The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 429 Concubine Xiao

She shook her head and looked in that direction again. Just as she was about to walk over there, she heard the Seventh Prince whisper, "Royal Concubine."

Shang Ruoyi retracted her steps and looked in the direction of the Seventh Prince's voice, only to see a woman in a light green palace dress, surrounded by maids, walking towards them.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine." Jun Zeqian bowed his hands and Shang Ruoyi also bowed when she saw him. "Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Xiao had a warm smile on her face, which made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

"Hurry up and stand up." She smiled and said, "To be precise, we are of similar age. I am only one or two years older than you. If there were no outsiders, there would be no need to be so polite. You are making me feel old." Her eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi: "Is this your first time entering the palace? I have never seen you before."

"Your Highness, she is my sister." Jun Zeqian said in a low voice.

"Isn't the City King's daughter Princess Luoyun?"

"She is my biological sister."

As soon as Jun Zeqian finished speaking, Shang Ruoyi's heart moved, there was a sound!

Her eyes fell again on the corner where the man left.

Since the space was upgraded, her hearing has become several times sharper than before, and she can even hear the sound of falling leaves in the yard clearly.

She could conclude that the man was still around the corner.

But why couldn't her eyes see him through the wall?

"My dear sister?" Concubine Xiao's eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi's face: "I have heard that Princess Cheng is an extremely beautiful woman, but unfortunately I have never seen her. Now that I see the princess's appearance, I can guess how beautiful Princess Cheng is."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is truly stunningly beautiful."

"What do you mean by beautiful? It's just that I can get some pity from the emperor." She sighed and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate. Is this your first time entering the palace?"

"Exactly."

"I designed this back garden. How about I take you for a stroll?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feeling that there was no sound around the corner, she had no choice but to nod in response.

Concubine Xiao smiled and led her to another direction. When their figures disappeared, a gray figure suddenly appeared at the corner, staring at the direction Shang Ruoyi left, with his fists clenched. How could it be her! How could Shang Ruoyi be the biological daughter of the King of the City?

After walking around the garden for a while, Concubine Xiao enthusiastically introduced to them the various ingenious designs in the garden, as if she was showing them her most beloved works.

"How is it? Princess, do you like my design?"

"The queen is very thoughtful, and every design is exquisitely crafted."

"You think so too?" Concubine Xiao smiled even more. "If you like, you can come and see me often. I will have someone to talk to. Most of the women in the palace are not on good terms with me. They think I have taken their favor away. I don't like to argue with them, and I don't want to associate with them. But today, I feel that I have a connection with the princess, just like sisters who have been separated for many years. If you have time, you can come to the palace often to keep me company. Or don't go back today and stay with me in the palace. How about that?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Jun Zeqian said softly, "My sister has just been found, and my father loves her very much. I'm afraid he won't be willing to let her go. I'll discuss this with my father when I get home. If he agrees, I'll send my sister to the palace. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Hearing him say this, Concubine Xiao was helpless. He had even moved the King of the City out, so what could she do?

She looked at Shang Ruoyi and said, "In that case, let's talk about it later when we have a chance!"

At this time, a maid stepped forward and said, "Madam, the Queen Mother asked if you have finished copying the Buddhist scriptures. If you have, she asked you to deliver it to her in person."

"Oh, look at my memory." She smiled and said, "I still have to go to the Queen Mother's Palace, so I'll go back first."

"Farewell to the noble concubine."

Shang Ruoyi watched her leave, then turned and walked towards the corner she had just turned.

"My lady, they went in that direction."

"Humph, she really knows." Concubine Xiao did not turn around, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips: "After searching everywhere for something, it is easy to find. I guess she is the one the sect leader is looking for."

"My lady, Master Jingtian is still there. Do you want me to take him away?"

"He is not a fool. He will leave on his own. If he can't even handle such a small matter, what kind of Taoist priest is he? He should just go home as soon as possible." Concubine Xiao said coldly, "How is the Queen doing?"

The maid shook her head.

"You useless thing, you let yourself fall into this situation for a man."

"My queen, I heard from the people in the queen's palace that everything in her secret room has disappeared. Even the poisonous insects she raised disappeared overnight."

"What?" Concubine Xiao stopped in her tracks: "All disappeared overnight?"

"Yes."

"Where is the Gu Emperor?"

“It’s gone too.”

"Waste!" Imperial Concubine Xiao said angrily, "I have worked so hard to raise her for so long, and she was finally about to grow up, but she actually lost it to me?"

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Without the blood of the Gu Emperor, it seems that it will be difficult to control the Emperor."

"What else can I do? Go find him! Even if I have to turn this imperial city upside down, I will find my Gu Emperor!" Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, her pupils full of viciousness: "That bitch, she lost such an important thing, not only did she not send anyone to inform him, she even thought of some way to regain control of the City King. If she wasn't still useful, I would have skinned her alive long ago."

"I will arrange for someone to look for it right away."

Shang Ruoyi came to the corner, and the Seventh Prince was a little confused: "Why are you back again? Hey! Where are you going?"

She walked to the place where the man disappeared. It was already empty, with only a few vines climbing on the wall.

"What are you doing here?"

"What's in front?" She pointed to a row of houses not far away. "Who lives here?"

"All the people living here are young eunuchs."

At this time, a little eunuch in gray clothes walked out from here.

"Your servant pays respects to the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince."

It was also a grey outfit. Could it be that I was overthinking it?

She was about to turn and leave when her eyes fell on the vines and she froze.

After pulling aside the vines, I saw a mark on the wall. The mark was very new, as if it had been made with a fist.

It seems that I was not overthinking. There was indeed someone standing here just now. Who was that familiar figure?
