032 The Heart of the Nine-fold Emperor and Empress (2)

Wearing floor-length palace clothes, it was really inconvenient to move around. However, there was no clothes to change at the moment, so Ye Jiaoxi could only make do with what she wore.

She tapped her toes and jumped up to the top of the palace. The nine-layered palace was in full view. The numerous buildings spread out layer by layer under the interplay of light and shadow, disappearing at the junction of heaven and earth in the distance. Looking back, she looked beyond the Xuanwu Gate and saw the prosperous imperial capital.

, there are stars on the Chuhuai River, and the night is hazy at the junction of water and sky, with no end in sight.

Ye Jiaoxi sighed softly and murmured: "Sure enough, the scenery is more spectacular from the rooftop."

She looked around again, her bright eyes sparkling, and she pointed lightly towards one of the halls with her slender jade fingers, muttering to herself: "If I remember correctly, it should be that one, Concubine Shu's bedroom. The congratulatory gifts should be placed there."

As he spoke, he jumped lightly, his body flew away like a jade swallow, and landed silently on the red tiles on the roof of the palace. The flowing clouds in his wide sleeves drew an arc in the night, leaving a faint fragrance, which was too beautiful to behold.

Ye Jiaoxi held her breath and listened for a moment, with a smile in her bright eyes. Then she turned over and landed, pushed the window and jumped in. She turned around and ducked into the green curtain. After a series of actions, it was only in the blink of an eye. If someone else was there, they would also

All you can see is ghostly white shadows flashing by, as well as slightly swaying carved wooden windows and green curtains fluttering slightly in the night breeze.

Ye Jiaoxi opened a corner behind the curtain and looked around. Every few steps in the palace, there were palace maids standing with their heads bowed. There were two women sitting on the couch. The one facing Ye Jiaoxi was brightly dressed and elegant, while her back was facing Ye Jiaoxi.

The bright-looking woman was dressed in white clothes with a gilded phoenix. Although her face was invisible, looking at her back, she felt cold and noble.

Ye Jiaoxi heard the woman in bright clothes say: "My mother sent me such a heavy gift, and I have thanked you on behalf of Yin'er."

The woman in white said: "Yin'er is one year old, and the grandmother of the Ai family cannot be shabby." The voice was slightly old, but it was still majestic. After saying this, Ye Jiaoxi also knew that the two people were Concubine Shu.

and the Queen Mother, but she frowned slightly and stared closely at the Queen Mother's back, with various complicated expressions of surprise, suspicion, and disbelief flashing in her eyes.

After a cup of tea, the Queen Mother stood up to say goodbye. The moment she turned around, a face that showed some traces of time became clear in the pale yellow candlelight. At the same time, Ye Jiaoxi suddenly widened her eyes, and for a moment,

Keep an eye on the Queen Mother until she walks out of the bedroom.

After a while, Ye Jiaoxi and Fang Ning calmed down and murmured: "It should be...impossible? Maybe it wasn't her true appearance at that time and she was lying to me, right?"

After seeing off the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu returned to the palace and started dressing up and changing clothes, probably preparing to attend the dinner party. Ye Jiaoxi glanced around the palace and soon saw the congratulatory gifts piled aside. After Concubine Shu left with several palace maids,

Ye Jiaoxi stepped out of the curtain, avoiding the palace maid who stayed in the palace, and soon found the Han Jade Ice Toad among the many gifts.

Being so surprised by the Queen Mother, Ye Jiaoxi lost interest. She hid the Cold Jade Ice Toad in her sleeve and left the palace to go back. She jumped on the red tiles on the roof of the palace and walked slowly towards the main hall, looking very worried.

.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Ye Jiaoxi's eyes, and a flying stone came towards her quickly. She turned sideways and could have easily avoided it, but she accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt and lost her balance.

He fell downwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and the gilt-trimmed skirt stopped in front of Ye Jiaoxi. The Queen Mother's voice sounded again: "Didn't I say that you can make any trouble in the world, but don't mess with the court? That year you sneaked into
