The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

"I am here to rescue the queen." said the man in black, without any emotion in his voice.

"help me?"

"Yes, the prince wants to take the queen away from this cold palace."

"Crown Prince? Which crown prince?" Lan Ruyun was extremely surprised. Could it be Huan'er, whom she had always missed? Didn't Huan'er give up the Great Saint Dynasty and leave alone with his guards?

"Are you Guard Pang?" Lan Ruyun looked at the man in front of her with suspicion. Because the man was wearing a mask, she couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Lan Ruyun remembered Guard Pang's height and body shape, which did not seem to match the man in front of her.

"You are not Guard Pang, then who are you? If you don't explain it to me clearly, I won't go with you."

"I am a subordinate of the late Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is waiting for the Queen in the Nether Valley."

"Netherworld Valley?" Lan Rujun was stunned again.

She had heard about this Nether Valley many times. The late Emperor Li Kangdi discovered the rebels in the Nether Valley and eliminated part of Tian Qiquan's troops who were hiding there secretly. Later, General Xiong took over the Nether Valley and reorganized the Xiong family army there after disappearing for nearly twenty years.

Later, the Xiong family army went south to follow the late emperor, and there was no movement in the Nether Valley. Now this person said that Huan'er was there. Huan'er clearly knew that it was the bandits' hideout, so why would he go there now?

"Huan'er is going to follow his father's example and start a rebellion?"

When Lan Ruyun thought of this, she was about to walk into the house, but the man in black raised his hand and hit her on the back of her neck. Lan Ruyun fainted instantly.

Lan Ruyun did not fall to the bottom, but was directly supported by the man in black. Therefore, she was curled up at the small table in the lobby and did not notice anything unusual except hearing the conversation between the two people.

When he heard no movement in the yard for a long time and stuck his head out to check, he found that there was no one in the yard.

Xiao Zhuo thought that Madam Lan had entered the house. It was too late for him to knock on the door and ask, so he curled up and lay down again.

There is nothing to worry about. The Queen must have arranged someone outside, so the person talking to Madam Lan might be a guard in the palace.

Because Xiaozhuo didn't hear clearly what Madam Lan said to the man, he naturally didn't expect that an outsider would come in. It was not until the next day, when he heard the maid's exclamation, that he realized that everything he had assumed last night was wrong.

"Empress, Empress!" The little maid's screams in the yard early in the morning woke up Xiaozhuo. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and came out of the gatehouse. He saw Chuntao, the maid who had been taking care of Madam Lan, looking for her in panic. When she saw Xiaozhuo coming out, she immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Little table master, do you know where the queen has gone?"

"My queen isn't in the room?"

"I didn't see the queen when I woke up in the morning, and her bed was cold. She must have disappeared at night." Chuntao almost cried.

Xiao Zhuo suddenly thought of the man who talked to the queen last night. Could it be that the queen left with that man? However, although there were not many people coming to the cold palace on weekdays, it was not easy to go out. Especially last night, there were obviously more guards guarding outside. How could the queen go out easily?

"Let's look for her carefully. Maybe the queen can't sleep and is hiding somewhere in the yard." Xiao Zhuo said and went to look for her quickly.

He wanted to go to the house next to the corner gate to take a look. He had heard some noise there before. Could it be that the noise was caused by the Empress?

Chuntao had already searched the entire yard. Seeing the small table running towards the small door in the northwest corner, she followed.

The two men came to the house next to the corner gate and saw that the door was locked and it didn't look like anyone was there.

"No one has lived here, and the queen will never come here," said Chuntao.

The little table moved closer and peeked through the crack in the door. He didn't see anyone inside and couldn't help but frown. "This yard is so small. If the queen isn't somewhere else, where else would she go?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't be so anxious," said Chuntao.

"How about we tell the Queen?"

"The Queen won't care about the affairs of the cold palace." Chun Tao said helplessly, "Since we moved here with the Queen, have you seen anyone from the Queen's palace come to see the Queen? They wish that the Queen and I would die sooner so that they can turn a blind eye to us. If they knew that the Queen was gone, they wouldn't be happy."

Xiao Zhuozi signaled Chuntao to stop talking nonsense, "The Queen doesn't care about the Queen because of Prince Duan's matter. If it weren't for Prince Duan, the late Emperor wouldn't have..."

Chuntao quickly signaled to Xiaozhuo to stop talking because he heard some noise outside the small corner door.

The two of them quietly moved to the small corner door and listened attentively to the noise outside.

"Didn't they say there was something unusual in the Widow's Hall? How come we didn't find anything after guarding it all night last night?" A man's voice came from outside.

"How can it be so easy for us to find them? Keep a close eye on them. If there are any restless people inside, they will reveal their true colors sooner or later."

Chuntao looked at the small table with a puzzled look on her face.

When did something unusual happen in their cold palace? How come she didn't know?

"They said they found nothing unusual, so the queen must not have left the yard last night." Chuntao whispered to Xiaozhuo, "Let's go look for her again. Where would the queen be?" Chuntao tiptoed out of the corner door and walked towards the main hall where Madam Lan lived.

Xiao Zhuo hesitated and wanted to listen to the conversation between the two guards outside, but after crouching against the door and listening for a long time, he heard no more talking outside, so he left the corner gate with regret and went to the yard.

At the same time, next to the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, Situ Changqing was reporting to Jixiang.

"We have arranged for Lady Lan to stay at General Xiong's home outside the palace. Sister Zaohua will take good care of her."

"Has anyone seen it?"

"No, when we took people away, the man in black had already left."

"Okay, tell Sister Zaohua not to let anyone come into contact with Madam Lan. Also, have you figured out the whereabouts of the man in black?"

Situ Changqing nodded, "It's Eunuch Rong beside Eunuch Guo."

Jixiang was startled, "Is it him?!"

"Our people will keep a close eye on him in the next two days."

Jixiang thought for a moment, "Is Eunuch Guo involved in this?"

"Our people are already keeping an eye on him."

"Okay, let's do everything as usual. Don't let them find out." Jixiang pulled off a few leaves and threw them into the lotus pond. When the fish in the pond saw them, they swarmed forward to grab the food.

Not far away, Eunuch Guo and a group of eunuchs were waiting, but Eunuch Rong was not among them.

After Jixiang was crowned as the queen and moved into Kunning Palace, she had all the eunuchs, maids and old women in the palace under her wing. Eunuch Rong was originally the head eunuch in Madam Lan's palace. Because Madam Lan was imprisoned in the cold palace, he asked Eunuch Guo to come and obey his orders.

Because of his status, although Eunuch Guo did not entrust him with important tasks, he did not assign him to do dirty and tiring work. Instead, he arranged for him to be responsible for the flowers, plants and trees in the palace, which was considered a great honor for him.

However, it was precisely because of this duty that he was able to move around the palace and gave him the opportunity to come into contact with the Widow's Palace.

That's why he was able to bring Concubine Lan out of the Widow's Palace last night and hide her in the carriage carrying the night fragrance out of the palace.

However, the Imperial Guards intercepted her quietly after he had made all the arrangements and left, so now Concubine Lan is no longer in the small courtyard arranged by Eunuch Rong, but has been taken to Zaohua's house by Situ Changqing.

"Let's thoroughly investigate the Widow's Hall." Jixiang said suddenly.

Situ Changqing was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Yes, I will dig the Widow's Hall three feet deep!"
