"What, Princess Xiao is going to the Second Prince's Mansion? Does Lord Xiao know about this? ”

Xiaomei shook her head, "I shouldn't know, right?" What should I do, Brother Bai, do you want to tell Lord Xiao about this? ”

"Well, I must tell Prince Xiao to know, but Lord Xiao is investigating the case outside, and I don't know his whereabouts. For now, it is better to accompany Princess Xiao to the Second Prince's Mansion first, in case anything happens. ”

Xiaomei nodded in agreement with Bai Qian's approach, and discussed with Bai Qian, Bai Qian dressed up as a groom, and Xiaomei followed Princess Xiao into the carriage.

"Xiaomei, what have you done, why did it take so long to come up?"

As soon as Xiaomei got into the carriage, Yan Zixi asked strangely.

"Huh? No, no, there are too many things, and the slave can't move them all at once......" Xiaomei rolled her eyes and replied with an excuse.

Yan Zixi believed it suspiciously, and then didn't ask any more.

On the contrary, Xiaomei asked Yan Zixi curiously, "Princess, you took so many valuable things to the Second Prince's Mansion to give gifts, do you have something to ask for?" ”

Originally, Yan Zixi didn't want to tell Xiaomei about the matter, but seeing that Xiaomei had asked, Yan Zixi didn't bother to hide it anymore.

"Well, this princess is here to visit the second princess...... Several of her palace maids attended the birthday banquet of Concubine Shuniang, which may be related to the poisoning case, I want to ask for clarification......"

"Huh?!" Xiaomei immediately frowned after hearing this, "Princess, the second princess hates you so much, aren't you going to find her now?" What's more, people may not agree to help you? ”

Yan Zixi let out a long sigh, "Xiaomei, why don't you know about these princesses you are talking about?" But now that all the clues are broken, I don't want to see Jing Cong scurrying around outside like a headless fly every day. And the time limit stipulated by the emperor is getting closer and closer, and I am worried that Jing Cong will not be able to find any clues by then...... So even if there is a big risk, this princess has to give it a try! ”

"Well, the slave knows."

Xiaomei finally understood Yan Zixi's distress, she was a maid and couldn't help much, so she could only secretly swear to protect Yan Zixi and never let her be wronged in the Second Prince's Mansion again.

The master and servant were thinking about their own thoughts, so when they arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, neither of them knew that if it weren't for the horseman Bai Qian shouting outside the curtain.

Yan Zixi tidied up her clothes, got out of the carriage with Xiaomei, and went straight to the Second Prince's Mansion.

As soon as they walked up the steps, Yan Zixi and the maid Xiaomei were stopped by the guards at the gate of the mansion.

"Stop, this is the Second Prince's Mansion, the idlers and others hurry away!"

"Blind your dog's eyes, this is Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, don't get out of the way quickly!" Xiaomei stepped forward and announced to the guards.

When the guards heard this, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

"Are you new here? Didn't this princess come to your house last time? Don't know each other anymore? Yan Zixi also asked in a deep voice.

At this time, one of the guards replied with a fist: "Princess Xiao is angry, and the little ones are just routine." Princess Xiao also asked to wait here for a while, and Rong Xiao entered the mansion to report to the master. ”

"What, you actually asked our Princess Xiao to wait at the door......"

Xiaomei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yan Zixi, "Forget it, Xiaomei, let him go in and report." ”

"Thank you Princess Xiao for your understanding, the little one will go in and inform you." With that, the guard turned around and ran into the mansion.

Yan Zixi and Xiaomei were waiting at the door.

After waiting for a short time, the guard who went to report turned back again, and then respectfully invited Yan Zixi into the mansion. Fire Book Bar

"Princess Xiao, my master is invited!"

"Well, lead the way."

"Uh-huh, Princess Xiao, please!"

The guard invited Yan Zixi into the mansion, Xiaomei followed closely with those gifts, and the master and servant, led by the guard, walked through the courtyard and went straight to the second prince's mansion in the back garden.

Yan Zixi looked up and saw the second imperial concubine, dressed in a rich and gorgeous dress, sitting there feeding the fish.

Yan Zixi walked over quickly and saluted: "Yan Zixi of the Zhenguo General's Mansion has seen the second imperial concubine, the second imperial concubine is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

The second imperial concubine heard Yan Zixi saluting there, put down the bait in her hand, turned around, and showed a smile on her face covered with heavy makeup.

"Yo, isn't this Princess Xiao? How could you come to our little place, it's really splendid. ”

"Second Imperial Princess, you are joking, I don't know how many people want to enter the Second Prince's Mansion and you can't make it!"

Yan Zixi flattered her while wincing at Xiaomei behind her, and asked her to send the gifts she had prepared in advance.

"Zixi didn't prepare any good gifts here, there are 1,000 taels of silver, five strings of jewelry bracelets, and five boxes of jade agate for the second imperial concubine, which shows Zixi's heart."

Seeing this, the smile on the second imperial concubine's face became even stronger, "Princess Xiao is here, why did she bring a gift?" How can Hongu be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift! ”

Saying that, the two imperial concubines excused themselves.

"Second Imperial Princess, you can accept it, no matter how you say it, it is also my heart." Yan Zixi persuaded again and again.

The second imperial concubine saw that Yan Zixi insisted again and again, and finally accepted it.

"Okay, then the palace will thank Princess Xiao for her kindness."

"It should be, it should be." Yan Zixi grinned, but in her heart, she had already despised the second imperial concubine.

After the second imperial concubine received the gift, she naturally knew that Yan Zixi must have something to ask her for this trip, so she asked directly: "Princess Xiao, you asked to see the palace, and you brought so many gifts, there must be something important, right?" ”

Yan Zixi saw that the second imperial concubine took the initiative to ask, and she didn't hide anything, and then she said the purpose of this trip.

"Second Imperial Concubine, as the so-called Three Treasures Hall is not allowed to do anything, Zixi came here today to ask the second imperial concubine to do Yan Zixi a favor."

"Oh?! I don't know what I need help with? Hongu will definitely do his best to help. "What the second princess said is high-sounding, everyone knows that she is saying polite words, and she can't be true.

Yan Zixi couldn't care much about it, so she told the second imperial concubine what happened in the prison yesterday.

After hearing this, the second imperial concubine's face changed slightly, and she asked tentatively: "Princess Xiao, are you suspecting that those palace maids in this palace poisoned and poisoned Concubine Shu's birthday banquet?" ”

"No, that's not what Zixi meant."

"Then you are questioning the palace for shielding people?" The second imperial concubine's face became serious, and her smile disappeared.

When Yan Zixi heard this, she simply knelt down, "Second Imperial Concubine, Zixi is definitely not here to question the Second Imperial Concubine this time, Zixi just wants to ask the Second Imperial Concubine to call out those palace maids, so that Zixi can ask them about the situation that day in person, and implore the Second Imperial Concubine to be fulfilled." ”

The second princess picked up the cup, tasted a sip of fragrant tea, and then slowly said, "Okay, let's get up and talk first." ”

"Thank you, Second Imperial Princess......"
