Chapter 1976: Chapter 1914: A Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows

Empress Song ’died’, the fire in the Cold Palace was extinguished, and several corpses were dragged out from inside, one of them being Empress Song.

Wufu was a bit skeptical, it was too coincidental, she didn’t die earlier or later, but died after Lu Shenxing’s death, when Emperor Yan, Empress Dowager Mo, and others moved to another palace for recuperation?

Regarding this, Wufu expressed her doubts to Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu said, "Her days in the Cold Palace were not easy. Consort Lan and Worthy Consort would not spare her, both had some minor moves, though she managed to evade them, but it was enough to make her collapse, dragging it out until now is not surprising."

"There’s the problem, if she could dodge so many overt and covert attacks, how did she fail to escape this fire? Don’t you think this fire is more like a cover-up? Burning people so they’re unrecognizable, seemingly real yet fake, it’s just..." Wufu shrugged.

Ah Jiu frowned and said, "Are you implying she faked her death? Does she have that capability?"

"She doesn’t, but Lu Shenxing does," Wufu replied. "Lu Shenxing could build up and strengthen the Eight Directions Fortress and trained so many skilled people. Don’t forget, the ones who tried to assassinate you before were from there! If Lu Shenxing was truly devoted to her, wouldn’t he have made preparations for her escape route?"

Thanks to Emperor Yan, Commander Zhao was sent to annihilate the Eight Directions Fortress, and as the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, a small leader, fearing death, revealed many secrets, including the assassination attempt on Ah Jiu, which was orchestrated by them, though the reason remained unknown, it was Lu Shenxing’s intention.

No doubt, this was aimed at Ah Jiu, with the real target being Empress Dowager Mo. If Ah Jiu died, wouldn’t Empress Dowager Mo be devastated?

Empress Song truly hated Empress Dowager Mo and Emperor Yan, hence she did many things!

Ah Jiu, with hands behind his back, said, "Your words do have some logic."

Like the saying, ’A clever rabbit has three burrows,’ if it were him, he would prepare an escape route, only to be used in utter desperation.

"Damn. If that’s really the case, could she go find Royal Mother and the others?" Ah Jiu suddenly paused.

"I think this route won’t have many people," Wufu shook his head, "The Eight Directions Fortress is already gone. You probably know how many people were there. Several assassination attempts and the big event at the Imperial Jue Temple, how could there be anyone left? I think, even if there is a route, it’s probably only a path to save Empress Song’s life. If she finds a secretive place to hide, living under an assumed name, she might survive peacefully. But if she uses the escape route given by Lu Shenxing to do something rash, then she is overestimating herself and courting death!"

Usually, such an escape route doesn’t involve many people, as too many would be conspicuous, but surely they’re elite, prepared with gold and silver treasures to ensure her safe emergence without worrying about food or clothing, it’s considered quite good.

But if she uses these people to take revenge, it can only be said she’s stirring trouble, heading towards a dead end.

If Empress Song is wise, she should know what to choose, we’ll see if she’s smart and won’t disappoint Lu Shenxing’s deep feelings for her.

"Can’t be too careless. I need to send a message to another palace to strengthen vigilance," Ah Jiu said solemnly.

"Fine, but it’s best not to make a public announcement, making the other side believe we think she’s dead, only then she’ll show herself, and we can track her." Wufu said, "Moreover, this is just speculation, whether that female corpse is truly Empress Song still needs verification. Wasn’t she pregnant? The coroner can examine and find out!"

Ah Jiu’s eyes brightened, "I’ll go right away!"

Wufu nodded with a smile, waited for his departure before resuming discussions with Purple Jade, with the arrival of spring, her uncle and the others came, needing to find a good residence.
