Ye Qianning took the last bite of the cake, and Concubine Zhan poured her a glass of water.
She held the cup and drank it slowly. It seemed that there was no need to go to Concubine Yuan's residence. Her hands were really long.
The poison had just seeped into the pastries. She secretly observed the palace maid who had just served the pastries. She was pretty and well-behaved, and she kept her head down and stood on the left side of Concubine Zhan.
"What are you looking at?" Concubine Zhan turned back without noticing her gaze.
"She looks familiar to me." Ye Qianning raised his little hand and pointed at the palace maid.
The palace maid's face froze slightly. Although it was only for a moment, Ye Qianning noticed it. There was indeed something wrong.
"How could you possibly look familiar to her? Hong Cui has been living in Xiangxue Garden since she entered the palace and has never left the palace." Concubine Zhan smiled and looked away.
"No, I did see her." Ye Qianning pretended to meditate, and suddenly her face relaxed and she said in a daze: "I remember that the last time I entered the palace, I saw her at the corner of Concubine Yuan's palace. At that time, she was arguing with people in Concubine Yuan's palace."
The palace maid shuddered.
Concubine Zhan turned her head again, her eyes scrutinizing, “Hong Cui, are you quarreling with Concubine Yuan’s maid?”
"No, I dare not." Hong Cui suddenly knelt on the ground.
Ye Qianning jumped off the chair in dissatisfaction: "Are you saying that I'm lying?"
Hong Cui looked up at Ye Qianning and said, "Miss Xiang, this servant, this servant has never been to Concubine Yuan's palace."
Ye Qianning frowned and turned around angrily: "The Imperial Concubine is her. She is so mean. She even accused me of lying. Fatty never lies. I just met her."
"I know that Fatty never lies."
"I didn't lie in the first place, what a hateful palace maid." Ye Qianning was indignant.
Hong Cui was terrified: "My Lady Imperial Concubine..."
"Okay, I told Miss that I have seen you, and that means I have seen you. Hongzhu, take Hongcui back to the room to avoid embarrassment." Concubine Zhan said coldly.
"yes."
Hongzhu pulled Hongcui up and started crying with an innocent look on her face.
"Hmph." Ye Qianning snorted arrogantly at the figure.
"Okay, it's not worth getting angry over a palace maid." Concubine Zhan touched her head, and she knew what was going on.
Ye Qianning raised his eyes and met Concubine Zhan's gaze, and smiled. As long as she understood, that was good.
Otherwise, the baby in her belly will not be able to be born!
Emperor Beili just glanced at it and didn't care, he just thought the child lacked manners.
"Little girl, I heard that you no longer go to Loushan Academy. Why is that?"
"You can study at home as well. Loushan is too far away." Ye Qianning said.
"You don't have to walk no matter how far. I heard that you have to be held in your arms and fed at home. Your age is the best time for enlightenment. You can't be so lazy."
"Your Majesty, she is fat and her movements are somewhat clumsy. With her small steps, it will probably take her a whole day to walk around the general's mansion." Concubine Zhan continued.
"It is precisely this Ben Zhui who needs training. There is no one in charge of your family, and now he is very noisy. He needs to be supervised and taught. You should send two capable maidservants to the general's residence today." Emperor Beili did not like her ruthless and unyielding character.
Mammy?
That won’t do!
"I don't want it." Ye Qianning retorted.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the maids in the palace are unable to take care of everything. I will select some capable palace maids and send them over to take care of her in a few days." Concubine Zhan heard her mother talk about some little girls.
She likes quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed. Usually, no one is allowed to enter or leave the yard at will.
"Okay, at least pick some smart ones and teach her well to avoid any trouble in the future." Emperor Beili did not refuse the imperial concubine.
"yes."
Concubine Zhan agreed with a smile.
Although Ye Qianning was very dissatisfied, he did not want to contradict the emperor because of this matter.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Yintang requests to see you regarding an urgent matter." The Embroidered Uniform Guard came hurriedly to report.
"Send him in."
"yes."
The Embroidered Uniform Guard withdrew.
Ye Qianning knew Yuan Yintang. This man had been wandering around Kyoto City for many days. Every time he appeared near the General's Mansion, the poisonous insects in the space would be put to sleep by the drugs and their bodies would move like pupae.
The aura on his body left a deep impression on the insect. If it hadn't used space, it would have been impossible to escape tracking.
Yuan Yintang hurried in, dressed in a black cloak: "Your Highness."
"Get up."
Yuan Yintang stood up and saw the little kid in the hall. His gaze lingered for a moment, then he quickly turned to Emperor Beili: "Your Majesty, I have something very important to discuss with you alone."
Emperor Beili was suspicious: "Did the person who stole the Gu worm find it?"
"No, it's about the Eighth Prince." When Yuan Yintang mentioned the Eighth Prince, there was a hint of excitement and excitement in his eyes.
When Ye Qianning heard Sang Zhi, he became alert. His eyes fell on his emotions and narrowed. What was there in Sang Zhi's current situation that made him so excited?
"The Eighth Prince?" Emperor Beili had no interest in Sang Zhi.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is very important. Please move aside."
Emperor Beili was silent for a while before he stood up and said, "My beloved concubine, I will not accompany you at noon."
"Your Majesty, please go and deal with it. I have Fatty to accompany me." Concubine Zhan also stood up.
Emperor Beili nodded and walked towards the door.
Yuan Yintang bowed to the imperial concubine and left the room, following the emperor out of Xiangxue Garden.
Ye Qianning watched the two of them leave, with a vague bad feeling in her heart. She had already found out exactly what kind of person Yuan Yintang was.
It must be a big deal that can make him so excited and take it seriously.
"Fatty, come here. I'll have someone serve the meal." Concubine Zhan waved at her.
"Your Highness, I have something else to do. I'll come to see you another day." Ye Qianning didn't have time to wait for the Royal Concubine Zhan's response and walked out the door.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a nectar-sucking bird landing at the gate of Xiangxue Garden, chirping.
"Fatty, what's the matter?" Concubine Zhan chased her out of the door, fearing that she would run around in the palace.
Ye Qianning didn't say anything, her eyes fixed on the honey sucker on the wall. Suddenly, her brows tightened and her face darkened.
"Fatty, don't run around in the palace. If you have any questions, tell me and I'll help..."
"I want to leave the palace." Ye Qianning turned around and interrupted.
Concubine Zhan was stunned.
"Your Highness, I want to leave the palace immediately."
Concubine Zhan reacted: "Okay, I will have someone escort you out of the palace right away."
"Thank you, Madam."
"What a thank you for a family." The imperial concubine said, turning around and ordering the eunuch beside her: "Xiao Quanzi, escort Miss Xiang out of the palace immediately."
"yes."
Xiao Quanzi saluted and before he could greet Ye Qianning, Ye Qianning hurried towards the courtyard gate.
The small circle quickly followed.
Concubine Zhan looked at her impatient expression, not knowing what was going on. She called out worriedly, "Fatty."
Ye Qianning stopped and looked back.
"If you encounter a problem and cannot handle it, please send someone to come to me. No matter what happens, I will stand on your side." Concubine Zhan took a few steps forward.
Ye Qianning's face was cold and resolute. She nodded and left without saying a word.
Xiao Quanzi couldn't catch up even if he walked quickly, and he was puzzled as to why Miss Xiang was in such a hurry to leave the palace.
Ye Qianning walked quickly, not caring about hiding in an empty place, and headed straight for the palace gate, where he met Du Yi who was rushing over.
Du Yiyi was dressed in Jinyiwei armor and looked anxious: "Miss."
"What's going on?" Ye Qianning asked coldly.
"I don't know either. When I finished my shift and returned to Xihua Garden in the morning, the Eighth Prince had disappeared. And I found this on the Eighth Prince's desk." Du Yi handed the note in his sleeve to Ye Qianning.
Ye Qianning took it, and a row of fonts came into view, his eyes deep.
Who was it that tricked Sang Zhi out of the palace under her name?
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"You stay in the palace and pay attention to Yuan Yintang's movements. If he makes any moves, send me a message immediately."
"yes."
Xiao Quanzi chased for a long time before he saw Ye Qianning stopped and said, "Miss Xiang, please walk slowly."
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry. If you delay me, I'll kill you." Ye Qianning said coldly and started walking.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Quanzi quickened his pace.
When Ye Qianning was about to reach the palace gate, a nectar sucker landed on her shoulder, pecking her head and saying something.
"Out of town?"
The honey sucker nodded its little head and flew over her head again.
“But there are birds following.”
The honeyeater called a few times, flapped its wings and flew towards the sky.
Ye Qianning's face was gloomy. He used her to lure Sang Zhi out of the city. The way Yuan Yintang mentioned Sang Zhi, could it be such a coincidence?
All the way out of the palace.
Luo Wen, who was waiting at the palace gate, saw his young lady coming out and drove forward.
"Miss, why did you leave the palace so early?"
"Unload the horse." Ye Qianning said coldly.
Luo Wen was stunned and turned around to unload the carriage.
Ye Qianning jumped onto the horse and galloped out.
"Miss." Luo Wen was shocked and didn't know what was going on. He used his lightness skills to chase after her.
Ye Qianning's figure was very small, with his little hands holding the reins, and the horse was running fast.
"Ouch, whose horse is frightened?"
"There's a child on it, oh my god..."
"The child is in danger. The frightened horse is running too fast."
Outsiders were shocked to see the horse running out of control and carrying a little baby, which frightened them all.
Gu Shuo and Zhan Chi were sitting in the attic. When they heard the exclamation, they both looked towards the noisy crowd. When they saw it, they both stood up immediately.
There was shock in their eyes. Wasn't that their little baby teetering on the horse's back?
Without thinking too much, the two of them jumped directly from the attic.
The horse was running so fast that I couldn't catch up with it using Qing Gong. After chasing for a while, I finally found a horse tied to the street. I didn't care about anything else, I just grabbed the horse and jumped on it.
Ye Qianning was too small to reach the stirrups, and his whole body was shaking on the horse's back. It took him a while to gradually find his balance.
"Hurry up, I want to leave the city." Ye Qianning lay on the horse's back, holding the horse's neck with his little hands.
"hiss."
The horse was very excited and raised its front hooves and ran faster.
It was noon, the weather was hot, and there were not many people on the street except for the carriages passing by. The horses were galloping all the way.
Wherever he passed, there was a sigh of relief, and on the horse's back was a little child lying.
The Qian family guard watched the horse pass by in front of them. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked into the carriage in surprise and said, "Master, it seems that Miss Xiang is on the horse's back."
