Outside Jingyang Palace, the palace door is closed.

Suddenly, a "dang-dang" sound was heard, and the vermilion palace door was slammed hard.

The little guy inside the door asked loudly: "Who's knocking on the door?"

Outside the palace gate, Xiangxue glanced at Concubine Ning and saw her nodding, and then responded loudly: "Excuse me, please let me know. Concubine Ning would like to see Concubine Chen."

Xiao Luzi shouted: "Please wait a moment, Concubine Ning, I will go and pass the message right away."

Hearing this, Xiangxue subconsciously looked at Ning Guifei's face, and said thoughtfully: "The palace servants in Jingyang Palace are too arrogant. Even if they want to pass the news, they should ask the empress to go in and wait, but they don't even The palace doors are not open."

After she finished speaking, Ning Guibi glared at her: "Shut up!"

After another half cup of tea, the door of Jingyang Palace was slowly opened.

Xiao Xuanzi stood inside the palace gate and saluted: "I have seen Concubine Ning, Concubine Chen. Please come in."

Concubine Ning had a smile on her lips: "Thank you, father-in-law."

Xiao Xuanzi said: "I don't dare."

Not long after, Concubine Ning was led into the front hall.

As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down and kowtowed: "I have seen Concubine Chen."

Jiang Shiying sat firmly on the soft couch and said in surprise: "What's wrong with Concubine Ning today? Are you so polite? Qiu Yu, help Concubine Ning get up quickly."

Qiu Yu stepped forward, slightly bowing her waist and extending her hands, as if to help Ning Guifei.

Ning Guifei turned sideways and avoided her hand: "I came here today because I have something to ask for."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows, glanced over, and Qiu Yu stepped aside knowingly.

Jiang Shiying's red lips parted slightly: "Tell me what it is."

Concubine Ning Gui said: "I would like to ask the empress to protect me and the fourth prince."

Jiang Shiying chuckled softly: "As you said, could it be that someone wants to harm you and the fourth prince?"

Concubine Ning said: "The eldest prince and the third prince have been having troubles one after another in the past few days. Have you heard about it?"

Jiang Shiying nodded, not looking at her, but looking down at the long nails on her hands, and said in an understated tone: "I heard about it, but it was just an accident. It's not worth your fuss."

"Empress!" Concubine Ning raised her voice: "I don't know what happened to the eldest prince who fell into the water, but what happened to the third prince is obviously not an accident!"

Jiang Shiying pretended to be puzzled: "How did you say this?"

Ning Guifei said: "The third prince's matter is clearly Concubine Jin's fault——"

Before she finished speaking, she heard Jiang Shiying say in a cold voice: "Silence! Concubine Jin is your Majesty's second-grade concubine. How can you be allowed to make false accusations at will?"

Ning Guifei didn't expect her to react like this. She was stunned for a while, and then she said: "I was in a hurry and said something indiscriminately. Please forgive me."

There was a smile on Jiang Shiying's lips: "It's okay, go on."

Ning Guifei added: "In short, the eldest prince and the third prince have had accidents one after another. I am afraid that the next one to have an accident will be the fourth prince under my knee. So, do you want to ask the queen for protection?"

Jiang Shiying asked: "How do you want me to protect you? You know, I don't like to form cliques."

Ning Guifei said: "I would like to ask the empress to take me in so that I and the fourth prince can stay in Jingyang Palace for some time."

Jiang Shiying stared at her twice, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips: "I heard that Concubine Ning just came from Fengyi Palace. Why, can't the Queen take you and the Fourth Prince in?"

Ning Guifei quickly explained: "Fengyi Palace is the queen's palace. If I and the fourth prince live there, I'm afraid they won't get along with each other."

Jiang Shiying nodded: "That makes sense."

Then, his voice changed: "It's just that here, the Eighth Prince is young and tends to cry at night. I'm afraid it will disturb you and the Fourth Prince from sleeping peacefully."

This was obviously an excuse. No matter how loud the Eighth Prince cried, it could not resound throughout the main hall of Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Ning just pretended that she couldn't hear her shirk, and said repeatedly: "I don't mind."

Jiang Shiying suppressed her smile: "But I don't mind."

If Concubine Ning wanted to say anything more, Jiang Shiying said: "Concubine Ning, you should go and beg the Queen again. I won't keep you any longer."

After saying this, she stood up and entered the inner hall.

Ning Guifei stood up in a hurry and wanted to chase her in, but was stopped by the palace servants in the palace.

She shouted loudly: "Concubine Chen is so cruel."

Then, he left Jingyang Palace in tears.

This scene quickly spread throughout the harem.

The queen was very satisfied when she heard about it.

In Ganquan Palace, Lu Zhaolin frowned: "I remember that Concubine Ning has always been docile and sensible in the past, why did she suddenly become like this?"

Yao Xingde said: "I guess I am too worried about the fourth prince."

Lu Zhaolin sneered: "Zhen Chongrong also has the seventh prince, and none of them are like her."

Yao Xingde kept his mouth shut and did not dare to answer.

Lu Zhaolin's eyebrows were filled with displeasure: "I don't know if she made Ah Ying unhappy."

Yao Xingde said: "I will send someone to Jingyang Palace to ask?"

After Lu Zhaolin pondered for a moment, he said, "That's all. When A-ying comes today, you can ask insinuatingly."

In the past few days, Jiang Shiying would come to Ganquan Palace to ask for an audience every day at the end of Chenshi and Shenshi.

Although Lu Zhaolin had never met her once, she had never been left behind.

Yao Xingde accepted the matter, thinking that it was not just Concubine Chen who came every day. Why don't the others see you being so interested?

He only dared to think about this in his own mind. He knew that he had to be a million times more careful with Concubine Chen. To put it bluntly, it means Qing is waiting to be beaten in front of His Majesty.

However, today, until mid-afternoon, Jiang Shiying was not seen in Ganquan Palace.

Two quarters of an hour ago, Lu Zhaolin could not sit still.

I couldn't read the book in my hand, and I didn't find it interesting to play chess. I walked back and forth in the hall twice, and finally sat back behind the imperial desk, holding my head in my hands and not knowing what I was thinking.

At this time, I heard the door of the dormitory being lightly knocked.

Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty, please go out and take a look."

Lu Zhaolin glared at Yao Xingde, which meant, hurry up and go!

Yao Xingde hunched over and went out. After a while, he came back with a food box in his hand.

Lu Zhaolin had a smile on his face and asked, "Why did you change the food box today?"

Yao Xingde said: "Your Majesty, this is just sent by Yi Mei."

Like Concubine Chen, Yi Meiren also brings nourishing soup every day. Your Majesty has been looking at this food box for several days, but it doesn't even feel familiar.

The smile on Lu Zhaolin's face disappeared in an instant, and he said, "I reward you."

Yao Xingde thanked him and took the food box away.

Another two quarters of an hour later, the bedroom door was knocked again.

When Yao Xingde came back after going out this time, he was carrying the food box that Lu Zhaolin was familiar with.
