Before the end of the world, Su Mibao loved watching "Empresses in the Palace" the most. She knew that concubines were different from each other, and some of them might even be poorer than her.
"By the way, the second prince's mother and the third prince's mother should both be wealthy ladies, right? The Queen—"
Su Mibao suddenly remembered that according to the plot in the book, because of the prince's case, Queen Qian, who raised the prince, was also implicated and sent to the cold palace.
Then the things in the Queen's Palace should be sealed up, but I wonder if they have been moved out by now? Su Jiu nodded.
"The mother of the two princes has always been favored and has received many rewards from the emperor over the years. As for the Queen's Palace, everything has been confiscated, but it is still sealed in the Queen's Palace and has not been registered in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Su Mibao looked at Su Jiu with satisfaction. She decided that once she got back, she would ask her eldest brother to bring Su Jiu to her side. This guy was not only good-looking, but also quiet and absolutely loyal.
More importantly, when she came, her elder brother told her that after this matter was completed, he would let Su Jiu take his ten secret guards to leave the palace and accompany them all the way to the place of exile.
The thought that there are ten young eunuchs behind Su Jiu, and it is possible that each of them looks as handsome as Su Jiu.
How could Su Mibao not be tempted?
Hehe, she made up her mind. She would go back and ask her eldest brother for Su Jiu.
"Then let's go to the Queen's Palace first, and then to the two princes' wives' palaces."
Su Mibao pulled Su Jiu up and said, "Lead the way to the Queen's Palace."
Did the master really send this girl to steal things from the palace? Or...
Su Jiu couldn't understand.
But he reminded himself again. One of the secret guards' rules is not to ask the master why, just execute, and execute resolutely.
Hehe, this Su Jiu becomes cuter the more I look at him.
Although Su Jiu was conflicted, he was determined to complete the task, and the two of them appeared in the Queen's Palace in an instant.
She is worthy of being the queen. Look at these things, each one of them is priceless.
All the things in the Queen's palace have been sorted into boxes and sealed, waiting for the Emperor's order tomorrow to put them into storage.
This saves the rabbit from worrying about the rabbit. Just turn around and collect them all.
In the Palace of Concubine Xi - the palace of the second prince's mother.
The two people and the rabbit appeared behind the rockery outside the palace.
"It's the middle of the night, and the concubine is not sleeping. What is she doing?"
Looking at the window reflecting the light, Su Mibao frowned. Xi Fei was not asleep. It was a bit bad to steal things in front of her, wasn't it? Su Mibao turned his head and glanced at Su Jiu, and asked Su Jiu to wait outside. I will go in alone, take the rabbit and collect the things and leave. It's okay for Xi Fei to watch. After all, even if she is beaten to death, she can't find me in this world.
"Just wait, I'll be back soon."
"Xi Fei is not asleep, if you are discovered——"
Su Jiu subconsciously pulled Su Mibao, then quickly let go.
"It's no use seeing it. No one can find me in this world."
Su Mibao smiled at him and instantly flashed into the bedroom.
I couldn't help but look at the ground. Under the moonlight, the girl had a shadow.
This girl is not a ghost. What does she mean by that? What does she mean that no one can find her in this world? Could it be that she is a fairy as I thought?
Su Mibao hid behind the gauze curtain and saw a middle-aged imperial concubine sitting at the table with a sad face, saying to an old palace maid standing next to her,
"My father thinks that since he helped me overthrow the queen, I have to obey him in everything?"
"My queen, please don't be angry with the master. Isn't the master doing all this for you?"
Nanny Gong was obviously Concubine Xi's confidante, and at this moment, like Concubine Xi, she had a worried look on her face.
Hey, does this Concubine Xi have a secret?
Let me think, is there any secret about Xi Fei in the original book? Su Mibao thought about it, but couldn't remember.
After all, Xi Fei was just a cannon fodder in the original book. There was not much written in the book. She read ten lines at a glance, so it was not surprising that she could not remember them.
"For me?"
Xi Fei smiled bitterly.
"He has always been doing it for himself. He knew that I liked my cousin, but he didn't think highly of him. He thought that although he was the Queen Mother's legitimate son, he was incompetent and not liked by the late Emperor. He forced me and my cousin to separate."
When talking about the past, Xi Fei still felt full of resentment.
"In order to be with my cousin, I had no choice but to make a fait accompli. As a result, my father almost beat me to death. If the Queen Mother had not stepped in and asked the late Emperor to grant the marriage, my father would have married me to the Sixth Prince, who was the most popular at the time."
Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Concubine Xi was a person who held high the banner of love. No wonder the old emperor doted on her the most, it turned out to be his true love back then!
"It was because my father forced someone to feed me a bowl of soup that my son was born with a weak constitution."
Xi Fei's face twisted. "My own son, you poor thing. He died before he was a month old. Tell me, how can I forgive him? In his heart, I have never been his daughter. I am just a flag in his hand."
Xi Fei was sad.
"Mammy, do you think he respects me now because I am his daughter and he loves me? No. He respects me because I am loved by the emperor. He is betting on the second prince. He wants to be the grandfather of the prince and the grandfather of the future emperor. He has never thought about being my father."
Hey, Su Mibao frowned. She was almost confused by Xifei's train of thought.
Concubine Xi’s son, the Second Prince, was clearly alive, so how could Concubine Xi say that her son died before he was one month old?
"He thought he was really capable, because he was the one who killed the crown prince and deposed the queen. He was just dreaming. It was because the emperor himself could not tolerate the crown prince and hated the queen. That's why he used him and Gu Tai to get rid of the crown prince and the queen. My father, he thought he was great, because he defeated Wang Taifu, the Zhenguogong Mansion, the crown prince, and the queen. He was just an old fool. It was obvious that the emperor used him and Gu Tai to get rid of his biggest threat."
"Your Majesty - you can't be so pessimistic. Look, among all the women in the palace, the emperor loves only you, Your Majesty, the most."
Xi Fei smiled, a little sadly, "Mammy, you are a smart person. You have seen it all these years. Why deceive yourself? Speaking of love, my cousin did love me. But the emperor is not my cousin. The emperor will not love any woman."
Xi Fei bit her red lips until they bled. "Ever since the emperor married the queen for power, in his eyes, women have only two uses: to give birth to children and to consolidate power."
"The master is wise. When the child died, the queen cried so hard that she couldn't care about anything else. The master sent the second prince to the palace to replace the dead child. This is not only for the good of the master, but also for the good of the queen. Queen, just think about it, if there was no second prince, how hard would your life be."
