"Niangniang, you said that this jade concubine is not stupid, she actually brought a dagger to Emperor Chen and threw herself into the net." Tonight, no one slept in the entire Chenguo Imperial Palace, and Xinlan was disdainful of what had just happened.

Xiyue, who was slightly tired, stroked her forehead, "Hmph, it's just to put on a show in front of Emperor Xiao." ”

"What did the mother say?" Xinlan didn't pay attention to the meaning of Xiyue's words.

The beautiful woman raised her eyes lazily and glared at her, "Talk, do your duty." ”

However, this Emperor Chen really has some wisdom, and actually came up with such a way to sabotage Emperor Xiao's plan, of course Xiyue knows that Emperor Xiao wants to use this to force Emperor Chen to dispose of the queen, or give him some heart-warming benefits, but I didn't expect that now someone has thrown himself into the net, and in the end, what Emperor Xiao got was just a corpse of the "culprit", at most he would give some painless compensation.

Xiyue just pitied the jade concubine slightly, obviously she didn't kill her, but she had to rush to the tip of the sword, it was really the most ruthless emperor's family, yesterday may be like glue, tomorrow may be lost life.

At this time, a small voice broke through the air, and the two of them looked out the window vigilantly, only to see a small hole in the thin layer of window paper, Xinlan of course understood what was happening, and soon found the code on the nearby portrait.

"Mother's ......"

Xiyue's face was extremely ugly, the envoy had obviously been poisoned by himself, how could he appear again? Or is it that in a short period of time, the emperor has already found someone else to replace the envoy? Or is the emperor doubting himself?

Xiyue couldn't help but think a lot, and soon cold sweat oozed from her palm.

……

In the bamboo forest.

In the dark night, the hazy figure stood there strangely, making Xiyue gasp, and she called tentatively, "Messenger? ”

However, the black-robed man did not respond.

With her hands behind her back, a short dagger hidden in her palm, she wasn't sure if the black-robed man would do anything against her when he turned around. However, the footsteps got closer and closer, and the man finally turned back faintly, but the cloak covered half of his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Emissary?"

Saizuki tried to see something from the man, but an unfamiliar voice sounded.

"Princess, the emperor is about to return to the palace, and I want to give you a serious task."

Xiyue raised her eyebrows, knowing it in her heart, but she had to pretend to be cautious, "Who are you?!" Why impersonate the messenger? ”

The black-robed man smiled faintly, "The previous envoy has been sent back to Yi by the emperor, and from today onwards, he will be in charge of contacting him." ”

Sent back to the country of Yi? The emperor knew that the envoy was missing, but he let this person hide something from himself, and sure enough, the emperor was already suspicious! Do you want to test whether you will make a move?

"How does this palace know that you are sent by the emperor?"

A token immediately appeared in the black-robed man's hand, and Xiyue slightly relaxed her tense nerves, and immediately smiled, "Forgive Xiyue for having to be cautious, I don't know what the emperor wants Xiyue to do?" ”

"I believe that for the princess, it is not a difficult thing, only the princess needs to steal something." The man's tone paused slightly, "I believe the princess should know that the prince of Chenguo will carry a piece of jade pendant, right?" ”

Jade pendant? The smile on Xiyue's face froze, Dongfang Xu was very vigilant every time he saw her, and he didn't allow himself to get close to him, she really didn't pay attention to what the prince was wearing.

It's just that at this time, she can only smile, "Well, do you want Bengong to steal that jade pendant?" ”

"That jade pendant is the prince's unique token, with that jade pendant you can do a lot of things, the emperor ordered the princess to hand over the jade pendant to the emperor before he returns to the country!"

It's not that difficult. "Xiyue understands that there is a labor messenger."

I thought he would say something, but I didn't want to fall into an eerie silence around him, Xiyue raised his eyes suspiciously, but saw that the man seemed to be staring at him, and his motionless appearance made Xiyue secretly gasp.

"Huh."

Leaving a light laugh, the cold wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, only the rustle of leaves remained in the forest, and the figure of the black-robed man was gone.

What does this sneer mean? Xiyue frowned tightly, could it be that he saw something? If Her Majesty Xià came to question herself personally, then Xiyue would not be so worried, because she had already thought of a set of words that people couldn't fault and could completely clear her suspicions, but now, Her Majesty Xià didn't make the slightest move, which made Xiyue more and more uneasy.

Your Highness's jade pendant? It seems that he still needs the assistance of the prince in this matter.

……

Next.

"Mother, were you tired yesterday?"

The palace maid gently helped Du Yuanxiu press her temples, last night, the prince and the side concubine Niangniang returned to the palace very late, and now the side concubine is pregnant, the queen has explained that she wants to be good and waiting, today I saw Du Yuanxiu looking tired, and the palace maid's tone was full of worry.

However, the woman shook her head slightly, "No, it's just that I can't sleep well at night." ”

"The slave maid wants to call the county lord of Yongji into the palace to treat the mother?"

Speaking of Yun Shu, Du Yuanxiu's movements froze, recalling the tenderness of His Royal Highness that night, she felt that when she faced Yun Shu alone, she always couldn't help but envy and blame herself, "No need, help the palace to go out for a walk, maybe it will be much better." ”

There was a layer of frost on the surface of the lake in the palace, and it was white and white, just like Du Yuanxiu's mood at the moment.

In addition to often ordering people to send tonics for the fetus, His Royal Highness has never stepped into her dormitory, yesterday, His Royal Highness's obvious alienation, how could Du Yuanxiu not feel it, until now, His Royal Highness is still unwilling to accept himself.

couldn't help but reach out and stroke his abdomen, Du Yuanxiu was a little melancholy, I don't know if His Royal Highness will treat him differently after the child in this womb is born, at least, this is an unbreakable bond between her and His Royal Highness.

"Sister, why did you come out today, it's cold these days, aren't you afraid of freezing?" At this time, there was a voice of concern behind him, Du Yuanxiu turned around, and saw a group of people from far and near.

The woman at the head was dressed in a rose-red long skirt, and the snow-white fox fur set off her beautiful and fragrant face. Du Yuanxiu couldn't help but think of the previous incident when she and the second princess both fell into the lake, is it really related to Xiyue?

"What is my sister thinking? Come on, get warm in the pavilion. Xiyue warmly held Du Yuanxiu's cold little hand, "Oh, look at my sister's hand, why is it so cold, how do you all serve your master?!" ”

Xiyue's face immediately turned cold, and the palace maid beside Du Yuanxiu immediately knelt down in panic, "The slave should die, the princess is angry!" ”

However, this voice begging for mercy was so loud that it made Xiyue's heart more and more unhappy.

When he travels by himself, he carries only ten palace maids with him, and this Du Yuanxiu travels, but there are so many people behind him, isn't this a slap in his face?

"Sister, it's none of their business, it's my sister's weak body."

"Sister, you can't be so accustomed to these subordinates, otherwise they will forget their identity and may step on the master's head at any time." The smile on Xiyue's face was full of meaning, and then she pulled Du Yuanxiu to sit in the pavilion, and the stove rose around her, and the warmth was wrapped around them in an instant.

"Hey, my sister is a person with a body now, and I have to pay attention to everything, I thought that my sister was going to sit with my sister today, but I didn't want to meet here, but it was really fate."

The enthusiastic Xiyue's face was full of concern, and the appearance of asking for warmth made Du Yuanxiu wonder more and more in his heart whether he was a villain's heart and jealous of the belly of a gentleman.

"Oh, my sister's face is not very good, I heard that yesterday was Miss Du San's big day, it's a pity that my sister can't leave the palace, but my sister is really, now she is a person with a body, even if she doesn't think about herself, she must think about the child in her womb, you must not be tired!"

Xiyue sincerely advised, "By the way, my sister has the secret recipe of Vice Yi Guo here, which is especially nourishing for people with bodies, Xinlan." ”

"Yes, sissy." Xinlan smiled deeply, then turned around and quickly retreated.

The exquisite pastries were put on the table, Xiyue didn't seem to see Du Yuanxiu's vigilant appearance, and told everyone with a body to pay attention to all aspects, until Xinlan brought the hot soup up, "Sister, this soup is still hot, drink it, warm up." ”

Du Yuanxiu's gaze fell on the pitch-black decoction, and a rich aroma came to her nose, while Xiyue's eyes were filled with a deep smile, and she stared at her expectantly.

"Sister, why don't you drink it?"

After a long time, Du Yuanxiu made a move, and she slowly pushed the bowl of soup medicine aside, "Sister, the county lord of Yongji has instructed that unless it is in the hands of the county lord, my sister cannot use medicine at will." ”

The smile on Xiyue's face slowly converged, "I see, my sister didn't think it through, but this tonic is hard to find, and whenever there is an imperial concubine and a pregnant concubine in our Yi Kingdom, they all take this medicine." Or does my sister not believe in my sister? ”

The unconcealable loss in her eyes made Du Yuanxiu feel shocked, and hurriedly stood up, "Thank you sister for your kindness, it's just that the county lord of Yongji has told me that my sister doesn't dare to overstep the rules, otherwise if you let Your Highness know......"

"My sister is joking with my sister, since it is the order of the county lord of Yongji, how can my sister embarrass my sister." Xiyue smiled and stretched out her hand, picked up the decoction and drank most of it, Du Yuanxiu was surprised by her movements, and had to admit that she did doubt whether Xiyue had done anything in this medicine, and now it seems that she has lived up to her good intentions.

Could it be that every qiē is too much of oneself?

"Presumably my sister is tired too, right? Go back early and rest. Xiyue stood up, looked at Du Yuanxiu's apologetic gaze, and then slowly turned around.

"Sister walks slowly......"

"Hmm." He responded lightly, and when he turned around, Du Yuanxiu didn't see the cold light that flashed in Xiyue's eyes
