Chapter 124 Delivering Pastries

In the early morning of the next day, Feng Shun went to the palace to deliver the paperwork.

Princess Pingshan went to Qinghou Mansion.

It just so happened that Xiao Zhiyun forgot to take the pastry Yu Guyu made for them yesterday, and went to Qinghou Mansion to pick it up, and met Princess Pingshan.

Xiao Zhiyun knew what Fengshun was going to say yesterday after listening to Princess Pingshan's explanation of her visit.

Master Qing Han said: "Eldest Princess, it's not that we don't want to help you, but that we really can't help you."

Princess Pingshan smiled awkwardly, "Why can't you help me? You are Lord Qing, His Majesty's mighty general who protects the country, and the eldest girl is a crown princess. This is not a matter of words."

Lord Qing lowered his eyes slightly, but said nothing.

Xiao Zhiyun, who was sitting on the side, said, "Does the Eldest Princess know that a word may cause bad things?"

"Oh?" Princess Pingshan looked puzzled.

Xiao Zhiyun felt that this person was a bit thick-skinned.

"Eldest princess, if I really beg for your second son to come to the imperial court, what do you think His Majesty will think of him? If the eldest princess of Qishan finds out and goes to the imperial court to say a few words, the second son's career may be ruined." Xiao Zhiyun Pushed the matter to Princess Qishan.

Princess Pingshan was thinking, with hatred in her eyes.

Princess Qishan has more face than her in front of the imperial court.

After thinking about it, she said again: "What if the matter is finalized with His Majesty in advance? It's useless even if A Bao is sloppy."

Xiao Zhiyun smiled and said: "I'm afraid that what I say will be useless. Your Majesty always praises me for not talking much in front of the imperial court. He said so on the day when the Crown Princess was elected."

Princess Pingshan didn't go, so she naturally didn't know.

Xiao Zhiyun and Master Qing declined in turn, sending Princess Pingshan away.

However, Princess Pingshan had disappointment in her eyes when she left, and she also blamed the two of them, but she didn't say it out.

Xiao Zhiyun was so angry that he threw the handkerchief in his hand on the ground, "Who are you!"

Lord Qing didn't take it seriously, "Don't be angry."

After Princess Pingshan went back, she couldn't help venting her anger at Xiao Ayuan.

"Is there a sister-in-law like you? I don't know how to help. What's the use of marrying you, I can't help at all."

Princess Pingshan was chattering endlessly, but Xiao Ayuan just stood quietly and listened, neither replying nor refuting.

"I thought the general who protects the country and the younger sister of the princess has more face, but in the end, some trivial matters can't be done. This daughter-in-law is married for nothing. It's really a waste of my Feng family's betrothal gift."

Xiao Ayuan still couldn't hold back, "I brought back all the dowry that Auntie said, and there is a dowry that is three times more than the dowry, where is it wasted?"

This is empty-handed white wolf...

Princess Pingshan frowned and said, "You still dare to talk back?"

At this time Feng Yu came over.

"Aniang, brother and sister-in-law don't want to, I can do it on my own." Feng Yu was displeased, as if he was not satisfied with Feng Shun either.

Princess Pingshan attacked indiscriminately: "Rely on yourself? The master who taught you said that you are not that kind of material, why don't I give up my old face and find a job for you."

Feng Yu took a deep breath, with impatience in his eyes.

Princess Pingshan continued to complain.

Suddenly Feng Shun opened the door and came in, holding a booklet in his hand.

Xiao Ayuan rushed to meet him, and after meeting their eyes, they walked up to Princess Pingshan.

"Aniang." Feng Shun clasped his fists and said.

Princess Pingshan snorted coldly and ignored it.

After Feng Shun stood up straight, he said, "I asked to be released back to my hometown, and His Majesty has already agreed."

Princess Pingshan couldn't sit still immediately, she stood up and screamed: "What?"

Feng Yu also said in disbelief: "Brother would rather leave than help me?"

Feng Shun looked at Feng Yu, "What you want, you have to fight for yourself, you have to know what you want?"

After all, he pulled Xiao Ayuan away.

Feng Yu said viciously: "I want everything you have!"

Princess Pingshan sat down on the chair, she didn't expect this to happen.

After Fengshun and Xiao Ayuan returned to their residence, they immediately started to pack their things and prepared to leave.

Xiao Ayuan suddenly remembered something, "Your Majesty said, let me make cakes for the Queen Mother, I haven't done it yet, why don't I make some and let my sister bring them into the palace?"

Feng Shun thought for a while, "Okay."

Xiao Ayuan hurriedly went to the small kitchen.

When Xiao Ayuan finished his work, he handed over the food box to Erlu, and left with Fengshun.

Erlu took the food box and went to Qinghou Mansion.

When Xiao Zhiyun knew, Fengshun and Xiao Ayuan had already left.

Xiao Zhiyun froze on the spot, "She left without saying goodbye to me?"

Erlu said: "They heard that Princess Pingshan came to look for you, so they were embarrassed to come to the door, and they will confess their crimes when they meet later."

Xiao Zhiyun sighed, "What's there to be embarrassed about!"

However, everyone has left, and there is nothing they can do.

Xiao Zhiyun returned to the palace with the cakes, and she went directly to Xiangyi Hall.

After handing over the food box to Xuezhi, she hurried to find Prince Zhao.

Prince Zhao sighed after hearing this: "Feng Shun is considered a good person, if he can do this for A Yuan, there is nothing to worry about."

Xiao Zhiyun felt that this was a good statement, so she nodded.

In the afternoon, Xiangyi Hall suddenly announced that the imperial physician said that the Empress Dowager Xie Yu had passed out.

Prince Zhao and Xiao Zhiyun hurried over to visit.

Several imperial physicians discussed for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that the Empress Dowager Xie Yu had been poisoned.

When inspecting the food, everything else was fine, only the cakes sent by Xiao Zhiyun...

Xiao Zhiyun clenched her fists.

It is impossible for Xiao Ayuan to poison. Since the pastry comes from the Feng family, it is natural that Princess Pingshan cannot escape.

But the food was made by Xiao Ayuan and delivered by her.

Prince Zhao frowned after hearing this.

He immediately went to the imperial court to tell the old emperor about it, and with the old emperor's permission, he took people to Feng's house to search.

Xiao Zhiyun stayed with Empress Xieyu.

Not long after, Princess Qishan and County Lord Xue also entered the palace.

After knowing the situation, Princess Qishan angrily walked towards Xiao Zhiyun.

Xiao Zhiyun was so frightened by her aura that she backed away repeatedly.

Seeing this, County Master Xue hurriedly pulled Princess Qishan back, "Aniang, the matter is not yet settled."

Princess Qishan looked at Xiao Zhiyun, pointed to her nose and said, "It's better not you."

After finishing speaking, she knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Xie Yu's bed and wept.

Empress Xie Yu was so disturbed that she opened her eyes, slightly raised her hands and said, "Everyone go out."

Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager Xie Yu said to Xiao Zhiyun: "Go and make two cups of tea, and Ah Bao will stay here."

Xiao Zhiyun obeyed the order.

With the help of Xuezhi, she made two cups of tea.

As soon as she entered the door with tea, she saw the Empress Dowager Xie Yu who was holding the collar of Princess Qishan got up slightly.

The Empress Dowager Xie Yu's eyes widened and said: "You stop, Ah Bao."

While speaking, the Empress Dowager Xie Yu saw Xiao Zhiyun, she let go of her hand, and lay powerlessly on the couch.

She pointed to Xiao Zhiyun, "After I leave, all belongings will belong to Crown Princess Xiao."

Princess Qishan immediately stood up, "Aniang, what are you talking about?"

The Empress Dowager Xie Yu lowered her arms, as if she saw something, "Xie Jiao, you have harmed my sister and me, I curse you to die in your next life!"

After saying that, the Empress Dowager Xie Yu got a stalk in her neck and stopped moving.

Princess Qishan panicked, "Aunt?"

She stretched out her hand to test, then suddenly withdrew her hand and took two steps back. She seemed to be unable to breathe, and made a strange ah-ah sound.

Seeing Princess Qishan like this, Xiao Zhiyun knew that the Empress Dowager Jieyu had passed away...

Xuezhi, who heard the voice, rushed in, knelt down and wept uncontrollably.
