Ci Jinzhi

The girl wearing the clothes of a palace maid bent down and lowered her head while carrying the injured palace maid on her back. She had almost no sense of presence, but her presence was amazing at this moment.

Like a sharp knife, it stands out of place in a soft and quiet boudoir.

Until now, Princess Xuan feels it is unreal.

"Xin...Miss Xin." Choosing the most appropriate title, Princess Xuan asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why did you -"

Will he be sentenced to death by his father?

Princess Xuan did not say this. Even though she didn't know the cause and effect, she felt that it was outrageous for her father to kill Miss Xin.

Although Xinyou looked calm, her mind was a little dazed.

When she chose to escape to the inner garden to buy time, she never expected to be protected by Princess Xuan.

This girl of her own age, a timid and unloved princess in the eyes of the people, realized that she was being hunted. Without hesitation, she pointed at the old tree on the mountainside to signal her to hide, then slashed the palace maid's calf, and pushed the palace maid away. Enter the cave.

After a moment of consideration, Xinyou chose to believe the girl in front of her.

"I can only talk to you alone."

Princess Xuan ordered the maid to leave, and in an instant there were only two people left in the room.

Xin You lowered his voice: "I suspect that Jin Shang is being controlled by someone, even -"

"Even what?"

"Even changed people."

Princess Xuan covered her mouth to stop her exclamation, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood: "Xin, Miss Xin, are you kidding me?"

Xin You smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, Princess, do you think I am a joker?"

"But...how is this possible..." Princess Xuan murmured, still not believing it.

"The yellow boat I was riding in caught fire, and I fell into the river for several days before being recovered. When King Xiu and I rushed back from Guangcheng, a few more days passed, and then I saw Jinshang until we reached the capital..." Xin You's voice Calm down, not only to tell Princess Xuan, but also to sort out.

"But if, as Miss Xin said, the emperor's grandmother and aunt have both met the emperor, wouldn't they recognize him?"

"It is true that you may not recognize me." Xin You's tone was more certain. "Now everyone knows that I am in poor health, and there are not many people who can see me. When those ministers see me, they can't stay there for etiquette. Stare at Jin. But the Queen Mother and the eldest princess only saw Jin for a brief moment and never came close..."

"Then if the father - he is fake, where is the real father?"

Xinyou shook his head.

By this point, she wasn't optimistic.

The person in Qianqing Palace now may be fake, it's just her guess. If the guess is correct, it would be a good thing that the missing person is still alive. If he is no longer alive, then this lie will become true.

The motherhood of the Queen Mother and the sisterhood of Princess Zhaoyang, their respect comes from that person. When that person doesn't care at all, he becomes a mirror.

"Miss Xin, are these just your guesses?" Princess Xuan asked after calming down.

Xin You was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Yes, it's just a guess I made after seeing Jin Shang today."

She could not coax Princess Xuan who did not hesitate to protect her.

Princess Xuan lowered her head slightly, and for a long time there was a slight movement outside the door.

"Your Highness, Ling'er and Huan'er are back."

Princess Xuan's tense heartstrings relaxed and she looked at Xin You: "What will happen next?"

"Let's get out of the palace first."

Regardless of whether the person in Qianqing Palace is real or fake, she will only die if she is trapped in the palace. As long as you can leave the palace, there will be more opportunities.

By this time, Xin You was more inclined to believe that his judgment was correct.

The man was so anxious to kill her that he didn't even care about pretending.

"Leaving the palace -" Princess Xuan thought, "It's definitely not possible in the past two days. You can hide in my room first and wait for me to check the situation."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

Princess Xuan hesitated for a moment and swallowed her words so that Xin You didn't have to call her "Her Royal Highness".

Now is not the time to dwell on this.

After Xin You was settled, Princess Xuan went to Concubine Li's place. In the past few months, Libi was in a good mood every day and was busy preparing for her daughter to leave the court.

"Xuan'er is here." Concubine Li smiled broadly when she saw Princess Xuan.

"Concubine, Xuan'er has something to tell you."

Concubine Li waved her hand and dismissed the palace guests.

"What's the matter with Xuan'er?" Seeing her daughter sitting down next to her, Li Bin's heart was filled with warmth.

"Eunuch Li Wei, who is beside my father, has led many people to search for Miss Xin in the Houyuan Garden."

Li Bin was startled: "What's wrong with Miss Xin?"

Fangning Palace has always been low-key and non-controversial, and is used to living with the door closed. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and Libi had not heard the news yet.

"It was said that Miss Xin was disrespectful to Emperor Father, and Emperor Father wanted to kill her, so Miss Xin fled to the back garden..."

Concubine Li's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she took a breath: "How could your Majesty do this!"

"Mother Concubine—" Princess Xuan called Concubine Li softly, her voice inaudible, "I hid Miss Xin."

"What?" Li Bin stood up suddenly, her face full of shock.

Princess Xuan lowered her eyes apologetically: "Miss Xin is in Xuan'er's dormitory."

Li Bin's vision went dark and she shook her body.

Princess Xuan hurriedly supported her: "Concubine, are you okay?"

"I'm fine - no, I'm fine!" Libi's whole body was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave, "Xuan'er, you, you -"

Princess Xuan knelt down and said, "My daughter is not good and she has brought you into trouble."

Li Bin sat on the low couch to relieve her panic. It took a while before she realized what she was doing and pulled Princess Xuan up.

Concubine Li's hands were cold and damp, and Princess Xuan felt even more guilty: "Concubine, I'm sorry."

Li Bin's voice trembled slightly: "Xuan'er, why are you so bold?"

"Xuan'er is not bold. When she saw Miss Xin being hunted, she didn't think about anything..."

By the time her rationality was fully restored, she had already made her choice.

To this day, she doesn't feel regretful, just scared.

Afraid of dying, afraid of causing harm to the biological mother.

"Why would the Emperor grant Miss Xin's death?" Concubine Li couldn't understand.

The emperor's feelings for Queen Xin, a concubine like her who has been in the palace for many years, have long been aware of it. After getting back Miss Xin, she is clearly his only favorite. How can you say that you fall out with each other?

It was not another punishment, but death, which made Libi shudder.

If this is true for Miss Xin, who is the apple of his eye, what about other people?

Princess Xuan shook her head and did not tell Xin You's guess.

"Did Miss Xin say what to do next?"

"Miss Xin wants to find an opportunity to leave the palace."

Li Bin clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms. The pain couldn't dispel the fear, but it made her more awake.

"Xuan'er, Miss Xin can't hide with you."

Princess Xuan's face changed: "Concubine, do you want to hand over Miss Xin?"

Concubine Li was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You girl, who do you think my mother-in-law is? It would have been fine if you stayed out of the matter at that time. Since you chose to save people, you must save them to the end."

Li Wei was no more kind than Sun Yan. Even if he handed Xin You over now, he would be offended. Once he said something in front of the emperor, the outcome would be unpredictable.

What's more, the mother and daughter have received kindness from Miss Xin, and it's time to repay it.

Let’s talk about Xiaoyouzi’s golden finger setting. She can only “see” the misfortunes that will happen to others, but not her own. If you look at others, you can only look at them in the last few days, not even for a long time.
