The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 173 Bring the Ghost 1 with you

A cold light like a poisonous snake suddenly flashed in Concubine Yin's beautiful and narrow eyes.

That hint of ruthlessness was fleeting, but it was chilling.

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Am I just going to watch them turn over like this? I won't accept this!"

Zhao Yucheng felt a tightness in his heart when he saw Concubine Yin was so angry.

He hurried forward, stretched out his hands and gently placed them on Concubine Yin's shoulders.

He soothed her softly, "Ling'er, don't be angry. It's not good for your health. Don't worry, I'll go back and arrange for people to go to Nanhu County. However, we must be cautious about this matter. After all, she is an imperial merchant, and the local people have benefited greatly from her favors. The assassination can only be carried out secretly, and we must not let anyone know that this is our intention."

After hearing what Zhao Yucheng said, although Concubine Yin was still a little reluctant, she also understood that what Zhao Yucheng said made sense.

So she nodded slightly and agreed to Zhao Yucheng's plan.

After Zhao Yucheng turned around and left, Concubine Yin also returned to her own bedroom.

After entering the palace gate, she waved her hand solemnly, signaling all the servants around her to leave.

When she was the only one left in the palace, Concubine Yin took a deep breath and said slowly and solemnly, "Someone come!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Concubine Yin.

The black shadow knelt on one knee, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master!"

Concubine Yin narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her voice and ordered, "Black Shadow, I order you to lead your men to Nanhu County immediately and find out the whereabouts of Wang Xinyao from Xiejia Village. Once you find her, eliminate her without anyone noticing! Remember, no word of this matter can leak out!"

Upon hearing this, the black shadow responded respectfully, "Yes, Master! I obey your command!"

Although Zhao Yucheng agreed to arrange someone to handle it, Concubine Yin still felt that it was not safe enough. She wanted double protection and no hidden dangers. This was her method.

Then, Concubine Yin asked again, "Black Shadow, has the food we robbed been successfully delivered?"

The shadowy figure bowed and clasped his fists before saying, "Master, this batch of grain has been transported to the border. However, General Chen's defenses are very tight, and the amount of grain we've looted is so large that it's difficult to break through his defenses right away. Therefore, we can only hide in a hidden cave for the time being and wait for the right time to move."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yin became furious, and her pretty face became a little distorted with anger.

She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "How dare you, Chen Guangze, obstruct my actions? I will definitely turn your Chen family upside down. Only in this way can I dispel the hatred in my heart!"

After a brief pause, Concubine Yin seemed to have thought of something, and then instructed, "Black Shadow, when you go to Nanhu County to carry out this mission, remember to bring Ghost with you. She is quite familiar with the terrain there. With her help, I believe things will proceed more smoothly."

"There is no time to lose, let's make arrangements quickly!" After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling the black shadow to set off immediately to prepare.

"Yes, master!" After saying that, the black shadow stood up and disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

At this time, Zhou Yunxi was worried about Wang Xinyao's safety in the palace, so he secretly arranged for several confidants to guard near Wang Xinyao's residence.

Once there is any sign of trouble, we can respond in time.

Wang Xinyao had no idea that danger was quietly approaching. She only wanted to cure Guoan's illness as soon as possible, and then return to Nanhu County to develop her papermaking and salt industries and improve people's lives.

But she didn't know that in this deep palace, conspiracies and intrigues were slowly spreading towards her like a spider web in the dark.

At midnight, the moonlight casts a faint glow through the mottled leaves, adding a touch of mystery to the quiet night.

Zhou Yunxi was just about to finish a busy day and lie down on the bed for a good rest. However, a figure flashed into the room quickly. It was Zhao Meir.

She looked hurried, and her pretty face revealed a hint of anxiety and nervousness.

"Brother Zhou, time is urgent. I need to go to Nanhu County immediately!" Zhao Meir said anxiously in a low voice.

Zhou Yunxi was shocked when she heard this. Her face was filled with anxiety and worry as she asked, "Mei'er, didn't you just come back from Nanhu County? Why are you rushing over there again? What happened?"

Zhao Meir bit her lip lightly and replied helplessly, "We just received the mission assigned to us. They want us to go to Nanhu County immediately to kill Xinyao! I don't know the specific situation. This operation is full of variables. I can only take it one step at a time..."

When she said this, a hint of confusion and uneasiness appeared in her eyes.

"What? How dare they be so bold! First they tried to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now they are trying to attack the Madam! This is simply lawless!" Zhou Yunxi was furious.

His originally handsome face seemed a little distorted because of anger, and his eyes seemed to be burning with rage.

"Mei'er, please tell me, who are they? Why do they do this? I really want to figure it all out!" Zhou Yunxi's face was full of earnestness.

However, Zhao Meir still shook her head and said firmly, "Brother Zhou, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this matter is too dangerous. For your own safety, the less you know, the better!"

Although she felt reluctant, Zhao Meir understood that if she told Zhou Yunxi the truth, it would only bring him more trouble and danger.

Then, as if to comfort Zhou Yunxi, Zhao Meir quickly added, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou. No matter what happens, I will never let anything happen to Xinyao! Even if it costs me my life, I will protect her!"

When saying this, Zhao Meir's eyes were extremely firm, leaving no room for doubt.

"Mei'er, Madam is not in Nanhu County for the time being. When you and them are searching, just go ahead and look for her. Don't reveal any flaws! Be sure to be careful when you get there!" Zhou Yunxi said worriedly.

Zhao Mei'er nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I will be fine. I can't tell you anymore. If I stay here for too long, they will get suspicious!"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Zhou Yunxi could tell her that Eunuch Xu wanted to see her, Zhao Meir disappeared from beside Zhou Yunxi with a "whoosh" like a flash of lightning.

After Zhao Meir left, Zhou Yunxi was extremely anxious.

Although Wang Xinyao is not in Nanhu County at the moment, she will return sooner or later. It seems that she must be notified as soon as possible.
