After coming out of Zuixiang Tower, Lu Xiaoxiao took the food box and took Mu Qing back to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as the two of them approached the palace gate, they saw a luxurious-looking carriage engraved with the Prince's Palace logo parked outside.
Lu Xiaoxiao stopped and couldn't help but wonder who was sitting in the carriage.
A maid in green clothes stepped forward and opened the door curtain on the carriage: "Concubine, we have arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion."
【Concubine? Could it be Concubine Xiao? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao was wary and wanted to turn around and run away immediately.
But when she saw Mu Qing standing behind, she held back.
【Oops! Why did Concubine Xiao come back at this time? 】
[If Concubine Xiao knew that I sneaked out of the house through a dog hole and dined out with His Highness...]
[It’s over, it’s over, Concubine Xiao will definitely reward me with a glass of poisonous wine to make me die soon! 】
[If I had known that the person in the carriage was Concubine Xiao, I would have gone through a dog hole again instead of entering through the front door! 】
A soft and waxy voice suddenly sounded in her ears with surprise. Xiao Shuyi, who was sitting in the carriage and was about to get up and get off, was stunned.
Who is speaking?
Xiao Shuyi raised her eyes and saw that apart from the groom and her maid, there were only guards guarding both sides.
And the voice she just heard was unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar. Who got into the dog hole and went out to eat with His Highness?
"Concubine?"
Seeing that Concubine Xiao seemed to be in a daze, which had never happened before, Qing Cong couldn't help but remind her again.
Xiao Shuyi came back to her senses, hummed in a low voice, then supported the maid's green hand and slowly got out of the carriage.
As soon as she stood still, with a glance from the corner of her eye, Xiao Shuyi saw the Mu Qing guard who was supposed to be waiting by His Highness' side, but now he was standing outside the palace gate.
There seems to be another... woman behind him?
Why did Guard Mu Qing bring the woman back to his house?
Xiao Shuyi was surprised and couldn't help but take a step forward.
[Ah ah ah Concubine Xiao is here! She seems to have discovered me, what should I do? 】
[Don’t come here, don’t come here——]
The screams made Xiao Shuyi feel a headache and even her ears hurt.
At this moment, Xiao Shuyi also realized that what she heard must be the voice of someone, and that person was hiding behind Mu Qing guard!
Xiao Shuyi stood still and looked up at Mu Qing, "Guard Mu Qing?"
Mu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Mu Qing has met the side concubine."
"Why is Guard Mu Qing here instead of staying with His Highness?"
As she said that, Xiao Shuyi's eyes fell behind him: "Also, who is hiding behind you?"
[What should I do? Concubine Xiao really noticed me! 】
[Mu Qing, this idiot, will definitely reveal my identity——]
"Return to the concubine's words."
Mu Qing turned sideways, revealing Lu Xiaoxiao behind him: "This is Lu Fengyi."
Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."
Lu Xiaoxiao lowered his head and thought again about the possibility of digging a hole and burying himself in it.
Lu Fengyi?
Isn't Lu Fengyi the one who was sent to the palace as an informant?
Xiao Shuyi was surprised, could she hear Lu Fengyi's thoughts?
What about everyone else?
Xiao Shuyi pretended to be casual and scanned everyone's expressions, but did not see any strange expressions on their faces.
Could it be that she was the only one who could hear it?
wrong.
His Highness will be dining out with Lu Fengyi, and maybe His Highness will be able to hear it!
Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyi's eyes flashed, she took a few steps towards Lu Xiaoxiao and stood in front of her: "Lu Fengyi raises his head, let me have a look."
[Forget it, extending your head and shrinking your head with a knife is also a knife. I hope Concubine Xiao will not embarrass me too much and will not put me in confinement anymore]
Lu Xiaoxin raised his head reluctantly and bowed to Concubine Xiao in an upright manner: "I have met Concubine Xiao."
Looking up, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the appearance of Concubine Xiao.
His eyebrows are so picturesque that I feel pity for him.
beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
It immediately hit Lu Xiaoxiao's heart.
[Oh my God, Concubine Xiao is so beautiful. How can she be the concubine of the Crown Prince instead of the Crown Princess?]
[If I have such a beautiful concubine waiting by my side, I can indulge in the gentle land every day! 】
[However, Concubine Xiao’s face seems a little bad? 】
Xiao Shuyi: "..."
Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but have a blush on her face, feeling ashamed and angry. Why do she indulge in the gentle countryside every day? All Lu Fengyi had in mind were those words of tiger and wolf! ?
"Lu Fengyi, you——"
[Oh, it turns out to be Concubine Xiao’s natal family, something is going to happen to the Xiao family]
Xiao Shuyi was stunned, even the words of reprimand came to her lips but she swallowed them back.
Why did Lu Fengyi say something happened to the Xiao family?
Xiao Shuyi wanted to continue listening, but Lu Xiaoxiao was frightened by her "Lu Fengyi".
Lu Xiaoxiao thought she was going to be punished again. She lowered her head and sighed: "I respectfully listen to the concubine's reprimand."
Xiao Shuyi: "..."
Now that she couldn't hear what she wanted to hear, Xiao Shuyi took a deep breath and calmed down.
Forget it, maybe what Lu Fengyi said was not entirely true. She had just returned from the Xiao family. If something really happened to the Xiao family, it was impossible for her parents not to tell her.
"No need, let's go back home first."
Xiao Shuyi didn't want to argue with Lu Fengyi over such a trivial matter outside the Prince's Mansion, lest she lose the face of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Shuyi took the lead and walked to the door of the Prince's Mansion.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood behind and responded with a low eyebrow, "Yes."
【Huh? Concubine Xiao didn’t punish me today! ! 】
Xiao Shuyi, who was walking in front, stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Qing Cong caught her in time.
Cold sweat broke out on Qing Cong's back, and he held her hand nervously: "Mom, be careful."
Xiao Shuyi waved her hand: "Nothing."
[I always feel that something is wrong with Concubine Xiao]
[Let me see what happened to the Xiao family, which made Concubine Xiao so sad that she couldn’t even walk away]
Xiao Shuyi stopped immediately.
Qing Cong was surprised: "Empress?"
Today's empress is a little different from usual, and she seems to be a little deliberate.
Xiao Shuyi took a step back without leaving a trace: "I'm tired from walking, let's take a rest first."
Qing Cong felt strange, but didn't think much about it, so she could only stand there with her mother.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at it and quickly looked away.
[The medicinal materials shop under Xiao Yunhe’s name sold fake medicinal materials and actually killed eight people? 】
[No, the Xiao family is the largest royal merchant in Shengjing City, and they also have dealings with the Prince's Mansion's industry. How could they sell fake medicinal materials? 】
【Huh? I missed it, this matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family]
[However, Xiao Yunhe was taken advantage of...]
[Then Xiao Yunhe is quite miserable. As soon as he took over the medicinal material store, he had to take the blame for others and face incarceration.]
Xiao Shuyi was shocked.
Xiao Yunhe is her second brother. Today she heard from her mother that her second brother bought a medicinal material shop from his friend yesterday and planned to buy medicinal materials on a large scale and transport them to the south...
