442, aftermath
Xu Shu, who received the medicine from Queen Mother Fu, hurried back to Xihuaxuan. He heard a voice at the door that he had never heard before. Thinking that Li Ying'er had just gone to Cining Palace with a fragrance, he knew who was there in Xihuaxuan at this moment. When he was about to lower his head and keep his eyes in, he suddenly heard a familiar voice again.
That was the voice of Gao Yinggao’s father-in-law!
In Laiyi Palace, Gao Ying had seen her in the bet of the eldest prince!
Xu Shu hurriedly retreated to the corner of the wall. Hearing Gao Ying was teasing the little palace maid guarding the gate of Xihuaxuan. The little palace maid was so funny that Gao Ying giggled. He knew that he would not leave for a while, so he walked away honestly, intending to find a secluded place to sit. Although the emperor was visiting Xihuaxuan today, it is inevitable that he would favor Li Ying'er, but he would not stay here. Li Ying'er was just a little beauty and was not qualified to stay at the emperor. If Li Ying'er dared to stay at the emperor today, the Empress Dowager would give her a white silk to end her, so she only had to wait until the emperor left before going back!
Xu Shu retreated along the palace wall, and stopped halfway. Someone frowned and frowned. After all, she couldn't help it. She lowered her voice and shouted, "Why have you entered the palace again?"
"I'm just allowed you to enter the palace, so I can't come?" Zhuang Li smiled and showed up from the darkness, asking, "Where did you go just now?"
Xu Shu asked, "Then how did you know I'm in Xihuaxuan?" Even Zhou Jin didn't know that she lived in Xihuaxuan, so how did Zhuang Li know?
Zhuang Li said proudly, "There is something I don't know?"
Xu Shu raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Zhuang Li said seriously, "I know you want to plot against the eldest prince when you enter the palace, so I went to Laiyi Palace first. But Laiyi Palace is already burning, and there is not a single person inside, so you will definitely not hide there! I turned around the imperial garden and heard that Meiren Li, who lives in Xihuaxuan today, went to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager with a strange fragrance, which made the emperor who happened to be intoxicated by the Cining Palace. He immediately followed Meiren Li back to Xihuaxuan! As soon as I heard this strange fragrance, I thought of you, so I came to Xihuaxuan to find out. Sure enough, I saw a tinker with the ingredients for spices in the side hall, and the ingredients made you live there!"
"Even you know I'm in Xihuaxuan..." Xu Shu sighed quietly, and more and more people knew her whereabouts. There was also a irritable and impulsive prince eyeing her. It's not advisable to stay in this palace for a long time!
"You haven't told me where you just went?" Zhuang Li stared at Xu Shu's face. It was a big night, why didn't Xu Shu stay in the house and run out? Xu Shu never acted for no reason. What was she going to do?
Xu Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face did not move at all. She raised her hand and pointed at Xihuaxuan, "The emperor is here, I have no place to go, so I hid out, afraid that someone would see him! But why are you, why are you entering the palace again? Just so idle?"
Xu Shu didn't care about what she said, so Zhuang Li believed it, "I just settled down with Prince Duan, and I've taken time to clean up the mess for you!"
"Clean up the mess for me?" Xu Shuqi said, "What kind of mess can I leave for you to clean up?" He has always been very sensible in his work. When will others cure her after she is killed?
"Then let me ask you, you should have been in Laiyi Palace, but now you are in Xihuaxuan. If you lose someone in Yi Palace, how can you not find someone? A living person cannot disappear for no reason, right? If you lose someone in Yi Palace, you will naturally have to look for him. Since you want to find someone, where should you go? If you can't find someone, should you ask who to ask for an explanation?"
Xu Shu guessed in an instant, "Second Grandma Liang went to Jingyuan again?" She suddenly disappeared from Yigong. The eldest prince could not find her. The person who sent her into the palace was Xu Yan. The eldest prince naturally had to catch Xu Yan and refused to let go, and Xu Yan had to find her and could only go to Jingyuan.
Zhuang Li nodded, and said with disgust, "She brought a group of servants to make noise at the door, making your tenth sister very angry. She just thought she was coming to the door for trouble, and asked people to close the door and let her make trouble. After a while, she saw that no one was paying attention, and the more she made trouble, it became more and more fierce. In the end, your maid, Wanfeng, drove the person away with a broom!" Zhuang Li smacked his tongue, "Your maid is really fierce, but this idea must be from your tenth sister!"
However, Xu Shu’s focus is not this!
"Did the Tenth Sister know the truth?" Xu Shu was shocked. She had to hide the matter of Zhuang Li from Xu Sheng.
Zhuang Li shook his head, "How can she know! I asked Taxue to lie to her and say you have gone to your elder sister's place, but I can only delay it for a while. If you drag it on, it will be a mistake sooner or later!"
"I know!" It seems that she is going to seize the time to make incense for the queen, and leave the palace openly while the queen is happy.
"By the way!" Zhuang Li said again, "After leaving Jingyuan, the Second Grandma Liang did not return to the Liang family, but went directly to the Xu family. Later, the Xu family sent someone to Jingyuan to pick up your tenth sister. However, your tenth sister was angry and was so impatient that she didn't even open the door, so she turned them off!"
"She couldn't do anything to Shi Mei, so she wanted to borrow the power of the Xu family. How could Shi Mei stay in Jingyuan for so long? How could she value the Xu family again? She wanted to use the Xu family to restrain Shi Mei, but she made the wrong idea!"
Zhuang Li couldn't help laughing, "Your ten girls are really interesting. You are happy when you should be happy, and you are angry when you should be angry. It's a little unambiguous, much more enjoyable than you! Ah...why are you pinching me?"
Xu Shu gritted her teeth and said, "How can a lady from a family allow you to offend your words?"
"Okay, okay... I won't say it anymore!" Seeing Xu Shu's protection of her sister, Zhuang Li could only admit that he was unlucky. He touched his arm that was pinched by Xu Shu and took a breath. This woman was so cruel!
"If you have nothing to do recently, please help me do something!" Xu Shu said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Li put down his hand that was stroking his arm and turned his eyes to Xu Shu.
"There was fire in the Yi Palace. The Empress Dowager in the Palace has thoroughly investigated the cause of the fire but did not find out what it was. She is suppressing her anger now!" The queen originally found a small eunuch to take the blame, but she didn't expect that the little eunuch was very popular. She found someone to help him with perjury. The palace people hugged her and shouted for justice. The fire in the Yi Palace became a headless case.
"I know this. When I passed by the Imperial Garden, I heard a lot of people talking about this matter! The eldest prince wanted to torture the palace servants, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager. Will the old woman think that she is so vicious?" Zhuang Li sneered. Who among the Dayin knows that the eldest prince is tyrannical?
When the fire broke out in Yigong, Xu Shu and the two beauties disappeared. The gambling game of the eldest prince could not continue. The gambling addiction was not satisfied. He had to worry that the three of them would fall into the hands of others. After grabbing his handle, his temperament became more and more irritable. Even if the Empress Dowager stopped him, many people were still suffering. The Empress Dowager, who has always protected the eldest prince, had complaints about this.
