Chapter 56 Yuan's Entry Into the Palace

Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Xia opened the beaded curtain and walked out. Concubine Mei said softly, "Your Majesty, why bother? Chen Linglong definitely has no ambition to rebel."

The queen glanced at the two of them indifferently, and finally her eyes fell on Prime Minister Xia's face, "The three of you have prepared such a good scene for me today, how can I not return the courtesy?"

Prime Minister Xia knelt down, "Your Majesty is guilty, please deal with it. There is really no need for further complications. If the Yuan family is involved in this matter, it will definitely alarm many people."

"I'm not afraid of alarming so many people. What are you, Concubine Mei, afraid of? It's really strange. You are afraid of disturbing the Yuan family. Why do you push everything to the Yuan family today? Do you think the royal family will not make this matter public? Or do you think Can you hide it from the world? At the gate of Xiangfu that day, Xia Zian revealed the letter of divorce. You have already aroused public anger. No one wants to believe that the talented woman they admire, Yuan Cuiyu, is such a person. It's hard to say anything, if Xia Zian didn't do his best to turn the tide that day, the Prime Minister wouldn't be able to guess what the consequences would be?" The queen spoke bluntly, showing no favors to Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Xia.

Prime Minister Xia's face was indescribably complicated, and he couldn't even explain a single sentence to the Queen's words.

He just knew Yuan's influence, so even though she didn't like her all these years, he couldn't find a legitimate reason to let her go. Stealing is the most serious crime.

Unfortunately, this plan also failed.

Zi'an hid behind, quietly listening to the movement outside.

Later, a court lady came and led her around behind the screen to the west chamber.

Entering the west chamber, he saw that Murong Jie was already drinking tea on the kang in the west chamber. With his legs crossed, his slender fingers pinched the white porcelain painted blue and white teacup, turned it gently, and turned his head slightly. With the light shining on him, he felt the curvature of his side face was soft.

He looked at her lazily, stretched out his hand and hooked, "Come here!"

Zi'an was surprised at his elusiveness. Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Xia had just left before he slipped in. This is Jingning Palace, the palace of the empress.

She walked over and stood beside him, "The prince is here?"

"Come up!" Murong Jie pointed to the opposite side and asked her to sit down, "Anyway, the Yuan family will not enter the palace so soon, you sit down and drink tea with me."

He seemed to be used to giving orders, just a few words, even the tone was very gentle, but Zian felt a sense of majesty.

She sat down as she said, and Murong Jie personally made tea for her, then pushed it in front of her, and then told the maid, "Bring in some dishes, make them lighter."

Zian raised his head, and before he said anything, he said calmly, "I'm hungry, let me have something to eat."

He didn't know if he was hungry or not, but Zian knew he was hungry.

In the two days since she entered the palace, she seemed to have never had a full meal, and she just dealt with it.

She is not the kind of person who can't eat when she has something on her mind. On the contrary, the more difficult she is, the more she needs to eat.

If you don't eat, how can you have the strength to deal with all the difficulties?

It's not an exaggeration to describe Zian's eating like wind and clouds. Murong Jie couldn't help but stop and look at her, frowned and said, "You really don't look like a lady."

Zian swallowed the last mouthful of rice, stretched his neck and said, "I'm used to it, this food is very delicious."

"It's just some home-cooked dishes, I don't think there is anything delicious." Murong Jie said flatly.

Zian laughed, "I often eat overnight meals, and I even ate dog leftovers. These are really good."

I used to be in the secret service team, where would I have time to eat when I was busy? They just deal with a few bites casually, she can eat the food that the mice and cockroaches have eaten, and after eating, she has to go to work immediately.

The places where she ate most before were not in restaurants or at home, but in the car, on the roadside, in the woods, most of the meals were without food or vegetables, fish in the river, rabbits in the mountains, whatever she picked up, could fill her stomach. The belly is fine.

Murong Jie thought that she lived a precarious life in the mansion, and even had to grab food.

His expression gradually became serious, "I promise, I will never let you live that kind of life."

Zian was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he had misunderstood, so he laughed dryly, "I'm exaggerating, actually there is no such thing, my food used to be pretty good, three dishes, one soup and plain rice."

Murong Jie hummed, unable to bear to see through her disguise.

The atmosphere gradually became a bit dignified. Seeing that she was full, Murong Jie ordered someone to throw away the food. Zi'an almost blurted out, "What a waste, save it for supper at night."

There was a hint of anger in Murong Jie's eyes, "If you want to eat late at night, I will get you something fresh."

Zian calmly looked at him, a kind of weakness slowly rose in his heart, but don't be so nice to her, the last thing she needs now is a soft heart.

Turning her head away hastily, she seemed a little at a loss.

In her past and present lives, no one around her seemed to care about her, so she would treat Yuan Shi as her mother when she was favored by Yuan Shi, and she would always remember when she got a bowl of water and two steamed buns from the porter.

However, he is not the Yuan family, nor is he a servant, he is the current regent, and he has calculations for his kindness. She is unwilling to get involved in his world to fight for something, because it is a vortex, and it will Suck her in and die without a place to bury her.

No matter in her previous life or in this life, all she did was to let herself live a good life. In her previous life, she was betrayed by her boss because of her soft heart. In this life, she can no longer be soft to anyone with scheming or power.

Zian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested.

Every step in the palace is frightening, it is very exhausting, she is almost exhausted physically and mentally.

Murong Jie has been looking at her, he has always had a little doubt about this woman, from the day when he regretted the marriage at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she came into his eyes with a startling gesture.

However, he couldn't see through her, which made him very unhappy who had always been in control.

There was another movement outside, and Zian suddenly opened his eyes.

I heard Mammy Yang's voice in my ears, "Empress, Prime Minister Xia's wife Yuan Shi is already waiting outside the palace."

The queen hummed, "Let her wait first, and then let her in after bringing Chen Linglong up."

"Yes!" Nanny Yang responded and went out.

Zian quickly stood up, walked behind the curtain and opened it, looking out through the beaded curtain.

Prime Minister Xia seemed to have sensed it. When he looked over, his eyes pierced through the bead curtain like a poisonous snake and hit Zi'an directly. The anger and hatred in his eyes could almost burn Zi'an completely.

The queen said to Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Xia: "You guys hide behind the screen first, and don't come out without my palace's order."

This is equivalent to changing seats with Zi'an, but Zi'an has an extra companion.

Chen Linglong was brought up. The clothes on her body were torn in many places, and the welt marks were exposed, which shows that she was also severely beaten in the violence room.

But this beating, compared to the day she beat the original owner Xia Zian and Xiaosun, was still too light.

The eunuchs in the violent room were always vicious, but Chen Linglong was several times more vicious than them.

Yuan Shi came in. She was wearing a blue smock with a high bun on her arm. She had no decorations on her whole body. Her face without makeup looked extraordinarily clean and noble. a feeling of.

When Mrs. Linglong saw her, she immediately opened her voice and said, "Ma'am, the empress is full of praise for your painting, and the empress said she would like to reward you."
