400 The whereabouts of the Nine Princes
Not only others say, Xiao Ting has always known that she is a heartless person who does not care about anyone.
She has always demanded herself according to her own principles.
Or maybe she's deliberately avoiding something.
More than ten years in her previous life have not changed her.
It turned out that after coming to this plane, he had only experienced a few years, and so many things had happened, and her mentality had already changed.
I also have nostalgia and nostalgia for the people and things here.
There are people you want to protect, you have things you want to do, and you have people who want to be together for the rest of your life.
The main thing is that she has real emotions.
She can't be like her master, ignoring all the emotions in the world.
But when she heard Qianyu say that when the Ninth Prince had an accident, Xiao Ting's mood was very urgent, but she controlled herself not to leak it.
Chu Yun was taken away by Cheng Yunyi.
Xiao Xin was under her nose again, and all this left her almost at the same time, I don't know what happened? It seemed that her world had suddenly become strange.
Xiao Ting finally got used to the world she was familiar with, and planned to live happily, but she didn't expect earth-shaking changes to take place.
Especially what kind of so-called young master did Xiao Xin become, the identity of the seventh aunt, and what role did his father play in it?
Xiao Ting didn't have time to sort it out at all, no, it should be said that she couldn't sort it out.
That's why when I see Concubine Xiao again, I will be so out of shape.
His tone was full of eagerness and uneasiness, and even his eyes changed.
However, when Xiao Guifei saw her like this, her eyes became more and more gentle.
Without saying a word, I watched her recount her experience.
Xiao Ting finally finished saying everything, and the beaten palace maid next to her had already handed over warm water, and after Xiao Ting drank it, she felt that something was wrong.
The way these two looked at her was really weird, just like a mother looking at her daughter.
Phew!
Xiao Ting hurriedly spit on herself in her heart, what was she thinking.
"Auntie, why do you keep staring at me?"
The little palace maid didn't ask, it's a shame.
"Auntie is watching, I promised you to the Nine Princes at the beginning, and I chose the right person."
Concubine Xiao Guifei looked at Xiao Ting with great satisfaction, and there was no longer the brilliance of the past in her eyes, but instead of a calm atmosphere.
With nine points of sincerity and one point of ridicule.
"Auntie, I'm talking to you about business, okay?"
Xiao Ting looked at Concubine Xiao with a little reproach.
I'm a little embarrassed.
"For us women, the biggest thing in this life is to be with her husband Jun Qin Se and Ming, my aunt is really happy for you when she sees you like this."
Xiao Guifei patted Xiao Ting's hand and said with relief.
"Auntie......" Xiao Ting felt extremely awkward, but her heart was warm.
"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you!"
Xiao Guifei put away her ridiculous words and said, "Actually, the Nine Princes have come to see me!" ”
"When?"
Xiao Ting didn't notice it herself, the eagerness and joy in her tone.
"Half a month ago."
Xiao Ting didn't interrupt Xiao Guifei again and listened to her.
In fact, after the Ninth Prince and Xiao Ting separated, the first thing he did when he came to the imperial city was to meet Concubine Xiao.
"Some people know that the Nine Princes have obtained the national seal, and they were invited to come this time, maybe there are other meanings."
Xiao Guifei's words were obvious.
The lords of the five countries and ten lands, including the empress dowager of the current empire, are afraid that they are all determined to obtain the national seal, but the nine princes have no intention of handing it over to her at all.
"It's a pity they're doomed to disappointment!"
In the huge Yaochi Palace, there are only two people at the moment, Xiao Guifei and the personal palace maids who are waiting by her side.
However, Xiao Guifei did not have any unhappiness, her words were brisk, revealing wisdom and shrewdness.
It turned out that when the Ninth Prince first entered the palace, he handed over the national seal to Concubine Xiao Guifei for safekeeping, and then he went to do other things.
As for Emperor Renxiao, he was also taken out of the palace by the Nine Princes with the help of Concubine Xiao Guifei.
"Is the emperor sick? It is rumored that he has been sick for nearly a year. ”
Xiao Ting asked, Emperor Renxiao said that he was sick and could not go to court for many days, but no one knew the real situation.
"He's not sick, he's just unconscious."
Xiao Guifei sighed, patted the back of Xiao Ting's hand, and said earnestly.
"If my guess is correct, they should have gone to Licheng."
What the?
If this is the case, Xiao Ting will really die of depression.
She rushed from Licheng to the imperial city, in order to see the ninth prince, but the ninth prince took the emperor to Licheng, such a mistake, it is really funny.
"Listen to him, there is a spiritual doctor over there who may be able to save the emperor's life, and he wants to give it a try."
This is what the Ninth Prince said casually to Concubine Xiao.
If there is no other way, the Nine Princes will let go of everything in the imperial city and save Emperor Renxiao first.
"That's right, they should be looking for Old Xu."
After getting a positive answer, Xiao Ting thought about it and got up to say goodbye.
"I'm going back, take care, I'll be back to see you soon."
"What's the urgency of you, kid? Since you came, stay well, didn't the Empress Dowager keep you in the palace for a few days? ”
The little concubine knew that her niece had always been in a hurry, and she didn't care about anything, so she had to explain it to her clearly.
"You should know that since the news that the national seal is in the hands of the Nine Princes has been spread, then everyone's eyes will be on him, and now that the Nine Princes have not been found, and they know that you have come to the Imperial City, then everyone's eyes will fall on you now, and if you leave them, they will leave with you."
I really want to refute it, but the truth is the same, and she has nothing to say.
"Then they see that I am not moving, maybe they will do something?"
She also wanted to die and struggle.
However, Xiao Ting also understood that it was impossible for her, a living person, to escape the sight of so many people and leave the imperial city.
"These people were all brought by the Empress Dowager, in this case, she left you in the palace, then you can eat, drink and have fun, let her deal with the rest!"
Xiao Ting thought about it, and now she had to do this.
"What about Xiao Shi and Xiao Yun?"
She was quite worried about these two children, so she couldn't leave them alone.
"Right now, the biggest chess game in the world is in the Imperial City, and those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods will naturally gather around, you don't have to worry about them, you will meet soon."
In the past few days, Xiao Ting has lived in the palace, and the Queen Mother has chosen a separate place for her to live, but Xiao Ting is not happy and has to live with Xiao Guifei.
In the beautiful name, I want to accompany my aunt more.
He also personally came to the door to get the Empress Dowager's handwritten edict, and went to the Tai Hospital to invite all the imperial doctors.
However, Xiao Guifei's body, these imperial doctors probably know, how many times have they been diagnosed and treated? It's still the same result.
The final result was naturally that Miss Xiao scolded all the imperial doctors, and then drove them out of Yaochi Palace.
"Auntie, I believe you in everything else, but your body ......"
In the past few days, Xiao Ting has borrowed a lot of palace people from the Empress Dowager, and the days of Yaochi Palace have shown signs of being more prosperous than before.
"Don't you still believe in your aunt? I know my own body, don't talk about it anymore. ”
At this moment, the two of them were eating at the dinner table.
Xiao Ting poked the dishes on the plate when she heard this, and was very depressed.
She always felt that her aunt was hiding something from her.
Not just her aunt, everyone seemed to have something to hide from her.
"Chu Li didn't tell me anything, and my aunt didn't tell me, even Xiao Shi has her own little secrets, you all think I'm stupid and don't tell me anything."
"Fool's ......"
Xiao Guifei didn't deny it, just patted her head.
In this way, Xiao Ting was even more depressed.
"No one dislikes you, and many times the less you know, the better it is for you."
"I naturally know that my aunt wants to say that the more she knows, the faster she will die."
Xiao Ting continued to poke at the plate.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her before, but now she felt very disturbed, everyone knew what things were like, but everyone hid it from her.
It is also called in the name of protection.
Well, well, there are so many Madonnas by her side.
Before the meal was finished, the Empress Dowager over there found someone to pass the word and let Xiao Ting come over.
Xiao's aunt and nephew glanced at each other.
"Auntie, you said that the Empress Dowager summoned me this time, what do you want me to do?"
"The envoys of the other four countries and ten places have already arrived, and they have held banquets in the palace for the past two days, and now they have summoned you, I am afraid that someone has become this bird."
Xiao Guifei got up and said while helping Xiao Ting straighten her collar and sleeves.
"Auntie means that they will force me to tell Chu Li's whereabouts?"
"Aren't they stupid, this is the imperial palace of the empire, and I am the ninth princess of the empire, so they are worthy of threatening me?"
I wanted to hear that those people were all fools, which made Xiao Guifei laugh.
"Yes, if they ask you, that's what you say."
Rao is Xiao Ting no longer understands the national situation, ignores state affairs, and knows that the empire is not the strongest among the five countries and ten regions, and she can't afford to say such things.
But my aunt's expression was not a joke.
"Well, let's go, don't tell everyone to wait."
The state banquet is held in the Wuji Hall.
When Xiao Ting entered the main hall, she saw that the black pressure was full of people.
She swept it roughly, most of them didn't know each other, and the eldest prince and the third prince of the empire and other princes actually gathered together.
This is unprecedented.
As far as Xiao Ting knows, except for the eldest prince who is in charge, I am afraid that no one can enter this state banquet.
She was a little puzzled by what the Empress Dowager meant, but she glanced around and didn't find this old woman.
"The Nine Princesses have arrived!"
Xiao Ting had only walked a few steps, and behind her was the sound of a male duck, which spread far away, almost cracking her eardrums.
At the same time, many eyes converged on her body, like wind blades, eager to cut through the skin on her body and look directly at the internal organs.
Xiao Ting is not a sensitive person, but at this moment, she deeply understands this feeling of being in the limelight.
Of course, her attention is not admired and worshipped, but Ling Chi.
"You are the Ninth Princess Xiao Ting?"
