Nine-Tailed Fox said meaningfully,"He is young, but his status is noble." The Phoenix Cry on Qishan, the new Holy Lord of Western Zhou, Yin Jiao would definitely go to him. If we don't let the Crown Prince stay in Zhaoge, he will become our mortal enemy.”
Liu Pipa clapped her hands and said,"Sister has become smarter. She is experienced and has strategies." It was really like the company of vermilion was red, the company of ink was black, the palace was deep, and the people were scheming against each other. The bitterness, spiciness, sweetness, and sourness in the palace were innumerable, but it was not unbearable. The so-called 'seeing through the mortal world and not lingering' was just a saying, deceiving others and others.”
Nine-Tailed Fox replied," My younger sister has also become more sophisticated. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."”
As for Xinqing Palace, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were temporarily hiding there. Noble Consort Yang had a good relationship with Queen Jiang and Noble Consort Huang. Before Daji entered the palace, she was favored by King Zhou because of her beauty. Since Concubine Su entered the palace, King Zhou rarely came. Seeing Daji's cruelty and the Queen in trouble, there was nothing they could do. He was determined to protect the two princes with his life.
Chao Tian and Chao Lei had also come to search for her, but she had ordered them to retreat. After discussing the future with Yin Jiao, Concubine Yang said helplessly,""His Highness has committed a grave offense this time. I'm afraid that Xinqing Palace is not a place to stay for long. Chenqie suggests that you go to the Nine Halls to look for a few ministers who are loyal to the Queen. Even if your father wants to make things difficult for your brothers, they will protect you.”
Yin Jiao thanked her, and Concubine Yang said,"Hide in the palace tonight. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."”
At night, he slept on the warm bed in Xinqing Palace. Yin Hongnian was still young, and he missed his mother as he sobbed and slowly fell asleep. Yin Jiao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see his mother's tragic image. Her face was covered in blood, her arms were bald, and her eyes were wide open in anger. She was crying her heart out. Yin Jiao woke up with a start. He sat on the bed and gritted his teeth in hatred. Jiang Huan was killed, but he was not the culprit. The real murderer was Su Daji. She hid a knife behind her smile and was a beast in disguise. If she did not take revenge, she would not have left Zhaoge so easily and let this witch get away with her crimes.
Yin Jiao was still young and impetuous. He rarely considered the consequences of his actions. As the Crown Prince, everything went smoothly. When the officials in the court saw him address him as His Highness, they were very respectful. Leng Ding couldn't accept this for a while. Relying on his martial arts skills, he was eager to try and sneak into Longevity Immortal Palace to assassinate Su Daji in the dead of night.
It was midnight after the third watch, and the entire palace fell into darkness. Even the lights in Longevity Immortal Palace were dim and silent. Other than the patrolling guards, no one else moved. Yin Jiao quietly got up, changed into his night clothes, and hid the sword in his arms. Seeing that his brother Yin Hong was still sleeping, he sighed softly and said,""Brother, my mother died too tragically. As an elder brother, if I don't take revenge, I will live in vain. If anything happens to me, leave Zhaoge and run for your life.”
With that, she left the palace with tears in her eyes and hurried away to avoid the guards. He was familiar with the palace, so he came to Longevity Immortal Palace effortlessly. Seeing that there was no one around, he climbed over the wall and went straight to the bedroom.
Su Daji already knew the news of Empress Jiang's sudden death. She was extremely sad and blamed herself. In fact, the Queen's death was inevitable. Nine-Tailed Fox wanted to eliminate dissidents, and Empress Jiang's behavior had already crossed its bottom line. However, she added fuel to the fire and helped the evil to do evil, speeding up the process of her death.
Su Daji tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, sighing. Teng Wei advised her," Master, isn't this all your fault? That demon fox doesn't want you to die, but it threatened your family. They are vicious and can do anything." Niangniang, don't blame yourself too much. This servant is clear about the sin in my heart. Don't make my heart ache.”
Su Daji said," I have sinned greatly. If I continue to live like this, I will harm even more people. Thinking about how mentally and physically exhausted I am and how many nightmares I have, what should I do?"”
Teng Wei said,"The evil fox is not your fault. Good and evil will be rewarded in the world. They won't be rampant for long."”
As he was speaking, the curtain shook and a figure suddenly appeared. He was wearing black clothes and his face was covered with a black scarf. His eyes were bright and angry like two rockets that were about to shoot out. He stared at Daji with bright eyes.
Teng Wei was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. Su Daji was very calm, looking at the person coldly and asking,""Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Yin Jiao pulled off the black cloth on his face and pulled out his sword. He pointed it at her and said,"Doesn't the demoness recognize me?"
Su Daji really did not know Yin Jiao. King Zhou had a hidden mistress, especially Su Daji. She rarely showed her face to others. Other than a few close ministers, the princes and princesses had basically never had face-to-face contact with her. Yin Jiao had seen Su Daji before. It was the first time she had entered Zhaoge. She had also seen her from afar, so Daji could not recognize so many people. Hence, he shook his head.
Yin Jiao felt strange. They had fought in the palace during the day, and he had almost killed her. In the blink of an eye, he didn't recognize her anymore, so he shouted,"Yao Ji, why are you pretending to be stupid? I am Yin Jiao, and the Queen is my biological mother.”
Su Daji suddenly realized that the Crown Prince was here. Needless to say, he was here to seek revenge. Even a person with a heart of stone couldn't bear to see his mother die tragically. If he didn't personally kill his enemy, how could he let it go?
Ah, Teng Wei just said that good and evil in the world will be rewarded, so soon. Daji's expression did not change as she calmly replied,""I know. The queen died too tragically. Every debt has its perpetrator, so the crown prince came to find me. Forget it, a life for a life, a debt for a debt, what are you waiting for?”
Yin Jiao was a little stunned. He had thought that it would not be so easy to assassinate Daji. She would definitely have layers of defenses and was already prepared to fight to the death. Who would have thought that it would be so simple? There was only her and the palace maid in the bedroom, no one else. Moreover, the Su Daji in front of him had changed her arrogant and cold demeanor. Her eyes were not as crafty and strange as those in the palace. They were filled with tears as if she had just cried.
Yin Jiao hesitated. What surprised him even more was Su Daji's pure beauty. It was the first time he was so close to her. She was wrapped in a light pink dress and draped in a white gauze, revealing her beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbone. Her waist was slender and her limbs were long. She had a fairy-like temperament. Her face without a trace of makeup, her nose was like a beam, her lips were like red paint, her skin was like congealed fat, she was extremely beautiful.
There was a layer of blood missing from his skin, making him appear abnormally pale. There was sadness between his brows, and his eyes were dull without a trace of light. There was no blood on his lips.
Yin Jiao was confused. This did not seem to be the aggressive Su Daji in the palace, but a lonely and helpless tearful beauty. She was immersed in a certain period of time. The silence and heartache were mixed together. She watched her tears go missing, and her heart was in pain. It was broken, but she could not tell anyone.
Moreover, she seemed to have been prepared for this. She did not resist at all and faced death calmly.
