Chapter 101 Zhaoyi's miscarriage

Although the queen had some complaints about the emperor and his son, she was also moved when she saw Su Xiaoxiao, who was kowtowed by Zhao Wanyue to express her gratitude. Besides, Su Xiaoxiao was the savior of her son and her sister's son. What else could she not understand?

It was good for the country and her child, and Xiaoxiao deserved to be favored. The ancestors had acquiesced, so why should she be so petty?

Once this pattern was opened, the queen also joined the ranks of those who were more excited than Zhao Wanyue and Su Xiaoxiao herself. With a wave of her hand, another wave of rewards went into Su Xiaoxiao's pocket.

The Queen also invited Zhao Wanyue and Su Xiaoxiao to have dinner together. Gu Huaiyu went to the Imperial College and could not accompany them. Gu Huaian heard that Xiaoxiao's sister was coming, so he came to Kunning Palace early to wait.

"Xiaoxiao, this is for you!"

"Xiaoxiao, come here, brother will feed you soup."

Gu Huaian, who had not been eating well, sat next to Su Xiaoxiao obediently and took care of Su Xiaoxiao meticulously.

The Queen was dumbfounded: "Xiaojiu, when did you become so sensible?"

Gu Huaian answered fluently: "I will be four years old soon, and I am the older brother, so I should take care of my younger sister!"

Zhao Wanyue also felt that Gu Huaian was really sensible. Su Changhe was already very good to Xiaoxiao, but here, he had to be compared.

She sighed: "The Ninth Prince is not even four years old, but he is so sensible. The Queen has taught her children well. The Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince are both so sensible."

The Queen's eyebrows curved: "He will be four years old on the second day of next month, not young anymore!"

Su Xiaoxiao, who had been eating seriously, was shocked: [What, the second day of next month, that's only five days away. According to the plot, the Ninth Brother drowned the day after his fourth birthday. Zhao Wanyue's hand trembled as she picked up the food, and she

almost lost her balance. If such a lovely child were to die, the Empress would be so sad.

She held her breath and wanted to listen to Su Xiaoxiao's story about what happened to the Ninth Prince, so that the Empress could be on guard. But Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking when she thought of this.

Zhao Wanyue felt like something was stuck in her throat. She couldn't say this. She couldn't just say that the Ninth Prince would drown a day after his birthday and ask the Empress to keep an eye on her, then she could be dragged down and chopped off.

Zhao Wanyue was at a loss when a palace servant came to report that Empress Xue Zhaoyi had given birth.

After hearing this, the Empress frowned: "Why are you panicking? Tell me in detail!"

Zhao Wanyue knew that this was a palace matter, so she stood up and said goodbye.

Su Xiaoxiao kept thinking and thinking, and finally remembered on the way:

[Xue Zhaoyi, she was the one who pushed the Ninth Prince into trouble, so the Xue family was exterminated, but the instigator was Concubine Zhou.]

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't explain it clearly, the key figures have been revealed. As long as she pays attention to Xue Zhaoyi and Concubine Zhou, the Ninth Prince can be kept safe. The problem now is how she can remind the Empress. Now that the people have been revealed, there is no reason for them to go back.

Coincidentally, at this time, the prince came back from school, and when he saw Su Xiaoxiao, he quickened his pace.

Zhao Wanyue bowed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gu Huaiyu smiled brightly: "Madam Zhao, are you going back now? Why don't you sit for a while?"

Zhao Wanyue said: "The Empress has important matters to deal with, so we will take our leave first!"

Gu Huaiyu played with Su Xiaoxiao for a while, then asked someone to send them out of the palace in his carriage.

Zhao Wanyue couldn't refuse, so she carried Su Xiaoxiao onto the carriage. After thinking it over again and again, she stopped the prince and said, "Your Highness, I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the harem. But I still ask you to remind the Empress that you should not be careless about Xue Zhaoyi's miscarriage."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Wanyue with admiration: "My mother is so amazing. How did she know that there was a hidden story behind Xue Zhaoyi's miscarriage? She also asked the Empress to investigate Concubine Zhou. It was Concubine Zhou who bribed the palace maids around the Empress to poison Xue Zhaoyi, and then put the blame on the Empress, and instigated Xue Zhaoyi to poison my ninth brother!" 】

Gu Huaiyu was originally wondering why Zhao Wanyue would bring up matters in the harem, but now it seems that she can also hear Xiaoxiao's thoughts, so she told him about this without any complaints.

Gu Huaiyu understood and said quickly: "Thank you Madam Zhao for your reminder. I will remind my mother to check the people around her thoroughly and not let innocent people die in vain."

Zhao Wanyue was still worried and said: "I heard that the ninth prince's birthday is on the second day of the first lunar month. Please pay attention to it, Your Highness, and tell him not to go to the waterside. It would be bad if he offends the water."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: [That's not right. Why do I feel like they know something bad is going to happen? If the Empress had checked the people around her thoroughly, Xue Zhaoyi would not have misunderstood, and would not have hated the Empress and hurt the ninth brother.

But it was right for Ninth Brother not to go to the waterside. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Oh, I see, because in the original plot, the Crown Prince is dead now, and the Queen is heartbroken, so she let someone take advantage of her. Now everything is fine, and Ninth Brother will be fine. It's all my credit, I saved the Crown Prince!

Su Xiaoxiao convinced herself clearly, and Zhao Wanyue and Gu Huaiyu were not afraid of her thinking too much. Gu Huaiyu thanked Madam Zhao and went straight to Kunning Palace.

The Queen had already gone to Chuxiu Palace where Xue Zhaoyi lived, so Gu Huaiyu started to check the palace maids and eunuchs around the Queen.

Soon, it was discovered that a maid named Jinxiu had contact with the maid of Concubine Zhou. Coincidentally, she had also been to Xue Zhaoyi's palace to deliver something.

The prince looked solemn: "Bring Jinxiu up to me!"

The servant replied: "Jinxiu went to Xu Cairen's palace to deliver clothes!"

Gu Huaiyu frowned: "Jinxiu is a maid in Kunning Palace. Isn't delivering clothes the job of the Shang Palace Bureau?"

The eunuch in charge was sweating profusely: "She has a sister who works for Xu Cairen. She asked for this job herself just to meet her sister!"

It is normal for palace maids to take turns to do duty occasionally, so why did the prince personally ask about this matter today?

"Let's go to Concubine Xu's palace!" Gu Huaiyu did not dare to delay and personally led people to look for Jinxiu.

He also asked people to guard all the doors in Concubine Xu's palace.

As soon as he arrived at the main gate, an eunuch found someone carrying something out of the corner door. He stopped them and saw that it was the dead Jinxiu.

The Empress also got the news and went straight to Concubine Xu's palace.

She looked sad: "Concubine Xu, what's the matter!" Concubine

Xu knelt down with a thud: "Concubine Xu, I was wrong. Jinxiu just had a sudden illness. She died all of a sudden. I was worried that I couldn't explain it clearly, so I wanted someone to deal with the body."

Nanny Sun beside the Empress checked the body and found that there was no pulse.

The queen sneered: "Jinxiu was strong and healthy, how could she die suddenly? Let the coroner do a good job of the autopsy. I have been too used to you guys recently. You dare to play tricks in front of me."
