Chapter 420 Death Is Imminent

The wedding was spent in joy and sorrow, but Xiao Xiao still had no news.

Xia Lin went to Hanshan and said he would come back in two days, but he didn't come back, he just asked the toothless fat man to come back and inform him that he would not come back for the time being.

As for Xiao Xiao's situation, Fatty didn't say anything.

Zhuang Zhuang didn't ask any further questions, nor did he say that he wanted to see Xiao Xiao, she was waiting there in Jingzhong.

After going through so many things, Zhuang Zhuang's temper became much quieter, he occasionally went to the palace to pay his respects, occasionally went to see Hu Huanxi and Zi'an, and more often, he sat quietly in the mansion.

The results of King Nanhuai's investigation came out. As everyone expected, his conclusion was that Han Qingqiu had killed Yao Zhi. As a result, the letter of divorce was finally published in a righteous posture.

Han Qingqiu's tombstone was taken away. A sinner should not have a tombstone, and she is no longer from the Xiao family.

For the next few days, Murong Jie left early and returned late, while Zi An went to Liang Wangfu to heal his leg injury during the day, and returned home at night to prepare dinner. For a while, she cooked almost all the dinner for the two of them.

Longan was transferred to the accountant, and the accountant said that he had great potential and was willing to teach him, which comforted Zian.

It was a peaceful day, but everyone knew that the calm would not last long.

Sure enough, as soon as she came back from Prince Liang's mansion that day, Ah Fu came and said that the noble concubine wanted to see her.

Zi'an thought of marrying into this family, and hadn't gotten along with this mother-in-law very much, and hadn't gone to invite An, but this time he was summoned suddenly, and the person who came was not kind.

"Wangfei, the concubine summoned me suddenly. I'm afraid there will be problems. Do you want to wait for the prince to come back before going there together?" Momo asked.

Zian thought for a while, "It doesn't matter, I'll go and see what she wants first."

"However, the imperial concubine is difficult to deal with. If you go to see her like this, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss." Mammy was very worried.

"It's okay, she still doesn't dare to attack me in the mansion, and I also want to see what she's thinking after being still for so long." Zi'an said.

Mammy was still worried, "Then why don't I accompany you?"

"Alright!" Zi'an responded.

Mammy called Boss Dao, and the two accompanied Zi'an to Qingning Pavilion.

Zi'an has never been here since he got married. Qingning Pavilion is very antique, of course, it is ancient.

However, there are some discrepancies with Zian's presets here. There are many calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and furniture in the hall, all of which are high-quality rosewood or mahogany. The jade screen is the only thing that looks a little exaggerated, because the screen A flying blue bird is carved, which is particularly abrupt.

The noble concubine was sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the center of the hall, wearing a black brocade embroidered outer garment with patterns of clusters of flowers, her hair tied in a bun, her noble appearance as before.

The weather is a bit cold, so there is a charcoal fire in the house, and the temperature is at least ten degrees different from the outside.

Zi'an took off his coat, handed it to Xiaosun, and bowed to pay his respects, "I've seen the imperial concubine."

The noble concubine looked at her, and slowly raised a smile on her face. The smile was very stiff, as if it had been pulled out, "Come on, sit down!"

Zi'an thanked him and sat down.

The noble concubine looked at the nanny and Xiaosun, "You go out first, the Ai family and Zi'an's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking."

Momo glanced at Zi'an, and Zi'an also said: "Go, listen to the order of the imperial concubine."

Mammy followed her because she was worried, and she was sent out when she arrived. She was really worried in her heart, but she couldn't disobey the imperial concubine's words, so she had to take Xiaosun and retreated.

The door was closed, and Ah Fu stood beside the noble concubine, not even offering a cup of tea to Zian.

However, even if it was offered, Zian couldn't drink it, because beside her was Fang'er who was good at poisoning.

"Are you still used to living in the palace?" The Concubine Gui asked leisurely.

Zi'an smiled, "Grand Concubine Xie Gui cares and is very used to it."

"It's good to get used to it, there are no rules in the manor, you get used to it easily, it's easy to get used to it." The Concubine Gui said, this is not meant to be critical, but she always speaks like this.

Zian still smiled and didn't speak.

"Ah Jie is not very close to Ai's family, but mother-child love is there. As a daughter-in-law, you can go to Ai's house more often." The imperial concubine said, her expression relaxed slowly, not as majestic as when she first entered the door.

Zi'an said, "Yes!"

The Concubine Noble nodded, "The Ai family misunderstood you before and did things that hurt you, you don't take it to heart, do you?"

Zi'an sneered from the bottom of his heart, wouldn't he take it to heart? How could it not be let go? She almost killed her.

"No!" Zian said very sincerely, but he kept it in his mind, and he could never forget it.

The noble concubine looked at the scarred rope wrapped around her arm, and felt that it was an eyesore, so she said displeasedly: "The wrapped rope on your arm is not very good-looking, take it off."

Zi'an touched it casually, "It's okay, just get used to it."

The noble concubine stared at her, "The empress dowager gave it to you, right?"

"Yes!" This was the first time Zian talked with the imperial concubine like this, and he never knew her language was so sharp.

"Do you think this scar rope can keep you forever?" The noble concubine smiled lightly.

Zian shook his head, "I never thought so."

Concubine Gui's eyes sparkled, "It's good that you know, you are very smart, Ai Jia likes dealing with smart people very much."

Zi'an said: "Your concubine is absurd."

The noble concubine looked at her without speaking, and there was a brief silence between the two.

Zi An lowered her head, she knew that the Concubine Gui was studying her, and Zi An was really curious about what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

After a while, the Concubine Gui spoke slowly, "It's nothing, you can go."

Zi'an didn't look surprised at all, just stood up and bowed, "Yes, leave!"

As soon as she walked to the door, the voice of the noble concubine came from behind her, "Xia Zian, you are not a person who is willing to be ordinary, have you ever thought about what will happen to Ah Jie and you once the emperor wakes up or the crown prince ascends the throne?" situation?"

Finally said.

Zi'an turned around, feeling a little dazed, "Zi'an is dull, I don't know what the Concubine Gui said."

"You know, don't pretend to be ignorant in front of Aijia, you have worked so hard to climb up, Aijia knows exactly what you want."

Zi'an smiled, "Grand Concubine is really insightful, even I don't know what I want, and Concubine Gui knows?"

The imperial concubine smiled lightly, her eyes still shone shrewdly, "In front of Aijia, you should stop pretending, you want the position of empress, you want to be the mother of the world, you absolutely don't want to be inferior to anyone Yes, a smart person like you should know that once the emperor wakes up or dies, Ah Jie will lose power, during his tenure as regent, he offended so many people, did he think about the consequences?"

Zi'an said: "What good idea does your concubine have?"

"Go back and persuade him. Since the throne is within your reach, why give it up?" The imperial concubine finally revealed the purpose of letting Zi'an come over.

Zi Anfu said, "I have no right to interfere with the affairs of the court, nor can I interfere. As for what the prince intends to do, as a wife, I can only obey."

The Concubine Gui sneered, "Aijia said you were smart just now, but I never thought you would be so foolish that you wouldn't even know when you were about to die."
