Dressed as the villain's stepmother

There was a "crackling" sound in the house, and Jiang Lianzhu stopped in her tracks knowingly. She was a little uncertain for a moment, not knowing whether she should go in or not.

"What kind of ability does that loser have? Not only did he happen to find a witness, but he was able to make so many ministers treat him differently! He is a cripple! If my father hadn't handed over the case to him, how could he have such good luck!"

"Having gained a little power, you dare to show your face to this prince without even looking at what he is!"

"Yu'er, calm down." Amid the curses from the third prince, Concubine Xi's voice sounded, "You are a person who does big things, how can you be so impatient?"

After saying these words, the sound of smashing and cursing in the house seemed to have been stopped by someone, and there was suddenly no sound in the house.

Jiang Lianzhu sighed softly. It was not easy to go in directly. She found a palace attendant to report inside. She waited for a while and received the summons from Imperial Concubine Xi before entering.

The third prince has returned to his usual gentle appearance. The room has been tidied up, but there are fewer objects and it is much empty.

"Lianzhu is here." Concubine Xi smiled at her as if nothing happened, "He came so early today."

The third prince and Concubine Xi were sitting at the table, with Fenxiang standing by with a low eyebrow.The tea set placed on the red sandalwood table was obviously different from the tea set that I was used to seeing in the past. The teapot was still steaming now, as if the tea had just been brewed.

Jiang Lianzhu seemed not to know that she had caught the palace man just now at random in the yard. She did not know that she had been listening outside for a while. Facing the inquiring eyes of the third prince and Concubine Xi, Jiang Lianzhu seemed not to know. A smiling face.

"Mother, my son, please go back and do the homework assigned by Master." The third prince put down the tea cup and said with a smile.

"Go." Concubine Xi waved her hand.

After the third prince left, Jiang Lianzhu placed the medicine box on the table: "My Lady, I will take your pulse."

"Yes." Concubine Xi responded and stretched out her hand.

These hands exuded pampering, they were slender and white, with delicate skin that could be broken by a blow.

Concubine Xi lowered her eyes and admired it for a while, and then she spoke calmly: "Did Lianzhu just arrive? The kid was having a tantrum just now. Don't be too surprised."

She got straight to the point, without any intention of probing, and regardless of whether she really didn't hear her, she just made it clear.

"It's normal for a child to have a temper." Jiang Lianzhu disagreed, knowing that he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't do Tai Chi with her.

Concubine Xi was stroking the tea cup with her other hand and smiled secretly.

"Your Majesty's body is still the same as before. Just pay more attention to rest on weekdays." After taking her pulse, Jiang Lianzhu said.

"Lianzhu, what do you think of the Third Prince?" She was about to resign when Concubine Xi said something unexpectedly.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled slightly and said without missing a beat: "The daughter of the people thinks that the third prince is generous and filial to his empress. He is an excellent child."

"Then do you think he has the talent to govern the country? Can he take on the great responsibility of the country? What is Mr. Liao's impression of the third prince?" Concubine Xi played with the Dankou in her hand, pretending to be casual, "Lianzhu also thinks that the third prince He is a generous man, and if the third prince succeeds in the future, he will definitely not forget you and Master Liao, right?"

Are you trying to win them over?Jiang Lianzhu still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't hear what she meant.

"My Majesty, don't worry too much. It's not good for your health. Who in the court doesn't know the third prince's character and ability? You, please don't worry so much."

Concubine Xi was not annoyed after being blocked by Jiang Lianzhu. She changed the subject: "My father will return to Beijing to report on his work recently. My uncle works in the Ministry of Punishment. I will ask my father to use the Bai family's connections to help investigate. Clues to the Prince Xiang case."

Jiang Lianzhu originally wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to negotiate any terms with Concubine Xi. After all, she didn't want to get involved in the war to seize the rightful son, and she didn't want Liao Yunchuan to be influenced by her for no reason and get involved.But then I thought about it, Concubine Xi must not have thought that Prince Xiang's Mansion had this ambition, otherwise she would not have allowed her to have a close relationship with Prince Xiang's Mansion while also allowing her to keep her illness confidential and treated.

If the truth comes out and Prince Xiang's house is found to be innocent, it will undoubtedly be a blow to the eldest prince. This is what the third prince would like to see, and it is not all for her sake.And with Prince Xiang and the others under the care of the Bai family in the Punishment Department, they would not be too miserable in the prison.

"Then thank you very much, your Majesty, and please take care of Prince Xiang's Mansion a little more." Jiang Lianzhu did not refuse.

Fortunately, Concubine Xi did not make any other requests. She just rubbed her eyebrows and showed a little tiredness: "That's natural. You can go back. I'm a little tired."

"Yes."

After she left, Concubine Xi slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sharp and cold: "Fennel, go make another soup."

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang said that the medicine is [-]% poisonous. You cannot drink too much of this decoction." Hearing this, Fenxiang reminded him aloud.

"It's okay. Once the third prince becomes successful, I can rest in peace." Concubine Xi sighed slowly, "You go ahead and boil the medicine. It doesn't matter."

Unable to defeat her, Fenxiang had no choice but to do as she said.

Having already entered the palace, Jiang Lianzhu was not in a hurry to go back and went directly to the East Palace to visit Liao Xiaoping.

The palace man took her to an empty courtyard, where she saw two figures entangled together in the empty space.

Liao Xiaoping held a long sword in his hand and was fighting with a guard. Although he was obviously still at a disadvantage, his face was serious and calm, without any trace of impetuousness.

Liao Xiaoping had always only loved reading and not practicing martial arts. Jiang Lianzhu was a little surprised when she suddenly saw him sparring.

Not far away, the prince was wearing a thick coat, holding a heater, sitting under the plane tree and looking at them with a smile in his eyes. There were two palace attendants holding umbrellas standing beside him.

"Madam is here." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of someone approaching. The prince turned his head and gave Jiang Lianzhu a friendly smile.

I saw another side of the third prince in the imperial concubine's palace. Now I saw the prince's indifferent smile, and I couldn't help but feel comfortable. I suddenly felt that he and the third prince were two completely different people.

"In such a cold weather, the prince must not stay outside for too long." Jiang Lianzhu said with concern.

"No problem, I just came to watch Xiao Ping practice martial arts. After watching for a while, he went back to rest." The prince said.

Soon, Liao Xiaoping was pinned down in the snow, stood up, patted the snow on his body, and came over here with his sword in hand.

"Mom, you're here." A faint smile appeared on his handsome face, and then he looked at the prince, with a hint of reproach in his tone, "The prince has finished reading, you should go back and have a good rest. Don't be so careless about yourself. body."
