After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 938 - 933: The Deposed Empress

Nanny Li knelt on the ground like a puddle of mud, having long forgotten to plead for mercy, completely consumed by fear.

She hadn’t expected her attempt to kill Nanny Zhou to silence her would fall into Su Jin’s trap.

And this trap was tailor-made for her.

Yesterday’s haunting at Chaohua Palace planted seeds of suspicion in her mind, leading her to the palace under the guise of a summons from the Empress, step by step.

The words from the eunuchs who passed on the message were all meticulously planned by Su Jin.

Nanny Li arriving at Chaohua Palace indicated her plan was successful.

And then there was Eunuch Fu, who, at Su Jin’s request for help, assisted willingly.

Early in the morning, Su Jin sent two large chests into the palace, instructing Eunuch Fu to have them carried into Chaohua Palace. After court adjourned, she had the Emperor and Left and Right Ministers enter through the palace’s back door.

Poor Eunuch Fu, who mustered great courage to allow the Emperor to enter through the back door.

Furthermore, the back door of Chaohua Palace wasn’t easily accessible, as it was a part of the Forbidden Palace. The lock was rusted and hadn’t been opened for over a decade, and the key wouldn’t turn for quite some time.

The Emperor climbed over the wall, while the Right Minister and Left Minister were flown in by Hidden Guards.

Xingxing waited for them at Chaohua Palace.

Xingxing’s task was to keep an eye on the Emperor and ensure he didn’t storm out in anger to decapitate anyone.

The Emperor had no idea what Su Jin was scheming and asked Xingxing, who simply said, "The girl says it’s not time for her to reveal herself yet, urging the Emperor to be patient and not to speak out."

What could the Emperor do?

His daughter made him come through the back door; what could not speaking compare to that?

Fortunately, they only waited a little over a quarter of an hour before Nanny Li came in.

The Emperor’s face was brimming with murderous intent.

Although he had never planned to make the Second Prince the Crown Prince, he never imagined the Second Prince might not be his son but rather Prince Qi’s son.

All these years, the Empress Dowager and Prince Qi had indeed staged quite a show for him.

With Prince Qi having no sons, he married countless concubines in desperation. Meanwhile, Princess Qi quarreled with him repeatedly, even clashing with the Empress Dowager and the Empress who sided with her...

In the end, Princess Qi’s son was in the palace—the Second Prince!

When Duke Chong controlled the court, half of the ministers petitioned the Emperor to establish the Second Prince as Crown Prince!

Anger burned through the Emperor’s heart and lungs, nearly causing him to collapse. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He strode towards Phoenix Palace, with Eunuch Fu trailing behind, advising the Emperor to take care of his health.

The Left Minister and Right Minister hurried to catch up, along with Nanny Li, who had been captured.

The two ministers were utterly impressed by Su Jin.

Who could have guessed, with Consort Yun’s case investigated endlessly by the Emperor, he had no leads, yet the Heir’s Wife residing outside the Imperial Palace solved it, unraveling the mystery of the Second Prince’s lineage as well.

It’s a pity she’s a woman; otherwise, the Emperor wouldn’t have to worry about establishing an heir!

What impressed the ministers even more was what Su Jin did afterward. Su Jin didn’t just have Nanny Li confess to Nanny Zhou’s admissions but also produced the confessions from Nanny Zhou and Doctor Wei.

It was then everyone realized Doctor Wei was not Su Jin’s mentor but someone Su Jin suspected knew something when he left the capital years ago. Xie Jingchen devised a plan, drawing the Empress Dowager into a trap, and through her hand, summoned Doctor Wei back to the capital for questioning.

It’s often said to use someone else’s blade in strategy—an ingenious move.

But the Heir of Prince Zhenbei and Princess Consort Zhenbei passed the blade to others, allowing them to happily stab themselves twice while reveling in self-satisfaction.

A single Princess Consort Zhenbei was clever enough, but together with the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, as husband and wife, only four words can describe them—

Invincible in all directions.

Nanny Li was escorted out of Chaohua Palace, leaving palace maids and eunuchs in disbelief.

They thought Nanny Li had unlawfully entered the Forbidden Chaohua Palace and had been caught red-handed by the Emperor, hurriedly reporting to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager’s brow furrowed tightly; the Empress had summoned Nanny Li. Why wasn’t she in Phoenix Palace but instead at Chaohua Palace?!

Phoenix Palace.

The Empress was seated on the Imperial Concubine’s Couch, drinking tea.

A palace maid approached and said, "Your Majesty, Nanny Li unlawfully entered Chaohua Palace and was apprehended."

The Empress’s face remained indifferent, "What was she thinking, burdened with food, to rush to Chaohua Palace?"

"But being captured might not be such a bad thing."

In recent days, with Nanny Zhou missing, the Empress had searched high and low throughout the Imperial Palace. The Empress Dowager accused her of causing unnecessary alarm, sending Nanny Li to admonish her.

Though Nanny Li relayed the Empress Dowager’s orders, the Empress had lost all favor towards Nanny Li.

Or rather, since discovering the Empress Dowager intended to send Princess Shouning for marriage, the Empress had been thoroughly disappointed with the Empress Dowager’s faction.

Nanny Li’s misfortune pleased the Empress.

Yet the Empress had not anticipated that Nanny Li’s fire would directly burn its way to her.

The Emperor entered with overwhelming fury, and upon seeing the Emperor’s expression, the Empress knew trouble was brewing.
