After the fall of the country, the crown princess was spoiled by the new emperor

Chapter 228 Slow Response

Zi Yan didn't know either, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, go back first."

Xu Yan nodded, hurried back to Jiangzhu Pavilion, and ordered the clever little eunuch to inquire about the news.

It's just that Yuqian's mouth is very tight, and Wang Chun is slippery, without Wen Xiao's permission, others can't ask anything, Xu Yan couldn't help but get nervous.

In the evening, Wang Chun went back and forth to Wen Xiao.

"Your Majesty, the people who tipped off the ministers have already been caught. The leader is the eunuch who was the head of the palace. These people have collected money and acted as eyes and ears for the ministers, listening to what's going on in the palace.

Sending things to the concubines and masters of the palaces today is also thinking that they are not precious items, so I asked my subordinates to do it quietly. If the concubines and concubines were not vigilant, the slaves would not know about it, so I ask the emperor to forgive me. "

Wen Xiao leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where did you collect things?"

"The slave checked it out, and only your concubine, concubine Jieyu, and concubine master received the item. Your concubine's was two pots of camellias. Naturally, the things had already been delivered. The concubine Jieyu was very grateful for last night's song. Interested, I summoned people and listened to two more pieces of music, and sent them out of the palace after offering a reward, and the concubine's is the pen and ink, which I have already accepted."

Wen Xiao frowned, feeling a little displeased with Xu Yan.

I have never treated them badly in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and I have repeatedly ordered the harem not to participate in politics. She also covets a few pens and inks, which is really petty.

"Your majesty." The little eunuch came in and reported, "My lord is here to invite the emperor to dinner."

Wen Xiao looked displeased and didn't answer, Wang Chun immediately thought about it, and turned away.

"Eunuch Wang." Xu Yan was very disturbed, pretending to be calm: "Is the emperor still busy?"

Wang Chun said with a smile: "There are a lot of booklets. I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to go to the Jiangzhu Pavilion for dinner. Please come back, my concubine."

"That's it." Xu Yan's heart was still not settled: "Eunuch Wang, may I ask what happened today?"

Wang Chun looked suddenly enlightened, and immediately explained: "It's just a few palace people making troubles, don't worry, the concubine has already driven them out of the palace."

"Is that so?" Xu Yan doubted what he said, but she didn't dare to ask further.

"My concubine, please go back." Wang Chun went in after finishing speaking, and he didn't want to mention Xu Yan.

When walking back, she bumped into Shen Huaijiao head-on, Xu Yan didn't want to talk to her, but Shen Huaijiao quickened her pace and directly stopped her.

"See Lady Jieyu." Xu Yan had no choice but to greet her.

Shen Huaijiao looked proud: "You look so bad, could it be that you were reprimanded by the emperor?"

"Why did your lady say such a thing?" Xu Yan forced herself to ask back: "The concubine has not done anything wrong, so how could the emperor scold the concubine for no reason?"

Shen Huaijiao laughed out loud: "Are you sure you did nothing wrong?"

Xu Yan who asked this question lost her mind for an instant, but Shen Huaijiao deliberately didn't say anything, and bypassed her to see Wen Xiao. Seeing her entering the room, Xu Yan felt annoyed.

"Master, what does Empress Jieyu mean?" Zi Yan was also worried.

Xu Yan frowned and said nothing, and hurried back to Jiangzhu Pavilion first, seeing a table of dinner with no appetite, she thought for a long time before she suddenly realized, her face turned pale immediately.

"What's the matter, master?" Zi Yan was terrified by her.

Xu Yan's voice was trembling: "Your Majesty hates meddling in politics in the harem most. I accepted the gift from the minister. Did your Majesty misunderstand that I was colluding with the former court?"

Zi Yan was also frightened, and quickly comforted her: "It's just pens and inks, and they are not valuables. How can it be considered collusion with the former court?"
