Cai Wei lifted her head, her gaze chilly, and her tone frosty as ice.
"Your Majesty, I hope that you remember, I have three months. During these three months, you must ensure the safety of my family."
Jin Guifei agreed instantly. In her view, since Cai Wei did not refuse her request, she must have agreed. As long as she could eliminate the threat that was King Qin, she would not mind playing the ’kind person’ for three months, allowing their whole family to live for another three months...
When Cai Wei left the Silk Palace, Virtuous Consort Huo was still kneeling in the courtyard of the palace, her body swaying slightly, but she nevertheless insisted on remaining kneeling there.
Outside the palace gate, Huan Qiu and Dou Momo, anxiously waiting for her, were relieved to see her return safely.
"Miss, did Noble Concubine Jin make things difficult for you?"
Although she appeared serious, Dou Momo was in fact a kindhearted person in reality. After spending several days with Cai Wei, she found that her master was very easy to get along with, and therefore devoted herself wholeheartedly towards Cai Wei’s well-being.
Huan Qiu didn’t utter a word, but her usually icy face softened significantly and even the corner of her lips slightly curled upwards. It seemed that she too was worried about the safety of her master.
"I’m fine, Dou Momo, Huan Qiu, sorry for making you worry." Cai Wei smiled and got into the carriage.
Dou Momo and Huan Qiu also got in. Dou Momo muttered under her breath, "Let’s hurry back. Our Madam must be worried..."
Upon returning to Bishui Villa, Lady Du was pacing anxiously at the entrance. She repeatedly looked out at the gate. When she saw Cai Wei return safely, Lady Du was overjoyed, her expression was as if she had found a treasure. Even before Cai Wei got out of the carriage, she quickly asked, "Wei’er, did the Empress make things difficult for you? Did she mention the marriage alliance again? Can we now live our lives peacefully?"
Cai Wei got out of the carriage, supporting her mother’s arm while walking towards the Huifang Garden, all the while answering her mother’s questions.
"Mother, you don’t have to worry, Noble Concubine Jin treated me very well and did not make things difficult for me. The matter of the marriage alliance is in the past, and our Great Jin Nation has already married Princess Zhao Yang off to them. From now on, there won’t be any issues regarding a marriage alliance. We, the whole family, will be able to live our lives in peace..."
After hearing her words, Lady Du was absolutely delighted. She couldn’t help but smile brightly, "That’s really good! From now on, our whole family can live peacefully. There is nothing better than this!"
Cai Wei led her mother to her bedroom to rest. Before exiting the room, her eyes fell as she softly said, "Mother, I’ll make sure our family lives a peaceful life. And anyone who dares to trouble us, I will make sure they have no peace!"
She had sent Brother Parrot in to scout the Silk Palace for Noble Concubine Jin’s security measures. If it could be helped, she wouldn’t mind sneaking into the Palace at night and killing her personally.
However, the information Brother Parrot brought back was not optimistic. The plan to assassinate her at night seemed quite difficult to execute.
"Master, there are dozens of hidden guards around the Silk Palace, all top tier experts. Unless we can take them all down at once, infiltrating the place would be futile!"
Cai Wei massaged the center of her brows, feeling troubled. She remembered when she lived in the palace, she had snuck into Empress Mo’s palace once. At that time, there wasn’t a single hidden guard in Empress Mo’s palace, allowing her to enter freely. She didn’t expect that when it came to Noble Concubine Jin’s palace, she couldn’t even get past the entrance, let alone commit murder.
