Zhao Wujiang's eyes were cold. From the time he stepped into Ning'an Palace to just now, he had always been kind and kind.
But this time after his conversation was interrupted by the palace maid, his whole body instantly became as cold as ice that would never melt.
He grabbed the pretty palace maid's wrist and said in a deep voice:
"Mother, is this the new maid of Ning'an Palace?
I don't remember seeing him before. "
Although Zhao Wujiang is not Ji Bochang, after Zhang Xukun gave the ball of light last night, he also understood many details. For example, he confirmed that Ji Bochang had never seen the palace maid in front of him before.
"Your father loves you very much and is worried that our Ning'an Palace will not have enough manpower, so he specially dispatched them from other palaces." Concubine An explained with a smile.
"Mother, my son's house is short of manpower. This palace maid looks very smart. How about giving it to my son as a reward?" Zhao Wujiang squeezed the palace maid's hand tightly, tightening it tighter and tighter.
He could feel that every time he exerted more force, every time the palace maid's expression became more painful, the dark eyes looking over here became more intense, and Concubine An's expression became more nervous.
"That's all, I know that my mother is reluctant to part with you.
The Queen Mother must be very fond of such a well-behaved and smart palace maid, so it would be better for her sons and ministers not to take advantage of the Queen Mother. "
Zhao Wujiang suddenly smiled and loosened his grip on the palace maid. He helped Concubine An up, held Concubine An's hand, and said with a smile:
"Someone from Honglu Temple came this morning with a letter, asking me to go to Honglu Temple to discuss important matters. I won't bother you any more and come back tomorrow to see my mother."
Concubine An's smile was somewhat stiff, with a worried look on her face, and she walked side by side with her child outside the palace.
"Snapped."
Zhao Wujiang gently patted the pretty girl's small buttocks and raised his eyebrows.
The palace maid pursed her lips and did not dare to look at His Highness the Fourth Prince.
Zhao Wujiang did not look back, and did not say anything to Concubine An all the way. It was not until he left Ning'an Palace that Zhao Wujiang said goodbye.
And a ball of paper appeared in his hand, which he held tightly.
This was what An Fei had just given to him.
The paper ball is an extremely ordinary object. It is not contaminated by any spiritual energy, so it is not easy to detect.
From the moment he stepped into Ning'an Palace, he smelled something unusual.
There were too many servants at the entrance of the palace, as if to greet him, but more of them seemed to be monitoring people coming in and out.
Concubine An's personal greeting, the bruises on Concubine An's face, Concubine An's hesitation several times, and the inadvertent look of panic on her face all showed that the things behind the Immortal Body were not simple.
And the charming and innocent palace maid is also full of flaws. She looks panicked, but in fact she is more calm.
Finally, he asked for the palace maid, and the palace maid's reaction was wrong. There was no panic, flattery, shyness, etc. the emotions he should have.
This undoubtedly confirmed to him that someone was monitoring Concubine An.
Who in this grand palace would dare to spy on a prince's biological mother like this?
Besides the emperor's master and the higher-ranking concubines, who else is there?
The purpose should be related to the immortal body.
The sudden death of the imperial concubine was probably related to this matter.
Zhao Wujiang walked step by step outside the palace and towards Honglu Temple.
Behind him, several eyes followed quietly until his figure disappeared at the end of the palace road.
Zhao Wujiang looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, and his brows showed his usual domineering dignity.
He did not ride in a carriage, and there was no ceremonial guard.
Under the respectful eyes of the imperial city guards, he stepped onto the avenue and blended into the crowd, while quietly reading the contents of the note.
