The Addicted Farmer's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 440: Involvement in the Palace (5)
"It's here, it's in front, it's not convenient for you to go in, so I'll wait outside for you to come out."

After walking for about half an hour, when Su Xiaofan was too tired to walk, the man leading the way stopped in front of a quiet and somewhat strange palace.

Su Xiaofan looked up and saw the three big gilt characters of Shuangxia Temple, which were particularly eye-catching even in the night.

"Isn't the noble concubine Duan the emperor's favorite concubine? Why is the place where he lives so deserted?" Shui Mei looked at the man vigilantly, her hands were already in her sleeves, and she was holding a dart tightly.

The man looked around and replied in a low voice: "You two don't know something, something happened recently, the emperor's love for Concubine Duan is no longer as good as before, and the concubine is not feeling well recently, the emperor specially ordered the concubine in the harem to Those people should not come here to bother you if they have nothing to do, and even some eunuchs and maids in the Shuangxia Palace have been ordered not to make any noise."

Shui Mei was still a little puzzled, but she still turned around and walked towards the heavy palace door, raised her hand and knocked lightly a few times.

"Who are you?"

Following the thick and dull sound of the door opening, a thin voice also came from within.

Su Xiaofan took a few steps forward and said: "This father-in-law, please pass it on to me, just say that Su Xiaofan came to the palace to meet the noble concubine Duan."

The people inside were stunned for a moment, then closed the door and trotted away.

After a while, there was another sound of trotting footsteps, and the door opened again: "You come with the little ones."

Going around the corridor, he stopped in front of a room full of the smell of the medicine. The little eunuch who led the way respectfully said: "Your Majesty, someone brought it here."

"Let them come in, you go and call the generals over."

A soft voice came from inside the house.

"Yes."

After the little eunuch left, the door opened suddenly, and the two beautiful young maids said with a smile: "Miss Su, please, you will come into the palace. Your empress is very surprised."

Su Xiaofan only nodded his head lightly, and silently followed the two court ladies.

"Is it Xiaofan? Come here and let me have a look." Jia Zhishuang leaned on the soft pillow, stretched out her soft hand limply.

"I've seen the imperial concubine and empress." Su Xiaofan didn't quite understand the etiquette in the palace, so he pulled Shui Mei to salute in a dignified way.

"Get up, there is no outsider here, so don't meet me." Jia Zhishuang smiled and took her hand, looked at her carefully for a long while, and then said out feelingly: "Your child is not with me." Your mother looks very similar."

Su Xiaofan also replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is almost exactly the same as my cousin."

The smile on Jia Zhishuang's face froze: "How is Zi Yun recently?"

Su Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, wondering if she knew about her cousin's current situation or not, before she could decide whether to tell her the truth, she heard two hurried footsteps, knowing who it was, Smiling and turned to look.

"How did Fan'er enter the palace?" Jia Zefeng asked loudly the moment he saw Su Xiaofan when he stepped into the room.

Jia Zhishuang also screened off the maids in the house at the right time, normally Xiaofan would not be able to enter the palace, but she suddenly appeared here, there must be something strange about it.

"The old lady asked me to come into the palace to deliver a message to you." Su Xiaofan directly stated the reason for his visit, thinking about telling them what the old lady wanted to say, and then leaving the palace. A place like the palace, It's better not to stay here all the time, and before asking Long to find his grandfather, it actually means that it is okay for him to tell his grandfather about these things, and maybe he will tell Mo, so he must not stay in the palace for too long time, otherwise Mo and the others will be in a hurry.

"mother?"

Jia Zefeng and Jia Zhishuang spoke almost simultaneously.

"Well, the old lady said that under the current situation, it is not suitable for you, uncle, to resign from the position of the general. After all, even if the imperial concubine is no longer in the harem, you still have two daughters who need to be protected. Besides, if King Qing cannot escape the imperial power You must stick to that position as his backing." Su Xiaofan condensed what the old lady said earlier, and said it all at once.

Jia Zefeng bowed his head in silence, the emperor stayed in the palace these days, he also thought about this matter to some extent, originally he planned to discuss these matters with his father after returning to the mansion, but why didn't he ask about it for so many years The mother of anything will suddenly care about these things, and let Xiaofan enter the palace in such a hurry to spread the word.

Jia Zhishuang frowned, "Why don't I go and talk to the emperor, let eldest brother and Xiaofan go back to the mansion together, although they said that they entered the palace smoothly, but I am a little worried, if they leave the palace... "

Su Xiaofan smiled and said: "Don't worry too much about the imperial concubine, the entrance to the palace is very smooth, and the exit from the palace should also be very smooth, nothing will happen."

"That's what I said, but I still feel a little worried in my heart." Jia Zhishuang said with worry in her eyes.

"Xiaofan, how about staying in the palace for a few days?" Jia Zefeng was also a little worried that she would go out alone, and her sister's statement was not reliable. The emperor made up his mind this time and would not let himself and Yuchen easily After leaving the palace, even if she went to tell the emperor, the emperor might not agree.

"That's not okay. If I don't go back as soon as possible, Mo and the others will go crazy, and as far as I am concerned, I don't want to stay in the palace for too long. I always feel that this huge palace gives people a kind of eerie feeling. illusion." Su Xiaofan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, maybe it was because he was timid in the first place, just now when he and the two of them were walking in that quiet alley together, they both felt that some creepy feelings would arise from time to time.

"If the young lady wants to stay in the palace for two days, I will go back and talk to the young master. I am somewhat worried about the person who brought us in just now." The general is here, so he will definitely protect her well. I always feel that if I return soon, something bad will happen on the way.

Su Xiaofan shook his head firmly: "No need, no matter what, I want to leave the palace as soon as possible, and there is one more thing, I don't know if you already know about it."

Jia Yuchen asked aloud, "What's the matter?"

Su Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Cousin is missing, it is said that she is in the hands of the crown prince, King Qing said to go to the crown prince's womb to check the situation, I don't know if there is any way to rescue cousin."

As soon as these words came out, apart from Su Xiaofan and Shui Mei, the other three people in the room were shocked.

Jia Zhishuang's lips trembled a few times, she braced her weak body, and asked softly, "Why is Yun'er in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince? Isn't she supposed to be in the silent city? How could she appear in the capital?"
