Chapter 38 The Cunning Woman

Tong Shiying walked back slowly all the way, at first she just felt that the Taihe Palace seemed a little quieter than usual, but at this moment, she felt angry and dignified.

She couldn't help wondering, what happened at today's banquet?
Walking through the corridor, just around the corner, she suddenly heard someone talking in a low voice.

Clinging to the wall, Tong Shiying couldn't help but lighten her steps, approached slightly, held her breath and listened carefully.

"I really don't know who is so courageous. You haven't seen how ugly the emperor's face is."

The voice was high-pitched, with the peculiar quality of an eunuch's voice.

Another young eunuch answered: "Yes, this is completely despising the imperial power, and does not take the emperor seriously at all."

"No, murdering a high-ranking official and presenting the head of the high-ranking official as a congratulatory gift to the emperor is simply extremely rampant."

"Hey, there are envoys and princes from the Nansang Kingdom at the banquet today. This incident is not just as simple as murdering high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but also discredits the royal family. The emperor will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Tong Shiying covered her mouth in shock.

Someone gave a human head as a congratulatory gift at Emperor Jiayan's birthday banquet?

And this head is still a minister of Emperor Jiayan?
incredible!
Who is it, my dear friend, who can do such arrogance, completely disregarding the king of a country?

No wonder I just saw the empress dowager's frightened and worried look.

With such a big event happening in the palace, the empress dowager should not care about her for the time being. If I ask her to leave the palace at this time, I wonder if she will agree?

While thinking, Tong Shiying quietly walked to her room, without disturbing the little eunuchs who were talking together.

Back in the room, after a while, a court lady brought dinner, after eating and taking a bath, Feng Feicheng still didn't show up.

Never show up again.

This night, finally no one robbed her of sleeping in the bed, and she was finally clean.

……

After a few more days, the anger in the palace seemed to be getting more and more serious, and the guards were several times more than usual.

As for Feng Feicheng, since he knew the secret of her body that day, he has never appeared since he left.

But to Tong Shiying, this didn't arouse too much feeling.

She originally planned to ask the Empress Dowager to leave the palace earlier, but the incident that happened at the banquet last time seemed to have not been resolved, let alone arresting people, there was no trace of him at all.

So she never found a suitable opportunity to mention this matter.

Another day passed.

Empress Dowager Liu seemed to really have no time to take care of her, and the crown prince's selection was temporarily put on hold. Tong Shiying felt that it was a perfect opportunity to find an excuse to leave the palace at this time and then slip away.

So, early in the morning, she went to the dormitory of Empress Dowager Liu, and then explained her purpose.

Empress Dowager Liu was obviously taken aback when she saw her clean and beautiful face.

Didn't expect this little girl to be so beautiful?

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes quickly flashed a hint of deep meaning, as if she understood something.

What a cunning woman.

She still had a gentle face and a good temper, but she refused to let go of the matter of leaving the palace.

Tong Shiying originally thought that Empress Dowager Liu would definitely agree, because she only said that she wanted to go out of the palace to see her father, and she would definitely come back before dark.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Liu flatly refused, saying that the outside of the palace has not been peaceful recently, and for her personal safety, she cannot leave the palace for a while.

Can't you find a better excuse?

Even if it is not peaceful, it is also aimed at the royal family, okay?
