Chapter 267 Should I tell Empress Dowager Xie who Su Jixue is?
Empress Dowager Xie knew about Su Jixue's arrival at the Cining Palace. She thought for a moment and said, "Take Miss Su to the pharmacy."
At this moment, Empress Dowager Xie already knew everything that happened in the palace tonight, including that Princess Fengyi had been taken away by Prince Zhan.
Empress Dowager Xie originally thought that it would be impossible, but now that Su Jixue stepped into the Cining Palace, she would no longer let Su Jixue go out easily.
This is the last spirit race that Empress Dowager Xie knows, and the only one she can possibly borrow power from.
After Su Jixue rescues Zongkui, Empress Dowager Xie will make sure she never returns.
Su Jixue realized something was wrong after entering the Cining Palace. It was not like when she came here before, when it felt loose on the outside and tight on the inside, at least on the surface.
But now, an inexplicable feeling of depression arises spontaneously, which is a conditioned reflex to the crisis.
There is an ambush in the Queen Mother's palace.
Su Jixue glanced at Chunya lightly. In fact, Chunya's hair back also felt a little tight, and she felt the murderous aura.
"Miss Su, the Queen Mother asked you to go to the medicine room and wait first." This time it was Aunt Ziwei who came to lead the way, but her attitude was much more respectful than before.
Su Jixue used her strength to demonstrate what it meant to be untouchable.
"That's fine." Su Jixue pretended to look at the sky and said, "After all, it's almost dawn and it's too late."
The medicine room specially built by Empress Dowager Xie is actually a side hall.
The moment she stepped in here, Su Jixue's heart trembled slightly, because there was a pile of broken furnace pieces in one corner, and the blood-red color looked a little shocking.
This should be the cauldron used for refining the elixir before.
Su Jixue could feel her heart palpitating when she saw these fragments. These should be the fragments of the exploding furnace.
The pill made from Ji Xue's heart was absorbed by Su Jixue before it became a pill.
Empress Dowager Xie did not clean up the fragments and let her see them. Su Jixue withdrew her gaze and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
It seems... Empress Dowager Xie is planning something against her again.
Su Jixue had an idea in mind, and the eunuch behind him had already put down the medicine taken from Emperor Ming's warehouse.
Aunt Ziwei pointed to a row of small jars in the corner of the medicine room with an unpleasant expression: "This contains the spiritual blood that Miss Su needs."
Su Jixue took a glance and saw that there were six small jars. It seemed that Empress Dowager Xie had a lot of stock, at least more than Su Jixue had imagined.
Su Jixue said nothing more, and rolled up her sleeves little by little: "Then please trouble Aunt Ziwei to leave first. I am going to start preparing the medicine. It is a secret recipe that cannot be passed on to anyone."
Ziwei looked at Su Jixue deeply, and wanted to say something, but finally she shut up and left with all the palace maids in the medicine room.
Chunya immediately closed the door of the medicine room vigilantly.
Su Jixue then walked over to the pile of debris. Although the cauldron had exploded, because the best natural materials and treasures were used in the cauldron, there was still very rich spiritual energy overflowing from these fragments.
And these spiritual energies come from the same source as hers.
Su Jixue's fingers moved slightly, and she casually formed a Soul Induction Technique. Instantly, all the spiritual energy originally attached to the fragments was now channeled into Su Jixue's body through the Soul Induction Technique.
Comfortable.
This is the spiritual power that originally belonged to her.
Now we return to the origin.
Although Chunya didn't know what Su Jixue was doing, she stared at the outside intently, helping Su Jixue keep an eye out for anyone peeping around. Su Jixue probably didn't want anyone to know what she was doing, so she was doing her duty as a maid.
At this moment, Zong Kui had also arrived at the Cining Palace, and he went directly to see Empress Dowager Xie.
"Do you know who you let go?!" Empress Dowager Xie's face darkened the moment she saw Zong Kui.
"Is it important?" Zong Kui was completely unconcerned. He said calmly, "Since Prince Zhan already knows that I am in the cold palace, it is inevitable that this person will not be able to hide."
Who that woman was and why she was in the cold palace was already determined the moment the War King led his men to surround the cold palace.
"So, how did the news leak out?" Empress Dowager Xie was a little confused. This was something that she couldn't figure out. After all, it was impossible for the people in her palace to leak such information.
"Heh." Zong Kui couldn't help but snort coldly.
Empress Dowager Xie really shouldn't have asked him this.
After all, no matter what, it was absolutely impossible for him to leak this matter. It could only be that Su Jixue saw through Empress Dowager Xie's clues.
You have to know that Ji Xue's brain is extremely smart.
"I don't believe that Nanny Jiang would leak it." Empress Dowager Xie looked at Zong Kui with some suspicion: "Su Jixue said that it was Nanny Jiang who leaked it."
Now, Nanny Jiang is dead, so no one knows what the truth is.
Even Empress Dowager Xie was actually wondering if it was really Nanny Jiang who did it. After all, Nanny Jiang's personality was really unpredictable.
"It can't be her." Zong Kui said with certainty. You have to know that Su Jixue is Ji Xue, so she must be good at finding clues and then turning the tables.
If Su Jixue said it was Nanny Jiang, then it definitely wasn't her.
Moreover, it is very likely that Nanny Jiang discovered something.
Zong Kui suddenly remembered what Nanny Jiang said about Ji Xue's soul appearing beside him. Zong Kui's eyes flashed. Could it be that Su Ji Xue's soul could leave her body at will?!
He couldn't help being shocked.
This is definitely an ability that Ji Xue never had before. If this is the case, it means that for Ji Xue, no matter what she wants to know, there will no longer be any secrets.
"You kept Su Jixue in the palace before?" Zong Kui knew about Su Jixue's entry into the palace, and thinking about the timeline, he asked, "Did she have any contact with Madam Jiang?"
It is very likely that Nanny Jiang has discovered something.
"At that time, Nanny Jiang was very dissatisfied with her." Empress Dowager Xie recalled, then called Jin Ning and Zi Wei over: "Have Nanny Jiang and Su Jixue ever had any private contact?"
Aunt Jin Ning thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Madam Jiang barged in when Miss Su was resting. There might have been a small dispute."
But no one knows the details.
"What do you know?" Empress Dowager Xie looked at Zong Kui suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with Su Jixue's identity?"
Empress Dowager Xie thought for a moment before continuing, "In fact, she might be a spirit."
Empress Dowager Xie did not say anything final, because both Empress Dowager Xie and Zong Kui actually knew that all the spirits in this world had been killed, and only Empress Dowager Xie was still alive.
Zong Kui frowned slightly and glanced at Empress Dowager Xie. She must have noticed something was wrong.
In fact, Su Jixue's identity is not only inappropriate, it should not exist.
This is the reason why Nanny Jiang chased Su Jixue in the palace. She probably knew Su Jixue's identity.
But Empress Dowager Xie still doesn't know this identity.
Zong Kui was quickly weighing in his mind whether or not to tell Empress Dowager Xie who Su Jixue was.
It's already done.
