Chapter 742 Entering the palace as a palace maid

Qi Baixing never dreamed that what she risked her life to gain was the status of a palace maid. Without status, even if she could stay with the emperor, what's the use?

She cried to Concubine Xiao, unwilling to enter the palace as a palace maid.

She didn't give up the generous conditions offered by the Crown Princess just to become a palace maid.

Concubine Xiao was also fed up with her crying, and said angrily: "That's just temporary. The emperor is going to all this trouble for you just to keep you by his side. If you can serve the emperor well, what else can you do?" Become a concubine?"

Qi Baixing is not stupid. If she changes her identity and enters the palace, she could just be sealed in the harem first. Why should she stay by her side and be a serving maid? With such a lowly status, she was favored and made a concubine in the future, and she could never get rid of her status as a palace maid.

But what path can she take now? There was some trouble with Concubine Xiao, but she was unwilling to do so.

In the end, she obediently followed Xiao Guangzi into the palace and served the emperor as a palace maid.

In fact, things were just as she expected. The emperor was very attached to her body, but that was all. His eyes when he looked at her were full of disgust and not a trace of love and pity.

Leng Xiao knew everything about Qi Baixing. She didn't want to say anything about this person. She was willing to be a pawn.

And Nangong Yitian had everything planned and was just waiting for the day of his mother's funeral.

He had to wait for his mother's coffin to leave the city before he could act. Otherwise, if he failed to win quickly and entered a stalemate, his mother's body would also be destroyed.

He no longer has the ability to look at certain people the way humans think.

The Empress Dowager has quietly made arrangements, and she can still control some of the people in the palace.

Nangong Yitian never said anything to her, but as keen as she was, he had already noticed it, so he made preparations quietly.

Nangong Yitian also knew that the imperial grandmother would never help anyone. She was only protecting herself. No matter which side won, she had the strength to stand up and protect the life of the losing side.

This was a father-son feud in the royal family, and the same roommate was at war with each other. The person who suffered the most was probably her old man.

Even though Nangong Yitian had too many compulsions, he still felt guilty when facing the imperial grandmother and did not dare to see her. He only asked Ming Wudao to stay with her.

When Ming Wudao came to the East Palace, he also informed the Queen Mother about the situation. She must have been sad and angry, but she did not blame the Crown Prince.

The emperor naturally knew that the prince was not willing to give in, but he wanted to imprison all his people, and although all military power was not taken back, it was impossible for him to use two battalions of soldiers to attack the palace, and his palace soldiers and The Qinglong Guard, the imperial army can resist it.

But the emperor always believed that the prince could not take this step.

After being frightened that night, he had inner demons and always felt that the queen was staring at him, so now he had to have Qi Baixing stay with him in bed at night. After working hard in bed, he used up all his strength before he could fall asleep.

But the dream is still unsettled.

He didn't pay any attention to Lin Tianqi's plan to continue attacking the prince, and was even a little bored. He only asked him to set up a formation to prevent the evil ghost from seeking his life.

Lin Tianqi looked at his state and knew that if he continued like this, it would be useless sooner or later. He might as well vote for King Jin completely.

Lin Tianqi also ordered people to keep an eye on the East Palace, but the East Palace has been very quiet recently. Most of the people below have been arrested. Only Mu Zhi and Master Min are active, but after watching for a long time, nothing unusual happens.

Where he couldn't keep an eye on, King Shu and Wuji were already moving quickly to implement the plan formulated by Nangong Yitian. Now everything was ready, just waiting for the east wind.

Finally, on the day of the queen's funeral, Nangong Yitian sent the coffin out of the city, and hundreds of officials followed to deliver it to the city gate. The imperial mausoleum was on Bei'an Mountain, three or four days' journey from the capital.

There were also several officials who sent the queen's coffin to Bei'an Mountain together with Nangong Yitian. They were basically officials from the Ministry of Rites, and the rest were from the imperial army and the soldiers from the East Palace.
