Chapter 396 Princess Cangyue's Helplessness
Chapter 396 Princess Cangyue's Helplessness
"Your Highness, the Emperor's Yangxin Palace is really well guarded. It would be difficult for us to sneak in without anyone noticing."
When they went out, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen stood on the roof of the palace which was relatively far away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Each of them held a telescope with night vision function in one hand, observing the situation near the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"We can find a way to walk into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity openly." At this time, Feng Wuhen suddenly said.
"What method?" Jiang Yimo asked curiously.
Feng Wuhen did not answer her directly, but kept it a secret with a mysterious look on his face: "Think about it, in this palace right now, besides Concubine Rou and her son, who else can come and go freely?"
When Jiang Yimo heard what he said, a person immediately flashed through her mind, and then she said excitedly: "Are you talking about the Queen Mother?"
"That's right!" Feng Wuhen nodded, "But you only guessed one person."
"Who else?" Jiang Yimo asked and thought of someone else. Then, she looked at Feng Wuhen and said, "Princess Cangyue."
After saying this, Feng Wuhen nodded slightly.
"Princess Cangyue is indeed a good candidate, but she is the child of Concubine Rou. Will she be willing to help us?" Jiang Yimo was skeptical.
"Although Cang Yue was born to Concubine Rou and is a biological sister of Prince Kang, her personality is completely opposite to that of Concubine Rou and her son."
"She is kind, cheerful, straightforward, and smart." Feng Wuhen spoke highly of Princess Cangyue.
After listening to Feng Wuhen's words, Jiang Yimo nodded in agreement.
Princess Cangyue, whom she had met before, was indeed a very nice girl and left a very good impression on Jiang Yimo.
So, after the two of them finished chatting, they began to discuss their next plan.
Then, they secretly ran to Princess Cangyue's bedroom.
Originally, Princess Cangyue's bedroom was next to Concubine Rou's palace.
However, no one knew what happened later, and Princess Cangyue took the initiative to ask the emperor to move out of Concubine Rou's palace.
The emperor considered that Princess Cangyue had grown up and needed an independent space, so he agreed to her request and let her move to a palace far away from Concubine Rou's bedroom.
As a result, the original relationship between Princess Cangyue and Concubine Rou became weaker, and now the contact between them as mother and daughter is even less.
Now the mother and daughter are like strangers, so strange that they live in the same palace but are like strangers.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen quietly slipped into Princess Cangyue's bedroom.
At this time, Princess Cangyue had turned off the lights and was sleeping on the bed. Just as she was half asleep, she suddenly heard a clanging sound from the half-open window of her room, and two dark shadows jumped into her room.
The sudden noise woke Princess Cangyue up instantly. She sat up, her heart pounding, and she was so nervous that she almost cried out.
At this moment, a large hand quickly covered her mouth, and at the same time a deep and familiar male voice came from her ear: "Cang Yue is us!"
Upon hearing this voice, Princess Cangyue's tense body immediately relaxed. It turned out that her seventh brother had come.
She nodded gently to show that she understood and would not yell, then motioned for him to let go.
After Feng Wuhen let go of her hand, Princess Cangyue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that she did not lose her composure and scream.
She calmed herself down, looked at the two people in front of her, and asked curiously, "Why are you here? What's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"
Jiang Yimo smiled and replied softly: "Princess Cangyue, we really have something to ask you!"
As she spoke, she sat down beside Princess Cang Yue's bed.
"What's the matter? Just tell me. Cangyue will help you if there is anything I can do." Princess Cangyue said with a sweet smile.
"Princess, have you heard any rumors in the palace recently?" Jiang Yimo asked directly.
"What rumors? No!" Princess Cangyue looked at her with her eyes flashing and shook her head.
Then she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up: "Are you talking about my father's illness?"
"Yes, that's why we are here." Jiang Yimo nodded, with a hint of worry on her face.
Princess Cang Yue looked at her, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "I went to see my father a few days ago. He just caught a cold. Later, he drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and got much better. It's nothing serious."
"It is rumored that the emperor is seriously ill and has been bedridden for many days, and Concubine Rou and Prince Kang have taken control of the entire palace..."
Jiang Yimo's voice was low and serious, and every word was like a hammer hitting Princess Cangyue's heart.
Her eyes were filled with worry and tension, as if conveying an unspeakable pressure to Princess Cang Yue.
After hearing what Jiang Yimo said, Princess Cangyue's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Her eyes revealed deep worry and fear, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
"Could it be that the rumors I heard yesterday were all true? My mother and brother really..."
Princess Cang Yue's voice was filled with despair and helplessness, and tears were flashing in her eyes, as if she had lost all hope in an instant.
However, at this moment, Princess Cangyue suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her face turned pale again.
Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Yimo, trying to find some comfort or explanation from her expression.
However, Jiang Yimo's face only showed solemnity and worry, without any other expression.
"Yes, I believe Princess Cang Yue has also heard the rumors outside."
"Sister Jiang, Seventh Brother, actually... I already knew that Mother and Brother had... that kind of idea, but I..."
Princess Cangyue stammered, her face still as pale as paper, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes filled with pain and helplessness.
She clenched her hands tightly together, as if trying to control her emotions.
At this time, Feng Wuhen sighed softly, he reached out and patted Princess Cangyue's shoulder, and whispered to comfort her: "Cangyue, Concubine Rou and Prince Kang tried to rebel and usurp the throne, you just didn't participate, you couldn't stop them, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry."
Princess Cang Yue raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. She bit her lips hard and said in a choked voice, "But...but one of them is my biological mother after all, and the other is also my biological brother!"
"How could they treat my father like this? My father and grandmother have always been so kind to them, why would they do such a thing?"
“How can I face everyone?”
After she finished speaking, her tears slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and splashed into crystal tears.
