"Jingcong, what do you mean...... Did the emperor deliberately put the concubine into the cold palace? Yan Zixi blinked her big watery eyes and asked in surprise.

Xiao Jingcong hurriedly covered Yan Zixi's mouth and motioned for her to be quiet.

"Xi'er, you just need to know this in your heart. After all, the reputation of the third prince above the court is also very high, and it should be said that he is the most likely person to threaten the position of the second prince and the crown prince, and it is not surprising that the emperor would do such a thing in order to protect the imperial power! ”

"But...... But ......" Yan Zixi still couldn't believe it, "but the emperor's favorite concubine is not Concubine Shuniang, is he willing to let her become a victim of this power struggle?" ”

Xiao Jingcong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "No way, maybe this is the emperor's difficulty." Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go to Shufang Palace to visit Concubine Shuniang now! ”

"Uh-huh."

Yan Zixi nodded, and rushed to Shufang Palace with Xiao Jingcong.

In the past, the gate of Shufang Palace, which was very lively, is now a door.

Although it was a hot day, Yan Zixi felt a little cold and lonely when she walked here.

Just when Yan Zixi was sighing in her heart, she suddenly heard the voice of a maid from Shufang Palace.

"Who? Who's out there? A little maid hurriedly ran out of Shufang Palace.

Seeing Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, the little maid hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"Slaves and maids see Lord Xiao, see Princess Xiao!"

Xiao Jingcong stepped forward, glanced at the little maid kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly, "Do you know this king and the princess?" ”

"Back to Lord Xiao's words, during the birthday banquet of the slave master, the slave maid once saw you at the banquet." The little maid replied respectfully, not daring to hide anything.

"Okay, got it, you get up first." Xiao Jingcong let the maid get up, and then asked, "Where is the lady lady now?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, Concubine Shu is in the palace...... Do you want the slave to go in and report it? ”

Xiao Jingcong waved his hand, "No need, just go in by yourself." ”

"Yes......" The little maid bowed down and got out of the way when she heard this, and then followed Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi into Shufang Palace.

As soon as they stepped into the threshold, Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi heard the coughing sound of Concubine Shu's mother coming from Shufang Palace.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Hearing this cough, Yan Zixi couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong, Xi'er?" Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi stop, and couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"Listening to this coughing sound, it seems that the lady has been sick for a long time......" Yan Zixi replied with a sad face.

Xiao Jingcong didn't say much, turned his head and continued to walk towards the palace.

They saw the pale-faced lady in the small courtyard behind the palace.

Compared to the last time I saw her, this time Concubine Shuniang was obviously much haggard. Baidu

Yan Zixi walked over and saluted Concubine Shu, "Zixi greets Concubine Shuniang." ”

Hearing Yan Zixi's greeting, Concubine Shuniang raised her head, glanced at Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong who was standing behind her, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao are here? When you see this happening to Hongu, are you here to see Hongu's jokes? ”

"Concubine Niangniang, you misunderstood, Xi'er came to visit you on purpose......" Yan Zixi saw that Concubine Niangniang had misunderstood her intentions, and hurriedly explained.

"Visit me? This palace is now in such a miserable appearance, what else is there to look at......" Concubine Niangniang dropped a book of poems in her hand, stood up, and couldn't help coughing because of her anger.

Seeing this, Yan Zixi hurriedly walked over and helped the lady concubine, "Concubine Niangniang, you are very sick, let Zixi help you take a look!" ”

Who knew that Concubine Shu shook off Yan Zixi's hand and said coldly: "There is no need for Princess Xiao to be pretending to be benevolent here, this palace has not fallen to the point where she can't even see her illness!" ”

The more Yan Zixi listened, the more confused she became, how could she feel that this lady was very hostile to herself. I didn't offend her anywhere, how could she ......

Just when Yan Zixi was confused, Xiao Jingcong also came over and said lightly to Concubine Shu: "Concubine Niangniang, Xi'er is also a good intention, why are you so unkind?!" ”

"Unkind? Oh, the princess's kindness is understood in this palace, there is something else in the palace, please go back to the princess! Concubine Shuniang directly ordered the eviction, "Xiaoqing, send off the guests!" ”

Hearing Concubine Shu's order, the maid hurriedly ran over just now, and then cautiously said to Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi: "Lord Xiao, Princess Xiao, you better leave with the slave maid!" ”

Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong glanced at each other, and saw that Concubine Shuniang had already turned her back, and she didn't allow any words at all, so she could only leave temporarily.

"Concubine Shuniang, I don't know where Xi'er and I offended you. Xi'er and I came here to tell you one thing, even if you fall to the bottom and lose your power, our Zhenguo General's Mansion will still stand with you. ”

After saying this, Xiao Jingcong glanced at Yan Zixi, and said to Yan Zixi: "Xi'er, let's go." ”

"But......" Yan Zixi wanted to say something, but seeing that Xiao Jingcong had already winked at herself, she had no choice but to nod and leave Shufang Palace together.

It wasn't until Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi left that the lady lady turned around, thinking about the meaningful words that Xiao Jingcong said just before leaving, and seemed to think of something in her heart......

……

After leaving Shufang Palace, Yan Zixi immediately caught up with Xiao Jingcong and asked with a puzzled face.

"Jingcong, why didn't you let me finish talking just now, why didn't you let me see a doctor for Concubine Shu?!"

Xiao Jingcong smiled faintly, and said helplessly: "Xi'er, haven't you seen that Concubine Shuniang has a hard time?" ”

"Bitter? What's the pain?! Yan Zixi didn't understand what Xiao Jingcong meant by this.

"I guess I was closely monitored by someone, so I had to show such an attitude and deliberately hide people's eyes." Xiao Jingcong said the guess in his heart.

When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately opened her mouth wide, with a look of complete disbelief, "Won't it?" Who would spy on an abandoned concubine who has fallen out of favor and been sent to the cold palace? ”

"Xi'er, the affairs in the palace are not as simple as you think, even if you are already an abandoned concubine, don't forget that the son of the lady concubine is still the dignified and upright His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

"Jingcong, I seem to understand a little...... although Yan Zixi doesn't know what she understands, she feels a little bit of an eyebrow." Jingcong, so what now? We're just leaving? I'm so unwilling! ”

The corners of Xiao Jingcong's mouth hooked up a chuckle, "Don't worry, when Fang just left for her husband, she had already left those words." Concubine Niangniang is a smart person, she must be able to understand what this king means, if she really wants to, she will definitely find a way to contact us secretly! ”
