Xiurong thought that Xiao Xia Zi was someone close to the emperor, so it would be a good idea to ask Xiao Xia Zi.

Having made up her mind, Xiurong quickly walked towards Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Xia Zi was in a hurry to get on the road, and was not happy when someone blocked her way. She immediately said in annoyance.

"The emperor has ordered us to do our job. Anyone who dares to block the way, please get out of the way!"

Xiurong bowed to Xiao Xiazi with a smile, and before saying anything, she stuffed a purse into Xiao Xiazi's arms.

Lady Wan was generous to her servants and always reminded them that they should not be stingy with money.

With Concubine Wan's words in mind, Xiurong felt sorry for the ten taels of silver in her purse, but she still took it out.

Xiao Xia Zi followed Yinzhen and received many benefits from the eunuchs and palace daughters under him, and she became accustomed to such behavior.

His tone softened for a moment.

"I don't know this sister. What can I do for you? If you need anything, please come quickly.

I have some errands to run!"

When Xiurong saw that Xiao Xiazi's tone had softened, she secretly sighed that she had made the right decision by picking up this purse.

She first stroked her hair, bowed to Xiao Xia Zi, and then said with a smile.

"Hello, Eunuch Xia. My name is Xiurong, and I work for Suiyuxuan. I know that Eunuch Xia is busy.
But I just want to ask on behalf of our young master, is the emperor free to see our young master today?"

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xiazi with a pair of bright eyes.

Such a humble and gentle character was very much to Xiao Xiazi's liking. In addition, with the heavy purse, Xiao Xiazi also laughed, and her tone was much more sincere.

"Miss Xiurong, the emperor is in Yikun Palace today. Please go back and tell Miss Wan,

"You can ask to see the emperor another day. The emperor is busy today!"

After saying that, Xiao Xia Zi hurried to leave.

Xiurong stopped him again and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty will be in Yikun Palace all day today?"

Xiao Xiazi looked around and couldn't help herself, so she whispered.

"Let me tell you quietly, something big happened in Yikun Palace today!

Just let your young master stay quietly in Suiyuxuan.

Lest the emperor vent his anger on you, the irrelevant people!"

Xiurong had heard that something big had happened in Yikun Palace, and seeing that Xiao Xiazi was so mysterious, she had been curious for a long time.

Helplessly, Xiao Xiazi had already left in a hurry, and Xiurong didn't want to bother him any more, so she hurried back to Shuiyuxuan.

Xiurong repeated to Concubine Wan what she had seen with Xiao Xia Zi on the street, but she was not on guard against anyone and just told the story casually as if it was a strange thing.

After hearing this, Concubine Wan and Cui Jinxi looked at each other, and they both came up with a plan in their minds.

I'm afraid this is the batch of things that were sent before the New Year, and something went wrong.

Just don't know.
Cui Jinxi shook her head gently, and Concubine Wan understood and smiled at Xiurong who was still looking up waiting for praise.

"Forget it, since the emperor is busy today, I will go and see him another day.

Go get the money you spent from Eunuch Li, there is also a reward."

When Xiurong heard this, she realized it was just as she thought. The money was not wasted and there was even a reward. She thanked Li Yibai profusely and went downstairs happily to find him.

After Xiurong went out, the smile on Concubine Wan's face disappeared instantly, and she said to Cui Jinxi with concern.

"Jinxi, I always feel uneasy. You know, I just want to go with the flow.

What if, what if the Fourth Prince was poisoned?
I actually never intended to harm the Fourth Prince, but, but..."

Cui Jinxi comforted Concubine Wan.

"My lady, don't panic. Xiurong just came back and said that something big happened in Yikun Palace.
It didn't say whether it was poisoning or related to those items. Maybe it was something else? Besides, if the Fourth Prince was in trouble,

I'm afraid the whole palace is busy right now.

The fourth prince is the emperor's favorite child.

Xiao Xiazi didn't say anything, so I guess what happened in Yikun Palace was something else.

My dear, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that you have taken that step,
Next, we should think about how to get ourselves out of this situation.
Let the person who wants to harm you come to light."

Concubine Wan gradually calmed down and said.

"You're right. We shouldn't lose our composure. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light."

Cui Jinxi was about to respond when she heard a sudden commotion outside.

The door was opened and Li Yibai walked in holding Luo Yu in his hand.

"My lady, you were talking with Miss Jinxi in the room just now.
The servant saw her eavesdropping on the door, and then hurried out.

I felt that it was inappropriate, so I took it upon myself to capture it!"

Lady Wan suddenly sneered and clapped her hands three times.

"Okay, I was afraid that you wouldn't jump out on your own. Now it's all right."

She asked Li Yibai again in a cold voice.

"Have you found out what I asked you to check? How are the preparations going?"

Li Yibai tied Luo Yu up tightly in no time, then took out a piece of cloth that he had prepared in his arms and stuffed it into her mouth to prevent her from shouting.

"Reporting to the young master, I have already found out. The place where Luo Yu often goes is Qixiang Palace.

However, the person she had close contact with was Xiaochun, a maid in Qixiang Palace.

The two of them kept close contact by pretending to learn embroidery patterns from each other, but in fact they were secretly in an affair! "

Although Luo Yu was tied up, she still struggled and tried to shake her head to get the cloth out of her mouth.

Concubine Wan looked at her with disgust and said coldly.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a chance to speak in a moment!"

Concubine Wan ordered Li Yibai to drag Luo Yu to the side hall. She wanted to personally interrogate this servant girl about how she betrayed her.

Li Yibai had just dragged the struggling Luo Yu out of the door when he saw Su Peisheng coming with his men.

Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat. Before she could prepare herself mentally, she heard Su Peisheng's polite words.

"Good luck to the noble lady Wan. The emperor wants you to come to the Yikun Palace for a chat."

Concubine Wan calmed herself down and said with a smile.

"Thank you for making this trip, Eunuch Su, but the Emperor is
Should he be having breakfast with Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace?
Why not wait a little while until the Emperor and the Empress finish their breakfast?
Shall I go again?"

Su Peisheng was still very polite, but his words were not so polite.

"Lady Wan, the Emperor has summoned you to see me, and no one dares to refuse.

Even if you don't want to see the emperor, you have to go and talk to the emperor yourself~
I dare not say anything in front of the emperor.

I'm sure you also know the consequences of disobeying the order."

Cui Jinxi gently pulled on Concubine Wan's clothes from behind. Concubine Wan understood and stopped refusing.

She only said that she didn't want to disturb the emperor's meal, and she happened to have something else to ask the emperor, and wanted to wait until the emperor had breakfast before going, but now she had to go.

So she asked Su Peisheng to lead the way, and Li Yibai didn't have to drag Luoyu to the side hall of Suiyuxuan, he just had to follow behind Concubine Wan.

Along the way, all the palace people they met respectfully made way for Concubine Wan and her entourage, and just waited for them to pass by. Those curious eyes followed Luo Yu, who was dragged by Li Yibai.

When Concubine Wan and her group arrived at Yikun Palace, Luo Yu was dragged away, and the news that Su Peisheng was leading the way was like having wings, flying all over the harem. (End of this chapter)
