Chapter 390 Pillow Whisper

Princess Yuqing ran away with her daughter.

He left a message before leaving.

"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, you still have to investigate thoroughly. Don't let a wanted criminal sneak into the mansion and pretend to be your concubine. If you don't know what Jiang Zijin looks like, I can have someone send you a few portraits."

Prince Chen's face turned pale, he clenched his fists and said nothing.

Jiang Zijin hid beside King Chen, pursed her lips, clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, and the stinging pain in her palms reminded her all the time.

Stay calm and stay cool.

"Thank you, Royal Sister. I know her. I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes." Princess Chen said this with gritted teeth, staring at Jiang Zijin.

He looked her up and down, not even sparing a single hair.

Is this person really Jiang Zijin?

She must have been blind to have considered Jiang Zijin as her close friend.

But this woman actually took advantage of her, deceived her, and used her name to spread rumors about Lu Zhiyun.

This person is scheming, selfish and vicious, and is a disaster.

You must not stay with the prince.

She earnestly advised Prince Chen, "Your Highness, Concubine Lan is Jiang Zijin, the wanted criminal. You must not allow her to stay in the mansion any longer. She will only bring trouble to you. Please listen to my advice. Jiang Zijin is a nuisance and must not be allowed to stay."

Prince Chen shook off her arm and said, "Stop talking nonsense. This is not the place for you. Go back."

Princess Chen still refused to give up and continued, "Your Highness, don't you think about the fate of everyone around Jiang Zijin? Her grandfather's family and her mother are all dead! Even her half-brother has become a monk. And then there's Zhou Mu, a young man obsessed with her. He was once so talented, but now he's stopped studying and drinks all day, clamoring to become a monk. He's completely ruined."

"Your Majesty..."

"Pa..." With a crisp slap, Princess Chen was slapped to the ground.

"Shut up, someone come and take the princess back." Prince Chen was furious.

He wouldn't allow anyone to humiliate Jin'er like this.

Looking at Jiang Zijin, who was crying in his arms, his eyes were full of tenderness, but he refused to even glance at Princess Chen.

Princess Chen covered her face and sneered, "Your Highness, even if you kill me now, you can't shut Princess Yuqing up. Believe it or not, if you don't hand this woman over, the news that your concubine has become a wanted criminal will spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and even reach the ears of my father."

Since you won't listen to my advice, let's just die together in the gutter.

Princess Chen is a little naive, but she is not stupid.

Although I was still a little unsure just now, now I see King Chen's reaction.

The person under the mask is undoubtedly Jiang Zijin.

People outside say that Jiang Zijin ran away from San Sheng Temple recently.

But she felt that maybe he had already run away.

Or maybe the dancer who was disfigured for saving the prince was just trying to cover up her tracks in order to keep Jiang Zijin by her side openly.

That's ridiculous.

Fortunately, she had previously thought that this girl was beautiful and kind-hearted, and she liked to talk to her privately whenever she had nothing to do.

Think about it now.

Maybe she has already been in cahoots with the prince.

Princess Chen collapsed on the ground, smiling bitterly with tears in her eyes.

"Stupid woman, which side are you on? The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you." King Chen scolded.

Have Princess Chen taken back to the palace and placed under house arrest.

Only at this moment did he realize that he had been tricked by Princess Yuqing.

Jiang Zijin had not recovered from his illness yet, and with this stimulation and anxiety, his legs went weak and he collapsed directly into King Chen's arms.

Prince Chen didn't care about anything else. He picked her up and walked quickly towards the bedroom. "Jin'er, don't worry. I will take care of everything. I won't let anything happen to you."

She put her arms around Prince Chen's neck and said, "Your Highness, please send me away now and find someone to replace me."

She knew very well that Princess Chen's words were true.

Maybe as soon as Princess Yuqing goes out, the soldiers will come to arrest her.

But it doesn't matter.

After all, Princess Yuqing didn't catch him in the act just now, so she didn't see the face under the mask.

Just find someone as soon as possible, someone of similar stature to her.

Put on this mask and you will become Lan Fei, the concubine of Prince Chen.

Who can do anything to her?

The sky cleared up after the rain.

The air is filled with the fragrance of earth.

Princess Yuqing and Miaomiao were in a good mood along the way and could fly kites.

I just don’t know if this autumn wind can fly.

On the way to reunite with Dad.

Miaomiao asked the princess, "Mother, why don't we just report Jiang Zijin to the authorities? What if she escapes?"

Princess Yuqing smiled and said, "It's not easy to catch her on the spot. There are so many experts in the other courtyard. If we act rashly, what if they become desperate and do something?"

"So when can we expose her?"

"Let her be free for a few more days. We'll have some fun with her and then deal with her at the palace banquet in a few days."

"Palace banquet? Can I go?" Miaomiao looked at the princess mother with anticipation.

I just said that she is my mother's adopted daughter, so it should be okay to take her out and show her the world.

The key point is that she has never been to the palace, so she is quite curious.

In the palace.

After seeing the sachet her mother had sewn, Zhen Meiren could no longer sit still.

Pulling the petals in my hand, I felt worried.

I racked my brains to think of how to bring this up to the Emperor.

The emperor is suspicious by nature, and this is the prince's family affair, which has nothing to do with her, a little concubine.

King Pianchen wanted to give her such an outrageous task.

It's so embarrassing.

She didn't want to lose her life so soon.

But my parents are still in their hands...

At dinner time.

Lady Zhen accompanied the emperor for dinner.

She casually spoke of her recent experiences, "I heard a very interesting story from Sister Chen Fei yesterday. Would Your Majesty like to hear it?"

"My beloved concubine, please tell me." Emperor Xuan put down his chopsticks and looked at the innocent and romantic girl opposite him with interest.

When he was young, he was also a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country.

He even led countless military campaigns in person.

Today, the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, with only occasional harassment from foreign enemies on the border.

But they were just minor incidents.

But he has white hair and is old!

But he refuses to accept his old age and now just wants to do whatever he wants.

None of the emperors in history could accept aging calmly, and they all wanted to live forever.

Even want to become an immortal.

He knew he couldn't become an immortal, nor did he want to become one. He just wanted to live a few more years.

He likes to watch the beautiful Zhen eat, and she looks like she eats with great relish.

Unlike him, who has been an emperor for most of his life and has eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, everything he eats now is boring to him.

I also have to worry about being poisoned all the time.

He also liked to listen to Lady Zhen talk, talking about what she saw and heard in daily life, such as cats and dogs fighting, and sometimes quarrels between palace maids and eunuchs.

I also like to play chess with the beautiful Zhen.

Even though her chess skills are terrible, she is not even half as good as Zhen Fei.

But Emperor Xuan saw the shadow of Concubine Zhen in Lady Zhen, which made him feel like he was back in his youth.

Thinking of every moment I spent with Concubine Zhen.

Being with young women makes me feel younger too.
