Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Chapter 113 Blocking the Road

After a moment of anxiety, Nan Yingzhi quickly calmed down.

If she was just the Nan Yingzhi who had just taken over the affairs and knew nothing about the previous dynasty and the harem, all she could do now was indeed to pray for Yun Ji.

But as luck would have it, she is now on the same front as Concubine Shu's brother, Song Cheng.

Then Concubine Shu, Song Yue, and Yun Ji should not be in a hostile relationship.

On the contrary, they should support each other and work together to take action against Yun Ting.

Calming down his mind, Nan Yingzhi patted Lingyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, I have a plan. Go and ask Song Cheng to come to the palace."

Zhuixia Palace.

After reading the imperial edict, Gao Shu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Signaling Lan Fu to give some money to Gao Shu, Yun Ji's expression softened: "It's just a small gift, please accept it, sir."

When Gao Shu saw the real gold and silver, his eyes widened. He said "No, no" while taking the silver.

"Thank you, Madam." After making sure the money was put into his sleeve, Gao Shu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. His eyes rolled around, "But Madam, I didn't do anything to help you get promoted. I feel unworthy of this gift."

"Eunuch, why do you underestimate yourself?" Yun Ji said politely, "Yesterday morning, thanks to your reminder, I was able to pay my respects on time."

"That's what we should do," Gao Shu felt that Lian Zhaoyi was capable of handling things, so he extended an olive branch to her. "If you have any instructions in the future, just tell me. Although we can't say we can always serve you, we will definitely send someone to serve you."

Yun Ji didn't agree immediately. He said, "How dare I trouble you?" and then said, "You're welcome, sir."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to move over immediately," Gao Shu asked with concern, looking at the large and small packages on the ground. "How have you packed your luggage?"

Lan Fu is in charge of this matter, and Yun Ji hasn't asked about it yet.

Hearing Gao Shu talking about this, Yun Ji turned his gaze to Lan Fu and asked her with his eyes.

Lan Fu realized that she wanted to speak too. She was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Ah, your Majesty doesn't have much stuff. I packed it overnight. It's almost done. We can leave at any time."

"It's good as long as you pack it up," Gao Shu nodded and bowed, "Your Majesty doesn't like procrastination. Now that the imperial edict has arrived and you have packed your things, Your Majesty, please set off immediately."

Lin Cairen was standing at the door of the palace, peeking out timidly. She accidentally met Yun Ji's eyes and lowered her head timidly.

Retracting his gaze, Yun Ji straightened his collar and nodded to Lan Fu: "Since the eunuch said so, let's go."

To Yun Ji's surprise, Gao Shu did not leave, but walked in front of him, as if to clear the way for him.

Seeing Yun Ji's puzzled expression, Gao Shu flicked the whisk in his hand and explained to him: "I happen to be free, so I can take the queen over."

Knowing that Gao Shu followed him, Yun Ji was most likely sent by Yun Ting to mediate the fight and observe the situation on Yun Ting's behalf. Yun Ji only said, "Thank you, eunuch."

As he walked along, Yun Ji couldn't help but think that Concubine Shu disliked him, and now that he was in Concubine Shu's hands, it would be strange if she didn't give him a warning.

Although Gao Shu was following her openly and she seemed unable to do anything, she had endless tricks up her sleeve and if she was not on guard, she would most likely fall into her trap.

He didn't have the capital to confront Concubine Shu head-on, but he also couldn't just stand there and allow Concubine Shu to bully him.

Pretend to be weak and let Gao Shu intervene?

But just because he can help me once doesn't mean he can help me all the time. How should I deal with this...

Busy thinking of a countermeasure, Yun Ji ignored Gao Shu beside him.

Due to the relative silence, the atmosphere was almost silent.

Gao Shu was used to reading people's expressions. Seeing that Yun Ji had no intention of speaking, he turned around and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Your Highness, you are beautiful and are the most favored by His Majesty among all the ladies in the harem. The Emperor is always thinking of you."

Feeling that Gao Shu's words were a bit exaggerated and flattering, Yun Ji did not dare to respond outright: "I don't deserve it, the eunuch is too flattering."

Yun Ji thought Gao Shu was just flattering him, and he seemed to be listening, but in fact he was thinking about how to establish an image that was not easy to bully in front of Concubine Shu.

"My queen," Gao Shu lowered his voice and changed the subject, "There is something I don't know about, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Gao Shu's words brought Yun Ji back to his senses. Yun Ji nodded at him and asked humbly, "Please tell me, sir."

"Since the queen has given her permission, I will speak out without hesitation," Gao Shu said, lowering his head as if to say something in advance, trying to gain Yun Ji's understanding in advance, "If there are any shortcomings in my expression, please forgive me, the queen."

"I am not a petty person." Yun Ji felt that Gao Shu had done so much preparation and was about to say something disrespectful, so he became interested. "You can say whatever you want, eunuch."

"Your Majesty's appearance is excellent," Gao Shu chose his words carefully, "but your Majesty's temperament is a bit arrogant. His Majesty likes others to obey him, so Your Majesty, you still have to be submissive and don't make His Majesty unhappy like you did last night."

Gao Shu's words made Yun Ji doubt himself. He acted like a spoiled child and cried last night, but he was not obedient enough?

Could it be that Yun Ting assigned him to Concubine Shu's Yaohua Palace without any explanation, and he couldn't even say a word of disapproval?

Even though he didn't accept it in his heart, Yun Ji didn't show it on the surface.

As if reflecting on his mistakes, he thought: "So that's how it is. Your words are very reasonable. I will learn from you."

Seeing that Yun Ji could take his words to heart, Gao Shu struck while the iron was hot: "Ah, what a pity that I said this too late. If I had told you last night, you wouldn't be going to Yaohua Palace now. After all, the emperor originally wanted to assign you to..."

As he was speaking, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped them.

Gao Shu looked carefully and found that it was Empress Xian. He bowed quickly and said, "Greetings, Empress Xian."

Yun Ji followed Gao Shu and knelt to greet Empress Xian.

"Sister, please stand up. Father-in-law, please stand up too," Xiang Gaoshu raised his hand and helped Yun Ji up himself. Empress Xian smiled softly, "What a coincidence, we two sisters meet again."

After saying this, her smile deepened, and dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Just now, we sisters met in Kunning Palace. It hasn't been long since then, and we bump into each other again. It's really fate."

Having already mastered the basic skills of greeting the concubines in the harem, Yun Ji also raised the corners of his mouth: "Sister is right."

"Congratulations, sister." Empress Xian held his hand affectionately with a look of relief in her eyes. "You are now Zhaoyi, a higher level."

Feeling that the more he said on this topic, the more mistakes he would make, Yun Ji just said, "Thank you for your congratulations, sister," and then just smiled and said nothing.

As if she didn't know what was going on, Concubine Xian looked behind him and asked in a puzzled tone, "Sister, what are you going to do with so many people?"

It was common knowledge in the harem that His Majesty promoted Concubine Lian to the rank of Concubine Lian Zhaoyi and had her move into Yaohua Palace immediately.

Unsatisfied with her pretending to be ignorant, Gao Shu spoke for Yun Ji before he could speak: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered Consort Lian to move into Yaohua Palace immediately."

"Oh, I heard that my sister was going to move into Yaohua Palace, but I didn't believe it. Now I see my sister leading people there," Concubine Xian's eyes widened slightly, and she looked very surprised. "So, it's true?"

"Your Majesty has spoken, and it is irreversible." In order to accumulate strength to deal with Concubine Shu, Yun Ji put away his slightly stiff smile, "There is absolutely no reason to take back the order."

"That place is..." She wanted to say something, but when she saw Gao Shu, Concubine Xian stopped talking. She sighed and said, "It's really hard for my sister to go there."

Others may express their dissatisfaction with Concubine Shu, but as a person involved in the situation, he is absolutely not allowed to say anything.

If Concubine Shu hears this, he will be in trouble.

Not wanting to be criticized, Yun Ji said calmly, "It's not necessarily bitter. The emperor wants my sister to go and see for herself before making a final conclusion."

"My sister is so optimistic," Empress Xian sighed as she glanced at Yun Jizheng's youthful face, "If I had my sister's mentality, I would have won the emperor's favor a long time ago."

optimism?

He was just accumulating strength to give to Concubine Shu, to show his extraordinary strength.

Yun Ji lowered his eyes and said, "Sister, you are too kind."

"What a coincidence! I made some of your favorite pastries and was just about to bring them to you," Empress Xian gestured to the maid to hand over the pastry box, her eyes curved, "If you don't mind, take it over for me."

The only people Yunji brought from Zhuixia Palace were Lanfu, a maidservant and a eunuch whose names he didn't know.

At this moment, the three of them were carrying large and small bags in their hands and could not hold the box of pastries.

But there was absolutely no reason to let Yun Ji, the master, carry things by himself.

Lan Fu was wondering whether to take it forcibly, when Gao Shu suddenly reached out and took it on his own initiative.

Seeing that it was indeed Gao Shu who took it, a look of joy flashed in Empress Xian's eyes.

She leaned forward and said anxiously, "Eunuch, did His Majesty originally say that you want my sister to move to a palace closer to the Yangxin Palace?"

Before Gao Shu could say anything, Yun Ji suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yun Ting clearly said this to herself alone at the entrance of Zhuixia Palace last night: "Move to a palace closer to the Yangxin Palace."

The only people present were Yun Ting's guards and his own servants.

Why would Empress Xian know this?
