Since she failed to meet Concubine Xiao, Lu Xiaoxiao did not stay in Qingshu Courtyard. After saying goodbye to the maid guarding Qingshu Courtyard, she left the house with Chen Lu.
Yesterday, Lu Xiaoxiao bargained with Jiujiu for a long time and spent a hundred points to get the whereabouts of the little princess. Today she planned to look for her.
Find the person first, and only after confirmation will Lu Xiaoxiao dare to bring the person to His Highness.
This time when leaving the house, Lu Xiaoxiao did not take a carriage.
Originally, Chen Lu had been following her master quietly, thinking that she would follow wherever her master went.
Unexpectedly, the direction the master was heading was becoming more and more remote, the surrounding houses were very dilapidated, and even the ground had countless small pits and was muddy.
Chen Lu suddenly felt frightened. She quickly stepped forward, held her master's arm with one hand, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going, master? The road here is not easy to walk on. How about I call a carriage?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao looked up at the distance. The road was indeed very bad, but this place was not far from where the little princess lived, so there was no need to look for a carriage.
Lu Xiaoxiao was only thinking about finding the little princess, so she waved her hand casually: "No need, don't panic, we'll be there soon."
Chen Lu was still worried and said anxiously, "Master, this place is very remote. If something unexpected happens, how can I explain it to Your Highness?"
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, I have secret guards following me. Don't worry about my safety."
As she spoke, Lu Xiaoxiao called out to the air, "Seventeen!"
"Are you there?"
As soon as the voice fell, Xie Shiqi's figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Xie Shiqi held the sword and bowed, saying, "I am here. I wonder what Master Liangyuan wants me to do?"
Xie Shiqi appeared so suddenly that Chen Lu was startled. She even clenched her hands unconsciously while holding onto her master. She murmured, "So there are secret guards beside the master."
Chen Lu thought that His Highness had stopped arranging secret guards for his master.
It turned out that she was really overthinking it.
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said happily: "I told you, I have secret guards guarding me."
If Lu Xiaoxiao hadn't remembered that Xie Shiqi and Xie Shiba were still guarding in the dark, keeping an eye on her safety at all times, she would not have come to such a remote alley with only Chen Lu.
After all, although there are no killers targeting her now, there are still many villains in places like this.
She would never take her life as a joke!
Chen Lu nodded seriously: "Master is right, now I can rest assured."
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Seventeen, just follow us. As for Eighteen, just stay in the dark."
Xie Shiqi nodded and said, "Yes, I will obey your orders."
The three of them continued walking forward.
After turning a corner, Lu Xiaoxiao finally found the place.
Chen Lu pinched her nose and stood at the gate of the yard. It was a small yard with a separate entrance and a separate house, and it looked very shabby.
I could faintly smell the medicinal odor wafting from it, it was very bitter and astringent. I didn't know who was sick and had to drink such a bitter medicine.
"Master, are you here to look for someone?"
"Yes."
Lu Xiaoxiao responded, and before Chen Lu could react, she went straight forward and knocked on the gate, "Is anyone there?"
Morning Dew:!!!
The master's movements were too quick. This kind of rough work was supposed to be done by her!
"Master, just let this servant come."
Chen Lu said quickly.
"No need, just stand back."
It's just knocking on the door, and it doesn't take much effort. Lu Xiaoxiao doesn't have the consciousness that as the master, she can't knock on the door.
Xie Shiqi stood beside Lu Xiaoxiao, like a door god.
At this time, there were only three of them in the entire alley.
At this moment, the gate was suddenly opened by someone inside.
"who are you?"
A little boy about six or seven years old appeared in front of Lu Xiaoxiao and the other two. He was not tall, but his eyes were extremely clear.
When looking at Lu Xiaoshi, the little boy showed a puzzled look on his face.
Chen Lu and Xie Shiqi didn't know who Lu Xiaoxiao was looking for, so the little boy's questions could only be answered by their master.
Lu Xiaoxiao did not look into the yard without permission. She bent down, with a gentle smile in her round almond eyes, "Hello, little friend, do you live here? I want to find Granny Xu, is she here?"
After hearing this, the little boy frowned and said unhappily, "Grandma Xu is sick, what do you want to do with her?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "I'm here to give money to Granny Xu, can you let me in?"
The little boy thought about it, with some hesitation in his eyes.
He hesitantly raised his eyes to look at the tall man standing beside him, and said in a low voice: "You can only come in alone."
"Okay."
Lu Xiaoxiao agreed readily.
Seeing this, the little boy retracted his gaze and turned sideways, "Then come in."
"Thank you."
After Lu Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude, she gave Chen Lu and Xie Shiqi a few more words of advice, assuring them that she would not be in any danger. After getting Xie Shiqi's permission, she contentedly stepped over the threshold and entered the yard.
The little boy quickly closed the gate.
After entering the yard, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the stove in the corner of the yard. No wonder they could smell such a strong smell of medicine outside just now. It turned out that the medicine jar was here.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lu Xiaoxiao stopped immediately, turned around, and said to the little boy with a smile: "Which room is Granny Xu in? I want to go see her."
"Granny Xu lives in the innermost part. Just follow me later."
The little boy, who had not sensed any ill will from her, relaxed a little. He breathed a sigh of relief, went over to pick up the medicine jar, and poured it into the broken bowl next to it that had a small hole on the edge.
This is already the best bowl in the house.
After pouring the medicine, the little boy couldn't help but secretly glance at the beautiful girl.
Seeing that her face was still full of smiles and she didn't show any disgust at all, she looked very gentle. The little boy's ears blushed and he quickly looked away.
"Come with me."
He said in a stiff tone.
"it is good."
Lu Xiaoxiao quickly followed.
In fact, the yard was not spacious, but it was very clean. Both sides of the path were planted with beautiful wild flowers, with a faint fragrance of flowers, and almost no weeds. Lu Xiaoxiao guessed that the people living here must cherish this yard very much.
Just as Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking about it, the little boy who had been walking in front of her suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."
With a creaking sound, Lu Xiaoxiao instantly came back to her senses.
The little boy held the bowl in one hand and opened the door with the other, and walked in first, saying, "Grandma, Aji has brought the boiled medicine over."
"cough cough"
A light cough suddenly sounded in the room.
Then came an old female voice, full of helplessness, as if she had accepted her fate: "Aji, grandma won't live long, so don't waste money anymore. It's not easy for your sister to earn money."
"Don't talk nonsense, mother-in-law. My sister said that after mother-in-law drinks the medicine, she will get better soon!"
Aggie retorted loudly.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it and strode in.
If Jiujiu hadn't lied to her, she would soon know the truth of what happened back then...
At this moment, Aji was already sitting beside the couch. He had a stern face and fed Granny Xu medicine with a serious expression.
Granny Xu was helpless. Seeing the medicine being fed to her mouth, she could only drink it.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoxiao stood quietly in the shadows and did not rashly make a sound to disturb the two of them.
But she still knew the news she should know.
The first time I saw Granny Xu, the system automatically triggered the plot information about Granny Xu——
This Granny Xu was indeed one of the midwives who came to the palace to help the Empress give birth sixteen years ago. When Prince Su ordered her to kill the little princess, Granny Xu secretly used someone else's dead baby and escaped with the little princess.
It was because of her that the little princess not only survived, but also grew up safely...
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to judge what Grandma Xu did.
Lu Xiaoxiao pulled her consciousness out of the system, raised her eyes and glanced, just in time to see that the soup bowl held by the little boy Aji was empty.
"Granny Xu, I want to tell you something."
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke, which immediately startled Grandma Xu who was half lying on the couch.
Aji hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, this sister said she wanted to give you money, so I let her in..."
"Send money?"
Granny Xu instantly became alert.
For so many years, she has been hiding here and there in order to hide her past from anyone.
It has been less than half a month since she entered Shengjing, and she has only left the courtyard twice. No one around here knows her. How could anyone want to give her money?
"Aji, mother-in-law doesn't recognize her, you send her away."
Granny Xu said.
Hearing this, Aji opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Aji said, "Sister, please come out with me."
"Wait a minute."
Lu Xiaoxiao, who had rarely come in and knew the truth, naturally would not leave with him so easily. She stared at Granny Xu's eyes and said, "Granny Xu, I just want to say a few words about Chunlin."
Aji on the side widened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"
Chunlin was the name given to her by Grandma Xu.
And Aji is Granny Xu's biological grandson.
Aji and Chunlin have always been brother and sister.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. On the contrary, I'm here to help you."
Lu Xiaoxiao added patiently.
Granny Xu stared at Lu Xiaoxiao in silence for a long time, coughed a few times, and then waved to Aji: "Aji, go out first, Granny will talk to her."
"Mother-in-law..."
Aji was worried.
Granny Xu: "Granny, it's okay, go out."
Aji: "Okay, then I'll stand guard at the door. If she dares to bully you, mother-in-law, remember to ask Aji to come in."
The corners of Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched: "..." Does she look like a bad person?
How could a woman as weak as her bully others?
Aji walked out of the room, looking back every three steps. When he stood at the door, he seemed reluctant to close the door.
Lu Xiaoxiao held her forehead with her hand and simply walked over to close the door.
Aji, who was locked outside, looked down: "..."
At this time, there were only Granny Xu and Lu Xiaoxiao in the room.
After another moment of silence, Granny Xu spoke first: "What do you want to say?"
"I think I should first tell you about my identity."
Lu Xiaoxiao paid attention to Granny Xu's reaction, "My last name is Lu, and I am the prince's concubine."
Granny Xu's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock flashed across her eyes.
Afraid that Granny Xu wouldn't believe her, Lu Xiaoxiao silently took out the Crown Prince's jade pendant to prove her identity.
Back then, Granny Xu had stayed in the palace for quite some time and had met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, she still remembered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's jade pendant. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's dragon-patterned jade pendant was slightly different from that of other princes.
"In recent days, there has been a rumor going around in Shengjing City. I wonder if Granny Xu has heard about it. The fourth prince Xie Jin colluded with Prince Su and plotted a rebellion. He has been imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House by the Emperor. The Emperor has said that the fourth prince and Prince Su will never be able to leave the Imperial Clan House again in this lifetime..."
"Are you telling the truth?!"
As she was speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a pain in her right arm. She looked down subconsciously and noticed that Granny Xu was holding her hand tightly.
It hurts a bit, but it's bearable.
Looking at Granny Xu's expression, she seemed very excited, and vaguely felt a sense of satisfaction at having her revenge. Granny Xu asked anxiously, "Is Prince Su really imprisoned in the clan residence and can never come out again?"
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded seriously: "Really, if you don't believe it, you can ask Aji to go out and ask around."
"it is good."
To be on the safe side, Granny Xu asked Aji to go out for a mile.
Although Aji was confused, he still followed Granny Xu's advice and went outside to inquire.
Soon, Aji ran back again.
But this time, Aji came in with Chenlu.
Xie Shiqi still couldn’t come in.
"master."
Chen Lu followed Aji into the room, and was relieved to see her master standing there safely and unharmed.
Lu Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Why did you come in too?"
Chen Lu: "I am worried about my master."
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I'm fine, you go and guard outside the room first."
Chen Lu responded and went out again.
After getting confirmation from Aji, Grandma Xu also kicked Aji out of the room.
"Granny Xu, the current Fourth Prince Xie Jin is not the biological son of His Majesty and the Queen, but Prince Su's, right?"
When saying this, Lu Xiaoxiao deliberately lowered her voice so that the people guarding outside would not hear it.
Granny Xu was not surprised when she heard this. She had already guessed what Lu Xiaoxiao was up to, and she didn't plan to hide it any further. "You're right. The Fourth Prince is indeed Prince Su's biological son."
"Back then, Lu Niang, Hui Niang and I were ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to help the empress give birth. During those months, we lived in the palace and nothing happened."
"But a few days before the Queen was due to give birth, Prince Su suddenly came to us..."
