That day, the old woman came in to bring her food, while the other one cleaned up the toilet and so on. Shen Yingxia was drowsy, and the two of them chatted among themselves.

The old woman who delivered the meals had just returned from the capital and said that on the second day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor passed away. The lantern festival was originally going to be held for three consecutive days, but something big happened, so naturally it had to be stopped.

The capital was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave. There were many soldiers patrolling the streets. She waited for seven days before leaving the city and returning to Zhuangzi.

At this moment, Shen Yingxia was extremely excited.

First of all, we must find opportunities to observe the Queen and try our best to guess her true thoughts. Only in this way can Shen Yingxia decide whether to cooperate with her.

However, the queen's status is valuable and there are not many opportunities to come into contact with her.

She must seize this opportunity today.

The two emperors and empresses were of high status, and all the girls couldn't let go of their presence.

So after the banquet is over, they will leave first, allowing the girls to play some small games freely.

The emperor got the answer he wanted from Shen Yingxia today, and his focus will definitely be on the selection of his concubine. So the two of them might go back to their respective dormitories.

Shen Yingxia's only chance was to attract the Queen's attention on her way back to the palace.

When the banquet was about to end, Shen Yingxia greeted A-mei and left Linglan to pay attention to the scene. He himself waited in advance on the Queen's only way back to Kunning Palace.

The banquet was not over yet, except for the wind, there was no movement at all. On weekdays, some father-in-law and maidservant would occasionally pass by. Today, she waited here for a long time, but she didn't meet anyone, which was strange.

Perhaps, all the manpower has been transferred to the Imperial Garden to take care of those delicate little girls!

Shen Yingxia thought so.

The liveliness of the Imperial Garden is in sharp contrast to the tranquility here.

Within this deep palace wall, there are countless places that no one has ever set foot on.

After a while, the queen's sedan chair came closer and closer. The pearls and emeralds on the gorgeous clothes made the queen's fair and smooth face sparkle.

When she came to the front, the queen raised her hand, and the sedan chair stopped: "Why is Mrs. Shen here?"

"Reporting to the Queen, I just went to change my clothes and accidentally got lost. However, I was afraid that I might have strayed into some place I shouldn't have entered, so I simply waited here for the palace officials to take me back."

"Well, he is a man who knows how to advance and retreat. Come and have a cup of tea with me before going back!" The Queen raised her hand again, and the sedan started to move again.

Shen Yingxia followed step by step, cautiously.

A bold idea appeared in her mind.

Could it be that the Empress wanted to have a private conversation with her, so she transferred all the palace people away?

After entering the inner room and serving refreshments, the Queen dismissed the palace guests. She and Shen Yingxia were the only two people left in the hall.

"Just now I saw you leaving the table early, and I had a vague feeling that you might have something to say to me."

"The empress has a clever plan."

The queen removed the slight smile that had been hanging on her face and looked a little tired: "Are you really able to predict the future?"

"Yes." Shen Yingxia bowed and replied.

"It's just you and me here, no need to be polite." She waved her hand, "Just now you said that we can't do any more divination today, but is it true?"

At this time, although the queen is no longer perfect, she is more relaxed and more humane.

"If the queen needs it, the daughter of the people is willing to take the risk." Shen Yingxia's eyes were firm.

She must capture the queen today to provide herself and the Shen Mansion with additional protection.
