"That's all, no, no, Mrs. Zhou will tell you about the deeds outside the city." After finishing speaking, Concubine De waved her hand to Bai Rui, "Take the two ladies out to play."

Bai Rui said: "Yes, empress."

"Mom, my cousin and I are going to visit the garden first. After you finish talking to the ladies, come back to us in the garden." Zhou Jiaqing said warmly.

After the two respectfully bid farewell to the two empresses, the palace maid named Bai Rui withdrew.

After Chen Xing received Zhou Jiaqing's signal, he sat down and started talking to the two empresses. However, she only chose some places to talk about. Some of the folk customs were vulgar, and a woman raised in a deep palace would not understand.

Concubine Xian and Chen Xing chatted for a while. Concubine De found it a bit boring, and her mind was not on these things.

Gardens can be seen everywhere in the harem, large and small, with different shapes. Bai Rui explained the various gardens very conscientiously. Zhou Jiaqing was not interested. She was very familiar with the corners here. Chen Xing faced Concubine De and Xian alone in the room. Concubine, she is a little anxious.

"If Miss Zhou and Miss Zhao feel tired, you can sit in the water room in front, which is prepared for the nobles who visit the garden to rest." Bai Rui saw that neither of them was listening to her explanation, so she proposed this idea.

Zhou Jiaqing nodded. As soon as he entered, he saw that tea and snacks were prepared on the table. Bai Rui had been waiting beside him, showing no intention of leaving. Even if Zhao Yunzhen wanted to talk to Zhou Jiaqing, it was inconvenient.

Fortunately, Zhao Yunzhen had practiced martial arts and his ears were more sensitive. He noticed something moving and suddenly saw something moving by. He turned around and asked Bai Rui in a low voice. Bai Rui said, "Miss Zhao, please come with me. Tuesday." Please wait a moment, young lady, your servant will be here soon.”

Zhou Jiaqing nodded.

After Zhao Yunzhen and Bai Rui walked away, the door of the Shuijiang Room was closed, and a cold voice sounded in Zhou Jiaqing's ears, with a bit of suppressed anger: "Fortunately, I'm here."

Zhou Jiaqing was slightly startled, then turned to look at a man coming out of the room. What she was curious about was not who this man was. As early as when Zhao Yunzhen said he was going to the toilet and asked the palace maid to lead the way, she also looked at Zhao Yunzhen's signal. Who was it that passed by in a flash?

What Zhou Jiaqing cares about is what Xu Jingxiao means!

After entering the palace just now, the maid led the way. Zhou Jiaqing knew that this was the way to Huaxi Palace, the residence of Concubine De, so he found an opportunity to make Zhao Yunzhen behave more reserved before entering.

If it were Concubine De, with Xu Jingxiao's men in the prison, she still didn't know that Zhou Jiaqing had gone to the prison to visit Zhou Haiyang. In this case, Concubine De's intention might be to visit the Zhao Mansion behind Zhao Yunzhen.

Zhao Yunzhen's status was a bit high for marrying the eighth prince, so Concubine De looked at Zhao Yunzhen with some pride...

"My lord, what do they want to do?" Zhou Jiaqing asked with a frown.

"The emperor wants to know what kind of person you are? So he chose two of the four concubines." Xu Jingxiao walked to where Zhao Yunzhen was just now and felt strange. Every time he was close to Zhou Jiaqing, he felt uncomfortable. Unclear pleasure.

"That's not right," Zhou Jiaqing sighed as he remembered just now, "The emperor is one thing, but Concubine De and Concubine Xian don't think so."

Xu Jingxiao came here just for this matter. Hearing what Zhou Jiaqing said, he quickly asked why.

Zhou Jiaqing told the exact conversation he had just had with the two empresses, including his own speculations up to now.

"Most of your guesses are correct," Xu Jingxiao frowned upon hearing this, "The Emperor, Concubine De and Concubine Xian have completely different thoughts. Concubine De does have the intention of wanting Zhao Yunzhen to marry the eighth prince, and she even goes to any lengths to do so. . If Zhao Yunzhen can't become her pawn, she won't be able to get out of the harem this time! However, don't worry, Ji Chengfeng has already arrived, and our people are guarding this place secretly. You don't have to worry about her safety, Ji Chengfeng Go and ask for an order!"

"Requesting a decree?" Zhou Jiaqing was a little surprised, "A marriage grant?"

Although Zhao Yunzhen thinks Ji Chengfeng is good, the two of them have not expressed anything. If they just directly offer marriage like this, will Zhao Yunzhen...

"No, even if he wants the emperor to grant him a marriage, this time is not suitable. During the last palace banquet, the emperor affirmed that General Anyuan had made a great contribution, but he did not reward him."

"So, what Ji Chengfeng wants is the honor of the Zhao family?"

"Exactly, after this decree is issued, Ji Chengfeng will have a reason to come and take Zhao Yunzhen out of the palace!"

Before Zhou Jiaqing could think clearly, he saw Xu Jingxiao taking a big step forward, grabbing her arm, pulling her into his arms and hugging her tightly!

The warm hands tightened the arms again and again, as if they were afraid that Zhou Jiaqing would turn into the breeze and float away.

Xu Jingxiao came on horseback and arrived at the palace before Zhou Jiaqing entered the palace. He saw that Zhou Jiaqing was very familiar with the palace decorations. He even noticed that Zhou Jiaqing took out a tea cup from the cabinet next to him and poured him water. Logically speaking, this was Zhou Jiaqing's first time in the water room, but he knew the arrangement of things inside very well. He did not use the teacup on the table, just to prevent the palace maid from noticing that there was a third person in the room!

A thought suddenly flashed through Xu Jingxiao's mind. He was very afraid that Zhou Jiaqing would really disappear with the wind.

Zhou Jiaqing asked, "What's wrong?"

After a long time, Xu Jingxiao's slightly dull voice was heard, "You are the one Concubine Xian wants to deal with!"

Zhou Jiaqing said calmly: "She is Xie Yuanfu's person!"

Xu Jingxiao looked at Zhou Jiaqing and was shocked. When he learned about Concubine Xian's next move, he vaguely felt that he might be involved with Xie Yuanfu, but Zhou Jiaqing didn't know Concubine Xian's actions yet!

Xu Jingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said "hmm".

"Actually, before I entered the palace, I didn't know that she was already Xie Yuanfu's. Her test just now was to find out how different I was. Obviously, she was disappointed by my performance and thought it was nothing more than that. Xie Yuanfu and Concubine Xian They are all cautious people, but despite this, she will still listen to Xie Yuanfu and will not let me go!" Zhou Jiaqing smiled lightly, with a slight coldness.

"Indeed, Concubine Xian has the same method as Concubine De. They want you to be ruined! They deliberately brought you to the garden. Concubine Xian's people are all outside the garden. Concubine Xian has already arranged what will happen later. But unfortunately, this time, she made the wrong calculation!"

Thinking that Zhou Jiaqing might be framed by Concubine Xian, Xu Jingxiao's heart clenched tightly. Considering Concubine Xian's temperament and methods, it was conceivable that Zhou Jiaqing would not be able to escape easily.

If he had been a step late, Zhou Jiaqing would have been framed and ruined, and would have been thrown into Xie Yuanfu's house...

Thanks Yuanfu!

Xu Jingxiao has never hated such a person so much!

He thought that Zhou Jiahao was already the person he hated the most. Xie Yuanfu had suffered so much, but he still wouldn't let Zhou Jiaqing go!
