"repay?"

Feng Ziqing said contemptuously: "How can you, a princess who has lost her value, repay me?"

Yun Chu was hesitant to speak. She came here to marry in order to hide the identity of the child's father and prevent him from being affected in any way. She couldn't tell the truth at this moment.

Seeing Yun Chu speechless, Feng Ziqing snorted coldly, announced that she would be sent back to her country tomorrow, and then turned and left.

What she was concerned about at this moment was how to stabilize Xiao Zhan's emotions and how to deal with possible surveillance in the palace.

Jiang Xue quickly took Xiao Zhan away and arranged for Jiang Xiaoan to treat him.

In response to his lover's concern, Xiao Zhan responded gently. The two of them confided in each other and their feelings were deep.

At this moment, a secret guard brought news: Princess Yunchu committed suicide by hitting her head against a pillar in Zhaode Hall, and the palace fell into chaos.

Jiang Xue's face was slightly unhappy. Although she loved Xiao Zhan, she never intended to hurt Princess Yunchu, let alone kill her. Apparently, Feng Ziqing said something provocative or did something to Princess Yunchu after they left, which led to the tragedy.

The dead cannot be resurrected, and this incident further strained the relationship between the imperial dynasty and the Eastern Prime Minister.

Feng Ziqing must have been at a loss at this moment, not knowing how to deal with this sudden situation, so the palace was in chaos.

“Yun Che, I am very dissatisfied with the Queen Mother’s actions today. I want to make her anxious for a few days as a punishment. How do you think we should not interfere in this matter for the time being?” Jiang Xue suggested.

Xiao Zhan agreed: "This is a good idea, otherwise she might get worse."

Soon, Fu Dong brought Jiang Xiaoan.

As soon as he saw Xiao Zhan's pale face and the scars on his wrists, he immediately took his pulse and his facial expression became very complicated.

Jiang Xiaoan couldn't help but guess: "Your Highness, who gave my cousin this drug?"

Jiang Xue's eyes were slightly cold: "She is your good cousin. She is worried that your cousin's harem is empty, so she is anxious to fill your cousin's harem with beauties."

Xiao Zhan felt that the conversation was becoming increasingly inappropriate, so he coughed and interrupted: "Ju'an, if you have any usable medicine, stay and leave, don't stay here for long."

Jiang Xiaoan quickly took out a blood-replenishing pill and gave it to Xiao Zhan to take, and asked, "Cousin, what happened?"

“Some things are better if you don’t know.”

Xiao Zhan gently ordered them to leave: "Go back, and don't tell anyone I'm here."

Although he was full of curiosity, Jiang Xiaoan also realized that the matter was serious, so he stopped asking questions, left a bottle of blood-replenishing pills and left.

He noticed that there seemed to be a subtle relationship between his third cousin and Empress Changle, even though they had been arguing in the court recently.

After Jiang Xiaoan left, Xiao Zhan said, "Xiaoxue, don't pay any attention to Ju An anymore."

"why?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Although he may be a bit rude, he is indeed outstanding in appearance, so it is reasonable to take a few more glances at him."

"Don't look."

Xiao Zhan held her tightly in his arms: "From now on, there can only be me in your heart, eyes, and mind. Do you understand?"

Jiang Xue smiled and agreed: "Okay."

In fact, her mind was always on him.

When Feng Ziqing learned the news of Princess Yunchu's suicide, he was immediately flustered and hurriedly sent people to look for Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue, but the two seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

As the situation developed, her fear grew more severe, and she immediately summoned Madam Feng to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Madam Feng entered Zhaode Hall, she noticed the obvious anxiety on Empress Dowager Feng Ziqing's face. She immediately asked, "Empress Dowager, what's the urgent matter that you summoned me for?"

"Mother, please help me. Only you can save me now."

Feng Ziqing explained worriedly that if the Princess Yunchu incident was not handled properly, the ministers in the court would definitely put pressure on her, and if even her brother Xiao Zhan did not support her, her life would be even more difficult.

Hearing this, Madam Feng also felt the seriousness of the matter: "Queen Dowager, please tell me what happened so that I can know how to help you."

Feng Ziqing no longer concealed the truth and told the whole story in detail.

As the story unfolds, Mrs. Feng's expression becomes more and more solemn.

“You are so unwise! Don’t you know what kind of personality Yun Che has? He has had his own opinions since he was young. How can he not be angry when he does this now?”

"Mother, I really regret it. I chose Princess Yunchu because she seemed virtuous, but I didn't expect that she was so hypocritical.

I am also doing this for Yun Che's own good, mother. Others may not understand my feelings, but you will definitely understand. "

Madam Feng sighed softly, "It's useless to regret now. What we need to do is find Yun Che and let him deal with Princess Yun Chu's matter personally. After all, you are also cousins, I believe he will help you."

"I also believe that he will help, but I can't find him now. I suspect that Jiang Xue may have set him up. She may want to take this opportunity to embarrass me."

"Then we will go to Changle *** Mansion to ask for him."

“But her mansion is heavily guarded. I don’t have the power to mobilize the Imperial Guards. How can I bring Yun Che back?”

"I'll go." Madam Feng said firmly.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was resting because of his weak body, and Jiang Xue was by his side.

Suddenly, the maid Fudong came to report that Madam Feng led everyone to kneel outside the mansion and beg to see someone.

Jiang Xue stood up and prepared to respond: "I understand, you step back first, I'll be there soon."

Xiao Zhan held her hand: "I want to go with you."

"No need."

Jiang Xue comforted her, "Although your aunt is strict, I can handle it and will not let the conflict escalate. You can rest assured and don't worry about this."

"It is precisely because I know you will indulge her that I want to go with you. I don't want you to suffer any injustice."

Jiang Xue whispered to Fu Dong, "Come with me, but don't show up for now. If I can't handle it, I'll take action."

"I understand." Fu Dong responded briefly.

In front of the princess's mansion, Madam Feng insisted on kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, and no matter how Fu Dong tried to persuade her, it was of no avail.

Due to Madam Feng's special status, Fu Dong could not take her away by force and could only worry.

Soon, Jiang Xue's carriage slowly stopped at the door. She got off gracefully, and Madam Feng's eyes immediately became gloomy and complicated.

Jiang Xue stepped forward and tried to help Madam Feng up, but was pushed away.

"Your Highness."

Madam Feng said coldly, “I know that the Queen Mother’s actions today have angered you, but this has nothing to do with Yun Che, and you shouldn’t put him under house arrest because of this. If we don’t see Yun Che today, our whole family will kneel here forever.”

Mrs. Feng's words were as sharp as a blade, directly accusing Jiang Xue of a crime.

“Madam Feng, what are you talking about? No matter what, I will not put Yun Che under house arrest.”

Jiang Xue said calmly: "Mrs. Feng, I don't know who is behind this, and I don't intend to investigate. I just want to remind you that it's best not to do anything without evidence."
