Gan Nan raised his hand lightly to stop Gan Bei who had just entered, and listened quietly to Sima Yixuan continue. "Now let the people in the palace carefully check who appears near Cong Xuewei on weekdays, no matter who it is,
I have to report this to the king. If someone is really involved, this person must be a very powerful person in the city. Moreover, he is definitely Sima Rong’s strongest competitor. In other words, this person is determined to inherit the throne.
people."
"Yes." Gan Nan and Gan Bei replied at the same time. They looked at each other and Gan Nan said softly, "Miss Cong is still staying with the Supreme Emperor. Do you want to take her back?"
Sima Yixuan shook his head gently and said: "My father is a very stubborn person. If I insist on bringing Yi'er back at this time, my father will have no choice but to stop me. However, this will make Yi'er very unhappy."
It is difficult to gain a foothold in the palace. That is what Yi'er has always been curious about. Her stay there is definitely no less than staying in Prince Xuan's Mansion. There is no need to bring her back for the time being, just let her stay with her father for a few days, maybe
, she will untie the knot that has always been unsolvable in my father’s heart.”
Cong Xuewei was lying on the bed, feeling very tired. What happened during this time? Why do I always feel like this? The personal slave came over and said softly: "Mother, do you want to get up at this time? There is a lot of fog outside.
Can't see anything."
Cong Xuewei looked at her slave, sighed, and said: "Even if I want to get up, I'm still unable to do so at this time. Manlian, has something happened? Your expression is not concealed well enough."
Listen to this palace. The emperor didn't come last night. Did he go somewhere else? Which concubine did he favor last night?"
Manlian hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The emperor didn't come last night, but people around the emperor said that the emperor favored not one of the concubines in the palace last night, but Prince Xuan's woman, Zuihualou.
Dierun. This morning, the emperor sent her to Nuanyu Pavilion. Nuanyu Pavilion is being cleaned these days. You were supposed to move there in a few days, but the weather will get cold in a few days. Your Majesty, you will always be there.
The house is not cold-resistant, but that bitch Dierun moved in in advance and lived next to the house where you usually live. I really don’t know what Prince Xuan was thinking, how could he come up with such a move, and so did the Emperor.
, he also wants the women that others treat as cripples!"
"Manlian!" Cong Xuewei said sternly, "Be careful what you say, don't risk your life without knowing what's going on! Go and invite the second princess over, I'm talking about Xiai, not Yahui! Please invite her over quickly.
, just say that I have something urgent to do and want to see her."
Manlian knew she was careless in what she said, so she didn't dare to say any more and immediately left.
Cong Xiai followed Manlian to Zhengyang Palace. Sima Rong had been with Su Yahui. She could come out easily without spending time with Sima Rong. When she entered Zhengyang Palace, she saw herself at a glance
My aunt was half lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, and she looked very tired, as if she was very tired. She didn't see the emperor, so she must have gone to the morning court.
"Xiai has met the Queen." Cong Xiai knelt down and saluted.
"Come on, get up quickly. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so formal. Manlian, go outside and watch. Don't allow anyone to disturb our conversation. If anyone comes over, you should loudly announce to me outside.
I know." Cong Xuewei ordered softly. After saying these words, she actually felt a little exhausted. What on earth had happened to her? Even if she married the emperor and stopped practicing martial arts, her body would not be this bad?!
After Man Lian left, Cong Xuewei discovered that Cong Xiai was also surprisingly thin, and her original exquisite facial features no longer seemed real. Although they were still beautiful, the look of them shocked the viewer. "Xiai,
You, how did you end up like this?"
Cong Xiai gave a bitter smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's Xiai who doesn't want to eat these days. Maybe she's not used to the food in this palace. There's no need to worry, Your Majesty."
"How is the second prince treating you?" Cong Xuewei asked softly.
Cong Xiai smiled bitterly, what could she say, and gave another salute to Cong Xuewei, and said softly: "Now that Su Yahui is with me, there is no need for Xiai to accompany her, so Xiai doesn't know whether the second prince treats Xiai well or not.
.”
Cong Xuewei hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Are those statements true? You like Prince Xuan, not the second prince? The second prince really loves Yi'er and not you? Why is this a bit confusing? Although I know
Yi'er wants to become Princess Xuan, but she just feels that Prince Xuan's interest in her is only temporary, and she is afraid that it will fade away after a few days. Yi'er, that girl, has been willful since she was a child, so that's all she has. What do you think?
You are so ignorant, even if you really like Prince Xuan and marry the second prince, you should keep it a secret!"
Cong Xiai said nothing.
"Xiai, this is the palace, not the Cong Mansion." Cong Xuewei frowned slightly and said reproachfully, "If you want to survive, you must win the favor of the person you marry. If you don't have the protection of the second prince,
, it is impossible for you to survive. This is the most realistic thing in this palace. As long as you lose the favor of the master, any slave will dare to give you a look. Don't you, such a smart person, not know this? The second prince, he
You are the candidate for the future emperor. Now that you have married him, you have to make him unable to let you go. How could you marry Yahui smoothly? And I heard that the second prince seems to dote on her very much, and will let her go no matter what he does.
She is with you, how did you do this, how did you become like this?"
Cong Xiai sighed and said calmly: "Mother, Xiai has lost her heart now. I'm afraid the second prince has no other intention except to hate Xiai."
Cong Xuewei also sighed softly and said: "The most realistic and most unbelievable thing in this palace is the so-called love. Do you know what happened last night? Last night, the emperor favored Dierun, the woman next to Prince Xuan.
, now that woman lives in Nuanyu Pavilion, no matter what her background is, as long as she is favored, she can be superior to others in the palace. No matter how reluctant I am, I have to call her sister when the time comes. This is the palace.
The reality here is that even if you loved Prince Xuan before, now that Prince Xuan wants to marry Yi'er, and you have already married the second prince, you must learn to lower your profile, gain the favor of the second prince, and live in this palace.
Be good!"
Cong Xiai smiled bitterly and said, "Xi Ai always makes mistakes every time he makes a mistake. Now that the second prince sees that Xi Ai is full without eating, how can it be possible for him to stand up again? Let's forget it."
Cong Xuewei wanted to speak, but she felt a little out of breath, so she had to stop and rest for a long time. She closed her eyes slightly and her breathing gradually became uneven.
Cong Xiai frowned. Cong Xuewei's situation seemed a bit strange. She looked around subconsciously, trying to find someone to help or pour a glass of water for Cong Xuewei to drink. Suddenly she saw a pot of flowers on the table, which seemed to be new.
When she picked it, there were still water droplets on it. She was stunned for a moment. She had stayed in Wumeng Country, and she also knew how to use medicine. Her mother had taught her since she was a child, but she was still poisoned by Princess Rui, and she fell into a kind of chaos.
In this situation, she will never forget the beautiful flowers in her life. They are blooming, delicate and attractive, but they are terrifying.
Why did this flower appear here? Who put it here? This kind of flower is only owned by Wumeng State, and no one grows it in Daxing.
"Empress, who sent this flower?" Cong Xiai suddenly felt chills in her heart. If this flower was sent unintentionally, or Cong Xuewei picked it by herself, it would be fine. However, if it was sent by someone,
It must be intentional. If only Cong Xuewei has this situation and the emperor does not, then it must be Cong Xuewei and not the emperor who is targeted! Who hates Cong Xuewei so much?!
Cong Xuewei gasped slightly and said: "What flower? - Oh, is it the one on the table? Manlian picked it from the yard. You also know that I like to put flowers on the table. There are some flowers and plants in the yard.
, I often ask her to pick them up and put them there."
"Are these flowers also found in the courtyard?" Cong Xiai's hands trembled slightly as she picked out the flower from the bouquet. It was not a big flower, but it bloomed very delicately and attractively, with a light pink color and a tinge of color.
