Besides being very concerned about her maternal grandfather's injury, Jingrou was also very concerned about when the culprits would be caught. From Yinreng's words, she also learned who the enemies outside were.
Although he didn't understand anything about it, he could tell from this assassination attempt how dire the situation was for the other party. They were about to expose their strength and wanted to commit suicide against their grandfather.
It's easy to imagine that the other side was extremely desperate, and this was also a very dangerous moment. After all, at this point, they were cornered and capable of anything, even things that would result in heavy losses on both sides!
So at this point, she wanted to earn even more points.
However, out of concern for her safety, Yinreng never mentioned it in detail...
After finishing her morning classes, she went to Consort Yi's palace for lunch as usual.
On the way, they ran into Yinreng and Yinzhen. When the two of them were together, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Jingrou stood silently in front watching. Yinreng was wearing a moon-white dress, while Yinzhen was wearing a light green one. The two of them just stood there, and it made people feel very refreshed.
"Zhuzhu..." Yinreng waved to her. He was wearing a light-colored dress and looked particularly handsome waving in the sunlight. He had a sky-blue sachet tied to his hand. Jingrou knew that the small piece of jade she had given him was inside the sachet.
Ever since Jingrou gave this small piece of jade to Yinreng, Yinreng has cherished it very much. Even when he changes his sachet, he has to take the contents inside with him. He even has to check carefully before going out to make sure that the contents are inside before he can leave with peace of mind!
Jingrou is very petty. If she finds out that I didn't wear it, or if she finds out that I'm not wearing it, I'm in big trouble. She will definitely hold a grudge against me for this mistake!
Many people in the palace knew that the two of them had a good relationship, but Yinreng would only call her by her childhood nickname in private.
After all, she is a young lady, and she should pay attention to these things. Normally, she would call Jingrou "little sister" because several princesses in the palace are good friends with Jingrou.
So when he calls out like that, it doesn't seem particularly abrupt; other people just think the two of them have a good relationship.
However, if Xiaoming were to call out that, it might seem a bit inappropriate.
At this moment, there were no outsiders. In Yinreng's eyes, Yinzhen was his younger brother, so he was not considered an outsider.
Yinzhen looked up at her; she was a very likable young girl. For Yinzhen, who knew very little about the girls in the palace, Jingrou was one of the few he recognized and who left a strong impression on him.
She was a girl who left a very deep impression on him; she was very distinctive and enthusiastic.
“Crown Prince…” Jingrou walked over. She had seen the two of them hurrying by, as if they were going to do something, which was why she hadn’t come closer.
She only came over when she saw that Yinreng had noticed her. She had originally intended not to disturb them as they were on their way to do business.
"Where is Crown Prince going?" Jingrou smiled as she looked ahead. Her cousin had told her to wait for her here, but she had been waiting for quite a while and he still hadn't come. So she decided to find a shady spot to wait for him, as she didn't want to be in the midday sun!
"On the way... to Shou Kang Palace." Yinreng smiled. "You don't need to wait for the Fifth Prince. When I was leaving, I saw him listening intently to something interesting. He might not even have time for lunch. I'll take you back first!"
Upon seeing her appearance, Yinreng knew why she was waiting there.
Jingrou pouted. Okay, her cousin was just that unreliable, and his memory wasn't very good; he might forget that they agreed to meet here...
Hmph, I must tell my aunt when I get back, and teach her a lesson. How could she leave me here like this?
However, being distracted by gossip was very much like her cousin's personality, so Jingrou didn't say anything more. Shou Kang Palace was right behind Consort Yi's Yi Kun Palace, which was a bit remote, but when Jingrou saw Yinzhen, she understood...
A concubine named Jing lived in Shou Kang Palace. Not long ago, the emperor issued an edict to register the name of the fourth prince, Yinzhen, under this concubine's name, which caused quite a stir.
After all, everyone knows that the Fourth Prince's biological mother is still alive. Although Empress Tongjia is gone, the Fourth Prince will definitely need to find someone to belong to.
But no one expected that they would go to another concubine's place.
Of course, there were many concubines in the palace who had no children, and they all longed to have a child. However, they never considered having a child with the Fourth Prince, because they all knew that the Fourth Prince's birth mother was Consort De, and the Emperor would certainly not put the Fourth Prince under the name of another concubine!
Consort Jing was practically invisible in the palace, receiving no favor whatsoever…
Her father was originally a civil official, and he used to hold a fairly high position. However, he was wronged and the emperor mistakenly issued an imperial edict. In addition, her family was very small, and the punishment was almost equivalent to the execution of the entire family. She also lost her elders. She had only one mother who died early, so she suddenly had no one to care for.
Because of this relationship, Consort Jing quietly moved to Shou Kang Palace. Of course, she resented the Emperor, but she dared not go against his temper for the sake of the rest of her family. After all, if a concubine made a mistake or contradicted the Emperor, the punishment would not be limited to the execution of the entire family.
The emperor probably indulged her out of guilt, and although he no longer favored her, she was still well-fed and clothed.
Therefore, Consort Jing held a very special position in the palace. Although she was not favored, no one dared to provoke her.
She has rarely appeared in public over the years, but Jingrou has seen her before. It's just that Shou Kang Palace and Yi Kun Palace are close by. People in Yi Kun Palace said that she had received some favor from her aunt, so the two of them have always had a good relationship.
She was a woman who spoke softly and gently, and always wore very simple clothes. Perhaps because she was not involved in the palace intrigues, she looked even younger than her actual age.
If my aunt hadn't told me, I would never have imagined that such a tragedy would have happened in my family.
However, it was clear that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had been very worried recently, but after Emperor Kangxi issued that imperial edict, the gloom on his face had dissipated, indicating that he was very satisfied with his new mother.
In fact, Yinzhen's requirements were not high at all. He just wanted someone who would control him all day long, and now his imperial genealogy had already been moved out.
"Then I'll trouble you, Crown Prince, to take me there!" Actually, Jingrou was already very familiar with the palace and didn't need anyone to take her there. She just thought that this trip would be a good opportunity to chat for a while and keep her from getting bored.
