“Quick, catch her!”

“Go over there. Don’t let her escape.”

Near the pool, the imperial guards and eunuchs chased after a person with a

crane in each of her hands.

The scene was completely chaotic.

“Stop.” On the rockery, Shen Yijia panted as she looked at the people surrounding the rockery below. She raised her hands and threatened, “If you take another step, I’ll strangle them to death.”

The crane seemed to sense danger and kept flapping its wings. Its mouth was wide open, but its neck was in someone else’s hand and it could not make a

sound.

“No, you can’t.” A slightly plump eunuch was helped up. He walked to the front of the crowd and looked up, panting. “Madam Song, you can’t. The crane in your hand is a divine crane. You can’t kill it. If you kill it, your lifespan will be shortened.”

This person was Eunuch Yu, the eldest eunuch beside Empress Dowager Zhou. His status in the palace was not inferior to Wu Zhengde.

Noticing that one of the cranes was bleeding, Eunuch Yu’s heart trembled. He quickly grabbed one of his men to prevent him from fainting. Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “What crane? Aren’t there just two fat geese?” As she spoke, she waved her hand.

These two cranes were unlucky. Shen Yijia was hiding in the rockery eating when they suddenly flew over and pecked at her, knocking over the food she had just taken two bites of.

How dare they pluck fur from a tiger’s head? Of course she caught them.

If not for the fact that she had been discovered as soon as she hit them, these two would have been roasted over the fire by now.

The fat on Eunuch Yu’s face trembled with the crane that was swaying in the air. He revealed an expression that was uglier than crying. “Oh my, that’s not a goose. It’s a crane, a divine bird.”

The crane symbolized longevity. The older one was, the more they believed in these things.

It was obvious how much Empress Dowager Zhou treasured these two divine birds. Not only did she give them names, but she also ordered him, the chief eunuch, to personally raise them and serve them.

At this juncture, Empress Dowager Zhou had already suffered a blow because of Lord Jing’An. If she knew that the cranes had been killed, the entire Imperial Hospital would probably move into the Longevity Palace.

“It’s clearly a goose. Don’t think that I won’t recognize it just because its feet are longer.” Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. “Are you saying that I’m ignorant?”

“Oh my, it’s really…” Upon receiving the dangerous signal, Eunuch Yu quickly changed his words. “If you say it’s a goose, it’s a goose. Can you let go first?”

Crane thought, “So we’re called geese.”

Shen Yijia grinned. “No.”

However…

Eunuch Yu was delighted. He heard her continue, “Since you said that they’re geese, it shouldn’t matter if I eat them, right? At most, I’ll get my husband to compensate you with ten geese.”

She looked like she didn’t want to be grateful to him.

Eunuch Yu was speechless.

Unable to be soft, his face darkened. “Madam Song, you have to think carefully. You’re in a bad situation to begin with. Not only did you not restrain yourself, but you also acted recklessly and pestered me endlessly.”

Now, she even wanted to kill the divine cranes raised by the empress dowager. If the empress dowager blamed her, could she really bear the consequences?

“I’m not trying to scare you. When the time comes, not to mention you, even your husband will lose his head.”

“I’m so afraid.” Shen Yijia wanted to pat her chest, but she realized that her hands were full. She snorted. “You said that my situation is bad, so what am I afraid of? Even if my husband can catch the real culprit five days later, I’ll be the orphan of the scumbag. Is your Empress Dowager going to kill her granddaughter for two fat geese? Aren’t you afraid that the scumbag will go to her dream to settle scores with her? If my husband can’t catch the real culprit, that’s even simpler. I’m about to die. I only have one head. Why would I be afraid?”

She did not think that they would let her beautiful husband off alone. Eunuch Yu thought, “That seems to make sense!”

Shen Yijia smiled. “So do you think salt baked is better or simmered in a griddle? Or stir-fried? Or roasted by fire?”

Eunuch Yu was speechless.

Shen Yijia thought for a while and nodded to herself. “These two geese are so fat. I think I can try all of those.”

Seeing that she was about to twist the crane’s neck, Eunuch Yu panicked.

“Stop,” a voice snapped.

Shen Yijia looked over and saw Empress Dowager Zhou’s phoenix carriage quickly approaching. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of her.

As soon as the phoenix carriage stopped, Eunuch Yu went forward and helped Empress Dowager Zhou down.

“Let go of the crane.” Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Shen Yijia angrily..
