Zhao Zun squinted his eyes halfway, and looked at the gradually darkening sky, his jade-like face was like a jewel, so beautiful, it made people feel dazed.
After a while, Zhao Qi knocked on the door, and Zhao Zun was overwhelmed.
Concubine Xiao also woke up, rubbed her eyes laxly, and looked out the window, it was already dark, the moment she turned her head, Zhao Zun shifted his gaze to the account book in his hand.
"Master, everything has been arranged." Zhao Qi said softly outside the door.
Zhao Zun nodded, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yu, who quickly got up, and after a while, Hongxiu also came in.
"Miss?!"
Hongxiu's injuries were slightly worse than Xiao Concubine's, but they were all superficial wounds, and they were almost healed after applying the medicine. He stepped forward anxiously, and looked Xiao Concubine up and down.
"I'm fine." Xiao Concubine stood up, patted her arms and legs, nothing happened at all.
Only then did Hongxiu heave a sigh of relief, "It's good that there's nothing wrong, this servant is worried to death."
The two masters and servants talked to each other, and finally began to wipe their tears. Zhao Zun couldn't help but cleared his throat.
Xiao Yu shook his head, "Leave here first and then talk about it."
Hongxiu nodded and followed Xiao Concubine, feeling a little uneasy.
A carriage stopped outside the gate of the Zhao Mansion, Xiao Concubine looked around, but she didn't see the Prime Minister on the right, so she immediately put on a serious face.
"You're not bluffing me, are you? Where's my father?"
The corners of Zhao Zun's mouth twitched slightly, and he was vigilant. He pointed to the groom, and Concubine Xiao followed her gaze.
"Miss Nine, it's an old slave, Master Xiang is here to pick you up."
Only then did Xiao Cong get into the carriage with peace of mind, a curtain cut off the sight of the two of them, and they drove gradually into the night, until they could no longer see, then Zhao Zun turned back.
Shaking his head, he must be crazy, thinking about a half-old child.
"Master? Three days later, the eldest prince will hold a banquet to welcome you." Zhao Qi said.
Zhao Zun squinted his eyes and nodded, as acquiescing, he plunged into the important matter, and quickly forgot about Miss Xiao.
Xiao Concubine got into the carriage, and there was an old woman sitting in the carriage, Xiao Concubine was a little surprised.
"Miss Jiu, this old servant is Aunt Qin who is next to Princess Jinghua. He specially sent Miss Jiu back to the mansion. My princess accidentally saved Miss Jiu's life. Miss Jiu was unconscious and didn't wake up until this morning."
A few simple words immediately solved Xiao Yu's current problem, and Xiao Yu was hesitating how to explain it.
Princess Jinghua is the daughter of Concubine Xian, who is very favored, but escaped into Buddhism more than ten years ago, and has never been involved in mundane affairs since then.
Who can invite Princess Jinghua to help? Miss Xiao was curious.
Hongxiu was very excited, now it's all right, with the princess testifying, Xiao Concubine's reputation can be regarded as preserved.
Aunt Qin understood the doubt in Miss Xiao's eyes, and smiled, "It's Mr. Zhao."
It's him? Concubine Xiao wondered, how could this person be so kind
But since being able to help is a good thing, Xiao Concubine already owed him two favors before he knew it, and she would just repay it when she had the chance. The most important thing right now was to return home, how to deal with those people with malicious intentions.
"Miss Jiu is back, come quickly, Miss Jiu is back."
With a loud shout, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling.
The old lady woke up from her sleep, "I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Is Xiao Jiu back?"
Nanny Ruan nodded, and helped the old lady get up to get dressed, "That's right, it's Miss Nine!"
The old lady was overjoyed, quickly put on her clothes, and hurried over.
As soon as Concubine Xiao stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the masters who could be named in the Prime Minister's Mansion came.
Mrs. Fan was the first to come back to her senses, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "My poor son, what kind of crime did you suffer? Thank God, Bodhisattva bless you, you are finally back."
Concubine Xiao squinted at Fan Shi, her brows were slightly lowered, the eldest lady is a poisonous snake, lurking all the time, it was she who was stupid, coaxing the eldest lady like her own mother, closer than the old lady, Fan secretly treated herself as a Tease like a fool.
Xiao Concubine clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves, she would never be stupid again in this life, before she could speak, she heard a familiar voice, and Xiao Concubine's eyes immediately turned red.
"It's good to be back, Xiaojiu, quickly ask grandma to take a look."
The old lady walked out holding Nanny Ruan's hand all the way out, grasped Xiao Concubine's hand with tears in her eyes, looked up and down carefully, and was completely relieved until she confirmed that Xiao Concubine was fine.
As soon as Xiao Concubine saw the old lady, tears flowed down uncontrollably. She was blinded in her previous life, and the old lady has always cared for her. Before she got married, she allocated more than half of her dowry to Concubine Xiao, and she didn't feel bad at all.
It was she who was stupid, Xiao Ruo tricked her into saying something, and when it spread, all the girls who provoked her lost their hearts with the old lady, and their knees were lonely, and there was no longer the scene of being surrounded by children and grandchildren, and their old age was very depressed.
"Grandmother." Concubine Xiao plunged into the old lady's arms like swallows throwing milk into the forest, crying aggrievedly, "Xiao Jiu thought she would never see grandma again, grandma Xiao Jiu is so scared!"
The old lady patted Concubine Xiao on the head, and the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried for a while.
Right Prime Minister coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Bastard! Where have you been these days? Do you know how much your grandmother worried about you?"
The old lady's face immediately turned serious, and she said to the right minister angrily, "Just come back safe and sound, don't scare Xiaojiu anymore."
Right Xiangyu choked, he had no choice but to let the old lady do what she wanted, did not dare to refute, and stood aside awkwardly, not at all the momentum to say one thing in court.
Concubine Xiao had cried enough, she wiped away her tears, but it made the old lady feel bad.
"Ninth sister, where are you going these days? Everyone is very worried about you. If you have been bullied, tell me, father will never forgive him!"
Xiao Ruo stood up, her eyes were red, and she looked worried.
"Yes, Ninth Sister, don't be afraid. When you get home, someone will make decisions for you." Xiao Ying couldn't help but choked up, looking as if she was very worried about Xiao Concubine's safety.
It was the same in the previous life, Xiao Yu was so frightened that she didn't even notice the implication.
The eldest lady stepped forward and said angrily, "Xiao Jiu, mother will definitely make the decision for you, and will never spare the thief lightly. Don't be afraid, when you get home, no one will dare to bully you."
Miss Xiao raised her eyes and asked back with a puzzled expression, "Why is mother so convinced that I was taken away? Was I bullied?"
The eldest lady was speechless, and the old lady angrily gouged out the eyes of the eldest lady. The eyes were very unfriendly. The eldest lady opened her mouth and looked innocently at the right minister, who remained silent and did not look at her.
Concubine Xiao pouted her lips aggrievedly, and turned her head to question Xiao Ruo, "Fifth Sister, you clearly said that the back mountain of Jokhang Temple is illuminated by Buddha light in the afternoon, if you can see it, your wish will come true."
