699 Madam Tan Enters the Palace, Mighty Consort Yun (3)

Eunuch Wang smiled faintly. “I’m not here to ask for Madam’s instructions. His Majesty has decreed that you should enter the palace. Whether you’re Mrs. Helian or Linghui, please follow me to the palace.”

Eunuch Wang was also a eunuch with a rank, but the Madam of the Helian family had a noble status. Even if she became a nun, he did not really think that she was a lowly wife. However, no matter how powerful Madam Tan was, she could not resist the decree.

Madam Tan lowered her eyes and paused. She whispered, “Please wait a moment, Eunuch Wang. I’ll go change my clothes.”

“Hey, where are you going? You haven’t even fetched water!” The young nun grabbed her.

!!

“Insolence!” Eunuch Wang shouted sternly. The young nun trembled in fear and let go of Madam Tan.

Madam Tan changed into a clean cloth shirt, took off her straw shoes, and put on plain cloth shoes. Her nobility was engraved in her bones, and the coarse linen clothes also had a calm and luxurious bearing. She walked unhurriedly to the door of the nunnery. “Eunuch Wang, let’s go.”

Eunuch Wang bowed and stretched out his hand. “Madam, please.”

“You… you can’t… Ah—”

Before the young nun could finish her sentence, Eunuch Wang slapped her away with his horsetail whisk.

The old nun had gone to town to buy rice and food. When she returned to the nunnery, only the young nun was left in the courtyard. She frowned and said, “Where’s Linghui?”

The young nun covered her swollen face and said, “A eunuch surnamed Wang came from the palace and took her away!”

“What?” The old nun’s expression changed. “Are you sure his surname is Wang?”

The young nun nodded pitifully. He had already hurt her. How could she not remember his surname? The young nun said, “I heard it with my own ears. Linghui called him Eunuch Wang! Linghui seems to know him. Aunt, who is he?”

Who else could the eunuch surnamed Wang be? He was the Emperor’s trusted eunuch!

The old nun’s heart sank. “Oh no! It’s all over now!”

“What’s over?” The young nun asked in confusion.

She only knew that Linghui was the madam of the Helian family and was imprisoned here because she had committed a crime. However, she did not know that the person who imprisoned Madam Tan was not from the Helian family. She thought that she and the old nun were under the orders of Old Mrs. Helian to guard Madam Tan day and night and even wanted to “teach” her a lesson.

The old nun did not have the time to care about her. She returned to her room to take the silver and immediately took the carriage to send the rice and food back to the nunnery. She paid the other party some more silver and asked him to drive the carriage to the State Preceptor Hall.

“Who is it?”

The old nun rushed in rashly and was stopped by the guards guarding the door.

The old nun hurriedly took out the token at her waist and handed it to the guard. “I want to see the State Preceptor!”

The guard recognized this token. It was the highest-level token in the State Preceptor Hall. Other than Wan Feng, he had never seen anyone else with it. Those who could hold it were the State Preceptor’s most trusted people.

Unfortunately, the State Preceptor was in seclusion.

The guard looked at her and said, “The State Preceptor is in seclusion. Come back another day. Or you can stay here. I’ll arrange a room for you.”

How could this be? It was an urgent matter! If they delayed for a while, the sky would collapse!

The old nun said anxiously, “Can you pass the message? I really have something urgent! Look at this token. When the State Preceptor gave it to me that day, he said that as long as I came to look for him with the token, I could see him at any time!”

“This…” This was true. This kind of token could allow them to see the State Preceptor, but… before the State Preceptor went into seclusion, he had instructed them not to disturb him.

The old nun’s face darkened. “This concerns the life and death of the State Preceptor Hall! If anything really happens, can you bear the blame if the State Preceptor blames you?”

The guard scratched his head awkwardly. “Alright, I’ll help you pass the message. However, I can’t guarantee that the State Preceptor will see you.”

The old nun quickly urged, “Go quickly! The State Preceptor will definitely see me!”

The guard took the token and went to the forbidden area where the State Preceptor was in seclusion to explain the situation to the sacrificial soldiers guarding the forbidden area.

“The State Preceptor said not to disturb him,” the sacrificial soldier said.

The guard explained, “I know, but that nun said that there’s really something important. No matter what, show the token to the State Preceptor first.”

The sacrificial soldier brought the token and entered the secret room. The secret room had two floors. The outer layer was guarded by Wan Feng, and the innermost layer was the State Preceptor.

The sacrificial soldier gave the token to Wan Feng. “An old nun requests an audience with the State Preceptor.”

“Old nun?” Wan Feng touched his chin. His eyes flashed and he pretended to say, “I’ll accept the token. Tell her to wait! My master is at a critical juncture in seclusion. If he’s disturbed, he’ll go crazy!”

The old nun had hit a nail. She had no choice but to rush to the palace. She also had the token of the palace. She saw the Empress.

“What did you say? His Majesty summoned Madam Tan to the palace? Why didn’t you inform me first of such an important matter? Why did you go to the State Preceptor Hall!!!” The Empress was so angry that she was about to explode.

The old nun thought that if the State Preceptor took action, he would be able to stop them on the way. This thought was originally flawless, but no one expected the State Preceptor to be in seclusion. When she went to the State Preceptor Hall, Madam Tan had already been led into the palace by Eunuch Wang.

Madam Tan did not dare to betray them because the Empress was favored and the State Preceptor was heavily relied on by the Emperor. The Helian family could not defeat them, but what if the person who made Madam Tan betray them was the Emperor? Could the Emperor not defeat the Empress and the State Preceptor Hall?

If Madam Tan didn’t have any worries, their secret wouldn’t be kept.

“Quick! Prepare to go to the imperial study!”

The Empress got into the carriage and took a small path to rush to the imperial study as quickly as possible. When she alighted from the carriage, Madam Tan was being led by Eunuch Wang from another path.

She only had to tell Madam Tan that Helian Sheng was in her hands and she would not spout nonsense. It did not matter if Helian Sheng was really in her hands because Madam Tan was in the palace and could not verify it. She could bet that she did not catch Helian Sheng, but the Empress was confident that Madam Tan would not bet her son’s life.

This was something no mother in the world would do, let alone a mother like Madam Tan who was even greater than ordinary women.

The Empress had an idea and was no longer as flustered as before. As long as she could stabilize Madam Tan now, she would have her own way in the future!

The Empress took a deep breath and looked coldly at Madam Tan and Eunuch Wang walking over. However, just as she was about to speak, Consort Yun appeared behind her and picked up the stick in her hand.

Smack!

Consort Yun jumped up and knocked the Empress unconscious with a stick!
