“My Queen, how did you know about the secret passage on West Mountain?”

Seeing the hidden passage before him, Ilan Feng’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

Even his master didn’t know about this secret passage, so at this moment, Han Feng’s expression when looking at Jiang Peihuan was one of mixed feelings.

“I stumbled upon it by accident.”

Upon hearing Han Feng’s words, Jiang Peihuan replied lightly and didn’t speak again after that.

Why she knew about the hidden room here was because Xiao Junhao had brought her here in her past life.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t expect that after being reborn in this lifetime, this secret passage would come in handy.

After an unknown length of time, Jiang Peihuan finally saw light ahead.

When they emerged from the secret room, Jiang Peihuan and her companions appeared in the Imperial Garden.

“Follow me.”

Taking a look at their surroundings, Jiang Peihuan headed directly east.

After about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Jiang Peihuan saw Kun Ning Palace.

“You all wait here, I’ll go in and check on the Empress.”

Instructing Han Feng, Jiang Peihuan then entered Kun Ning Palace with Ye Xiao.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Peihuan sensed that something was amiss.

Because Kun Ning Palace was eerily silent, not a sound to be heard.

Suddenly realizing something, Jiang Peihuan’s face changed instantly. Turning to Ye Xiao, she urgently said, “Go, quickly!”

Saying this, Jiang Peihuan rushed towards the Empress’s sleeping quarters.

As she approached the door, she heard crying and shouting from inside.

Without hesitation, she entered.

The scene before her made Jiang Peihuan frown deeply.

Two old nanny were restraining the Empress, while another was trying to force a bowl of medicine down the Empress’s throat.

The Empress’s eyes were filled with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

Princess Consort Meng sat on the chair with a smug look in her eyes. She looked at the Empress who was being pressed down and said with a smile,” Your Royal Majesty, after today, you will…”

“Ah…”

Before Princess Consort could finish, the two nanny restraining the Empress were suddenly thrown off. When Ye Xiao stepped forward to intervene, Jiang Peihuan quickly went to the Empress’s side.

She checked the Empress’s pulse and saw that she was merely frightened, and the child in her womb was unharmed. Jiang Peihuan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Huan Er?”

Upon seeing Jiang Peihuan, the Empress’s eyes were filled with emotion.

However, when Princess Meng saw Jiang Peihuan, her eyes were cold, “Jiang Peihuan, you are audacious, daring to attack my people.”

“However bold I might be, I’m not as audacious as Princess Consort Meng, daring to plot against the Emperor heir.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

“Am I? Does Princess Consort Meng want to take a look at the medicine on the floor? 1 am a doctor, and I can tell what that medicine is with just one look. Or does Princess Consort Meng want to claim that it’s not an abortifacient, but a medicine to protect the fetus?”

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, she coldly said, “So what if it is? What does it have to do with you, Jiang Peihuan? If you don’t want trouble, leave my palace.”

“And what if I don’t?”

“Humph!”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Princess Consort Meng let out a snort, then yelled, “Guards!”

In an instant, two shadow guards appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao immediately stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Jiang Peihuan.

“Kill her forme!”

Princess Consort Meng pointed directly at Jiang Peihuan, ordering without hesitation.

Hearing this, a hint of conflict appeared in the eyes of the two shadow guards.

“What are you waiting for? Didn’t you hear my command?”

Princess Consort Meng, with a darkened look in her eyes, voiced her frustration when the two guards hesitated.

At her words, the two guards, without any hesitation, lunged at Jiang Peihuan.

Ye Xiao, single-handedly taking on the two of them, was not at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan let out a sigh of relief.

Jiang Peihuan approached and carefully helped the Empress up.

“You two are useless, can’t even defeat a servant.”

“Attack! Kill Jiang Peihuan for me.”

Princess Consort Meng grew desperate. The maids and eunuchs by her side exchanged glances, then charged towards Jiang Peihuan.

Jiang Peihuan said nothing, drawing a long whip from her waist.

With a swift flick of the black whip, she knocked the maids to the ground.

Finally, the whip lashed out, aiming directly at Princess Consort Meng.

Seeing this, Princess Consort Meng shrieked, “Jiang Peihuan, how dare you!”

“Ah…”

As the words left Consort Meng’s mouth, the whip in Jiang Peihuan’s hand wrapped around her neck. With a forceful tug, Jiang Peihuan turned to the two shadow guards and said, “Will you not stop?”

The two guards, already distracted by the scene with Princess Consort Meng, hesitated. Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, they instinctively stopped, allowing Ye Xiao to knock them to the ground.

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Ye Xiao spoke with a mocking tone, “To think you call yourselves shadow guards. You bring shame to our kind!”

Hearing Ye Xiao’s words, a smile appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

She always thought Ye Xiao was calm and quiet, never expecting this side of her.

The moment Jiang Peihuan released the whip, Princess Consort Meng tried to rush forward, but was immediately restrained by Ye Xiao.

“You lowly servant! How dare you touch me! Release me!”

“If you shout again, believe me, I’ll scar your face.”

Facing Princess Consort Meng’s threat, Ye Xiao responded coldly.

As she spoke, she pulled out a dagger, pointing it at Princess Consort Meng’s face. Feeling the coldness on her cheek and seeing Ye Xiao’s emotionless expression, Princess Consort Meng remained silent.

“Your Royal Majesty, let me take you to rest.”

“Huan Er, wait for me.”

The Empress, leaning on Jiang Peihuan, approached Princess Consort Meng.

Princess Consort Meng was deeply afraid of Jiang Peihuan and Ye Xiao, but when facing the Empress, her pride shone. She coldly said, “Your Royal Majesty, do not forget the affection between the Emperor and me. You…”

“Slap!”

Before Princess Consort Meng could finish, the Empress slapped her across the face.

Her palm tingled, but the Empress’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. “I’ve wanted to slap you for a long time.”

Stunned, Princess Consort Meng glared at the Empress before her.

After a few seconds, she bellowed, “How dare you hit me, you…”

“Why can’t I? You’re just a princess consort, while I am the Empress. I’m the official wife, and you’re the concubine. Why shouldn’t I slap you?”

The Empress slapped Princess Consort Meng again.

Enraged, Princess Consort Meng tried to charge at the Empress, but was firmly restrained by Ye Xiao.

“Ye Xiao, find a place to lock her up. We’ll let the Emperor decide her fate later.”

“Yes..”
