The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 73

Bai Min'er took out a large ingot of silver from her purse and put it in her hand. The nanny's eyes lit up immediately, and she took the silver in a hurry, and her attitude became more flattering. Bai Min'er saw her greedy look, and her eyes were full of disdain.

Unfortunately, she didn't see a flash of light in the nanny's eyes as she lowered her head, and it was gone in a flash!

And Yang Qian, who was standing behind Bai Min'er, was full of smugness on her face, and looked at Bai Min'er with great contempt.

Jingyi has been paying attention to Yang Qian since she appeared. Such a beautiful woman with a humble background but a variety of styles, her future marriage may have been arranged long ago. She once heard from her cousin that Yang Qian was praised as the most beautiful woman in the capital! It seems that her future husband will definitely be of great help to the second prince's great cause.

Jingyi shook her head sympathetically. The beautiful woman is also a pitiful pawn! Her life has long been doomed! I just don't know if she knows it herself. It's well known that Yang Qian has feelings for the eldest prince of Concubine De. But the eldest prince is not tempted by her beauty. It must be said that the eldest prince is a very determined and scheming man!

Jingyi also heard that the two of them have always been at odds with each other. Why did they get together today, and it seems that they are talking happily? Seeing that Bai Min'er got up and left, and Yang Qian followed closely behind, could it be that these two are going to play some tricks again?

Jingyi was about to follow to see, but was grabbed by Cui Qianqian, who smiled and said, "I thought you were hiding somewhere? It turns out that you are hiding in this chrysanthemum garden. If you are seen by your aunt later, she will be careful to preach to you again."

Jingyi saw that it was them, so she was not anxious. "Sister Cui is really amazing. You can find me hiding here! You really have a sharp eye!"

The four of them came to a red chrysanthemum while playing and making noises. Jingyi looked around. It was a distance from the banquet. Although she could still see them, she could not hear their voices clearly.

A maid dressed in palace dress came over, bowed to the four people, and said, "Excuse me, who is Miss Gu? The Queen has summoned me to see her in Yilan Palace."

The four people were stunned and looked at each other.

Gu Yu stepped forward and bowed to the maid, saying, "I am Gu Yu from General Weiyuan's Mansion. May I ask what the Queen has ordered?"

The maid lowered her head and said, "I don't know. I am just here to convey the Queen's oral instructions. Miss Gu, please follow me." After saying that, she turned sideways and motioned Gu Yu to go with her.

Gu Yu turned to Jingyi and said, "Yiyi, go tell my mother that the Queen summoned me to Yilan Palace to see her. Please don't worry."

Jingyi nodded, and saw Gu Yu go east with the maid.

Cui Xixi whispered, "It's strange. Aunt Queen rarely summons ladies from outside the court to Yilan Palace. What happened today?"

After hearing this, Jingyi paused and asked, "Sister Cui, does the Queen dislike Yilan Palace?"

"Oh, not really. The Yilan Palace is in the imperial garden. It is actually like the flower hall in our mansion, but it is several times larger than the ordinary flower hall, and there are two side halls. The concubines in the palace or the princes and princesses will go there to rest for a while when they are tired of visiting the garden. Aunt Queen has always complained that Yilan Palace is too noisy. In addition, it is unreasonable and not solemn to summon ladies from outside the court there, so the Queen rarely summons ladies from outside the court to Yilan Palace."

"Maybe the Queen is tired of appreciating chrysanthemums and rests there." Liu Wan'er smiled.

"Yes, maybe someone is tired and resting there." Jingyi's voice was very light. If you don't look at her lips, you will almost think she said nothing.

Cui Xixi said again: "In the past, the Queen also summoned me and Min'er there, but she just asked us to accompany her to relax." Jingyi stopped, "I am a little worried. Why did the Queen only summon my cousin at this time? I want to go and see." "You are crazy. If the Queen is resting there, be careful to punish you for disturbing the phoenix carriage!" Liu Wan'er said. Jingyi shook her head, "I'm not really looking at it, I'm just watching from a distance. If the queen's carriage is really here, I will naturally wait outside. It will also prevent my cousin from not being able to find us later." Cui Xixi thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you. After all, I'm the queen's niece. Even if there is something wrong, they dare not do anything to me." Jingyi saw Cui Xixi's face full of concern, thinking that she really wanted to help her, so she nodded and said to Liu Wan'er, "Sister Wan'er, please tell my aunt that the queen invited my cousin to Yilan Palace and asked her not to worry." Liu Wan'er nodded, then raised her legs and hurried to Liu's side. Jingyi and Cui Xixi followed the direction of the nanny just now. Cui Xixi suddenly said, "No, this road is not the way to Yilan Palace, but to Jingyang Palace where the eldest prince used to live." "What?" Jingyi thought to herself, it's bad. I'm afraid that the nanny is falsely conveying the queen's order. The eldest prince has not yet reached the age of twenty, so he cannot leave the palace to open his own residence. Now he only lives in the front court, which is equivalent to the front yard of the Hou Mansion. This Jingyang Palace is the palace where the eldest prince lived before he was seven years old. Sometimes he would pay respects to Concubine De or take care of the sick, and he would still stay in Jingyang Palace if it was late.

"Sister Cui, you are familiar with the roads in this palace. Do you know if there is any shortcut to Jingyang Palace?" Jingyi asked anxiously.

Cui Xixi's bright eyes turned, and she pulled Jingyi and said, "Follow me."

However, Gu Yu followed the nanny who delivered the order and walked a long way, but still did not see the shadow of Yilan Palace, so she asked, "May I ask how long it will take for the nanny to arrive?"

The nanny said without turning her head, "It's in front. Miss Gu, please walk faster, don't let the master wait anxiously."

Gu Yu was walking and looking around, and did not hear anything wrong in the nanny's words. The nanny just said 'Master', not 'Empress'!

Gu Yu arrived at the gate of Hechu Palace and looked up: "Jingyang Palace? Isn't this the palace of the eldest prince in the past? Why did you bring me here, nanny?"

The nanny smiled, and before she spoke, Gu Yu smelled a fragrance, felt dizzy, and fainted on the ground.

At this time, two young eunuchs came out from nowhere and hurriedly carried Gu Yu into Jingyang Palace.

The nanny looked around and turned to the direction of Yilan Palace.

After she left, Jingyi and Cui Xixi flashed out from a corner. The two looked at each other and quickly ran into Jingyang Palace.

Jingyi was anxious at this time. When she entered the Jingyang Palace, she understood everything. Although it was the palace where the eldest prince lived before, it was also necessary for palace people to clean and guard it, but now the Jingyang Palace was quiet and the palace gate was wide open. Not to mention the guards, even a eunuch could not be seen!

Jingyi's palms were sweating. It was obvious that the eldest prince had planned this long ago! The palace gates were wide open, and the people who were watching the fun would naturally rush in and catch the adulterers in bed! This was to forcibly break up the engagement between my cousin and the prince of England! In this way, my cousin's reputation would be ruined, and she could only marry the eldest prince as a concubine, and she would not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life, and could only obey the eldest prince! And for the sake of this only daughter, my uncle would definitely move closer to the eldest prince's faction! What a vicious plan! My cousin is only thirteen years old this year! And she is going to be tarnished by this eldest prince! He is worse than an animal!

Jingyi's mind was turning rapidly! Cousin, I will definitely find a way to rescue you.

At this time, Gu Yu had been placed on the eldest prince's bed, and she was still unconscious and unconscious.

Jingyi and Cui Qianqian quickly sneaked in and found Gu Yu.

But Gu Yu was unconscious, how could two powerless little girls move her away? Jingyi thought about it, took out the bottle of pills that Qingtian gave her last night, took out a pill for Gu Yu to take, and used her little hand on her chest to help her breathe, so that she could swallow it as soon as possible.

Cui Xixi said, "This won't work. Wait, I'll call someone." After that, she ran out quickly. Jingyi saw her running out, but did not stop her.

Gu Yu also opened her eyes at this time, knocked her head with her hand, frowned and asked: "Where is this? Yiyi? Why are you here?"

Jingyi saw that she woke up, and hurriedly said: "Don't say so much, let's go."

"Your Highness, it's done. The servant will send someone to arrange it." The voice of a eunuch came, accompanied by the footsteps of several people.

"Okay, go down. Remember to make a big fuss, so that the chance of success will be greater." After the eldest prince gave the order, he pushed the door and entered the main hall.

At this time, Jingyi and Gu Yu were in the bedroom on the left. They hid behind the curtain between the main hall and the bedroom, not daring to move!
