Chapter 25: The Kunqing Palace Theft

()

Seeing Concubine De leaving, Xiao'er walked in from outside the door. Although she didn't know what Concubine De Niangniang and Xinchun said, she could see from Xinchun's face that Concubine De was not good this time.

"Girl!"

Xiao'er stepped forward and called softly.

Xinchun raised her head, saw that it was Xiao'er, and smiled.

"Girl, are you alright?" Xiao'er asked with some concern.

Xinchun smiled and shook her head, but her smile couldn't hide the sadness between her eyebrows.

"Girl, don't worry, the two children are auspicious, and they will be fine!" Xiao'er comforted knowingly.

Xinchun sighed and said,

"I hope so!"

Xiao'er was speechless for a while when she saw Xinchun, and hurriedly said,

"Girl, it's not early, Xiao'er will get you something to eat!"

Xiao'er was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Xinchun.

"Xiao'er, I have something to tell you!"

Xinchun was a little hesitant, but finally decided to ask Xiao'er what she meant.

Xiao'er returned to Xinchun's side in some surprise, and asked with a smile,

"What's the matter with the girl?"

Xinchun no longer hesitated, and said,

"Xiao'er, is your family okay now?"

Hearing this, Xiao'er was stunned, but she replied with a smile,

"Thank you girl for your concern, Xiao'er's family is very good!"

Then there was a silence, Xinchun did not ask again, and Xiao'er did not answer again. The two just stood there looking at each other. Finally, Xinchun smiled slightly and said,

"Xiao'er, I suddenly feel hungry, you can get me something to eat!"

Xiao'er nodded and turned to leave. It's just that the moment she stepped out of the room, Xiao'er's face showed a trace of guilt.

It was getting late, Xinchun couldn't sleep from the bed tossing and turning, she was thinking about whether to do this, if she left, then Xiao'er's family would be implicated again. But if you don't leave in time, what will happen to your children? Himself and his children will eventually become hostages who threaten Baekhe-sub. She didn't want to see Bai Xixie's lonely and deep gaze again. The heart is pure and understands that the most painful thing from beginning to end is not himself, but Bai Xixi.

The heart is pure at the moment, and neither is it retreating. The night swallows up the last remnants of the sun. Xiao'er stood outside the door, and through the faint candlelight, she saw Xinchun lying on the bed, and her worry was palpable.

"Girl, if you can't make a choice, then let Xiao'er be selfish once, let Xiao'er make a choice for you!"

He whispered this to the heart in the room. Xiao'er pursed her lips and turned around and ran into the night with a tear in her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was still dawn, and Xinchun didn't know how many hours he had slept in a daze. I just feel my mouth is dry. I wanted to call Xiao'er, but I was afraid of disturbing her sleep. At this moment, there was no longer a little sleep, so Xinchun got up and got dressed, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

Pushing open Xiao'er's door, she saw that there was no one inside. Just when the heart was pure and strange, there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall.

"What are you doing here? Who allowed you to trespass into the rain hall late at night? ”

When Xinchun pushed the door out, he saw dozens of guards armed with swords surrounding the entire Linyu Palace. Although the crown princess is usually pure and does not ask about the world, she is a disliked character in the eyes of outsiders, but it does not mean that she will be bullied.

Seeing the crown princess go out to question, one of the guards stepped forward and gave a military salute to Xinchun, who recognized the guard in front of him, he was a commander of the harem Praetorian Guard, named Ke Fan.

"The subordinates have no intention of offending the crown princess, but the subordinates are acting on orders, and they hope that the princess will atone for their sins!"

"On orders? On whose orders? "I felt a little uneasy.

"Before the time, there was a theft in the Kunqing Palace of Concubine De, and the subordinates were arresting the prisoner on the order of Concubine De. I also hope that the crown princess will call out all the slaves and servants in your palace and let her subordinates check it. In this way, the little ones can go back to the errand. ”

Ke Fan's words really surprised Xinchun. Stealing in Concubine De's Kunqing Palace is no joke.

"Then dare to ask Commander Ke, what did Concubine De Niangniang lose?"

Xinchun suddenly asked.

"This ......"

That Ke Fan suddenly hesitated, and couldn't answer for a while.

"Why don't you know what you've lost, how do you find out?"

Faced with Xinchun's questioning, Ke Fan replied confidently,

"This doesn't bother the princess, the subordinates have their own methods, the princess just needs to call out the people in your house!"

Xinchun snorted softly and said,

"Hmph, is Commander Ke laughing at the coldness of this concubine in this palace, or is he deliberately making things difficult for this concubine?"

Ke Fan suddenly knelt on the ground and said,

"The crown princess is angry, and her subordinates don't know what the princess means."

"Commander Ke should know very well that there are only two people up and down my Linyu Palace, the concubine and the personal maid Xiao'er. You led people to surround my Linyu Hall in the middle of the night, and kept saying that you were looking for thieves, didn't you clearly regard Concubine Ben and Xiao'er as thieves? ”

"The subordinates don't have this intention, it's just a routine, and I hope the princess won't misinterpret the meaning of the subordinates! If the crown princess thinks that she and her personal maid are innocent, then call out your maid Xiao'er and ask for it. ”

Ke Fan's words were aggressive, and his heart was pure and he had no power to excuse himself. However, Xinchun also knows that at this moment, there is no Xiao'er in this Linyu Hall besides himself. I really don't know where that girl went at this time? Don't......

Thinking of this, Xinchun suddenly understood a little, and the worries in her heart became even heavier.

Seeing that Xinchun no longer spoke, Ke Fan continued to ask,

"Crown Princess, please call out your maid Xiao'er, otherwise, your subordinates will go in and call her out on your behalf!"

"You~!"

With a pure heart to stop him, Ke Fan ran into the house first, but at the moment when he was about to step into the door, a lazy voice came out of the house.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? It's all so deep, why are you standing outside? Ah, why are there so many people? ”

Xiao'er came out and saw the guards in the garden, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Xinchun saw Xiao'er coming out of her room, and she was very puzzled, just now she saw that Xiao'er's house was empty, when did she come back? Xinchun wanted to ask for an understanding, but at this moment, she was not allowed to question Xiao'er. Xinchun turned to Ke Fan and said sharply,

"Commander Ke, if you want to ask anything, just ask, this concubine is very sleepy!"

Seeing Xiao'er walk out of the house, Ke Fan frowned, but he had nothing to say, just replied, asked Xiao'er a few casual questions, and Ke Fan left the Linyu Hall with everyone.

After everyone leaves. Xiao'er greeted Xinchun and hurriedly turned around and walked towards her room. was stopped by Xinchun.

"Girl!"

Xiao'er uncharacteristically lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly into her innocent eyes. It's just that Xinchun didn't notice that Xiao'er's face was pale at this moment, and cold sweat kept oozing from the corners of her forehead.

After Ke Fan left the Linyu Palace with the people, he went straight to Concubine De's Kunqing Palace. It's just that he was very puzzled in his heart, he obviously saw that person was Xiao'er, and his subordinates stabbed her with a sword, why did that Xiao'er appear in the Linyu Hall as if she was fine, and it looked like she had just woken up. With curiosity in his heart, Ke Fan stepped into Kunqing Palace.
