Xue Jinyi stepped forward slowly and stood in front of Yu'er, blocking her view, "Xue Fangyi, the second daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, has been selected as the crown princess, and the queen, the prince and the Duke of Weiguo are all carefully preparing for marriage. ”

Yu'er came back to her senses and sighed: "Arranged marriage, how can there be such a free love with true feelings, and the love is as deep as the sea?" ”

Xue Jinyi frowned.

"Ahaha......" Yu'er suddenly laughed and waved her hand, "I noticed that the woman following the prince looked a little strange. ”

"I know." Xue Jinyi nodded, "It's time for us to go." ”

Yu'er stretched out her hand, "Miss Xue, I'll help you." ”

Xue Jinyi smiled gently: "It's okay, I can go by myself." She took the lead in the dark passage, and did not ask Qinglan to help them, and walked down the steps steadily.

Yu'er looked at Xue Jinyi's face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, she is the eldest lady from a noble family, and she has the trust of the eldest princess and the king of Chu, look at the good things rewarded by the eldest princess these days like flowing water into the guest house, and although the king of Chu is cold, it can be seen that he dotes on Miss Xue alone between words and deeds.

Why is this, isn't Miss Xue capable of it?

She is a person who has traveled from modern times and has no relatives and no reason, she is lucky enough to be able to hug Miss Xue's thigh, so don't think too much about things that can't belong to her.

In case Miss Xue sees something, the gains outweigh the losses.

Qinglan also went down with Miss Xue, and Yu'er saw it and hurriedly followed.

The last guard neatly closed the door of the secret passage, put the bamboo cabinet back in its place, and then slipped away quietly while there was a commotion outside.

At the beginning of noon, the news that "the prince was a benefactor of Pan Niangzi, and he was very affectionate" spread from Pingkangfang, after all, when it comes to His Royal Highness the current prince, people only dare to talk about it behind their backs. But people are curious, and the more mysterious things are, the faster they will spread.

At this time, Xue Jinyi, who was still staying in Shao Wulang's house, was leaning on the recliner under the porch, eating melons and fruits while looking at the chic scenery in the courtyard.

The guard whispered, "...... The prince was taken directly back to the East Palace, and the carriages and horses of the East Palace on Suzaku Street also hurried back. The ox cart driver who was caught by them couldn't find the eldest princess here. ”

"Oh?" Xue Jinyi was a little curious, "Everything will leave clues, just look at whether the people who check are careful enough." ”

The guard said: "In this huge capital, there is more than one person who wants to trouble His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as he provokes a little, he is willing to take the bait and be a pawn." ”

"I see." Xue Jinyi understood that the Puyang clan finally got the throne, and there were always so many heirs who coveted the throne and wanted to pull the prince off the horse.

Moreover, when there were such rumors, the queen and the crown prince had to have a headache to calm down the rumors, so that the emperor would not know too much.

"By the way, since you already know Xiao Pan's appearance, go check her out." She commanded softly again, thinking back to Xiao Pan's expression, "Perhaps, there will be an accident." ”

The guard answered "understood" and went out.

When she went out to appease the refugees, she also had to bring Xiao Pan, which shows that the prince has a close relationship with her, and her intuition tells her that Pan Niangzi's death is inseparable from her sister, if the prince learns the truth and suffers a double blow, what will be his reaction?

Xue Jinyi picked up a bayberry and waited to listen to the show.

After the prince was sent back to the East Palace, his expression was sad, and he stared at the plum blossom pattern on the vase, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

After Ah Li instructed the other palace maids to dye the soothing incense, they waited carefully by his side, not daring to relax for a moment to observe his face.

It wasn't until someone reported that "the queen mother is here" that she hurriedly stepped aside and stood with her head bowed very well.

As soon as Empress Cai entered the house, she saw her always proud son's expression, instantly recalled the past, stepped forward quickly, and slapped the prince in the face directly.

The prince was knocked to the side by this slap, covering his hot and painful cheeks in a daze, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

And Empress Cai has already scolded, "...... Last time, I lied that you were sick and stubbornly concealed the matter, but you are good, as the prince of a country, you are actually fascinated by a prostitute, do you want to come again? Do you think you can be as lucky as last time, not to be caught by someone with a heart, not to be known by your father? ”

"......" The prince lay on the couch in embarrassment, and Queen Cai didn't listen to a word of her words, and muttered: "Amo......"

Empress Cai heard it clearly, her breath was stagnant, and she wanted to slap it again, but when she saw the clear "Five Finger Mountain" on her pale cheeks, she relented for a while and restrained herself.

"What are you all doing stupidly? Hurriedly called the imperial doctor over, saying that the prince had a sudden illness on the way. She commanded sharply, "Hurry up and close the gate of the East Palace, and two more people will go and invite Uncle Guo to come over." ”

The palace was suddenly busy, and everyone went to do their own things, for fear that if they delayed the blink of an eye, they would be punished by Queen Cai.

Empress Cai beckoned the chamberlain, stepped forward and took off the prince's robe, shoes and hats together, the pale face pretended to be sick, and they covered the prince with a thin quilt and hung down the bed tent.

After the disguise was done, Queen Cai found Ah Li, who pretended not to exist, and her face suddenly turned dark.

The female officer beside her scolded: "It's all a good thing done by your sisters!" What did he do in front of the prince, was he willing to kill him? Come on, press down this and look at it, and when some things are arranged, you will deal with it. ”

Immediately, two palace maids stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right.

Ah Li knew that her life was in danger, and shouted in a hurry: "Prince, save Ah Li!" ”

The prince woke up suddenly, saw this scene, and hurriedly shouted: "I have lost Ah Mo, how can my mother bear to let her son lose Ah Li again?" ”

Empress Cai sneered, "If you are obedient and obedient, this cheap maid will naturally be safe, but if you dare to make any mistakes in words and deeds, just wait to collect a charred corpse!" ”

The prince was startled, his mouth trembled, he didn't dare to speak, and watched his mother take someone away from Ah Li.

Before Empress Cai came out of the East Palace, a palace maid hurriedly came, "Empress, Fan Zhaoyi asks to see you." ”

Empress Cai's eyes flashed with murderous aura, "She came quickly." ”

The female official said softly: "Back then, if it weren't for your compassion, how could she Fan Zhaoyi have the blessing to give birth to the four princes, and jump from a mere beauty to the head of the nine concubines?" Unexpectedly, not only did he not know how to repay his kindness, but now he has a mind that he shouldn't have. ”

Empress Cai said in an evil voice: "It's me who has been kind for too long, and I dare to calculate on the prince's head, so that they have no son by themselves!" ”
