Chapter 132 Entering the Palace (Part [-])
Xiao Jinyue hurried back to the mansion, and met Xiao Haoqing who had just returned at the gate of the mansion.

From his angry and forbearing expression, Xiao Jinyue guessed that things might not go well.

"Brother, have you seen your parents? And what happened to Eldest Sister, she was whipped by the princess, was she seriously injured?"

Xiao Haoqing's face was livid, "I went to the palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager let me hang out at the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning for a long time, and then a nun came out to pass the word, saying that the Empress Dowager was tired and had already rested."

"What about mother, have you seen her? If it is father who resisted the decree, why did mother be detained in the palace and not allowed to return?"

Xiao Haoqing pursed her lips and remained silent for a while.

Xiao Jinyue couldn't help being anxious, "Brother, what time is it now, what can't you tell me? If you don't explain things clearly to me, how will I know how to deal with it next."

Xiao Haoqing originally didn't want her to know, lest she worry, and wanted to solve the matter by himself.But after entering the palace, he realized that no matter whether it was the court or the harem, the imperial power was overwhelming, and his white body could not protect his family at all.

He knew what Second Sister said was right, if he kept the matter from her, he might not know that she caused trouble.

"Mother, I have seen it. It is said that the queen mother accused her of not being strict in teaching daughters, and was punished to kneel in the courtyard of the Palace of Compassion. Without the order of the queen mother, I can't bring her back."

"Where's eldest sister?"

"The eldest sister was whipped by the princess and punished to kneel at the gate of the palace."

"Father was arrested and sent to the prison of the Criminal Ministry?"

"Yes, I came out of the palace and went to the Ministry of Punishment, but the guard at the gate said that no one could go in without the Queen Mother's order. I went to the Ministry of Punishment to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but I didn't see anyone, saying that he was out to handle the case. return."

Xiao Jinyue's heart sank to the bottom, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"Second sister, don't worry, we won't let you marry the son of the Duke of Zhen. He was poisoned and hunted down time and time again. Although he has a noble status, he is not suitable for you. The Duke of Zhen's mansion is no less than a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. , whoever marries him is afraid that he will be murdered and lose his life."

Xiao Jinyue was moved in her heart, and they all said that adversity reveals a true friendship, and time reveals people's hearts.Something happened to both her parents, and her elder brother didn't tell her to bow to power.

But the matter was caused by her, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to what happened to her parents.Besides, she inherited the original owner's body, and she promised to do her best to protect the original owner's family.

"Girl, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to announce you to the palace." Bai Guo ran in with a worried expression.The general and his wife never returned, and she was worried that something would happen to the girl if she entered the palace.

Xiao Haoqing also stretched out his hand to stop her, "Second Sister, don't go, just say you're sick, Eldest Brother will follow someone into the palace..."

Xiao Jinyue smiled and patted his arm to comfort him, "It's just right, I just wanted to enter the palace. The matter was caused by me, so let me solve it. Don't worry, brother, the queen mother will not do anything to me, they are nothing more than You just want me to take out the antidote and save the prince of Zhen Guogong. Don’t you feel relieved about my medical skills?”

Although I know that my second sister has good medical skills, but the son of Lord Zhen Guo has been poisoned one after another, and I don't know if she is sure to save him.

Xiao Haoqing still wanted to ask how the prince of Zhen Guogong was doing now, but the nun who came to announce the decree from the Palace of Compassionate Ning was already impatiently urging him, so he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth.

Xiao Jinyue followed the nuns of the Palace of Compassion and Peace to the gate of the palace. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw her elder sister Xiao Jinlan kneeling not far from the gate of the palace.

Because of kneeling for a long time, her body was already crumbling, her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely, and there was a trace of blood in the whip marks on her back.

Xiao Jinyue's anger rose immediately, and she walked towards Xiao Jinlan quickly, regardless of Nanny's objection.He took out a small bottle from his sleeve pocket, uncorked the bottle, and brought it to Xiao Jinlan's mouth, "Sister, hurry up and drink."

Xiao Jinlan was kneeling so dry, she didn't refuse, and drank gulps from the bottle. Although the bottle was just ordinary water, she felt that the water was more delicious than fine nectar.

Xiao Jinlan only thought that a bottle of boiled water was so delicious because she knelt for too long and was thirsty for too long, but only Xiao Jinyue knew that the water in the bottle was mixed with spiritual spring water by her.

The reason why Xiao Jinlan was beaten and punished to kneel was because of her fault in the final analysis. Xiao Jinyue was worried that she would hurt her knees after kneeling for too long, and she would suffer from the root cause of the disease, so she secretly mixed some spiritual spring water into it.

The nun of the Compassionate Ning Palace has been pampered and pampered for many years, and her legs and feet are not as happy as Xiao Jin's. When she came over, Xiao Jinlan had already finished drinking a bottle of water.

Xiao Jinyue took out the wound medicine and handed it to Bai Guo who followed, "You help the eldest girl into the carriage, give her the good medicine, and then send her back to the house."

After hearing this, Xiao Jinlan felt anxious, "Second Sister, what about you, aren't you going back?"

Xiao Jinyue patted her arm reassuringly, and helped her up, "Eldest sister, you go back first, I will go back after I enter the palace to meet the queen mother."

Seeing Xiao Jinlan being supported up, Mammy frowned dissatisfiedly, "Miss Xiao shocked the frame of the second princess and was punished to kneel at the gate of the palace. Without the princess' order, you may not be able to take her away."

Xiao Jinyue said coldly, "Even if my eldest sister shocked the frame of the second princess, she has already whipped my eldest sister and punished her to kneel for such a long time. Even if my eldest sister is at fault, these punishments are enough. Is it possible to still think about it?" Let my eldest sister kneel to death? The queen mother is the most compassionate person in our Yuankang Dynasty. Under her teaching, the second princess is not a cruel person, and she will not force her to pay for her life just because a minister's daughter startled her frame. compensation."

Even though Xiao Jinyue said against her will that the second princess was not a cruel person, but for Xiao Jinlan's sake, she didn't mind using these words to silence her mother first.

That nanny choked and couldn't refute Xiao Jinyue's words. If she insisted on making Xiao Jinlan continue to kneel, wouldn't that mean that the second princess is a cruel person and she must kneel to death before giving up?

Taking advantage of Mammy's silence, Xiao Jinyue quickly gave Bai Guo a wink, telling her to help Xiao Jinlan away quickly.

After entering the Compassion Palace, Xiao Jinyue immediately saw Mrs. Xue kneeling in the courtyard.Kneeling for a long time, Xiao Jinyue could tell that she was reaching her limit, but she couldn't give her the spiritual spring water, let alone help her up.

It's not that she doesn't want to help, Xue Shi was punished by the Queen Mother after all.Xiao Jinyue didn't know the Queen Mother's character, so she didn't dare to act rashly. If she made her own claims and angered the Queen Mother, it would be worse for Xue Shi.

Xue's eyes were full of worry when she saw her second daughter being proclaimed into the Palace of Compassion, but she was powerless and unable to stop it.

Xiao Jinyue smiled comfortingly at her mother, and followed her into the Palace of Compassion and Peace without being humble or overbearing.

After entering the Compassionate Ning Palace, she didn't look around, but walked a few steps forward without looking sideways. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the majestic Empress Dowager sitting high on the phoenix seat, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to salute.

As expected, the Empress Dowager did not shout, and Xiao Jinyue just quietly maintained a kneeling posture.
