The Thirteenth Princess asked again, with a somewhat aggressive tone, "Eighth Sister has always been filial and observant of etiquette, and she has already come to the banquet. It makes no sense for her to not come out to see her mother and concubine when she sees her coming. I just looked around.
I haven't found her yet, and I don't know where she went?"
Concubine Wen tightened her fingers and felt the veins on her forehead jump slightly.
She heard a bad undertone from the Thirteenth Princess's tone, as if she was deliberately implying something.
Concubine Shu asked doubtfully: "Isn't the Eighth Princess at the banquet? I seem to have seen her before."
The Thirteenth Princess immediately said: "The Eighth Sister came here before and toasted the mother-in-law, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye and she didn't know what she was doing..."
"Really?" Concubine Shu didn't pay much attention to the eighth princess. She didn't think much after hearing this and said casually, "Maybe it's just too stuffy in the palace. She went out to get some fresh air. If you want to see your eighth sister, send someone around.
Just look for it, Concubine Wen has just arrived, what's the use of asking her?"
Concubine Wen's eyelids jumped when she heard this.
The thirteenth princess suddenly laughed, as if this was what she was waiting for.
"Mother, I will send someone to look for you nearby..."
"No!"
A cold voice interrupted the eighth princess's words.
Concubine Wen swallowed back what she was about to say, and looked over with Concubine Shu and her daughter.
Xiao Lingyue walked out from behind the screen at the door with a very calm expression. Her eyes met Concubine Wen's for a second, and then she moved away to look at the Eighth Princess.
The eighth princess looked in disbelief: "You...!"
She seemed to want to say something, but she held it back and stared at Xiao Lingyue with wide eyes.
Xiao Lingyue glanced at it, pretended not to see it, stepped forward and saluted, "I ask your concubine and Concubine Wen to forgive me for speaking so rashly."
Concubine Shu frowned.
Concubine Wen smiled and said: "Isn't this the Lord of Anping County? I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing, Lord?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "As long as Concubine Lao Wen takes care of me, everything will be fine."
"That's good!" Concubine Wen smiled and felt relieved.
The Imperial Guard sent someone to deliver the Eighth Princess's hosta. They said it was sent by the Lord of Anping County, but the words they brought were unclear.
Concubine Wen believed that she had never offended Xiao Lingyue, and she also intended to be on good terms with her and showed kindness to her.
Between emotion and reason, Xiao Lingyue had no reason to harm her.
Therefore, Concubine Wen's first reaction was that something had happened to the Eighth Princess, and she might have been discovered by the Anping County Lord. In order to repay the favor, she rescued the Eighth Princess and specially arranged for someone to deliver a letter to Wenxiu Palace.
Although this is just a guess, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.
Therefore, Concubine Wen immediately arranged for her confidant maids to rush to the back gate of Ganquan Palace with a hosta. At the same time, she drove the car herself and rushed over in the name of congratulating Concubine Shu on her birthday, wanting to know what happened.
When they arrived at the water pavilion banquet, Concubine Wen searched around for several times, but she could not find her daughter.
She became more and more certain that something must have happened to her daughter.
Her heart was as anxious as a fire, but she didn't dare to show any clues, because Concubine Wen didn't know who had done it and what the Eighth Princess was in now, so she could only endure it forcefully.
Until Xiao Lingyue came out and said to her: "Everything is fine."
Concubine Wen immediately understood what she meant, and her heart suddenly dropped, feeling relieved.
