The two were walking happily when a eunuch appeared from nowhere and greeted them, saying, "Master Jiu, Concubine Jin, and Concubine Yi invites you."
Hearing the name of Concubine Yi, Jiang Ranli was instantly overwhelmed. She had not forgotten how much Concubine Yi despised and hated her that night in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"The palace is about to be handed down. What's the matter, mother?" Yin'er held Jiang Ranli's hand and noticed her subtle changes.
The eunuch shook his head and said that Concubine Yi only asked him to come and invite her, but did not say what the matter was.
"Li'er, let Chang Shun accompany you back first, and your husband will go to Yiku Palace."
Yinzhen knew that Jiang Ranli was worried about meeting Concubine Yi, so he decided to let her return home first.
Jiang Ranli deeply agreed with his arrangement, but just as she was about to speak, the eunuch beside her spoke.
"Master Jiu, the Queen said that she would let the concubine go with you."
At this point, Jiang Ranli had no way to escape even if he wanted to.
"Don't worry, mother is actually very easy to get along with. The reason why she treated you like that that day was because she was bewitched by Dong E."
On the way to Yiku Palace, Yinzhen carefully comforted Jiang Ranli, who was feeling very anxious.
Yikun Palace.
Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen bowed to Concubine Yi together.
"My son meets my mother and pays his respects to her."
"My humble servant greets you, mother. May you live long and healthy lives."
When Concubine Yi looked at Yinzhen, her eyes were filled with smiles, but when her gaze shifted to Jiang Ranli, only disgust remained.
Jiang Ranli was very confused about this and didn't know why Concubine Yi disliked her so much.
"Mother, why did you call us here so late? Is there something wrong?" Yinzhen asked.
Hearing her son's voice, Concubine Yi shifted her gaze from Jiang Ranli, "Mother can only call you when there is something?"
"Of course not," Yinzhen shook his head.
Hearing him say this, Concubine Yi's face, which had been particularly favored by the years, was filled with smiles. "You haven't come to the palace to see me for a few days. I've been thinking about you every day. Today I heard that your father sent someone to call you."
"I have been busy with various affairs these days and have not had any free time. I am sorry to make you worry," Yinzhen replied guiltily.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi glanced at Jiang Ranli with her phoenix eyes and said, "It would be fine if you didn't come to the palace, but why hasn't Dong E come here? Counting the time, she hasn't been here for more than half a month."
"My son has punished her by putting her under house arrest." When Yin'er heard Concubine Yi talk about Dong E, his face suddenly became a little colder.
Seeing this, Concubine Yi frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I can handle this matter. You don't have to worry about it, mother." Yinzhen forced a smile and signaled Concubine Yi not to worry.
Next, Concubine Yi talked a lot with Yinzhen, but she never asked Jiang Ranli a single question from beginning to end, completely ignoring her.
In fact, Jiang Ranli also felt fortunate. If Concubine Yi had asked her all kinds of questions, she would not be able to cope with it. Now she was just left aside, which was just a small matter.
Fortunately, Yinzhen was smart and brought me some flat shoes. If I had been wearing high-heeled shoes at this time, I would have definitely fallen down.
Jiang Ranli was secretly glad, but before she could smile, Concubine Yi's next words made her freeze there.
"Now that the Crown Prince has been deposed and Thirteenth Prince has been imprisoned, you must be careful in your future actions. This time, His Majesty has entrusted you with the responsibility of organizing the Queen Mother's birthday. I think this will ease the pressure on you. So, you must do your best and don't make any mistakes at this time. An Jia, His Majesty has ordered you to cooperate with Old Nine. You must not be lazy or hide anything. You must assist Old Nine with all your heart. Do you understand?"
