Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Qing Fei Succeeds
"Yes."
The woman did not dare to resist, and she quickly scurried over and began to dress up Baihan as the concubine.
...
"Who goes there?"
As Baihan, fully adorned, approached Nan Shi’s palace, the guards immediately stopped her.
"How dare you!" Nanny Liu shouted angrily.
Hearing the commotion, Eunuch Qinglin emerged with a lantern in hand.
Because it had been dark, everyone had been unable to see Baihan’s appearance clearly.
Now, with the lantern, they could clearly see her face.
"Empress, Your Majesty?"
Qinglin’s mind had not yet caught up, and his body almost knelt down.
But he suddenly remembered...
The Empress had passed away many years ago.
This, could this person be...
"Eunuch Qinglin, are your eyes failing you? Look closely, who am I!" the concubine demanded sternly.
Seeing Qinglin’s reaction, she knew her makeup had had its desired effect.
She had looked in the mirror before coming here.
She had almost smashed the mirror.
Her current appearance bore an eight parts resemblance to that dead wretch.
"Baihan, Your Grace?"
Qinglin was stunned for a moment, and he finally realized.
Having been in this palace for decades, he knew each concubine very well.
So now, hearing Baihan’s voice, he could still recognize it.
"Hmm. Has His Majesty retired to bed? I have some matters to report to him," Baihan declared haughtily.
Qinglin’s mind became clear.
At this time, for Baihan to assume the appearance of the Empress and seek an audience with His Majesty was as clear as day to everyone!
"Baihan, Your Grace, His Majesty has already retired. If you wish to report a matter, please come again tomorrow," Qinglin said, standing up straight and speaking firmly.
Upon hearing Qinglin’s words, Baihan’s expression turned slightly annoyed.
This dog servant, having been by the Emperor’s side for a long time, must have forgotten that he too is but a dog and dared to speak to her in such a tone.
"The matter I wish to report is urgent, and waiting until tomorrow would be too late. I must see His Majesty today," Baihan insisted, then tried to force her way inside.
"Baihan, Your Grace, if you insist on this, then I will not be courteous," Qinglin said sharply.
Soon, all the nearby guards appeared, and even the Shadow Guard was alerted.
"Your Grace, rest assured, you will definitely see His Majesty today," Nanny Liu reassured her, patting her hand.
Soon, the little eunuchs they had brought along began to attack the guards.
These little eunuchs, all of them are experts?
Qinglin’s expression changed dramatically.
What exactly is Baihan trying to do?
The scene was utterly chaotic, and in an unguarded moment, Baihan actually made it to the door.
She pushed the door open and entered.
Inside, Nan Shi was drowning his sorrows in drink.
Hearing the noise, he slowly looked up.
Under the faint candlelight, he saw Baihan’s face.
With a "bang," the wine cup fell from his hand.
"Mingmeng," he murmured.
Mingmeng was the Empress’s nickname.
It was the name he called countless times in his dreams.
"You’ve finally come back to me, you’ve finally come back to me."
Nan Shi stumbled over, his eyes red and his voice trembling.
Seeing him lose his composure like this for the first time, the Empress felt extreme jealousy.
However, she couldn’t show it now. She pretended to be shy and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, your concubine has come back to find you."
"Your Majesty, she is not the Empress, she..."
Qinglin finally squeezed in, intending to drag the Empress out.
But at this moment, the Empress pretended to have twisted her ankle and then fell into Nan Shi’s arms.
She covered her face with a handkerchief and spoke pitifully, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Qinglin wants to harm your concubine. Please save me quickly."
By this time, Nan Shi was no longer in control of his senses.
Yet, he faintly sensed that something was amiss.
Mingmeng would never refer to herself as "your concubine" in front of him.
She would not act coquettishly like this either.
But that face, so similar to hers, caught his eye and made him lose his senses once again.
It was Mingmeng. Mingmeng had come back for him.
"Your Majesty, she really isn’t the Empress."
Qinglin was desperate. He prepared to drag the Empress out again.
But at this moment, a torrential killing intent flashed in Nan Shi’s eyes.
Anyone who tried to take Mingmeng from him deserved to die.
He raised his hand and struck Qinglin.
"Pff," Qinglin spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown outside.
When he managed to get up again, he saw that the Emperor had already picked up the Empress and closed the door.
The Empress seemed to have left him with a provocative look.
Your Majesty, are you confused?
Are you confused?
Qinglin looked up, his expression devastated.
"Empress, this servant is deeply remorseful towards you," he choked out.
He felt he deserved to die for not being able to stop the Empress.
After all, the Emperor had already favored so many concubines; now favoring the Empress wouldn’t be questioned by anyone.
But alas, the Empress had impersonated the Empress!
The Empress...
Thinking of the Empress who had hidden her own desires deep in the palace for many years, who harbored the world in her heart and maintained her grace and virtue, Qinglin thought if she were still alive, seeing the Emperor mistaking her for another would undoubtedly be a great disappointment to her.
For the first time, he thought the Empress’s passing was a good thing.
The Empress was once known as the most beautiful woman in the world, bright and flamboyant. However, for the Emperor, she lived like a puppet, free of jealousy and grievances.
"Princess, yes, this servant will go to the Princess Residence to seek justice for you," he said.
Qinglin wiped his tears and then stumbled out.
The Empress had once saved his life; she was the most respected person in his life.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want the Emperor to disgrace her like this.
...
The study in the Princess Residence was brightly lit at that moment.
Chu Baihan had gathered all her trusted subordinates in the military to analyze the situation in Tongzhou.
"What this princess discusses today must not be leaked, understood?"
"We, your servants, will keep it a secret."
All present immediately knelt down.
"Good, all of you go and prepare. In four hours, fifty thousand troops will follow this princess to Tongzhou," Chu Baihan ordered solemnly.
"Princess, such a significant move of deploying troops, shouldn’t we get the Emperor’s approval first?" one Deputy General couldn’t help expressing his thoughts.
Chu Baihan’s expression turned icy, "If we wait for father to decide, Tongzhou will have fallen. This matter can still be decided by the Crown Prince and me."
"Yes, Princess."
"Princess, there is another matter to report. Just now, Lord Liu informed us that the tenth Prince plans to join us on the battlefield."
Then another voice spoke.
"The tenth Prince? What can he do on the battlefield?" Chu Baihan’s face grew cold once more.
