a time.

Imperial Concubine Yu had secretly started to replace the imperial guards of the Great Qin Empire. This matter had happened in an extremely secretive manner, and the Yu clan was considered a reputable clan in the Great Qin Empire. However, it was very difficult to secretly replace some imperial guards.

Time passed step by step!

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival. The Imperial Palace was inviting a hundred officials to attend the banquet!

In the Great Qin Empire, besides the festival and the Emperor's birthday, the most important festival was the mid-autumn family banquet of the fifteenth day of the eighth month!

Even though it was called a family banquet, the scale was comparable to a new year!

It was also the fifteenth day of the eighth month when the Qin Empire was established. Therefore, this day held a special meaning to the Great Qin people.

This year is no exception.

There was still less than two months until the Mid-Autumn Festival. All the preparations for the festival were being carried out like a raging fire.

On the other side, they were also preparing.

Chunyu Hong looked at the secret letter on his desk. He was silent for a long time.

When Eunuch Hao brought the tea over, Chunyu Hong signaled him to read the contents of the secret letter. Surprisingly, his expression changed!

"How could this be?"

His eyes were filled with shock!

The secret letter said Imperial Concubine Yu and the empress had discussed forcing a palace!

This was a huge matter. Yet, the indifference on Chunyu Hong's face made Eunuch Hao feel even more astonished.

"Your Majesty, this …"

"Hao'er's death was a huge blow to Imperial Concubine Yu. However, what I didn't know was that she wanted to pull Xiao Rou down with her in order to avenge Hao'er."

Xiao Rou was the empress's maiden name. When Eunuch Hao heard this, he was shocked! From the looks of it, His Majesty was planning to watch the situation unfold before him.

"But, if His Majesty comes here, the Duke of Jin's identity will be exposed sooner or later. If that's really the case, will it be detrimental to him? "

"What's wrong with that? Whatever it is, it's what it is." Since Xiao Rou had already agreed to Imperial Concubine Yu's request, she should have made adequate preparations. Imperial Concubine Yu has miscalculated this time. "

Eunuch Hao looked at Chunyu Hong's back as his heart churned. August 15th was coming, and what would happen on that day...
