Tang Xueyao looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't believe her eyes.

Although she doesn't like Concubine Shu from the bottom of her heart, she likes the simple and kind Xiao Jiu from the bottom of her heart.

When she first heard that he went to the imperial mausoleum to accompany Concubine Shu, she was worried. She didn't expect that the meeting would be in the deep palace courtyard, where he would be bullied.

Tang Xueyao's beautiful face was full of anger. She strode forward and said to the maid behind her, "Alan, kick them all away."

Her voice is deep and powerful, like the penetrating voice of a deep-sea whale, which makes people feel trembling for no reason.

When Grandma Zhang saw her, she glanced at Ning Rui in the corner with a hint of unnoticeable worry on her face.

At that time, Granny Si, who had been holding back for many years and finally managed to get started but was suddenly interrupted, looked at Tang Xueyao with a very unkind look.

She raised her face and said sarcastically: "Hey, this is the harem, the territory of the concubines. Who are you to act wild here?"

Tang Xueyao looked at her arrogant look and sneered, disdainfully speaking, and winked at Alan.

Alan took the order. She was ruthless and didn't say much. She kicked several nuns in the stomach with such force that they fell to the ground and rolled around, wailing continuously.

"Ouch! My old waist." Aunt Si covered her stomach and rushed to Tang Xueyao angrily. She pointed at her nose and cursed: "Damn bitch, I am the nanny next to Concubine Yuan Gui who is in the limelight recently. Mom, if you dare to do this to me, be careful that my master will not let you go."

"Concubine Yuan Gui? Who is that?"

Tang Xueyao tilted her head and said with a harmless smile: "I'm sorry, I'm short-sighted. After all, I know all cats and dogs, not to mention you can't even compare to cats and dogs."

"You, you are courting death!"

Aunt Si's face was crossed, her eyes were shining with a faint light, and she put her withered hands on her hips and said: "Damn bitch, you dare to slander our noble concubine, just wait and see how she teaches you a lesson."

With that said, she left with a group of fat nuns.

Tang Xueyao squinted her eyes and looked at their leaving figures inquiringly.

These people are very arrogant and cannot guarantee that someone is instigating them behind their backs, so they dare to be so arrogant.

"elder sister!"

The man's voice was soft, and his eyes looked at Tang Xueyao as innocently as a deer.

Tang Xueyao came to her senses and walked towards Ning Rui. Seeing his dull expression, she tentatively called him softly, "Ning Rui, do you still remember me?"

Ning Rui put down the broken bowl in his hand. He tilted his head like a puppy and swayed obediently from side to side. He suddenly raised his hand and said, "You are my sister. You are the sister who occasionally appears in my dreams. By the way, in my dreams and Where is your brother? Why haven't you come to see Rui'er for a long time?"

Tang Xueyao looked at his appearance, her breathing was a little unsmooth, like a drowning person using up the last trace of oxygen in his chest.

Xiaojiu, what have you experienced in these years?
She squatted down, her eyes slightly moist, and looked at the man with eyes that were like the first warm rays of spring sun, the gentleness that can inspire people after a long period of coldness.

"Xiaojiu, can my sister take you for treatment?"

Ning Rui put her slender and round index finger to her mouth, her little face wrinkled, and she said with a little tangle: "Sister, do you need to drink a lot of bitter medicine to treat the disease? The medicines that grandma brought before are very bitter, little one. Jiu never wants to drink herbs again.”

"Mammy?"

"Yes, grandma always brings me a lot of medicine in the middle of the night, and every time I try to cheat and return it, she cries and cries, and Xiaojiu can only drink the medicine in a whimpering manner."

Tang Xueyao couldn't laugh or cry at his child-like tone. She was trying to find out the whereabouts of her grandma so that she could find out what happened to Xiao Jiu over the years. But before she could speak, Xiao Jiu's amber eyes were shining brightly.Ning Rui stood up and greeted him, "Mommy, Mommy, why are you back again? How was Xiaojiu's performance just now? Isn't it amazing!"

After returning, Nanny Zhang looked outside the hall again and again. After confirming that no one was there, she pulled Ning Rui behind her and looked at Tang Xueyao with a wary expression.

Tang Xueyao stood up, looked at Nanny Zhang's face, her frown relaxed slightly, and then said: "You are the nanny next to Concubine Shu."

"No, that's right!"

A trace of panic flashed across Nanny Zhang's cloudy eyes, and the defense on her face full of grooves became more and more obvious.

Tang Xueyao knew that Mammy was afraid that she would take it out on Ning Rui because of what Concubine Shu had done.

She didn't explain either, because she knew it would be useless to explain herself.

She waved her wide sleeves nonchalantly, "Your current situation must be very bad, otherwise you wouldn't be able to meet the Ninth Prince every night and treat him."

The nanny's face visibly stiffened, and Tang Xueyao struck while the iron was hot.

She took a step forward and said, "How about I make a deal with you?"

"You only need to tell me what happened to Xiao Jiu, and I will treat him, how about it? You should know that I am a miracle doctor given by His Majesty. As long as I am here, Xiao Jiu will be fine."

Nanny Zhang's eyes were a little tangled. She looked at Ning Rui behind her, and then at Tang Xueyao who looked calm. She gritted her teeth and knelt at Tang Xueyao's feet while crying.

"Princess Han, please save the Ninth Prince."

"After Concubine Shu was sent to the imperial mausoleum, the people in Shuning Palace quickly dispersed, and the old slave was demoted to the Huanyi Bureau. I only know that shortly after the imperial concubine's accident, a concubine Yuan moved into Shuning Palace. , that is, the current Concubine Yuan Gui. She had just moved in. The prince was unhappy and contradicted her a few times. Concubine Yuan Gui said nothing in front of everyone at the time, but later on, I don’t know what means she used to make the emperor take the nine. The prince adopted her."

Speaking of this, her face became angry, "I can't find out what happened in Shuning Palace later."

"I only heard that Concubine Yuan Gui coaxed the emperor to grant a new palace, and the Ninth Prince suddenly became very filial and carried everyone to the imperial mausoleum. The Shuning Palace was completely abandoned, and the old slave didn't care at that time. , it was only during the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last that I unknowingly walked to this palace that was like a cold palace and discovered a shocking secret."

Tang Xueyao's eyes dimmed, and she said quietly: "Xiao Jiu has been locked up here by Concubine Yuan Gui, and has her brain been damaged?"

"That's right, Concubine Yuan Guifei sent several unpopular nuns to deliver meals to His Highness every day."

Speaking of this, Grandma Zhang clenched her hands and was very angry.

She continued: "Those nuns took the opportunity to beat and scold His Highness every day, leaving His Highness with no good skin. When I peeked at His Highness, they happened to catch me. From then on, I was monitored by them. You can’t inform the emperor.”

"I had no choice but to bribe one of the nuns and let her hint to those people that they would raise His Highness and be their flesh and blood. This is how I was able to keep His Highness alive until now."

Tang Xueyao wondered: "How did you convince them not to touch Xiaojiu before Xiao Guan."

"To be fair to the princess, after the empress was punished, the people in Shuning Palace took a break. I took the opportunity to get some jewelry, but I have already used it all to please the nuns, so they can tolerate it after taking the money."

Tang Xueyao looked at Nanny Zhang with a complicated expression.

This grandma is kind-hearted, otherwise, I don’t know what would happen to Xiaojiu.

By the way, Concubine Yuan Gui was so soft and weak at every banquet, but she didn't expect to be so vicious behind her back.

Didn't she think about the consequences of doing this?
Or does it mean that there is an expert behind her to support her?
