Chapter 41 The princess must be Xia Ningxi

The moon-white figure chuckled lightly, and said with a sigh of relief: "Master Xia doesn't need to explain to Gu, Gu is here today, but he is also negotiating some conditions with Lord Xia."

A chill suddenly rose all over his body, and Master Xiahou's whole heart rose to his throat.There is nothing more frightening than being caught by a country's crown prince negotiating terms with others.If there is anything more frightening, it is being bumped into by the emperor.

Seeing that Lord Xiahou was silent, the moon-white figure coughed lightly, calmed down, and said slowly: "The conditions for loneliness are very simple. Lord Xiahou just rest assured that the third lady will marry into the East Palace instead of the eldest lady. As for Lord Xiahou Naturally, the power in your hands cannot be used by anyone. If you let Gu know what Lord Xiahou has done to deceive the world and steal his name by using his power for personal gain, then Gu will hold the evidence of Lord Xiahou's crime of deceiving the emperor."

Master Xiahou suddenly felt that someone was pouring cold water all over his body, his lips were tight and he dared not make a sound.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is weak in body, in the name of virtuous virtue, he is not as weak as his body.This is why the emperor let him sit firmly in the East Palace with a weak body.

As for how long the Crown Prince's body can last, the emperor doesn't care.The crown prince's sick and weak body made those princes feel lucky and dare not rush to compete for the crown prince.

After a moment of silence, Master Xiahou frowned and asked, "I dare to ask His Royal Highness, why must it be the third daughter of Weichen?"

The moon-white figure laughed out loud, and his tone became more and more indifferent: "This is Gu's decision. Master Xia doesn't need to ask any more questions, as long as he does it according to Gu's wishes. Also, listen, no matter what the third lady did wrong , you must not send her to the government, otherwise, in order to protect her, you may do something."

Lord Xiahou was still worried, pinching his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat from his palms, and asked in a trembling voice, "His Royal Highness King Kecheng..."

"As long as Gu said that the person who made the marriage contract with Gu was the third lady, so what if the emperor told my father? The lonely princess and concubine, if you want to protect it, you will protect it. The lonely emperor, what qualifications do you have to say that the lonely prince Is the concubine a fake?" Raising his sleeve to interrupt Master Xia Hou, the crown prince frowned slightly, with a bit of undeniable sternness in his tone.

Lord Xiahou didn't dare to say any more, and cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I will follow His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangement, and His Highness King Cheng will never know about this matter."

"This uncle, Gu, is much deeper than Master Hou imagined. It's better for Master Xia not to deal with him too much. Otherwise, if something happens, Gu will not be able to protect your Xiahou Mansion."

The moon-white figure moved slightly, half of his face was shrouded in darkness, he couldn't see clearly: "Xiahou can go now, remember that you and I will meet today, don't reveal a word."

Master Xia Hou quickly stood up, arched his hands and exited the private room respectfully, followed by the person in blue-grey robes closing the door, he was relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.

The man in the blue-grey robe sent him downstairs, clasped his hands and said, "Master Hou, please remember what His Highness said, and I won't say more about the rest."

Master Xiahou was puzzled, looked at the person in the blue-gray robe, frowned and asked, "Grandpa Chi, do you know why His Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted to marry my third daughter?"

Eunuch Chi in the blue-gray robe chuckled, straightened his back, and shook his head with an unfathomable face: "I don't know, but please remember, Lord Marquis, His Highness has his own reasons for doing this. You better ask less."

Master Xia Hou was puzzled, nodded his lips and left.

At the end of spring and summer solstice, the fragrance of acacia flowers in the air is gone, and the air is still slightly cool. The lotus leaves in the lotus pond grow more and more vigorously, and the erect buds sway with the breeze, which is elegant and pleasant.

Yu Shengchi really kept his word, he would come to Xiahou Mansion every day to ask Xia Ningxi for tea.

Xia Ningxi adhered to the principle of absolutely not offending him for the time being, so she could only wrong You Huang to make a pot of tea every day, and wait for Yu Shengchi to come to the Hou's mansion to hang out.

Only when it was almost noon, after Yu Shengchi left, would Xia Ningxi have the opportunity to find out the truth behind her mother's death in depression.

After Yu Shengchi left, she ate lunch casually, and took a lunch break in the corridor with her legs crossed, shaking her round fan, and covered her face with the fan to block the glare of the sun.

After sleeping for a while, it seemed that someone was scratching her ears with something. She turned over impatiently, curled her lips and complained: "Don't make trouble."

Bai Luo squatted beside her, put the white sleeves that had fallen on the ground into her arms, and said with her chin in her hand, "Sister Xia, didn't you want me to help you pay attention to that mother Zhao next to Mrs. Zheng? It was just near the rockery , I heard her and another person mention Mrs. Sun back then, as if they were afraid of being heard, and then they stopped talking."

With a shock in her head, Xia Ningxi sat up in a "bass", frowned and looked at Bai Luo, and asked urgently, "What did they say?"

"They said that Mrs. Sun had an affair with others back then, and what it was related to Mrs. Zheng. When it comes to this, they dare not go on."

His eyes darkened suddenly, Xia Ningxi took a deep breath, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Take me there to have a look. At night, let's ask carefully according to the method last time, and we will definitely find out the truth."

Bai Luo quickly stood up, nodded solemnly and said, "Let's go now."

Nodding with a solemn expression, Xia Ningxi hurriedly turned Bai Luo back into her original body, one person and one rabbit quickly searched for the rockery that Bai Luo left just now.

The two people Bai Luo mentioned were all confidantes who followed Zheng's side. One was of course Mama Zhao, who had her head smashed by Xia Ningxi, and the other was the big maid Zhilan.

After Xia Ningxi looked over, she took a deep breath, quietly watched the two people talking and walking away, then turned around calmly, went back to the room very simply, and continued to rest.

During this sleep, she didn't even eat dinner, and slept until nightfall before waking up.Lazily got up and got ready, changed into the outfit that frightened Zheng Shi last time, then jumped out from the back window, drifting and flying to the courtyard where the next person lived.

In the dark night, she was dressed in white, with disheveled hair, appearing floating in the corridor.

Zhao's mother and Zhilan belong to the lower classes, they live in the same room, and they are both fast asleep.

When Xia Ningxi arrived at the door, she curled her lips into a cold smile, and waved her sleeves. A strong wind blew outside the door, and the door opened wide with a loud bang.

Due to her age, Mother Zhao didn't sleep very well. When she heard the sound, she frowned and opened her eyes. When she saw the door was open, she rubbed her eyes and got up to open the door.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Ningxi flashed her figure and stopped in front of her, glaring at her with gloomy face and angry eyes, her voice was cold and cold: "Do you still remember who I am?"

"Ah—a ghost!" Mother Zhao's face turned pale with fright, she stretched out her hand and slapped Xia Ningxi indiscriminately.

Xia Ningxi's eyes darkened, and she waved her sleeves again, casting an enchantment around the room, no matter how heartrendingly Mother Zhao yelled, no one in the other rooms could hear a single sound.
