Chapter 50: Entering the Palace the Next Day

Entering the Palace the Next Day

Aunt Wu was someone from the side of Yin Fengzhan's birth mother, Noble Consort Ning. After Noble Consort Ning passed away from illness, she remained by Yin Fengzhan's side, accompanying him as he grew up, left the palace, and entered the Chen Wang Fu... Over all these years, she had effectively become Yin Fengzhan's family.

This was a fact everyone knew, and it was precisely because of this that everyone in the Wangfu, including Han Luoxue, gave her three parts of respect. Yet this very Aunt Wu was actually an undercover agent, colluding with someone in the palace!

Suddenly, Nie Jinxuan felt a bit uneasy, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Yin Fengzhan.

"Are you... alright?"

Nie Jinxuan did not know what Yin Fengzhan was thinking; she only felt she had to say something. But compared to Nie Jinxuan's many emotions, Yin Fengzhan remained tight-lipped and silent, his cold, indifferent demeanor no different from usual. A moment later, he said in a low voice:

"Enter the palace with this Prince tomorrow."

With that simple sentence, Yin Fengzhan turned and walked away. Watching his retreating figure, Nie Jinxuan frowned slightly, then returned to her own Ningxiang Yuan.

For the rest of the afternoon, Nie Jinxuan kept herself locked in her room. Many questions spun through her mind like a revolving lantern: Why would Aunt Wu, having been with Yin Fengzhan for so many years, collude with people in the palace? Why was Yin Fengzhan so calm about this? Was there someone in the palace who would be detrimental to Yin Fengzhan? And who was that person? At the same time, would any accidents happen during tomorrow's palace visit... and could Aunt Wu's matter be related to the previous murders in the Wangfu and Xiao Ru's death?

Could Aunt Wu be the true culprit who murdered Wang Fu and then silenced Xiao Ru?!

One question after another left Nie Jinxuan feeling as if she had entered a labyrinth, but after spending the entire afternoon, she still had not found the answer.

The next morning, Nie Jinxuan washed and dressed early. But as soon as she left the Wangfu, she saw Yin Fengzhan already waiting for her at the entrance!

Dressed in a dark purple brocade robe embroidered with golden silk coiled dragons, with a matching golden silk belt around his waist... In the early morning, Yin Fengzhan stood straight at the entrance, his black hair held up by a jade crown, revealing his incomparably handsome face. Reflected in the morning light, his majesty appeared even more dazzling and intimidating!

For a moment, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but be dazed. Seeing Nie Jinxuan come out, Yin Fengzhan merely raised his eyes to look at her, then said in a low voice:

"Get in the carriage!"

This was Nie Jinxuan's first time riding in a carriage. The slightly bumpy sensation made her uncomfortable. But at this moment, what made her even more nervous was Yin Fengzhan, who was sitting opposite her.

Because from the moment they boarded the carriage, Yin Fengzhan had not said a single word. His slightly lowered eyes and cold face made it impossible to see a trace of joy or anger.

Nie Jinxuan did not know what he was thinking, but there were some things she had to ask, so after a moment, she couldn't help but speak first:

"What is the reason for entering the palace today?"

Because of yesterday's matter with Aunt Wu, Nie Jinxuan deliberately lowered her voice. But hearing this, Yin Fengzhan only raised his eyes to glance at her.

"Today is Aunt's birthday."

Yin Fengzhan spoke in a low voice, then lowered his eyes again. Upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was slightly stunned, but then she instantly remembered: the Aunt Yin Fengzhan spoke of was Zhang Guifei of the Yongxin Palace. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
