Chapter 263 - Drug, Schemed (1/2)

The Queen was very upset. She listened to Yao Er and felt that accepting this woman would help in the future fight for the throne, but it looks like this woman was too ambitious.

It’s good to be ambitious, but the official wife position can’t be given to this woman as it has already been predetermined to be for the Left Minister’s legal second daughter.

“Your Majesty, it’s not that I want to climb up to an official wife position, but Moran Hall’s disciple cannot marry for life. Have Your Majesty ever seen Moran Hall’s disciple marry a wife?” Nan Xun said casually.

The Queen was startled, “You’re a woman, how can you be the same?”

“Your Majesty, let us not mince matters, you’re looking at my status as a Moran Hall’s disciple, but if I really marry someone, this status will be useless then. Moreover, our State Teacher might even support Fifth Prince to avoid suspicion.” Nan Xun said with a smile.

The queen’s face changed abruptly, after a long time, she finally said in embarrassment, “It’s this Empress that was thoughtless, let’s just pretend that Lady Shijiu hasn’t heard about today’s matter.”

Nan Xun gave a salute, giving a glance before leaving and found that she [Yao] was smiling at her with a vicious look.

After walking far, Nan Xun vaguely heard the Queen’s complaining voice, “Yao Er, this matter is inappropriate, fortunately this Empress didn’t facilitate it.”

Princess Yao grumbled in a flirty manner, “I know, imperial mother, it was this daughter who was thoughtless, it’s just that this daughter accidentally saw second brother staring at Gong Shijiu’s portrait in a daze, this daughter just wishes that she could help him obtain the beauty.”

Nan Xun couldn’t help frowning, she felt that entering the palace this time wasn’t so simple.

Would Princess Yao just let her go so easily?

However, despite her worry, Nan Xun encountered no accidents along the way.

Gong Moran knew about the Queen’s summoning, so he asked her.

Nan Xun told him about what happened in the palace in full detail, after hearing it, Gong Moran didn’t frown even for a little.

Nan Xun was a very interesting person, except for the initial struggle, after the big boss deliberately alienated her, she also tried her best to cooperate. When the other party asked a question, she answered and said nothing to add.

When Nan Xun turned around and left, Gong Moran’s indifferent gaze fell on her back, there was some emotion brewing inside those eyes.

His words were full of affection, but didn’t expect that she would be so heartless.

In the end, she’s still young, her temperament was still undefined too.

So be it then, it’s good like this too, this outcome was just what he had wanted.

After this time, the queen would summon Nan Xun into her palace every three to five days, each time just to sit down, sometimes Princess Yao was there and sometimes not.

After another half a month, seeing that Princess Yao was about to get married, the Imperial Eunuch, who always summoned Nan Xun came to Moran Hall again.

Nan Xun was somewhat annoyed, she didn’t bother to change her clothes and directly left with him.

The other disciples of Moran Hall weren’t surprised seeing this, but they wondered in their hearts whether the queen really likes Shijiu? Why did she call her to the palace repeatedly?

They weren’t afraid that Shijiu would reveal Moran Hall’s secrets because she hadn’t been here for a long time and hadn’t learned anything yet.

Nan Xun followed the Imperial Eunuch in front of him, as she walked, she felt that the road was wrong, so she couldn’t help but asked, “Gonggong, isn’t the Queen summoning me? Why is the road a bit unfamiliar?”

The eunuch explained, “The Queen went there to enjoy flowers, please just follow this eunuch.”

At this time, Nan Xun had already realized that something was wrong. Although it was still the same eunuch, he’d never announced that it was the queen’s decree this time.

Nan Xun had been waiting for this day, so of course she didn’t try to reveal the other party’s intention.

The Imperial Eunuch took her to a small hall. The scenery here was beautiful, but its location was remote, most people won’t come here at all, a very suitable place to kill people.

What the other party wanted definitely wasn’t her life, otherwise, she wouldn’t take such great pains and take a big round-about way like this.

“The Queen is resting in this hall, Lady, please go inside.” The eunuch said.
