"The concubine sees the queen." Princess Murong Jing of Tuyuhun blessed her body.

"Give me a seat," said the Queen.

Murong Jing sat at the bottom, and Li Xifan asked: "Concubine Jing has been in the palace for more than a month, are you used to basic necessities of life?"

"I've already gotten used to it." Murong Jing touched the golden flower on his head.

"This time the Quartet paid tribute, His Majesty gave some fragrant tea, Concubine Jing, let's taste it." Li Xifan raised his hand as he spoke, and the maid offered the teacup.

Murong Jing took a sip and frowned slightly.Li Xifan saw it and said, "Bring some dessert."

The maid brought candied green plums, and Murong Jing immediately put down the teacup to grab them.

After relieving the bitterness in her mouth, Princess Tuyuhun asked the question that has bothered her until now: "Yesterday, His Majesty also rewarded my concubine with some jewels and satin. I wonder what Concubine Qin got?"

Li Xifan's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't answer.

"This concubine has never seen Concubine Qin since entering the palace, I wonder if she is seriously ill and cannot see others?" Murong Jing's tone was slightly persuasive.

Li Xifan took a sip of tea lightly and said, "Concubine Jing might as well ask His Majesty about this matter."

Firstly, the matter was complicated and unexplainable, and secondly, there was no need for her to excuse Si Lixiao.But hearing Murong Jing's ears confirmed the rumor in the palace that "Your Majesty dotes on Concubine Qin and doesn't want her to show her face".

"It seems that Your Majesty really favors Concubine Qin." Murong Jing didn't beat around the bush, "I have been staying in Piaoling Palace for days after my wedding."

"Concubine Qin is the birth mother of Princess Huaning. She is the only concubine with a son in the palace. Your Majesty naturally values ​​her." Li Xifan said, as for what kind of value he values, it is inconvenient to say directly.

Murong Jing frowned, and didn't ask any more questions.

After leaving the Qingning Palace, Murong Jing couldn't hold back her anger and shouted: "Then what is Concubine Qin, I am a majestic Princess Tuyuhun, but I can't compare to her?"

"Yes, yes." The servant girl Yun He echoed, "That Concubine Qin is really too rampant."

"That's not it," Murong Jing snorted, and her steps became more and more rapid, "I don't see you when I visit the prince, and I don't see you when I visit the queen on weekdays."

"Yes, yes, please calm down, princess." Yunhe hurriedly followed suit.

Murong Jing stopped suddenly, and said: "Yun He, come with me to meet that Concubine Qin."

"This..." Yunhe flinched and said, "Concubine Ruoqin is really seriously ill..."

"What are you afraid of?!" Murong Jing gave her a gouged look, "We are going to visit her, so we won't be able to die just by meeting her?"

Yunhe shrank his neck and said, "Yes."

The little maid of Piaoling Palace was cleaning outside the door, when she saw Emperor Xinna's Concubine Jing approaching aggressively.The little maid immediately put down the broom in her hand, and said with a blessing, "I will see you, my servant."

"Where's your mother?" Murong Jing asked coldly.

"The concubine Qin is seriously ill and is recuperating at home." The little maid answered according to the emperor's instructions.

"Seriously ill? Then I should give my condolences." Murong Jing said and rushed in.

Fu Ziqin was about to go out when he heard the sound, when he saw Yufeng striding over, "Madam, Concubine Jing is here to see you, you should hide first."

"Concubine Jing? The princess of Tuyuhun?" Fu Ziqin asked. The ordinary shrimp soldiers are easy to dismiss, but if it is a princess from a foreign country, it will be difficult.

"Yes." Yufeng looked a little anxious.

Fu Ziqin glanced out and said, "Give me the guard's clothes and send someone to report to His Majesty."

"Yes." Yufeng immediately went to the warehouse.

Fu Ziqin changed into the outfit of a guard, and Yufeng went out of the palace to meet Concubine Jing.

"Concubine Jing," Yufeng blessed Fushen, "I don't know if your empress is here, so what's your business?"

Murong Jing saw that this girl seemed to have some background, folded her hands in front of her stomach and said: "Who are you?"

"My maidservant Piaoling, palace maid Yufeng." Yufeng replied respectfully.

"You little maidservant dare to stop me?" Murong Jing said sharply, "I'm here to see Concubine Qin today, you all need to step back!"

"My mother is plagued by illness, and I am afraid that my mother's noble body will be contaminated." Yufeng tried her best to dissuade her.

"How can I, Tuyuhun, be so delicate?" Murong Jing widened her eyes, pushed away the jade fen and strode into the palace.

A group of guards surrounded the main hall, "My lady, please come back."

Seeing this posture, Murong Jing smiled even stronger, "Okay, you are really a good servant of Piaoling Palace! Whoever dares to touch a single hair of this palace, I will chop you into pieces!"

"My lady, please don't embarrass the little ones." Yufeng knelt in front of Murong Jing.

This trick worked for Fu Ziqin, but it couldn't convince the master of Jingsi Palace.Murong Jing walked around Yufeng and headed towards the group of guards.

Although the guards were ordered by the emperor, they didn't dare to seriously hurt Princess Tuyuhun. Fu Ziqin, who was among them, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please stop."

Murong Jing naturally didn't listen, and wanted to punch Fu Ziqin in the chest, but Fu Ziqin blocked it with his palm, and Murong Jing lifted his leg and kicked again.One attack and one defense, Murong Jing only felt that he was hitting an iron wall.

"How dare the little guard touch this palace?" Murong Jing screamed, "This palace must ask His Majesty for an explanation!"

"What explanation do you want?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Murong Jing was taken aback for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw Si Lixiao looking at her coldly.

"See Your Majesty." All the palace officials knelt down, and Fu Ziqin also saluted.

"Get up." Si Lixiao glanced at Fu Ziqin's lowered head, then looked at Murong Jing again.

"Your Majesty Wanan." Murong Jing also quickly blessed her body.

"Concubine Jing isn't staying in Jingsi Palace, why come to Piaoling Palace to fight with the guards?" Si Lixiao said with his hands behind his back.

Murong Jing heard his displeasure, and said cautiously: "I heard that Concubine Qin was seriously ill and came to visit, but these servants blocked me from entering."

You have already seen the "Concubine Qin" whom you have been thinking about so much, Si Lixiao sneered in his heart.

"You know that Concubine Qin is seriously ill and come to disturb her peace, but you know you made a mistake?" Si Lixiao asked.

"Of course not, the concubine is just worried about Concubine Qin." Murong Jing looked at her husband sincerely.

"You are worried about Concubine Qin, will Concubine Qin's illness be cured?" Si Lixiao stepped forward, like a mountain slowly pressing towards Concubine Jing.

Murong Jing didn't dare to answer, and just stood there blankly.

Si Lixiao stared at her for a while, and then let her go, "Concubine Jing, don't walk around if you have nothing to do in the future, learn from our customs, and be a lady in the boudoir."

Murong Jing felt resentful, reluctantly answered "yes", and took Yunhe back to her palace.

Seeing people walking away, the servants in the palace were relieved.Si Lixiao's face was still frosty, he glanced at Fu Ziqin who was wearing a bodyguard outfit, and said, "Go into the house."

Fu Ziqin sighed, patted his clothes and walked towards the hall.

Si Lixiao glanced around, sat down and said, "Pack up and go to the northern suburbs palace for a while."

Fu Ziqin was taken aback for a moment, and gave a faint "hmm".

The eunuchs and maidservants in the palace immediately dispersed to pack their things, Si Lixiao waved, and Fu Ziqin came closer.

"The clothes aren't bad either." Si Lixiao reached out to touch Fu Ziqin's shoulder, but Fu Ziqin retracted slightly, and then stopped as if he had been hit by a acupuncture point.

Ever since the servants in the palace were scolded by the rod, Fu Ziqin has always been so indifferent but extremely obedient.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Si Lixiao's eyes, and he pulled him over to sit on his lap and said, "But are you injured?"

"No." Fu Ziqin glanced at the inner room from the corner of his eyes.

Several palace people came and went in a hurry, Fu Ziqin called to stop Yufeng and said, "Remember to take the scripture-holding Arhat, jade cabbage and kylin woodcarving with you."

"Yes." Yufeng blessed Fushen and was busy tidying up again.

Si Lixiao put his arms around Fu Ziqin's waist and said, "Do you like those decorations?"

Fu Ziqin could only nod his head.

"The furnishings in the northern suburbs palace are much more interesting than here, why bring some more?" Si Lixiao tightened his arms.

Fu Ziqin moved uncomfortably, and said, "Let's take it with me."

Si Lixiao raised his eyebrows, "Yes."

Fu Ziqin didn't dare to reveal any joy, but he relaxed a little.

"Hey," Si Lixiao stroked Fu Ziqin's tense lower abdomen, and said, "My concubine has gone to the northern suburbs palace, so I can't spend more time with you. Don't blame me for my concubine."

There was a flash of joy on Fu Ziqin's face, and he heard Si Lixiao say again: "But my concubine, don't worry, I will go to the northern suburbs palace to accompany you after I finish handling the political affairs."

Seeing Fu Ziqin's eyes darken again, Si Lixiao didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

Fu Ziqin only felt that the firm arm penetrated into his leg socket and armpit, and was suddenly hugged horizontally.

"You..." Fu Ziqin panicked.

"Why don't I accompany my concubine well today, so that I don't miss her so much that she really responds to the rumors in the palace." The strength of Si Lixiao's men was like a stone plate, holding Fu Ziqin up steadily.

Fu Ziqin's hands and feet moved slightly, and she saw the eunuch and maid who was busy with her head down, being carried into the room stiffly.

In the dead of night, Fu Ziqin was so tired that he fell asleep.Si Lixiao put on his coat and walked out of the inner room, the hidden guards were already waiting in the hall.

"Your Majesty." The dark guard clasped his fists.

"Get up," Si Lixiao sat on the armchair, "how's the investigation going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my subordinates and others found this in the emerald jade cabbage." The dark guard gave Si Lixiao both hands wrapped in paper.

Si Lixiao took it and opened it, only to find a black pill that smelled like medicine inside, "What is this?"

"A pill mixed with deer nib grass, male cloves and persimmon stalks." The dark guard replied.

"What's the use?" Si Lixiao squeezed a pill and moved it towards the candle.

The hidden guard hesitated for a moment, and replied, "The way of imperial medicine... is for contraceptive use."

The pill in his hand burst at the sound, and Si Lixiao's eyes trembled.

That man was much smarter than before, he couldn't shirk it, so he secretly made things difficult, and hated being pregnant with his child so much.

"Let the imperial doctor prepare some similar-looking tonics and hide them in the emerald jade cabbage." Si Lixiao smiled.

The dark guard cupped his fists, "Yes."

Si Lixiao rubbed his fingers to wipe off the black powder.

Fu Ziqin is as obedient as a dog these days, he is really boring, he should have something to do.
