Yaochi Palace, this is the first time to welcome this new empress.
"Meet the empress."
Concubine Xiao Gui still sat on the soft couch, and bowed her body as a courtesy.
Although she was ill, her exquisite face could still be seen as magnificent.
The phoenix eyes are so beautiful when they are picked up.
Her voice was charming.
But the queen empress is graceful and luxurious. Although she is very young, her phoenix appearance still makes people dare not look at her closely.
The maids knelt down and saluted the two masters.
The queen moved her lotus steps lightly, with a smile in her eyes, she said with a hearty smile: "Your concubine, you don't need to be too polite. You are sick, and I should have come to see you earlier, but I just haven't been free."
"It's the concubine's fault that the queen misses you." Concubine Xiao Gui's eyebrows and eyes were soft, she looked extremely kind.
The two chatted some gossip, the empress and concubine Xiao Gui came and went, it was nothing important.
A quarter of an hour later, someone outside reported that the empress dowager had summoned her.
The queen just got up, and before leaving, she asked, "Is the noble concubine thinking that Xiao Ting is the man of destiny?"
"The empress was joking. The concubine's niece is just a mischievous child. She is not a person of destiny."
Concubine Xiao Gui's face remained unchanged, she replied with a smile.
After the queen left, the moment the curtain was lowered, Concubine Xiao's expression darkened.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Xiao Gui didn't hide anything from her close maid, she just said: "Si Yu, have you heard a rumor recently?"
"Which one is the empress referring to?"
Although Concubine Xiao Gui did not leave the Yaochi Palace, she knew everything about the palace well, and everything was due to the days when she was favored in the past.
Siyu will tell Concubine Xiao all the news she heard.
"The Man of Destiny."
Concubine Xiao's tone was heavy.
Si Yu's complexion changed slightly, and he said: "Your maidservant, remember, all countries are compiling this man of destiny, what's wrong with your mother?"
The so-called Man of Destiny is the prophecy of the coming of a catastrophe, and such news was spread by the royal families of various countries.
It is said that he understands spells to connect yin and yang, can overturn the universe, and even change dynasties.
Actually speaking so much, what all countries have compiled is just a group of people. They know magic and are a group of people who are different from ordinary people.
The victims are countless.
"Ting'er has been in the limelight recently, and has been targeted."
Si Yu has been serving Concubine Xiao for quite a long time, and she has always been loyal. Hearing this, Liu Mei frowned slightly, and there was something strange on her delicate face.
"Your Majesty means, the Empress?"
Her voice was very low, seeing Concubine Xiao was about to get up, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"That's right." Concubine Xiao Gui got up, put on a robe, and walked towards the bed.
"She and your empress have always been in harmony with each other. How could this suddenly come to trouble you?"
Si Yu was puzzled, since the new queen entered the palace, she had never been to Yaochi Palace, and of course Concubine Xiao Gui had never been to see her.
After all, she was in the cold palace before, and then she was ill again.
Concubine Xiao Gui lay back on the bed, Si Yu hurriedly put a cushion on the back of her waist and helped her to lean on.
"If Bengong's guess is correct, she must have something to ask for!"
"She threatened you with Miss Six?" Si Yu was also thoughtful, and she figured it out in an instant.
"My lady, what are you going to do?"
"No problem." Concubine Xiao shook her head, smiling meaningfully, "It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of ability she has to surpass the fourth concubine and sit on the throne of empress?"
It was already severe winter in the imperial garden, but there were still flowers competing to bloom inside. It was born in the imperial city of the empire, and the climate was quite mild.
It's not particularly cold.
The queen was dressed in a phoenix robe, walking in the front, and walked towards a pavilion inside.
The cotton curtains around the octagonal pavilion had already been put down, and there were two maids standing outside, indicating that there was a master sitting inside.
"The servants pay homage to the empress."
"Get up! Is your master in there?"
"Yes, ma'am."
When the queen came to the steps, a court lady had already come out and opened the curtain to invite her in.
"Queen..."
When the queen entered the pavilion, her complexion darkened. She glanced at the woman who got up to greet her, and said, "Even the eldest prince has noticed that the relationship between us is extraordinary, so you dare to talk about this palace in an open and aboveboard manner?"
She flicked her phoenix robe, sat down on the soft cushion, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, I would like to hear, you are so anxious, do you have any big news that you need to pass on personally."
Chu Jiyao's guess was right, the relationship between Concubine Chen and the Empress was indeed very obvious.
They are allies, old friends...
Concubine Chen's complexion changed slightly, but she was not angry, she approached courteously, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, there is indeed great news."
"What's the matter, tell me quickly?"
"Last night, a major event happened in Tai Hospital."
"It's too hospital?" The queen suddenly regained her spirits, and that was the focus of her attention during this time.
It's just that yesterday was an unusual day. As the queen of the main palace, she had a lot of things to do, so she didn't have time to arrange them.
"I heard that Xiao Ting was the only one in the hospital last night. I didn't hear anything happened to her."
Concubine Chen saw that the queen's face was slightly relaxed, so she relaxed, and said: "She is fine now, but she almost died last night."
"What the hell do you know?"
"She, she put that coffin down, and opened it, and took something out of it."
Concubine Chen's tone was very excited, God knows how long they waited for this day.
"What?" The queen stood up straight away, "You said she could really open that hanging coffin?"
"That's right." Concubine Chen nodded, "My people saw it with their own eyes, but they were too far away to see clearly what happened."
"What about that thing?"
Concubine Chen put away the joy on her face, and said, "I didn't get it."
"You don't think you want to take it all for yourself, do you?" The queen replied coldly, with a half-smile, and the evil intention at the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.
"What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing? It's just that the Ninth Prince appeared there at that time."
"Chu Li?" The queen snorted coldly and said, "It's him again."
"That's right, if it wasn't for him, my people would have succeeded long ago. With Xiao Ting's three-legged cat kung fu, there will be no place for burial."
Concubine Chen never cared about Xiao Ting's life or death.
"You mean to say that the thing is on the Ninth Prince's body."
The queen was silent for a moment, then calmed down, and motioned for Concubine Chen to sit down and speak.
"No, that thing should be in the hands of the emperor now. My people have been following the Ninth Prince and watched him enter the imperial study."
"He will take credit."
"Then it's up to you, the queen."
"No hurry, aren't there still a few hanging coffins?"
"Since Xiao Ting can solve this, those few are naturally out of the question, don't you plan to do it?"
Concubine Chen asked, looking at her with some doubts.
The queen smiled slightly, and said: "There are some things that have not been clarified, so we can't act rashly. Besides, they still need to take the initiative to take out that map."
Before leaving, Concubine Chen suddenly asked: "I'm curious, how did you know what was in the hanging coffin?"
The queen reprimanded without turning her head: "If you should know, I will tell you. If you shouldn't know, don't inquire about it."
It is said that Xiao Ting followed the Ninth Prince all the way, and after this chase, he chased to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Watching the Ninth Prince walk in helplessly, Xiao Ting was about to follow when she was stopped by a voice.
"nice girl… "
Ouch, it was her cheap daddy's voice.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Ting turned around, she saw her cheap father, Master Xiao Zhan Xiao, looking at her pitifully, very excited.
ran to her.
Xiao Ting was puzzled, "Father, isn't today the first day of the Lunar New Year? Why are you here?"
This is the Nine Princes' Mansion, what is he doing there
"Wait for you." Xiao Zhan looked Xiao Ting up and down, "Well, I'm not thin or fat, but this kid has grown a lot."
Xiao Ting looked at Xiao Zhan suspiciously, and said, "Father, why are you looking for me? Tell me something, I'm still busy!"
"Oh, it was your grandmother who asked me to wait for you and go home for a reunion dinner together."
"Hey, why did grandma think of me, but I'm not free now, I'm going to find the Ninth Prince."
"Don't, don't go." Xiao Zhan grabbed Xiao Ting's arm and refused to let her go.
"Xiao Xin is still in the palace, or you can take him back and do business for grandma." Xiao Ting was angry in her heart, the Ninth Prince actually left her there, and went to ask for credit with good things, and most importantly, she didn't let her take a look.
What is it that I dug out by myself.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ting planned to follow, didn't she see that Butler Mu went in
But her father, Comrade Xiao Zhan, was determined not to let go, and said, "Xiao Xin is already in the mansion, and it's up to you, hurry up and go away."
"Father, you let go. It's not like you don't know that your daughter and I don't get along with those women. We quarrel when we meet. Otherwise, grandma will be angry. I'd better not go back."
There is one more thing she didn't say, the problem is, she didn't know what she said, or didn't say anything, but her cheap grandmother was still angry.
She doesn't want indigestion.
"Let's go, the whole family is missing you."
Just as the father and daughter were arguing, a voice came from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
"Cousin, where are you taking me?"
A crisp voice came, so familiar.
Xiao Ting gave a light snort, then turned to look.
He saw a carriage parked at the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and a young girl was following him.
Delicate and agile, very lively, even better than Xiao Ting.
"is her."
Xiao Zhan wailed, he was afraid that the good girl would see this scene, but he still ran into him unexpectedly.
"Good girl knows her?"
Xiao Ting gave her father a white look, "Father, don't be ignorant, okay, this one is very famous in the imperial city, okay, the daughter of the Great General of Yandi, Jin Le."
"She also has another identity, the cousin of the Ninth Prince."
Saying that, Xiao Ting walked forward first, Xiao Zhan was too late to pull.
"Hi, my lord, what a coincidence, where are you going, give me a ride."
Sixth Miss Xiao winked at the Ninth Prince in front of everyone.
"The corner of the princess' eye is twitching?"
As soon as a certain incomprehensible wood opened his mouth, Miss Xiao Liu broke her kung fu immediately.
Is she winking, okay? Does this person have any common sense
"The corners of your eyes just twitched. This girl is going back to the Xiao Mansion, so you can take me with you."
The Ninth Prince hadn't spoken yet, a voice came from the carriage, "It's inconvenient."
