The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 454: He... How is it?

"Empress..."

Leng Mei walked to Jiang Wantang's side, bowed, and lowered her voice to a very low voice: "The man outside the palace said that the matter is of great importance and he wants to meet the queen in person to plead his case..."

Leng Mei paused as she spoke, then pulled out a white jade token from her sleeve and presented it to Jiang Wantang.

The moment Jiang Wantang saw the white jade token, his eyes trembled violently.

This token was not unfamiliar to her. She had seen similar ones on Shi Feng and Shi Lin, but the patterns were different.

As if he thought of something, Jiang Wantang's eyes flashed and he stood up suddenly.

"Where is the person?" she asked anxiously.

The palace maid behind him was so frightened that she accidentally pulled out a few strands of hair and quickly knelt on the ground to apologize.

Jiang Wantang raised his hand, motioning for her to stand up.

"It's the morning court period now, and I'm afraid it will be too conspicuous outside the palace..." Leng Mei leaned in and whispered, "So I placed the people in the carriage outside the corner gate to wait."

Jiang Wantang handed his Phoenix Order to Leng Mei and instructed her, "Take my Phoenix Order and go there in person to bring the person to Fengqi Palace."

"Yes." Leng Mei accepted the order and retreated.

After Leng Mei left, Jiang Wantang walked out of the bedroom and dismissed all the palace servants in the main hall.

Not long after, Leng Mei came in, leading a burly, dark-complexioned middle-aged man and an old woman over fifty years old.

Jiang Wantang put down the teacup in her hand and frowned subconsciously when she saw the person coming.

She originally thought it was Shi Feng or Shi Lin who came, so the greeting on her lips turned into a cold, "Who are you?"

The dark-complexioned middle-aged man glanced at Leng Mei who was standing beside Jiang Wantang, and Jiang Wantang instantly understood what he meant.

She said to Leng Mei, "Go down first. I'll call you if there's anything."

Leng Mei glanced at the two strange people in the hall and felt a little worried, but it was difficult for her to refute, so she could only obey the order and retreat.

After Leng Mei left, only Jiang Wantang, the middle-aged man and the old woman were left in the huge hall.

Jiang Wantang's deep eyes looked at the two people in the hall calmly.

Although both of them were dressed like country farmers, their awe-inspiring aura was definitely not that of ordinary farmers.

Obviously, it was disguised.

In the hall, the two were also looking at Jiang Wantang.

The middle-aged man had a pair of black eyes, as sharp as an eagle, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Especially the way he looked at Jiang Wantang was a bit aggressive and not very friendly.

But the old woman was the exact opposite.

Jiang Wantang had long noticed that there was something wrong with the way she looked at him.

From the moment she entered the hall and saw her, the old woman's eyes never left her.

A pair of cloudy eyes trembled slightly when looking at Jiang Wantang, as if he saw an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Old friend?

Jiang Wantang had a strong intuition that these two people must have something she wanted to know.

She curled her lips slightly, looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, and said lightly: "There are only three of us left in the entire hall now. Are you not going to take off your disguise?"

The middle-aged man chuckled when he heard this, but no emotion could be heard from his expression.

Then, he raised his hands and took off the wig on his head and the mask on his face... one by one, revealing a familiar face.

"Uncle Snake?" Jiang Wantang murmured.

She had seen this man next to Ji Wuwang before, and vaguely remembered that those people called him "Uncle Snake".

Just when Jiang Wantang wanted to ask about Ji Wuwang's recent situation, the latter sneered.

He said, "Your Majesty is so precious, I, a commoner, don't deserve to be called 'Uncle Snake'."

Jiang Wantang looked at Uncle Snake's sinister eyes and knew full well his malice and sarcasm towards her.

He was originally a close confidant of Brother Xiaoqi. Now he was watching Brother Xiaoqi, a living person, sleeping in Foguang Temple because of her, and he didn't know when he would wake up. It was inevitable that he felt sad.

At the same time, they will also vent their anger on her as the culprit.

Jiang Wantang ignored his sarcasm and asked, "How is he...?"

Uncle Snake snorted coldly and said angrily, "Don't people send you reports every day? Why are you asking me?"

yes......

But she was still looking forward to hearing some different news.

Jiang Wantang lowered his brows and said nothing.

Seeing this, the old woman on the side hurriedly pushed away Uncle Snake who was standing in front of her. With a crisp "pa" sound, the old woman's skinny palm slapped Uncle Snake's back heavily.

"You're courting death!" The old woman twisted his arm again and cursed, "You little bastard! You're old, and you're still bullying little girls!"

"Besides, don't you see who you are bullying?"

"I'm asking you a question, answer it properly!"

After saying that, the old woman didn't wait for Uncle Snake to react. She ran to Jiang Wantang eagerly, took her hand and looked left and right.

"picture!"

“It’s so similar!”

"picture......"

As she watched and spoke, the old woman suddenly became choked with sobs and could not speak. Tears welled up in her wrinkled eyes...

The sudden change caught Jiang Wantang off guard.

She looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise.

The old woman clenched her hands tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and kept repeating words like "like what".

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and at one point he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

There was an inexplicable sense of intimacy in the old woman's eyes as she looked at her, as if an elder was looking at a younger one with loving care.

Jiang Wantang took her hand and sat down beside her, pouring her a cup of tea to help the old lady calm down her excitement.

At this time, Uncle Snake, who was standing opposite them, took the initiative to speak.

He cleared his throat a few times, his tone still cold and hard: "The spies sent by the Empress do know how to choose places to investigate."

"One by one, they all fell into the traps I had set up. There were sixty-seven of them in total."

"My men apprehended them all and tortured them severely, until they confessed the very things you are investigating."

In short, your people have found their way into my hands.

Jiang Wantang had been relatively calm, but after hearing Uncle She's words, she looked at him in surprise and astonishment, "It was you...?"

Uncle Snake sneered at her and didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "The prince left so many elite secret guards and spies for you in the capital, why don't you use them?"

"Those people have been rigorously trained. They are many times stronger than yours."

Jiang Wantang smiled and said in a cold tone, "It's not important. You didn't risk coming here today just to tell me this."

"In that case, why not be frank and tell us your intentions?"

Seeing how transparent and frank she was, Uncle Snake's prejudice and contempt for her were reduced a little.

In fact, from the moment he faced the palace gate until now, he had been testing Jiang Wantang step by step.
