The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 247 Fox Hair Hairpin

Yuexi lowered her eyes flattered and said, "Princess, Yuexi knows that she has committed a serious crime, but in fact...you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Just try to take the medicine, and I'm only [-]% sure." Zhao Shuang took a sip of tea with her head down, seemingly unintentionally said, "It's just a little effort, it's not a big deal."

"Thank you, Princess." Yuexi took the mahogany box, got up and took out a fiery red fox hair hairpin from the bag, and pushed it in front of Zhao Shuang. "This hairpin...is just a gift for the princess."

Zhao Shuang glanced at the hairpin, feeling a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that when she and Ming Jing were shopping in Changzhou City, she saw a fox hair hairpin, which was handmade by craftsmen from Beiliang.

At that time, I thought that hairpin was very unique, but at that time she was dressed as a man, so she didn't stay in front of the hairpin shop for too long. Later, she also wanted to look for similar hairpins in Yucheng, but she never saw it again.

"How do you know..." Zhao Shuang looked at the man across from him in surprise.

"The time I saw you in Changzhou City, you turned into a man, but stared at a hairpin for a long time." Yuexi smiled shyly, "I recognized you as a sister at that time."

"..."

"I made this hairpin by myself a few days ago, using the fox fur from that old fox fur." ​​Yuexi pointed to a fiery red fox fur hanging on a hanger. colored hair."

"You...have a heart." Zhao Shuang took the hairpin, and when he heard him call her "sister", she was quite proud, but also a little embarrassed, and asked, "Have you ever heard about the palace?"

"I heard... something happened to the emperor, unexpectedly, that puppet actually pretended to be the emperor..." Yuexi stroked her brocade-like long hair like a crane combing its feathers.

"Hush!" Zhao Shuang hastily made a silent gesture, stopping him from continuing, "You must keep the fact that Xiao Zongheng asked you to make offerings to the puppet a secret from everyone. The puppet will definitely die if it eats my talisman paper. Now I just Worried... where is the real emperor locked up by Chen Yang and Honghu? Have you ever heard Xiao Zongheng talk about the whereabouts of the emperor?"

Yuexi lowered her head and thought for a while, "Sorry, I really can't remember."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shuang took out another copper coin with a red thread from his sleeve and said, "You take this copper coin with you to ward off evil spirits and defend yourself."

"Thank you, sister." Yuexi took the copper coins and blinked slyly.

"Leave Shangjing after you heal your wounds, and don't let the people of Yongchang Hou Mansion find you." Zhao Shuang paused, and then instructed, "Don't reveal who tampered with the Longevity Tea. "

"Sister, don't worry, Yuexi won't say anything even if she dies." Yuexi frowned, looking hesitant to speak.

"What else is there?" Zhao Shuang stood up and was about to leave, but he seemed to have something to say.

"My sister, please don't tell Linghu Kong about my presence here!" Yuexi suddenly knelt down on her knees and bowed deeply to her, "My sister must keep the secret for me."

Zhao Shuang sighed, so many things happened, how could he have the face to see Linghu Kong again? "Don't worry, I understand."

Just as Zhao Shuang and Xiang Dong walked out of the gate of the west courtyard, they saw Ling Lan walking towards them.

"Princess, Concubine Xian has come to the Duke's Mansion. She is in the Chenxiang Garden and said she wants to see you." Ling Lan glanced around and saw that there were no other servants nearby, so she whispered, "Concubine Xian's face is not right. , like...like being frightened by something."

Concubine Xian, isn't she Zhang Ruixue's younger sister, Zhang Xiaoxue?Now that something happened in Weiyang Palace, she dared to run out, what did she want to do with herself?
"What did she come to see me for?" Zhao Shuang asked as he walked.

"Concubine Xian didn't say anything, but..." Ling Lan glanced at the stone pavilion in the Chenxiang Garden in the distance, "However, the maidservant saw that she seemed to have come out secretly, and she was wearing a green dress of the little yellow gate under the cloak. "

"Oh?" Zhao Shuang narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Arriving at the stone pavilion in the middle of Chenxiang Garden, a black figure turned his head and took off the hood on his head when he saw her.

It really was Zhang Xiaoxue.

"My concubine Xian." Zhao Shuang saluted symbolically.

"Princess, please forgive me!" Zhang Xiaoxue helped her up, then winked at Ling Lan, Ling Lan pulled Xiang Dong back, and stood guard at the bottom of the steps of the stone pavilion.

It was raining lightly this morning, the wind was a bit strong, and there were more sergeants from the Xuanwu Battalion patrolling the streets. It is not strange for a woman to go to the capital to wear a cloak and a cloak, but it is the clothes she wears under the cloak .

"I don't know what the reason is that the concubine Xian is here?" Zhao Shuang looked at Zhang Xiaoxue curiously, and she was indeed wearing a green brocade robe from Xiaohuangmen under the cloak as Ling Lan said.

"Princess, please sit down." Zhang Xiaoxue pulled Zhao Shuang to sit down, looked at her cautiously, and said, "Today... I am here to beg Princess for help!"

"How do you say that?" Zhao Shuang withdrew her hand and looked at her with both hands in her sleeves.

"Last night...Last night when He Yushu celebrated his [-]th birthday and He Yushu left the palace early, the emperor summoned me to Ziyun Palace..." Zhang Xiaoxue lowered her eyebrows and said slowly, "I had dinner with the emperor, Sitting in front of the window playing chess, who knows...who knows that the emperor... drank a cup of unknown water, suddenly started coughing loudly, then...then..."

Zhang Xiaoxue's face was pale and her eyes were terrified, as if she had seen a ghost.

Zhao Shuang naturally knew that the puppet drank the longevity tea that she had tampered with, so she was not surprised at all.

"Concubine Xian said slowly, with Bengong here, no one can hurt you." She patted Zhang Xiaoxue on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Whether you believe it or not, the eldest princess, what I said...everything is true. The emperor coughed loudly, and then started to vomit. After a while, he threw up all his stomach and intestines. I was so scared that I hurriedly sent the palace people to seek the imperial doctor. Who knows... before the imperial doctor came, the emperor... he turned into a puddle of black blood." Zhang Xiaoxue swallowed nervously, then lowered her head and wiped her tears, "I... I was terrified , and didn’t dare to leak the news, so she ran to Qingning Palace to report the matter to the Queen Mother, but...but the Queen Mother...she actually said that I was crazy...all I saw were illusions, and I was going to be killed. Into the limbo and locked up with those crazy women!"

"The emperor is her only reliance. If the emperor is gone, the queen mother will of course block the news and get rid of everyone who knows." Zhao Shuang sighed, looked at the trembling girl again, and asked, "Then what are you doing?" ran out?"

"I was locked in a wing room of Qingning Palace. I didn't find a chance until it was bright. I changed my clothes and escaped from the palace." Zhang Xiaoxue untied her cloak, revealing the light green robe inside, and asked Zhao Shuang again. , "Eldest Princess, Your Majesty... What disease does Your Majesty suffer from? How could... How could it suddenly turn into a puddle of blood?"

"That person is not the emperor, but a puppet." Zhao Shuang took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and placed them on the stone table twice. "The real emperor...is still in Weiyang Palace, but unfortunately I can't calculate his exact location." .”
