Scheme of the Official Descendant

After the letter was delivered, Ren Yaoqi waited for the news in the other courtyard, but she waited from morning to afternoon, and there was still no news from Yanbei Palace until it was dark, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but became more and more worried.

"Miss, you're getting exposed outside, let's go back to the room, be careful not to catch cold." Sangshen put a thick padded dark red cloak on Ren Yaoqi's shoulders, and persuaded softly.

Ren Yaoqi always felt that the room was stuffy, and she stood outside on the veranda for a long time after practicing the sword. She didn't feel it before, and now she hasn't moved for a long time. It was really cold when Sang Li said that, so she nodded.

At this time, an old pagoda tree branch in the yard heard a sound of flapping wings, and the woman in the yard was surprised: "Huh? Why are there crows? This is really unlucky."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning.

Sangshen noticed it, and lightly scolded the old woman, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not a rare bird, you can still see one or two in the winter, what a fuss!"

The woman knew that it was taboo to say unlucky words in front of the master at the gate of the mansion, so she hurriedly slapped her lips to make amends and said with a smile: "Miss atones, this slave is owed, you are talking nonsense, don't mind."

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.

In the early morning of the second day, Ren Yaoqi asked the people below to prepare the carriage, and she was going to visit the princess in Yanbei Palace.

For some reason, she was always feeling uneasy. Although she knew that Princess Yanbei might not have the time to meet her at this time, she still wanted to go and have a look. Even she herself didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

Was it because he was worried about the situation in Ningxia, worried that the Zeng family would come to Yanbei, worried that Fang Yacun's house would be implicated by the Ren family's collusion, or was it purely worried about Xiao Jingxi's safety at the moment.

As soon as she entered Yanbei Prince's Mansion, Ren Yaoqi felt something was wrong, she couldn't tell what was wrong for a moment, but it seemed that even the faces of women and maids walking on the road became solemn.

When Ren Yaoqi came to Jiuyang Palace, she didn't see Princess Yanbei, she was received by Nanny Xin.

Nanny Xin asked Ren Yaoqi to sit down, asked the servant girl to serve her tea, and said with a smile, "Fifth Miss Ren, sit down for a while, the princess just went to visit the old princess, and the maidservant sent someone to report that you are here."

Since the last time she witnessed Ren Yaoqi saving Mrs. Xu, Madam Xin has been very friendly to her. In addition to the relationship between Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, every time Ren Yaoqi comes to Yanbei Palace, she will order the people below to greet her .

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said: "I don't have any important matters. Today I came to the palace to greet the princess. If the princess has something to do, it's better not to disturb her."

Nanny Xin said: "The old concubine is ill, the doctor is checking the pulse, and the concubine is going to take care of her."

"Is the old concubine okay?" Ren Yaoqi asked with proper concern.

Nanny Xin sighed: "It's not about Zongbing Wu, Mrs. Wu is still young."

With Wu Xiaohe's sudden death, Xiao Wei became a widow, still a childless widow, no wonder the old concubine became ill suddenly.

But Ren Yaoqi felt that there was a hint of worry in Nanny Xin's eyes, but judging from the relationship between the princess and the old concubine, Nanny Xin might not be worried about the situation of Xiao Wei's mother and daughter.

Is there something else going on?

Ren Yaoqi sat in the side hall of Jiuyang Hall for a while, talked with Nanny Xin for a while, and found out that Xiao Jingxi hadn't come back, intentionally or unintentionally.

The concubine never came back, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't stay by herself for too long, so after drinking a cup of tea, she planned to say goodbye and leave.

Not wanting to wait for her to leave, the princess sent the eldest maid Sujin over.

"Miss Ren Fifth, the princess please stay a little longer, she will be back soon. And it is almost noon now, the princess please stay at the house for dinner." Su Jin said to Ren Yaoqi with a smile.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at the sky outside, she came early today, and she hasn't been sitting in the palace for long, and it's still early for lunch at noon.

However, what Su Jin said was just an excuse to keep a guest. Naturally, Ren Yaoqi would not be serious with her. What she was more curious about was what the princess would do when she stayed.

It's not that the concubine never kept her for a meal, but it was when Xiao Jinglin was still in the Yanbei palace. She ate with Xiao Jinglin. After Xiao Jinglin left, she rarely came to the Yanbei palace. The concubine had many things to do every day. Even if she came, she might not be able to see her.

And now there must be a purpose to keep her here for dinner.

Ren Yaoqi waited for another cup of tea in the side hall of Jiuyang Palace before the princess came back from the old princess.

Seeing that the concubine came, Ren Yaoqi hurriedly got up to greet her, but was supported by the concubine, the concubine smiled and said kindly: "Have you been waiting for a long time? Sit down, there is no outsider, so there is no need to be formal."

Ren Yaoqi first helped the princess to take the seat, and then she sat down and said with a smile: "It hasn't been long, Madam Xin and the older sisters have been talking with me."

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.

Sister Xin smiled and said, "Fifth Miss Ren likes the cat raised by the servant, so the servant chatted with her for a while."

Then Mammy Xin picked out some interesting things about "Bai Xue", which made everyone laugh. Ren Yaoqi secretly paid attention to Wang Hao's expression, but she couldn't see anything, so she couldn't guess Wang Hao's real intention to keep her.

After talking and joking, the princess told Nanny Xin: "Take someone to the kitchen to have a look, and tell you not to bring vegetarian dishes over today. Yao Qi stays in Jiuyang Hall for dinner, so follow the example when Lin'er was at home. The dishes are more refreshing."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help asking: "Is the princess eating vegetarian food?" She didn't notice that the princess was eating vegetarian food when she was eating with Xiao Jinglin before.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Xin said: "The princess has been fasting for more than ten years. Only when the princess stays in the Jiuyang Palace to eat, the princess will order the kitchen to bring over meat dishes, but the princess herself only eats vegetarian dishes."

Xiao Jinglin likes to eat. When she is around, she usually sets up a table of delicacies. Some of them are so good because the Princess requires high quality, and they can't even tell whether they are meat or vegetarian. Ren Yaoqi and the princess have eaten several times. , noticed that she used it sparingly, and only when she had a bad appetite.

Nanny Xin withdrew and took all the maids from the palace with her, leaving only two attendants, Sujin and Qiluo.

Ren Yaoqi knew that the princess was going to have a serious business with her.

Sure enough, the princess got up and said to Ren Yaoqi: "Come with me." After saying that, the princess walked towards the inner hall.

Ren Yaoqi didn't ask any more questions, and got up to follow behind her.

Ren Yaoqi, the inner hall of Jiuyang Palace, also visited Xiao Jinglin before. This is the place where the princess rests on weekdays. Generally, outsiders are not accepted, only those who are close to her.

The concubine beckoned Ren Yaoqi to sit on the soft bed with her before she said to Sujin and Qiluo: "You guys go out first, don't let people in without my order."

Sujing and Qiluo also retreated.

When Ren Yaoqi saw that there were only her and the concubine left in the inner palace, she couldn't help but become more curious.

The princess looked at her and smiled, and said, "I've been fasting for more than ten years, do you know why?"

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "Could it be that the princess has a relationship with the Buddha?" Ren Yaoqi was of course nonsense, but this is the safest way to say.

The princess shook her head and sighed: "No, in fact, I didn't believe in Buddhism when I was your age. I even thought it was funny to see the elders in the family kneeling in the Buddhist hall and begging for the blessing of the Buddha when they were in trouble."

Ren Yaoqi didn't interrupt, she knew she didn't need to interrupt at this time.

"Later when I gave birth to Jingxi, he...he was not in good health. After a consultation with several doctors, they said he couldn't live. After hearing that, I cried like hell, but there was nothing I could do. Buddha bless."

Although the voice of the princess was faint, it carried a soft firmness: "I make a wish to the Buddha, if Jingxi can live a good life, I am willing to devote myself to the Buddha from now on, never kill or do anything wrong in this life, and be a vegetarian all my life." .”

Speaking of this, the princess smiled, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "My Buddha is indeed merciful, Jingxi survived in the end."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being silent when she heard this, she had rarely seen the concubine and Xiao Jingxi getting along with each other before, and the one or two occasional times when she saw the mother and son, they didn't speak or do too intimately in front of people. The concubine and Xiao Jingxi are both serious people, and they don't show their emotions. The princess caring for Xiao Jinglin should be because Xiao Jinglin is a daughter.

Now after hearing Wang Hao's words, Ren Yaoqi understood that Wang Hao may not be as concerned about Xiao Jinglin as she is about Xiao Jinglin. It's just that raising a son is different from raising a daughter.

The concubine sighed, and she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes anymore, "Jingxi disappeared on the way back to Yanbei. The Yanbei palace sent several people to look for him but they couldn't find him. There is no news so far."

Ren Yaoqi was surprised when he heard the words: "My father said that when the Second Young Master Xiao separated from them, there were people around him, and those people also disappeared together?" Ren Yaoqi knew that those people were all excellent martial arts masters, Not to mention there are people who follow in the dark to protect secretly.

The concubine sighed: "Only a few corpses were found, and the horses of the Yanbei Palace, and the rest of the people, including the carriage, were missing. No matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find them."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning, she didn't have time to think about why the concubine kept her here and told her these things, and now she was also very worried about Xiao Jingxi's safety.

Before Xiao Jingxi didn't reply to her letter, she wondered if she didn't come back to Yunyang City because she didn't want to show up, but now the princess said that even the people sent by the Yanbei Palace didn't have any news about Xiao Jingxi. Yao Qi also felt something was wrong.

Could it be that those assassins succeeded this time, Xiao Jingxi has already...

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help shaking his head.

No, Xiao Jingxi will not die so easily.

Although the people from the palace didn't find Xiao Jingxi's person, they didn't find his body either, did they?
