The Queen Mother suppressed anger on her face and went back to the outer room.

Ah Xiu was still eating there, very well-behaved, he should have listened to the persuasion, and he was desperately eating to keep the child in his belly.

The Queen Mother sat back on the chaise longue and looked at Ah Xiu, her face was gloomy and uncertain.

She is the grandmother of the third prince and the great-grandmother of the child in Ah Xiu's womb. She roughly knows the temperament of the third prince, if she says that he will harm the prince, he doesn't have that heart, and he can't be so ruthless. With such a grandson, she still hopes to be saved.

Concubine De went to Kunning Palace to make a fuss, and she had already alarmed the queen, and the emperor would definitely not stop the matter. Then it will inevitably anger the three princes, who will die if the three princes don't die?

Ah Xiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, washed his hands, and stood beside the chaise longue without saying a word.

When she saw that the Queen Mother had left and returned, her face became ugly. She had a not-so-good premonition, which was related to the third prince.

She asked nervously, "Queen Mother, but something happened to Her Royal Highness?"

The Queen Mother motioned for her to sit down.

The palace people brought a brocade stool over, Ah Xiu sat down, and stared at the Queen Mother nervously, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with the Third Highness?"

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, but she didn't know how to explain the matter to her. People who have not lived in the palace for a long time will not know the serious consequences of Concubine De's invasion of Kunning Palace.

Not to mention breaking into the palace, up and down the palace, whether it is the master or the slave, they all detour to Kunning Palace, who dares to get closer?

The Queen Mother waved away the palace people and said, "Concubine De is dead."

Ah Xiu clutched her dress tightly, her face showing sadness and panic, "Concubine De Niangniang......

King Jin said that Concubine De would die, but how could it be so fast?

Concubine De died, and the third prince was half safe, but why should the Queen Mother worry?

She couldn't figure it out. She was also a little sad and blamed herself.

"You don't have to feel sorry for Concubine De, she is going to die after all." The Queen Mother looked at her and her tone was light, "But she did something stupid, I'm afraid that she will anger the emperor, whether she can keep the third prince or not, I have to think differently."

Ah Xiu's heart sank, angering the emperor?

She hurriedly stood up and asked, "Queen Mother, how to remedy it, how to calm the emperor's anger?" You say, "Slave and maid do it!"

The Queen Mother shook her head.

She couldn't think of a remedy.

She pinched her eyebrows, "You can stay next to the mourning family first." Just stay here and don't go anywhere."

"Yes......" Ah Xiu hesitated.

She kept in mind what King Jin said, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, for fear of saving the third prince by mistake.

But now that things have gone wrong, King Jin didn't say what she should do. Should she still listen to the Queen Mother's arrangement as she said before?

Mama He blessed her with a blessing, "Lin Ji, come with the slave maid."

Ah Xiu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, "I'm tired of Mama He." She knew that Mama He was only respecting the child in her womb.

She rushed to the Queen Mother and left with Mama He.

The room prepared for her is in the main hall, it is a warm pavilion with good sunshine, the queen mother is afraid that she will encounter accidents, right?

Ah Xiu thanked Mama He, "I want to sleep."

Mama He looked at her haggard face, "Lin Ji shouted if there was something, someone was guarding outside."

Ah Xiu nodded, "Okay."

Mama He went out, and the palace maid outside closed the door of the warm pavilion.

Ah Xiu took off his coat and went to bed, pulling the curtain in front of the bed, leaving only a little gap at the head of the bed to let in the light.

She pulled open the quilt and lay down, listening to the movement outside for a while before untying her purse.

It is a gold incense ball, small and delicate, with an openwork pattern. At the top of the incense ball is a thin gold chain that can be hung in the tent and carried around. If this kind of thing is discovered, as long as you don't look closely, it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

When I opened the incense ball, it was not incense pills, but small notes in a ball.

"Under the Buddha statue in Jin'an Hall of the Three Princes' Mansion, there is a mountain of gold. If I die, give it to those who help you behind it."

A show of hands

Trembling, tears fell.

It turned out that Concubine De knew that she would die before entering Cining Palace, so she made this arrangement in advance.

It turned out that Concubine De guessed that she relied on the guidance of King Jin to enter the palace? Does she want to use this "golden mountain" to buy the lives of the three princes? So, does King Jin know about this "golden mountain", but does he want this golden mountain?

Now that Concubine De is dead, she should listen to Concubine De and go out of the palace to give Jinshan to King Jin. Or should it be according to what King Jin said, after the death of Concubine De, everything will listen to the Queen Mother?

She pinched the note, and the rather indifferent face of King Jin appeared in her mind, "If you want the three princes to live, what this king said, you can't do a single wrong."

She couldn't help but shudder, the third prince once said that the seventh emperor uncle was very powerful. I didn't say how powerful it was.

Ah Xiu got up, took out a pair of scissors from the drawer of the bedside cupboard, and cut the paper carefully, leaving only one sentence, "Under the Buddha statue seat in Jin'an Hall of the Three Princes' Mansion, there is a mountain of gold."

She stuffed the extra paper into her mouth and swallowed it.

After doing all this, she got out of bed with her clothes on.

The two palace maids guarding outside heard the movement and came in, "Lin Ji, aren't you sleeping?"

Ah Xiu said, "I can't sleep, please help me redress."

"Yes."

The palace maid responded, took a new stack of clothes from the side, and helped her change and dress again.

Ah Xiu held the incense ball and walked out of the warm pavilion.

The Queen Mother was leaning on the low couch, looking tired, she glanced at Ah Xiu, "You are pregnant, you need to sleep to have a safe baby. Even if you can't sleep, you have to lie down."

Ah Xiu glanced at the palace maid in the hall, and stopped talking.

The Queen Mother waved her hand at Mama He.

Mama He led the palace maids out and closed the fan again.

Ah Xiu walked to the edge of the collapse and put the incense ball in the queen mother's hand, "The slave maid found this from the purse, this is not the slave's thing, but I don't know how it came from."

As soon as the Queen Mother took the incense ball, she knew that it was a made-in-one thing.

She opened the clasp and saw the note inside.

The Queen Mother sat up straight and looked up at Ah Xiu, "Can you read this note?"

Ah Xiu nodded, "The slave maid saw it and thought it was strange, so she came to show it to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Ah Xiu.

The appearance of the woman in front of her is quite good, but her temperament is ordinary, and she does not have the lofty bearing of everyone from the inside.

Originally, she didn't look down on this kind of concubine who was brought up from the maid, but she was just a thing to serve the master's bed, and she was short-sighted, and what she was willing to follow the three princes was just the wealth and glory of the palace.

But what she has done recently is impressive, and she has a deep affection for the third prince. At this time, in the face of the so-called "gold mountain", without anyone else knowing, he didn't have any other thoughts, so he handed it over.

The Queen Mother asked, "Don't you want this mountain of gold?"

Ah Xiu shook his head slowly, "As long as the third prince is alive, the slave maid."

The Queen Mother sighed, "Your frankness can't help relieve the emperor's anger."

She got up, "You come with me."
