The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, and the trees and flowers are all smiling. Catkins are flying everywhere in the imperial garden, as if it’s snowing. Many people don’t like catkins because they feel they always get into people’s noses and mouths, but Jian Xiao likes them very much.
, I feel that the catkins on my body are like a gift from God, so I don’t mind at all.
When Jian Xiao ran and jumped all the way to Kunyuan Palace, she found that the hall was deserted and the queen was sitting alone on the cave, secretly feeling sad.
"The Queen..." Jian Xiao shouted
"Oh, Jian Jieyu is here, you are a step late. They were all here just now, and now they are all going to Runyu Pavilion," the queen said sadly.
Jian Xiao frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Mintong... was carried back by Concubine De!"
"How could this happen?" Jian Xiao was puzzled.
"Your Majesty came to take him away in person. He said that it would be better for the child to stay with his mother. He also said that Concubine De was in good health. I have a lot of things to do here, so I took my Mintong..." When the name of the child was mentioned, the Queen choked up.
Concubine Yue De still has some tricks. She also knows that without the prince, she is just an empty shell. The prince is such a good bargaining chip that he cannot fall on others. Moreover, Zhang Qin has a soft ear. She can persuade him
, others can naturally do the same. "Queen, don't be too upset, it's yours, you can't run away," Jian Xiao said.
"You are the only one who comes to comfort me." The queen touched Jian Xiao's hand
Jian Xiao secretly figured out that she must make this move right, otherwise she would be in trouble in the future. She had to think about how to get Mintong back to the queen.
Jian Xiao took a piece of paper and looked at it carefully. The time and daily schedule were densely written on it. This was all the result of Jiaojiao's past two days. She monitored Runyu Pavilion and found out all of Concubine Yue De's daily routine.
Concubine Yue De has a fixed rest time every day. As long as she rests, Mintong will be taken away. However, there is only one time in the whole day when she is with the child, and this time is when Zhang Qin goes to see Mintong.
After Zhang Qin retired from the court, she would visit Mintong. This was the best time for Concubine Yue De to act like a good mother, so whether she was awake or asleep, the wet nurse would put Mintong on her bed in order to create a loving motherly appearance.
Concubine Yue De did not allow other maids to help her at this time, even wet nurse and Shuangxi were no exception.
As for what Jian Xiao is going to do, this is the only time
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to do this tomorrow!" Jian Xiao told her
Jiaojiao frowned, "Won't it hurt the child?"
"No!" Jian Xiao said with certainty, "As long as you time it well, everything will be fine. Just to be safe, give her some incense! I will go there with the emperor on the road tomorrow and give you a cover by the way."
"That's good! Just listen to your Majesty!"
The next day Jian Xiao was waiting on the way to Runyu Pavilion early, and Wanyun was sitting on the roadside chatting. Suddenly Wanyun pushed Jian Xiao, and Jian Xiao knew that Zhang Qin was coming.
She stood up and strolled towards Runyu Pavilion
"Jian Xiao!" Zhang Qin shouted. Jian Xiao quickly stopped and turned around, "Your Majesty! You have just left the court."
Zhang Qin nodded, "Yes, let's see Mintong! Where are you going?"
"I also said that I would go and see the Imperial Concubine and the prince." Jian Xiao took out a sachet from her sleeve, "The weather is hot now and there are too many mosquitoes. I made a sachet with medicinal herbs and put it next to the prince to repel mosquitoes.
The prince was bitten”
Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao and smiled tenderly. He put his arm around Jian Xiao's shoulders and said, "It's up to you to take care of it. Let's go together!"
Jian Xiao said something to Wan Yun, and Wan Yun immediately took a detour and went to Runyu Pavilion first.
A group of people walked into Runyu Pavilion. The maids and eunuchs just knelt down and saluted because they were afraid of disturbing Concubine De's rest. Zhang Qin took Jian Xiao into the back hall of Runyu Pavilion. There was no one inside, except for the sound of Concubine De's snoring.
Zhang Qin smiled and said, "Look how tired she is!"
Jian Xiao didn't say anything. The two of them walked to the bed. Jian Xiao frowned and whispered, "Where's Min Tong?"
Zhang Qin was also surprised. Mintong would usually lie on Concubine Yue De's side?
Zhang Qin suddenly saw a golden swaddling cloth under Concubine Yue De. He frowned and hurriedly pushed her. Unexpectedly, Concubine De was sleeping like crazy because she asked about Mi Xiang. No matter how hard she pushed, there was no response. She didn't know where it was.
After squeezing it, the child couldn't see it, and De Fei still didn't move.
Jian Xiao climbed onto the bed in desperation, and then she saw Mintong being pinned down by Concubine Yue De. Jian Xiao fiercely took the child out from under her and gave it to Zhang Qin. The child's face was livid at this time, and the child was
Mouth slightly open, lips purple
Zhang Qin was so frightened that his arms trembled, "This... this is..." He was a little incoherent.
Jian Xiao was in a hurry and pinched the child. After a while, Mintong coughed, his face improved, and he began to cry loudly. This was when Jian Xiao and Zhang Qin breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, De Fei
He opened his eyes slightly, turned around, and then fell asleep.
Zhang Qin was so angry at the scene before him that he handed the child to Jian Xiao and shouted, "Come here!"
Min Tong cried even louder. People outside heard the commotion and ran inside one after another. Wanyun and Jiaojiao followed and ran in.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone saw Zhang Qin's sallow face, the corners of his mouth and eyes were tightly pursed, bent into a terrifying arc, and veins burst out on his forehead. Everyone knelt down and lowered their heads.
Concubine De, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up. She sat up in a daze, looked at the people in the room and said, "Huh? What's wrong, there are so many people here!"
Zhang Qin suddenly slapped Concubine Yue De, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Concubine De covered her face, but now they were all awake. She murmured, "Your Majesty!"
"Tianjiao, send Mintong to Kunyuan Palace! Keep it under the Queen's care! Do not send it back to Runyu Pavilion!" Zhang Qin shouted
Concubine De was puzzled by the changes in front of her, "This... Your Majesty, Mintong is my concubine's lifeblood, you can't..."
"Lifeblood?" Zhang Qin interrupted her, "You pressed Mintong under you, and the real child almost died at your hands! What kind of competent mother and concubine are you? You tried to resist it, but you only slept happily.
I don’t care whether the child lives or lives! I just happened to find out this time. If I hadn’t come, your life would be gone and your life would not be guaranteed!”
Concubine Yue De looked at the child in Jian Xiao's arms, her face had not yet calmed down, and then she realized what was going on. She immediately turned pale and cried, "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have made such a mistake. I miss my body."
I haven’t recovered yet, let me go! Don’t take Mintong away!”
"Hmph! Do you want a next time?" Zhang Qin said, "One time is enough! I think you are still a patient, take good care of yourself. I want to see Mintong and go to Kunyuan Palace."
Zhang Qin turned around and left. Jian Xiao followed him and looked back at the embarrassed Yue Zhaoyi. She couldn't bear to look at it anymore, fearing that she would finally soften her heart.
"Mintong..." Concubine Yue De's heart-rending roar rang out, and Jian Xiao returned to Xiaoxiang Tower with Wanyun and Jiaojiao.
