The news that the ninth princess was robbed and killed in the Northern Desert finally reached the capital, and at the same time, the news of the civil strife in the Northern Desert also came back. I heard that the emperor was furious, and the court reprimanded all the civil and military officials.

However, none of this has anything to do with Xiao Xiwei.

The funeral of the old lady is not over, but the little master of Houfu has the news that he is infected with 'smallpox', and under the attack of the two, the new mother of Houfu, Zhou, can't hold on to 'fall ill'. Xiao Xiwei, as the concubine of the Houfu, has to take care of the old lady's funeral while ordering people to light wormwood everywhere in the Houfu to prevent others from contracting smallpox.

In the mourning hall.

Xiao Xi stood silently in front of the coffin, while Biyun knelt on the ground, constantly burning paper money into the brazier.

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken footsteps behind him.

"Wei'er. Yo, no, it should be called the princess now. Xiao Min smiled and blessed Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xi turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Min, and said with a faint expression, "Auntie is here." ”

"Yes! But I didn't have time to see my mother for the last time. Xiao Min looked at the old lady's coffin and sighed in a low voice.

"Grandmother knows my aunt's filial piety and won't blame my aunt." Xiao Xi said slightly.

Xiao Min nodded, while secretly looking at Xiao Xiwei's expression, he sighed, "What did you say happened to our Houfu recently, first my mother was gone, and then Ming'er was inexplicably infected with smallpox, and now Shumei is also sick......

Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Min, "What does my aunt want to say?" ”

Although Xiao Xiwei's expression was still flat when he said this, he still felt a little empty in Xiao Min's eyes.

Now her niece is not the concubine of the former Houfu, she is the concubine of King Yan, and now she is pregnant with royal blood. Although she and her husband Zhou Chengan both felt that Xiao Xirui and Zhou Shumei had contracted the disease a little strangely, she didn't dare to question her in front of Xiao Xiwei. In the final analysis, she is just a concubine married out of Houfu, and whether she lives well in Zhoufu depends on Houfu, and she can't offend Houfu because of such a little suspicion.

"No, I just think that our Houfu should not be infected with some bad luck, should we invite a senior monk to do a ritual to exorcise evil spirits." Xiao Min pulled the corners of his stiff mouth and said with a smile.

"Auntie, grandmother is not out of mourning yet." Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Min and said coldly,

Xiao Min was stunned, and when he saw that Xiao Xi's eyebrows were cold, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and slapped himself, "Look at my mouth, I really think of what to say, and I don't even have a door." ”

Xiao Xi glanced at Xiao Min and did not speak.

"I don't know what happened to Rui'er." Xiao Min looked at Xiao Xiwei and said cautiously.

Xiao Xirui has the blood of the Zhou Mansion in his body, and if he grows up in the future, he will also rely on the Zhou Mansion, so even if Xiao Min is a little jealous of Zhou Shumei, he can't help but want to find out about his whereabouts.

"Auntie, don't worry, my father took Rui'er to the village in the countryside, and sent a doctor to go with him, so it must be fine." Xiao Xi said slightly, after speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Min again, "Is there anything else Auntie wants to ask?" ”

Xiao Min was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand again and again, "No, no." ”

Xiao Xi glanced at Xiao Min slightly, then turned his face away and stopped talking.

Xiao Xi didn't answer slightly, and the atmosphere in the mourning hall became a little embarrassed for a while, Xiao Min was about to say something to break the embarrassment, when he saw a girl hurriedly walk in.

"Princess, someone has come to the palace."

It seems that the person in the Chongde Hall was already suspicious of the fact that the family team was robbed and killed in the Northern Desert, otherwise, when the Houfu might be infected with smallpox, he would have to announce that she would enter the palace.

When he arrived at the Chongde Palace, the emperor was sitting on the imperial chair, and there was a thick stack of folds on the desk in front of him. Xiao Xi leaned sideways and gave a palace salute to the emperor on the throne.

For a long time, there was no sound in the huge Chongde Hall.

Zhang Shichang was studying the ink, and at the same time raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xi lightly.

"Bastard thing!" With the emperor's loud shout, a bunch of twists and turns smashed towards Xiao Xiwei.

Pieces of paper were flying, Xiao Xiwei still maintained a sideways half-squatting posture, and there was no impatience on his face, but a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Get up." The emperor's deep eyes glanced at Xiao Xiwei, and finally spoke.

Xiao Xi got up slightly and stood below respectfully with his eyes down.

"You know about getting drunk." The Emperor spoke slowly.

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes darkened, and although his voice was light, he could vaguely hear a hint of sadness, "Yes, Erchen heard about it." ”

"These folds, half of them are to let me send troops to the Northern Desert to show my great national prestige, and half of them are to persuade me to calm my anger and turn war into jade silk, in your opinion, what should I do?" The emperor stared at Xiao Xi with his eyes wide open.

"The son is stupid." Xiao Xi hurriedly knelt down.

"Who in this capital doesn't know that Princess Yan is witty, where does this stupid word come from." The emperor got up and stared at Xiao Xi condescendingly.

"Erchen doesn't dare." Xiao Xi bowed down slightly, his body trembling slightly.

Looking at Xiao Xiwei lying on the ground, a cold murderous aura flashed in the emperor's eyes.

He knew that the woman in front of him was definitely not as pitiful as she seemed on the surface. Regardless of the robbery and killing of Heqin's team or the civil strife in the Northern Desert, he intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with the woman in front of him, but under her nose, how could she reach out to the Northern Desert? Could it be a pity......

Thinking of this, an inexplicable chill suddenly crossed the emperor's heart.

It seems that whether it is Xiao Xiwei in front of him or Chu Xizhi in Suyang, they have never been in his hands.

"I heard that someone in the Zhongyong Houfu had smallpox." The emperor looked at Xiao Xi coldly and said slightly.

"Back to my father's words, it was Rui'er who had smallpox, but fortunately he found it early, and his father ordered someone to send him to the village in the countryside, and invited a doctor to go with him. Xiao Xi replied with a slight bow.

"You have a big belly, just in case, you still don't want to live in Houfu. It's a pity that you're not there, and no one will take care of you, so it's better to move to the palace. The emperor looked at Xiao Xiwei and slowly spoke.

On his back, a fine layer of cold sweat broke out.

Is he going to confine her in the palace and keep her under his nose to watch?

It seems that he has suspected that the matter of the Northern Desert is related to regret.

"The mother concubine has also recently mentioned letting her sons enter the palace to take care of her, but now that my grandmother is gone, the waiting house is in a mess. Although Erchen is married, in the end, he is the daughter of Houfu, and his grandmother has the grace of nurturing Erchen, so she can't bear to let go of Houfu, so ......" mentioned the old lady, Xiao Xi's eyes turned red slightly.

As soon as he heard Xiao Xiwei's words, the emperor's lips suddenly hooked, and a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Shichang next to him saw that something was wrong, and said to Xiao Xi with a smile, "Forgive the old slave, although you are a filial piety, princess, your current identity is unusual, and you have royal blood in your belly. I heard that the concubine Niangniang has sent someone to the Houfu to help take care of it, and the princess should be able to put her mind at ease. ”

"......"

"Princess, the old lady has a spirit in the sky, and she will also understand your difficulties." Zhang Shichang interrupted Xiao Xiwei with a smile.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhang Shichang, and then bowed down again, "Son-in-law Xie Father Emperor is compassionate."

"Princess, it's cold on the ground, you better get up and talk." Zhang Shichang said and stepped forward to help Xiao Xiwei up.

"Xiao Changzi, send someone to clean up the Yongfu Palace." The emperor looked at Zhang Shichang and said.

The meaning of these words is to let Xiao Xiwei live in Yongchun Palace.

Yongchun Palace is the most remote palace in the West Sixth Palace, and it is the farthest away from the Yikun Palace in the East Sixth Palace of Yan Guifei, does this mean that Yan Guifei can't take care of her.

"The minions obey." Zhang Shichang hurriedly retreated.

"The minister also retired." Xiao Xiwei followed the emperor to bless his body, and then withdrew from the Chongde Palace.

Outside the hall, Ziyan and Biyun had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw Xiao Xiwei coming out, the two hurriedly greeted them.

"Princess, how's it going?"

Xiao Xi looked at the scorching tomorrow above his head with his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile, "It's nothing, the emperor asked me to move to the palace to live." ”

"What!" Ziyan was taken aback, she glanced around, and was sure that no one was eavesdropping around, so she said to Xiao Xiwei, "Princess, this is nothing!" The emperor is obviously trying to keep you under his nose and watch you! ”

In the past, although the emperor also sent someone to spy on the princess, those secret guards couldn't reach out to the Yan Wangfu no matter what, but the palace was very different.

"Miss, what should we do then!" Biyun was in a hurry.

Xiao Xi smiled, "If you come, you will be safe, don't worry, he won't do anything to me." ”

At least in the current situation is unclear, he will not do anything to her, because, if necessary, she is still a good chess piece that can be used to contain Xizhi!

"Princess, ...... over there" Ziyan suddenly remembered another thing.

Xiao Xi frowned slightly, "Qian Xiao is not a person who can sit still, King Qin's side has all been arranged." ”

Ziyan nodded, "Princess, don't worry. ”

Qian Xiao can't stay any longer, although he can't do great evil, but he can't live in this world anymore just because he intends to murder her grandfather and father.

"Also, there is news from the prince's side, saying that King Shen has quietly left the northwest." Purple smoke suddenly attached to Xiao Xiwei's ear and whispered.

Xiao Xi's eyes sank suddenly.

Chu Yanzhi actually avoided the eyeliner buried by regret.

Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly, raised his hand and slowly stroked his bulging lower abdomen, and the corners of his lips slowly raised a shallow arc.

Don't be afraid, child, I will definitely protect you in this life.

No matter what awaits us in front of us, don't worry, because your father has been waiting for us to come home.
