Ci Jinzhi

The girl wearing the clothes of a palace maid, bending down and lowering her head while carrying the injured palace maid on her back, has almost no sense of presence, but her presence is amazing at this moment.

Like a sharp knife, it stands out of place in a soft and quiet boudoir.

 Until now, Princess Xuan feels it is unreal.

"Miss Xin..." Princess Xuan chose the most appropriate title and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why did you—"

Will he be punished to death by his father?

 Princess Xuan did not say this. Even though she didn't know the cause and effect, she felt that it was outrageous for her father to kill Miss Xin.

Although Xinyou looked calm, her mind was a little dazed.

 When she chose to escape to the inner garden to buy time, she never expected that she would be protected by Princess Xuan.

This girl of her own age, a timid and unloved princess in the eyes of the people, realized that she was being hunted. Without hesitation, she pointed at the ancient tree on the mountainside to signal her to hide, then slashed the palace maid's calf, and pushed the palace maid away. Enter the cave.

 After a moment of consideration, Xin You chose to believe in the girl in front of her.

 “I can only talk to you alone.”

Princess Xuan ordered the maids to leave, and in an instant there were only two people left in the room.

Xin You lowered his voice: "I suspect that Jin Shang is being controlled by someone, even-"

 “Even what?”

 “Even changed people.”

Princess Xuan covered her mouth to stop her exclamation, her face so pale that there was no trace of blood: "Xin, Miss Xin, are you kidding me?"

Xin You smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, Princess, do you think I am a joke?"

"But...how is this possible..." Princess Xuan murmured, still not believing it.

"The yellow boat I was riding in caught fire, and I fell into the river for several days before being recovered. When King Xiu and I rushed back from Guangcheng, a few more days passed, and then I saw Jinshang until we arrived in the capital..." Xin You said in a calm voice , not only telling it to Princess Xuan, but also sorting it out.

“But if, as Miss Xin said, the emperor’s grandmother and aunt have both seen the emperor, wouldn’t they recognize him?”

"It is true that you may not recognize me." Xin You's tone was more certain. "Now everyone knows that I am in poor health, and there are not many people who can see me. When those ministers see me, they can't stay there for etiquette. Stare at Jin. But the Queen Mother and the eldest princess only saw Jin for a brief moment and never came close..."

“Then if the father is a fake, where is the real father?”

Xinyou shook his head.

By this time, she was not optimistic.

The people in the Qianqing Palace now may be fake, it's just her guess. If the guess is correct, it would be a good thing that the missing person is still alive. If he is no longer alive, then this lie will become true.

 The motherhood of the Queen Mother and the sisterhood of Princess Zhaoyang, their respect comes from that person. When that person doesn't care at all, he becomes a mirror.

"Miss Xin, are these just your guesses?" Princess Xuan asked after calming down.

Xin You was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Yes, it's just a guess I made after seeing Jin Shang today."

 She could not coax Princess Xuan who did not hesitate to protect her.

Princess Xuan lowered her head slightly, and after a while there was a slight movement outside the door.

“Your Highness, Ling’er and Huan’er are back.”

Princess Xuan's tense heartstrings relaxed and she looked at Xin You: "What will happen next?"

 “Let’s get out of the palace first and then talk about it.”

No matter whether the person in Qianqing Palace is real or fake, she will only die if she is trapped in the palace. As long as you can leave the palace, there will be more opportunities.

By this time, Xin You was more inclined to believe that his judgment was correct.

The man was so eager to kill her that he didn't even bother to pretend.

“Leaving the palace—” Princess Xuan thought, “I definitely can’t do it in these two days. You can hide in my room first and wait for me to check the situation.”

 “Thank you, Your Highness, Princess.”

Princess Xuan hesitated for a moment and swallowed her words so that Xinyou didn't have to call her "Her Royal Highness".

 Now is not the time to dwell on this.

After Xin You was settled, Princess Xuan went to Li Bin’s place. In the past few months, Libi was in a good mood every day and was busy preparing for her daughter to leave the palace.

“Xuan’er is here.” Concubine Li smiled broadly when she saw Princess Xuan.

 “Mother concubine, Xuan’er has something to tell you.”

Li concubine waved her hand and dismissed the palace guests.

"What's the matter with Xuan'er?" Seeing her daughter sitting down next to her, Libi felt warm in her heart.

“Eunuch Li Wei and Li Eunuch, who is beside my father, have led many people to search for Miss Xin in the Houyuan Garden.”

Libi was startled: "What's wrong with Miss Xin?"

Fangning Palace has always been low-key and non-controversial, and is used to living with the door closed. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and Libi had not heard the news yet.

“It was said that Miss Xin was disrespectful to her father and he wanted to kill her, so Miss Xin fled to the back garden..."

Libi's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she took a breath: "How could your Majesty do this!"

“Mother Concubine—” Princess Xuan called Concubine Li in a low voice, “I hid Miss Xin.”

 “What?” Li Bin stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on her face.

Princess Xuan lowered her eyes apologetically: "Miss Xin is in Xuan'er's bedroom."

Libi's eyes darkened and she shook her body.

Princess Xuan hurriedly supported her: "Concubine, are you okay?"

"I'm fine - no, I'm fine!" Li Bin's whole body was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave, "Xuan'er, you, you -"

Princess Xuan knelt down and said, "My daughter is not good, she has brought you trouble."

Li Bin sat on the low couch to relieve her panic. It took a while before she realized what she was doing and pulled Princess Xuan up.

Concubine Li’s hands were cold and damp, and Princess Xuan felt even more guilty: “Concubine, I’m sorry.”

Li Bin’s voice trembled slightly: “Xuan’er, why are you so bold?”

“Xuan’er is not bold. When she saw Miss Xin being hunted down, she didn’t even think about anything…”

By the time she regained her sanity, she had already made her choice.

 To this day, she doesn’t feel any regret, just fear.

 Afraid of dying or causing harm to the biological mother.

 “Why would the emperor grant Miss Xin’s death?” Concubine Li couldn’t understand.

The emperor's feelings for Queen Xin have long been recognized by a concubine like her who has been in the palace for many years. After getting back Miss Xin, she is clearly his only favorite. How can you say that you will fall out of love?

 It was not another punishment, but death, which made Libi shudder.

This is true for Miss Xin, who is regarded as the apple of his eye, but what about other people?

Princess Xuan shook her head and did not tell Xin You’s guess.

“Did Miss Xin tell me what to do next?”

 “Miss Xin wants to find a chance to leave the palace.”

Li Bin clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms. The pain couldn't dispel the fear, but it made her more awake.

“Xuan’er, Miss Xin can’t hide with you.”

Princess Xuan's expression changed: "Concubine, do you want to hand over Miss Xin?"

Libi was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You girl, who do you think my mother-in-law is? It would have been fine if you stayed out of the matter at that time. Since you chose to save people, you must save them to the end."

Li Wei is no more kind than Sun Yan. Even if he hands Xin You over now, he will be offended. Once he says something in front of the emperor, the consequences will be unpredictable.

What's more, the mother and daughter have received kindness from Miss Xin, and it's time to repay it.

Let’s talk about Xiaoyouzi’s golden finger setting. She can only “see” the misfortunes that will happen to others, but not her own. If you look at others, you can only look at them in the last few days, not even for a long time.
