As soon as the news spread that Concubine Hui was executed and the second prince Jingyan was demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace, the harem was in an uproar.
Moreover, this was done after the Queen Mother returned and with her permission.
Everyone was talking about it and was shocked.
You have to know that the Queen Mother is Hui Fei's aunt. In the past, when Hui Fei had some small actions, the Queen Mother turned a blind eye to her. But this time, what Hui Fei did was so bad that even the Queen Mother could not tolerate it.
The most incomprehensible thing is Emperor Chengxuan's treatment of the second prince.
Concubine Hui did evil, but the Second Prince did not seem to be involved.
How could he claim to be Emperor Chengxuan's biological son? Why did Emperor Chengxuan expel him from the palace?
Soon, someone revealed that it was Xiao Shuangbao who proposed it.
Rumors immediately spread that Xiao Shuangbao had a grudge against the Second Prince from the beginning and was taking the opportunity to take revenge on him.
But after she said that, Emperor Chengxuan actually drove his own son out of the palace, without any regard for the father-son relationship.
This also made everyone in the palace realize that Xiao Shuangbao's status in Emperor Chengxuan's mind was much higher than that of ordinary princes.
Amidst all this discussion, the second prince was driven out of the palace.
at the same time.
"As soon as the Second Prince left the palace, he was taken away by people sent by the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion."
Zhou Guisheng reported to Emperor Chengxuan, "Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion is the Empress Dowager's family, Concubine Hui is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, and the Second Prince is Marquis Dingyuan's grandson. Naturally, they will not let the Second Prince really live on the streets and suffer hardships."
"Yes, I understand."
Emperor Chengxuan nodded and continued to hold the brush and review the memorials, appearing very indifferent.
"Recently, there's been a lot of talk in the palace, saying that the little princess is intolerant and wants to kill the Second Prince. But they don't consider that even if the Second Prince loses his status as a prince, he still has the Dingyuan Marquisate as his maternal family. He won't end up living on the streets and dying in poverty. Besides, how would they dare to take the Second Prince away without the Emperor's permission?"
Zhou Guisheng said helplessly from the side.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng Xuan paused his pen.
"They say Frost Treasure is intolerant?"
He asked in a slightly cold tone.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Seeing that he was getting angry, Zhou Guisheng quickly said, "There are many people in the palace who are gossipy. They don't understand the whole story, only the outcome, so they will inevitably make unwarranted guesses. However, these people can only talk, and they can't actually do anything to the little princess."
"Humph, do they have the guts?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan placed the brush in his hand on the pen holder, picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands. He said sarcastically, "If I wasn't afraid that Shuang Bao would be unhappy, I would kill them just for daring to talk about Shuang Bao in private!"
He sat there, with an aura of majesty surrounding him.
"How's the preparation going for me?"
He did not continue the topic and asked instead.
"Your Majesty, everything is almost ready. However, since you are leaving the palace incognito and planning to take this opportunity to tour the south, you must have someone to accompany you. I wonder which lady you plan to have accompany you?"
Zhou Guisheng asked respectfully.
Ever since he heard the Imperial Master and Si Liye mention the matter of Ding County last time, Emperor Cheng Xuan decided to take Xiao Shuangbao with him to deal with that evil cult.
The magistrate of Heding County neglected his duties and did nothing in the face of reports from the people, which made Emperor Chengxuan very angry. He wondered how many other officials were like the magistrate of Heding County, so he planned to go on a southern tour after dealing with the cult.
What he asked Zhou Guisheng to prepare were also matters related to the southern tour.
"I am on an incognito visit to do serious business. Bringing these concubines with me is unnecessary and will only get in the way."
At this time, Emperor Chengxuan said with a frown.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. However, if there is a lady accompanying us, she will be able to take good care of the little princess."
Zhou Guisheng tried his best to persuade him.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan frowned.
"Then take the ugly concubine with you."
He said.
"ah?"
Zhou Guisheng was suddenly surprised.
"Shuangbao likes Ugly Concubine very much. Besides, Ugly Concubine is an excellent doctor. If we encounter any unexpected situation and get injured, Ugly Concubine is there for us."
Emperor Chengxuan said.
When Zhou Guisheng heard this, he naturally understood what he meant.
Bringing the ugly concubine along not only takes care of the little princess's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but is also equivalent to bringing a miracle doctor along.
That's how it was settled.
Emperor Chengxuan did not plan to bring too many people with him on this incognito visit.
In addition to Xiao Shuangbao and Chou Fei, there were also Chen Cao and Xiao Shuangbao's master Liu Ruanying accompanying them as guards.
And because the Ninth Prince Jingxi's body now needs the Ugly Concubine to continue to adjust and detoxify, he cannot leave the Ugly Concubine for the time being, so he takes Jingxi with him.
Imperial Master Tang Xuan had just returned and was overwhelmed by the various official duties piling up at Tianyan Palace, unable to get away.
Si Li Ye also went along.
As for the other secret guards and others, there is no need to say more.
The government affairs of the court were temporarily handed over to the Queen Mother.
But what was announced to the public was that Emperor Chengxuan had been ill recently and the morning court session had been cancelled.
Everything was arranged quietly.
Two days later, one morning, before dawn, Emperor Chengxuan carried the little Shuangbao, who was still asleep, into a carriage and set off for Heding County.
So, when little Shuangbao finally woke up from the bumpy ride in the carriage, he found that something seemed to be wrong.
She opened her eyes, and instead of seeing the beautiful roof of the palace as usual, she saw the rickety roof of a carriage.
There was no silence in my ears either.
But it was the sound of galloping horses.
Little Shuangbao finally realized that something seemed to be wrong. He rubbed his eyes and straightened up his little body.
"Is Shuangbao awake?"
At this time, Emperor Cheng Xuan noticed the movement of the little baby, immediately put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Daddy."
Little Shuangbao was still a little sleepy, and at this moment he subconsciously climbed into Emperor Chengxuan's arms and called out softly, "Daddy, where are we?"
"Outside the palace, I mentioned earlier that we were going to Ding County to deal with the cult. Does Shuangbao still remember?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan hugged her, rubbed her furry little head, and spoke gently.
Little Shuangbao's brain, which had not yet fully awakened, froze for a moment before finally starting to move.
"I remember now."
She finally regained some consciousness, a smile appeared on her face, and her eyes lit up.
As he spoke, Xiao Shuangbao climbed up from Emperor Chengxuan's arms and opened the car window.
"Wow!"
I saw a carriage passing through a forest, with guards following it all the way.
This was a scene she could not see in the palace.
