After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 157 Murder ([-])

In the Sunset Cloud Palace, there was a woman who felt sorry for herself in the mirror, and there was a hidden edge between her docile eyebrows and eyes.

The scald on the wrist gradually healed, even though the beauty ointment sent to Luoxia Palace by Shen's family was used, but the imperial doctor said that there may still be scars.

After Shen Mengzhi's death, she indeed received unprecedented attention from the Shen family.

But all of this was caused by her.Shen Mengzhi wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Wang Miaoyan to vent her anger, how could she not know?

But at that time, Shen Mengzhi's personal maid personally put on the pearl necklace bestowed on her by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and allowed Wang Miaoyan and others to hide from the rain under the corridor.

By following the clues, it was not difficult for her to guess the purpose of the pearl necklace.

Even if they broke the pearl necklace ahead of time, it might not just break when passing by the corridor. I just pushed the boat with the current and pulled it a little harder to make the pearl necklace break just right.

When the hot oil in Wang Miaoyan's hand rushed towards her, she had enough time to avoid it, but she couldn't, she had to gamble, and she couldn't dodge until the last moment.

Obviously she won the bet, Wang Miaoyan overturned the basin with his hands, changing the direction of the oil spill.

In order to avoid suspicion, she pretended to accidentally burn her arm. In this way, she became a victim of being used. In addition, she was always timid and cowardly, and she was often bullied by Shen Mengzhi, so no one would suspect her.

After Shen Mengzhi's death, she took advantage of the situation to win people's hearts and made the entire Sunset Palace loyal to her, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would definitely support her to climb up.

These days, she has been waiting for His Royal Highness the Princess to be summoned, but there has been no movement at Fengyang Palace, and she seems to have forgotten that there is a daughter from the Shen family in the palace.

Logically speaking, news from Fengyang Palace should have come a long time ago.

She was puzzled.

Zichen Palace.

Xiao Yunzhe discussed important matters with the ministers, and no one should disturb them.

Seeing that Wang Miaoyan had gone out with Wang Momo for a long time, the little cook in the imperial dining room went to find Old Chef Hao before he came back.

Old Chef Hao narrowed his wrinkled eyes slightly, and sent a young eunuch with quick legs to Weiyang Palace, originally to find His Majesty, and His Majesty is usually in Weiyang Palace at this time.

But when he arrived at Weiyang Palace, he found out that His Majesty was discussing important matters with the court ministers in Zichen Palace.

He was about to run away, but was stopped by Su Wunian.

"Little Ten, what are you doing in Weiyang Palace?"

Su Wunian inexplicably received a note just now, which read: Wang Miaoyan was in danger in the cold palace.

Everyone in the palace knew that Wang Miaoyan was close to her, but if Wang Miaoyan was really in danger, the person behind the message must have informed His Majesty immediately. After all, the person in the palace who cares most about Wang Miaoyan is His Majesty.

Tell His Majesty, not only can he make meritorious service in front of His Majesty, but also gain Wang Miaoyan's favor. After Wang Miaoyan is favored, he will have a shortcut to climb up.

But this person did not disclose his identity, which meant that he did not want to make meritorious service in front of His Majesty, nor did he want to win Wang Miaoyan's favor.There are two possibilities, one is that this person's identity cannot be revealed, and the other is that this note is a trap to lure him into the game.

Su Wunian met Xiao Shizi in the imperial dining room. He was a very clever little eunuch. She was going to the imperial dining room to check on Wang Miaoyan's situation, but she didn't expect to meet Xiao Shizi who looked flustered.

"It's Sister Miaoyan. She went out with Mother Wang and hasn't come back for a long time."

"Old Chef Hao was worried about Sister Miaoyan's safety, so he ordered me to come to Weiyang Palace to report to His Majesty."

"But who knows that His Majesty is still in the Zichen Palace when I came here, I have to rush there immediately! Otherwise, it will be too late, and I'm afraid something will happen." Xiao Shizi left in a hurry.

It seems that things are more inclined to the second possibility.

A gleam of cold light flashed across Su Wunian's bright eyes, as if she had settled down into a galaxy. The other party specifically picked Zhe'er to discuss important matters with the ministers of the court and China, which showed that she knew Zhe'er's itinerary well.

This person not only wanted to deal with Wang Miaoyan, but also wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of himself.

Yu Wenhuang happened to be not in the palace, so he had no choice but to meet that person himself for a while.

Standing alone outside the door of the Leng Palace, looking up at the plaque covered with cobwebs that said "Leng Palace", a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The door was ajar, and there were traces of being pushed open, footprints were printed in thick dust under the feet, and there were two strings of drag marks.

He was dragged here after being knocked out.

Slowly pushing the door open, Su Wunian walked in cautiously, looked around, but didn't notice anyone's presence.

Following the footprints and drag marks, Su Wunian walked into the main hall of the Leng Palace, which had been abandoned for a long time, and it was a desolate and dilapidated scene.

Pushing open the gate of the main hall, I saw a maid lying on the ground.

Looking at the figure, it is very similar to Wang Miaoyan.

Su Wunian didn't feel the presence of a third person in the room, so she rushed forward in two steps in three steps, and turned over the maid who was on the ground, and it turned out to be Wang Miaoyan.

"Cousin?" She shook Wang Miaoyan's shoulder.

Still unable to wake up, Su Wunian remembered that the sachet she carried with her had dream-awakening grass, which had the effect of refreshing the mind.

Put it under her nose and give her a light sniff. After a while, Wang Miaoyan raised his eyelids slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was Su Wunian's face, "Cousin?"

"Why are you here?"

Only then did she see the unfamiliar environment around her, "Where is this? Why are we here?"

"what happened?"

"Hiss—" She reached out and touched the back of her head, "It hurts~"

Only then did she recall that she was following Nanny Wang to meet His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who knew the wrong way, she realized it was a trap, and wanted to run away, but was knocked out from behind by Nanny Wang.

"It's Mother Wang." Wang Miaoyan frowned, "But I have no grievances with her, why did she knock me out?"

"Someone is behind her."

"Who would want to kill me?"

"Whoever you block the way may be behind the scenes." Su Wunian said coldly.

"What about you? Why are you here again? Where's Wang Momo?"

"I received an anonymous note in Weiyang Palace, which said that you were in danger in the cold palace. When I came to look for you, I found you unconscious here."

"When I came, I didn't see Mother Wang either."

"I guess, the other party not only wants to deal with you, but also wants to solve it with me."

"Apart from your neck pain, do you have any other discomfort?"

Wang Miaoyan shook his head.

Su Wunian helped Wang Miaoyan up, and looked around with cold eyes, "Since we are both here, let's do it!"

Outside the cold palace, Wang Momo pursed her lips triumphantly, and pulled the mechanism designed in advance with her hand.

There were several heavy bags hanging from the Lenggong beam, and as Mammy Wang pulled hard, the bags fell to the ground one after another.

"Boom..." A few times, the thick dust on the ground was thrown up.

"Cough~" Wang Miaoyan was choked by the dust, and kept coughing.

There seemed to be some living thing in the heavy bag, wriggling constantly.

Su Wunian covered her mouth and nose with her hands, but she has always had excellent hearing, and could clearly hear the "hissing" sound coming from the sack.

"Get out of here."

She pulled Wang Miaoyan's wrist and ran towards the door of Lenggong, but the door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened no matter what.
