Palace. Fengqi Palace.

Bingzhu hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, the queen was pruning the newly delivered potted plants with a pair of scissors at this time, and when she came in in a hurry, her brows furrowed, and she said angrily, "Bingzhu, you are walking more and more unsteadily now." ”

Bingzhu saw that the queen was still not in a hurry, and said anxiously, "Niangniang, something happened!" ”

The queen's hand holding the scissors paused slightly, and then continued to prune the branches carelessly, and asked lightly, "Is there something going on with Concubine Yi again?" The queen put away the scissors, frowned and asked, "Could it be that Concubine Yi is pregnant?" ”

Bingzhu said with a sigh, "Niang Niang Yi Concubine is not afraid at all, just now it was rumored outside, Changning saw the emperor and said that he had forgiven Concubine Xiao Shufei and asked the emperor to release Concubine Xiao Shufei!" ”

The queen paused, saw the table put on the table, looked at Bingzhu deeply, frowned, and said, "Are you sure you heard it right?" ”

Bingzhu nodded and said, "The slave has already inquired clearly, and the emperor has even come down now!" I'm going to the cold palace to announce the decree! On the other hand, he said with joy, "But the emperor doesn't seem to want Concubine Xiao Shu to restore her original title, but let her claim to be Yun Concubine and move to Chuxiu Palace." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "What do you say this Changning is doing, why do you suddenly want to release this Concubine Xiao Shu?" ”

"The slave maid doesn't know, but I just heard the palace maid next to the princess say that the county lord of Changning and the princess met Sima Jiao on the way to the Tai Hospital, the eighth princess's face didn't seem to be very good, and I don't know what she said to the county lord of Changning, the county lord of Changning had a bad face at that time, and then the county lord of Changning and the eighth princess chatted alone for a while before going to the Tai Hospital."

The queen frowned, picked up the scissors again and began to prune the flower branches, "You go and inquire, what did the two of them talk about." ”

Bingzhu saw that the queen was not in a hurry, and asked hurriedly, "Niangniang, aren't you afraid of the county lord of Changning..."

"Don't be afraid." The queen glanced at Bingzhu, and the corners of her mouth showed a shallow arc, "Changning is also our savior anyway, and with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, Concubine Xiao Shu will be released one day sooner or later, instead of passively releasing Xiao Yunshu in the future, it is better to release her now, give her a concubine seat, and let her also experience the warmth and coldness of human affection." ”

Bingzhu nodded in response and said, "But this eighth princess seems to have left the palace with the county lord of Changning, and she didn't bring a palace maid with her." ”

The queen's eyes narrowed, "At that time, the two of them were talking, and there were no outsiders present?" ”

"There is no one..."Bingzhu suddenly said, "I heard those palace maids present at the time, when the eighth princess appeared, she said to the county lord of Changning gloomily, I heard every word you and Sima Ningrou said." Later, the county lord of Changning agreed to talk to her alone. ”

The queen waved her hand when she heard the voice, "That's it, you go and find Ning Rou and ask Ning Rou if you know what Sima Jiao and Changning talked about." ”

…

Qin Changning took Sima Jiao back to the Jin Palace, when the eldest princess saw Sima Jiao, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Qin Changning, wanting her to give an explanation, Sima Jiao saluted the eldest princess and the king of Jin with the eldest princess's strange gaze, "Sima Jiao has seen aunt and uncle. ”

The eldest princess said get up, and told Zicen to prepare the guest room, Sima Jiao said, "Sister Changning asked me to come to the Jin Palace, so my aunt doesn't need to prepare a guest room for Jiao'er, Jiao'er can stay in Changning's sister's Chang'an Xuan at night." After speaking, he looked at Qin Changning.

Qin Changning smiled slightly in his heart, nodded to the eldest princess, and said softly, "Mother concubine, what the Eighth Emperor Sister said is true." ”

Sima Jiao didn't expect Qin Changning to cooperate with her, she glanced at Qin Changning in surprise, but Qin Changning didn't look at her, but asked Zi Su to take her to Chang Anxuan first, Sima Jiao also knew to give gifts to King Jin and the eldest princess to retire.

As soon as Sima Jiao left, the eldest princess hurriedly pulled Qin Changning and asked her what she was doing, Qin Changning looked at the anxious eldest princess and King Jin, and smiled slightly, "Mother, father, I promised Sima Jiao to let the emperor's uncle let Concubine Xiao Shu out, on the condition that Sima Jiao leave the palace." ”

The eldest princess looked puzzled, "Why?" Don't you want to help the prince? If Concubine Xiao Shu comes out, it won't be the forces of the three parties..."

When Qin Changning heard the eldest princess say this, he frowned and said, "Mother, when did Ning'er say that she was going to help the prince?" ”

Even if she did this today, it wasn't for the prince...

When King Jin heard Qin Changning say this, he hurriedly asked, "Then who are you going to help?" ”

Everything she did before was obviously helping the prince, why isn't she helping the prince now?

Qin Changning knew that the eldest princess and the king of Jin must have misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Father, princess, and concubine, I will tell you now, why did I bring Sima Jiao to our Jin Palace, and what was the opportunity." ”

Qin Changning told the prince about it, the eldest princess looked at Qin Changning in disbelief, glanced at Zicen who was standing aside with her head down, and asked softly, "What you said is true?" The prince has become so murderous? "If the crown prince really becomes such a joyful and impermanent person, maybe that position will really be farther and farther away from him!

Qin Changning nodded, "But I think there must be something strange in this, I want to check it, I don't want Sima Jiao to disrupt my plan." ”

If Sima Jiao made this matter known to everyone, then she would definitely not be able to figure out the person behind the so-called Luo girl!

She was sure that the change in the crown prince was related to his lady Luo, but there was no evidence for this matter, and it needed to be investigated slowly... As for Sima Jiao...

…

When Qin Changning returned to Chang'an Xuan, Sima Jiao was sitting on the soft stall on the first floor eating fruit, while looking at Qin Miao lying on the bed, and asked, "I heard that you were injured to block the sword for my aunt?" ”

Qin Miao nodded and didn't speak, Sima Jiao frowned and asked, "For what?" Just so that my aunt will keep you on her knees and be half a concubine? ”

Before Qin Miao could speak, Qin Changning stepped in, and she said in a deep voice, "Eighth Emperor Sister, I really don't think I allowed you to enter this inner room, right?" ”

Sima Jiao pursed her lips and stood up, walked to Qin Changning's side and stood, and asked in a deep voice, "Where do I live?" ”

Qin Changning glanced at Sima Jiao and said in a deep voice, "Chang Anxuan's West Cross Courtyard, I asked people to clean it up, the Eighth Emperor Sister has been living in the West Cross Courtyard for the past few days, I found a place, and I will send the Eighth Emperor Sister out immediately." ”

Sima Jiao raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Changning, then walked outside.
