C519 The unusual palace (1/2)

The red sun was still hanging on the horizon, teetering on the verge of collapse. However, someone from the Yolk Sect had already sent him news: Everything in the palace was normal.

Baili Jinxiu's heart was still unable to calm down. She had a premonition that this palace was definitely not ordinary. But now, she couldn't find any news, causing her to feel even more uneasy.

She looked at the sky and saw that it was about ten years old. She hesitated for a moment before instructing the butler to prepare the sedan. If she did not go and see for herself, she would always feel uneasy.

When he arrived outside the palace, the sky was already dark. Baili Jinxiu thought for a moment and then handed over the Tzu Ning Palace's signboard.

In the palace, the only people she knew were the Emperor, the abandoned empress, and the empress dowager. Given the Emperor's current state, if he were to look for him now, he would undoubtedly be courting death.

Since the empress had already been abandoned, there was no way she could obtain any useful information. Moreover, even if the empress knew about her relationship with the empress, she wouldn't tell her anything.

Thus, after some thought, the only person who could go and look for her was the empress dowager.

However, thinking about it was one thing, doing it was another. Baili Jinxiu stood at the entrance of the Ci Ning Palace, his footsteps hesitating.

Last time, the empress dowager had loathed himself because of the empress dowager's imperial concubine. If he went in now, it would be difficult to protect himself from being blown out. But thinking about how abnormal the palace was, Baili Jinxiu gritted his teeth, and walked in.

The palace maid brought Baili Jinxiu all the way to a side hall of the Tzu Ning Palace. Inside the hall, there was a table full of sumptuous food that exuded a fragrant aroma.

The empress dowager sat at the head of the table, a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were lifeless from being blinded, but it still made people feel that it was very peaceful.

Baili Jinxiu secretly creased his brows, and politely bowed. ”Chenqie will attend the empress dowager's empress dowager.”

The empress dowager's blind eyes turned towards Baili Jinxiu's direction, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She waved in Baili Jinxiu's direction, completely unlike a blind person.

Baili Jinxiu was startled, what was the empress dowager trying to do?

The empress dowager would mock and ridicule her, or turn a blind eye to her, or throw him out. This was the result of Baili Jinxiu thinking about it for a long time while he was outside the door.

But now, the empress dowager had invited him over like a common grandmother, making Baili Jinxiu's mouth twitch. It was extremely abnormal!

But she walked over anyway.

”Why are you so distant? You are the wangfei of Xiao Xuan, you should call me grandma.” Just as Baili Jinxiu sat down, he heard the empress dowager's words, and he felt goosebumps all over the ground.

Although things were extremely urgent, it wasn't a bad thing for the empress dowager to be nice to her. This way, she could more easily understand what had happened at the palace. Thinking of this, Baili Jinxiu sweetly called his grandmother.

Her Majesty was obviously very satisfied, and her smile was very amiable.

Baili Jinxiu saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched, and was a little doubtful: ”Did the royal grandmother not have her meal yet?”

It had taken him a while to get here from the Prince An Palace, so it was already nearing the ninetieth hour, and he would normally eat at around nineties in the palace. Therefore, Baili Jinxiu was a little puzzled.

The palace maid at the side did not wait for the empress dowager's reply and quickly replied, ”At the end of the day, the palace maid came to report that the Princess An had entered the palace. The empress dowager guessed that the Princess An had not eaten anything when he entered the palace, and had been waiting hungrily for the Princess An.”

The palace maid's words carried a trace of anger. The empress dowager's health was not good in the first place, so the imperial physician had repeatedly reminded her to eat dinner on time. Yet, this Princess An had actually kept the empress dowager waiting for so long.
