On the day of the old lady's funeral, the mourning music of the Houfu shook the sky, and the white paper in the sky was fluttering, like a heavy snowfall.

Xiao Xi, who was dressed in plain clothes, looked at the old lady's coffin slightly, and tears fell silently.

Girl, Hui Ji will be hurt, don't go too far in everything, always leave some room for yourself.

Girl, how can you not hurt when there is so much blood?

……

In her ears, the old lady's voice of pity seemed to still ring in her ears, but she knew that in the future, the grandmother who was strict and cherished her would never say these words to her again.

After returning from the funeral, Xiao Xiwei and his party returned to Houfu.

As soon as she walked to the door, a grandmother who came with Xiao Xiwei stopped Xiao Xiwei who wanted to enter the waiting house, "Princess, it's not too early now." The old lady has also been buried, you see, should you go back to the palace with the slave maid. ”

Hearing what the old lady said, Xiao Yan hurriedly said to Xiao Xi, "Since the grandmother said so, then the princess will go back to the palace first." ”

"Father, grandfather, that ......"

"Don't worry, princess, Weichen will comfort your father for you."

Xiao Xi nodded slightly.

She also knew that the emperor had a lot of speculations about her at the moment, and he even wanted to use her to contain her, so it was impossible to let her stay outside the palace too much.

Xiao Xi turned around slightly, holding Ziyan's hand and was about to get into the carriage and leave the Xiao Mansion, at this time, a mother-in-law suddenly walked up to Xiao Yan and saluted, and said, "Lord Xiao, since the princess is leaving, then our young lady will not bother you." ”

Listening to the mother-in-law's words, Xiao Yan frowned, his eyebrows were full of indescribable disgust and disgust, he waved his hand again and again, "Let's go, don't come back in the future." With that, he left without looking back.

Since the death of the old lady, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital have come to the door one after another to offer condolences, but Xiao Xichun, who is the granddaughter of the old lady, has never come. Xiao Yan originally suppressed her anger at Xiao Xichun, but because the old lady's funeral had not happened, now, the old lady had just been buried, and she was about to leave without even entering the house, no wonder Xiao Yan's face was so ugly.

The mother-in-law was reprimanded by Xiao Yan like this, but she seemed to be fine, turned around and opened the carriage to leave.

Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Xichun in front of her, wearing a white collared skirt, compared to the time she saw her in the Lu Guogong Mansion, her whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, her chin was pointed, her big watery eyes were sunken, her eyes were numb and desolate, and her lips were not even bloody.

"Princess." Seeing Xiao Xiwei standing still, the grandmother couldn't help shouting.

"Young lady, let's go." In that compartment, the mother-in-law also grabbed Xiao Xichun's hand, and half-dragged Xiao Xichun to the carriage of the Luguo Mansion.

Xiao Xi slightly lowered his eyes, "Wait a minute." ”

The mother-in-law was stunned, and saw that the person who spoke was Xiao Xiwei, and she was busy with her blessings, "Princess, do you have any other instructions?" ”

"Chun'er, are you okay?" Xiao Xiwei didn't look at the mother-in-law, walked straight to Xiao Xichun, and raised her hand to help the little white flower on the sideburns hairpin.

Xiao Xichun looked at Xiao Xiwei and shook his head indifferently.

"Princess, don't worry, there are slaves and maids to take care of the young lady." The mother-in-law next to her replied with a smile.

Xiao Xi glanced at the woman with a slight slant and snorted coldly.

"Look at what this mother said, this is how you Lu Guogong Mansion takes care of people, and takes care of people like skin!" Biyun looked at the woman and sneered.

The smile on the woman's face froze, and her face became ugly, "How does this girl speak, my young lady has just had a bad appetite recently......"

"Bad appetite? How is it possible, the fourth lady had a good appetite when she was a young lady in our Houfu, she loves to eat everything, she is never picky, and her complexion is as ruddy as a peach blossom in March. Princess, you say yes. Biyun looked at Xiao Xi with a smile and said slightly.

Listening to Biyun's words, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Xi's slightly cold face.

Her current identity does not allow her to open her mouth to refute the words of a mother-in-law, not to mention, she is still accompanied by someone sent by the emperor. But Biyun didn't have to scruple so much, and after a few words, the woman's face turned blue and purple.

"Girl, you really wronged the slave, it used to be true that our young lady had a good appetite, but now it's different when she is pregnant." The woman hurriedly argued.

"Are you pregnant?" Xiao Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and his voice couldn't help but raise a little.

In an instant, the blood on Xiao Xichun's face disappeared, and the whole person was shaky.

"Chun'er." Xiao Xiwei hurriedly reached out to help Xiao Xichun, but she was now five months pregnant, and her mobility was a little inconvenient, so she didn't support her in this panic, but fortunately, the purple smoke next to her was quick and hugged Xiao Xichun. "Chun'er, what's going on? How did you get pregnant? It's Lu Haiyang, isn't he ......?"

"Second sister, don't talk about it...... I beg you to stop talking......" Xiao Xichun's tears fell, and he looked at Xiao Xiwei's eyes full of despair and desolation.

Xiao Xiwei almost lost his breath when he heard it, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and spit out two words, "Beast!" ”

Lu Haiyang, this brute, he dared to insult Xichun like this, Chun'er will only be able to meet next autumn! At the beginning, it was clear that he was happy, but he actually ...... It's all because she was too sure at the beginning, she thought that Lu Haiyang married Xiao Xichun to demonstrate to her, and secondly, to use Xichun to envelop Xiang Mingxuan, who would have thought that he would attack Xichun. Xichun, she's just a child......

"Princess, how can you say that about my young master. Anyway, the young master and the young lady of my family have also paid homage to the church......" The mother-in-law next to Xiao Xichun retorted a little unhappily.

Xiao Xi took a deep breath slightly, and his eyes swept towards the woman like electricity.

was swept away by Xiao Xi's slightly sharp gaze, and the mother-in-law hurriedly shut up.

"Princess, it's not too early, it's time for you to go back to the palace." The grandmother who traveled with Xiao Xiwei said coldly.

"Second sister......" Xiao Xichun looked at Xiao Xiwei with tears in his eyes.

Xiao Xi took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "Mama Xiao?" Why didn't you see her today? ”

"Mama Xiao......"

"Mama Xiao, she's not feeling well." The mother-in-law next to her quickly cut off Xiao Xiwei's words.

Xiao Xi's face turned cold, and he raised his hand and swept towards the woman with an ear scraper.

This ear scraper, Xiao Xiwei used all his strength, and with one palm, his palm was hot and numb, and half of the woman's face was swollen.

"Princess, what are you doing!" The grandmother who traveled with Xiao Xiwei frowned.

Doing it to a subordinate is definitely not a princess's proper move.

"What, is this going to teach me a lesson?" Xiao Xi looked at the grandmother coldly.

That grandmother is the head of the Chongde Palace, on weekdays in the palace, even the concubines of the harem are also polite to her, and she has never looked at her face like this, and her face sank a little at the moment, "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are just mentioning the princess." ”

Xiao Xiwei didn't look at her, and directly set her eyes on Biyun, "You send someone to invite a doctor to go to the Luguo Mansion, just say that I mean it." ”

"Yes." Biyunfu responded.

"Chun'er, this ...... Xiao Xi opened her lips slightly, her eyes moved from Xiao Xichun's flat lower abdomen to her face, she raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Xichun's cheek, pulled up a smile vigorously, and said to Xiao Xichun, "Take care of your body, everything has a sister, don't be afraid." ”

She originally wanted to say that this child couldn't stay, but at this time, in front of these people, she couldn't say this.

"Sister......

"Princess." The grandmother next to her shouted Xiao Xi again in displeasure.

Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Xichun and smiled, then took Ziyan's hand and calmly stepped over Xiao Xichun, and then got into the carriage back to the palace.

The horse's hooves made a clattering sound on the bluestone slab, Xiao Xi looked at the shaking curtain silently, and his anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Xichun must not want this child, but Lu Guogong has now pressed the treasure on Chu Yanzhi's body, so he naturally relies on Lu Haiyang, the concubine, so he will definitely not allow Xichun to kill this child. But Xichun is still so young, and pregnancy and childbirth are too risky for her. No, she can't let Xichun give birth to this child.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiwei's hand on his lap unconsciously tightened the skirt on his body.

The problem is that she is now trapped in the deep palace, and there is no way to meddle in the affairs of the Lu State Mansion. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Lu Guogong has already placed many people by Xichun's side, otherwise, Xichun would not have waited until the old lady's funeral to come out today. How is she going to do it?

Lu Haichuan.

Xiao Xiwei's face flashed in his mind.

It's just, will Lu Haichuan help her?

With the news of going to Lu Guogong's Mansion to see Mama Xiao, the person sent by Xiao Xiwei revealed her request to Lu Haichuan, and although Lu Haichuan was embarrassed, he did not refuse.

It's just that after waiting for a few days, there was no news from Lu Haichuan's side.

Just when Xiao Xiwei was waiting a little anxiously, Bi Yungo hurriedly walked in,

"Princess, King Shen has returned to the palace."

Xiao Xi's eyebrows skipped a beat, and the teacup in his hand almost fell.

How could it be so fast.

Could it be that he avoided this ambush along the way?

"When?" Xiao Xi said slightly.

Biyun glanced around, and finally said in a calm voice, "The slave maid also heard it when she went to the imperial dining room to get snacks for the princess. ”

In fact, it was Concubine Yan who specially sent the palace maid to deliver the news to her. It's just that now Yongchun Palace is full of the emperor's eyeliner, and there are some things she can't say.

Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Seeing that Xiao Xiwei didn't speak, Biyun and Ziyan glanced at each other and couldn't speak.

Suddenly, a shrill voice rose up, breaking the silence of the room.

"King Shen has arrived."

Biyun's face suddenly became extremely ugly, she hurriedly took a step closer to Xiao Xiwei, and shouted anxiously, "Princess." ”

At this time, Xiao Xiwei had calmed down. She put the teacup in her hand back on the table, and then stood up with Biyun's hand.

At the door, Chu Yanzhi walked towards Xiao Xiwei in a brocade dress with a crescent moon white embroidered auspicious cloud dark pattern, his sharp sword eyebrows, slender eyes, and the warm aura that emanated from his body before all faded, replaced by a forbearant sharpness and majesty.

Such a Chu Yanzhi vaguely coincided with the emperor who stood outside the Fengyi Hall in Xiao Xiwei's memory and looked at her indifferently in the fire.

Chu Yanzhi.

"I'm back." Chu Yanzhi walked up to Xiao Xiwei, the corners of his thin lips moved slightly, and he slowly spit out four words.
