Xiao Jinyue hurried back to the house and met Xiao Haoqing, who had just returned, at the gate of the house.

From the angry and forbearant look on his face, Xiao Jinyue guessed that he was afraid that things were not going well.

"Big brother, have you seen your father? And what happened to the eldest sister, she was whipped by the princess and was not seriously injured? ”

Xiao Haoqing's face turned pale, "I entered the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother left me to dry at the gate of Cining Palace for a long time, and only then did a grandmother come out to pass the word, saying that the Queen Mother was tired and had rested." ”

"What about the mother, have you seen her? If it is said that it is the father who resists the decree, why did he detain his mother in the palace and not let him return home? ”

Xiao Haoqing pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Jinyue couldn't help but be anxious, "Big brother, when is it now, what can't you say to me?" If you don't explain things to me, how will I know what to do next? ”

Xiao Haoqing originally didn't want her to know, lest she worry, and thought about solving the matter on her own. But after entering the palace, he realized that whether it was the court or the harem, the imperial power was greater than the sky, and he couldn't protect the family with his white body at all.

He knew that the second sister was right, if he hid the matter from her, he wouldn't know that she would get into trouble.

"Mother, I saw it, it is said that the queen mother accused her of not being strict with her goddaughter, and was punished to kneel in the courtyard of Cining Palace. Without the order of the Queen Mother, I couldn't bring her back. ”

"Where's the eldest sister?"

"The eldest sister was whipped by the princess and punished to kneel at the palace gate."

"Dad was arrested and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department?"

"Yes, I came out of the palace and went to the Ministry of Punishment, but the jailer guarding the door said that no one could go in to visit without the will of the Queen Mother. I went to the Criminal Department to ask to see the secretary of the Criminal Department, but I didn't see anyone, saying that he had gone out to handle the case and had not returned. ”

Xiao Jinyue's heart sank to the bottom, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"Second sister, don't worry, we won't let you marry the prince of Zhenguo. He was poisoned and hunted down three times and twice, although his status is noble, he is not suitable for you. The Zhenguo Mansion is no less than a Longtan Tiger's Den, and whoever marries him is afraid that he will be poisoned and lose his life. ”

Xiao Jinyue was moved in her heart, and said that adversity sees the truth, and you can see people's hearts over time. Something happened to her father and mother, and her eldest brother didn't say anything to let her bow to power.

But she caused the incident, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to her father's fate. Besides, she inherited the body of the original owner, and she promised to do her best to protect the original owner's family.

"Girl, the Queen Mother has sent someone to announce that you will enter the palace to meet you." Bai Guo ran in with a worried face. The general and his wife never returned, and she was worried that something would happen to the girl when she entered the palace.

Xiao Haoqing also stretched out his hand to stop her, "Second sister, don't go, just say you're sick, and the eldest brother will follow someone into the palace......"

Xiao Jinyue smiled and patted his arm and comforted, "It's just right, I just wanted to enter the palace." It's me who caused it, so I'll fix it. Eldest brother, don't worry, the Queen Mother won't do anything to me, they just want me to come up with an antidote to save the prince of Zhenguo. My medical skills, big brother is still not at ease? ”

Although she knew that her second sister's medical skills were good, the prince of Zhenguo was poisoned one after another, and she didn't know if she was sure to save him.

Xiao Haoqing also wanted to ask how the prince of Zhenguo was doing now, but the grandmother who came to Cining Palace to announce the decree was already urging impatiently, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

Xiao Jinyue followed the grandmother of Cining Palace to the gate of the palace by car, and as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw her eldest sister Xiao Jinlan kneeling not far from the palace gate.

Because of kneeling for a long time, her body was already shaky, her face was pale and sweaty, and the whip marks on her back were faintly showing a trace of blood.

Xiao Jinyue was suddenly angry, and despite her grandmother's objections, she walked quickly towards Xiao Jinlan. took out a small bottle from his sleeve pocket, uncorked it, and reached Xiao Jinlan's mouth, "Sister, drink it quickly." ”

Xiao Jinlan was kneeling with a dry mouth, and she didn't refuse, so she took a big gulp of the bottle, although the bottle was just ordinary water, but she felt that this water was simply more delicious than the elixir and jade liquid.

Xiao Jinlan only thought that she had been kneeling for too long and thirsty for too long before she felt that a bottle of boiled water was so delicious, but only Xiao Jinyue knew that the water in the bottle was mixed with spiritual spring water by her.

The reason why Xiao Jinlan was beaten and punished for kneeling was also affected by her in the final analysis, Xiao Jinyue was worried that she would hurt her knee after kneeling for too long, and she would fall ill in the future, so she secretly mixed some spiritual spring water into it.

The grandmother of Cining Palace has been pampered for many years, and her legs and feet are not as fast as Xiao Jinyue, and when she comes, Xiao Jinlan has already drunk a bottle of water.

Xiao Jinyue took out the trauma medicine and handed it to the white fruit who came with her, "You help the eldest girl into the carriage, help her with good medicine, and then send her back to the house." ”

When Xiao Jinlan heard this, she was anxious, "Second sister, what about you, aren't you going back?" ”

Xiao Jinyue patted her arm soothingly and helped her up, "Eldest sister, you go back first, and I will go back after entering the palace to meet the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing that Xiao Jinlan was helped up, Mama frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Miss Xiao shocked the frame of the second princess and was punished to kneel at the gate of the palace, without the princess's order, I am afraid you can't take her away." ”

Xiao Jinyue said coldly, "Even if my eldest sister shocked the frame of the second princess, she has already whipped my eldest sister and punished her for kneeling for so long." Even if my eldest sister is at fault, these punishments are enough. Is it possible that you still want my eldest sister to kneel to death? The queen mother is the most compassionate person in our Yuankang Dynasty, under her teaching, the second princess is not a ruthless person, and she will not have to pay for her life because a courtier shocked her frame. ”

Although Xiao Jinyue went against her will and said that the second princess was not a ruthless person, for the sake of Xiao Jinlan, she didn't mind using these words to block her grandmother's mouth first.

The grandmother choked and couldn't refute Xiao Jinyue's words, if she insisted that Xiao Jinlan continue to kneel, wouldn't it mean that the second princess was a ruthless person, and she had to kneel to death before she stopped?

Taking advantage of Mama's silence, Xiao Jinyue hurriedly gave Bai Guo a look and asked her to help Xiao Jinlan away quickly.

Entering Cining Palace, Xiao Jinyue saw the Xue family kneeling in the courtyard at a glance. After kneeling for a long time, Xiao Jinyue could see that she was almost at the limit, but she couldn't give her the spiritual spring water, let alone help her up.

It's not that she doesn't want to help, after all, Xue was punished by the Queen Mother. Xiao Jinyue didn't know the queen mother's personality, and she didn't dare to act rashly, if she made a good proposition as soon as she came, which angered the queen mother, it would be even worse for the Xue family.

When the Xue family saw that her second daughter was announced into Cining Palace, her eyes were full of worry, but she couldn't do anything to stop it.

Xiao Jinyue smiled comfortingly at her mother, and followed her grandmother into Cining Palace without being humble or arrogant.

Entering Cining Palace, she didn't look around, she walked a few steps forward without squinting, and saw the majestic Queen Mother sitting on the phoenix throne in the afterglow, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother did not shout, and Xiao Jinyue only quietly maintained a kneeling posture.
