Xiao Ting also understood Chu Jiyao's sudden anger.

"I will naturally admit what I have said, as for lying to you, I have never intended to deceive you, and if I deceive you in this matter, then I will even deceive myself."

"You know I've never been good at dealing with this kind of thing, Chu Jiyao, I once made it very clear to you, I thought we could be good friends with each other, or never see each other!"

That's right, although Xiao Ting has no heart or lungs, she also knows what things should be decided, what things can't be delayed, in terms of the relationship with Chu Jiyao, she has never been moved by him, and she is very decisive.

But no matter what, Xiao Ting didn't want to hurt anyone.

What's more, it was Chu Jiyao, who once saved her life.

She must not care about anyone's emotions, but for Chu Jiyao, she can't be indifferent.

No matter what time it was, Xiao Ting still remembered the assassination that happened outside the palace in broad daylight that day.

At that time, they could not be killed at all, they were not normal people, but living dead people who had been magically cast.

Everyone thought they were going to the palace, but in the end their target was Xiao Qing, if Chu Jiyao hadn't saved her by risking herself, Xiao Ting wouldn't know which time and space she was in now.

Another time, after Xiao Ting left from Yinyi Village with Ergouzi, she was tied up because of her playfulness, and it was Chu Jiyao who let her go and took her back to the imperial city.

And also......

And so much more......

Sometimes he didn't dare to think about it, but Xiao Ting knew that she owed him.

But she didn't want to accept any of this.

To prevent herself from owing him more and more, Xiao Ting didn't tell Chu Jiyao when she chose to leave.

"Never again, when Uncle Jiuwang took you to Licheng, do you think we will see each other again in this life?"

"Have you ever thought about me, why didn't you say goodbye?"

After saying this, Chu Jiyao secretly laughed to himself, he never said anything serious to Xiao Ting.

It's obviously her fault, but in the end, she became more and more cautious, and she could never be angry with her.

Xiao Ting didn't see it that way.

Sometimes affection is ruthlessness, and ruthlessness is more distressing.

"You're married!"

There was no sound in the hall for a long time, and Xiao Ting only said this fact in the end.

"Heh......"

Xiao Ting didn't know how to comfort him, after all, it had been so long, she had already finished what she should have said, there was no need to repeat it to him again, sometimes ruthlessness was really useful.

If there is no hope for him, there will be no despair.

"Now that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and the empire is being eyed by the other four countries and ten places, the eldest prince should cheer up and deal with them!"

Chu Jiyao didn't speak, and watched his most beloved woman gradually disappear from his sight, and that back was very resolute and resolute.

"When did you start to care about national affairs......

He muttered to himself, while laughing at himself in his heart.

He worked so hard and did so much, but he still can't get it back.

In the past, Xiao Ting would talk and laugh with him, when he was a friend, but now she seems to have opened her mind and knows the great defense of men and women, and she is not even willing to sit with him for a while.

She only has Uncle Jiuwang in her heart.

In fact, looking at Chu Jiyao, who was lost and depressed, Xiao Ting's heart was moved.

But she didn't know how to appease him, he married a concubine and had his own family.

In any case, it is not her turn as an outsider to comfort him, not to mention that Xiao Ting has never been the one who can comfort people.

Xiao Ting left the Taiji Hall and prepared to return to Yaochi Palace, after all, she had been living with her aunt for the past few days.

Before he had taken two steps, he was stopped by a familiar officer.

The queen wants to see her?

After Xiao Ting confirmed that she had heard correctly, she confirmed it again and received a positive answer, so she followed him slowly.

Today's queen is also the lord of Qiyue County, who used to be Rui Wang's Mansion.

Even if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the current dynasty are there, the Middle Palace is still the head of the six palaces.

As long as Emperor Renxiao does not die for a day, the queen is still the queen.

"I've seen the Queen Mother!"

There were many things that Xiao Ting didn't know, but it didn't hinder her imagination.

This new queen is full of malice towards the Nine Princes' Mansion, especially the Nine Princes.

So repeatedly framed.

"The Nine Princesses are here, sit down!"

But Xiao Ting was just a false courtesy, and when she heard this, she found a place to sit down, and she was not polite.

I haven't seen the queen for a long time, and she is really becoming more and more dignified, Xiao Ting still remembers the first time she saw the lord of Zhuyue, when she and Zhaohua were upstairs, and Zhuyue sat in a sedan chair downstairs, smiling at the people close to her, but in fact, there was wanton and disdain in that smile, and she was a woman who ignored the world.

Later, I heard that the queen mother liked this woman very much, and I was afraid that she would give her to a certain prince.

But I didn't expect that she would eventually become the master of the middle palace and the emperor's woman.

Many things are now thought about and she has designed them step by step.

"The Ninth Princess doesn't want to know, why did the palace call you?"

Xiao Ting raised her eyebrows and spread her hands, "You always have to say it, don't you?" I have a lot of time anyway. ”

"Such a transparent woman is indeed rare in this world, no wonder Chu Li takes care of you wholeheartedly, and the prince also misses you."

The queen's praise for her, Xiao Ting accepted them one by one, but did not respond.

"Actually, you should know, I want to ask you something."

The queen, dressed in simple plain clothes, slowly came down the steps, came to Xiao Ting, personally poured a cup of tea for her, and said with a light smile.

Xiao Ting is not stupid, so she naturally knows what she means.

She touched the teacup next to her, but she didn't mean to pick it up.

"Except for the whereabouts of the prince, I must know everything else."

The queen looked at her fixedly for a long time, then flicked her sleeves, turned to leave, and said slowly.

"It seems that you don't want to leave the palace."

Xiao Ting's eyebrows narrowed slightly.

Listening to the queen's meaning, she actually knew the way out of the palace.

"It's not that I don't want to, the Empress Dowager left me in the palace for a few more days, but also to save my life, I can't be grateful, how can I go out at this time to kill myself?"

"This palace thinks that the ninth princess is a very transparent person, but now it seems that this palace is thinking about it, you can go!"

If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally be curious about the meaning of the queen's words, but he was wrong about Xiao Ting, Miss Xiao Liu was naturally very happy to hear her say this, patted the dust that did not exist on her body, and then made a false salute, and then strode away without looking back.

Xiao Ting didn't want to care about the thoughts of these nobles in the palace at all, and she didn't have the ability to analyze them, anyway, she only did a little bit and listened to her aunt's words.

There were too many things happening today, Xiao Ting didn't know what to do for a while, she just wanted to go back to Dao Yaochi Palace to discuss with her aunt, but she didn't expect that the people who stopped her were wave after wave, and the queen just invited the queen mother to stop her again.

But it's impossible not to go.

Xiao Ting waved her hand, and there was no embarrassment for the internal officials who came to pass the message, and asked him to lead the way.

This time, Xiao Ting was not polite, and she had no intention of continuing to be shabby with her, and after coming up directly to meet the salute, she blinked her black and white eyes.

"Queen Mother, do you want to ask me about the whereabouts of the prince?"

Xiao Ting said directly, which made the Queen Mother a little stunned.

She naturally knew what happened at today's banquet, and wanted to get closer to Xiao Ting or say something else.

Maybe she will tell herself, after all, no matter what, the Nine Princes were also brought up by her.

"Then would you like to tell Hongu?"

Xiao Ting pouted secretly, the ghost was willing to tell you, but she still said obediently.

"If I knew, I would definitely be willing to tell the Queen Mother, but the prince and I have long been separated, this time I still received the queen mother's decree, I rushed to the imperial city, and I have never seen the prince......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ting's expression was a little lonely and worried, "I still want to ask the Queen Mother, have you seen the prince recently?" How is he? Are there any injuries? ”

"So many people outside are looking for the prince, they want the national seal of our empire, the prince must have hidden the national seal, don't worry, I just know the whereabouts of the prince, and I won't tell the bad guys!"

It is no secret that the ninth prince got the national seal, and Xiao Ting is now pretending to be deaf and dumb, so it is a bit too much, so she simply admits it directly.

But these words were a little harsh in the ears of the Queen Mother.

Especially the last sentence, what does it mean that she won't tell the bad guy even if she knows, is she also a bad guy in her eyes?

"I also heard that I have seen Xiao Jiu, but there has been no whereabouts for him, I still think that if you know, you should tell this palace quickly, and this palace will send someone to protect him."

Faced with the Queen Mother's pretended concern, Xiao Ting was very contemptuous.

Protection?

Why does this sound so ironic?

Xiao Ting has always known that all the worries of the Nine Princes in the imperial city are only Emperor Renxiao, and only the emperor loves him sincerely.

There is a lot of age difference between the two, and Emperor Renxiao has always cared for this ninth brother, otherwise he would not let him stay in the imperial city.

He would not hand over such an important secret map to the Nine Princes to check, and ordered him to bring it back to the national seal.

After that, the two of them exchanged a few more words, Xiao Ting couldn't get to the point, and the queen mother also annoyed her, so she finally waved her hand, just saying that she was a little sleepy and asked her to leave.

Finally sent Xiao Ting away, the queen mother rubbed her forehead, and said in her heart, fortunately, this girl was married to the Nine Princes' Mansion, and she was far away in Licheng in the future, not a woman in the palace, otherwise she would not have to be annoyed to death.

Xiao Ting was sent out, and walked forward slowly all the way, a little aimlessly, and said in her heart, should there be a third wave?

So when she saw the familiar figure that appeared at the end of the path, her eyes widened directly.

"I'll go, it won't be so godly, just my luck can go and buy lottery tickets!"

That's right, the person who came was the person next to the Queen Mother.

"Nine Princesses, ...... Emperor"

"The Empress Dowager misses me, doesn't she? Let's go! ”

Xiao Ting held the idea of dying early and surviving early, and signaled the people in front of her to lead the way quickly.

It's just that it's different from what Xiao Ting imagined, the Empress Dowager is indeed sick, and the illness is not light, and the spit of the imperial doctors is almost drowning the entire palace.
