Jian Xiao put on the human skin mask little by little in front of the bronze mirror, then put on a black cloak, turned around and let Yueyue see, "How do you think? Does it look like it?"
Yueyue looked at her and nodded, "But what are you doing like this?"
"Nothing!" Jian Xiao took off the mask, "Have you told General Wei Zhu about that matter?"
"As I said, General Wei said to do his best."
Jian Xiao began a long wait again. Yueyue would pass by Kunning Palace intentionally or unintentionally every night, and then see if there were any bottles hanging up. Minlan also grew up day by day. Jian Xiao and Wanyun looked at the child every day.
Between her eyebrows, Min Lan looks more and more like Tuo Jinglie. She is very curious about everything, and she is still a little naughty at heart. Looking at her, Jian Xiao's silent heart can relax a little. For safety, Min Lan is at Wanyun's place during the day,
It was only delivered to Jian Xiao at night. Jian Xiao squeezed some milk every day and stored it with Wanyun. She hoped that her child could grow up eating the milk made from her own blood.
Zhang Qin is still busy between his children and government affairs. He visits Xiaoxiang Pavilion every three days. Compared to his two sons, Zhang Qin seems to love Minlan more. What is strange is that Minlan cries every time.
When she was young, she would always burst into laughter after seeing Zhang Qin. This made Jian Xiao sometimes wonder whether this daughter was really Tuo Jinglie's daughter, or whether she was her own daughter Bingxue who was smart and well aware of her mother's plight.
, so I also learned to please him
The cold winter seemed to be coming to an end, and the nights were gradually getting shorter. That night, Jian Xiao had just coaxed Min Lan to sleep when she saw Yueyue running over in a hurry, "Empress! Look!" She took it out from her arms.
A plum vase. That plum vase is exactly the green plum vase I saw in the Queen's Palace.
"Just got it?" Jian Xiao asked excitedly
"The Queen hung it up herself, and I took it down right after she came down," Yueyue said, "What should I do now?"
"I'm going to Kunning Palace"
"I'm with you"
"No, if you stay in Xiaoxiang Building, if someone comes, you can still help me deal with it."
Jian Xiao put on a mask and a black cloak, looked at the bronze mirror again, made sure there was nothing wrong, and walked towards Kunning Palace in the night
Standing in front of the Kunning Palace door, Jian Xiao glanced at the plum vase in her arms, thinking about what she saw and heard in the Laurel Palace last time, took a deep breath, opened the palace door and walked in
The queen was standing alone in the yard. When she saw her coming in, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "The messenger is here."
"What's the matter?" Jian Xiao lowered her voice and tried to speak as few words as possible so that she would not be exposed.
"I should have thanked you a long time ago, but I think I should be careful, so I will wait until all the turmoil these days has passed before I come to thank you." The queen said and bowed politely.
Jian Xiao was indifferent, those envoys were all arrogant
"I wonder if Shang Feng has come up with any countermeasures to deal with Concubine Gong Xian?" the queen then asked.
"What's your opinion?" Jian Xiao said as she put down the plum vase.
"I didn't expect that she would dare to put the little walnut wood man in my room to blame me. Fortunately, the emperor allowed all the palaces to be filled with little men overnight. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to wash myself off even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
"It's clear," the queen said, "I'm not like her. Min Hua is his biological son, but Min Tong has followed me since he was a child. Moreover, his mother and concubine are also dead. I must keep his position for him. Only he can keep it."
Only then can I have a status in this harem. People like Concubine Gong Xian and Concubine Jian are too scary."
Jian Xiao didn't expect that the queen would actually put herself on the threat list. This seal was quite smart. It invested weight in the two most advantageous heirs to the throne. No matter who took the throne, it would be good for herself. This was simply
It's really clever that he can keep these two stupid women in his hands by virtue of his position as the prince without losing money.
"The time has not come yet, Queen, don't worry too much, Shangfeng has his own plan," Jian Xiao said calmly
"Thank you very much for your trouble." The queen took out a pure gold toad and said, "I also ask the envoy to send you more kind words."
Jian Xiao took it and put it in her sleeve, "If nothing happens, I'll leave!"
"Messenger, please also tell me that I am doing the things he asked me to do, and I will see miraculous effects soon," the queen said.
What is going on? Jian Xiao hasn't noticed any movement in the palace. Could it be that she has been negligent? Jian Xiao really wants to ask more about what is going on, but when she thinks about it, as long as she speaks, everything will be exposed.
"Okay, I'll tell you!" She resisted her curiosity and didn't ask.
Walking out of Kunning Palace, Jian Xiao suddenly felt that Biga's harem would soon be involved in a huge storm, and she was getting closer and closer to the storm. It turned out that she only wanted to seal off Tuo Jing.
Now it seems that he has a more terrifying goal. Although he has fought with this person several times, he doesn't even know whether the seal is a boy or a girl.
I only know that I am about to face the storm, but I am unable to resist it and can only wait for it to come.
Jian Xiao took off her cloak. This outfit was too attractive even at night. Just when she was about to tear off her mask, she suddenly felt someone hit her on the back of the head, and then she lost consciousness.
When Jian Xiao woke up again, she seemed to be in a cave, sensing the smell around her. It felt very damp.
"Is there anyone there?" Jian Xiao shouted
A torch came over. Before Jian Xiao could see the person's face clearly, her neck was pinched and she couldn't breathe smoothly.
"Tell me! Who is your seal?" a voice sounded.
Jian Xiao saw clearly who was coming. It was actually Wei Zhu. Jian Xiao wanted to speak, but she was being pinched and couldn't say anything clearly. The more Jian Xiao struggled, the more she felt she couldn't breathe.
Wei Zhu seemed to find something wrong. He suddenly let go, touched Jian Xiao's chin, and lifted it hard. The mask fell off, revealing Jian Xiao's appearance.
"You..." Wei Zhu was surprised, "Are you from Shangfeng?"
Jian Xiao couldn't stop coughing and just shook his head. After a long pause, Jian Xiao said, "I'm pretending. You and I both want to find out Shang Feng's identity."
"Why should I trust you?" Wei Zhu said coldly.
"If you don't believe it, everything I say is in vain. The person I love most died because of his thousands of arrows. If I don't avenge this revenge, I can't rest at ease." Jian Xiao felt that she had been fighting alone, but now she found an ally.
No need to hide
"That's why you sneaked in here? Pretending to be her emissary?" Wei Zhu asked, squinting his eyes.
Jian Xiao nodded, "Why are you looking for him? As far as I know, many people in the court are his talons."
"He took possession of my wife and daughter," Wei Zhu said simply.
"Is the seal a male?" Jian Xiao asked
Wei Zhu nodded "Yes!"
Jian Xiao was a little surprised. She was very sure about Shang Feng's gender at first, but after she came to the harem, she found that Shang Feng didn't look like a man. For example, there were many female messengers, their voices, and their body shapes.
"What news have you heard?" Wei Zhu asked when he saw Jian Xiao didn't respond.
"The queen seems to be plotting something, but I didn't ask," Jian Xiao said. "General Wei, since you and I are on the same front, please pay more attention to Minlan and Wanyun. They are my only family members now.
I will tell you anything, and please tell me what you know."
