Xiao Jinyue burned the note that Chi Yan had brought back, and then brushed over what had happened recently in his mind.

The four princes had accidents one after another, and the emperor fell ill and had been out of office for a few days.

Her father, King Jin, entered the palace and did not see the emperor for several days, but the eunuch who came to Cining Palace yesterday to spread the word said that after her father saw the emperor, he returned to the house alone.

Xiao Jinyue was uneasy, if her father really saw the emperor and returned to the house, then it would be fine. I'm afraid, her father didn't see the emperor at all.

Also, this time she and Princess Jin were summoned to the palace, but they couldn't see the Queen Mother for a long time. She didn't have any doubts about this, but thought that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, so she didn't see them.

But now, it seems that things are not simple.

Also, the emperor suddenly wanted to hold a holy birthday for the queen mother in advance, and the time was set for the day after tomorrow. Now it seems that this Holy Birthday Festival is a hidden mystery.

Although she couldn't guess the specific conspiracy of the people behind it, the palace banquet has always been the most prone to accidents. Combined with the recent events, if you are not careful, not only will something happen to Princess Jin, but I don't know what kind of bloody storm will be set off behind it.

Time was pressing, Xiao Jinyue didn't have time to think about it, took out the rice paper, and wrote again.

wrote two letters and asked Chiyan to quietly take them out of the palace again, one for Lu Chengting and the other for her father Xiao Pingyuan.

Next, Xiao Jinyue pretended to follow her mother to organize the Queen Mother's birthday banquet casually, and went to Cining Palace several times during the period.

But every time the palace maids who came out to spread the word used various reasons to prevaricate them, even Princess Jin began to notice that something was wrong.

The Queen Mother couldn't see her face, and wanted to take Xiao Jinyue back to the Jin Palace, but Concubine Zhuang Xian sent a palace maid to pass the word, saying that she was unwell and entrusted all the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to Princess Jin and Xiao Jinyue.

The two couldn't get out, so they had to stay and continue to organize the birthday banquet.

Chi Yan came back after sending the letter, Xiao Jinyue thought about it, felt uneasy, and let it go to the Jin Palace, only to come back and tell her that Chi Yan overheard the people of the Jin Palace, and the King of Jin had not returned to the palace since he entered the palace with them.

Xiao Jinyue's heart sank, and she took advantage of the darkness to ask Chi Yan to quietly help her find out the situation in the palace.

Chi Yan nodded in response, quietly went out for a walk, and came back to inform Xiao Jinyue that King Jin was locked up in a prison, and his body seemed to be injured and unconscious.

Xiao Jinyue took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water and gave it to Chiyan, asked it to be quietly sent to King Jin, and then asked it to continue to inquire about the situation of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

In Yikun Palace, Zhao Guifei was lying lazily on the beauty couch, letting the maid pinch her shoulders and beat her legs.

A palace maid opened the bead curtain and walked in to say, "Niangniang, the eldest prince sent someone again, saying that you want you to help him intercede with the emperor and release him as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Guifei raised her eyebrows, immediately sat up from the beauty couch, and shouted angrily, "What a fool, let the person come back and tell the eldest prince that he can stay in the mansion to cultivate his self." If he dares to make trouble again, don't think about coming out again in the future. ”

The palace maid who came in to pay a respectful speech trembled, and she didn't understand why the concubine used to love the eldest prince the most, but now she was so cruel to him. The eldest prince was imprisoned by the emperor, and the concubine didn't want to think of a way to release the eldest prince as soon as possible.

Now that the four princes are in charge of the country on behalf of the emperor, the court is full of praise for him, and if this continues, where will the eldest prince have the opportunity to ascend to that position.

Although she was puzzled by the concubine's behavior in her heart, the palace maid didn't dare to say it, so she could only nod her head submissively.

On the contrary, the nurse Wei Mama, who was standing on the side, stopped the palace maid, "Go and tell the person who came that the emperor has been in poor health recently, so let the eldest prince study hard in the mansion." After a while, the emperor's anger will disappear, and Niangniang will find a way to intercede for the eldest prince. ”

Zhao Guifei frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Nurse ......"

Mama Wei waved her hand to let the people waiting around her retreat, and then she spoke, "Niangniang, I know what you are thinking, but now is the critical moment, and nothing can go wrong." On the eldest prince's side, bear with me a little longer. ”

Zhao Guifei sneered, "Such an idiot, I don't know if he is in the mansion, and he fools around with the maids in the mansion every day." If it weren't for his sake of getting rid of the second prince, I would have wanted to abolish him. That's it, for the sake of me raising him for a while, let him be free for a while. ”

Seeing that she had persuaded her, Mama Wei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "Niangniang, I guess I want to take advantage of the Holy Birthday to do it." However, in the past two days, the princess of Jin and the princess of Zhenguo Mansion have not seen the queen mother several times in Cining Palace, and the old slave is worried that they will be suspicious......"

Zhao Guifei's eyes lit up, "I finally can't help it over there, it's great, I've been waiting for this day for too long." Still, it looks like we're going to have to help them. ”

Zhao Guifei took Mama Wei to the palace where Princess Jin lived.

In the Cining Palace, a palace maid hurriedly opened the bead curtain and went in to say, "Queen Mother, the concubine is going to the palace where Princess Jin lives." ”

When the sick queen heard this, her face immediately turned hideous, "Hmph, Zhao Feiyan, that slut, this is to take advantage of the credit of helping to organize the queen mother's birthday banquet, so that the emperor can release the eldest prince?"

She's dreaming! I killed my child, and I won't let her do it. ”

Princess Jin was arranging for the grandmother below to do things, and as soon as Zhao Guifei came in, she said apologetically, "Princess Jin, thanks to you staying in the palace with the princess to organize the queen mother's birthday banquet." I just went to Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother heard about it, but she was full of praise for you, and said that she hired you as a concubine for King Jin back then, which was the right thing. ”

Princess Jin hurriedly said modestly, "Usually in the palace, the Queen Mother is thanks to your service, I am just taking advantage of the birthday banquet to show my heart, where can I pay more than you." ”

Xiao Jinyue frowned invisibly, she and her mother went to Cining Palace several times but didn't see the Queen Mother, but this Zhao Guifei saw it as soon as she went?

Xiao Jinyue looked at Zhao Guifei quietly, and asked happily, "Guifei Niangniang just went to see the Queen Mother?" Is she getting better? ”

"I just came from Cining Palace, and the imperial doctor just helped the Queen Mother to see a doctor, and said that she was already better. However, he still has to stay in bed to recuperate, lest on the day of the birthday banquet, the civil and military officials and women who entered the palace to congratulate her birthday will see that the queen mother is not feeling well, which will affect the joy of the birthday banquet......"

"I just went to Cining Palace and didn't see the Queen Mother, but my sister saw it as soon as she went, you are lucky."

Xiao Jinyue didn't expect that Zhao Guifei, who had been closed all along, suddenly came, and even the queen came.

But she didn't say anything, just quietly watched the sick queen and the glamorous concubine come and go, arguing with each other.

Xiao Jinyue saw that Princess Jin wanted to speak and thin mud, so she quietly pulled her sleeve and stopped her.

The eldest prince killed the second prince, and the queen and the concubine have become mortal enemies, and no one can stop them.

The two of them had a quarrel, so she took the opportunity to see how many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods were still hidden in this palace.
