Chapter 229: Unspeakable
Concubine Kang disagreed: "You should not investigate this matter, so let your cousin go. You are about to get married. All you have to do is prepare for marriage and be the most beautiful bride!"
Chu Xinyu said, "Aren't my cousin sent by the emperor to provide relief? He can't separate himself, and this is the matter of the Marquis' Mansion, so it's inconvenient for my cousin to intervene."
As long as she knew Xuexiang's whereabouts, multiple people would prove it and prove that Yuan and Aunt Wang would be even more convincing. Her intuition told her that Madam Sun must also know something, and she would next have a good chat with Madam Sun.
Concubine Kang thought about it and felt that her words were reasonable, so she did not insist, "Okay, if you have anything to do, just say it, aunt is your backer, and I will support you if you have something to do."
Chu Xinyu asked her for help if she had something to do. Most of Mei's dowry had been greedy for Yuan, but the old lady Chu knew it, but she had never dealt with it. She was not convenient for her to come forward, so she had to ask Concubine Kang to help. She and Mei are sisters and are from Mei's mother's family, and no one is more suitable than her.
She expressed her thoughts and requests. Concubine Kang thought carefully for a moment and said she would cooperate with her. At this time, Aunt Lan, who was guarding outside, came to knock on the door and said that Lan Yi was back.
Lan Yi did not follow the palace last time and didn't know where Fengzao Palace was. Now she came here. When Chu Xinyu met Aunt Lan in Jingyang Palace, she asked her to find a palace maid to take Lan Yi to Fengzao Palace. The purpose of her doing this was to make people know that she had already gone to Fengzao Palace.
Lan Yi followed the palace maid in. Chu Xinyu waved to her, asked her to come forward, and then introduced to Concubine Kang: "Auntie, her name is Lan Yi, she is my guard and my friend. Lan Yi, she is my aunt."
Lan Yi saluted Concubine Kang, and Chu Xinyu taught her the etiquette of the palace. Concubine Kang smiled and called her up, then waved her to come forward, held her hand and said, "Thank you for taking care of Yu'er over the past two years. I'll ask you for her safety in the future."
Concubine Kang had heard Chu Xinyu talk about Lan Yi last time. She has been protecting her in Puling Temple for more than two years, so she has always wanted to meet this girl.
Lan Yi didn't expect Concubine Kang to be so easy-going and said, "This is what it should be. The girl has saved me. Rather than saying that I take care of her, we should take care of each other."
"No matter what, they are all strong children." Concubine Kang patted her hands, "Yu'er told me about your affairs. Don't worry, I will help you if there is an appropriate opportunity."
Then, Concubine Kang asked someone to bring food. Now after noon, she thought they had not eaten yet, so she let them eat enough and sent them out of the palace. Chu Xinyu took this to ask Lan Yi about what happened after she left Liuli.
Not knowing what he remembered, Lan Yi couldn't help laughing, "You did it?"
"What?"
"Prince Jin, he and a fake eunuch." Lan Yi smiled and said, "At that time, we took the Sixth Princess to Chaoyang Palace. When we were almost at Chaoyang Palace, we met another palace maid. Liuli asked the palace maid to take me back to find you and lead you to Fengzao Palace. I didn't say anything, so I followed the palace maid. Unexpectedly, she took me with me not to find you, but circled around the back garden, and wanted to knock me out when I didn't care. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't succeed by her, so I went back to find you."
She remembered the way the palace maid took Lan Yi to the place where she broke up with Chu Xinyu. From a distance, she saw Prince Jin's clothes being entangled by a eunuch, and there were some people around them. The emperor and Concubine Qi were also there, but Chu Xinyu was not seen.
Lan Yi didn't dare to go forward, so she hid beside her to observe the situation. After watching for a while, she roughly understood the whole process.
Prince Jin and the eunuch both sucked the ecstasy powder and forgot what happened half an hour ago. When he woke up, he saw himself hugging and the eunuch lying on the grass. Before he could figure out why he was here, the emperor, Concubine Qi and others happened to pass by and see this scene.
Not only did the emperor, Concubine Qi and others come, but the queen accompanied the queen to walk to the imperial garden for a walk. She happened to pass by and saw this scene and was frightened.
Prince Jin stood up and wanted to leave it clear. At this moment, the little eunuch also woke up. Somehow, she seemed to have not seen the people around her, and she pestered Prince Jin and left him unreasonable.
The emperor was very angry when he saw this, so he immediately scolded Prince Jin for a few words, and then left with his sleeves.
The empress dowager shook her head and said nothing, asking the queen to help her back. Concubine Qi ordered someone to pull the eunuch away and asked him what was going on.
Xiao Jingsheng couldn't explain it clearly, and so was the little eunuch. She was woken up by the palace maid with cold water, and was so scared that she was at a loss.
Lan Yi was afraid that if she would continue to eavesdrop, they would find out. When she was not paying attention, she quietly left and guided Chu Xinyu's way to Fengzao Palace to Liuli.
When she walked to the pavilion and turned left, she met the palace maid sent by Aunt Lan. The other party had never seen her, but Chu Xinyu had described Lan Yi's clothes to her, so she recognized her when she saw her.
Lan Yi still feels scared when she thinks of this incident. Concubine Qi and his son are too cruel!
If the girl did not see through their conspiracy at that time, she was bumped into by the emperor and the queen mother and pestered King Jin like a little eunuch, then Liuli would say that she was ordered by Concubine Qi to take her to Fengzao Palace. On the way, she met the injured Sixth Princess, leaving a palace maid to take the girl to Fengzao Palace.
If he was knocked out, the palace maid would run to tell others that the girl met the King of Jin here by chance, sent him and the palace maid away to seduce him.
Although the King of Jin looked cynical, he was never a person who had sex. Once others believed the words of the palace maids, no one would believe in the girl. For the sake of King of Jin's reputation, the one who sacrificed must be the girl.
Chu Xinyu used the trick to slap Xiao Jingsheng. She was not worried that they would confess her. When she and Xiao Jingsheng met him and the eunuch fainted, no one except her knew that she could insist that she had never seen Xiao Jingsheng.
As for Concubine Qi, even if they suspected it, there was no evidence. They could only eat yellow lotus in a mute manner.
Concubine Kang knew that Chu Xinyu was almost plotted this time. Although she was very angry, she wanted to crush Concubine Qi and his son to ashes. However, because Chu Xinyu fought back with such a way, she spoke up for her resentment and pretended not to know anything. She avoided her attack again, which was equivalent to admitting that the matter between King Jin and the little eunuch was done by Chu Xinyu.
As for the little eunuch, although Lan Yi did not say who it was, Concubine Kang knew the other party's identity. Chu Xinyu didn't know that she accidentally solved a love rival for herself.
After dinner, Chu Xinyu and Concubine Kang chatted for a while, then stood up and said goodbye to the house.
Concubine Kang ordered Eunuch Fu to take her out of the palace. As soon as she walked outside the palace gate, she saw Lin Chenyao coming out of the carriage. How could he enter the palace at this time? Confusion flashed by, and Chu Xinyu immediately asked Eunuch Fu to stop the carriage and then lifted up the curtains.
When Lin Chenyao saw her, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and walked over and said, "Are you okay?" When he heard that she was summoned into the palace by Concubine Qi, he was afraid that the other party would make things difficult for her, so he didn't dare to stop for a moment and got on the carriage and headed straight for the palace.
Chu Xinyu was about to ask him how he knew she had entered the palace, but then he thought of the monk, and she must have sent him a message, so he shook his head, "It's okay now."
Lin Chenyao frowned slightly, and then said to Eunuch Fu: "You can't report to your mother when you go back, and say I will send her back."
Eunuch Fu nodded.
Chu Xinyu came down and sat on Lin Chenyao's carriage. Lan Yi did not make two people's wicks, so she sat on the shaft.
In the carriage, there were only Chu Xinyu and Lin Chenyao. Lin Chenyao asked her to sit beside her, held her hand and said, "What the hell is going on? How could Concubine Qi summon you into the palace?"
...
In Chaoyang Palace on the other side, Concubine Qi sat in the main seat with a tense face and looked at Xiao Jingsheng in front of him, "Can you tell me what the hell is going on?"
Everything she arranged should be without any mistakes. How could a little eunuch suddenly run out? This little eunuch is no one else, but Princess Amin from Dongyu Kingdom.
Princess Dongyu Amin came to visit the Xu Dynasty with her brother half a month ago and planned to choose a husband in the Xu Dynasty. She was originally going to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but she didn't know that when she first came to the Xu Dynasty, she was sick and missed the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The emperor promised that she would find a husband for her. Now that she has been pestering Sheng'er, wouldn't she fall in love with him?
Princess Amin is willful, stingy, tough and difficult. I wonder if it is good or bad if she is entangled with such a woman?
"I can't explain it clearly, either."
Thinking of himself waking up in the garden and hugging the little eunuch, Xiao Jingsheng frowned. He only remembered that he received a secret letter from his mother's mother saying that Chu Xinyu had entered the palace, so he put down what he had in his hands. As for how he entered the palace later, he had no memory at all.
Today he did not bring his guards, and no one knew what happened after entering the palace by the coachman.
Concubine Qi said in a deep voice: "I have asked Princess Amin, but she doesn't know why she was there, and she insisted that you wanted to drug her."
Xiao Jingsheng knew what was going on. To be precise, Princess Amin lost control after smelling the aphrodisiac fragrance on his body.
After a moment of silence, he said, "What's wrong with Chu Xinyu?"
"The person staring at the movements of Fengzao Palace said that when she arrived at Fengzao Palace, her expression was very normal. She laughed and talked to Concubine Kang outside before entering the hall. She seemed to have no idea about this."
"What about her maid? When did she go to Fengzao Palace?" Xiao Jingsheng felt that this kind of thing might be related to Chu Xinyu. Her maid was good at checking the origin of this maid, but he couldn't find any useful information.
"The one she arrived at at the end of noon was led by the palace maid of Fengzao Palace, and the time when Chu Xinyu went to Fengzao Palace was similar to the time when the original palace and the emperor met you in the back garden. It was probably because she planned to rush to Fengzao Palace after rushing to Fengzao Palace."
"It's a pity that there is no evidence to prove that she is planning to do something about me." Xiao Jingsheng slowly clenched his fists and looked sinister. He underestimated this woman. No wonder Fu Yinghua was defeated by her. This woman is better at disguising than Fu Yinghua.
Concubine Qi sneered: "Even if there is evidence, so what? We suffered a secret loss this time. Moreover, your father is very angry, so is the Queen Mother. Recently, you should not rush to seek revenge from someone named Chu. Let others do the matter of discriminating between her and Lin Chenyao."
Xiao Jingsheng thought about it and said that his behavior today really disappointed his father. The most urgent task is to relieve him and not to let his position in his heart be worn out little by little.
