"What are you worried about, aunt? Are you afraid that what you just said will be overheard?"

Xia Lingyue's tone was sincere, but the smile on her face clearly concealed a hint of coldness.

"Uh... No, it's nothing! I just thought that since you rarely come back, you might as well go and sit at my aunt's place!"

Concubine Liu's soft eyes were full of calm content, but soon changed to a sincere look.

"No! My daughter still wants to sit in her boudoir first, and then go to my aunt's place later!"

When Concubine Liu heard that she wanted to go sit in her boudoir, she suddenly panicked again.

"You've been away from home for so long, and you haven't prepared anything at your place. Everywhere in the past is in ruins. What's the point of sitting around? Why don't you come to my place with your aunt? Be obedient!"

Concubine Liu grabbed her hand and put it on her chest, with an irresistible look of determination on her face.

"Oh... No! I want to go back and sort out my own things. I was tricked out of the house by someone you sent before and left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to sort out many things. I have to do it well when I come back this time.

Please pack your things before taking them into the palace."

She deliberately raised her tone and secretly glanced at King Xia outside the door, asking herself: "Why is he so patient? Aren't your feet tired from standing outside the door all the time?"

"Haha... Go and sit at my place first! Eat some snacks and let us catch up on old times. How about I take you there when the weather gets hotter and darker?"

With a smile on her face, Concubine Liu grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the courtyard of her room.

"Oh......If that's the case, then fine!"

Seeing her enthusiastic expression, Xia Lingyue could boil eggs, so it was hard for her to find any excuse to reject her.

"Oh...that's right! Auntie! I have one more thing to ask you."

"Is there anything else? Let's ask my aunt later! You kid really has a lot to do!"

Concubine Liu deliberately tried to cover up her thoughts, but she just wanted to use a delaying tactic to hold her back, and then use a delaying tactic to send her away from Xiahou Mansion.

"Oh...I want to ask you, is my father still alive?"

She tried something, but Concubine Liu immediately scolded her: "How do you talk like a kid? You become stupid as soon as you leave the house? How can you ask such a question?"

"Auntie, don't blame me! To be honest, auntie, when my daughter was tricked out of the house by the people you sent, he told me that my father had already suffered from madness and told me that if I didn't leave quickly, I would be killed soon.

Encirclement and suppression, so I was negligent and did not insist on seeing my father, so I hurriedly followed the man to escape! So, I just want to ask you today, is my father still alive?"

Upon hearing Xia Lingyue's words, Concubine Liu seemed to have found an opportunity to exploit every opportunity in an instant.

She furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, then suddenly her expression changed and she responded with an erratic expression: "Oh! It's true that you are just now asking whether your father is still alive or not. Don't you know?"

The person your father wanted to see most before he died was you! Oh my God!"

As Concubine Liu spoke, she covered her face and cried, crying and complaining about how rebellious she was and how she forgot her ancestors.

"…………Auntie, it’s obvious that she is…………"

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence. What she was actually saying was that it was Concubine Liu who sent someone to trick her into leaving the house, so why are you now scolding her for her treason?

However, she thought for a moment, but did not say those words out loud.

So, she secretly glanced at King Xia who was outside, only to see that King Xia was already blowing his beard and staring in anger, but Yin Bao next to him grabbed his arm tightly and begged him again and again.

Don't act rashly.

"Oh...that auntie! Since my father is no longer here, I will go and pay my respects to his grave! It is indeed my unfilial duty, and you scolded me very well! I have no complaints at all!"

After Chunxiang finished praising Concubine Jiang, she frowned again.

"But all this is good, but I don't know if the Crown Princess really has a heart to heart with the Empress? If the situation is different..."

"This is not necessarily a rare thing. After all, this princess has no real power. If she wants to make a real difference, in addition to being extremely smart, she also needs years of accumulation. There is a saying that it takes more than a day to freeze three feet.

!”

Concubine Jiang smiled slightly, her expression showing a slightly mysterious look.

"oh……………"

After Chunxiang responded softly, she continued to rub her shoulders and back. Although she remained silent, the look on her face secretly changed.

After the small talk just now, Concubine Jiang rubbed her forehead and fell silently into the fragments of the past.

Thinking about those days of hardship, although Jiang Ruyi is in a prestigious position today, below one person and above ten thousand people, how many people can understand that she once gritted her teeth and struggled alone in the most difficult years?

What about the day?

When her thoughts came to this point, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Oh...just don't get cold! I also think your whole body looks like ice sticks, maybe it's because the cold wind blows too much!"

"It seems that there is no such person in the palace! I have never heard of him!"

Chunxiang also looked puzzled.

"But this jade pendant... Judging from the fineness and quality of the jade, it is indeed a rare and top-grade piece. Although it is not top-notch, it is not something that ordinary Xiao Si can afford.

And it looks like most of them should be someone’s personal belongings or family heirlooms!”

Concubine Jiang pondered the piece of jade over and over again, the light shining in her eyes flickering.

"This is strange! Or...could it be lost by the new people who came into the palace recently? This is still possible, right?"

Chunxiang also stared at the jade pendant in Jiang Guifei's hand, observing it carefully over and over again several times.

"The new eunuchs shouldn't have anything like this, otherwise they wouldn't have to purify themselves to become eunuchs!"

Her words were rejected by Concubine Jiang.

"That………………"

Chunxiang rubbed her forehead and thought for a while: "Maybe someone in the Royal Forest Army dropped it? Maybe it belonged to General Ning?"

When she mentioned General Ning, her eyes instantly lit up.

“General Ning?!!!………………”

Concubine Jiang immediately asked, "Who is General Ning?"

"Oh...you don't know yet, right?"

Chunxiang became energetic instantly, and then she remembered that Concubine Jiang didn't know what happened recently!

"My dear! General Ning is the junior commander of the Royal Forest Army! You don't know it yet, do you?"

After hearing what he really said, Concubine Jiang suddenly realized.

"Oh...it turns out that the commander of the Royal Forest Army has been changed again? Then General Wei should retire and return to his hometown to see him? That's good, at least it's okay...

"

Upon hearing this, Chunxiang immediately answered: "General Wei is not a vegetarian, how could he give up so easily?"

Her words instantly awakened Concubine Jiang.

"In that case, does that mean you know who the person who lost the jade pendant is?"

Concubine Jiang's words instantly cheered her up......
