The next day, Wei Zijin asked the housekeeper to prepare some good tonics and asked Qiaoxiang to take them, and they went into the palace to visit Princess Xiao Yurao of Yong'an.
Because Xiao Yurao had the status of a married princess, and because her mother was Concubine Lu, many royal family members, ministers and wives came to visit Princess Yongan Xiao Yurao.
It's just that Xiao Yurao didn't seem to have recovered from the shock last night, so the royal relatives and nobles who came to visit her were too embarrassed to stay for a long time. They only asked about Princess Yong'an's health with concern, then put down their supplements and left.
When Wei Zijin came to Princess Yong'an's palace with tonics, he happened to meet his eldest sister Wei Zixuan, who was also visiting. As soon as they stepped into the palace, they heard the eunuch of the princess's palace respectfully asking everyone to leave, because the princess was in a bad mood and did not want to see her.
Too many people!
"Eunuch, I have something to talk to the princess about. I wonder if the princess is free?" Wei Zijin came this time to ask Xiao Yurao about the assassin, so he didn't want to leave just now, so he asked pleasantly.
The eunuch glanced at Wei Zijin and Wei Zixuan. One was the Princess of Luoyang and the other was a first-class wife personally named by the emperor. He did not dare to neglect, and quickly raised his hands and said: "You two, please wait for a moment. I will go and ask the princess right now."
Your Highness!"
Wei Zijin and Wei Zixuan smiled and nodded, watching the eunuch go in. Wei Zixuan slowly said, "Zijin, what do you want to talk to the princess about?"
"The Emperor Long Yan was furious about the assassin last night. Jing Yao rushed into the palace overnight and discussed it with the ministers. We still can't find a clue, so I want to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess today..."
Wei Zijin did not intend to hide his purpose from his eldest sister Wei Zixuan. Wei Zixuan also heard about it last night, nodded and frowned and said: "Yunzhi also told me about this last night, and I have been a little confused in my heart!"
"So your Highness the Princess may be able to tell us some clues..." Wei Zijin smiled slightly and was about to say something else. The eunuch had already walked out and said respectfully to Wei Zijin and Wei Zixuan: "Princess, you are invited!"
When Wei Zijin and Wei Zixuan were led by the eunuch to Yong'an Palace, Xiao Yurao was lying on the soft couch and taking a nap. It was not until the eunuch whispered something in her ear that Xiao Yurao slowly opened her eyes and wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Wei Zixuan.
He quickly stopped it with a smile.
"The princess was frightened and her body has not recovered yet. There is no need to get up..."
Xiao Yurao quickly winked at the maid beside him and asked the maid to make tea, and everyone else also retreated.
"Actually, I wasn't frightened at all, I just couldn't figure it out..." Xiao Yurao shook his head and showed a helpless smile.
"Your Highness, Princess, are you talking about the assassin?" Wei Zijin took over Xiao Yurao's words and asked with concern.
Xiao Yurao nodded slightly and sighed: "Yes, this matter is strange. Last night, I and Gao Yang, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, enjoyed the lanterns together. Maybe we got too carried away. In addition, there were so many people, so the guards rushed to us.
They broke up, but then the assassin came..."
When Xiao Yurao said this, remembering the previous assassination, his face darkened slightly: "Fortunately, Gao Yang reacted quickly and protected me!"
"How many assassins did the princess and Ambassador Gao encounter last night?" Wei Zijin asked in a deep voice.
"There are only two..." Xiao Yurao carefully recalled the situation last night, her face becoming more solemn.
