Chapter 227
Xiao Jinyue burned the note that Chi Yan brought back, and then ran through the recent events in her mind.

The four princes had accidents one after another, the emperor fell ill, and had been absent from court for a few days.

Her father Jin Wang entered the palace and did not see the emperor for several days, but the eunuch who came to the Palace of Compassionate Peace yesterday said that her father returned home alone after seeing the emperor.

Xiao Jinyue felt uneasy, if her father really returned home after seeing the emperor, then that's all.She was afraid that her father had never seen the emperor at all.

Also, this time she and Princess Jin were called into the palace, but they couldn't see the Queen Mother for a long time.She had no doubts about this at first, but thought that the queen mother was not feeling well, so she didn't see them.

But now it seems that things are not easy.

In addition, the emperor suddenly wanted to hold the Shengshou Festival for the queen mother in advance, and the time was set for the day after tomorrow.Now it seems that this holy birthday festival is probably a hidden mystery.

Although she couldn't figure out the specific conspiracy of the people behind it, palace banquets have always been the most accident-prone.Combined with the recent events, one carelessness will not only cause an accident between her and Princess Jin, but also what kind of bloody storm will be set off behind the scenes.

Time was running out, Xiao Jinyue didn't have time to think, took out the rice paper, and wrote again.

Wrote two letters and let Chi Yan quietly take them out of the palace again, one to Lu Chengting and the other to her father Xiao Pingyuan.

Next, Xiao Jinyue pretended to be nonchalant and followed her mother and concubine to organize the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning several times during the period.

But every time the court ladies came out to spread the word, they used various reasons to prevaricate them, and even Princess Jin began to feel that something was wrong.

The Empress Dowager couldn't see her face and wanted to take Xiao Jinyue back to Prince Jin's mansion, but Concubine Zhuang Xian sent a maid to spread the word that she was not feeling well and entrusted Princess Jin and Xiao Jinyue to take care of all the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

The two couldn't escape, so they had no choice but to stay and continue organizing the birthday banquet.

After Chi Yan delivered the letter and came back, Xiao Jinyue thought about it, felt uneasy, and asked him to go to the Jin Palace, but came back and told her that Chi Yan had overheard the discussions of the servants of the Jin Palace. After that, he never returned home.

Xiao Jinyue's heart sank, and while it was dark, she asked Chi Yan to quietly help her find out the situation in the palace.

Chi Yan nodded in response, went out for a walk quietly, and came back to tell Xiao Jinyue that King Jin was imprisoned in the sky prison. He seemed to be injured and unconscious.

Xiao Jinyue took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water to Chi Yan, and asked him to quietly send it to King Jin, and then asked him to continue to inquire about the situation of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Zhao was lazily lying on the beauty's couch, letting her maid pinch her shoulders and beat her legs.

A court lady opened the beaded curtain and came in to report, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has sent someone again, saying that you are asking you to intercede with the emperor for him, and release him earlier."

Concubine Zhao raised her brows, and immediately sat up from the beauty's couch, and shouted angrily, "What an idiot, let someone go back and tell the First Prince to stay in the mansion and cultivate his morals. If he dares to make trouble again, don't even think about it again." Out."

The court lady who came in to report was trembling, she didn't understand why the imperial concubine loved the eldest prince the most before, so why she is so cruel to him now.The eldest prince was imprisoned by the emperor, and the imperial concubine did not think of a way to release the eldest prince as soon as possible.

Now the four princes are acting as the emperor's supervisor of the country, and the court is full of praise for him. If this continues, there will be no chance for the eldest prince to ascend to that position.

Although she was puzzled by what the imperial concubine was doing, the maid did not dare to speak out, and could only nod her head submissively.

On the other hand, Nanny Wei, the nanny standing aside, stopped the court lady, "Go and tell the people that the emperor has been in poor health recently, so let the eldest prince study hard in the mansion. After a while, the emperor's anger subsides, and the empress will think about it." Find a way to intercede for the eldest prince."

Concubine Zhao frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Nurse..."

Mother Wei waved her hand to make the people waiting around her retreat, and then she said, "Mother, I know what you are thinking, but now is the critical moment, so nothing can go wrong. Eldest Prince, please bear with me for a while." Bear with it."

Concubine Zhao sneered, "Such an idiot, I didn't know he was in the mansion, and fooled around with the maids in the mansion every day. If it wasn't for the sake of getting rid of the second prince, I would have wished to abolish him. That's all, For the sake of raising him, I will let him enjoy himself for a while."

Seeing that she had been persuaded, Mother Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, they probably want to take advantage of the Shengshou Festival to make a move. However, in the past two days, Jin Wangfei and Zhen Guofu Shi Zifei have not seen each other in the Palace of Compassion. When it comes to the Empress Dowager, the old servant is worried that they will become suspicious..."

Concubine Zhao's eyes lit up, "I finally couldn't help it, that's great, I've been waiting for this day for too long. However, it seems that we still have to help them."

Concubine Zhao took Madam Wei to the palace where Princess Jin lived.

In the Hall of Compassion, a maid hastily opened the bead curtain and went in to report, "Empress Empress, the imperial concubine is going to the palace where Princess Jin lives."

When the sickly queen heard this, her expression turned ferocious, "Hmph, Zhao Feiyan, that bitch, is this trying to take advantage of the credit for helping to organize the queen mother's birthday banquet, so that the emperor will release the eldest prince?

She is dreaming!Killed my child, I will definitely not let her get what she wants. "

Concubine Jin is arranging the work of the nanny below. As soon as Concubine Zhao came in, she hurriedly said apologetically, "Concubine Jin, thank you for staying in the palace with Concubine Shizi to organize the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I just went to the Palace of Compassion, Queen Mother I heard about this, but I am full of praise for you, and said that I did the right thing when I hired you as a concubine for the King of Jin."

Concubine Jin hurriedly said modestly, "Usually in the palace, the Empress Dowager is all thanks to having you serve me. I just took advantage of the birthday banquet to show my heart. It can't compare to what you have paid."

Xiao Jinyue frowned invisibly. She and her concubine went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning several times but didn't see the Queen Mother. Did Concubine Zhao see her as soon as she went?
Xiao Jinyue looked at Zhao Guifei calmly, and asked with joy, "The imperial concubine just went to see the queen mother? Is her health better now?"

"I just came from the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The imperial doctor just helped the Queen Mother to see her. She said that she is already better. But I still need to stay in bed to rest, so as not to be seen by the civil and military officials and married women who came to the palace to celebrate her birthday on the day of the birthday banquet. The Empress Dowager is not feeling well, which has affected the celebration of the birthday banquet..."

"I just went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning and didn't see the Queen Mother, but my sister saw her right away. You are lucky."

Xiao Jinyue didn't expect Concubine Zhao Gui, who had been staying behind closed doors all this time, to come suddenly, and even the queen came too.

But she didn't say anything, she just quietly watched the sick queen and the glamorous concubine come and go, fighting with each other.

When Xiao Jinyue saw that Princess Jin wanted to speak out, she quietly pulled her sleeve and stopped her.

The eldest prince killed the second prince, and the empress and concubine had become a deadly enmity, and no one could stop them.

It was a good time for the two to quarrel, let her take the opportunity to see how many ghosts and monsters are hiding in the palace.
