Chapter 776: Chapter 775: Accidentally Reap the Benefits_1

The Empress Dowager was already weak, her high fever not subsiding.

Upon entering the palace, Su Pan’er realized something was amiss. While casting a spell to protect the Empress Dowager’s heart vein, she also secretly fed her a drug that stimulates the potential of life.

Back then, it was this medicine that enabled Ye Han to feign death, disguising himself as an old man who had passed away, thereby evading the massive search by the Seventh and Eighth Masters.

Afterwards, when the effect of the drug burst out, he single-handedly annihilated hundreds of people dispatched by the Seventh Master for his assassination. He even drove the Seventh Master to jump off a cliff...

However, Ye Han wasn’t the Empress Dowager. Although Ye Han was able to withstand the aggressive effect of the drug, the Empress Dowager, with her weak constitution, couldn’t!

She had originally ordered her people in the palace to make a series of preparations for the Empress Dowager to survive this crisis.

To her surprise, those with ulterior motives immediately started a rebellion upon seeing the Empress Dowager in a state of apparent death!

A smirk formed on Su Pan’er’s lips.

In that case, she wouldn’t need to lift a finger anymore! Their hasty actions forced an early palace coup.

She was unsure about the current condition of Qin Yi and Brother Ye.

Thinking of this, she quickly gathered her thoughts, focusing on saving the Empress Dowager.

No matter what the situation was in the palace, having the Empress Dowager in her hands was a strategic move. But if the Empress Dowager doesn’t survive the severe effects of the drug after regaining consciousness, that strategic move would be wasted!

The sight of Su Pan’er seriously treating the Empress Dowager didn’t ease Qingwen’s mind; instead, it made her heart hang even more.

Fortunately, not long after, Uncle Xiao reported from the door.

"Madam, those people were initially boasting arrogantly. However, once the mansion guards took action, they immediately killed the general who relayed the command. After that, they also killed a few soldiers. Seeing the situation was unfavorably, the rest scattered and ran."

"Understood. Assign a scout to discreetly follow them and see where they go, then report back!"

Su Pan’er ordered.

They actually dared to target her!

She was wondering who had the audacity to provoke a supreme like her!

That night was destined to be recorded in the history books of the Great Zhou Dynasty! That night was destined to be a night of unease! That night, the screams from within the walls of the Imperial Palace terrorized the commoners around, making them huddle in fear day and night.

Su Pan’er straightened her back, stayed by the bed, sat on the chair, and quietly stared at the proud plum tree outside the window.

Quietly waiting for dawn to arrive, waiting for news from Qin Yi.

The sky slowly brightened.

But far from clearing up, the sky resumed its heavy snowfall.

The fluttering snowflakes danced in the air, soon burying all the chaos in Chang’an City.

The door was knocked once again, and Qingwen, with a tray in her hands, stood outside: "Madam, the kitchen has prepared some breakfast, would you like to have it now?"

Interrupted from her thoughts, Su Pan’er withdrew her gaze, stood up and walked out of the inner room, silently lowering the beaded curtain to block the view inside.

"Has any news arrived from Lord Marquis?"

"No news yet."

Qingwen placed the breakfast on the table and softly asked, "Should we send Uncle Xiao with a few people to inquire?"

"No need!"

Su Pan’er immediately stopped her, picking up the bamboo chopsticks: "No news is the best news!"

With the situation inside the palace unclear and Qin Yi not sending any message, the best approach was to stay put and react to changes as they occur, lest theirs actions inadvertently implicate him.

Qingwen quickly acknowledged and took another stealthy look inside before quietly retreating to one side.

Not long after the meal, Uncle Xiao came to report the situation.

"The situation in the palace is unclear. The people I sent to inquire have found out that the Imperial Palace gate did not open today, and His Majesty didn’t hold a morning court session. The courtiers are in heated discussions, but when they saw the Imperial Guard of Xiao’s side, each decided to return to their mansions. However, there were quite a few ministers who didn’t show up at the morning court session at all."

"Oh? This is quite interesting."

Su Pan’er suddenly burst into laughter. Most of the ministers who were absent from the morning court session were probably well-informed in advance about the incident in the palace, right?

"Have you sent your men to find out exactly who didn’t show up at the morning court session?"

"I have. Including Lord Zheng from the Ministry of Rites, Lord Liew from the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Chu from the Hanlin Imperial Academy..."

Uncle Xiao mentioned several high-ranking officials: "There may have been some omissions, but I have instructed them to continue the investigation. As soon as there’s any news, it will be reported immediately."

"You’re doing very well!"

Su Pan’er was sincerely praising him.

Without Uncle Xiao’s competent assistance in managing affairs in the manor, she, Su Pan’er, would probably be exhausted from merely handling the affairs of Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence.

Uncle Xiao showed a look of reverence: "It’s only what I should be doing."

"From my monthly salary, take out one hundred taels and give it to the brothers who worked hard last night to buy drinks."

Su Pan’er had always been generous: "I remember everyone’s contribution. When Lord Marquis returns, we will reward each for their merits. Uncle Xiao, you have been busy all day, so also take fifty taels of silver from the warehouse and use it to buy some warm clothing."

"Many thanks for your reward, Lady. I’m thanking you on behalf of the brothers."

After receiving her blessings, Uncle Xiao quickly left.

Time slowly passed in silence.

Su Pan’er was closely observing the hourglass, calculating the time when Empress Dowager would pretend to die. As it was nearly noon, the Empress Dowager, lying on the bed, finally moved.

It’s started!

"Quick! Get ready immediately."

Su Pan’er instructed Qingwen, trembling, she held the silver needle in her hand and started the process swiftly.

Showing no hesitation, Qingwen quickly teamed up with Xiao Min and others to carry a large basin into the room, and the door was immediately closed...

Just as Su Pan’er expected, the Empress Dowager had a high fever.

Su Pan’er was so busy that she had no time to think about other matters, no time to hold Little Yanyan or even to rest. Her eyes never left the Empress Dowager’s body, fearing that the slightest negligence would result in failure to save her!

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain!

After the Empress Dowager’s body temperature stabilized for two consecutive hours with no fluctuations, Su Pan’er finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"Qingwen, what time is it now?" She felt that she could fall asleep immediately with her eyes closed.

"Lady, the sky is about to brighten, you should rest."

Dawn?

Su Pan’er looked out the window in surprise.

"Today is already the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching," Qingwen hurriedly added.

"Several days have already passed!"

Su Pan’er muttered to herself. She hadn’t expected to be so busy that she lost track of time, and then another thought popped into her mind: "What’s the current situation in the Capital City, and is there any news from the Marquis?"
