At that time, she had felt very afraid. She had to escape from this person, this place. However, Eunuch Chen had obviously come prepared. He slowly walked towards him with great confidence as he watched him walk towards him. Happy Vin thought to herself, I'm finished now!

Sure enough, he was holding onto his own family and wanted to marry them. If Xi Wen did not comply, then all her family members would suffer! He just so happened to have a better villager serving at the empress's place. Seeing his miserable state, he wanted to beg the empress for mercy.

She had even thought that this would be the end of her life. To spend the rest of her life with this eunuch should be her fate.

But the empress had actually saved her! After she was saved by the empress, she was sent to the empress dowager's palace. At that time, the empress had only instructed her not to do anything unnecessary, and to serve the empress dowager honestly and peacefully. Whatever Her Majesty asks you to do, just do it.

As long as she came out from such a place that could drive a person insane, what did it matter even if she became a spy for the Empress? Besides, the Empress was only telling her to behave. It was a simple matter, and she agreed immediately.

She had done the same in the Palace of Tzu Ning, doing what the Empress had told her to do. She thought, if the empress doesn't use it to find me, then in a few more years, I might even forget that I belong to the empress dowager and have to wholeheartedly serve the empress dowager!

She knew the Empress Dowager's character well and admired it even more.

Had such a thing not happened, she thought, she would still be at Her Majesty's service.

After hearing the empress's question, Xi Wen naturally nodded her head and answered. After answering, the empress frowned again and asked, ”I remember that I didn't ask you to do anything. Since you remember me, how could you decide on your own?”

She knew that it was the Empress who had come to look for her. At that time, he didn't suspect anything and assumed that this was the mission the empress had given him. He did it without a second thought. From the looks of it, the empress had no idea at all. Then perhaps he had really been used by someone, even almost harming the empress?

For such an outcome, it was hard to accept!

There were tears in her eyes and her face was pale.

All these years, she had treated the empress as her savior. But now, she had almost harmed her savior!

The empress also knew that there was some misunderstanding, so she asked, ”Tell me everything from beginning to end! Perhaps I can still save your life, but if — then I will also be powerless. ”

The empress wasn't stupid, she already had a vague guess. It was only because this matter had yet to come to a conclusion that she did not say it out loud.

The nails he left behind in each of the palaces weren't things that he alone knew about.

At least the Crown Prince knew all about it.

There were also some things that he had not hidden from Yun Xin. The crown prince probably didn't do this, but Yun Xin was hiding it from him! If it was the crown prince, then the empress dowager wouldn't have taken his crimes lightly. It was impossible that he wouldn't receive even the slightest bit of information about his crimes. This could very well be the doing of Yun Xin who he had spoiled so badly!

The empress had already made up her mind. She wanted to hear it from her own mouth, but it was all with unrealistic thoughts.

However, Xi Wen had disappointed the empress.

So it was the empress's palace maid, Yong Ling, who had gone to find Xi Wen. Due to Princess Yun Xin's favor, the palace had instructed her to treat Princess Yun Xin well, and she was doing her best to take care of her in the palace.

Therefore, when Yun Xin came looking for her, she did not hesitate. One reason was that she felt it was her duty to do her best to help Princess Yun Xin. The other two felt that the empress doted on Princess Yun Xin, so even if the empress knew, she would not blame them.

Just like that, she hid it from the Queen and went to find the Embroidery Mark. He recounted the matters that had been instructed to him by Yun Xin. He didn't specifically say that the empress had instructed him to do so, so Ember naturally assumed it was the empress's intention. He agreed without hesitation. If not for the Yuan clan's reminder when Hua Yuan entered the palace, she would have been driven out of the palace by now.

When she entered the palace, her personal belongings were arranged in a certain order. Even the knotting of the baggage is orderly.

It was also because of this caution that Princess Yun Xin's vicious plan had not succeeded!

As for the empress's side, she knew that Princess Yun Xin had done it behind her back, so she sighed in her heart, ”You – go and invite Princess Yun Xin over!”
