Princess Xiang tried her best to control her expression and smiled coldly, "Don't worry about our prince's affairs, Third Sister-in-law."

"We have known each other for so many years and we understand each other very well. Some things are understood without saying anything." Princess Ming lowered her eyes, took her hand, and said meaningfully.

Princess Xiang frowned, pushed her hand away, and said calmly, "Third sister-in-law is right, but in front of the Queen, I would like to advise you that the Queen is the mother of the country, and there is a distinction between the noble and the humble. You should be careful with your words in the future."

Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, Princess Ming's cheek twitched and she said in a deep voice, "Thank you for the reminder."

"Let's go to Shoukang Palace first to pay our respects to the Queen Mother!"

Weiyang Palace

Biluo asked, "Your Majesty, why did Princess Ming and Princess Xiang suddenly come to pay their respects?"

"Neither of these two has good intentions." Zheng Xiyan looked impatient.

"Could it be that something happened in the court?" Zheng Xiyan guessed, "Although what Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning did was not publicized, there is no airtight wall in this palace."

"Your Majesty is still hesitating to take action against the Xi and Shen families. I think Prince Ming and Prince Xiang must have noticed something."

"But hasn't His Majesty repeatedly instructed that the palace people are not allowed to discuss this matter..."

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "As members of the royal family, it is not impossible for Prince Ming and Prince Xiang to want to know what is happening in the palace. Besides, there are two concubines in the palace, and any disturbance will definitely attract their attention."

"Empress, then..."

"The two of them came into the palace today, and it seems like they want to find out something from me." Zheng Xiyan's expression moved slightly. Thinking this way, everything made sense.

"As for King Xiang..." Biluo said worriedly.

Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Prepare paper and ink, I want to write a letter to my father."

"Yes!"

Biluo helped her sit down at the desk, handed her a pen, and spread out the paper. After Zheng Xiyan finished writing, she put the letter in an envelope and handed it to Biluo.

"Tell someone to send it out of the palace and give it to your mother." Zheng Xiyan instructed.

"Yes!"

Biluo left with the letter, and Shuangning helped her up, "My queen, but I see that Princess Ming and Princess Xiang don't want to test anything!"

"That's because I didn't give them a chance. Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu have been under house arrest for too long. Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed." Zheng Xiyan was most worried about this. What if...

"Then you want to..."

But suddenly she thought of something else, "I don't need to do anything. His Majesty will be able to guess something after knowing that the two of them entered the palace today."

Xiao Xuanchen is not the kind of person who will sit and wait for death, he will definitely take action.

Shoukang Palace

Nanny Yu came in and reported, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Princess Ming and Princess Xiang have entered the palace."

"How did they get into the palace? Have they been to Weiyang Palace?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. In the past, she had always been at odds with Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi, so naturally she disliked their daughters-in-law.

Yu Ma Ma reported back, "I just came out of Weiyang Palace and am on my way to Shoukang Palace now."

"understood."

Princess Ming and Princess Xiang arrived at Shoukang Palace. "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and good health."

"Get up!" The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"sit down!"

After the two sat down, the Queen Mother asked, "Have you been to Shou'an Palace?"

"Not yet, I just came from Weiyang Palace." Princess Ming replied.

The Queen Mother said impatiently: "Then I will not keep you here. Go to Shou'an Palace and pay your respects to your mother!"

"Empress Dowager!" Princess Xiang was surprised. They had just sat down and hadn't said a few words yet? Now they were being chased away?

"Madame Yu, send Princess Ming and Princess Xiang to Shou'an Palace. If Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi need anything, please send someone to let me know."

Princess Ming's face suddenly changed, "Empress Dowager, are you going to chase us away?"

"I'm a little tired, so I won't keep you here any longer. You came to pay your respects today, and I'll remember your filial piety. Please see you off!" The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I obey your command. Princess Ming and Princess Xiang, please come in!"

Princess Xiang was very tactful and said, "I will take my leave."

Princess Ming was filled with indignation. Princess Xiang gave her a look and she left unwillingly.

Nanny Yu personally escorted them away, "Princess, please!"

Afterwards, Nanny Yu accompanied the two of them to Shou'an Palace. Princess Ming wanted to say something to Princess Xiang, but because Nanny Yu was beside them, she ended up saying nothing.

Arriving at Shou'an Palace, Nanny Yu said to the two of them, "I'll take my leave."

Princess Ming looked at her figure and sneered, "The Queen Mother is worthy of being the Queen Mother!"

"Alright! The purpose of my coming to the palace today has been completely discovered by the Queen Mother. It's better for me to leave the palace as soon as possible after seeing my mother." Princess Xiang said coldly.

"You are really open-minded." Princess Ming sneered. She failed to complete the task assigned by the prince. How would she explain it when she returned?

Princess Xiang asked back, "What else? Can you still compete with the Queen Mother?"

Princess Ming ignored her and went into Shou'an Palace.

Shoukang Palace

When Nanny Yu came back, the Queen Mother asked, "Did they leave the palace?"

"I paid my respects to Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi, and then left the palace."

"Prince Ming and Prince Xiang must have known something?" The Queen Mother's face turned gloomy. It seemed that the Emperor's guess was correct.

Yu Ma Ma said, "Are you talking about Consort Chen and Consort Shu?"

"Eighty percent of it is true. It seems that Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu cannot continue to be under house arrest. Once the Xi and Shen families lose power, Prince Ming and Prince Xiang will definitely take action against the two families' influence in the court. Then the court will really change." The Queen Mother's expression became more and more serious.

Nanny Yu naturally didn't understand what was going on in the court, but seeing the Empress Dowager's expression, she guessed how serious the matter was.

"Send someone to the Zichen Hall later to invite the emperor to have lunch at Shoukang Palace," the Empress Dowager ordered.

"Yes."

Princess Shion

The eunuch in front of the emperor came in and changed a cup of tea for Xiao Xuanchen. "Your Majesty! Someone just came from Shoukang Palace. The Empress Dowager asked you to have lunch at Shoukang Palace."

Xiao Xuanchen looked up and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

"Your Majesty, today Princess Ming and Princess Xiang entered the palace. They first went to Weiyang Palace to visit the Empress, and then went to Shoukang Palace."

Xiao Xuanchen looked thoughtful, put down the memorial in his hand, pinched his brows, and said coldly: "Back off!"

"The slave retire."

Weiyang Palace

Biluo walked in, "My Lady."

"Have they left the palace?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

Biluo reported back, "After the two princesses paid their respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi, they left the palace."

"understood."

"Madame Yu personally escorted the two of them to Shou'an Palace."
