Xi Zi was quick-witted; without asking any questions, she simply turned and left.
Then, Jiang Yun turned and went back into the house, only to find that the reincarnated man surnamed Han was already ashen-faced. He stared blankly at Jiang Yun and pleaded, "Big Brother, please, I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything—"
The reincarnator surnamed Han knew that Jiang Yun intended to sprinkle white sugar into his wound and then put ants in it.
He had heard of this vicious way of tormenting people and knew what it felt like to be so twisted. He had no desire to experience it, so he told Jiang Yun everything he knew.
Sure enough, everything had the shadow of Chu Xuan and Zheng Zha in it, and Chu Xuan, like Jiang Yun, had also bought an identity.
Moreover, he had long known that Jiang Yun was the eldest prince, but the difference in strength made him hide and conceal everything.
Even if Jiang Yun could be killed, Zheng Zha would naturally be able to as well. However, Zheng Zha didn't have the money to buy an identity, so he became Chu Xuan's top lieutenant.
Chu Xuan's current identity is none other than the Fourteenth Prince.
However, let's leave this matter to the Empress Dowager for now; Jiang Yun has thought of a specific method.
Jiang Yun wanted to see how Chu Xuan would handle the situation. If Chu Xuan could survive this ordeal, Jiang Yun would allow him to live a little longer.
Jiang Yun glanced at Lin Hai and the reincarnator surnamed Han in his hand, then knocked them unconscious with a chop to the neck. He then strode towards the Empress Dowager's inner chamber.
"Oh dear, Your Highness, you can't go in. The Empress Dowager has already retired for the night and has given the order that no one should be seen."
Seeing Jiang Yun rushing into the Empress Dowager's inner chamber, the eunuch Gao, the chief steward of Cining Palace on night duty, hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Go tell the Empress Dowager that Yonghuang has urgent business to attend to," Jiang Yun ordered arrogantly.
"This..." Eunuch Gao was somewhat embarrassed, on the one hand, he dared not disobey the Empress Dowager's wishes.
On the other hand, he dared not offend Jiang Yun. Everyone knew that Jiang Yun was the Empress Dowager's newly appointed confidant, who was extremely favored by the Empress Dowager and had a promising future.
"What's all this nonsense? Just report it when I tell you to, stop talking!" Jiang Yun snapped unhappily. He was originally a eunuch like Eunuch Gao, who wielded immense power in the inner palace.
He was the very person whom the princes and ministers tried their best to curry favor with, and at this time the Empress Dowager had already become Jiang Yun's woman, so he naturally didn't care about a powerful eunuch by the Empress Dowager's side.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although he was somewhat displeased with Jiang Yun's attitude towards him, Eunuch Gao did not dare to show the slightest displeasure on his face. He bowed slightly and backed into the Empress Dowager's inner room.
Before long, Eunuch Gao led a group of palace maids out again. The maids looked at Jiang Yun with eager obsequiousness.
Although they had some doubts in their hearts about why Jiang Yun always met with the Empress Dowager at night and stayed all night, they were used to the deep palace.
You should know what you need to know, and pretend you didn't see what you saw; otherwise, you'll go to the underworld forever with doubts.
Seeing the palace maids leave and stand guard in the outer room, Jiang Yun walked through the corridor connecting the inner and outer rooms and pushed open the door to enter the inner room.
