Princess Xinyang came to Princess Ning'an's side, asking sorrowfully, "Sister Ning'an, please tell me what has happened these days."
Princess Ning'an looked toward the direction of the dragon bed, "I..."
Princess Xinyang blocked her sight with her large body and said, "Sister, tell me, I'm listening."
Princess Ning'an furrowed her brows but still recounted the recent "incident," which was about an assassin attempting to assassinate His Majesty, resulting in His Majesty being struck on the head and falling into unconsciousness, and so on.
"It's getting late. I should go back to take care of Xian'er." Princess Ning'an said, rising from her seat.
"I'll walk you back." Princess Xinyang said.
"No need." Princess Ning'an declined.
However, Princess Xinyang insisted on seeing her off. In the struggle, Princess Ning'an's dress was stepped on by Princess Xinyang, causing her to stumble forward.
But Princess Xinyang, who was originally behind her, somehow flashed to her front and caught her steadily, "Are you okay, sister?"
"I'm fine." Princess Ning'an straightened up. "Thank you, sister."
Princess Xinyang apologized, "I'm sorry for stepping on your dress."
"It's okay." Princess Ning'an replied.
Princess Xinyang sighed, "I won't bother you further. Hurry back to take care of Xian'er. I'll come to see you again later when I have time."
"Alright."
After Princess Ning'an finished speaking, she turned and left. When she had crossed the threshold, she glanced back at Princess Xinyang, her eyes showing a hint of complexity and puzzlement.
Once Princess Ning'an was far away, Princess Xinyang swiftly removed her hat, revealing a face covered in rashes.
But how could this be Xinyang?
It was actually Gu Chengfeng!
"I can finally stand up straight." Gu Chengfeng straightened up, and his dress instantly became much shorter!
He was taller than Princess Xinyang, and to avoid giving himself away, he had been bending his legs the whole time. His calves and tendons were sore!
"How was it?"
The servant girl Little Yu’er turned her head and asked him.
Naturally, this servant girl wasn’t really a servant girl, but Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao was wearing a human skin mask and couldn't make big expressions, otherwise the mask would fall off.
Gu Chengfeng didn't wear one because he needed to talk and express emotions. In case a piece of his face skin accidentally fell off, it would be a terrifying scene.
The rashes on his face were painted.
"I didn't mess up, did I? Look at what I found." He proudly raised his eyebrows, extended his hand, and revealed a bronze key in his palm.
This was something he had stolen from Princess Ning'an just now.
Eunuch Qin stayed behind in the imperial palace for another important reason. He needed to investigate what Empress Dowager Zhuang had instructed him before.
When Princess Ning'an returned to the imperial palace, she went to the nunnery. Empress Dowager Zhuang initially thought she was missing her deceased mother, but later suspected that Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had left something for Princess Ning’an before her death.
Eunuch Qin searched and searched until he finally found a clue.
‘It seems to be a key.’ Eunuch Qin wrote in his letter.
Along with the letter, what was brought back to Bishui Alley by Little Nine was the imperial decree appointing Princess Ning'an as a regent.
Hence, the plan to make Princess Xinyang the regent was devised.
Xiao Heng also considered revoking the regent's position directly, but according to Princess Ning'an's character, she might just fake another decree appointing her as regent.
Therefore, they still had to occupy the regent's position.
But why Princess Xinyang? Firstly, Gu Chengfeng had seen her and heard her speak, so he could impersonate her without pressure. Secondly, she possessed the golden whip bestowed by the late Emperor; if anyone questioned her authority, Gu Chengfeng could just bring the whip to the imperial audience hall.
Gu Chengfeng looked at the key and asked, "What do you think this key is for? Whatever Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing left for her daughter must be very important. Could it be a treasury? Or maybe a treasure trove? Something rich enough to rival a kingdom!"
"Or maybe it's an armory!"
Men and women have different hobbies. While women like jewelry, men like weapons. In Gu Chengfeng's view, an armory was even more exciting than a treasury of gold and silver.
Gu Jiao said, "Guess all you want."
After all, it didn't cost anything.
Gu Chengfeng waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't guess. Let's quickly find a way to make a replica of this. I'll have to return it to her later."
"Alright." Gu Jiao took out a lump of dough wrapped in cloth from her wide sleeve, pressed the key into it to make a mold, and then handed the key back to him, "There, you can give it back to her now."
Gu Chengfeng took the key, "Is His Majesty all right?"
Gu Jiao put the lump of dough back into her wide sleeve, responding, "He suffered a severe head injury and was given some drug again. The situation isn't too good."
"Will he still wake up?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
"I don't know." Gu Jiao answered.
Gu Chengfeng sighed, "Although it's inappropriate to say so, why do I feel like His Majesty deserves it?"
The Emperor, who could hear everything but couldn't wake up: “...”
Gu Chengfeng continued his death-courting chatter, "Who made him not favor the right people and not trust the right ones, what a waste of his eyesight!"
Gu Jiao was taking the Emperor's blood pressure and felt the change in the blood pressure cuff.
Gu Chengfeng confidently declared, "In my opinion, Princess Ning'an's strike was still too light. He should be stabbed ten or eight more times, so he can't get out of bed for seven or eight years. Let's see if he learns his lesson!"
The Emperor's blood pressure skyrocketed!
Gu Jiao turned around and gave Gu Chengfeng a sympathetic look.
Gu Chengfeng grabbed a fruit, took a big bite, then crossed his legs and looked at Gu Jiao, "What are you looking at me for?"
Gu Jiao looked away, calmly handling the nearly bursting blood pressure cuff.
Then she went to Gu Chengfeng, patted his shoulder, and put the bamboo hat on him, "After finishing this, find a place to hide for a while. Also..."
She looked down at his clothes from above, "Your clothes are crooked there."
When Eunuch Wei entered the bedchamber with a pot of brewed tea, he saw Princess Xinyang bowing her head, frantically rubbing her hands against her chest.
Eunuch Wei was petrified on the spot!
Gu Chengfeng used to only mimic voices, today was the first time he dressed up as a big shot female. It was really difficult for this tough straight man.
It took Gu Chengfeng a while to make the two little buns symmetrical.
"Mmm, not bad." He said, quite satisfied.
Eunuch Wei: So, this is how you really are, Princess Xinyang!
Gu Jiao gave the Emperor an injection to alleviate his condition, but the specific effect remains to be observed.
"Let's go." Gu Jiao said to Gu Chengfeng.
"All right." Gu Chengfeng instantly switched to Princess Xinyang's voice, stood up, bent his knees, and let the beautiful skirt trail behind him.
Then he gracefully extended his hand, "Little Yu'er, assist this princess."
Without even glancing at the hand, Gu Jiao walked past him.
The ignored Gu Chengfeng: “...”
Gu Chengfeng forcibly salvaged his dignity, saying, "Little Yu'er is still so eager to pave the way for this princess. Alright, I'll let you open the door for this princess."
Gu Jiao looked at him with a dark expression, "Can you cut down on the acting?"
The two exited the Huaqing Palace.
Gu Chengfeng said, "I have to return the key to her. Wait for me outside the Bixia Palace."
Gu Jiao gave him a sidelong glance, "Is that outfit convenient?"
Indeed, it was a bit inconvenient.
Women's clothing turned out to be so troublesome, layered and bound from head to toe, he couldn't even lift his legs.
Gu Jiao reached out, "Let me go instead. You wait for me in the imperial garden."
After some thought, realizing his attire was truly hindering his movement, Gu Chengfeng handed her the key, saying, "Just be careful. Eunuch Qin said about ten servants have come from the border, claiming to have served Huangfu Xian before. Does that little cripple really need so many people to attend to him? I suspect there's something fishy going on."
"Alright." Gu Jiao said, taking the key before heading towards the Bixia Palace.Raz P.'s Thoughts
