There was even a bit more anger in Li Zhaochen's eyes.

"Yao Jinshuang, since you are my concubine, you must abide by your duty as a concubine. If what happened today happens again in the future, I will not let you off lightly!"

After Li Zhaochen finished scolding him sternly, he snorted coldly and walked away angrily.

Yao Jinshuang looked at his leaving back, and what Li Zhaochen had just said repeatedly echoed in her mind. Her feet gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

Huan'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and comforted her with worried eyes: "My queen, please don't take it to heart. His Highness was just in a bad mood for a while, so he spoke louder. When His Highness looks back and feels better, he will naturally come to see you." You apologize..."

Yao Jinshuang shook his head, with a bit of sadness in his eyes, "No, his heart is full of that woman, and he doesn't have me in his heart at all..."

"Empress..." Huan'er hesitated, her eyes slightly red.

Just when Huan'er was about to say something more to comfort her master, a maid suddenly walked up not far away and hurriedly saluted Yao Jinshuang.

"My queen, I have finally found you. The princess is waiting for news from you."

Hearing this, Yao Jinshuang's face brightened slightly, and she quickly covered up her despair, and said seriously: "I'll go over right now."

Then he winked at Huan'er and motioned for her to follow him.

Huan'er came over understandingly and helped Yao Jinshuang walk forward.

The opera on the stage has come to an end, and the old princess is already restless under the stage.

Yao Jinshuang walked in, and she didn't know why it happened by chance. When she looked around, she saw Su Yuyi's figure.

She is sitting upright, and even from her back, you can see her slim shoulders and waist, which is very beautiful.

Yao Jinshuang's unmoving eyes flashed with a dark light.

Thinking of something important, Yao Jinshuang suppressed her inner unhappiness, walked to the old princess, and called softly: "Aunt."

This aunt's voice immediately attracted all the attention of the old princess, "Shuang'er, how is it? Have you found the person?"

Yao Jinshuang nodded and gave a faint smile, "Auntie, don't worry, we have found Mrs. Shen. She was in the pear forest just now and was crying because she was lost. Now I have asked someone to put her in the wing." , just waiting for my aunt to pass."

The old princess suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have always been the most at ease with your child when doing things. Please take me there quickly."

As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up.

Yao Jinshuang quietly pressed the old princess's hand and glanced at the crowd around her.

The old princess was the protagonist of the birthday banquet today. It would indeed be inappropriate if she left without saying a word.

The old princess suddenly realized, her voice was a little higher, and she apologized to everyone around her: "I am old and a little tired. I will go down and have a rest first. You all have a good meal and a drink. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality today."

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately came over to respond thoughtfully, telling the old princess to just rest in peace and not have to worry about everyone else.

The old princess apologized and thanked her, and followed Yao Jinshuang out.

After finally leaving the theater, the old princess could no longer hide her excitement and hurriedly quickened her pace. She did not forget to urge Yao Jinshuang: "Shuang'er, if you go faster, I have to hurry up." See that Mrs. Shen."

Yao Jinshuang said: "Aunt, Mrs. Shen will definitely not be able to run away. You might as well slow down and be careful."

The old princess was so anxious that she could not hear these words, "In which courtyard is Mrs. Shen?"

Yao Jinshuang thought for a while and replied: "I'm waiting in Jifu Hall."

The old princess felt relieved, so she ignored Yao Jinshuang and hurried towards the direction of Jifu Hall.But when she finally arrived at the door of the yard, she suddenly felt a little more timid, and her face showed a little more hesitation.

Yao Jinshuang turned her head slightly and said to the old princess: "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Madam Shen has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, the old princess didn't know what she thought of, and then she made up her mind and walked towards the end.

Jifu Hall is generally used by foreign guests.

No one sets foot in Prince Keqing's mansion all year round. Since Prince Qing's death, the old princess seldom walks around with people.

Therefore, the old princess built the inner room into a Buddhist hall on weekdays. When she had nothing to do, she would chant sutras and copy Buddhist scriptures inside to meditate.

Yao Jinshuang knew her aunt's habits, so the superior of Jifutang did not dare to let Shen Xiulan get involved and only arranged her in the dressing room nearby.

When the old princess pushed in the door, Shen Xiulan sat with her back to them, her thin figure looking very uneasy.

"Ms. Shen?" Yao Jinshuang called tentatively.

Hearing the movement behind her, Shen Xiulan subconsciously looked back.

The moment her eyes moved from Yao Jinshuang to the old princess, Shen Xiulan immediately made a move to kneel down and salute the old princess.

By coincidence, when she lowered her head, half of the jade pendant on her body was exposed, close to her chest.

Seeing the familiar jade pendant, the old princess' heart twisted. She quickly stepped forward and took Shen Xiulan's hand, "No need to be polite."

Shen Xiulan thanked them, raised her eyes and glanced at the faces of the old princess and Yao Jinshuang, then she did not dare to speak anymore and stood aside with her head down, like a harmless rabbit.

When the old princess saw her like this, her heart ached for no reason. She reached out and touched her dark hair and asked, "My child, I remember you told me a few hours ago that this jade pendant is your own. Is it?"

Shen Xiulan glanced at the old princess hesitantly and bit her lip, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Yao Jinshuang winked at her and said gently: "Whatever my aunt asks you, just answer it truthfully."

Shen Xiulan took a slight breath and then nodded slightly.

Seeing that she agreed, the old princess asked tentatively: "Since it is yours, do you remember what happened when you were a child?"

Shen Xiulan instantly became hesitant again.

"I only know that I was abducted when I was a child. Later, my parents took me in because they felt sorry for me. As for the specific things, I really can't remember clearly."

Shen Xiulan said, taking a breath and holding her forehead in distress.

Unexpectedly, after the old princess heard this, her eyes trembled slightly and she suddenly became excited.

"You, you said you were abducted when you were a child?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but grab Shen Xiulan's hand, so hard that her clothes deformed slightly.

A trace of fear flashed in Shen Xiulan's eyes, and she forced herself to answer: "Yes, Princess, you are..."

As she spoke, Shen Xiulan's eyes were reddened with pain, and she looked at Yao Jinshuang beside her for help.

Yao Jinshuang saw her, took a step forward and said gently: "Ms. Shen, don't be afraid."
