princess

Chapter 56

When Xiao Yuanmin and the others arrived at the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager had already woken up, and Emperor Xuanhe was serving the decoction by himself. Except for Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Ning, all other concubines had also arrived.

After drinking the medicine, the empress dowager felt better, "The emperor asked Concubine Shu and the others to go back first, Aijia..." At the end, her voice dropped.

Emperor Xuanhe understood that the Queen Mother did not want to see them, after all they were all suspected of killing the Seventh Prince.

"It's my son's negligence." Emperor Xuanhe got up and said, "You all go back separately. If there is no call from the Queen Mother, don't bother you."

"Yes." At this time, no one would be in danger, seeing that the empress dowager is filial, if not for this time, who would want to come out.

After everyone retreated, the empress dowager said with tears in her eyes, "Emperor, is Xiaoqi really gone?"

Emperor Xuanhe sighed, then nodded and said, "Queen Mother, don't worry too much. If Queen Mother hurts her body because of Xiao Qi's incident, Xiao Qi won't be at ease either."

"My poor little Qi, who is so cruel." The empress dowager cried.

Xiao Yuzuo took the handkerchief and stepped forward to persuade, "Grandma Huang, pay attention to your health."

The empress dowager hugged Xiao Yuzuo, "Xiao Qi is such a lovely child..." After crying for a while, the empress dowager stopped crying, and said to Emperor Xuanhe in a hoarse voice, "The emperor should not be too sad, Pay attention to your body."

"Yes." Emperor Xuanhe said in a deep voice, "The queen mother will do the same."

"By the way, why did I hear that something happened in the hunting ground?" The Empress Dowager seemed to suddenly remember, "Is Yuan Min okay?"

"Grandma Huang, granddaughter is fine." Xiao Yuanmin stepped forward and said, "Second brother and fourth brother are fine, grandma Huang, don't worry."

The empress dowager beckoned Xiao Yuanmin to come over, took her hand to look carefully, and then said, "It's fine, it's fine."

Emperor Xuanhe glanced at the second prince, and suddenly asked, "Where's Chengde?"

Xiao Chengxuan said in a respectful voice, "Returning to the father, because of the matter of Prince Zheng, after the fourth brother escorted the princes of the subordinate countries back, and after the fourth brother left, the son only got the news of the seventh brother's accident, and he had already been notified, so the four Brother will be later."

Emperor Xuanhe narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, without saying a word.

Concubine Shu's expression changed when she left the Compassionate Ning Palace. The second prince and the others came back just now, but her son didn't show up. Could it be that something happened to her son?

Impossible, if something happened, the eldest princess and the others would not be so calm, could it be that they deliberately made trouble? Thinking of this, Concubine Shu was startled, and quickly called her confidants to guard the palace gate, and when she saw the fourth prince, let him immediately Go to the Temple of Compassion.

Concubine Rong was a little flustered, but she calmed down when she saw her son was fine. She was terrified when she heard about the accident at the hunting ground. She knew that her son would be punished this time, but as long as he was not injured, After all, His Majesty is Xuan'er's father.

After saying a few more words, the empress dowager asked, "Concubine Jing has been talking with Ai's family just now, and she was frightened when she heard the news. How is it now?"

Emperor Xuanhe was in a bit of a dilemma, but the only ones left at this time were children, and it was even more difficult to say, "Concubine Jing's fetal gas has moved, and she is afraid she will give birth prematurely. I have already sent an imperial physician to watch over her."

"It's all Aijia's fault..." The Empress Dowager didn't ask any more questions, she called the nanny beside her, "Go and see Concubine Jing for the emperor and Aijia."

"Yes."

Xiao Yuanmin watched the empress dowager's demeanor from the side, and felt that it was not accidental that she got to this point. You must know that the empress dowager must be more worried about her niece than others, but the empress dowager only asked a question until now, which seemed magnanimous on the contrary.

He didn't even let Emperor Xuanhe go to see Concubine Jing, but just sent his nanny there, saying that it was for the emperor and the empress dowager to watch, so that he would guard Concubine Jing now, so that no one would tamper with Concubine Jing when she was giving birth. .

And a few words also deepened the emperor's affection for Concubine Jing.

Xiao Yuanmin persuaded softly, "Imperial Grandma, Concubine Jing, will be safe and sound."

"Yes." Xiao Ningxin also said, "Don't worry, grandma." You must know that it is her concubine mother who is guarding Concubine Jing now. I sincerely hope that Concubine Jing is fine.

Xiao Chenglin followed behind Xiao Yuzuo and did not dare to speak, but just pulled Xiao Yuzuo's sleeves and looked at the Empress Dowager cautiously, which made Emperor Xuanhe feel a lot better.

After saying a few more words, Emperor Xuanhe took Xiao Yuanmin and the others away. After they left, the Empress Dowager's face changed. Concubine Jing was too impatient. What people said in the ear of the second princess, even if she really did what happened to the seventh prince, it shouldn't be so off-putting.

What's more, if the child has any problems because of this incident, the loss outweighs the gain.But the Empress Dowager didn't expect Concubine Jing to arrange these things behind her back, but that's good, wolves live longer than sheep, but Concubine Jing's methods still need to be improved.

This time, thanks to the fact that I pretended to faint and attracted the emperor to come over, I also sent my confidant mother to help Concubine Jing finish the work, otherwise... the empress dowager touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Let her come over when Mother Zhu returns."

"Yes."

Emperor Xuanhe took Xiao Yuanmin and the others back to the study, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me about the hunting ground today."

"Yes." Xiao Chengxuan narrated the matter. In fact, the hunting ground must have Emperor Xuanhe's manpower, and Emperor Xuanhe knew about it long ago, so Xiao Chengxuan told the truth.

As soon as Xiao Chengxuan finished his reply, Li Dezhong reported, "The fourth prince is seeking an audience outside."

"Let him come in." Emperor Xuanhe tapped his fingers on the table and said, "You all go back and have a good rest."

"Yes."

Several people separated after leaving the study room, without saying much, Xiao Ningxin dragged Xiao Chenglin back to Ningzhao Hall, Xiao Yuzuo followed Xiao Yuanmin to Fengyang Pavilion.

Madam Zheng and the others were waiting at the door, "Eldest princess, Your Majesty asked the second princess to stay in Fengyang Pavilion for a while."

Xiao Yuanmin frowned slightly, and nodded, "Brother, go back first, I will look for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiao Yuzuo originally wanted to say something to Xiao Yuanmin, but now is not a good time to talk, "Sister, relax."

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, "Madam Zheng, take my brother back."

"Yes." After saluting, Madam Zheng followed Xiao Yuzuo and left.

"Xiao Zhengmao go prepare hot water, I'll wash up." Xiao Yuanmin ordered.

"Yes." Little Madam Zheng had already prepared hot water, "Princess, let's use something first."

Xiao Yuanmin nodded. After a day of tiring today, she was indeed a little hungry. After eating some porridge and vegetable buns, Xiao Yuanmin took a rest and went to take a bath. The one who went to serve her was Mother Tang, and the other people she served After they were all driven out, Mother Tang whispered about what happened in the palace today.

In fact, who did the Seventh Prince's affairs, Xiao Yuanmin knew, she didn't expect that person would choose this opportunity, but I have to say that it was indeed a good opportunity, and even knocked Concubine Lin Gui into the bottom of the valley, with no possibility of turning around.

After all, Concubine Lin Gui is not suitable for raising children, she is not a good mother, if she can't even be fair to her own children, what about the other princes?

Emperor Xuanhe will definitely think of this next investigation.

"Ms. Xu is really cruel." Madam Tang sighed.

Although this was a deal between the Xu family and the eldest princess, Xu's move was really beautiful. Not only did he kill the seventh prince, but he also ruined the second princess, and even dragged Concubine Shu and the others into trouble.

"It's okay to be ruthless." Xiao Yuanmin leaned on the barrel, "It's nothing to do with us."

"Yes." If he hadn't made an appointment with Mrs. Xu earlier, and even Mrs. Xu sent someone over once, even Xiao Yuanmin would not have suspected this matter on Mrs. Xu.

After all, one is the son of a noble concubine, and the other is just a little Chang Zai. No one would have thought that such a humble Chang Zai would have such a means.

Anyway, Xu is destined to have no heirs, the two of them use each other, the more powerful Xu, the better, as long as it doesn't endanger her and her brother, she doesn't mind helping.

"Don't let my brother know about this." Xiao Yuanmin said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Mother Tang understood what Xiao Yuanmin meant, but she felt distressed. Anything the eldest princess did was not for the prince. If the prince knew that he had alienated the eldest princess, he would be really heartless.

"Let the people who serve the second princess be more careful." Xiao Yuanmin took a handful of water with his hand and watched the water leak from his fingers, "Don't inquire about anything, and I will take good care of the servants in Fengyang Pavilion. No one is allowed Gossip comes from me."

"Yes."

Xiao Yuanmin rubbed the center of his brows, "Also... Forget it, I'll go and have a look later and let the waiter come in." Although he still wanted to meet again, it's not good if he hasn't seen Xiao Qingrong after coming back for so long.

"Yes." Mother Tang let people from outside come in, and when Xiao Yuanmin came out, two maids wrapped her up in cotton cloth and waited for her to change.

"The second princess has been in a moody mood. The servant will bring a bowl of white fungus porridge for a while, and the eldest princess persuades the second princess to use some." Tang Nanny said as she helped Xiao Yuanmin dry her hair.

"En." Xiao Yuanmin responded, she was wearing a [-]% new normal clothes, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.

As soon as Xiao Yuanmin went out, she saw Madam Zheng who had come back, but there was nothing wrong with it. Instead, she asked Madam Tang to lead the way to see Xiao Qingrong.

Xiao Qingrong hugged her knees and curled up in the corner of the bed, neither crying nor fussing, just a little dazed.

Xiao Yuanmin's heart softened, and he couldn't help sighing. In fact, Xiao Qingrong was just a selfish victim of those concubines in the harem.
