Chapter 450: Settling the Storm

Xuande Palace returned to peace, but there was another storm in Yongyan Palace. Concubine Xuan was very angry when she learned that the Crown Princess had fled from the palace, and she did not return overnight.

The heat of midsummer is already irritable. Even if Concubine Xuan recites scriptures and worships Buddha, she cannot dissipate her anger. "Go and call the prince to this palace."

"Da~" Xiao Luzi was very worried when he saw Concubine Xuan's angry look. At this moment, he didn't even dare to say a word, for fear that he would become the target of his master's anger.

Xiao Luzi followed Concubine Xuan for many years and had already figured out his temper. Except for the master who was angry, he was still very comfortable with his master's protection.

Although he occasionally stepped on Concubine Xuan's tiger tail, Concubine Xuan treated him the best among the servants he served, especially when he promised Qin Zhi to himself, he would always remember this kindness in his heart.

Xiao Luzi took good care of Qin Zhi on weekdays, so even Madam Qin, who was very hostile to him, changed her mind and no longer made things difficult for her as before.

He knew from the bottom of his heart that Concubine Xuan was a person with a sharp tongue and a slander. Even if he was above millions of people, he was just a little woman who pretended to be strong and unwilling to be favored.

As Xiao Luzi walked and thought, as soon as he arrived at Yumingyuan, he saw a pair of men and women talking happily, "Hello, Your Highness, Prince~"

"Ah~ Eunuch Lu, why are you interested in seeing the flowers?" Shen Yiyu immediately pushed the palace maid in front of him aside.

"When you say to the Crown Prince, the Imperial Concubine is invited. Who knew that the slave and the master were destined to meet here." Xiao Luzi glanced at the palace maid who was very close to the prince. He vaguely remembered that the girl was a servant who served Yongping Palace. No wonder the prince's personal palace maid said that the prince looked disdainful when he went to Yumingyuan. It turned out that he knew that his master was not favored by the prince.

"What's the matter with the imperial concubine?" Shen Yiyu asked absent-mindedly.

"The Imperial Concubine didn't say it, but I just saw that my master was in a bad mood." Xiao Luzi didn't dare to say that Concubine Xuan was very angry, afraid that the prince would not go back with him to pay tribute to the Imperial Concubine.

"I'm in a bad mood? I guess I need to coax it." Shen Yiyu was very proud.

"Crown Prince..." The palace maid who was waiting aside didn't know where she should go, so she could only call Shen Yiyu timidly.

"You wait here for me, don't go back to Yongping Palace." After Shen Yiyu gave the order, he followed Xiao Luzi to see Concubine Xuan. It happened that he had something to ask him for Concubine Xuan.

"Mother Xuan, I miss my son before I saw you all night?" Shen Yiyu ran over with a smile to hug Concubine Xuan.

"Look at you~ I'm married and still so young. If your father sees you, what kind of morality will it be?" Concubine Xuan was both angry and funny. Facing Shen Yiyu's smile, her anger disappeared halfway.

"My son is always a child who is not grown up with mothers. Why is there any inappropriateness?" Shen Yiyu immediately clenched the shoulders of Concubine Xuan, "Mother Xuan, I heard from Eunuch Lu that you are in a bad mood, who has messed with you?"

"When I mentioned this, I was so angry that I was so angry. Yu'er, can you take it seriously and discipline the Crown Princess. She became less and less restrained in doing things. It would make people laugh when it was heard. Cough cough~" Concubine Xuan became more and more excited as she spoke, and she coughed involuntarily.

"Mother, it turns out that Xiaomeng has offended you. You don't remember the villain's faults, so forgive her." Shen Yiyu begged as if he was acting coquettish.

"It's okay to ask me to forgive her. Call her here and kneel? How long will it take for me to escape from the palace? How about?" Concubine Xuan is still very good at punishing people. After all, she has been dominating the harem for many years, and not only has a good temper, but her torture level is even more skillful.

"Do you know about the mother? Erchen confess to you that Xiaomeng actually left the palace under Erchen's instructions..." Shen Yiyu lied casually.

"Why did you instruct her to escape from the palace? Are you afraid of making your father angry?" Concubine Xuan was so reckless. She wanted to teach Dugu Xiaomeng well, but Shen Yiyu stopped him everywhere, making her not know how to discipline the crown princess.

"When I mention my father, I have something to ask for," Shen Yiyu suddenly knelt at the feet of Concubine Xuan.

"What? Yu'er also got into trouble?" Concubine Xuan asked nervously.

"It has nothing to do with my son. It's all Empress Jin. Somehow I offended my father and was sent to Hanlian Mansion." Shen Yiyu was worried and it was difficult. Yongping Palace was unowned for a while. He was afraid that the matter of smuggling the opera troupe would be exposed.

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Concubine Xuan was full of doubts.

"Just just passed by Yongping Hall and happened to run into a guard who took Concubine Jin away. After asking, I learned that he had been sent to Hanlian Mansion." Shen Yiyu nodded confidently.

"It must be Concubine Jin who made a fuss. The emperor is so wise, he will never punish her for no reason." Concubine Xuan shrugged helplessly and said that she was powerless. She was not a favored concubine, so how could she persuade the emperor's idea? "It can only depend on her own luck. The mother cannot come forward to help her this time."

"Mother, you are the kindest. Now my fifth brother is indecisive and Queen Jin has been sent to the cold palace again. How can I live in Yongping Palace?" Shen Yiyu looked at the person in front of him pitifully.

"What's wrong with Xu'er? I went to see your elder sister yesterday, but I didn't see him in the mansion." Concubine Xuan only thought about the eldest princess, and had no time to care about the fifth prince, so she just thought she went to school to study.

"Don't you know about the mother? Shuo'er lost Wu'er." Shen Yiyu was very mysterious.

"How could such a big child be lost? Why is it related to Shuo'er?" Concubine Xuan hit the nail on the head.

"I don't know much about the specific situation. I just heard that Shuoer took Xuer out to play yesterday, and then disappeared, as if he disappeared out of thin air." Shen Yiyu did not specifically talk about encountering Shen Yishuo, for fear of accidentally involving Yonghe Palace again.

"Is it because someone is really targeting our royal family?" Concubine Xuan was startled in a cold sweat.

"My son also suspects that everything has been strange from the beginning of the year to now." Shen Yiyu's face showed a congestion.

"Then you dare to let the Crown Princess leave the palace privately?" It is difficult for Concubine Xuan to be successfully changed by others.

"I'm... I heard that my father-in-law's ankle has always been bad, so Xiaomeng went back to the house to take a look. She promised me that I would come back as soon as possible." Shen Yiyu could only continue to lie.

"Yu'er, come back to the Crown Princess. It's very dangerous for her to be alone outside. If you want to visit her relatives next time, just report in advance. Why bother to make others feel suspicious?" Concubine Xuan's attitude improved a lot, and she obviously no longer was angry about the Crown Princess' private escape.
