Chapter 276 Sister, I want to take a stroll around the palace
East Palace.
Xiao Mocheng has been much quieter since the teahouse incident that night.
That night he returned to the East Palace in a rage, but before he could lose his temper, he learned that Tang Shihuan was pregnant.
This good news forced him to suppress the anger in his heart.
Because Tang Shihuan was pregnant and could not sleep with the emperor, the women in the East Palace dressed up beautifully and used all means to compete for his favor.
Especially the "favored" concubine Ye Youran, who was the one who was in high spirits.
She relied on her status as a concubine to bully the ladies and imperial concubines all day long...
The pregnant Tang Shihuan changed her usual behavior and quietly watched Ye Youran stir up trouble, and even "protected" her sister everywhere.
Although they seem to have a deep "sisterly love", Tang Shihuan actually hates Ye Youran in her heart.
In her words, she would wait until she gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson before she would deal with this ignorant Concubine Ye.
In order to dispel Xiao Junze's suspicion, Xiao Mocheng took this opportunity to drink and have fun every day, indulging in beauty...
At this moment, Xiao Mocheng was drinking in the warm room with his arm around Ye Youran's waist.
He said with drunken eyes: "You Ran, I like the way you are jealous."
Ye Youran, who has been "favored" recently, laughed a few times with a hint of pride after hearing these words.
She picked up the wine glass and placed it to Xiao Mocheng's lips, and Xiao Mocheng drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Ye Youran put down her wine glass and snuggled into Xiao Mocheng's arms. "Your Highness is so charming and handsome. I have admired you for many years."
"It is a great honor to be your concubine."
You have to take advantage of this time to get pregnant.
With a child, I can gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Palace.
Sooner or later, she would pull Tang Shihuan down from her position as the queen...
Xiao Mocheng lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Youran in his arms, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.
Idiot, it would be better if you could make the East Palace a mess.
Just then, Xiao Shunzi hurried over and knocked on the door of the warm room.
“Knock, knock.”
"Enter!"
After Xiao Shunzi entered the warm room, he gave Xiao Mocheng a look that said "I have something important to tell you" and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets His Highness and His Majesty the Concubine."
Xiao Mocheng received the hint and scolded him pretentiously, "You little slave, you've disturbed my pleasure. What's your punishment?"
Xiao Shunzi pretended to be terrified and knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am afraid that you will harm your health by drinking too much, so..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Youran's crimson face showed a hint of anger.
She left Xiao Mocheng's embrace and shouted unhappily, "You little slave, you mean this concubine is harming His Highness."
Xiao Shunzi shrank back, kowtowed and explained: "My Lady Concubine, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that."
"That's not what I meant. I think that's what you meant." Ye Youran said more and more.
Xiao Shunzi had been by Xiao Mocheng's side since he was still a prince. Even the Crown Princess Tang Shihuan knew Xiao Shunzi's status in the Eastern Palace.
So, in the East Palace, apart from Xiao Mocheng, Ye Youran was the first person to yell at him.
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi seemed to be trembling like a sieve, and he had already hated her in his heart.
"Please calm down, Concubine. This is all my fault."
Seeing Xiao Shunzi's humble appearance, Ye Youran stood up, took two steps forward, and kicked him to the ground.
"You little dog slave, do you still know you're wrong?"
"If you dare to disobey me again, I will drag you out and beat you to death!"
Xiao Mocheng listened to the sharp and piercing sound and rubbed his eyebrows.
He slammed the table and scolded, "Enough, the noise is giving me a headache."
Hearing Xiao Mocheng's unhappy tone, Ye Youran turned around and knelt down, crying, "Your Highness, please calm down. It's all because of this dog slave who had the audacity to contradict me..."
The maid beside her saw this and quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, calm down."
Xiao Mocheng calmed down a bit and looked at Ye Youran with doting eyes, "Youran, I'm feeling a little unwell after drinking these past two days. You can go down first, and let Xiao Shunzi stay and serve me."
Ye Youran, you may not know that the more arrogant you are now, the more miserable your death will be in the future.
When Ye Youran heard Xiao Mocheng say this, she didn't dare to continue making trouble.
She stood up and bowed to Xiao Mocheng, "Your Highness, please have a good rest. I will take my leave!"
"I'll take my leave!"
After Ye Youran turned around, she glared fiercely at Xiao Shunzi who was lying on the ground.
You dog slave, you dare to ruin my good deeds, just wait and see.
With the help of her maid, she turned and left the warm room.
After Ye Youran and his servant walked away, there was no trace of drunkenness in Xiao Mocheng's clear eyes.
"Tell me about it!"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Xiao Shunzi quickly got up from the ground, turned around and walked to the door, looked outside vigilantly, closed the door and turned back.
He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, someone in the palace just sent a message that the Emperor has received a secret letter saying that the blood of that phoenix has the effect of immortality."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng stood up excitedly and said with half-belief and half-doubt, "Too strange to see such a thing."
In fact, deep down he really hoped that this was true.
After all, the temptation of the word "immortality" is too great.
Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has asked Chief Steward Ji to arrange for someone to secretly go to Jizhou, saying that they want to keep an eye on Xiao Chengjin and his wife day and night."
Xiao Mocheng frowned slightly and slowly sat down.
What does this mean, father?
He suspected that the stinking phoenix belonged to Xiao Chengjin and his wife...
After a moment of silence, Xiao Mocheng said to Xiao Shunzi, "Always pay attention to the movements of the emperor."
"Yes, Your Highness."
........
After learning that Xiao Junze had sent people to Jizhou to keep an eye on them, Xiao Chengjin stayed in the capital for a few days and decided to return to Jizhou.
Night falls.
Princess Anran said reluctantly, "Ruoruo, it's alright for you and Jin'er to return to Jizhou. Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Jiang Ruo chuckled and whispered something in Princess Anran's ear.
The next moment, Princess Anran looked towards the direction of the palace and angrily cursed, "This bastard nephew, isn't he tired every day?"
"Aunt, don't be angry. We will come back at the end of the year and spend the New Year with you." Jiang Ruo calculated the time and comforted her.
After returning to Jizhou, I have to go to Shengzhou to visit my grandparents.
Princess Anran calmed down after hearing this.
"Ruoruo, then let's make it a deal."
After saying goodbye, Jiang Ruo released Xiaofeng.
"Aunt, father-in-law, we are leaving now. You should get some rest early."
Princess Anran and Sheng Yunshao nodded and watched them leave.
After the little phoenix took off into the air, his eyes rolled and he said, "Sister, I want to take a stroll around the palace."
Jiang Ruo: "..."
Now that you mention it, I kind of want to go too.
"Go! I miss you so much!"
"Okay!" The little phoenix turned around and headed straight for the palace.
It came to the sky above the Yangxin Palace and shouted loudly: "Dog Emperor, come out quickly."
The little phoenix's voice cut through the night sky.
A dozen secret guards in the dark immediately flew down and stood guard at the door of the bedroom.
Xiao Junze, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound outside the hall.
"Ji Tao, what happened?"
Manager Ji, who was serving at the side, immediately recognized Little Phoenix's voice.
He hurried forward two steps and lifted the curtain, "Your Majesty, it seems that the little phoenix has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze immediately sat up and said, "Change my clothes."
"Your servant obeys your order!" Two young eunuchs stepped forward and deftly put on the dragon robe and cloak for Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze snorted coldly, "Let's go out and take a look."
Manager Ji: I just mentioned the little phoenix a few days ago, and it appeared tonight.
The master and servant left the bedroom, and the secret guards knelt one after another: "We pay our respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Junze looked up, looking for the little phoenix.
The little phoenix descended a little and said proudly, "Dog Emperor, your Master Feng is here."
"I heard that you missed me after not seeing me for a while."
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin listened to Xiao Fenghuang's naughty tone and tried their best to suppress their laughter.
Xiao Junze was not angry after hearing what Xiao Fenghuang said.
Miss you?
I just want to pull out your tendons and drink your blood...
He answered the question irrelevantly: "Little Phoenix, why did you come to see me tonight?"
The little phoenix flew around in the air and said proudly, "I was a little bored, so I came to the palace for a stroll and to see how you were doing recently."
"Hey, I feel much better after waking you up."
"Master Feng is gone. We'll talk again when we have time!"
After the little phoenix finished speaking, it spread its wings and flew away.
Xiao Junze looked at the direction where the little phoenix left and smiled.
Let you show off for a while.
Once I find your hiding place, I will personally go and surround and suppress you...
