Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1168 The Duplicitous Woman

Ever since she disobeyed Pang Huang and Xiao Hou's orders at the palace banquet, Pang Zhijing has been under house arrest and can't go anywhere.

In the past two days at the station, she could often see the envoys coming in and out through the window, plotting something.

Obviously, Pang Huang suffered a serious loss because of her desperate move. I heard that Xiao Hou refused to discuss with their people because of this matter. Until this morning, she saw the gloom on their faces disappear. So empty, it was confirmed that Xiao Hou ended up taking Joe, and officially cooperated with Pang Huang again.

She also breathed a sigh of relief, so that she no longer has to endure the cold eyes of these people.

Although the food is not harsh on her, but always staying here, like a canary in a cage, what's the point of being alive?
Moreover, after not seeing Xiao Hou for a few days, she found that she missed him a little bit. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was really tempted by him.

Hey, this person looks like a full stomach, she should stop it!

Yes, before the poisoning is too deep, she wants to get out as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, she suddenly found that the guards guarding her had been removed, and she was overjoyed. Does this mean that the house arrest was lifted?

"Let's go to Prince Yi's Mansion!"

Uh, even though I thought I'd never see him again, but—

Women are so duplicity!

Hehe, thinking about it this way, she went out with someone without any pressure.

As she sat in the carriage, she nervously thought about what reason she would use when she saw him later.

The weather is good recently, I come to your place for a stroll?

No no no, it's too fake!

I haven't seen you for several days, so I came here to see if you've lost weight or gained weight?
Uh, something is wrong with you!
I'm just full. Do you have any questions?

Poof—he probably threw him out of the palace after he finished speaking.

Just when she was getting upset, the maid next to her said, "Princess, Prince Yi's mansion is here."

So fast?
Forget it, let's do it.

She got out of the carriage dejectedly.

As soon as they saw her carriage, the servants at the entrance of the palace graciously helped to lead it. As soon as she entered the door, a housekeeper came to greet her, and the servants who came and went also came to salute with great winking.

Pang Zhijing was frightened by such a warm and hospitable atmosphere, she asked the maid, "What's wrong with them?"

The maid smiled and said, "Because you will be their mistress in a month, so of course I should respect you, it's human nature."

When she heard the words "hostess", she was still a little excited inside, which was really embarrassing.

Pang Zhijing thought that she had to establish a good image, so she immediately straightened her back and walked vigorously.

Then when she nervously walked into Xiao Hou's yard, she found that he was not there.

"Where's your lord?" she asked the housekeeper.

The housekeeper glanced at the empty courtyard, and said in a rather sad tone, "Today is the death day of Concubine Luo, Your Highness should have gone out."

"Who is Concubine Luo?" Pang Zhijing was a little puzzled.

"My lord's biological mother passed away when my lord was six years old." The housekeeper sighed.

Pang Zhijing was suffocated and lost her mother at the age of six. What kind of sad thing is it in that cannibalistic palace?There is only one emperor, but there are 3000 beauties in the harem, fighting openly and secretly, and the weak prey on the strong. What's more, he is still a prince, and it is really a blessing to survive.

"Princess, are you okay?" Seeing that she looked a little strange, the steward asked quickly.

Pang Zhijing twitched the corner of her mouth, "It's okay, by the way, do you know where he is now?"

"It should be outside the city. In previous years, the princes would go there."

After getting the seat, Pang Zhijing didn't linger for a moment, and hurried out of the city with her maid in a carriage.

The butler watched their carriage disappear into the street, with a gratified smile on his face, Miss, don't worry, the future princess is very cute, maybe she can take away the hatred in the prince's heart.

Chaoyang Palace.

Empress Liang is ordering someone to help her try out the new product that Chu Qingyan sent her.

"Your Majesty, don't tell me, these things instantly brighten the complexion when applied on the face, and even the skin is much more delicate." Luo Yun sighed while watching the little palace maid's movements.

Empress Liang stretched out her hand, seeing that the back of her hand was much whiter and tenderer than before, she couldn't help but curled her lips and smiled, "These things are really miraculous, even His Majesty praised me a few days ago, as if I have returned to the appearance when I was sixteen or seventeen years old. , as expected, this woman still needs to be taken care of, no matter how old she is."

"The empress is still young, and she is naturally beautiful. Adding these decorations will make it even more beautiful." Luo Yun flattered her.

Empress Liang gave her an angry look, "It's been so many years, and my mouth is still so poor!"

"This servant is telling the truth." Luo Yun replied with a smile.

Empress Liang caressed her face in the mirror happily, and she became more and more satisfied the more she looked at it, "To be honest, this palace is very reluctant to part with Chu Qingyan, but it's a pity that she is not flattering her."

Luo Yun agreed after hearing the words, "It can only be blamed on Miss Chu's poor family background, she can't help His Royal Highness, the empress is also thinking of His Highness. 0
"But, Xu'er can't understand Bengong's good intentions," said Empress Liang and sighed, "By the way, is there any news from Hongyi?"

"It has been ordered to deal with it, but the order has not been returned. It is estimated that the security is too strict and it is difficult to send messages." Luo Yun analyzed.

Empress Liang nodded, "Let's do things with clean hands and feet, and don't let Xu'er find the trace."

"Yes." Luo Yun remembered one thing, "By the way, my lady, I have already sent someone to investigate the matter of Miss Jing's falling into the water."

"tell me the story."

"According to some palace officials present, the one who appeared at the sinking point was supposed to be Miss Chu, but for some reason, it turned out to be Miss Jing in the end, and there are various indications that this matter was aimed at Miss Chu in the first place. "

Luo Yun analyzed according to the news he received, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, "This servant can't understand why Concubine Yue did this."

Empress Liang's complexion became a little ugly. Based on so many years of living experience in the harem, she immediately guessed the reason, and said in a harsh tone, "What else could be the reason? Xiao Ran fell in love with Chu Qingyan, so Concubine Yue did whatever she could to think about it." Through this method, Xu'er should dissolve the engagement, slap Ben Gong in the face, and satisfy Xiao Ran's wish by the way."

"Fourth Prince and Miss Chu?" Luo Yun was stunned.

Empress Liang sneered, "Didn't the folks hear about the two of them before? It seems that they are not just chasing rumors. Chu Qingyan still can't stand it!"

"Then the servant will send someone down to deal with her?" Luo Yun suggested.

Empress Liang waved her hand, "Don't act rashly for the time being, Hongyi's matter is not over yet, just wait."

And at this moment, a palace official walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, please see me, Your Highness."

Empress Liang was overjoyed, Xu'er hadn't entered the palace to see her for a long time, "Let him in."
