Even after leaving Guiyun Pavilion, Murong Xi was still thinking about Feng Mingye's words.
She did not tell Feng Mingye that she was the owner of Anxiang Pavilion because it was not necessary. She had made it very clear that the affairs of the Prime Minister's wife were left to her. She believed that Feng Mingye would never let her subordinates get involved in this matter.
.
After Murong Xi stopped by the medical clinic, she returned to the palace. She planned to go to the Queen Mother's Palace soon to find a way to take Qiluoxiang away.
I had just returned to Ningxi Palace and had not yet settled down when I heard Rushi hurried in and said, "Miss, the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, Ye Wuyou, has just arrived."
"Where?" Murong Xi asked.
"She is waiting in the front hall. She has been here for an hour. I heard that you have no intention of leaving even if you are not here." Rushi said helplessly.
"Well, let's change some clothes and go see her." Murong Xi turned around and entered the house. After Mo'er changed into white clothes for her, she went to the front hall to see Ye Wuyou.
When Murong Xi entered, she saw the impatience on Ye Wuyou's face. She smiled, knowing in her heart that Ye Wuyou would come to her only because of Ye Tianmo's orders. Otherwise, even beating her to death would not be possible.
Appeared in Ningxi Hall.
"Princess Jingruo." Ye Wuyou stood up and greeted Murong Xi after seeing her.
"Princess, you are so polite. Are you still used to it in Linfeng Kingdom?" Murong Xi asked slowly. Murong Xi's tone was alienated, which made Ye Wuyou very embarrassed.
"Fortunately, the climate in Linfeng Kingdom is better than that in Nanzhao Kingdom. Nanzhao Kingdom is very hot in summer, but compared with Linfeng Kingdom, it is much cooler." Ye Wuyou changed his ignorance from yesterday and suppressed his gentleness.
said.
"That's okay. There are a lot of places to play in the capital. The princess can go to the East Street for a stroll during her stay in the capital." Don't go into the palace when you have nothing to do, especially don't come to see me. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here.
Dan. Murong Xi really wanted to blurt out the next words, but she still held back.
Ye Wuyou was a little angry. She didn't know how to get along with Princess Jingruo. She was talking about whether she was used to it in Linfeng Kingdom, and then asked her to go shopping. Why was it so difficult to communicate with her?
After all, Ye Wuyou still calmed down, reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Princess Jingruo, Wuyou first came to the capital, and she didn't know anything about the customs and customs of Linfeng Country. She didn't know where the busiest places were in the capital.
It would be great if Princess Jingruo could accompany Wuyou."
"Oh, to be honest with Princess Wuyou, Xi'er has only returned to the capital for a few months." Murong Xi had a signature smile on her face, which made Ye Wuyou really want to slap her.
Can she still not understand this? It means that she, a princess, doesn’t know the capital very well. You’d better let someone else accompany you to go shopping.
"Princess Jingruo is not familiar with the capital, why not go watch the fun with Wuyou?" Aren't you unwilling? I kept saying, let's see how you refuse. Ye Wuyou also asked with a smile.
Murong Xi knew that Ye Wuyou was competing with her.
But why should she accompany Ye Wuyou to watch the fun? She had no obligation. At this time, Rushi brought up a plate of pastries, and Murong Xi's face bloomed with a smile.
"Princess Wuyou, this pastry is my favorite, please try it."
Ye Wuyou frowned, why is this Princess Jingruo so ignorant? She invited her out of the palace several times, but she actually treated her like this, and now she even pretends not to hear.
"Princess Wuyou?" Murong Xi asked casually when she saw that Ye Wuyou was silent.
"Princess Jingruo, just
I just used some pastries at Concubine Shu's place, and now I'm not too hungry to eat them." Ye Wuyou's eyes were a little impatient. After all, she was a woman without any scheming, and she could be offended by just a few words.
Stay angry.
Murong Xi clearly sensed her impatience, so she just ate the pastries and ignored Ye Wuyou.
Ye Wuyou didn't have anything to say to Murong Xi, but he didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed when he came to visit her for the first time.
Ye Wuyou thought it was because of the rude remarks made at yesterday's palace banquet that Murong Xi behaved like this. Don't you know that even without yesterday's incident, Murong Xi would not want to say anything more to her.
After doing it for a while, Ye Wuyou couldn't sit still anymore. The main reason was that Murong Xi didn't say anything and was just eating by himself. And she didn't know what to say to Murong Xi. What was she asking?
, Murong Xi just hummed. She really didn’t know how to communicate with Murong Xi.
Ye Wuyou stood up and said, "Princess Jingruo, the emperor is still waiting for Wuyou in the other courtyard, so he will go back now."
Murong Xi then raised his head, nodded, and said "Yeah." He didn't even say a word of greeting. Ye Wuyou felt very angry, threw away his sleeves and left the maid behind and quickly replied
Arrive at the other courtyard.
Murong Xi looked at Ye Wuyou's back with a smile, wondering how angry she would be when she went back.
"Miss, I heard that when she went to see Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu was very kind to her. When she came to our place, we made her wait for an hour without saying anything, and the lady didn't pay much attention to her. It would be strange if she wasn't angry!"
Shi said slowly.
"Who said I ignored her? I just wanted her to leave early. I didn't expect that she was quite tolerant." Murong Xi shrugged and said with grievance.
"What did she say to Concubine Shu?" Murong Xi asked next.
"There's nothing special to say, just some compliments to Concubine Shu and some gifts from Nanzhao Kingdom," Ru Shi said.
"Well, you come with me to Xiangfu Palace." Murong Xi made up his mind to go to the Queen Mother and bring Qiluoxiang back.
"Miss, do you want Qiluoxiang?" Rushi blurted out, she knew very well what their lady wanted.
"Well, let's go. We'll talk when we get back." Murong Xi took Ru Shi through the Imperial Garden and heard a burst of crying. Murong Xi didn't find anyone, so he entered the flower garden and saw Concubine Zhen sitting there crying.
Why is she crying when she is fine? Still sitting in the flower garden crying?
"Empress Zhen?" Murong Xi called softly. Everyone was in front of her, how could she not ask?
"Ah, Princess Jingruo." Concubine Zhen was already thin, her eyes were red from crying, and her body was shaking.
"Why is Concubine Zhen here? Why are you crying so sadly?" Murong Xi asked worriedly.
"Princess, it's better not to ask. Just pretend that you have never met me." Concubine Zhen looked panicked, lowering her head and not daring to look at Murong Xi.
Murong Xi saw that the flower bed seemed to have been touched by someone. Because all the flowers were in bloom now, everyone's attention was on the flowers and no one paid attention to the soil inside.
"You think Xi'er doesn't know if your Majesty doesn't say anything? After your Majesty leaves, Xi'er will have someone dig up the soil and check it out." Murong Xi looked at the soil and then at Concubine Zhen and said.
"I'm afraid of scaring the princess. What's buried here is my favorite cat. Because it loved this flower garden the most, I buried it here." Concubine Zhen said with tears.
.
"So that's it. I didn't know that Concubine Zhen had this cat.
How long has it been? Xi'er also likes small animals, so she naturally knows that they will develop feelings after being raised for a long time. So, Concubine Zhen, please don't be sad anymore," Murong Xi advised.
"Your Highness, in fact, I have only had this cat for less than a year. Naturally, it did not die in a normal way. It was poisoned to death. The reason why I did not let the princess see the cat's body is because it was poisoned to death.
, and peeled off its skin. Then, he sent it to the palace's bedroom. Wuwuwu..." When Concubine Zhen said this, she remembered the previous scene, and was scared and sad. So she burst into tears.
I couldn't help but flow down.
Rushi shuddered, who would actually do such a cruel thing to a small animal? Concubine Zhen was not a favored concubine, so why would someone treat her like this, not even sparing a kitten?
"Such a thing actually happened? Why didn't Concubine Zhen tell the emperor? Let the emperor send someone to investigate the matter?" Murong Xi looked at Concubine Zhen in confusion.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has just returned to the palace not long ago, so naturally she doesn't know anything about me. I was elected to the palace ten years ago. The emperor came to my bedroom once. After meeting me, he said something seemingly vague.
Otherwise, I have never been to my dormitory again since then.
I think that because of my father's face, the emperor finally kept me and did not depose me as a concubine. I just left her to fend for myself in this palace.
However, the palace did not neglect me because of this. The emperor also asked me to attend many banquets, which gave me enough face.
I felt it was very strange, so after some inquiring, I found out that there is a slight resemblance between my eyebrows and the former Queen's. No wonder the emperor never came to my bedroom again after saying this."
Concubine Zhen said with a wry smile.
Murong Xi didn't pay attention at first. After listening to Concubine Zhen's words, she looked at Concubine Zhen up and down. It turned out that Concubine Zhen's eyebrows were indeed somewhat similar to those of her mother. However, Concubine Zhen was now a little thinner. So, she
Didn't notice these.
No wonder the father is interested in Luo Qin'er. Not only does Luo Qin'er look similar, but her temperament is also similar to that of her mother. Compared to the Concubine Zhen in front of her, she is more like a genuine one, while Concubine Zhen is more like a fake.
"Empress, don't be too sad. Leave this matter to Xi'er. You are so prone to falling ill in the imperial garden, why don't you have a palace maid to serve you?" Murong Xi said slowly.
"Well, I will go back now. Thank you Princess Jingruo." Concubine Zhen was about to stand up with a sad face. Murong Xi gave her a hand, but she clearly felt that Concubine Zhen had been poisoned.
She asked casually: "Mother Zhen, are you feeling a little unwell?"
Concubine Zhen didn't suspect anything, she just thought of her usual situation, and then said: "It's nothing, I don't have much appetite on weekdays. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so weak."
"Xi'er has something to do and goes to Xiangfu Palace. When I am free another day, I will go see Concubine Zhen." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Okay." Concubine Zhen smiled and then left the imperial garden.
Murong Xi frowned and asked poetically: "Miss, what's wrong with Concubine Zhen?"
Murong Xi nodded, and then whispered in Rushi's ear: "Concubine Zhen has been poisoned by a slow-acting poison. This poison has lasted for many years. It seems that it does not want Concubine Zhen's life, but wants her to die."
You must always be so weak."
Ru Shi also looked at Murong Xi doubtfully, but knew that this was not the time to talk about this matter.
