He stood up and turned to see his confidant.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
The confidant shook his head and said, "My Lord, you are watching me so seriously that I think there are bad guys."
Marquis Qingyuan snorted coldly, "Delivering gifts and climbing over the wall, and now suddenly being reserved and delivering a letter, they're really trying a lot of tricks."
The confidant immediately understood, "It must be someone from the Third Prince's residence. Didn't you, the Marquis, allow this?"
"Shut up."
Looking at the back of Qingyuan Hou walking away with his hands behind his back, the confidant touched his nose.
He was not wrong. It was the Marquis who allowed it himself. Why was he still angry with him?
"My Lord," the confidant came to his senses and hurriedly followed Marquis Qingyuan, "I have inquired clearly. Concubine Shu is under observation by people from the Ministry of Justice. You don't have to worry."
…
The Concubine Shu mentioned by the two was now walking outside with Lu'er's support.
Following behind him were the two people left behind by Lord Qin.
Concubine Shu knew that the two were monitoring her, but there was one thing she couldn't understand: why the secret guards around her were being monitored by the emperor's secret guards without her knowing.
Could it be that the emperor has grown up, and the secret guards he trained are also more powerful than the secret guards of the previous emperor?
While she was thinking, she heard Lu'er pointing to a pavilion and saying, "My Lady Concubine, I'll help you go there to rest for a while."
Concubine Shu originally wanted to refuse, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she saw a woman sitting in the pavilion and changed her mind.
"Come over and sit down."
It's nice to have someone to talk to and kill time.
When they approached the pavilion, Concubine Shu's eyes fell on the woman. From her clothes, she could tell that the woman came from a well-off family.
"Toffee, please sit here."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard the voice, she looked up at the two of them, smiled slightly and nodded.
Concubine Shu sat on the stone bench next to her and nodded.
"Sorry to disturb the girl's peace."
Seeing her so gentle, Xu Xiaoxiao thought she had misheard.
"Don't bother."
Concubine Shu looked at the willow branches dancing in the wind beside the pavilion, was silent for a while, and then spoke.
"Are you a pilgrim here to burn incense, or do you live here?"
Xu Xiaoxiao was staring into the distance in a daze, and came back to her senses when she heard Concubine Shu's words.
"Live here and pray for blessings, old lady too?"
"What old lady? This is the concubine."
Before Concubine Shu could speak, Lu'er spoke first.
"Lu'er, don't be rude."
Concubine Shu scolded Lu'er and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao who was a little dazed.
"This little girl has a quick temper, please don't be offended, young lady."
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook her head and stood up to salute, "Your Highness greets the Concubine Dowager. I didn't know your identity just now. I apologize for the impoliteness."
When Concubine Shu heard the word "minister", her eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to think about the person in front of her.
But his face was peaceful as he helped Xu Xiaoxiao up and said, "I thought the girl was not married yet."
The two people standing outside the pavilion pricked up their ears, but Concubine Shu and Xu Xiaoxiao spoke in low voices and they could not hear clearly.
Concubine Shu and the other person chatted for a while, and then they saw the sun was blocked by dark clouds, and the bright weather suddenly became dark.
"Young Madam, the weather has changed. Let's go back."
Maid Xu Xiaoxiao looked up at the dark sky and whispered.
"It's indeed going to rain," Concubine Shu stood up. "I had a very pleasant chat with Madam. I live in the wing on the left side of the backyard. If you're bored, you can come over and chat with me."
"good."
Xu Xiaoxiao agreed, her smile more sincere. Concubine Shu was not at all arrogant and spoke in a kindly manner.
After returning to the room where she lived with her maid, Xu Xiaoxiao walked to the window and sat down, staring blankly at the leaves rustling in the wind outside.
After Xin'er left that day, she knew that her cousin had gone to look for Xin'er again, but she didn't know what happened between the two of them. Her cousin came back drunk that day.
When my cousin sobered up the next day, he became busy. My aunt thought that he had figured it out, but in fact she knew that he had not.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so busy that I can't see anyone.
"Young Madam, how long will you stay?"
The maid walked forward to interrupt Xu Xiaoxiao's thoughts and closed the window.
"Let's talk about it later."
Xu Xiaoxiao recalled that when she said she was going to stay in Baiyun Temple for a few days, her cousin's expression was more relaxed than ever before.
And she said she would stay here for a few days because she knew that her cousin didn't want to face her.
…
As night fell, the sound of raindrops came into the house through the window. The maid brought in food and wanted to wake Xu Xiaoxiao up.
However, he called out several times but received no response. He raised his hand and touched Xu Xiaoxiao, only to find that her forehead was hot and her face was flushed.
The maidservant was at a loss, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Suddenly, Concubine Shu's words flashed through her mind, and she opened the door and went to look for Concubine Shu.
The other party is the imperial concubine, and she is accompanied by palace maids and guards. Maybe she also brought a doctor.
When they ran to the room where Concubine Shu lived, the maid raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The two guards watched from the side and did not stop them.
Lord Qin asked them to look after Concubine Shu and write down what she did every day, and not to worry about anything else.
Concubine Shu just lay down, listening to the knocking on the door and the sound of the rain, she felt extremely depressed.
"Who is it?"
Lu'er stood up and opened the door, looking at the person standing outside. A cold wind blew, and the candlelight in the room flickered.
"Come in, looking for Toffee?"
Because the maid disturbed Concubine Shu's rest, Lu'er spoke in a bad tone.
When Concubine Shu heard the knock on the door, she sat up. Seeing the maid's anxious look, she put on her clothes and asked softly.
"What happened?"
