As night fell, Grandma Sun had long since lost her sleep. She sat uneasily on the small table and watched the night. She swallowed her throat.
"Mother Sun, why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" the little palace maid asked with a concerned look on her face.
After hearing this, Grandma Sun immediately lowered her head and glanced at her palms. She was indeed sweating. She shook her head and was a little impatient: "Maybe it's too hot. You tend to sweat when you're older, but you're more likely to sweat when you're young.
Keep an eye on it."
The little palace maid nodded and raised her ears attentively.
In the second half of the night, the sound of the wooden fish became more and more urgent. Jiang Yunxu sat on the porch and started tapping again and again, with a soft smile on his face.
The movement was like a demonic sound piercing the ears.
The Queen Mother in Zhangnan Palace next door was not even half asleep. She struggled to get up and said angrily: "What time is it?"
Upon hearing the commotion, Grandma Sun hurried forward, bowed her waist and said, "In reply to the Queen Mother, it's just past midnight and it's still early, so you can take a moment to squint."
But the Queen Mother couldn't sleep. That night, whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of the rows of Buddha statues. She stood up and listened to the irritating sound of wooden fish in her ears. The anger in her heart could not be suppressed. She quickly walked a few steps out of the yard, with Sun behind her.
Seeing this, grandma quickly put clothes on her and said, "Your Majesty, the wind is strong at night, please be careful to catch a cold."
The Queen Mother kept a cold face and continued walking forward without saying a word.
The sound of the wooden fish in my ears suddenly changed its pitch, becoming somewhat miserable and ferocious, which made my heart feel numb.
There was a slight breeze, and even though the courtyard was brightly lit and guarded by countless guards, there was a creepy feeling in the atmosphere.
"The Queen Mother." Nanny Sun, who was timid, hid behind the Queen Mother and said in a trembling voice, "Why don't we go back."
The Queen Mother, however, was annoyed and glanced sideways at Nanny Sun, and said coldly: "The Ai family wants to see who dares to do anything wrong under the Ai family's nose!"
In Fengqi Palace, Jiang Yunxu heard the Queen Mother's voice. The smile on her face dropped and a group of black armored troops were released from the space.
These black-armored soldiers were covered in golden clothes, with densely packed Buddhist characters embroidered with silver thread on their collars and sleeves. After receiving the order, they surrounded Zhangnan Palace almost instantly, and they were all filled with murderous intent.
"Queen Mother!" When Grandma Sun raised her head, she saw countless golden people falling from the sky. She was so frightened that she almost fainted and murmured: "It's the Buddha statue that has appeared. Queen Mother, it's the Buddha statue that has sent people to punish us."
"Shut up!" the Queen Mother scolded angrily.
Only then did Grandma Sun regain some sense, but she was still trembling and didn't dare to move a step.
The Queen Mother looked at the group of black-armored soldiers with a solemn expression and exclaimed: "You are so brave that you dare to break into Zhangnan Palace without permission. As long as you put down your weapons and leave, the Ai family can forget about it."
It's a pity that no one moved.
When the Queen Mother saw this, her face became even colder: "If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty, so don't blame the Ai family for being ruthless, Mr. Li!"
Master Li rushed over immediately after his name was called. He was even more puzzled when he saw this group of black armored soldiers. He led his people to guard the entrance of Zhangnan Palace. How did these people get in?
"Kill them all for the Ai family, leaving no one behind!"
Master Li nodded, raised his hand and immediately asked the guards to surround the black armored army, but the opponent's movements were faster than theirs, and his figure shuttled among the group of guards very quickly.
In less than half an hour, all of these guards fell to the ground. Zhang Nangong was bleeding like a river. The Queen Mother's heart almost rose to her throat. She looked at all this with a pale face.
There was a bang, and Grandma Sun was so frightened that she fainted.
But the black armored army did not kill the Queen Mother.
Zhang Nan Palace was brutally wiped out overnight, and there were only three survivors: the half-dead Master Li, the frightened Aunt Sun who fainted, and the Queen Mother.
There were corpses all over the ground, and the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so shocked that they almost lost their footing. Such a big thing happened in the palace, and they didn't even receive any news.
Soon the news spread that the Queen Mother disrespected the Buddha statues and angered the gods, causing Zhang Nan Palace to suffer retribution. Thousands of people died in total.
At this time, the Shen family had not thoroughly investigated the matter about the ancestral graves. After hearing about the tragedy in the palace, Mrs. Shen immediately lost her mind about entering the palace.
What's more serious is that whenever the Shen family goes out, they will attract criticism, and many people will point fingers at the Shen family.
"You are so courageous that you dare to insult even the gods. Stay away from the Shen family as soon as possible. Don't let the Shen family suffer bad luck."
"The good days of the Shen family have come to an end."
Everyone on the street was laughing at the Shen family. As for the Shen family, they had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to close the door tightly.
In addition, the Queen Mother fell ill, and the doctors agreed that she was frightened and needed to rest.
As the daughter-in-law in name only, Jiang Yunxu still wore a plain robe and personally visited Zhangnan Palace. She told everyone in public: "The Queen Mother is sick. The hospital must use the best medicine. If the Queen Mother is ill, the hospital must use the best medicine." If you make a mistake, I will never forgive you lightly!"
All the imperial doctors knelt down and expressed that they would do their best.
Jiang Yunxu nodded lightly and was satisfied. She continued to walk forward, just as Grandma Sun came out. When she saw her, she looked like she was a ghost. She was so frightened that she stepped back again and again. She lost her center of gravity and fell down.
