Chapter 266: Retreat (14)
Although Qingying is a shadow, it usually does not appear, but Concubine Wen has lived in the main altar of the Shadow Pavilion before, plus Xiaoman has gone out several times to help Wei Chimu, and she is also accompanied by Qingying, although Concubine Wen does not know the organization of the Shadow Pavilion, but there are many secret guards among the royal children, and this Qingying is probably similar to the secret guard, so Qingying appeared directly in the backyard of the palace, and Concubine Wen was not so surprised, but she appeared without concealment, I was afraid that the situation was urgent, and she had to report it immediately.
Concubine Wen inevitably flashed a trace of uneasiness in her heart. And not only Concubine Wen is like this, but so is Chi Xiaoman.
"Princess, my subordinates have something important to report. Qingying bowed, and the moment she lowered her head to speak, her eyes glanced at Concubine Wen.
Chi Xiaoman didn't miss the hesitation that flashed on his face and his face, he already knew in his heart, I was afraid that what he was going to say was related to Wei Chimu, and it was not a good thing, so he didn't dare to let Concubine Wen know.
"But what did the emperor do to the Shadow Pavilion there?"
This matter has been mentioned to Qingying before, and there is no need to hide it from Concubine Wen, just at this time, so as not to let Concubine Wen think of Yu Chimu.
And in this pavilion, there are only Jinxiu and Xiao Yan's nurses, as well as the aunts brought out of the palace by Concubine Wen's side, who have been with Concubine Wen for more than 20 years, and these people can be trusted.
Qingying breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said: "Exactly, all the branches of the Great Jing Inner Shadow Pavilion have been monitored, and I am afraid that the branches of the Shengxing Dynasty are no exception. He was also too anxious to find the princess, but he didn't expect that Concubine Wen was also in this pavilion, fortunately, the princess was shrewd, if he was asked what he wanted to report, he couldn't think of anything he could report for a while!
"Mother, now that the war is not over, the prince is still on the battlefield, this shadow pavilion was established by the prince, and there are still many industries under it, the daughter-in-law should be guarded by the prince, the daughter-in-law will discuss countermeasures with Qingying first, and Yu Yan also asked the mother to take care of it. Xiao Man got up and saluted Concubine Wen.
From Fang Cai's conversation, where could Concubine Wen not hear that this was the emperor's idea to fight the Shadow Pavilion, the Shadow Pavilion was his son's, the emperor had already let her son go on a campaign for him, and now he still wanted to stretch out his hand to his son's private property?
Concubine Wen has lived in the palace for many years and doesn't know much about the affairs of the Shadow Pavilion, but from Xiao Man's words, she also heard that the Shadow Pavilion is not just an intelligence organization, and there are probably a lot of industries underneath.
"Let's go. "Xiaoman, how much ability this daughter-in-law has, she has heard a lot before, she naturally hopes that Xiaoman can help her son, taking care of Yu Yan is just a trivial matter, and she is a grandmother who takes care of her own grandson, not to mention that there are nurses and slaves on her side.
Xiao Man led Qingying to the study, and Jinxiu followed Xiao Man, muttering in his heart all the way.
Ever since she knew that the guards in front of the palace were sent by the emperor to guard the Jing'an Palace, she was very dissatisfied with the emperor in her heart, and when she heard that the emperor had also put his mind on the Shadow Pavilion, Jinxiu was even more angry.
Jinxiu has been by Xiaoman's side since Xiaolian married Ji Minzhi, and she also has some understanding of the Shadow Pavilion, and she knows better how the emperor's throne came to be now, so she is indignant at the emperor and the princess like this.
"Splendid, don't let people bother. Before coming to the study, Xiao Man said. Guangxi
Jin Rust is a clever man, so he naturally knows that the princess means that no one is even allowed to come near here, and when the princess and Qingying enter the study, they close the door and guard the door.
The study room of Jing'an Palace, which is not only the regulation of the palace, is naturally quite atmospheric, the bookcase of rosewood is square in shape, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the bookshelf is also made of precious yellow rosewood.
Xiao Man doesn't come here very often, not only because the study is in the front yard, but the woman stays in the backyard a lot, mainly because she and Wei Chimu live here too little.
At this time, she didn't have the heart to appreciate it carefully, and she didn't even have time to sit down, so she hurriedly asked, "But what happened to the prince?"
Qingying nodded, bowed and replied: "The prince asked people to summon back, hoping that his subordinates can take the princess to Xiangmanlou." ”
Fragrant Building?
Chi Xiaoman was a little surprised, and for a while he couldn't understand why he wanted her to go there.
"The war is over?" asked Xiaoman.
Qingying nodded, lowered his voice and replied, "Fang Qi is dead, but ...... The prince was poisoned, no one knows about it, and the prince asked the princess to go to detoxify. ”
This bad news made Xiao Man's heart tighten tightly, although he had expected that Qingying would not say good news, but this news was really bad.
She knew very well that if it was just an ordinary poison, Wei Chimu would not need her to go in person, and the poison was probably prepared by Fang Qi and could not be solved by ordinary doctors.
"Now that there are all the emperor's people outside, do you have a way to take me out without letting people know?" Xiao Man forced himself to calm down and stared at Qingying.
"Yes, but I'm afraid it will require the princess to change her face. Qingying replied.
"You mean pretending to be a buying mother-in-law or a slave?" Xiao Man knew what Qingying was planning as soon as he heard it.
"Yes, I have wronged the princess. ”
Xiao Man waved his hand, which was nothing to her, "Without further ado, you go out of the house first, and in an hour, we will meet under the East City Gate." ”
