Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Sister Xu, why are you here?" At this moment, Erniang Xu heard Feng'er's voice.

She turned her head and saw Feng'er walking over with tea.

She hurriedly said: "Miss Feng'er, I'm here to ask to see Princess Li."

Yun Ruoyue inside had already heard Xu Erniang's words, and said, "Feng'er, bring Eldest Sister Xu in!"

"Yes. Sister Xu, please come in." Feng'er said.

Feeling anxious, Xu Erniang followed Feng'er into Yun Ruoyue's room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen.

The moment she saw Chu Xuanchen, her eyes lit up, as expected of Yun Ruoyue's husband, she was indeed a dragon among men.

Seeing Xu Erniang walking in, Yun Ruoyue said: "Big sister Xu, are you still used to living in Prince Li's Mansion these few days?"

"Get used to it, Prince Li's Mansion is so good, how can I not get used to it!" Xu Erniang said gratefully.

"How is your wound? Did you change the dressing on time?" Yun Ruoyue asked.

Xu Erniang said: "Thanks to my mother, Miss Feng'er changed my dressing every day, my injury has healed a lot, and the swelling has disappeared a lot."

"That's good, so I can rest assured!" Yun Ruoyue said.

After Xu Erniang nodded, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at the two of them, then knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said uncomfortably: "My lord, my concubine, thank you for saving me and taking me in again. I really appreciate your kindness and virtue." I don't know how to respond."

Yun Ruoyue quickly supported Xu Erniang, "Sister Xu, what are you talking about? We are just doing this with a little effort, you don't have to do this, get up quickly."

Chu Xuanchen also said: "Yue'er never seeks to repay others for helping people. Sister Xu, don't be burdened, get up quickly!"

"No, my lord and concubine, actually... actually, I have one more thing to ask you." Xu Erniang said a little shyly.

Chu Xuanchen looked at her, "What's the matter with you, you might as well just tell me."

Xu Erniang lowered her eyes, and said: "The princess helped me. I have not repaid the princess, and I asked you again. I really feel very sorry. But... But I am afraid that if I don't say it, I will never have another chance." I saw him!"

"Meet him? Who is he referring to?" Chu Xuanchen said.

Xu Erniang wiped her tears and said: "It's the eldest prince of Xueyue Kingdom. To tell you the truth, I am actually from Xueyue. I was hunted down and escaped all the way to come here. I was outside just now. I heard you say that the First Prince is coming to the state banquet, I really want to go and see him, just take a look at him from a distance, and I'm satisfied!"

Hearing this, both Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue were startled.

Chu Xuanchen said: "Sister Xu, you are also from Xueyue? Why are you being hunted down?"

It seems that Xu Erniang is a person with a lot of stories, and her story is related to Xueyue Kingdom.

Xu Erniang's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly said: "Actually, I used to be a court lady in Xueyue Kingdom's palace, and I was responsible for taking care of the eldest prince. But because I committed something, I escaped from the palace, so I was punished by others." Hunt down."

"Since I escaped from the palace, I haven't seen the eldest prince for many years. Now I heard from you that you can enter the palace to attend the state banquet and meet the eldest prince. I just want to beg you to take me into the palace and let me To take a look at the First Prince from afar is enough for my wish. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never see him again in this life!" After she finished speaking, she hurriedly lowered her head with panic on her face.

It's not that she doesn't want to tell Li Wang and his wife the truth, but that she can't tell. She is afraid of causing another fatal disaster, and also afraid of implicating their couple.

Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue looked at each other, then narrowed their eyes suspiciously, he always felt that this Erniang Xu was hiding something from them.

It must be that Xu Erniang was afraid of being chased and killed again, so she dared not tell them the truth.

Xu Erniang didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't ask.

He said: "So that's the case. Alright, I promise you, get up!"

Xu Erniang looked at Chu Xuanchen happily, "My lord, you really promised me?"

Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Well, tomorrow is the state banquet, you go back and prepare well. The king will take you into the palace tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you, my lord, you and my concubine are good people, and God will bless you both." Erniang Xu said, wiping her tears and walking out.

She didn't expect Prince Li to be so easy to talk to, they were simply the best people she had ever met.

If possible, she would go through fire and water for them, no matter what.

After Xu Erniang left, Yun Ruoyue hurriedly said: "Xuan Chen, it's getting more and more strange, why is this Xu Erniang also from Xueyue?"

Feng'er said: "Yes, my lord, could this Xu Erniang also be disguised by an assassin from Xueyue Kingdom, just to get close to the princess and want to assassinate her?"

Chu Xuanchen shook his head, "No. In fact, when you brought her back to the mansion the first day, I sent someone to check her details. I found out that she had been setting up a stall in that porridge shop for more than ten years. In the past few years, she has been alone. She never interacts with people or does anything else. She lives in seclusion all day long and lives a very low-key life. In addition to the fact that she said that she was hunted down, the king suspects the reason for her being so low-key , because she was escaping from pursuit."

"That's right, even she can't protect herself, how can she assassinate the princess?" Feng'er said.

Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Well, the king has been sending people to watch her for the past few days, and I really didn't see any other changes in her. Moreover, she is timid and cautious, and she looks very weak, and she has no martial arts foundation on her body. An assassin."

"I also don't think she looks like her. Since she wants to see the eldest prince, then we will bring her into the palace to fulfill her wish." Yun Ruoyue said.

Chu Xuanchen nodded: "Yes."

After speaking, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

-

Xiangfu, Dongfengyuan

Since King Xian and Nalan Meng got married, Liu Er seldom went out.

She shut herself in the room every day, copying scriptures and chanting Buddha, except for things related to Buddha, she didn't care at all.

During this period of time, she has been eating very little, and her whole body has become very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

Seeing her daughter like this, Huang's eyes were full of distress.

Thinking of the state banquet tomorrow, Mrs. Huang brought a cup of chicken soup and gently knocked on Liu'er's door, "Liu'er, are you asleep?"

Liu'er, who was copying scriptures in the room, paused and said softly: "Not yet, mother, come in!"

"Okay." After Huang's answer, she opened the door and walked in with chicken soup.

As soon as she walked in, she saw that the table was full of copied Buddhist scriptures, stacks of them, which meant that Liu Er had been copying them for a long time.

And Liu'er was still quietly copying scriptures at this time.

Mrs. Huang hurried over, put the chicken soup on the table, and looked at Liu'er distressedly, "Liu'er, are you still copying Buddhist scriptures at this late hour? You don't need to copy the scriptures yet, come, have a bowl of chicken soup!"
