Princess [rebirth]

Chapter 48 Doubt

Zhuo Jingfan sat on the soft couch and told Dou Chun how he was assassinated.The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the Xiao family or the suspended ceremony, as if Dou Chun's going out of the palace yesterday was just an ordinary outing.

"... Caomin heard that the saint was furious, and even the adults of the Jinwu Guard were implicated. Even this morning, it seemed that the Habayashi Army was alarmed. I wonder if this happened?" Zhuo Jingfan lowered his voice and said lightly. Said.

"Well, Royal Father originally wanted to invite Duke Huai into the palace for a talk, but now the capital is not very stable, even I was assassinated, so Royal Father was worried about Duke Huai's safety, so he specially sent the Habayashi Army to escort Duke Huai into the palace " Dou Chun was not surprised at all that Zhuo Jingfan could receive the news, and smiled and said the saint's whitewashing of peace.

"A sage is wise, that's exactly what he should do. This is also the whole heart of a sage to protect Duke Huai." Zhuo Jingfan nodded, and followed Dou Chun to play tricks.But Dou Chun restrained his smile, and with a little disdain in his tone, he said softly: "Who would have thought that it was such an unfortunate coincidence, Princess Huai said that Duke Huai had not returned to the mansion for many days, but she received an imperial edict to summon her again. It is inevitable that Princess Huai has to enter the palace instead of King Huai to explain to the father."

"Prince Huai is not in the mansion?" Zhuo Jingfan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked again, "Do you know if Prince Huai is still in the capital?"

A flash of appreciation flashed in Dou Chun's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "On the day before I was assassinated, my people received the news that King Huai led people out of the capital overnight and went to the northeast." It was also because of this It was the news that made him take Duke Huai lightly, thinking that the other party was no longer in the capital, so even if something happened, it would not be a big deal.Who would have thought that Duke Huai had the idea of ​​assassinating the crown prince, so he avoided going out early, and things turned out for the best, except for one serious worry in his heart; he was not afraid of things failing, no one else was in the capital, who could make things worse To him?

Zhuo Jingfan frowned after hearing this, "Duke Huai's behavior this time is not like what he did in the past."

"A new staff member came to Duke Huai's residence a few months ago, and he is very much relied upon by Duke Huai." Dou Chun raised the corners of his lips and smiled, Zhuo Jingfan's eyes flashed a flash of clarity, it seemed that he had the help of an expert, Otherwise, how could Duke Huai, who was a little heedless in the past, make such a noise?Thinking about it, Dou Chun must have been confused by King Huai's move to leave the capital, so he relaxed his vigilance towards King Huai in his heart, so he followed the way of King Huai.

But he didn't express any opinion on it. After all, not only is the current Dou Chun different from before, but also his identity is also different. Some things that were said before can't be said now.He made up his mind, put this trouble behind him, and just when he was about to continue speaking, a blessed voice sounded at the door.

Dou Chun's eyes flickered, knowing that it was Youfu reminding him that the time was almost up, if Zhuo Jingfan stayed any longer, his whereabouts would be exposed and the saint would be alarmed. will also be implicated.So despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to drive people away, "Okay, it's late today, and I'm tired, Fanfan, you go back first, and I'll talk to you someday."

Zhuo Jingfan squinted his eyes, didn't say much, got up and saluted Dou Chun respectfully, then put on his cloak, slipped out the way he came from, and returned to Yiqiu Palace without any danger. .

In the Buddhist hall in the side hall of Yiqiu Palace, Fu Ling and Hu Po were guarding it, their faces were a little dignified. In the past, the gentleman would sometimes go out of the palace for a walk, but he never left Yiqiu Palace too far, let alone tonight Lang Jun is going to His Highness's bedroom, if something goes wrong on the way, Lang Jun won't be able to finish eating.

After finally waiting for Zhuo Jingfan to come back, Fu Ling and Hu Po greeted him immediately, helping him take off his cloak, Hu Po retreated holding the cloak, leaving Fu Ling holding a teacup to wait on Zhuo Jingfan.Zhuo Jingfan glanced at his maidservants, knowing that they must have something to report for their actions, so he said flatly: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Fu Ling was not surprised that the gentleman could see his thoughts, and said in a low voice, "My lord, Xiaotao has been wandering outside the hall earlier, and she used words to test the servant girl and Hu Po, and wanted to find out if you were in the hall."

"Xiaotao?" Zhuo Jingfan raised his eyebrows. Xiaotao was the nail inserted by Concubine Xian. Not long after he moved to Yiqiu Palace, he used some means to subdue her. In the past, Xiaotao was not a High-profile, and very safe in handling things, I never imagined that this person would come to inquire about his whereabouts today.

"Back to your lord, the servant and Amber tried to send her away with the excuse that you had already rested, but she deliberately found a topic and dragged Amber to talk about it. Later, the servant scolded her and let her go. Give up and leave." Fu Ling told the story in detail.

"Xiaotao is originally a Concubine Xian. It took me a while to win her over, but I didn't trust her. After all, a person who betrays the Lord once will betray the Lord a second time. You and Hu Po usually Also keep an eye on her, don't let her get into trouble and bring down Yiqiu Palace." Zhuo Jingfan ordered after pondering for a while.

"No, I'll save you, servant girl." Fu Ling respectfully replied, she and Hu Po didn't trust those nails too much, now that she has the Lord's permission and knows what he's thinking, she and Hu Po will be able to act more smoothly in the future Reliance, after all, the lord did not speak, and they can't deal with other palace people at will, so as not to spoil the big event of the lord.Now it is different from the past, the current situation of Mr. Lang can be said to be walking on thin ice, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in the palace, but there are some bad news from Fan Yiqiu Palace, just to add trouble to Mr. Wang.

Zhuo Jingfan also knew Fu Ling's concerns, but he was still at ease regarding Fu Ling and Hu Po.He doesn't worry that the people around him are not smart enough, and he doesn't care about the people around him not responding fast enough. He is most afraid of those people who are not clear-headed and like to make their own decisions.

Although Fu Ling and Hu Po were a bit dull at the beginning, after all, the master who followed was not clear, and they came from the Zhuo Mansion. In the small world of the Zhuo Mansion, there is a stepmother like Mrs. Qingping County, so what good can they do? servant?So he took the trouble to personally point out the two of them. Fortunately, Fu Ling and Hu Po are not stupid, and they usually know everything. They are too dull and stupid on weekdays, because no one has taught them, and they have opened their eyes after entering the palace. Naturally, he would think about it, coupled with Zhuo Jingfan's training from time to time, after more than a year, Fu Ling and Hu Po are quite different from the past.

Therefore, even if Zhuo Jingfan kept the big plan in his heart from the two of them, he would reveal some ideas in a timely manner for them to ponder, and would also give them some more hidden tasks.Besides, he didn't have enough manpower around him, and training Fu Ling and Hu Po could be regarded as a solution to his urgent need. No, now these two people can manage the Yiqiu Palace well after he leaves the palace, without letting people Find yourself not in the palace.

Compared with the dullness of the two when he first woke up, Fu Ling and Hu Po are now qualified female officials of the Eastern Palace.

Fu Ling doesn't know what the husband thinks of herself and Hu Po, she only knows that she and Hu Po can only rely on him now, since they entered the palace, they never thought about going out of the palace, even though the maidservant arrived at 25 They can leave the palace at the age of 25, but that also requires the grace of the sage, if the sage doesn't speak, even if they really reach [-], they won't be able to get out.

In the past, Mr. Lang was the princess, and she and Hu Po might still have a hope, but after Mr. Lang was deposed, she and Hu Po realized the reality. The prince’s concubine and saints can be deposed as soon as they are said. What is a maidservant in the eyes of a saint?Now I just want to serve the Lord well. If God opens his eyes in the future and let the Lord regain the favor of the saint and His Highness, it will be their great fortune. ...

Zhuo Jingfan didn't take Xiaotao's matter to heart, it was enough to have Fu Ling and Hu Po staring at him, so after Fu Ling reported, he waved Fu Ling away.Since he came to Yiqiu Palace, he didn't allow people to sleep at night. Firstly, there were not enough palace servants at hand; secondly, because sometimes he would leave the palace in the middle of the night, so it was hard to keep people around.

After he was the only one left in the side hall, he entered the dormitory, leaned on the soft couch, and recalled Dou Chun's performance over the past year with a cloudy expression.Some details that were ignored by me before slowly jumped out. Ever since Imperial Physician Hu said that Dou Chun had the possibility of recovery, Dou Chun really began to recover gradually, and after recovering, Dou Chun was not at all like He is a person who has been stupid for more than ten years. He speaks articulately and speaks well, and now he has even learned the skills of his hands. Can these be learned in more than a year?

Furthermore, after Dou Chun recovered, Zhuo Jingfan never asked him if he remembered what happened when he was stupid. To him, Dou Chun when he was stupid and Dou Chun after recovery were like two people.But just now he was crushed by Dou Chun, in order to make himself powerless to resist, Dou Chun exhaled on his neck, and entangled himself in constant kisses, so that he could only let him do whatever he wanted. Wasn't it because he still remembered Crazy that night?

Several consecutive questions popped up, making Zhuo Jingfan unable to ignore Dou Chun's strangeness.He couldn't help flashing a question in his heart: When did Dou Chun wake up?

In the past, he always avoided this question intentionally or unintentionally, because he raised the stupid Dou Chun as his son. After Dou Chun is no longer stupid, his son will be gone. Some small things will have feelings after being kept for a long time, so deep down in his heart there is some resistance to Dou Chun's sobriety.Besides, he wants to seize Dou Chun's throne, a foolish prince is much easier to control than a sober one.

No matter what kind of psychology Zhuo Jingfan had when he treated Dou Chun kindly at the beginning, it was because of his true feelings, so it was really not easy for him to turn around at this moment.It is also because of this that Dou Chun's flaws were ignored by him. After more than a year, after being forced to hide in the Yiqiu Palace to meditate and cultivate his energy, his mood has settled down, and his thinking has naturally become clearer. .

The flaws and truths that he had subconsciously ignored in the past naturally came to the surface. ...

******

After Princess Huai entered the palace, she didn't see the saint right away. The saint arranged her in the side hall of Liangyi Hall, waiting for a whole day, but she didn't dare to complain, let alone show impatience. Even though he felt a little uncomfortable, he still sat upright in the side hall.The tea in the teacup on the table next to her was already completely cold, but Princess Huai just sat there motionless with her eyelids downcast, not showing any intention of asking someone to change the tea.

Standing behind Princess Huai were two maidservants, both of whom were secretly looking at her. The maidservants had heard that Princess Huai was weak and sick, and at this time they were ordered by the sage to come to take care of Princess Huai. Be very careful.Although Princess Huai looked a little weak, she wasn't like those weak concubines who always put on a show, as if walking one step longer or standing longer would kill them.

Princess Huai sat with her back straight and dignified for a whole day. Except for a lunch at noon, she didn't even refill tea, and no one called Princess Huai. The servant girl was more and more admirable, after all, she was a prostitute from the He family in the northwest, and her demeanor and upbringing couldn't be raised by those small families.

Princess Huai doesn't know what the servant girl is thinking, she is really exhausted at the moment, but she still has to hold on, after all, if she falls down, what will happen to Duke Huai's residence?What about her Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong?So she couldn't fall, even if she gritted her teeth, she had to hold on.

It wasn't until the light in the side hall was dim, and the inner warden came in to light the lamps, that she finally waited for the saint's summons.

She stood up slowly, her face was pale, and her figure was a little shaky. Seeing this, the two maidservants beside her immediately stepped forward to help her. After she stood still, the maidservant retreated. Back behind her again.Princess Huai took a deep breath, followed Lu Fu who came to lead the way, out of the side hall, and headed for the study of the Liangyi Hall.

At the door of the study, Lu Fu bowed and said, "The sage is waiting for the concubine inside." Princess Huai nodded, thanked Lu Fu, and walked into the study with her head held high.

This is the first time she has entered the study of the saint. Because of her poor health, she was exempted from entering the palace to thank her on the second day after marrying into Prince Huai's mansion. It was rewarding many treasures, making everyone around admire the favor of Prince Huai's residence.Only she knew that the sage's refusal of her gratitude was not a kindness at all, but simply did not want to see Duke Huai. Fortunately, Duke Huai was complacent about marrying the right concubine, which made the sage look at him differently.

Princess Huai still remembered the disdain and ridicule in her heart at that time, but then she thought again, as the concubine of Duke Huai, she seldom entered the palace. Princesses are not recognized by saints and royal clansmen.

Concubine Huai put away the thoughts in her heart, gave a standard blessing ceremony to the saint, and greeted him respectfully, "I have seen the saint, all blessings to the saint."

"Get up, you are not in good health, sit down quickly." The sage called out, and asked the inner eunuch who was waiting in the study room to lift up a chair for Princess Huai to sit in.Concubine Huai thanked her for the seat again, then sat down respectfully, and lowered her head to wait for the sage to ask questions.

"Time flies so fast. I still remember the time when I talked and laughed with Mr. He Jiada. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed." Lang.

After hearing this, Princess Huai's heart tightened, she didn't know what the sage meant by mentioning her elder brother suddenly, so she could only think about it and said: "Thank you sage for your concern, if my concubine's elder brother finds out, he must be very happy."

"Well, it would be best if it could be like this." The saint said lightly, his tone suddenly became indifferent, making Princess Huai's heart skip a beat, remembering that she had been waiting in the side hall for a whole day, and then listening to the saint's words at this time, could it be What happened at home?Otherwise, how could the sage mention the He family in such a tone?She was a little anxious, but she also knew that she could not ask questions without authorization, and could only follow the words of the saint.

"The sage said, the sage loves my concubine's elder brother so much, the concubine's elder brother dare not or forget it, even the concubine always remembers the saint's grace, and dare not make mistakes in Duke Huai's mansion, for fear of disappointing the saint I mean marriage." Princess Huai spoke slowly, her face was calm, she couldn't see any anxiety in her heart.

"...Princess is worrying too much, I don't mean to blame you." After hearing this, the saint stared at Princess Huai for a while, then slowed down his tone and said with a smile.Princess Huai pursed her lips and forced out a smile, but her heart kept sinking. It seems that the sage summoned herself into the palace today. Apart from the matter of the king, maybe something happened to the He family.

"I wanted to call Duke Huai into the palace to speak today, but it was such an unfortunate coincidence that Duke Huai was not in the mansion, and I heard that Duke Huai hadn't returned to the mansion for many days. I thought it would be good for the concubine to go on behalf of King Huai. Yes, I just had a long talk with the elders of the Yan Pavilion, so that the princess can wait." The sage returned to his original gentle appearance, and he spoke in the same way, which made Princess Huai's heart flutter. of.

"Going back to the saint, my concubine is afraid. The saint should put state affairs first, and the concubine is only Princess Huai, so she should come after state affairs." Princess Huai couldn't figure out what the saint was thinking, so she had to bite the bullet and position herself and Prince Huai's residence as family affairs. In fact, the state has state laws, and the family has family rules. If the saints were allowed to elevate Duke Huai's actions to state affairs, I'm afraid that the whole of Duke Huai's mansion would be buried with this stupid fellow, Dou Ze.

"...Shi Niang, what I have always admired the most is your sense of humor." The sage sighed after hearing this, and suddenly called out the name of Princess Huai. Glancing at the saint, he saw that the saint was looking at him gently with nostalgia in his eyes.She was a little flustered, she didn't know what the saint meant by calling her name in such a friendly tone at this time, there was no joy in her heart, only endless fear, and cold sweat broke out on her straight back .

"Thank you for the sage's praise, I don't dare to be a concubine." He Shiniang pursed her lips and said respectfully.

Unexpectedly, the saint threw out a shocking news next, "Shi Niang, the He family has rebelled." After finishing his speech, the saint stared at He Shiniang, trying to see the change in her expression, but He Shiniang Because of these six short words, the liver and gallbladder are torn apart, and the face is full of disbelief.

"Hui...Huisheng...people, the He family...the He family...reversed?" He Shiniang asked awkwardly, her eyes were dazed, the blood on her face faded completely, her whole person looked thin and thin. Fragile, as if it will fall down in the next moment.

A gleam of pity flashed in the saint's heart, and then he hardened his heart again, and with an expressionless face, he said indifferently: "You heard me right, the news that was rushed in eight hundred miles today, the He family in the northwest led troops to rebel .”

He Shiniang's body was already weak, and she hadn't recovered well in order to fight against Duke Huai these years. Today, because of the Yulin Army's siege of Duke Huai's mansion, she was worried and anxious all day in the side hall. When she heard the news of the He family's rebellion, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed her. With a groan, He Shiniang closed her eyes and passed out like this.

The saint's eyes flickered, his figure moved slightly, but in the end he was still sitting behind the desk and did not get up. He watched He Shiniang fall to the ground, and the maidservants and eunuchs at the side did not have his orders. She didn't dare to move without authorization, so He Shiniang collapsed there, and the beads and buds on her bun scattered all over the floor.

After a long time, the palace people who lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound heard the saint's hoarse voice, "Send Princess Huai to the Lizheng Hall and let the queen take care of her." Immediately there were two palaces The maid immediately stepped forward, helped He Shiniang up with her hands and feet, carried her out of the study, and sent her to the Lizheng Hall in a soft sedan chair.

The queen in the Lizheng Hall looked at the unconscious Princess Huai in astonishment, while Lu Fu, who was escorting Princess Huai, took a step forward and conveyed the sage's words. After hearing this, the queen frowned and asked, "Why is Princess Huai not feeling well?" Send him back to Duke Huai's mansion? Instead, carry him to the Lizheng Hall in this palace?"

"My lady, the little one doesn't know, the little one is just following orders." Lu Fu bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully.

The queen's complexion darkened again, but Lu Fu was the great eunuch who had to be used by the saint, even she couldn't offend him openly, so she could only suppress her displeasure, and said, "Okay, my palace Got it, go back and tell the sage that this palace will take good care of Princess Huai." Lu Fu got the queen's permission, and watched the queen settle down for Princess Huai, then led the rest of the palace people and left the Lizheng Hall . ...

On the other side, Dou Chun, who had just separated from Zhuo Jingfan, received the news from Lu Fu. He stared at the note Youquan sent him with a sullen face. Lizheng Palace, make sure to protect Princess Huai." You Fu, who was waiting at the side, received the order and immediately retreated to pass on the message.

Dou Chun got up and left the bed with a sullen face, walked to the table, put the note in his hand in the candlelight, the note was burnt to ashes soon, and Youquan immediately stepped forward to dispose of the ashes Cleaned up, and then retreated back to stand with bowed head.Dou Chun saw that the note had been destroyed, so he sat back on the bed again. Then he was silent for a long time before he said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for helping me. Don't interfere with the news later. Let the literate eunuch go run errands."

Although Dou Chun knew that Youquan would not peek at the contents of the note, he did not dare to take the risk. The less people know about this matter, the better. You are all confidantes he has cultivated for a long time, and he does not want the other party to be caught in this matter. matter.Lu Fu risked his life to send him the news. If the saint found out, Lu Fu might be able to escape the death penalty, but the middleman who ran errands for Lu Fu would definitely not survive, so he had to pick everything out first. OK.

Fortunately, Youquan only delivered such a message once, and he would not let him touch it in the future, maybe his life could be saved.

Youquan didn't know what Eunuch Lu's note was about this time, but seeing His Highness's ugly face and solemn tone, he responded repeatedly, and he was also thinking about who would be more appropriate to run errands with.But at the same time, he was also a little curious. Eunuch Lu had passed the news to His Highness not once or twice, but why His Highness didn't dare to let him do it this time?He carefully recalled Eunuch Lu's expression when he handed the note to him, and his heart skipped a beat. Knowing that this time the matter was probably not small, he put out his curiosity.

After Dou Chun gave his orders, Youquan retreated, and when Youfu came back, Dou Chun said softly, "Go to Yiqiu Palace and tell Youshuang that I have something to tell you." After sending You Shuang to the Crown Princess, he never used her. He never expected His Highness to put You Shuang on the table this time. Could it be that the matter is really so difficult?

You Fu didn't dare to ask more questions, so he hurriedly walked to Yiqiu Palace, handed over the news, and returned to Chongren Palace.After returning to Chongren Hall, His Highness sat on the bed with his eyes open, his face full of dignity.He hurriedly stepped forward, approached Dou Chun and softly persuaded him: "Your Highness, it's the end of Haishi now, you have to take care of yourself."

Dou Chun sighed, turned to look at Lu Fu, "The sky is about to change."

You Fu was stunned, thinking of the note that Eunuch Lu handed out earlier, he felt a little uneasy, he didn't know what was written in the note, he only heard His Highness said that Princess Huai was in the Lizheng Hall, as to why Princess Huai was in the Lizheng Hall He didn't know how long he would stay here, but hearing His Highness lament that the sky was about to change at this moment made him feel a chill for no reason.

It was clearly early spring, but the cold wind blowing late at night made people shiver. ...

The next morning, when Zhuo Jingfan woke up, he heard Fu Ling whispering in his ear, "My lord, the Zhan Shifu sent someone to say that Mrs. Qingping County sent a message and wanted to see the concubine Xian. "

"Concubine Xian?" Zhuo Jingfan paused while drinking tea, he frowned and said, "Madam went to see Concubine Xian instead of visiting Empress when entering the palace, what's the reason?"

"Returning to your lord, Mrs. Qingping County is afraid that she has something to ask for, but she feels that the empress is resting, so it is not easy to disturb her, so she turned to ask to see the virtuous concubine." Fu Ling said respectfully, but the meaning in the words was It implies that the lady of Qingping County asked to see the concubine Xian because the concubine Xian is now in charge of palace affairs.

"If Concubine Xian agrees to meet, there is no need to stop her. I want to see, what kind of tricks does she want to play?" Zhuo Jingfan snorted coldly, in his heart, he had some vague guesses about Xiao Wanniang's entry into the palace, probably because of Lady Xiao It's all about the evening ceremony.Although the ceremony was canceled because Dou Chunyu stabbed his legs and feet, the sage did not really say that he would not marry the second concubine, so it is understandable that the Xiao family would run about it.

What he didn't know was that Xiao Wanniang entered the palace this time with a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

Concubine Xian was also very surprised at this time, Mrs. Qingping County did not ask to see the empress when she entered the palace, and instead of going to the East Palace to visit her stepson, she went to her Zhaoyun Palace to ask to see her, which made her full of doubts.But as soon as she remembered Zhuo Jingfan's ignorance of good and evil, she thought it would be good to meet Mrs. Qingping County, so that she could find out what the Zhuo family said. After all, Zhuo Jingfan was no longer the princess, but Zhuo Rongyong was still Zhongshu Second, it can also take the opportunity to test the relationship between Zhuo Jingfan and his stepmother.

After making up her mind, Concubine Xian allowed Mrs. Qingping County to have an audience with her. In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Qingping County entered the palace and entered Zhaoyun Hall to meet Concubine Xian.

At this time, Mrs. Qingpingjun, who was sitting under the concubine Xian, was feeling uneasy, and the smile on her face was a little stiff. She didn't expect that after Aye came to Zhuo Mansion to meet her husband that day, she would throw her a hot mountain yu, and Still the kind that can't be pushed away.Although she was unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to obey the request of Aye and her husband, so someone sent a message to the palace, saying that she wanted to see the concubine Xian.

While waiting at home, she was actually praying secretly in her heart, hoping that the Concubine Xian would disagree with her, but she didn't expect that, she only handed in the word in the morning, and she was allowed to enter the palace in the afternoon.Mrs. Qingping County sighed, she had no choice but to pack herself up, carrying the hot mountain yu in her bosom, and entered the palace on a carriage.

After arriving at the Zhaoyun Palace, she chatted with Concubine Xian for a while, and then complimented Concubine Xian on her clothes and headgear. Finally, seeing the time for the key of the palace gate slowly approaching, she had no choice but to pull herself together and smile. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me that my wife is asking to see your Majesty today. I really have something to ask for."

Concubine Xian's spirit was shaken, and she thought to herself that she finally came. She sat here with Mrs. Qingping County talking nonsense for so long, and she almost ran out of patience. She was just about to ask her to come back tomorrow, but she finally lost her composure.She smiled slightly, and said with a gentle face: "Mrs. Qingping County is too polite. If you have anything to do, just say it. If you can help, I am obliged to do so."

Mrs. Qingping County heard that Concubine Xian did not die, her eyes darkened. She raised her eyes and scanned the hall, faltering and daring not to speak. Concubine Xian's eyes lit up when she saw her, it seemed that what the other party asked for was not true. Little, she couldn't say it in front of the palace servant, so she wanted to hear why the other party came.So she opened her mouth to dismiss the palace servants, in exchange for a grateful smile from Mrs. Qingping County.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know who to turn to. Your Highness happened a few days ago. My niece's eyes were red from crying. I was in a daze. I was so anxious. The lady looked It really hurts my heart." Madam Qingping County took out her handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes while speaking.

"My palace is very worried after hearing this, and I feel pity for Mrs. Xiao even more. It's hard for the palace to have such a thing happen. My wife has to persuade Mrs. Xiao when I go back." Concubine Xian's heart beat faster and faster, she felt It can be seen that the request that Mrs. Qingping County is about to say must be related to the crown prince and concubine.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your concern, but my wife's niece was overly worried, and that day, there was an aggressive maid in the mansion who actually set a fire in the niece's wing room, burned all the boxes and cages, and... ..." At this point, Mrs. Qingping County didn't know how to speak, she hesitated for a long time, her face was flushed, and she still didn't have the courage to say that Yuzhang was broken.

"Madam, just speak up if you have something to say. I guarantee that no one will know about it when you leave Zhaoyun Hall." Concubine Xian's eyes became brighter and brighter, she couldn't help urging her, and gave her a guarantee.

"Forgive me for trespassing." Mrs. Qingping County pursed her lips, got up and walked towards Concubine Xian, bent down and said a few words in her ear quickly, Concubine Xian's face changed drastically after hearing this, and she said in a low voice: "Where is the maid from?" How dare you..." Don't blame Mrs. Qingping County for not daring to say it, even she regretted stepping into this muddy water after hearing it.

"Your Majesty, the minister's wife is helpless, so she has the cheek to enter the palace to beg to see the Empress. I only hope that the Empress will extend her helping hand and save the Xiao family. The Xiao family will definitely remember the empress's kindness and virtue." The lady of Qingping County saw that the concubine Xian had changed. Turning pale, he hurriedly took a step back and knelt down, with snot and tears, he said mournfully.

Concubine Xian made up her mind, her face was still a little ugly. She never thought that Xiao's family would be so bold as to hide the fact that Yuzhang was broken, and now she still wants to help them suppress this matter through herself. .Where did the Xiao family get the confidence to think that they would definitely help? !The more Concubine Xian thought about it, the angrier she became. It was true that she wanted to find an excuse for the Xiao family, but she never thought about getting herself into it.

Hearing Mrs. Qingping County's voice, she seemed to be implying that the Xiao family would be on her side. She raised her hand involuntarily and touched her lower abdomen. Her little days this month are late, because she is still not sure, so She didn't dare to say anything, but if she really got pregnant with a dragon heir, the help from the Xiao family would be very attractive.Moreover, the Zhuo family and the Xiao family were in-laws, and Zhuo Jingfan had already been abolished. Unless the Zhuo family sent another woman into the palace, the Zhuo family would definitely follow the Xiao family and stand on their side.

She pondered slowly, and her face gradually returned to normal. The lady of Qingping County looked at her secretly, knowing that the words just now touched Concubine Xian's heart, so she supported her body even lower, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm telling you the truth. , this matter was not my wife's idea, but my wife's father saw his granddaughter's sadness, and he couldn't bear it, so he pointed out my wife's way."
