Ch 690: Be On Guard

Han Luoxue was also clueless. She had heard many sounds, but none of them were useful to her.

“This Princess sounds quite naive!”

Han Luoxue scoffed, but she knew that overly naive Princesses didn’t live long.

Either the Princess was concealing herself very well, or she knew that someone might be watching her and was deliberately acting that way.

But how does she plan to deal with Ouyang Zhen?

Han Luoxue still felt a little uneasy, although she had already given Chen Gege some pills.

Some things are better safe than sorry.

“Nightingale!” Han Luoxue never fought an unprepared battle, nor would she knowingly face a looming risk and still stubbornly charge forward.

Nightingale quickly came out: “Madam!”

“Who among your Shadow Guards has the best martial arts skills?”

Nightingale was startled. Han Luoxue rarely paid attention to such matters. Suddenly mentioning the Shadow Guards, a strange feeling flashed through her heart, but she still respectfully said, “Reporting to Madam, it’s Ye Mo!”

Han Luoxue nodded: “Is he currently by the Emperor’s side?”

Nightingale replied: “Yes, Madam!”

“Have him come here. I have something to instruct him.”

Although she had already given Ouyang Zhen the pills, sometimes the most feared thing is a deliberate scheme against an unsuspecting person, or a situation where one is powerless.

Han Luoxue decided to prepare further. She didn’t want to do anything without a solid grasp of the situation.

Ye Mo arrived quickly. Han Luoxue dismissed everyone: “You know about my relationship with the Emperor, but the Princess is about to enter the Palace. That Princess has a distinctive body fragrance, which sounds unusual. I suspect she has some special means!”

Han Luoxue’s voice was cold. Seeing that the man didn’t refute her, she continued: “Among the Shadow Guards, your martial arts are the highest, and I trust you the most. Please take these two. If you discover anything amiss with the Emperor, immediately administer these to him, and quickly bring him to me!”

“Subordinate obeys!” Ye Mo was concise; he respectfully received the pills.

“By the way, does the Emperor have any arrangements? Regarding the Princess?”

Han Luoxue was curious.

Logically, since she had given such obvious warnings, Ouyang Zhen should have made some arrangements.

But Ye Mo shook his head: “The Emperor has been quite busy recently and hasn’t made any deliberate arrangements!”

“Madam, in my opinion, the Emperor doesn’t care about the Princess at all!”

Hearing this, Han Luoxue smiled in satisfaction.

Since Ouyang Zhen was too lazy to deal with it, she would handle it herself.

“Then you must carefully guard the Emperor. If there are any abnormalities, bring the Emperor out immediately!”

Han Luoxue couldn’t help but give another instruction.

……

“Madam Han, I’ve long admired your reputation!”

Looking at the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared before her, although she wore a hat, her graceful figure still sparked imagination.

Yun Niang saw the woman who had come uninvited, and a hint of doubt flashed across her face: “Who are you?”

Since the victory banquet where Han Luoxue had brought her out, many Madams and Misses had come to visit.

Yun Niang had calmly received them, but this affected her embroidery speed.

She wanted to stop coming to the shop. After all, what she wanted was not socializing, but to perfect her embroidery skills.

“May I sit down somewhere?” The woman’s voice was soft, with a captivating charm.

“I’m sorry, Miss, I’m quite busy and can’t go out.”

“I am Yao Xiang!”

The woman suddenly said. Yun Niang was stunned, then suddenly remembered something.

“You are…”

Knowing that this woman had come to see her for a reason, Yun Niang nodded to her: “Miss, I am really not free to go out right now. If you don’t mind, you can come in with me!”

There was a rest room inside, and it was currently empty.

Princess Yao Xiang nodded, not insisting on going outside.

After entering the room, Yun Niang closed the door, and her voice became colder: “Speak. What do you want?”

She didn’t even offer tea. This woman was her daughter’s rival in love; in her opinion, there was no need to be friendly.

“Madam Han, I don’t want this political marriage either!”

Princess Yao Xiang sighed. She removed her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Yun Niang only glanced at her, but when she saw her eyes, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

These eyes were strange, different from those of ordinary people!

“Hehe, Miss, isn’t that a laughable statement?” Yun Niang quickly regained her composure. She sneered: “Whether you want this political marriage or not, it’s already happened!”

Princess Yao Xiang sighed: “Madam Han, I know you don’t like me, but I really did come to ask for a favor. I want to see the Empress, alone.”

Yun Niang was puzzled, her lips curling slightly: “Miss, you jest. How could I possibly arrange a meeting with the Empress?”

This woman had come to steal her son-in-law! How could she possibly help her meet her daughter? Besides, she had heard that this Princess was not simple, and that she had a distinctive body fragrance. Could it be that she was trying to sabotage her daughter?

“Madam, I am sincere. I really want to meet the Empress alone. I have something I want to tell her!”

Princess Yao Xiang’s expression was sincere. She sighed softly: “All along the way, I’ve heard many legends about the Emperor and the Empress, and I admire their relationship. If possible, I don’t want to be the one to destroy their relationship!”

Yun Niang scoffed: “But you already are!”

The Princess’s expression changed, her face turning even paler: “But I, I really didn’t mean to!”

“Madam, please help me. Let me meet the Empress, please? I swear to you, she will absolutely not regret seeing me!”

Yun Niang looked deeply at the Princess, watching her sincere and earnest expression, momentarily unable to make up her mind.

Especially the Princess’s words just now had moved her deeply.

Could it be that she really didn’t want to destroy her daughter and son-in-law’s relationship? But the Princess entering the palace was an immutable fact. Was there any room for change?

Although she was a village woman, she wasn’t the completely naive woman she once was. She knew that the Princess entering the palace was a small matter; opening the gates of the palace was the important matter.

If the Princess could be prevented from entering the palace… then…

“I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee that the Empress will want to see you!”

Yun Niang sighed, and the Princess thanked her profusely before leaving.

“She really is…”

Yun Niang suddenly didn’t know how to evaluate this Princess. She had inexplicably believed her words.

Could this Princess really be as sinister as the rumors say?

Should she tell her daughter? What if her daughter was also tricked?

Although Yun Niang was conflicted, she still went to the palace.

Han Luoxue was a little unaccustomed to seeing her mother suddenly in the palace.

Yun Niang rarely came to the palace on her own initiative. Most of the time, she was the one going out to see her.

“Mother, did something happen outside?” Han Luoxue was a little worried.
