After Duan Jiu finished speaking, he turned around and left. He had already gotten the information he wanted. He could not stay in this Jasper Palace for long. When he came in, Duan Jiu could already feel the murderous aura coming from all directions.
Because Duan Jiu had poison in his body, he never showed that he knew martial arts. He went through many hardships when he first started practicing martial arts. Later, when he could not break through the bottleneck, Duan Jiu discovered that he was poisoned.
Duan Jiu always thought that it was because of his mediocre qualifications, so he kept working harder. It was only when he reached the bottleneck period that he realized that it was not because of his qualifications.
The internal strength of cultivation has been colliding with the toxins in his body, so he has never been able to break through. In these years, he has never shown that he knows martial arts.
When he just entered the Jade Palace, he felt the murderous aura coming from all directions. Duan Jiu deliberately suppressed his aura to prevent those people from discovering it.
Sure enough, there is really a secret hidden in the Bishui Palace, a secret as big as Queen Mother Jiang's. I only hope that what I say to Xiao Niao Niao can remind her of Queen Mother Jiang's kindness and her ability to find her way back.
After Duan Jiu left, Xiao Niao also breathed a sigh of relief. She did not expect that Duan Jiu would suddenly ask about Empress Dowager Jiang. Fortunately, he had not seen her for a long time and wondered whether she was grounded when she met Empress Dowager Jiang.
But Duan Jiu's words have been lingering in Xiao Niao's mind. The Queen Mother pampers herself so much that no matter what excessive things she does, she will be grounded at most.
The Empress Dowager would always send a copy to the Biyu Palace for any rare items offered as tribute from outside. The more Xiao Niao Niao thought about it, the more confused her heart became. Now all she could think of was the kind look of Empress Dowager Jiang when she called her Niao Niao.
Xiao Niao Niao was so upset that she angrily threw all the rouge and gouache on the dressing table to the ground. Fortunately, she was watching from the side, but she did not dare to speak.
After venting her anger, Xiao Niao Niao was also tired. She drove all the maids out of the palace, and she lay down on the bed very depressed.
Looking at the curtains on the top of the bed, Xiao Niao suddenly remembered how Duan Jiu was worried about him just now. His tone was gentle and strong. This was the first time since Jiang Fang returned to the palace that Duan Jiu spoke to him so gently.
That originally belonged to her!
Duan Jiu is hers, and so is the Queen Mother, but since Jiang Fang came, everything has changed. If it weren't for Jiang Fang, then Duan Jiu should be the eighth prince-in-law.
If there was no Jiang Fang, the Queen Mother would not talk about Jiang Fang every time she was in front of her. She would always praise Jiang Fang for how good he was.
All of this was originally very beautiful, but just because of Jiang Fang's arrival, she was like an adopted child. Now that her biological child has come back, everyone is surrounding her and abandoning her in a corner.
Yes, it's all because of Jiang Fang. If you get rid of Jiang Fang, then everything will return to your own hands. If it weren't for that ugly Jiang Fang, why would you be forced to this point?
Xiao Niao's eyes turned cold. All her original guilt had now been forgotten by her. All she could think about now was how to get rid of Jiang Fang.
Xiao Niao stood up, got dressed, and walked to the shelf filled with books in the bedroom. She gently moved the blue and white porcelain aside, and the bookshelf began to move slowly.
Xiao Niao walked slowly down the steps, passed through the dark corridor, turned around and saw the big night pearl shining inside like daylight.
Queen Mother Jiang was tied to a pillar nearby, her eyes were covered, and she seemed to hear someone coming in. She said: "Xiao Huaiyan, you will never get the throne in this life. This position has never belonged to you.
It was not yours before, it is not now, and it will never be yours in the future! Give up, even if you kill me, you will never get this throne!"
Xiao Niao Niao looked at the embarrassed Empress Dowager Jiang without saying a word, with blood still oozing from the corners of her mouth. Xiao Niao Niao felt a little distressed, but remembering how she had neglected him because of Jiang Fang, Xiao Niao Niao clenched her fists again.
Don't be soft-hearted!
Xiao Niao Niao repeatedly warned herself in her heart that if she softened her heart, then all this would be in vain. Jiang Fang would still be the same Jiang Fang, the third princess that everyone surrounded.
In the past, I was the brightest pearl in the palace, getting whatever I wanted, loving my brother and the Queen Mother, but because of Jiang Fang, now I have become a joke in the eyes of others.
Queen Mother Jiang roared, but did not receive any response. She turned sideways, trying to use her ears to hear clearly who was coming.
Silence filled the air. Listening to the sound of dripping water, Queen Mother Jiang said: "Xiao Huaiyan, are you afraid? Are you afraid of talking to the Ai family?
The Ai family thought you were so great, but in the end you were just a villain who shrank in the darkness. Why, would you only use such a trick?"
Xiao Niao Niao still didn't speak. Xiao Huaiyan had promised that Empress Dowager Jiang didn't know about her existence and was just borrowing her place.
When he gets what he wants, he will naturally release Queen Mother Jiang, but from now on she can only live as someone else.
If Xiao Niao Niao did not agree, then Queen Mother Jiang's life might be lost. This was one of the reasons why Xiao Niao Niao compromised. Not only did she want Jiang Fang's life, she wanted Duan Jiu, she also wanted Queen Mother Jiang to live.
Xiao Niao Niao sighed softly, and then was about to turn around and leave. At this time, Queen Mother Jiang tentatively shouted: "Niao Niao? Is that you Niao Niao?"
Xiao Niao stopped, looked back at Queen Mother Jiang who was tied to the pillar, and then ran away quickly with her skirt in hand.
When she returned to the palace, Xiao Niao's heart was still pounding. When Empress Dowager Jiang called out her name, she was so frightened that her breathing stopped.
No, she couldn't let Empress Dowager Jiang know about her participation. If Xiao Huaiyan failed, at least she could keep her identity as the eighth princess.
But if Empress Dowager Jiang knew that the place where she was imprisoned was her palace, and she was the one who helped Xiao Huaiyan hide it, then even if Jiang Fang was gone, Empress Dowager Jiang would not let her go.
Xiao Niao Niao pressed her chest, fearing that her heart would jump out of her chest at the next moment. She didn't know how long it took before Xiao Niao Niao calmed down.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said slowly: "This time, I will win no matter what, because this is mine, it is mine!"
