III Jiangshan

Until he left Qinzheng Hall, Yuan Youqi's head was still numb.

Feng Rou is pregnant?She's going to be...a father?

How can it be!

She is a woman, so it is impossible for Fengrou to conceive, not to mention she...has never touched Fengrou before, how could she...

Yuan Youqi's face flushed red, and his steps quickened a bit.

It's impossible for Feng Rou to be pregnant, she must be sick, or...

The expression on Yuan Youqi's slightly hot handsome face became serious.She didn't want this "or" to become a reality at all.

After another half a quarter of an hour of rapid walking, the East Palace was getting closer and closer.Yuan Youqi took a glance from the corner of the eye, and found a young woman dressed as a court lady walking briskly not far away.

Yuan Youqi was full of doubts at the moment, and he couldn't help being suspicious when looking at people.She watched helplessly as the palace maid turned around and walked faster after seeing her, as if avoiding her.

Yuan Youqi frowned, motioning for Tang Xi to go and call the maid.

Soon, the court lady was brought in front of her.

Seeing her kneeling tremblingly, Yuan Youqi shivered into a ball, almost buried her head in her chest, and the suspicion in her heart deepened.

She asked herself that she had never treated the palace servants harshly, especially after becoming a prince, most of the time she was kind to others, why did a little palace lady become frightened like this?

There must be something weird in it!

Yuan Youqi was sure, so he quietly asked, "Which palace are you from?"

The court lady had been in the palace for a long time, so she naturally recognized the prince's clothes, and she already knew who the good-looking boy in front of her was.Hearing the other party's question, she felt even more nervous, but she didn't dare not answer.

"Slave servant... Slave servant is...served by Jin and Jinxiu Pavilion..." The maid replied stutteringly.

Splendid Pavilion?Isn't that the home of the Homer?

Yuan Youqi frowned, feeling that there must be something hidden in it.

"Did you see Gu just now?" Yuan Youqi asked again unhurriedly.

The court lady was speechless and wanted to answer "I didn't see it". She knew that since the prince asked this question, she must have known that she had just seen it;I'm afraid the crime is more serious.

Seeing her situation, Yuan Youqi didn't want to entangle her with this issue, and continued: "You have seen Gu, why do you speed up and hide from Gu? You have been in the palace for a long time, so no one taught you what you should know. Is it the rules?"

The maid trembled even more when she heard the words.

She has served in the palace for many years, and she also understands the rules of the palace, and she is very clear about the consequences of seeing the venerable disrespectful salute.

The Tian family has always attached great importance to etiquette and law, and lost its dignity in etiquette. Those who are mild will be scolded, and those who are serious will even be sent to the criminal department of the inner government to be whipped and punished.

It's not that the palace maid has never heard of the vicious methods of the nanny in charge of the punishment department, and she was already pale with fright at this moment.She knew that when she saw the prince's disrespect and ran away, this crime was second only to disobedience to the emperor.She seemed to have seen the horror of being beaten unconscious by the nanny in the criminal department.

She was very glad that she was quick-witted, and hurriedly knocked her head on the ground three times, "Prince, please spare me! Your Highness, please spare me! The servant was just in a hurry to do things for the concubine Xian, so I lost my sense of proportion." Yes! I beg His Royal Highness to spare your life!"

Yuan Youqi was shocked when she heard her say that.

Why did the concubine mother get involved somehow?Is there something about the concubine?

She first looked around subconsciously, and found that there was no one around, and then asked in a deep voice: "You said that you just went to work for the concubine mother?"

The court lady knew that Concubine Wei Xian was her only life-saving straw, so she hurriedly replied: "Yes! This slave just followed the orders of Concubine Xian..."

"Joke!" Yuan Youqi deliberately sneered, "What is the identity of the mother concubine? What is your identity? You are from Jinxiu Pavilion, how could the mother concubine order you to do things?"

When the maid heard the words, she immediately thought that the prince didn't believe her words.This is a matter of life and death, how could she not try hard to argue?

"The Concubine Xian really let the slaves do things! Don't believe it... His Highness the Crown Prince, go ask the Concubine Xian!" The maid was anxious.

Yuan Youqi smiled slightly: "Of course I want to ask. However, what kind of noble concubine is she, who takes care of everything every day, will she remember a little maid like you?"

The implication is that I really look down on what the court lady did for Concubine Xian.

The palace girl was afraid that the prince would not believe her words, so she turned around and sent herself to the Criminal Division. She didn't care about anything, and said, "The concubine Xian ordered the servants to find Prince Gong, and ordered the servants to tell Prince Gong to meet him in the imperial garden! Prince Your Highness, if you just ask like that, Concubine Xian will definitely remember it!"

Yuan Youqi heard that Yuan Chengbai was also involved, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said dangerously: "Are you confused? Do you know what you are talking about?"

The maid kowtowed incessantly, and said in a panic: "My servant is afraid of death! With a hundred courage, this servant will not dare to lie to you, the crown prince!"

Yuan Youqi stared at her, and the doubts in his mind suddenly became a mess——

The mother and concubine quietly asked Huo Meiren's maid to secretly inform the third brother to wait in the imperial garden?What is the situation?

Huo Meiren and the third brother... How did these two people get involved?

The mother and concubine never mentioned this matter.Could it be that she... is trying to hide it from herself?

The third brother is an adult prince who has opened a mansion and has a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter. Is it normal for him to go to the Royal Garden to meet Huo Meiren?

What will the concubine do again?

Yuan Youqi's mind was very confused, and at the same time, he was lucky to meet this court lady.

She put on a tiger's face, and said to the court lady in a cold voice: "I know what you did just now and what consequences it will cause, right?"

The maid shook her head and nodded hesitantly.She knew exactly what she was doing from the moment she betrayed her master, Homer.But she was more afraid of death, so hugging Concubine Xian's thigh like this would at least save her life.

Yuan Youqi's voice was even colder, and said: "What you just said, if you talk to anyone again, hum! Who is Gu, you should know?"

The maid trembled, shook her head in a panic, and said, "Don't dare! Don't dare!".

Yuan Youqi saw that she was almost frightened, so she told Tang Xi: "Someone watch her, don't run around!"

She herself turned around and wanted to go to Fengyi Palace to find Concubine Wei Xian to ask for clarification.

However, after walking a few steps, Yuan Youqi suddenly stopped.

She suddenly realized that this matter might be more complicated than she thought.If she asks the concubine mother directly like this, will the concubine mother give her the answer?Even, will the concubine mother tell the truth?

Yuan Youqi was raised by Concubine Wei Xian for 16 years, and she knew very well that her mother and concubine was a very resourceful woman.

What the maid said was absolutely true.This means that the concubine mother is using this maid to seek something.

And what the mother and concubine conspired, from this point of view, is definitely related to the third brother.

Yuan Youqi was not surprised that Yuan Chengbai might have an affair with Huo Meiren.There have been many such things in the Tian family in the past dynasties, not to mention that she herself treats Gu Heng...

Gu Heng!

Yuan Youqi took a breath——

She thought of a more terrifying possibility: Will the concubine mother... kill two birds with one stone?

Otherwise, why did you make an appointment in the Royal Garden if you didn't make an appointment at a nearby place!

Since the concubine mother can push herself to the position of crown prince, she has been in the palace for many years, so would it be difficult to know the whereabouts of her father?

Seeing that the East Palace was not far away, Yuan Youqi went straight to the East Palace without hesitation.

She walked very fast, broke into the palace gate, and hurriedly saluted the guards and eunuchs who were on duty when they were surprised, and shouted sharply: "Where is Liang Shao'an!"

Soon, a middle-aged man in military uniform and sword ran up to her, bowed and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Yuan Youqi stared at him, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Gather a hundred elites and escort them into the palace!"

If it is really Yuan Chengbai's existence that threatens Gu Heng's safety, Yuan Youqi doesn't mind doing something to her third brother!

Liang Shaoan is the guard of the Eastern Palace, responsible for commanding the guards of the Eastern Palace.He was born in the army, and was a military attache after accumulating military merits. He once served as a sixth-rank school officer under Wei Zhouyang.After Yuan Youqi entered the East Palace, he valued his bravery and loyalty, and personally appointed him to be the guard of the East Palace. His official rank was also promoted several levels at the same time, and he became the fourth rank.

Yuan Youqi was kind to him, so as long as Yuan Youqi ordered him, Liang Shao'an would be willing to go through fire and water.

At this time, after hearing the words "Entering the palace to escort", the blood of his long-term experience in the army surged in his chest, his eyes were wide open, he hurriedly clasped his fists, and he answered sonorously: "Yes!"

Most of the guards in the Eastern Palace were elite soldiers, Liang Shaoan gave an order, and they quickly assembled, waiting for Yuan Youqi's order to set off.

Yuan Youqi had already picked up his sword, and stood in front of a group of brightly armored and majestic soldiers with a cold face.

She's not confused, she knows what she's doing.

Said it was "escorting", said it was to guard against the third brother's changes, but in fact, it was the concubine mother who was really rebellious!

It hasn't been a day or two since the mother and concubine have been bored with Ah Heng, how could she know that the mother and concubine would not take the opportunity to get rid of Ah Heng?

Or, the concubine mother doesn't do it herself, but will she borrow the hands of others?

Killing someone with a borrowed knife is never a bad strategy.

If you haven't read the records of Fengming Tower, Yuan Youqi may still have some naivety and illusions about Concubine Wei Xian's attitude towards Gu Heng.

However, now that she has read those records and learned many things, she will never be able to return to the innocence she once was.

A hundred elite guards of the Eastern Palace broke into the Imperial Garden with weapons, was it really to deal with the third brother?

Yuan Youqi gently closed his eyes and asked himself.

I'm afraid not?

You are here to deal with the unknowable problems that your mother and concubine may pose to Ah Heng, and to save Ah Heng from danger.

In the face of a real crisis, there is nothing more reliable than the military power in one's own hands.

At this moment, Gu Heng's safety is threatened, and there is nothing more terrifying than this situation.

No matter who dares to threaten Gu Heng's safety, Yuan Youqi will fight desperately without hesitation.

Infinite desolation flashed across Yuan Youqi's heart——

Since when did she and Concubine Wei Xian become so separated?

The author has something to say: Getting angry at the crown and becoming a beauty~

So, what did Concubine Wei Xian plot against Gu Heng?
