Regent's Palace.

Song Qian brought the boiled medicine into the assassin's room, and when he pushed the door open, he found that the figure on the bed was gone.

She looked around strangely, but found nothing.

After placing the medicine bowl on the table, Song Qian turned around and went out to look for it, and just as she was about to step out of the threshold, the assassin suddenly walked in on a rampage, and the two of them almost collided together.

"Princess, it's a small recklessness, I bumped into the princess, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." The Assassin who reacted immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Song Qian came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you get up quickly." Your body is not well yet, don't kneel on the ground and get cold and worsen your condition. I've brought you the medicine, you can drink it quickly, so you can rest." Now that this matter is done, she nods and leaves after the other party agrees.

I don't know if it's because of the bad rest these days, Song Qianqing couldn't help but feel a sore back, so he rubbed his arms and walked out of the backyard, but he didn't expect to see Ji Changye and Changfeng head-on.

Her appearance was naturally noticed by Ji Changye, so he immediately stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Song Niangzi, is there anything wrong with your body?" Or is it hurt?"

Before Song Qian could answer and explain, he frowned slightly and continued: "Just leave those housework or small things to the people below, you don't have to work on your body."

"It's just a little thing that you can do, and it's not that you can't do it without hands or feet, so why bother others? They have their own things to do, and I can do it myself." Song Qian shook his head and rejected Ji Changye's words.

Ji Changye knew that he couldn't persuade Song Qian, although he felt sorry for her, he still gave up, and asked instead: "A few days ago, I talked about asking Mr. Yuan Bao for advice, I have already arranged it, let Yuan Bao decide for himself when the time comes, and see if he is satisfied with this gentleman."

After all, now that Song Qian and him have married, they naturally want to stay in the imperial capital, Yuanbao's studies cannot be wasted, and he is not worried that he will go to the private school of the royal family, so he discussed inviting a gentleman to teach in the palace.

I didn't expect it to be done so quickly, Song Qian said gratefully for Yuanbao, "Thank you Wangye, Yuanbao will definitely like it."

"Song Niangzi is polite." Ji Changye replied.

The two men then walked side by side to the backyard, intending to discuss with the Assassin what to do next.

Because of the Empress Dowager's decree, Xiao Xirou came to the Queen Mother's bedroom every day to kneel and worship and atone for her sins, and it was three hours in a row, so soon her body couldn't bear it.

On this day, the sun was scorching, and Xiao Xirou was forced to kneel dizzily. Who made her provoke the Queen Mother without knowing whether she was alive or dead?

But soon she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell straight down under the exclamation of the maid beside her.

The queen mother in the palace heard the movement, and said to the old eunuch waiting beside her disapprovingly, "Go out and see what happened."

The old eunuch had to be ordered to go and come back to report everything that had happened.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother put down the tea cup in her hand, got up with the support of the old eunuch, and came to the door of the dormitory, looking at Xiao Xirou, who was fainting surrounded by the maids, and finally said because of her identity: "Carry the Queen Mother into the inner room of the mourning family, and then call the imperial doctor to come."

The emperor turned a blind eye to her punishment of Xiao Xirou, but he couldn't make a mistake, otherwise it would be difficult not only for himself, but also for the emperor to be threatened and questioned by the Xiao family.

The people below obeyed Cheng's order and did so, but fortunately, Xiao Xirou was fine, and woke up soon after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.

Finding out where she was, Xiao Xirou was startled and hurriedly got up and asked, "Where is this palace?"

At this time, the Queen Mother walked in from the outside and replied, "Naturally, it is the inner room of the mourning family, how can your body be so weak? I'm still going to ask the Imperial Doctor to prescribe you a few pairs of nourishing decoctions."

Xiao Xirou was very speechless when she heard these words, thinking that she had already fainted in her bedroom, and it was really sad that she could still say these slightly accusatory words.

But she was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, the kneeling time would get longer and longer, so she could only smile all over her face

He replied, "The queen mother's lesson is that the concubine did not think it through, and when she returned, the concubine asked the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse and prescribe a few pairs of nourishing decoctions to make up for it."

The Queen Mother was a little surprised to see that she didn't refute herself, but she quickly took out the arrogance of the Queen Mother, and said with a cold expression: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to listen to the words of the mourning family for a day? But if the queen really listened to the words of the mourning family, I am afraid that today's incident would not have happened. So Queen, do you regret it now?" With a wave of her hand, she let all the subordinates around her retreat, and in an instant, she saw that only the Queen Mother and Xiao Xirou were left in the huge inner room.

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Xiao Xirou knew that he was still worried about the events of that day, not to mention that the Queen Mother cared, and he also cared, so he didn't open his mouth to answer her question, because he really didn't know how to say it.

The Queen Mother looked at her appearance and knew that it was not easy to make Xiao Xirou soft, but she had already thought of a strategy on how to deal with her, so she thoughtfully sat on the chair opposite the bed and said to Xiao Xirou: "Now it doesn't matter whether you admit what you did or not, the important thing is whether the prince recognizes what he did at the beginning. Presumably you know this truth better than the mourning family, and you know the consequences of admitting it or not, right?"

Sure enough, after mentioning Ji Qirui, Xiao Xirou's face changed suddenly, and she completely lost the appearance of being high just now, but pleaded with the Queen Mother and said, "Everything is the impulse and confusion of the concubine, the Queen Mother, don't blame the crown prince." You say you want your concubine to do something, and the concubine will never say anything." As she spoke, she dragged her tired body and wanted to grab the queen mother's sleeve, wanting her to soften her heart and let go of their mother and son.

However, the Queen Mother was still haunted by Xiao Xirou's insult to herself that day, and naturally she couldn't let her go lightly, so she kindly reminded: "Nowadays, almost everyone knows that those people are princelings, and most of these things are instructed by the prince. Since everyone thinks so, what do you still need to say and do? But for your pity, and we are a family after all, so the mourning family will tell you what to do at this time."

Although Xiao Xirou was dissatisfied with what the Queen Mother said, she still listened attentively.

"Now the only one who can help the prince is the Xiao family, and you are the queen, and Rui'er is still the prince, so they will definitely help you." In any case, they and the Xiao family are grasshoppers on the same rope after all, and they will definitely not sit still if something really happens.

Xiao Xirou naturally pondered after listening to the Queen Mother's words, and felt that what the Queen Mother said was very reasonable, after all, the unsightly things that the Xiao family helped herself and Ji Qirui do at the beginning were to allow them not to completely clear up the relationship between her and Ji Qirui.

Seeing Xiao Xirou's hesitant expression, the Queen Mother took advantage of the victory and said, "Now that you haven't found a way to deal with these things that have happened, why don't you consider letting the Xiao family help you and the crown prince?" This makes it easier for them to do these things, and they don't have to worry about doing these things." She had already said it clearly enough, and Xiao Xirou naturally wrote it down.

The Queen Mother naturally did not kindly remind Xiao Xirou, but planned in her heart to wait for the Xiao family to be involved in this matter, and then use them to do something inconvenient for herself, so that Xiao Xirou would know that she would never be able to show off her power in front of her.

So after watching Xiao Xirou fall into deep thought, the Queen Mother knew that what she said had already worked, so she was afraid that it would be useless to say more, so she turned around and left the dormitory, so that Xiao Xirou was calm and calm here, and thought about this method.

I only saw Xiao Xirou looking sad after the Queen Mother left, and finally gritted her teeth as if she had made a major decision. After leaving the queen mother's bedroom, she disguised herself and quietly left the palace under cover and came to Xiao's house.

Xiao Jianyuan didn't expect her to come, and she came so cautiously that he instantly guessed what Xiao Xirou's purpose was, and it was difficult to do this, otherwise he wouldn't have come to them.

"What are you doing when you come back?" Why didn't you ride in a carriage or have any servants waiting for you, did you do something in the palace to send your majesty back?" When he asked these words, Xiao Jianyuan couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, after all, his daughter was the only connection of the Xiao family in the palace and the court, and it was precisely because

It is her noble status as the queen that can bring the Xiao family to where it is today.

So Xiao Xirou categorically couldn't have an accident.

After realizing that Xiao Jianyuan had misunderstood this matter, Xiao Xirou hurriedly explained: "No, it's just that this time I am afraid that going out of the palace will be too high-profile and let others fall behind, because His Majesty advocates frugality on weekdays, and this palace is the queen, so naturally she can't disobey the order of the Son of Heaven. So nothing has happened, so don't worry about that, father." Fortunately, Xiao Xirou quickly thought of how to deal with his question and answered without danger.

And Xiao Jianyuan didn't doubt too much when he heard this, but asked, "Then I don't know what happened when the queen came back suddenly? Just let the grandmother or father-in-law in the palace summon it, why do you have to move it yourself? What should I do if the ministers are unprepared and neglect the queen?"

Xiao Xirou didn't have time to say this now, because she was afraid that if she came out for too long, it would attract the suspicion of others, so she hurriedly said the purpose of her trip: "This palace came here to ask my father to find a way to save the prince, he was framed, and this matter has nothing to do with him. But the man clearly wanted the prince to be involved, what if something happened? Bengong really didn't have anything to do, so he thought about coming to beg his father, and hoped that his father could help Bengong, and also help the prince."

Saying that, she wanted to kneel, but where did Xiao Jianyuan dare to accept the queen's kneeling, and hurriedly helped her up, but he still hesitated and didn't agree to the first time, and said, "Weichen has heard some about this matter, but I don't know what the secret is in it, I'm afraid that acting rashly will cause any trouble?"

The most important thing is that this time is not a trivial matter, Xiao Xirou came over lightly to plead, but when the time comes, it will be difficult to move an inch, and it is he who is worried, so Xiao Jianyuan thought about it and thought about finding a reason to refuse Xiao Xirou, but it can't be said too obviously, so that Xiao Xirou realizes that she doesn't want to help her.

Xiao Xirou naturally heard Xiao Jianyuan's reluctance, but for the sake of the prince, she pretended not to understand and said, "What trouble can there be? At that time, father, you have investigated the ins and outs, but you have helped the prince and the prince, can you bear to watch the palace and the prince being calculated?"
