Chapter 123 The Jade Pendant Saved the Little Princess' Life

The Emperor and Empress were both startled when they heard their daughter's words.

The Empress hurriedly checked her daughter's back.

"Did that bastard hurt the princess?" Xia Zhengqi blurted out.

Nanny Li said with a guilty look on her face, "She stabbed the princess in the back."

Xia Zhengqi, the Empress, and the Second Prince all stood up in shock.

"However, the princess is blessed by heaven. The knife just happened to stab the jade pendant, which broke the tip of the knife. The little princess is fine."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and sat back in their chairs.

[Thanks to the quality of this jade pendant! ] Xia Miaoyuan was still terrified.

The Empress then discovered that her daughter was wearing a jade pendant around her neck, which was the one given by the Crown Prince before.

Because the jade pendant was too big, Xia Miaoyuan looked out of place when wearing it, so she had not worn it.

Now the jade pendant has broken into two pieces.

Nanny Li felt in her sleeve pocket and took out half of the jade pendant and handed it to the queen.

"The little princess was too playful to sleep, so she took out all her gifts and wore them one by one. Later, she fell asleep while playing."

Nanny Li narrated slowly.

"I took these jewels off her, but the jade pendant fell off."

"When Jiang Qiqiu stabbed the little princess from behind, the jade pendant happened to be on her back. I guess the princess must have slipped onto her back while she was not sleeping well." "When

Jiang Qiqiu was committing the crime, the tip of the knife happened to stab the jade pendant."

Xia Zhengqi punched his legs excitedly, sighing repeatedly: "Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

Debao and others on the side flattered her, saying: "The little princess is really a fairy who has descended to the earth, and is protected by the gods! The bad guys can't hurt her even if they want to."

[That's right, this princess is a fairy who has descended to the earth, and is protected by a golden-armored god, and has the attribute of turning danger into safety. ]

[Evil demons, retreat, retreat, retreat! 】

Xia Miaoyuan became more and more proud as he thought about it, and couldn't help but bragging about it, but the emperor, empress, and the second prince beside him believed it to be true and were greatly shocked.

Wow, haha, it turns out that our little princess is really a fairy.

With a little princess, wouldn't the Great Xia be able to last forever!

Xia Zhengqi calmed down and returned to the question just now: "You said that Jiang Qiqiu looks completely different from before?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Jiang Qiqiu looked too scary. Her eyes were vicious, like a devil." There was a flash of panic in Li Ma's eyes.

The second prince spoke up and said, "Indeed, what Nanny Li said is right."

"When I arrived, she was pinching my sister's neck. She was very strong. She didn't look like a normal person at all."

The second prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Did she stay in the cold palace for too long and became insane?"

At this time, Cheng Feng and Ying Chen walked to the door, and Xia Zhengqi hurriedly called them in.

Xia Zhengqi asked seriously, "What did you find out in Qiuyue Pavilion? Why was Jiang Qiqiu able to get out?"

Cheng Feng reported, "The two guards guarding Qiuyue Pavilion are both missing. The back door of Qiuyue Pavilion is not locked. I guess the person went out through the back door."

Then the emperor and empress called the eunuchs and palace maids to question them. They all said that they smelled a strange smell and then fainted in a daze.

Obviously, she was poisoned by the incense. The more Xia Zhengqi

thought about it, the more headache he had.

Why did Jiang Qiqiu go crazy out of nowhere?

Who was the one who poisoned her and let her out?

Could it be the empress dowager?

Xia Zhengqi couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to let people continue investigating.

The next morning, the empress dowager led several concubines to visit Kunning Palace.

"I didn't expect that Jiang Qiqiu would go crazy and run out to hurt people. It's really a sin." The empress dowager played the sympathy card right from the start.

[Humph, you old woman are quite good at acting. If the evil concubine had killed me, you would be so happy. ]

[Could it be that Jiang Qiqiu, the evil concubine, was released by you? ]

Xia Miaoyuan sat on the couch, fiddling with her toys and complaining.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Although the queen disliked the queen mother, she pretended to be indifferent for the sake of face.

Concubine Xian, Concubine Li, Concubine Rong and others also greeted Xia Miaoyuan.

The queen mother seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Concubine Xian: "Fangfei, take out the calming incense."

[Huh? What did the queen mother call Concubine Xian? Fangfei? ]

Xia Miaoyuan was stunned when he heard the word Fangfei.

[Concubine Xian's maiden name is Fangfei, so is her surname Niu? ]

[Niu Fangfei, that's Liang Chaozong's sister! ]

In the original book, there were quite a few concubines in the harem of the Great Xia. When Xia Miaoyuan first read the book, he was always confused about the titles of those concubines, but he remembered the name Niu Fangfei very deeply.

So she only remembered the princess of the fallen country hiding in the harem, whose alias was Niu Fangfei, but she forgot what her title was.

Although she had been in Daxia for almost a year, she didn't know her nickname because she had very little contact with Concubine Xian.

She glanced at Concubine Xian in horror, and then quickly retracted her gaze.

[It must be her.]

[Even if I didn't ask her last name, it must be her. Among the concubines of Daxia, there was only one named Fangfei, Niu Fangfei.]

Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts suddenly returned to the plot in the book.

Concubine Xian smiled respectfully and took a box from the palace maid.

She opened the box and showed the contents to the queen, saying, "This is a calming incense. The little princess just got frightened. If she can't sleep at night, lighting this will help her sleep."

The queen dowager added, "Fang Fei specially asked her father to find someone to prepare this. It was originally for me to treat insomnia. Suddenly this happened last night, so I said I would give this incense to Miao'er."

The queen forced a smile and said, "My mother and Concubine Xian are so thoughtful."

The Queen was chatting with the Empress Dowager and the others on the surface, but she was still thinking about her daughter's thoughts in her heart. Her daughter just said that Concubine Xian was actually Liang Chaozong's sister? !

Liang Chaozong was the prince of a fallen country, so wasn't she the princess of a fallen country!

Wasn't she the daughter of Lord Niu? How could she be Liang Chaozong's sister?

The Empress Dowager and the others chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left.

The Queen was still thinking about her daughter's unfinished thoughts, so she quickly sat next to Xia Miaoyuan and picked up the calming incense.

"This Concubine Xian and the Empress Dowager are really mean enough." The Queen pretended to talk to Yingxue and deliberately led the topic to Concubine Xian.

"Yes, a box of incense, sent by two people together. Whose intention is it?" Yingxue sneered from the side.

The queen looked up at her daughter's expression and said calmly, "What are you talking about? It was Concubine Xian's father who arranged this for her. It must have been given to Lord Niu as a gift."

[Wow! Concubine Xian is really Niu Fangfei!] Xia Miaoyuan bit her nails in shock.

[I remember it was written in the book that Liang State still had a princess, who was Liang Chaozong's biological sister.]

[Back then, there was a minister named Niu. The ancestors of the Niu family were old ministers of Liang State and still had private connections with the remaining forces of Liang State.]

The queen was suddenly shocked when she heard this.

What? The ancestors of this Lord Niu Baijin were actually old ministers of Liang State!

[It was through the Niu family that Liang Chaozong's sister entered the harem of Daxia.]

[She used the pseudonym Niu Fangfei, pretending to be the daughter of the Niu family, and entered the palace as a concubine. 】

【She endured in the harem for more than ten years, just to pass on information to her brother. It can be said to be a senior detail in the book. 】
