Lu Chengting said, "In a short period of time, the third prince and the fifth prince have had accidents one after another, and now there are five princes, but only the fourth prince is left." ”

The guard nodded, he just heard that something had happened to the fifth prince and felt that the matter might not be simple, so he hurriedly came back to tell Lu Chengting.

Xiao Jinyue heard Lu Chengting's words, and for some reason, she actually remembered the words she heard in the cave that day.

She remembered the man comforting the woman he was cheating with, and he said, "Don't worry, the other two, I've figured out what they're up to, and when I clear the barriers, you can do whatever you want." ”

A bold thought suddenly surged into Xiao Jinyue's mind, could it be that the other two that the man was referring to were the third prince and the fifth prince?

But as soon as this thought came out, she pinched it off the next second.

Although the original five princes won the throne, now there is only one of the four princes left, if you speculate according to who benefits the most is the mastermind behind the scenes, it should be the four princes.

But the man in the cave that day was surnamed Song, and the four princes did not come to the Jin Palace.

Looking at it this way, the four princes can be excluded.

The man is not the fourth prince, and the woman cannot be his mother, Concubine Zhuang Xian.

King Jin is the emperor's brother, and the two have had a very good relationship since childhood. Originally, the first emperor planned to pass the throne to King Jin, but after Princess Jin gave birth to her first child, King Jin was injured on the battlefield. After the doctor diagnosed, he said that he had injured his offspring and would not be able to have children in the future.

The King of Jin had no intention of taking the throne, so he truthfully informed the emperor of the diagnosis of the imperial physician and asked the emperor to pass on the throne to the current saint.

Because of this, after so many years, the emperor has always been grateful.

When he heard that the emperor's brother had found his only biological daughter, the emperor was happy for him.

On the day of the confession banquet, the emperor gave a lot of generous gifts to the Jin Palace.

In the harem, the queen also gave a copy.

Although the eldest prince was imprisoned, Zhao Guifei was not as favored as before. But seeing that the emperor and the queen gave gifts, Zhao Guifei was naturally not to be left behind, and also gave one to the Jin Palace.

Concubine Zhuang Xian, Concubine Yao Shu, and Concubine Sun Defei have always followed the two in front of them, and naturally they all followed suit.

Xiao Jinyue remembered that after the banquet that day, she specially asked her mother, Princess Jin, that the gifts given by the emperor and the queen were all sent by the eunuchs, and the congratulatory gifts of the four concubines were sent to the palace of the king of Jin by the palace maids beside them.

Concubine Zhuang Xian, who was the mother of the fourth prince that day, did not leave the palace to come to the Jin Palace, so it was impossible for her to cheat with that man in the fake cave.

Although the accident between the third prince and the fifth prince is too coincidental, it should have nothing to do with the man and woman.

According to the conversation between the two cheaters, they are both married and have their own families.

Although I don't know who the other two people the man is referring to, he should want to clear those two obstacles and marry the woman who cheated with him.

The woman once complained that the man now has a beautiful wife and concubine, and there is no place for her in her heart.

Xiao Jinyue remembered that the man said helplessly that he was forced to marry them out of desperation.

According to this analysis, the man should want to get rid of the wife and concubine who had no choice but to marry, so that he could marry the woman who cheated with him?

Xiao Jinyue's thoughts were still a mess after a long time, and she sighed in her heart, regretting why she didn't see the true faces of the man and woman earlier that day.

Just as he was holding his cheeks and pondering, Bai Guo led a grandmother in, Xiao Jinyue looked up and found that it was Zhai Mama beside Princess Jin.

"Mama Zhai, why are you here?"

Mama Zhai gave Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue a salute, and then said with a smile, "County Lord, someone from the palace has sent a message to the princess to bring you into the palace, saying that the queen mother and her old man want to see you." So the princess asked me to pick you up to the Jin Palace, and she will accompany you into the palace. ”

Xiao Jinyue was slightly surprised in her heart, the emperor was uneasy, he hadn't been to the court for several days, and her father had not seen the emperor several times when he entered the palace, saying that he wanted to recuperate, but no one saw him.

How could the Queen Mother be in the mood to summon her at such a time?

But after thinking about it again, the Queen Mother is her grandmother after all, and I heard that the granddaughter who has been lost for many years has been found, and it is reasonable to want to see her.

The queen mother is still in the mood to see her at this time, does it also mean that the emperor's body is actually not a big problem, he is just angry with the third prince and the fifth prince, and feels that he has no face to see people, so he has not been to the court for a few days?

A few thoughts swirled in Xiao Jinyue's mind, but they didn't appear on her face. After resigning from Lu Chengting, he followed Mama Zhai to the Jin Palace.

When I arrived at the Jin Palace, I saw that the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin were ready to wait for her.

As soon as the husband and wife saw her, they immediately pulled her to ask for warmth, worried that she would be nervous and scared when she entered the palace, and asked the maid to bring her pastries and tea, so that she could pad her stomach and make sure that she would not be hungry, so the family of three went out together.

The King of Jin rode a horse, while Xiao Jinyue and the princess rode in a carriage together.

Knowing that Xiao Jinyue rarely enters the palace, Princess Jin was explaining to her the rules and etiquette of entering the palace along the way, and comforted her that the queen mother generally treats her juniors very kindly, so that she should not be nervous and afraid.

Xiao Jinyue remembered the experience of being summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother and giving her marriage, in fact, her first impression of the Queen Mother in her heart can only be said to be average.

But at that time, she was just a lowly girl, and the county lord of Chang'an belittled her openly and secretly in front of the Queen Mother, so it was not surprising that the Queen Mother did not want to see her.

Now that I know that she is the daughter of King Jin, I don't know if the Queen Mother will change her opinion of her?

The mother and daughter chatted casually in the carriage, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the palace.

King Jin hadn't seen the emperor for a few days, and he was worried about his body, so after entering the palace, he went directly to meet the emperor.

Xiao Jinyue followed Princess Jin to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.

After the mother and daughter entered the Cining Palace, the palace maid came out with an apologetic face and told them that the Queen Mother didn't sleep well last night and had just slept after using soothing tea.

After listening to the words of the palace maid, Princess Jin and Xiao Jinyue didn't think much about it. The four princes had accidents one after another, and the emperor was not in good health, and the queen mother was worried, and it was normal to not sleep well at night.

Although the Queen Mother is usually well maintained, she is not young after all. Several grandchildren had accidents, and as a grandmother, the Queen Mother must not be comfortable in her heart.

The palace maid took Princess Jin and Xiao Jinyue to the side hall to drink tea and wait.

Xiao Jinyue sat in the side hall with her mother, chatting while drinking tea, and she didn't know how long it took, she felt like she was going to doze off, but the Queen Mother hadn't woken up yet.

Princess Jin looked at Xiao Jinyue's listless little face, smiled lovingly, and asked her if she wanted to go for a visit to the Imperial Garden.

Xiao Jinyue perked up and simply nodded.

It's boring to sit still, so you might as well take a walk in the Imperial Garden.
