Empress Dowager Han smiled, but her eyes were quite complicated.

"Xiaotang, Xuan'er is not in the palace, not by my Majesty and I~ I am afraid there are times when I can't take care of it... I can't guard against it, it's beyond my reach..."

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel moved.

Empress Dowager Han said a few words, but when she saw that Ji Xiaotang was not very keen, she was very calm. Later, she talked about family matters with Ji Xiaotang until Zheng Gui came back.

"Where is Yu'er, why didn't you follow you?" Queen Mother Han asked Zheng Gui.

"Go back to the Empress Dowager, Yu'er followed the prince in the Ganqing Palace." Emperor Longqing met Qin Zhen alone in the Ganqing Palace. Qin Lin and Qin Yu have now beaten a few people out. Zheng Gui came to Cining Palace. He said goodbye to Empress Dowager Han and also notified Ji Xiaotang.

"Forget it, I know you are busy and the couple can't get along. Let's go back for now. Remember to come to the palace to see me." Empress Dowager Han waved her hand and allowed Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui to leave.

Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui salute and were about to go out.

"By the way, next time I enter the palace, remember to..." Empress Dowager Han called Ji Xiaotang. "Remember to bring your sister's child to me, and I heard that you have raised her very well."

Empress Dowager Han said this with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang's face suddenly became stiff. She slowly lowered her head and responded.

A malicious smile appeared on the corner of Queen Mother Han's mouth, which was almost unconcealed. She waved her hand, and this time she really let Ji Xiaotang go.

Zheng Gui did not bow her head. She not only saw Ji Xiaotang's instant stiff face, but also saw the malicious smile on Empress Dowager Han's face clearly.

Not long after they left Cining Palace, they met Qin Zhen and Qin Lin and their group.

Qin Zhen immediately frowned slightly when he saw Ji Xiaotang.

Not only Qin Zhen noticed Ji Xiaotang's abnormal mood. Qin Lin also noticed it. Qin Lin glanced at Zheng Gui, and Zheng Gui blinked at Qin Lin. Qin Lin immediately knew that something must have happened just now.

Everyone was together, so Qin Lin asked Zheng Gui if he was not good.

"Xiaotang, what's wrong?" Qin Zhen walked to Ji Xiaotang, took Xuan'er and hugged him from Ji Xiaotang's arms, and asked Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and shook his head, but the smile was far from reaching his eyes.

Qin Zhen knew that something really happened, but it was hard to continue asking questions now.

The group left the palace like this and arrived outside the palace gate. Qin Lin came over and said he wanted to discuss some things with Qin Zhen.

"The weather is good today, so it's good to just walk around like this." Qin Lin and Qin Zhen walked in front, and Zheng Gui came over with a smile and discussed with Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Zheng Gui had something to tell her, so she gave Zheng Gui this opportunity.

The carriage and horses and the followers were all following behind. Qin Yu and Qin Ying walked together. Xuan'er was held by the wet nurse and followed behind. Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang walked slowly forward.

Outside the Forbidden Palace, there are large open spaces with no pedestrians, and the guards are standing far away, so there is no need to worry about who will hear them.

"Xiaotang, I want to thank you today." Zheng Gui solemnly thanked Ji Xiaotang.

It was Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er who lifted the siege for Qin Yu, not only saving Qin Yu, but also allowing her and Qin Lin to avoid conflicts with Empress Dowager Han.

"Xiaotang, you can understand my feelings better if you have Xuan'er. The Queen Mother, she treats Yu'er like that. I know she has bad intentions, but there is no way to do it." Speaking of the situation at that time, Zheng Gui's voice trembled. "Xiaotang, you must think that in public, she just scared us and scared Yu'er. If you really think that way, you are very wrong."

Zheng Gui told Ji Xiaotang: "At that time, she really knew how to do it!"

Ji Xiaotang showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Do you know how many ways she can harm people silently in front of people?"

"Sister Gui..." Ji Xiaotang looked at Zheng Gui, hoping that she could explain in more detail.

As Zheng Gui expected, Ji Xiaotang was very concerned about this topic.

"...People on the spot didn't feel anything, and they didn't know what she said, but after leaving, they couldn't live to twelve hours."

"Is there such a way to harm people?!"

"Why aren't there? I don't know how many unjust ghosts died under her methods. Xiaotang, think about it carefully, do you still use me to remind you again?" Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes gradually became gloomy.

Zheng Gui knew that Ji Xiaotang must have thought of something.

"Xiaotang, think carefully. She has harmed more people than you can think of, and more terrifying than you can think of."

After Zheng Gui said this, he refused to continue.

"Xiaotang, you can come forward to save Yu'er today. The prince and I have seen your heart clearly. The prince, I and Yu'er will be grateful to you all my life. Your heart to Yu'er is the heart to the prince and I live with Xuan'er... I know that she must be sowed in front of you, but I also believe that you will not be used by her and be sowed by her."

"Xuan'er will always be Yu'er's brother. The prince and I are treating Xuan'er, which is equivalent to Yu'er."

Ji Xiaotang understood that Zheng Gui was telling her that Prince Su's mansion would not harm Xuan'er.

"Sister Gui, your heart that you treat Xuan'er is the heart that the prince and I treat Yu'er." Ji Xiaotang looked at Zheng Gui and said frankly.

Zheng Gui nodded repeatedly, as if very pleased. She knew that even without discussing with Qin Zhen in advance, Ji Xiaotang could speak on behalf of Qin Zhen.

"Xiaotang, we have a final say."

"A word is certain." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

The two of them walked slowly for a while and said something. Qin Zhen and Qin Lin stood in front and waited for them.

Finally, Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang said goodbye with smiles and got on the carriage respectively.

Ji Xiaotang was sitting in the carriage, and the curtain slowly fell down. She could still see Zheng Gui waving goodbye to her, and Qin Yu was also smiling at her.

The An Mansion let the carriages of Prince Su Mansion go first. The two mansions walked forward for a while, and then separated at the intersection and returned to their respective homes.

On the carriage, Ji Xiaotang conveyed what Zheng Gui said to Qin Zhen just now.

Qin Zhen smiled and finished listening, not saying anything.

When they returned to Prince An's mansion, they came to the upper room of Yichun Hall, took off their big clothes, changed into homely clothes, and asked the servants to take Qin Ying and Xuan'er to rest. They sat opposite each other and had tea on the kang.

"Xiaotang, what happened in Cining Palace between Li Palace?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang, "Why are your face so ugly?"

Ji Xiaotang did not answer immediately, but took a sip of fragrant tea slowly and then gently put down the tea cup.
