The aunt in charge and the palace staff were standing behind Consort Xiao, and it was too late for them to reach out and pull her.
Xu Yan was standing right in front of Consort Xiao, if he tried to help her, he would have to avoid physical contact, which would be disrespectful and would be criticised even if it was justifiable; but if he didn’t help her, Consort Xiao would fall straight to the ground, and not only would she fall on her face, he would also be blamed.
Seeing that Consort Xiao was about to hit him, Xu Yan gritted his teeth and reached out to help her, but the fourth prince had already thrown away the food box in his hand and stood in front of Xu Yan, holding Consort Xiao.
The food box fell to the ground with a thud, and the steaming cakes rolled down to the ground.
The crowd didn’t care, they swarmed forward and squeezed Xu Yan out of the way, calling out “Your Majesty” and “Your Majesty”.
Xiao Xianfei only blackened for a moment and nothing more, she closed her eyes and suppressed the emotions in her heart.
“Go get the royal doctor.”
A palace attendant hurriedly ran to invite him.
The imperial doctor came quickly.
Consort Xiao Xian was already being helped into the house.
The imperial doctor knelt on the floor, took out a silk handkerchief and put it over her wrist, carefully taking her pulse.
After a long time, he released his hand, “Your Majesty’s health is nothing serious, it is probably because she has not rested well lately. I will prescribe a few pills to calm her mind, and Your Majesty will take them on time.”
Consort Xiao Xian nodded her head.
The imperial doctor got up and carried the medicine box and retreated.
“Mother Consort.”
The Fourth Prince’s eyes were all worried.
Consort Xiao Xianfei patted his hand and looked at Xu Yan, “I am sorry for scaring Mr. Xu.”
Xu Yan bowed, “It is good that Your Majesty is alright.”
Concubine Xiao nodded, meaning to say, “Those are all gifts from His Majesty, Mr. Xu should keep them well when you return.”
“Yes.”
“Please don’t tell anyone, especially my family, about what happened today after you leave the palace.”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry.”
Consort Xiao did not say any more.
Halfway to the palanquin carriage, she met Consort Zou, who had come in a hurry.
The more she thought about it just now, the more wrong it was, and that was why she had hurried here.
“Sister this?”
Naturally, Consort Soft could not say in front of the palace that she had sensed something was wrong and wanted to go over to warn her.
“I happen to be going to your palace, I have recently acquired a new water powder that works very well, I am giving a box to sister.”
“Thank you so much sister.”
When she returned to Kunli Palace, Consort Xiao Xianfei told her about what had just happened. After hearing this, Consort Zuo was afraid, “I just don’t feel safe in my heart.
Consort Xiao Xian smiled bitterly, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you in the future.”
Consort Zuo froze.
Then something occurred to her and her eyes widened, “You, you mean ……?”
It couldn’t be, the Emperor favoured Consort Xiao Xian so much, why would he do this?
Consort Xiao Xianfei smiled even more bitterly, “What I have done these days is clear to everyone in the palace, the emperor should also have resentment.”
So you want to make Consort Xiao Xianfei fall on her face, so that she can’t go anywhere in the palace in peace?
If Concubine Xiao didn’t help her, she would have a hard time getting around in the palace.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
……
The first of these is the one where the person who is in charge of the project is the one who is in charge of the project.
Xu Yan told her what had happened in the palace, especially the words of Consort Xiao Xian who had meant something.
Mrs. Xu Yan was so shocked that she covered her mouth, “You, you mean the emperor has tampered with the reward?”
Xu Yan’s complexion sank.
Song Wangyue came quickly, and Song Yin also followed her.
After entering and listening to Xu Yan’s account of the palace, Song Wangyue checked everything and found that there was nothing wrong.
Xu Yan’s brow relaxed a little, “Perhaps we are overthinking.”
Song Wan Yue didn’t think so, Consort Xiao Xian’s words clearly meant something, but she didn’t say it in front of her aunt and uncle and asked with a smile, “What’s good to eat for lunch today?”
Mrs. Xu Yan slapped her forehead, after hearing Xu Yan’s words, she was only worried and had completely forgotten that it was already noon and that the two of them would definitely have to eat here when they arrived.
She was busy getting up, “You guys sit down first, I’ll go to the kitchen and ask them to make a few more dishes.”
As soon as she left, the three of them went to Mr. Er’s side.
Mr. Er had already learned Song Yin’s identity from Xu Yan’s mouth and couldn’t help but look at him a few more times, but Song Yin was wearing a human skin mask, so naturally he couldn’t see anything.
Song Yin sensed his gaze and called out, “Second grandfather.”
Mr. Er suppressed the wild jump in his heart, nodded his head and gestured for several people to sit down.
Xu Yan recounted what had happened in the palace today, and after listening, Second Sir’s brow furrowed, unable to guess what the Emperor wanted to do.
If he didn’t want Xu Yan to enter the palace again, he could have just said so, no need to use this kind of approach.
It was not right!
If Xu Yan helped Consort Xiao Xian, there was a chance that people would spread the word and it would not be in Xu Yan’s favour, and the other party involved, Consort Xiao Xian, would be inevitable.
The emperor could take the opportunity to snub her, and he would also take the opportunity to stop allowing Xu Yan to teach the fourth prince.
In other words, the emperor was targeting the Fourth Prince’s mother and son.
When he thought of this, Mr. Er broke out in a cold sweat. Did the emperor notice the strange movements of the Ding Guoguang Mansion, or had he never trusted Consort Xiao Xian?
If he could think of it, Song Wan Yue and Song Yin naturally thought of it too, which is why they didn’t say it in front of Madam Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was the only one who hadn’t thought of it for the time being.
When he heard the Second Mister say it, he was also shocked out of his cold sweat. The Emperor was killing two birds with one stone, using this to wipe out the Ding Guo Gongfu and the Xu family.
“It must be the rumours from the other day that made him suspicious.”
The second gentleman nodded, “I think so, after the New Year you can’t go to the palace anymore, you have to think of a way.”
If you went again, you might lose your life.
“Maybe it won’t take that long.”
The two men did not understand what Song Wan Yue meant and looked at her.
Song Wangyue met their gaze with great certainty, “Since that person has his mind set on it, there should be another plan if this one doesn’t work, maybe during the New Year.”
The two of them looked at each other, and Mr. Er asked tentatively, “Yue’er, do you have any plans?”
Song Wan Yue shook her head, “Liu Ying brought witnesses to that person, but he did not deal with the Second Prince, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter, I guess he should have another big move, and the New Year is the right time.”
Several people were silent.
The Second Lady’s voice rang out in the courtyard, “Is it Yue’er who has come?”
Several people collected their heavy expressions, and Song Wan Yue even got up to welcome her, “Second grandmother.”
The Xu family had many boys and few girls, and only one, Xu Qingwan, had disappeared for many years.
