Song Qinghuan deliberately put on airs and said that she would be the aunt of the two brothers and sisters in the future, and they were her nephews and nieces.
But calling Rouzhen "aunt" made her furious.
He flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Not far away, Ta Xue turned back and looked at Xiao Mu and Rouzhen Yifu, with lowered eyebrows, and then said: "My girl said that the prince's face is not looking good this time, so it is best to put some makeup on before entering."
Palace, lest anyone find out the clues."
After saying that, he knelt down again and turned around to leave before the two of them could speak.
The Song family's carriage left Bishui Villa, and Prince Yu's carriage followed shortly after.
Rouzhen rode with Xiao Mu and handed the three silver needles left by Song Qinghuan to Xiao Mu. She also repeated what Song Qinghuan had told her and pointed out the locations of the three acupuncture points.
Then he said again: "Brother, your Majesty, someone must have talked too much in front of the Queen Mother, and they suddenly want to summon you. You have to deal with it well when you enter the palace."
After a pause, he said worriedly: "I know that you are not in good health, and you have taken the tiger and wolf medicine. Although you can survive for a while, you should not force yourself to survive."
She told Song Qinghuan that it would be better to die if she lived like an ant, but in the end she was just saying that even if she wanted to live the life she wanted, it would still depend on whether she was alive or not.
Xiao Mu covered his lips and coughed lightly, nodded, and responded: "I know, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Rouzhen also explained to him the reasons why the Wang family had negotiated with Prince Yu's Mansion, including the gifts that Princess Yu prepared to give.
Xiao Mu listened carefully and remembered everything.
It wasn't until everything was explained that he looked at Rouzhen and asked, "How is Huizhu?"
I get angry when I mention Huizhu Rouzhen. Everyone trusts her so much, but she is able to do such a vicious thing.
She said: "I just locked her up, I haven't done anything to her yet."
Afraid that Xiao Mu would feel bad, he sighed and said, "If anything happens, wait until you feel better. She has been one of ours since she was a child. She will definitely not do this for no reason. Maybe she was ordered."
Xiao Mu responded quietly, lowering his eyes and remaining silent for a while.
It wasn't until the carriage approached the palace gate that he raised his head and said to Rouzhen with a deep look in his eyes: "Let someone examine it. If you can't find out..."
After a pause, he turned his gaze elsewhere and said without emotion: "Just for the sake of serving me for many years, just keep the body intact."
The carriage entered the palace and passed through the palace passage. Neither of the two people in the carriage made a sound.
Until she got off the carriage, Rouzhen still couldn't believe that Xiao Mu actually said such heartless words.
"Leave a whole body".
She thought that Huizhu would not be treated like this even if she betrayed him now that she had been with him for so many years.
Sure enough, the royal family is ruthless.
For a moment, I felt a cold sweat running down my back, and my whole body felt indescribably tired.
She dared not think about whether one day in the future, her royal brother and her mother would push her out so ruthlessly when interests were at stake.
OK.
Xiao Mu got off the carriage and was led by the palace servants to Cining Palace. Rouzhen went back to her palace first, without a trace.
The people in Cining Palace were filled with laughter. Before they even entered the palace, they could hear Empress Dowager Jiang chatting and laughing with her grandchildren.
Xiao Mu took a deep breath and stood still outside the palace. After a cup of tea, someone from the palace came to invite him into the palace.
The laughter that was heard just now has subsided now.
Queen Mother Jiang looked Xiao Mu up and down, her voice still calm.
"You came."
Xiao Mu entered the palace, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Wei's eyes, and then returned to normal. The other princes didn't have any serious expressions, but the fourth prince, Xiao Yang, looked at him intently, as if he wanted to make a skeleton out of him.
Xiao Mu ignored these glances and only took a few steps forward to salute and say hello. He kowtowed sincerely. There was a hint of violence in his eyebrows, but when he raised his head, it was no longer there.
"My grandson has been delayed for some time. Don't blame the imperial grandmother."
Queen Mother Jiang smiled and did not answer. Instead, Prince Xiao Yang, who was sitting beside him, laughed out loud.
"Brother, what you said makes no sense. The Imperial Grandmother sent someone to summon you early in the morning, but you delayed her until now."
"You are asking the Imperial Grandmother to forgive me. If the Imperial Grandmother does not forgive me, wouldn't it be her fault?"
A big hat was pulled down, and before Xiao Mu could stand up, he leaned down again and said in panic: "The emperor's grandmother clearly knows that my grandson has no such intention."
"It's my grandson's fault for procrastinating and keeping the imperial grandmother waiting."
He kowtowed several times in a row, his whole body seemed panicked, as if he was afraid of being blamed.
Queen Mother Jiang accepted his apology aloofly, and when she saw that it was almost done, she smiled softly.
"What are you talking about? The Aijia haven't seen you for many days, and now they want to see you. If you have something to do, you will be delayed. It's not a big deal."
After saying that, he asked the palace servants to help him up and sit him aside.
It is obviously a scene of loving and filial piety to grandparents and grandchildren.
Several princes and princes were silent, and Xiao Yang, who had just spoken, chuckled again.
He looked at Xiao Mu lightly and asked, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. Where have you been?"
Then he said: "The Imperial Grandmother has mentioned you several times. The Queen Mother said that you have been delayed by something. I don't know what it is?"
When Xiao Mu heard this, he glanced at Empress Dowager Jiang and smiled.
He said with unclear meaning: "It's true that something happened, and it was indeed delayed."
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Empress Dowager Jiang and said, "Grandma, it's a good thing. My grandson has brought good things today."
Empress Dowager Jiang also looked at Xiao Mu, feeling curious for a moment.
She has lived in this harem for most of her life and has never seen any good things.
But looking at Xiao Mu's appearance, it didn't look like he was bragging, so he smiled and said, "Come on, the Ai family is very old, so even if there are any good things, you young people will like them."
Xiao Mu didn't say anything else, he just said: "Grandma Huang, please take a look at what my grandson brought first. I guarantee Grandma Huang will be happy."
Xiao Yang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "Brother, don't be too tight-lipped. It's a good thing. Just let people present it. It's useless to talk about it so much."
Then he said to Empress Dowager Jiang: "Grandma Huang, look at what the emperor said, I'm extremely curious. Grandma Huang has a high status. I haven't seen anything before. I want to see what the emperor brought."
Good things are coming."
This Xiao Yang clearly intended to target Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu didn't care about him. He was just a brainless man who used others as spearmen.
He stood up and greeted Empress Dowager Jiang, then retreated outside the main hall and took the tray from the palace attendant's hand.
