Because of the identity of this princess, Murong Hui didn't have to go too early, so when she arrived at King Jing's mansion, there were already many people in the mansion.

These ladies and ladies gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, and they looked very lively.

Seeing Murong Hui walk in, everyone got up one after another and saluted Murong Hui.

"Get up, don't be polite."

Murong Hui hates such a scene very much, but in such a position, some socials have to come.

"Princess Linghui, please take a seat."

At this time, the county lord of King Jing's Mansion came over and said politely.

King Jing's Mansion is far less prominent than King Ling's Mansion, although the two mansions are prince's mansions, but King Jing died of illness a few years ago, and now the person who inherits the prince in the palace is only ten years old.

Most of the time, this palace is supported by Old Lady Jing and Princess Jing.

It's just that they are women after all, and they can't interfere in many court matters at all, which is also the reason why King Jing's Mansion can safely avoid many turmoil.

The county lord who led Murong Hui to the main hall was the county lord of Wanning, the concubine of King Jing's mansion, who was quiet and gentle, and was one of the few people in the study who had no quarrel with the world.

"I heard that the old lady is sick, but now she is better."

The two chatted as they walked.

Lord Wanning sighed lightly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said: "Grandmother is really sick this time, and today she said that she was holding a birthday banquet, but in fact, because her grandmother's condition has not improved, she specially held a birthday banquet to rejoice."

As they spoke, they had reached the door of the main hall.

"In that case, then I'll pay a visit to the old lady later."

Listening to her words, Murong Hui was not surprised, this was not wrong with what she thought.

After hearing this, the county lord of Wanning nodded hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Then I'll take you over to see grandmother later."

The two walked into the main hall as they spoke, Murong Hui found a place to sit down, and waited quietly for the banquet to begin.

Soon I saw Princess Jing come out and preside over the birthday banquet, and the old lady never came out from beginning to end.

Murong Hui saw that the time was almost up, so she urged the county lord of Wanning to take her to see the old lady.

Wan Ning said hello to the princess, and then walked out of the main hall with Murong Hui.

After the two went out, they rushed to the place where the old lady lived in a sedan chair.

"Is the place where the old lady lives far from the main hall?"

Murong Hui knew that although the palace was not as large as the palace, it occupied a lot of land.

Therefore, to go to some distant places, you need to make a sedan chair.

"After my father left, my grandmother was so grief-stricken that she moved to a side hospital, and she didn't like us to disturb her often."

Wan Ning, as the only child of Jingwangfu, is not immune, and it is easy not to see the old lady when she has nothing to do on weekdays.

This time it was also because the old lady was sick, and the relatives of the palace had to take turns to serve the sick, otherwise she would still not be able to see the old lady easily.

Murong Hui nodded, and then didn't ask any more questions.

The sedan chair walked for half an hour before finally arriving at the gate of the courtyard where the old lady lived.

Murong Hui got off the sedan chair, looked up and saw a plaque on the door of the courtyard, which said Jingsi Temple.

It can be seen that the old lady really doesn't like this person to disturb her.

Wan Ning led Murong Hui into the courtyard and went straight to the door of the main hall.

As soon as he walked into the main entrance, a strong smell of medicine rushed towards him, Murong Hui was unprepared, he was choked and stumbled, and he almost didn't fall.

Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mood and continued to walk inside with the county lord Wanning.

Look at the calm face of the county lord Wanning

Obviously, she has long been accustomed to this medicinal smell.

After the two walked into the bedroom, they saw that there were four people in the room to take care of them, and these people saw the county lord of Wanning walk in, and immediately saluted respectfully.

The county lord of Wanning immediately told them Murong Hui's identity.

These people gave Murong Hui a salute again, and their attitude was very respectful.

Murong Hui asked them to get up, and she walked to the old lady's bed.

The old lady was lying on the bed at this time, her eyes were closed and her breathing was still steady, if it weren't for her bad face, Murong Hui could really see if this concubine was sick or not.

The old lady seemed to be aware of Murong Hui's arrival, and after only sleeping for a while, she saw her open her eyes and look at Murong Hui.

Hui'er came to see you, do you feel better? ”

Murong Hui stood up and asked gently.

After the old lady saw Murong Hui, her face was disappointed, as if the person who came this time should not be Murong Hui.

"Is the queen busy today?" At first, Murong Hui thought that the old lady didn't like her, but now it seems that she clearly dislikes her background.

Murong Hui quickly thought of this, she adjusted her mood, and said with a smile: "I don't know if my aunt has been busy recently, she went south to Hengzhou a few days ago. ”

Seeing her expression, Murong Hui didn't bother to make a mistake.

When the old lady heard this, she quieted down, "You can sit down, you don't have to stand and talk." ”

Murong Hui listened to her words, so she sat on the stool next to the bed and looked at the old lady.

Although the concubine looked sickly, her expression was calm, and she couldn't see a trace of the fatigue of a person who had been sick for a long time.

"The emperor asked me to visit you, and now I see that your illness has improved somewhat."

Seeing that the old lady's spirit was limited, Murong Hui hurriedly said, she had to say everything that the old lady had to say before she got tired.

"Linghui, you don't look like your mother."

The old lady did not answer, but smiled indifferently and sighed.

Murong Hui couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect the old lady to say such a thing.

Because Lin Yingxin and Murong Jing are now taboos in the upper circles, I didn't expect the old lady to say it so indifferently.

"I have something I want you to help me with, and if you will help me, I will give you a gift."

The old lady didn't care about Murong Hui's reaction and continued.

"The ...... of the Princess"

As soon as she finished speaking, the grandmother, who was standing beside the bed without saying a word, suddenly looked at the old lady with a disapproving face.

"I'm running out of time." The old lady's expression was very calm, and after she finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper from under the pillow and handed it to Murong Hui.

Murong Hui looked dazed, but she still took the paper, looked at it carefully, and found that it was a portrait of a person.

There is also a person's name on the portrait, Chu Huaining.

Seeing this name, Murong Hui immediately thought that the old lady was also surnamed Chu, what is the connection between the two?

"This is your relative?"

Thinking so, she asked.

"He is my grandson, and I married him once before I married King Lao Jing. It's just that the first prime minister died early, and I married again, so I had to leave the son of the first prime minister in my parents' house. Huaining, this child has no parents since he was a child, and his identity in the Chu family is embarrassing, if I am not there one day......"

The old lady didn't say any more, but Murong Hui was very clear.

Isn't it the same for herself?

looks noble, but in fact, her identity in the palace is also so embarrassing.

She took a deep breath and asked, "How do you want me to help him?"

The old lady thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You."

Isn't there a shop, let him go there and be a manager, don't become a slave. ”

"In the future, if I can, I will send him to study."

This is for Murong Hui, who is difficult to protect, he has done his best.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, she thought about it for a long time before deciding to entrust the child to Murong Hui.

A quarter of an hour later, Murong Hui finally walked out of the old lady's bedroom, and there was a small box the size of a palm in her hand.

The contents of this small box were the gifts given to her by the old lady.

Murong Hui hadn't opened it, so he didn't know what was in it.

She handed the things to Mama Huang and asked her to put the small box on the carriage first.

She was helped by Qingyue to sit in a sedan chair and rushed towards the main hall.

By the time she returned to the main hall, the banquet was almost over, and she sat for a moment before the feast was over.

Murong Hui got up and said goodbye to Princess Jing, and walked leisurely towards the door.

"Princess Linghui, my mother-in-law's condition has worsened today, if she has any offense, please don't take it to heart."

As soon as Murong Hui walked out of the main hall, she saw Princess Jing chasing after her.

Listening to her words, Murong Hui nodded calmly and said politely: "The concubine is kind and kind, and there is no offense."

Princess Jing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and let go of the hand she had been clinging to.

Murong Huiquan didn't see her panicked expression, turned around and left.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Murong Hui fiddled with the small box in his hand, but still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and opened the box.

There was a special key lying quietly in the box, and even people like her, who had seen a lot, still hadn't figured out what kind of lock it was.

Murong Hui took out the key and looked at the decoration on it, like a horse, raising its four hooves and looking galloping.

The workmanship of this key is extremely exquisite, and it is on par with the level of the palace office.

She thought about it all the way, but she couldn't figure out the origin of the key, so she had to put the key back in the box, thinking that she would have time to hide it and check it, maybe she could find out something.

However, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Murong Hui still has not found out the origin of this key.

It's that these days, she has been busy with official duties and various schoolwork, so Murong Hui doesn't have much energy to pay attention to these things anymore.

After such a long time, Murong Hui couldn't help but feel a little tired, she lay lazily on the bed, and let Mama Zhang massage her.

"Mama Zhang, let's go to the imperial dining room to get some mutton later, let's learn how to make mutton pot today."

Rubbing his somewhat sore arm, Murong Hui spoke.

After hearing this, Mama Zhang hurriedly got up to help Murong Hui fold the quilt, and just as she was about to get up, her sleeve suddenly scratched the small box at the head of the bed.

The small box was scratched and fell to the ground, and the strangely shaped key also fell out of the box.

Smack......

The brass key slammed against the wooden floor with a crisp sound.

Murong Hui opened her eyes and looked towards Mama Zhang, and saw Mama Zhang staring at the key on the ground with a cold sweat on her face.

Her eyes widened and her whole body trembled, as if she had seen something terrible.

"Mama Zhang, do you recognize this key?"

Seeing her like this, a thought suddenly popped up in Murong Hui's heart, could this key be the concubine of the Xie Yi Palace?
