When Xu Shu returned to the palace again, the Empress Dowager was already there. After seeing Xu Shu, she asked with concern, "Where are you going?"

The palace maid on the side also smiled and said, "Miss Xu Jiu, you are back. The Empress Dowager will not see you when she comes back. She is so anxious that she will ask someone to find you immediately!"

Xu Shu leaned over to apologize, "The alcohol in the hall is very strong, so my daughter left the hall for a moment! It was my daughter who was negligent, and the Empress Dowager was worried that the daughter was guilty!"

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" The Empress Dowager said a few words, but turned around and saw seven or eight concubines with low positions surrounded by the emperor. The orioles sang, the swallows sang, the wine, the vegetables, and the legs were pinched. It was very lively. His face changed. He coughed lightly, but the emperor had no movement, and he coughed heavily. Unexpectedly, the emperor still had no movement. The Empress Dowager's face became even more gloomy. In front of the ministers, he had to give the emperor a pride, but he just glanced at the concubines and wrote them down one by one.

Xu Shu just didn't hear anything strange, holding the wine glass, gradually fell into deep thought. When she was just held hostage by the eldest prince, there were two people. She felt two different auras. In addition to Zhuang Li, there was another person, and Zhuang Li should have noticed another person, so she was in a hurry to beat her away. Who was that person...

"Miss, Miss..." Wan Feng suddenly pushed Xu Shu, "The Empress Dowager is calling you..."

Xu Shu suddenly came back to her senses, with a little tiredness on her face. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager did not chase her, but said with a heartache, "I saw that your face was rosy before, and I just thought that your serious illness was cured. I didn't want your body to be so weak!" He turned his head and ordered, "I turned around and asked the imperial physician to go to the Xu family for consultations, and I must take care of her body!"

The palace maid responded, and Xu Shu had to thank her, but after she returned, she still had to live in Taohua Villa, so she couldn't use this imperial doctor.

The Empress Dowager was getting older and gradually couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't want the emperor to be embarrassed in front of the ministers. After a moment, the banquet ended and the guests left 66.

Xu Shu didn't like to squeeze with people. She planned to wait until the person was about to leave before leaving, but she suddenly stretched out her hands and held her arm. "I always wanted to talk to Miss Jiu, but everyone knows that the Empress Dowager did not like me, so I dare not go forward, so as not to make things boring. If the prince hadn't come today, he wouldn't have been ill and could not have been rushed to let me come!"

Princess Ji was already half drunk, her face had an abnormal rosy look and her voice was loud. Fortunately, the people around her were in a hurry and did not pay attention to it.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "I have to thank the princess for helping him hire an imperial physician for the matter before. She has always wanted to officially thank the princess, but she has no chance!"

Princess Ji shook her head, "Is there anything worth thanking for in a simple effort? My prince said that when I can help others, I must help, otherwise I will feel guilty!"

"The prince is kind-hearted and has a heart that ordinary people cannot achieve!"

When he heard Xu Shu praise King Ji, Princess Ji immediately opened up, "My prince is a good person..."

Princess Ji never stopped talking all the way to the palace gate. Maybe she felt that she hadn't said enough, so she insisted on riding in the same carriage with Xu Shu, and continued on the way.

While refusing to Princess Ji, Xu Shu heard a sneer and heard it was Xu Yan's voice. Xu Shu suddenly looked in the direction where she was making a sound, and Princess Ji also followed her.

Princess Ji turned her back to Xu Yan, so when Xu Yan snorted coldly, she did not recognize Princess Ji. It was not until Princess Ji turned around that Xu Yan reacted and hurried over to pay her respects, "I have seen Princess Ji!"

Princess Ji was born into a commoner. Although Prince Ji loved this commoner princess very much, the Empress Dowager Tai did not like it. She thought Princess Ji was born in a low-class family and had no style. Princess Ji knew that she was not as good as the ladies of the family, and was good at dancing and was not liked by the Empress Dowager Tai, so she rarely went out for social activities, so she would not be embarrassed outside. The Empress Dowager Tai took her anger on Prince Ji, so Princess Ji did not know Xu Yan. At this moment, Xu Yan asked her for help but didn't know how to return her, so she had to act drunk and said that she didn't hear it.

Fortunately, Xu Shu heard the sound of Xianyin and knew the meaning and took the initiative to introduce, "This is my second cousin. She married the second son of the Yongle Marquis' Mansion a few years ago!"

"Second Grandma Liang!" Princess Ji said hello lightly. It was not that she pretended to be cold, but that she just adhered to the truth of saying less and making mistakes less, and tried not to show her timidity in front of outsiders.

"Second sister!" Xu Shu also called out.

Xu Yan turned halfway and replied, "Nine Sister!"

Xu Yan tilted her head so much and did not look at people in front of her, Princess Ji felt curious. After a closer look, she saw that half of the face that Xu Yan had swollen. The drunk Princess Ji couldn't turn her mind and blurted out, "Who did you call this?"

Xu Yan covered the face of the beating in panic and stammered, "No...No...No...No...No. It's not that I was hit, it was because I accidentally fell and knocked it...!"

Of course, Princess Ji didn't believe it. She grabbed Xu Yan without saying a word and forced her swollen face over and looked carefully, "How can this be knocked? There are finger marks on it!"

Xu Yan hated Princess Ji to death in her heart, which made her embarrassed in front of Xu Shu, but she did not dare to touch Princess Ji disrespect, so she had to lower her head and not speak.

But Princess Ji refused to give in, "Who beat this? How can I hit someone for no reason?"

Drunk people are prone to being stubborn and can't turn around. The more Princess Ji asks, the more embarrassing Xu Yan is. She only regrets that she just said something and wants to sneer. She has caused such trouble and should leave quietly!

Xu Shu saw enough of the excitement and gently pulled Princess La Ji, "I remember there was a Ten Thousand Buddha Tower in the palace. There were many stone pillars in the building, all decorated with the style of standing Buddhas. They were as tall as others, and they were all visible and lifelike. Second Grandma Liang probably knocked on the Buddha pillar. This finger mark was left by the Buddha pillar!"

"Oh... there is a Wanfo Tower!" Princess Ji nodded suddenly and then let go of Xu Yan, "I'll say who is so brave enough to beat people in the palace!"

Of course, someone has such courage. Xu Shu chuckled in her heart. Who else can beat Xu Yan fearlessly in the palace and make Xu Yan suffer but Concubine Shu?

Xu Yan immediately said goodbye as soon as she got free, but before leaving, she looked over Xu Shu with hatred.

Princess Ji looked at the sky, "It's so late, the prince should take medicine, I have to go back quickly!" After being interrupted by Xu Yan, Princess Ji forgot about the fact that she was about to take the same ride with Xu Shu and left in a hurry.

"Miss, let's go too!" Seeing Xu Shu waiting at the door, Taxue whispered.

"Wait a little longer, there is still no one coming!"

Taxue was stunned. He remembered Zhou, who had come together in the morning, and looked back at the palace gate. Soon after, he saw a figure running over and shouting, "Niece..."
