The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 154 The secret of the other courtyard

Ji Xiang came out of the front hall, and Zaohua and Aunt Yu were at the door.

"I have already arranged for the one named Kou Qingyao to be with Nanny." Zaohua said first.

"Princess, you shouldn't let people from the Kou family enter the house. If anything happens..." It was obvious that Aunt Yu didn't like having Kou Qingyao by her side.

Ji Xiang motioned to Aunt Yu to stop talking, "Just let her do what she can, and don't treat her too harshly. I want to enter the palace immediately, so you should worry more about her affairs."

Aunt Yu could only nod.

"Sister, why did the emperor ask you to enter the palace again?" Zaohua asked.

Jixiang shook his head, "Just go and have a look later."

Before she finished speaking, Ni Xia hurried over and said, "Miss, there is a masked man at the door looking for you!"

The man in the mask?

Jixiang's heart skipped a beat. Didn't he agree to go to the Xuanyi Pavilion in seven days? How could he find the door in just two days? Did he know his identity?

While Ji Xiang was thinking about it, Xiong Er also hurried over.

"Miss, a eunuch has just arrived in the palace to convey the imperial edict, and the emperor has arranged an errand for me."

"What errand?"

"Guard the Netherworld Valley!"

Oh, what is this? Has God opened his eyes?

Ji Xiang suddenly felt happy.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiong! No matter what the errand is, I can finally serve the court in an upright manner."

"It's all thanks to the eldest lady that this subordinate can survive for a few days."

Zaohua was on the side and couldn't close her mouth for a long time, "I have been with you for so many years, and I love hearing these words!"

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Zaohua can no longer do such menial work. If your man has an official position, you will be the wife. Someone must take care of you."

Zaohua hurriedly stepped forward and took Ji Xiang's arm, "Whoever doesn't let me take care of my sister will be the one I'm in trouble with!"

Everyone laughed.

However, this laughter was too wanton, and Ji Xiang quickly pointed toward the room, signaling everyone to laugh.

Only then did everyone realize that there was an eunuch from the palace in the room.

Aunt Yu quickly dragged Ni Xia away, "I went back to the man outside who was looking for the princess. She said that the princess was busy and asked him to wait."

"Yes." Ni Xia went out quickly.

Here, Ji Xiang looked at Xiong Er, knowing that Xiong Er was going to guard Netherworld Valley, she felt like a mouse had fallen into a rice vat, and her life suddenly became extremely happy.

"Sister Zaohua, Brother Xiong has an official position now, and you and your wife want to treat you. But I don't have time to tell you what to eat now. I have to pack up quickly and go to the palace."

As she said this, she pointed towards the house, "They are waiting for me to leave with them."

Zaohua smiled, "I'll help you clean it up!" She said and hurried away with Jixiang.

When Xiong Er saw that everyone had left, he didn't want to go into the house to meet Eunuch Guo, so he quickly turned around and strode away.

Ji Xiang never thought that there was nothing important about the emperor letting her into the palace. He just felt that there was no one to talk to and wanted to talk to her.

Is this, this, using her Jixiang as a servant?

"Your Majesty, when you have free time, you can go to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

"I also want to go for a walk, but as soon as I think of..." Emperor Likang seemed to have thought of something and did not continue.

"If you are tired of looking at the Imperial Garden, why not go to another courtyard?" Ji Xiang asked carefully.

I saw a smile on Emperor Li Kang's lips, "This is a good idea, Guo Ziyi, under arrangement, I want to go to another courtyard for a walk."

Eunuch Guo glanced at Ji Xiang for a rare moment, "Your Majesty, over there in the other courtyard..."

"Go and inform Concubine De, and ask the fifth prince to go with you. I remember that the last time I went to the other courtyard was when the fifth prince was just born."

"Yes." Eunuch Guo agreed helplessly.

Looking at Eunuch Guo's expression, Ji Xiang guessed that there was something going on here, so he made a casual suggestion. It would be bad if it caused Eunuch Guo trouble.

So, Ji Xiang looked at Eunuch Guo with inquiring eyes.

Eunuch Guo shook his head helplessly.

After Jixiang put the needle on Emperor Likang and watched him fall asleep, he quickly ran to Eunuch Guo and asked quietly.

"Father-in-law, did I talk too much just now?"

"Actually, Miss Ji didn't do this intentionally."

"Is there really something going on in the other courtyard?"

Eunuch Guo motioned to Jixiang to talk to him outside.

After the two of them left the imperial study, Eunuch Guo told Ji Xiang what happened in the other courtyard with a solemn expression.

It turned out that ten years ago, the emperor suddenly wanted to go to another hospital one day. He originally wanted Concubine De to accompany him, but Concubine De suddenly had fetal movement on the day she left.

The emperor waited until the news that Concubine De had given birth to the fifth prince before leaving for the other courtyard.

Because Concubine De was unable to make the trip, Concubine Lan's younger sister, Concubine Jin, who was still a concubine at the time, was asked to go with her.

"Jin Bin? This person is not in the palace now?"

"Hey, something happened to Concubine Jin when she left the palace."

Jixiang's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, there were many stories about the royal family.

This concubine might have died in another harem fight.

But since she is Concubine Lan's sister, why has she never heard Concubine Lan's reaction?

Jixiang looked at Eunuch Guo, waiting for him to continue.

Eunuch Guo suddenly lost interest in talking, "It's all old news, why should I tell you this?" He suddenly sighed.

"Then I will think of a way to stop the emperor from going to the other courtyard."

Seeing that Eunuch Guo didn't want to mention the old things anymore, Jixiang said quickly.

"According to the emperor's temperament, I'm afraid he won't change it again."

Eunuch Guo thought for a while and simply told Jixiang everything that happened that year.

It turned out that all the concubines of the harem went with the emperor, except for the concubines.

The night I died, I was supposed to sleep with you.

At that time, when the emperor did not see his concubine going to his bedroom at the end of Haishi, he was angry and wanted to punish her.

Unexpectedly, a guard came to report that something happened to Concubine Jin on the way to the emperor's chamber.

Jinbin's death was so miserable at that time. Eunuch Guo still trembles when he thinks about it now.

"As a woman, if I was tortured like that, even if I hadn't died at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived." Eunuch Guo sighed.

"Has the person who hurt her been caught?"

"I caught him. He was a guard responsible for the security of the other courtyard. In the end, the emperor ordered his body to be quartered."

"So, my father-in-law doesn't want the emperor to go to another courtyard again because he is afraid that the emperor will remember what happened back then?"

Eunuch Guo nodded, "The emperor's health is finally getting better. I'm afraid..."

"I understand, but I have a question."

Ji Xiang looked at Eunuch Guo, "But when I asked to go to another courtyard just now, the emperor didn't seem to be affected by what happened back then."

"But I'm worried..."

Jixiang thought for a while, "The emperor's body really needs to go out for more walks. It is not good for his body to always stay in the palace with high walls and cold rooms."

"Miss Ji Da means that we must go to another hospital?"

"If there is another safe place, there is no need to go to another hospital."

Eunuch Guo thought for a while and then sighed again, "It's even less safe elsewhere. But I can't make the decision in this matter. I'd better wait for the emperor to wake up and make his own decision."

Ji Xiang nodded.

She didn't understand why Eunuch Guo was so worried. Judging from the emperor's expression, it seemed that he didn't take the matter of the concubine back to heart at all.

Could it be that there were other reasons for Jinbin's death?

Yi Ma, there are always curious things in this palace.

Ji Xiang even wanted to follow him to see the other courtyard.

However, thinking that Prince Ning's situation in Fengyu County was still unknown, she suppressed her gossip.
