Miss Xiao Liu was still bouncing around in mid-air, without any mental preparation at all, the Ninth Prince let go of her hand suddenly.
With a click, Miss Xiao Liu really sat down on the ground, she was dizzy from the fall, and she was stunned.
Hong Shao and Lu Hua kept trotting behind, seeing this, they hurried forward to help her.
But Xiao Ting stopped her, she jumped up and chased forward.
"Chu Li, stop for me..."
There was a loud roar, and the sound spread far away, and people who passed by along the way and those with good ears heard it.
He thought to himself: I am afraid that only Miss Xiao Liu dares to call Ninth Prince by his name.
Hong Shao was about to chase, but was stopped by Lu Cai, "Don't chase."
"Green grass, let go, every time the princess enters the palace, something will happen, I must watch her."
It can be seen that in their eyes, Xiao Ting is indeed a troublemaker.
"With the prince following, I still want you to worry about it."
"Then, where are we going?"
Hong Shao looked around and found that he didn't know the way at all.
Green Grass raised her eyes and walked forward. After asking a little maid, she walked in one direction with the red spoon.
"Lucao, how do you know that the princess will go to Yaochi Palace?"
Hong Shao looked at Lu Cai curiously, a little puzzled, obviously they both grew up together and both ate the same food, why Lu Cai was different from her.
Lu Cai rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "Don't just know how to eat."
As expected by Lu Cai, Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince did come to Yaochi Palace.
Concubine Xiao Gui was very happy with her arrival, and the sickness on her face faded a little.
Xiao Ting snuggled directly in front of her couch, calling her aunt sweetly.
The first time she saw her, Concubine Xiao poked her on the forehead, "You girl always knows how to cause trouble."
Then she looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "It's troublesome for the Prince."
Xiao Ting hummed softly, "Auntie, why are you facing outsiders? I'm your niece, okay?"
"What is an outsider? Is the Ninth Prince an outsider? He is your husband."
Xiao Ting stuck out her little tongue, then pouted her mouth and looked at the Ninth Prince, made a face at him, then pulled Concubine Xiao's clothes, and said, "Auntie, don't scold me, I finally entered the palace, and you have to preach again."
"Okay, okay, I won't say, then tell aunt, where have you gone crazy these days?"
Concubine Xiao Gui was in a good mood, her face flushed a little, she seemed to be much more energetic.
"Little girl liar, she dared to run away from marriage, that is to say, the prince let you and doted on you. If it were someone else, you would have been divorced long ago."
Xiao Ting disagreed, "If it were someone else, this girl would have divorced him long ago."
She thought her voice was very low, but everyone present could hear it, and several maids in the palace stood with their heads bowed, all laughing smugly.
Hong Shao and Lu Huo covered their mouths, if they were in the palace, they would have laughed out loud, and they still have to pay attention to the impact when they come out.
Concubine Xiao Gui saw it in her eyes and knew that Xiao Ting was going too far, so she taught her a lesson, saying: "If other women can marry the Ninth Prince, who would run away?"
Xiao Ting thinks about it too, this girl looks like a god, even if she is married to him and looks at her like this every day, she is still in a good mood, maybe she can eat a few more bowls of rice.
"Okay, aunt, Ting'er knows she's wrong, so don't blame me."
"Do you really know what's wrong?"
Concubine Xiao looked at her suspiciously, the smile on her face showed that she didn't believe her.
Xiao Ting nodded, quickly changed the subject, and briefly talked about her recent experiences.
But she also picked up unimportant things and talked about them casually, especially some of the things she experienced were too weird, and she didn't want her aunt to know, in case she worried in vain.
Even so, Concubine Xiao remained speechless for a long time after listening.
"No wonder Xiaoyun said, you always like to pick things up and go back!"
Concubine Xiao Gui suddenly said such a sigh, which made Xiao Ting confused.
"I didn't pick up anything to go back!" That girl Xiaoyun knew nonsense.
Concubine Xiao patted her on the head and said, "You are heartless."
"Aunt..." Xiao Ting called her dissatisfied.
"I picked up one person once I went out. This time it's good. I picked up two more. Is my aunt wrong?"
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded, did she bring back someone every time she went out
Hearing Concubine Xiao mention this, she turned her head to look at Wang Ye, and blinked, as if she was asking him.
Ninth Prince nodded, "I deeply agree."
Agree with your sister.
"I didn't pick it up this time, it was brought back by the prince himself." Miss Xiao Liu suddenly remembered that she didn't bring the child back this time. At that time, she was already in a coma.
"Okay, even if it was brought back by the prince, does it have something to do with you?" The dead duck insisted.
"Even if it is, but my aunt and the others are so pitiful. Yaya's parents were killed, and then everyone in the village died. She has nowhere to go, and that scoundrel Cheng Yunyi wants to kill her."
Concubine Xiao looked at the Ninth Prince, who continued to nod, but did not look at her.
"If I don't let the prince bring her back, Yaya will definitely die. They even took me in, gave me food, clothes for me, and a man must repay her kindness. I must repay her!"
She looked for reasons by herself, but in fact it was because she wanted to keep Yaya, and she wanted to see what kind of physique that little girl was.
"Yes, you want to repay your kindness, but what about that young man?"
"Young man?" Xiao Ting looked at Ninth Prince again, "You picked up a young man?"
"His name is Luo Yunsheng, and he is the only survivor in the village except for Yaya."
Ninth Prince explained lightly.
Xiao Ting shook her head, indicating that she did not know her.
The subsequent conversations were almost all Xiao Ting's talking alone, while the Ninth Prince and the Concubine Guifei sat there and listened attentively.
Lunch was served at Yaochi Palace, and the emperor wanted to join in the fun when he got the news.
He and Concubine Xiao had been at loggerheads for a long time, and wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile, but when he came, Yaochi Palace was closed, and it was heard that Xiao Ting and Ninth Prince had also left.
The emperor hesitated again and again, but in the end he didn't let the head eunuch knock on the door.
The maid guarding outside the palace gate heard the movement and hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, the emperor has gone far."
"Understood, Bengong's health is ill, and I haven't seen any visitors these days, so keep the door closed."
In the queen's bedroom.
A court lady hurried in.
"My servant pays homage to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."
"Let's get up and talk, what's the progress?"
"Returning to your empress, you guessed it right, they did go to Yaochi Palace, and the servants came to find out a piece of news."
"Say it!"
The court lady told what happened in Yaochi Palace verbatim.
"When the Ninth Prince came back, he brought back two people."
"Do you know who?"
"The slaves don't know, I just heard what they said, it's a girl and a boy."
"Okay, you go down, you continue to stare at Yaochi Palace, I want to see what the hell is that Xiao Lingyue doing?"
"Yes, the servant will leave."
Behind the heavy bead curtain, Cheng Yunyi walked out with calm steps.
"The Empress is so powerful that she can even insert people into the impenetrable Yaochi Palace."
Obviously, the scene just now was enough for him to think of something.
The surprise in my heart can be imagined.
"Even you, a foreigner, in this palace can let you freely enter and leave the palace. What's more, I just put a person of my own in Yaochi Palace."
The queen didn't care, and asked back.
"That's the method of the empress, I have learned it a long time ago."
Cheng Yunyi sat down on the chair next to him, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart, this woman should not be underestimated.
"Stop talking nonsense, you have heard what happened just now, what do you think about this? Is the Ninth Princess lying?"
In front of Cheng Yunyi, the queen was never polite.
In front of the emperor, the well-educated and gentle empress was completely different.
The smile on Cheng Yunyi's face disappeared.
"There's nothing to guess. The Ninth Princess has always been outspoken. She said she has taken in two people. Then, one of them must be that little girl."
The queen glanced at him contemptuously, and asked, "You have been in close contact with that girl, can you see that she is unusual?"
"None of the spiritualists sent by the empress understand it, let alone me, who is just a mortal."
He meant something, but the queen was not angry, and said, "So you want to tell me that girl is not that important?"
Cheng Yunyi nodded.
Then he persuaded, "I think this matter can be discussed in the long run."
"Moreover, I conclude that their husband and wife dare not tell that little girl about those things, so as not to cause trouble for her. She really doesn't know anything about those things."
Otherwise, when the woman saw that little girl, she would not have wished to die, just to keep the secret and reassure him.
Then let that little girl go.
"At the moment, it's not easy for us to conflict with Chu Li, so I hope the Queen will not touch the Ninth Princess."
"What? You also feel compassion for that girl?" The queen sneered, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"I know it's easy for you to kill her." Cheng Yunyi straightened his expression.
"But I advise you not to touch her first. The life and death of that girl is minor, but the overall impact is major. I have never understood Chu Li, and I have never detected his bottom line."
The queen curled her lips and said contemptuously, "It's just that you are in charge of some hidden guards around the emperor. What's the big deal?"
She snorted, not thinking that Chu Li was so difficult to deal with, and at the same time she looked down upon Cheng Yunyi's cautiousness.
But she also understood that this is not the time to confront Chu Li, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to confront them head-on yet."
"Then what do I need to do next?"
Cheng Yunyi knew that she didn't listen at all, and he didn't try to persuade her any more, as long as she didn't cause trouble right now, that would be fine.
The queen tapped lightly on the table with her fingertips, took away the teacup, dipped her fingertips in some tea, drew a few strokes on the table, and then raised her phoenix eyes slightly to look at Cheng Yunyi.
"You choose yourself, you can start."
A refined smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Yunyi's mouth, and he said, "It's really time to start."
"Which one do you choose?"
