Not only others say, Xiao Ting has always known that she is a kind of heartless person who doesn't care about anyone.
She has always demanded herself according to her own principles.
Or she was deliberately avoiding some things.
The ten years of her previous life have not changed her.
It turned out that after he came to this time and space, he only experienced a few years, so many things happened, and her mentality had already changed.
There is also nostalgia and nostalgia for the people and things here.
There are people you want to protect, things you want to do, and people you want to be with for a lifetime.
The main thing is that she has real emotions.
No matter what, she couldn't do what her master did, ignoring all the emotions in the world.
But when she heard Qian Miao say that when the Ninth Prince had an accident, Xiao Ting was in a very urgent mood, but she controlled herself not to reveal it.
Chu Yun was taken away by Cheng Yunyi.
Xiao Xin was under her nose again, and she was left by all these almost at the same time. I don't know what happened? It seemed like her world suddenly became strange.
Xiao Ting finally got used to the world she was familiar with, and planned to live happily, but unexpectedly, earth-shaking changes took place.
Especially Xiao Xin has become the so-called young master, the identity of Seventh Aunt, and what role does father play in it
Xiao Ting didn't have time to tidy up all of this, no, it should be said that she couldn't tidy it up.
That's why when I saw Concubine Xiao Gui again, I lost my composure like this.
His tone was full of urgency and anxiety, and even his eyes changed.
However, when Concubine Xiao saw her like this, her eyes became more gentle.
Without saying a word, he watched her narrate her experience.
Xiao Ting finally finished all the things, the maid who was beaten next to her had already handed warm water, after Xiao Ting finished drinking, she felt something was wrong.
The way these two looked at her was really weird, just like a mother looking at her daughter.
I bother!
Xiao Ting quickly spurned herself in her heart, what was she thinking.
"Auntie, why do you keep staring at me?"
She doesn't ask the little maid, it's embarrassing.
"Auntie is watching, when I promised you to the Ninth Prince, I chose the right person."
Concubine Xiao Gui looked at Xiao Ting very relieved, her eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past, and instead there was a calm atmosphere.
With nine points of sincerity and one point of ridicule.
"Auntie, I'm talking to you about business, okay?"
Xiao Ting looked at Concubine Xiao with a bit of reproach.
I feel a little embarrassed myself.
"For us women, the most important thing in this life is to be in harmony with my husband. My aunt is really happy for you when she sees you like this."
Concubine Xiao Gui patted Xiao Ting's hand and said happily.
"Auntie..." Xiao Ting felt extremely awkward, but warm in her heart.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!"
Concubine Xiao put away her teasing words, and said seriously, "Actually, the Ninth Prince came to see me!"
"when?"
Xiao Ting herself didn't realize the eagerness and joy in her tone.
"Half a month ago."
Xiao Ting did not interrupt Concubine Xiao, and listened to her narration.
In fact, after the Ninth Prince separated from Xiao Ting, the first thing he did when he came to the imperial city was to see Concubine Xiao.
"Some people know that the Ninth Prince has obtained the national seal. They are invited here this time, and there may be other meanings."
Concubine Xiao's words were obvious.
The rulers of the Five Kingdoms and Ten Lands, including the Empress Dowager of the current empire, are probably determined to obtain the Imperial Seal, but the Ninth Prince has no intention of handing it over to her at all.
"It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed!"
In the huge Yaochi Palace, there are only Concubine Xiao and the maids who serve beside her.
However, Concubine Xiao Gui did not feel any displeasure, her words were brisk, revealing wisdom and shrewdness.
It turned out that when the Ninth Prince first entered the palace, he handed over the Imperial Seal to Concubine Xiao Gui for safekeeping before he did other things.
As for Emperor Renxiao, he was also brought out of the palace by the Ninth Prince with the help of Concubine Xiao Gui.
"Is the emperor sick? It is rumored that he has been sick for nearly a year."
Xiao Ting asked, "Emperor Ren Xiao said that he was sick and could not go to court for a long time, but no one knew the real situation.
"He wasn't sick, he was just unconscious."
Concubine Xiao Gui sighed, patted the back of Xiao Ting's hand, and said earnestly.
"If my guess is correct, they should have gone to Licheng."
What
If this is the case, Xiao Ting is really depressed to death.
She rushed from Licheng to the imperial city, in order to meet the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince took the emperor to Licheng, such a blunder, really funny.
"According to what he said, there is a spiritual doctor over there who might be able to save the emperor's life. He wants to try it."
This is what the Ninth Prince casually said to Concubine Xiao.
If there is no other way, the Ninth Prince will put aside everything in the imperial city and save Emperor Renxiao first.
"That's right, they should be looking for Mr. Xu."
After getting an affirmative answer, Xiao Ting thought about it and got up to leave.
"I'm going back, take care, I'll be back to see you soon."
"Why are you so anxious, kid? Since you're here, stay well. Didn't the Empress Dowager leave you in the palace for a few days?"
The little imperial concubine knew that her niece was always in a hurry and didn't care about anything, so she had to explain it clearly to her.
"You should know that since the news that the National Seal is in the hands of the Ninth Prince has spread, everyone's eyes will be fixed on him. Now that the Ninth Prince has not been found, and they know that you have come to the Imperial City, everyone's eyes will be on you right now. If you leave them, they will leave with you."
She really wanted to refute, but the reason was the same, and she had nothing to say.
"Then they see that I am not moving, maybe they will do something?"
She still wanted to struggle to the death.
However, Xiao Ting also understood that it was impossible for a living person like her to escape from the imperial city without the sight of so many people.
"These people were brought here by the Empress Dowager. If that's the case, she will keep you in the palace, so you can eat, drink and have fun, and let her handle the rest!"
Xiao Ting thought about it, and now she had no choice but to do so.
"Then what about Xiao Shi and Xiao Yun?"
She is quite worried about these two children, so she can't just leave them alone.
"Right now, the biggest chess game in the world is in the imperial city, and those ghosts and snakes will naturally gather around. You don't have to worry about them, they will meet soon."
These few days Xiao Ting lived in the palace, the Empress Dowager chose a place for her to live alone, but Xiao Ting was not happy and insisted on living with Concubine Xiao.
The euphemism is that I want to spend more time with my aunt.
He also personally went to the door to take the letter from the Empress Dowager, and went to the Imperial Hospital to invite all the imperial doctors.
However, these imperial physicians probably know Concubine Xiao's body, how many more times should they be treated? Still the same result.
The final result was naturally that Miss Xiao Liu scolded all the imperial physicians, and then drove them out of Yaochi Palace.
"Auntie, I trust you in everything else, but your body..."
In the past few days Xiao Ting has borrowed a lot of palace people from the Empress Dowager, and the days of Yaochi Palace are showing signs of being more prosperous than before.
"Don't you believe my aunt? I know my own body, so don't talk about it anymore."
At the moment the two of them are eating at the dinner table.
Xiao Ting was very depressed when she heard the words and poked the dishes on the plate.
She always felt that her aunt was hiding something from her.
Not just my aunt, it seems that everyone has something to hide from her.
"Chu Li doesn't tell me anything, and my aunt doesn't tell me. Even Xiao Shi has her own little secret. You all think I'm stupid and don't tell me anything."
"fool… "
Concubine Xiao did not deny it, but just patted her on the head.
This made Xiao Ting even more depressed.
"No one dislikes you. Most of the time, the less you know, the better for you."
"Of course I know. Auntie wants to say that the more you know, the sooner you will die."
Xiao Ting continued poking at the plate.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her appearance before, but now she felt very disturbed. Everyone knew what it was like, but everyone kept it from her.
It's also called protection.
Well, well, there are too many saints around her.
Before the meal was finished, the Empress Dowager over there asked someone to send a message to let Xiao Ting go over.
Xiao's aunt and nephew looked at each other.
"Auntie, what do you think the Empress Dowager wants me to do when she summons me this time?"
"The envoys from the other four countries and ten places have already arrived. They have hosted a banquet in the palace for the past two days, and now they summon you. I am afraid that someone has taken the lead."
Concubine Xiao Gui got up and said while helping Xiao Ting straighten her collar and sleeves.
"What does Auntie mean, they will force me to reveal Chu Li's whereabouts?"
"Aren't they stupid? This is the imperial palace of the empire, and I am the Ninth Princess of the empire, so they are worthy to threaten me?"
Wanting to look like those people are fools, Xiao Guifei laughed.
"Yes, that's what you say if they ask you."
Even if Xiao Ting doesn't understand the national conditions and ignores state affairs, she also knows that the empire is not the strongest among the five countries and ten places, so she can't say such words.
But my aunt's expression didn't seem to be joking at all.
"Well, let's go, don't tell everyone to wait."
The state banquet is held in the Promise Hall.
When Xiao Ting entered the hall, she saw that it was crowded with people.
After a rough scan, she didn't recognize most of them, but all the princes including the first prince and the third prince of the empire gathered together.
This is really unprecedented.
According to Xiao Ting's knowledge, apart from the eldest prince who is in charge, no one can be seated at this state banquet.
She was a little confused about what the empress dowager meant, but she scanned around, but didn't find this old woman.
"The Ninth Princess is here!"
Xiao Ting had only walked a few steps, when behind her was the sound of a male duck, which spread far away, almost shattering her eardrums.
At the same time, brushing, brushing, many eyes focused on her body, like wind blades, wishing to cut away every inch of her body and look directly at the internal organs.
Xiao Ting is not a sensitive person, but at this moment, she deeply understands the feeling of being watched by everyone.
Of course, what attracts everyone's attention is not her admiration and admiration, but Ling Chi.
"You are the Ninth Princess Xiao Ting?"
