Chapter 325 A Heavy Secret
Walking out of Princess Huiming's wing, Xu Jiao walked in a daze for a while, and then stopped.

Thinking of what happened just now, she twitched the corners of her mouth slightly. The little girl Li Xie was awkward but sensitive, but her heart was not bad. It was a good thing, but as the daughter of the Li family, and Princess Huiming Mother, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune.

When a gust of wind came, she raised her hands and tightened the skirt of her clothes. In such a midsummer daylight, she suddenly felt a little cold.

When I raised my head, I saw that the sky was still clear, and the blue sky was covered with dark clouds at some point, and even the wind blowing was slightly damp, blowing away all the sweltering heat between the sky and the earth, watching, Today is really going to change!
Xu Jiao looked up at the sky, and the dark gray leaden cloud seemed to fall in her eyes, casting a layer of gloom.

The sky has changed, and the bright scenery seems to be covered with a layer of gray shadows. The woman dressed as a woman looks up at the sky above her head. The wind blows and blows her skirt fluttering. In the eyes of those who came, it seemed that no matter how strong the wind was, it would be able to blow her away completely, which made people feel a little startled.

"Ma'am." Hongying had been guarding not far from Princess Huiming's wing, following behind Xu Jiao, like a silent shadow, and only then softly called Xu Jiao.

Hearing Hongying's reminder, Xu Jiao withdrew his gaze from looking at the sky, turned his head sideways, and saw a purple shadow standing under a locust tree not far away.

Wearing the bright purple shirt on his body, he may have a straight figure, and because he has been soaked in poetry and books since childhood, wearing the same purple shirt on him makes him look a little different from others.Only wearing a purple shirt and a mask, his whole body feels completely different from usual. If Xu Jiao hadn't confirmed who was under the mask, how could he have thought of such two completely different people together?
That was Jing Qin, and Xu Jiao knew very well that the person she wanted to call "Second Brother" had a weird temper, but since he became brother and sister these days, he has taken care of him.He is currently in charge of thoroughly investigating today's headless murder...

For a moment, Xu Jiao almost moved towards that person... But the person in front of her was the commander of Ziyiwei, she didn't know him well, and she was determined not to show favoritism.

Suddenly, all kinds of thoughts flashed across Xu Jiao's eyes, but he never took a step. Instead, he bowed his knees towards the other party with a slightly calm expression and blessed him gently, then turned around and walked away slowly.

Under the locust tree, Commander Zi looked at her receding back. Behind the mask, her peach blossom eyes seemed to be shaded by gray lead clouds, too dark to see the light of the sky, gloomy and bottomless.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain today." Before boarding the carriage, Xu Jiao stopped, turned his head and looked at the sky again, and said in a low tone.

"Ma'am, are we back home yet?" Hongying looked at her and asked softly.

Xu Jiao's eyes dimmed suddenly, "No! Let's go into the palace!" At the same time as the words fell, Xu Jiao had already boarded the carriage neatly, loosened her hands, and the curtain fell, covering her figure.

"Yes!" Hongying replied, without further ado, she got on her horse, and with the sound of hooves, she drove away from the gate of Four Seasons Villa in the sudden drizzle.

On the way, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky was so dark that it seemed to be night.The long-awaited rain finally arrived unexpectedly on this day, but Xu Jiao felt no joy in his heart, only felt that his heart was also soaked by the rain, damp and cold.

She came without a summons, although the guards at the palace gate did not dare to stop her, but there was no soft sedan chair to meet the palace people.

Hongying was holding an umbrella, and the master and servant braved the rain and walked in the narrow corridor of the palace city. After a while, half of their bodies were wet.

"Madam, shall we go to Anfu Palace?" Hongying asked softly.

Xu Jiao kept walking, "Let's go to Cuiwei Palace first!"

When we arrived at Cuiwei Palace, it was raining so hard that the guards at the gate of the palace shrank their hands and feet under the eaves to hide from the rain. When they saw Xu Jiao coming, they hurriedly led her in.

Xu Jiao stopped and asked them, knowing that Wang Wan was really there, so she asked them to stop, and she went in by herself.

The two guards knew that Princess Yingyue was as close as sisters to their concubine, the concubine, and she even told the princess that she didn't have to report when she came. With such heavy rain, who can be lazy?Immediately, he responded happily, stopped, and watched the master and servant walk quickly into the rain curtain.

It was raining heavily, and the huge Cuiwei Palace seemed to be much deserted, and I met people in the corridors along the way, and they just saluted from a distance, and the closer they walked towards Wang Wan's bedroom, the fewer people there were.

When they got to the door of the bedroom, there were no maids or servants guarding the door, instead, Caiyun and Caixia were guarding there in person.

When Xu Jiao saw them, his footsteps were slightly stagnant, and when Caiyun and Caixia saw her, their expressions changed even more, it was a look like a ghost.

Although it was only for a moment, after the two of them looked at each other, they rushed over to meet her and bowed their knees to salute her, "Master Yingyue, why are you here suddenly under such heavy rain?" The sound was very loud, It was so loud that it even overwhelmed the sound of the crashing rain. If there were people in the dormitory, they would definitely be able to hear it clearly.

Hongying silently closed her umbrella at the back, while Xu Jiao raised her eyes to glance at the bedroom behind them, suppressing all kinds of thoughts in her heart, and said calmly, "Is the concubine Wan there? I have something to look for her."

Caiyun and Caixia secretly glanced at each other again, Caiyun hesitated, "Our empress is not feeling well, she is resting in the hall right now, or else, the wronged princess will go to the side hall to sit and rest for a while, and let the maidservant go in to communicate. Say it?"

Xu Jiao didn't say a word, just looked at the direction of the bedroom thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at Caiyun and Caixia, his gaze was not sharp, but he locked them with determination, such a pair of clear and pure, as if they could With eyes that see everything, seeing Caixia and Caiyun makes their backs stiff, and unexpectedly they are dripping with cold sweat
Caixia muttered, "Princess."

Xu Jiao didn't say a word, and said after a long while, "I won't go to the side hall. If you want to report it, you can report it. I'll just wait here." Xu Jiao came to Wang Wan's place, but never reported it. That's it.

Caiyun and Caixia looked at each other, looking at Xu Jiao, their expressions became even weirder, but their faces were pale and pale without any blood color, it was ugly.

After a moment of stalemate, Caiyun said in a hoarse voice, "Then Princess Lao will stay here for a while." After saying that, she exchanged a look with Caixia, then turned around.

It's just that she just walked to the door of the sleeping hall, but the curtain hanging in front of the door was suddenly opened from inside, Caiyun was caught off guard and bumped into the person inside, her body froze, the two looked at each other, the person dressed as a servant Already bowed and came out of the door, he slapped Xu Jiao a thousand times, "Your Majesty, invite the princess to come in."

The voice was low, as if it was about to be covered by the sound of rain.

When Xu Jiao's servant appeared, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and his gaze fell on him. After a while, he took it back, and then said to Hongying, "The clothes are very wet. You have to talk to Madam Wan for a while, you might as well follow Caiyun and the others to find clothes and change, so you don't catch a cold." Then he turned his head to Caiyun and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

The faces of Caiyun and Caixia were a little stiff, and they hurriedly laughed after hearing this, "Princess, don't worry. The maidservants will definitely take good care of Hongying lady."

Xu Jiao gave a faint "hmm", as if she didn't see their strange expressions, she took a step forward, passed them, and then the servant who was bent over the door with her face deeply buried, walked slowly into the bedroom.

The curtains in the hall are drooping, but there is a strong fragrance, not only that, but also some inexplicable smell.

Just as Xu Jiao stepped into the hall, her footsteps slowed down.After a pause of two breaths, he continued to take a step.

Turning the curtain, he raised his eyes and saw Wang Wan standing by the window.She seemed to have just gotten up, only wearing her pajamas, a plain satin cloak over her head, her raven-blue hair hanging down her shoulders, and she was standing in front of the open window, looking out.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and it was foggy. Everything was shrouded in fog, and I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know what she was looking at, but the side face looked extraordinarily focused.

Xu Shi heard the sound of footsteps, Wang Wan turned her head, looked at her and smiled, "Ajiao!" His eyes moved from her face and landed on her drenched skirt, and she immediately frowned. Mei, "Why are you all wet?" She couldn't stand by the window any longer, and walked over in three or two steps, taking Xu Jiao's hand, "Why did you suddenly enter the palace under such heavy rain?" , if you let me know in advance, I will send someone to pick you up. The clothes are all wet, what if you catch a cold in a while? Cai.” As he spoke, he wanted to raise his voice to call Caiyun or Caixia.

Xu Jiao's hand turned upwards, and held her hand instead. He looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Just find your dress and put it on for me for now. I want to talk to you alone." For a while, it may be inconvenient to have others present."

Wang Wan looked back at her, her eyes trembled almost imperceptibly, and after a while, she nodded and said, "Then follow me!" Then she pulled her behind the screen.

I found a dress for Xu Jiao from the cage, "You can change it as soon as possible!"

Xu Jiao took it, and Wang Wan slowly walked out of the screen, stood there looking at a certain place in the hall, her eyes were a little erratic, she seemed to be in a daze.

Waiting to hear the movement behind her, Wang Wan turned around and saw that Xu Jiao had changed into her dress, her eyes were looking at her calmly but deeply.

Wang Wan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, raised her hand and pointed to a soft couch by the window, "Don't you want to talk? Then go and sit over there, so you don't have to stand up for a while." She went ahead Stepping over, Xu Jiao was silent, and then followed.

The two sat down on the soft couch one after the other, Xu Jiao's eyes were fixed on Wang Wan from beginning to end, speechless but deep.

Wang Wan raised her face and smiled at her, "What do you want to say, what do you want to ask, Ajiao said bluntly, I'm not used to you like this."

Xu Jiao pondered for a moment, then said quietly, "May I ask?"

Wang Wan looked at Xu Jiao without blinking her eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Of course. As long as A Jiao wants to know about my affairs, as long as A Jiao asks, I will not hide it from you."

Xu Jiao looked at her, all kinds of emotions in her eyes were entangled, but she finally gritted her teeth and asked, "The servant who just came out of your palace." In fact, she felt a little strange when she came last time, but she thought it was because she was thinking too much. But just now.
"He's not a servant." Wang Wan said in a flat tone, Xu Jiao's expression changed slightly and she looked at her in a daze, but she still had a flat to indifferent expression, "I told you, I want to have A child of my own. These days, I have been taking care of my body, and I have persuaded His Majesty to take care of it with me, but there is probably no way for His Majesty, and I have to think of another way."

With a few words, she admitted Xu Jiao's unspoken guess. Xu Jiao's complexion changed drastically, and he lowered his voice, "Ah Wan, are you crazy? If such a thing leaks out"

"Just think I'm crazy, Ajiao, no matter how terrible it is, I've already done it." Wang Wan cut off her words, her expression was still calm, but her eyes were determined.

Looking at her, Xu Jiao rolled his throat again and again, at first he could taste a little bit of bitterness, but after a long time, it turned out to be a mixture of five flavors, unable to taste both sweet and bitter.

After a while, Xu Jiao nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "I know. It won't help to talk about it now. Since you have already done it, you have to prepare for the worst." Xu Jiao looked at Wang Wan with eyes wide open. The astonishment in the heart has gradually subsided, "I always hope that you get what you want, but apart from this, I care more about your safety."

Hearing Xu Jiao's words, Wang Wan's eyes moved, but there was a warm smile slowly rippling in her eyes, she stretched out her hand and held Xu Jiao's hand tightly, "Don't worry, I'm very happy." Be careful. As for His Majesty, am I not his lucky star? I am different from other women in the harem. Those women can't give birth to a royal heir, but it doesn't mean that I can't either. I am sure that once I do, Your Majesty will not If I have any doubts, I will only be ecstatic. As for the other things, I have already made up my mind. Ajiao just pretends to be completely ignorant of this matter."

"Don't worry, Ah Wan, I will definitely keep the secret for you." Xu Jiao said softly.

"I am relieved of Ajiao's behavior. I didn't tell you beforehand because of the complexity of the matter. I was afraid that involving you in it would be of no benefit to you. In fact, if I didn't happen to be smashed by you today, I didn't intend to Tell you." Wang Wan smiled and brought a plate of pastries on the low table in front of Xu Jiao, "Are you in the mood for some refreshments now?"

Xu Jiao didn't reach out to grab it in a hurry, she frowned and said to Wang Wan, "I entered the palace in a hurry today to ask for something." It's just that what happened just now had too much impact on her, until now, she It's just a secret that's been pressed into my heart for the time being, and I don't want to mention it for the time being.

"It must be a big deal for you to rush into the palace at this time." Wang Wan's expression is also serious, "I remember that today it seems that the princess from Beijie is hosting a banquet for the powerful women in Beijing, right? I also gave it to me I sent a post, but I retweeted it because I didn’t want to socialize, could it be related to this matter?”

Xu Jiao nodded, "Something happened to Ashu."
