"Mother, it's okay."
I don't know whether it was the sun or the strenuous squatting, but Yaoyao's face turned red and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
The kitten she raised saw its little master looking in pain and circled around her anxiously.
But Yaoyao was completely unaffected by it and continued to squat without even looking at the cat.
Knowing that the kitten is innocent!
Because someone wants to use the cat to harm the princess and the empress. No matter how much Yaoyuan likes the cat, she is not willing to hold it even once.
It was like she hated herself and became the target of others to harm the empress and princess.
The cat was circling around Yuanyuan, eager to jump on her, when a short shadow jumped out from under the cherry tree and hugged the meowing cat.
The person hugging the cat was none other than the Qing prince who had been admitted to the palace by Xuanzong in the past two days.
This scene fell into the eyes of Li Sixu, who was reading a medical book under the shade of a tree. She saw her young master looking thoughtfully at Prince Qing who was hugging the cat, and Nanny Wei, who was doing embroidery work on the side, spoke.
"Why is this little Zhuozi working as an errand?"
Aunt Wei complained: "Why do you dare to let anyone into the Manna Palace?"
"It was Sisi who asked Xiao Zhuozi to let the person in. The one in Hanbing Palace wanted to use him to win over Sisi, pick up Sisi and the prince brother, and deal with Concubine Shu together. How could Sisi not be as good as her?"
"But, my father brought him back to the palace so quickly, can Concubine Shu keep her composure?"
Li Sixu sneered: "It's interesting, there will be a good show to watch next!"
After hearing that the little princess revealed the Qing prince's intention to approach the Manlu Palace, Nanny Wei's keenness made her think that this good show should be a dog-eating-dog affair between Concubine Shu and Wu Chongyuan.
Just when Nanny Wei was about to ask Li Sixu for confirmation, Xiao Zhuozi came out of the woods with an excited face and whispered in Li Sixu's ear.
"Sister Gui'er from Cuiwei Pavilion in Penglai Palace just sent someone to tell this servant that the princess should go to Hanbing Palace to watch a good show."
Did Huangfu Xiuyi take action so soon?
As expected, the daughter of a military general is not easy to mess with. She seems to have not yet given birth at the moment. She really enjoys grudges.
There are not many people who can live such a free and easy life in the palace, and Li Sixu feels that Huangfu Xiuyi is very suitable for her.
So, she raised her lips with interest and waved to Prince Qing, who was holding the cat and looking at the crouching horse steps in the distance.
Prince Qing, who thought he was going to be kicked out of the Manlu Palace, saw Li Sixu smiling at her, and thinking of his mother's instructions, he ran towards Li Sixu excitedly.
"Why did you sneak into the Manna Palace? No one was following you?"
Li Sixu scolded him and took his hand: "It's not okay for you to run around like this. I'll let you play with the cat for a few days, and I'll send you back to Hanbing Palace right now."
Is this to drive him back?
Prince Qing's mouth dropped, but when he thought of the emperor's sister personally sending her back and saying that she would give him the cat to play with for a few days, it seemed that he did not violate his mother's wishes.
Therefore, although he was a little reluctant, he still nodded obediently.
Li Sixu then held the hand of Prince Qing and walked all the way to the Hanbing Palace. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the Hanbing Palace, she heard Huangfu Xiuyi's angry voice coming from inside.
"If you dare to plot against me, get out of here!"
Li Sixu led the Qing prince into the Hanbing Palace, and saw Huangfu Xiuyi, who was wearing a crisp Hu suit, with his hands on his hips, shouting to Wu Chongyuan inside through a door.
At her feet, there were two palace maids tied into rice dumplings with rags stuffed in their mouths.
Huangfu Xiuyi didn't care that the prince was so frightened that he hid behind Li Sixu. He held a whip and said majestically: "How dare you try to trick me like a spy? Why don't you have the guts to come out and confront me? If you don't come out again, Don't blame me for knocking in the door without being polite."
"This Xiuyi is the least likely to be compared to those sinister villains who play tricks. Since she is our emperor's little cousin, she plots this and that like a little white flower all day long. She doesn't mind being embarrassed. She is the mother's concubine. If you don’t set a good example and your upper body is not straight, then your lower body will be crooked. People with such crooked minds will probably raise crooked melons, right?”
When she learned that Huangfu Xiuyi came to the door with two maids tied like rice dumplings, Wu Chongyuan had already asked Ke'er to send people to Xingqing Hall to bring reinforcements.
She could still hold back even if he scolded her.
But calling her adopted Qing'er a crooked melon, Wu Chongyuan was so angry that she couldn't help but open the palace door and rush out.
Seeing that the empress in her family, who had always been tolerant, could not hold back her anger this time, Ke'er was so anxious that he hugged her legs: "My empress, empress, I can't afford to offend this Huangfu Xiuyi. She is the daughter of a military general's family." , so skilled, the reason why Empress Dowager De was thrown into the Luoyang Palace was because she was offended."
"I heard that when her stubborn temper gets worse, she really dares to hit people."
Ke'er was so anxious that she was sweating: "It just so happens that our emperor likes her cheerful temperament and manipulates her everywhere. He will also ask her to accompany her when she goes out of the palace or in private."
"My dear, be patient, Ke'er has sent someone to Xingqing Palace, the emperor is coming soon!"
Ke'er advised Wu Chongyuan: "The more empress you are, the more calm you are. When we confront you later, Huangfu Xiuyi will be able to make up for your mistake."
"She didn't care about scolding me. She even scolded my Qing'er. Qing'er had been raised in Prince Ning's Mansion since she was a child. She had suffered so much. The children in my belly were gone one by one. This harem's Isn’t there a lot of secrets?”
Wu Chongyuan was trembling with anger and her eyes were red: "Xu, they have attacked me several times in the past, but they are not allowed to fight back? What happened to placing people in their palace? Is there no one in Hanbing Palace who was placed by other palaces? Huangfu Xiu Yi is really deceiving others, I will never swallow this!"
Wu Chongyuan's master and servants were trembling with anger one by one, and they did not have the courage to run out and face Huangfu Xiuyi who came to the door with a whip.
Huangfu Xiuyi became even more aggressive. He raised the whip in his hand and whipped it towards the palace door with a loud bang. The door shook violently, and Wu Chongyuan and Ke'er inside the room were frightened and screamed.
Huangfu Xiuyi sneered: "If you have the courage to do evil, but if you don't have the courage to come out and see others, you are like a shrunken turtle. Don't let me look down on you..."
The men sent by Ke'er moved back to reinforce the troops. When Xuanzong stepped into the Hanbing Palace, what he saw was Huangfu Xiuyi holding a whip and whipping the door of the Hanbing Palace so loudly that it seemed that the door would fall down in the next moment. .
Xuanzong was furious and yelled: "You haven't given up yet, what are you doing?"
"emperor……"
Huangfu Xiuyi was startled when he heard the movement behind him.
After paying tribute to Xuanzong, she said unconvinced: "I am not pregnant yet, but I can't bear to swallow this. I don't care about my own body, but I have to come to Hanbing Palace to seek justice."
"The Emperor has always known what kind of temperament I have. I have never been someone who can swallow my anger and never stir up trouble. Even if things happen to me, I will never be afraid of trouble."
Huangfu Xiuyi kicked the big rice dumplings tied into two balls on the ground: "These two, one is the second-class palace maid in the concubine's palace, and the other is the palace maid in Hanbing Palace. The concubine in Hanbing Palace is separated by three and five. The second-class maid in my concubine’s palace gave her valuable things. Isn’t that because she was bribed? Could it be that she was doing good deeds when she had more money?”
