But what does a mere palace book prove?

She tried her best to argue: "If I am Xu Yuanyu, why doesn't Mrs. Yuan send me out of the city, let me hold the jade seal to gather the soldiers and horses of the previous dynasty, surround the imperial city, and force King Yao to give way?" ”

"That's because the imperial city has long been banned, no one can enter or leave, she knows that you can't escape, in order to protect herself, she can only give you away." Lin Hongyi said.

It's not that it doesn't make sense.

Wait a minute......

Xu Qingqing's heart moved, and suddenly thought of something: "You say...... The Imperial City has long been banned? ”

"Knowingly asked." Lin Hongyi coldly spit out four words, not knowing what kind of conspiracy this woman wanted to play.

"And now...... Are the people of the city still not allowed to enter or leave without permission? Xu Qingqing hurriedly asked again.

I don't care about the indifferent tone of this iceberg.

"Girl, since King Yao ascended the throne, the imperial city has been under martial law, and it has been more than ten days now." Seeing that Lin Hongyi was silent, Zilu stepped forward and replied in a low voice.

I see......

Xu Qingqing knew in her heart.

The imperial city is under martial law, and Xu Yuanyu is still in the city nine times out of ten, otherwise Mrs. Yuan would not have to make another move and send herself to Prince Hong's mansion.

The reason why this is the case is that he wants to hide people's eyes and ears, and when the turmoil subsides, he can quietly send Yu out of the city.

Looking at the entire Li Kingdom, only the imperial city was under the control of King Yao, and the rest of the cities had soldiers and horses from the old dynasty.

If Xu Yuyu had left the city early in the morning, he would have immediately gathered the forces of the old dynasty to fight against King Yao, who had an unstable foundation, instead of holding his breath and doing nothing like he did now.

But the imperial city is so big, where should she go to find the whereabouts of Xu Jiaoyu?

Lin Hongyi took in Xu Qingqing's subtle expression, and saw that instead of repenting, she looked thoughtful, and became more and more angry.

When Xu Qingqing came back to his senses, he met such a pair of terrifying eyes.

It is false to say that you are not afraid, but what should be said and what should not be said have been said, and it is obviously too late to regret it at this time.

Xu Qingqing stiffened her head, saluted in Lin Hongyi's sword-like gaze, and said without looking at him: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the room first." ”

Zilu on the side immediately understood, helped her up and walked in the direction of the other garden.

didn't take two steps, and Lin Hongyi's deep voice came from behind him: "If you speak disrespectfully, you don't repent, and you will be punished to kneel in the Buddha Hall and fast for ten days to set an example!" ”

The tone was extremely cold, so cold that Xu Qingqing couldn't help but pause.

Zilu's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, and not far away, Wen Yao, who was secretly watching this scene, gritted her teeth and was unwilling.

Since the last time she was pushed into the medicine jar by Xu Qingqing and knocked a stick, she hated this woman so much!

Today, this woman is so against His Royal Highness, but she was only punished to kneel in the Buddha Hall?

Wen Yao couldn't believe her eyes-Heaven and Earth Conscience, when did His Highness become so merciful?

Lin Hongyi's meaning, naturally no one dared to disobey, and that night, Xu Qingqing moved to the Buddhist hall.

Ten days later, the wedding date will come, and she must hurry up to find that Xu Yuanyu, otherwise everything will be too late......

"Girl, this cat ......" Zilu laid out the futon for Xu Qingqing, and hesitantly pointed to the civet cat nested together on the pear wood table.

The Buddha hall is a place to worship the Buddha, and naturally there is no reason to raise cats.

"Find a place for it in the side room." Xu Qingqing said.

Zilu nodded, reaching out and holding the tanuki in her arms.

It's fluffy, soft, and extremely warm to hold.

The civet cat provoked the female cat in the palace, and was beaten by Xu Shuhuai, and now she was taken out of the palace, and she seemed to understand that Xu Qingqing took her in and saved her life, so she was particularly affectionate, and always took advantage of the fact that people were careless and sneaked in, rubbing around at Xu Qingqing's feet.

I don't know if the new soothing incense has worked, this night, Xu Qingqing didn't have a nightmare, and when she woke up, she didn't see any foreign objects on her forehead.

I don't know if the scene I saw that day was a momentary delusion......

Early in the morning, someone came to knock on the door, and it was none other than Na Wen Yao.

Zilu was angry when she saw her: "What are you doing here?" ”

Wen Yao ignored Zilu's hostility, as if this little girl was not qualified to let her bother at all.

She glanced inside the room, and said arrogantly to Xu Qingqing, who was kneeling on the futon, "Mrs. Yuan is coming to visit, you can come with me." ”

Xu Qingqing's eyes were slightly condensed - this Mrs. Yuan came in time.

Mrs. Yuan came this time and brought a lot of gifts, which was quite a sign of Prince Hong.

Among them, there are many gold, silver, jewelry, and silk satin that were given to Xu Qingqing, saying that they were specially added as dowries for Xu Qingqing.

"I didn't expect that the imperial doctor in the palace was so good at medical skills, and he actually cured your dumb disease." Mrs. Yuan picked up the steaming teacup, took a sip, and looked Xu Qingqing up and down.

It was clearly the same soft and weak appearance as before, but there was a slight change in those eyes.

This seemingly nonexistent change made Mrs. Yuan's heart tense slightly, and she always felt as if something was beyond her control......

Xu Qingqing did not answer.

The imperial doctors in the palace had never diagnosed and treated her at all, but Dr. Zhang in the house, who was acupuncture and medicinal baths, came up with a lot of strange methods.

I don't know if the scene I saw that night was too terrifying, or if Dr. Zhang's method subtly worked, and the dumb disease was cured overnight, which can be regarded as a fortunate thing......

"How is Yulu doing in the house?" She asked directly.

Yuan brought three maids, and there was no rain among them.

Come to think of it, how could this poisonous woman hastily bring the only chip that could threaten her with her?

"She's doing well before," Madame Yuan slowly put down the teacup, "but she's about to have a bad time." ”

These words were meaningful, and Xu Qingqing looked pale when she heard it: "What do you mean?" ”

"I should ask you this," Mrs. Yuan's eyes sharpened, "Yu Yu, why are you talking nonsense in front of His Royal Highness Prince Hong, so that I, who is my aunt, will be ashamed of following you?" ”

Run off at the mouth?

Xu Qingqing suddenly understood-she only opened her mouth once in front of Lin Hongyi, could it be that the Yuan family heard the wind so quickly?

She subconsciously thought that Yuan must have inserted eyeliner into Prince Hong's mansion, but Yuan's next words dispelled her suspicions: "You are the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, but you say that you are the daughter of Concubine Xu...... Where did you put your mother, your relatives? It's ridiculous! ”

After all, there are ears on the wall here, if the Yuan family had planted eyeliner in Prince Hong's mansion, and the news learned from the eyeliner mouth, he would definitely not dare to say it so blatantly......

By the way, when he was arguing with Lin Hongyi, the subordinates on the side also heard it.

Maybe it was someone who had a grudge against him, so he deliberately spread the matter to Yuan's ears......

Xu Qingqing's heart tightened for a while.

She knew very well that the Yuan family didn't dare to really do anything to herself, but Yulu was different, after all, Yulu was just a little palace maid, and now that it was in the hands of the Yuan family, God knows what would happen......

"It seems that it is time to teach you the truth of prudence in words and deeds." Yuan snorted coldly.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Qingqing asked coldly.

In this world, there are not many people she cares about, and she doesn't want to lose any more.

Yuan Shi saw her panicked look in her eyes, her face was proud, and she came forward to lower her voice and said: "That little girl named Yulu likes embroidery, and she doesn't finish embroidering every day when she picks up the needle, but it's a pity, because of your many mouths and tongues, she is going to lose a finger innocently today, what a hard worker......

As he spoke, he sighed a few times half-truthfully.

Seeing Xu Qingqing's pale face, she pretended to be bitter, and said: "Uncle, this is all for your good, you have to be obedient in the future, don't play with the child's temper again, change the previous bad habits, teach your husband and children with peace of mind, and serve His Royal Highness Prince Hong, do you hear?" ”

Although Zilu on the side didn't know what grievances there were between the two, she could see that Mrs. Yuan not only did not care about her master, but also revealed a trace of strange condescension, which was really unbearable.

Just when Zilu thought that Xu Qingqing would be silent and indifferent as before, Xu Qingqing suddenly opened her mouth: "It's obviously a cold winter wax moon, why is there a buzzing fly in the front hall?" ”

Zilu couldn't help but be stunned.

Yuan Shi's eyes widened when he landed: "You...... Do you dare to scold me? ”

"I only said there was a fly in this antechamber, not that it was you. Auntie, you're too worried. Xu Qingqing looked at her with a light smile.

The gaze was very clear and plain, and it seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and Yuan Shi was stunned for a while.

She obviously didn't expect Xu Qingqing to dare to be so sharp-tongued, she came back to her senses, and took a step forward angrily: "Don't forget, that Yulu ......"

Xu Qingqing attached to her ear and whispered: "When I was ten years old, Yulu was very angry because of her outstanding embroidery, which made the embroidery girl in the palace very red, and some embroidery girls framed her as a thief, causing her to be caught by a stick and waste her hands, and she can no longer hold an embroidery needle, but you say that she embroiders every day?" Do you think I'm that easy to deceive? ”

"You ......" Yuan Shi was stunned for a while, and his face changed greatly.

"I don't have anyone to be nostalgic for in this world, but you are different, aunt, there are too many people you want to protect, your power and status, glory and wealth are all in jeopardy, I can easily pierce it with my fingers. I advise you to enjoy your old age with peace of mind, and don't talk too much and meddle in things, otherwise I don't know if I will tell the truth in a fit of anger and let everything that your aunt has worked so hard to manage come to naught. Xu Qingqing continued.

Since she was a child, her mother taught her to be patient in everything, but the soldiers will block the water and cover up the root cause of the problem, especially in the face of insidious and vicious enemies like Yuan, blindly retreating will only make her more and more arrogant.

"You...... What a big breath! Yuan was so angry that he trembled.

It's just a woman born to an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, and because of her, she was able to live in this Prince Hong's mansion in place of Princess Yuyu, and now she is so indifferent!
