Chapter 972 How many things is she hiding from him?
The eldest princess did not realize that something was wrong, and nodded and said, "Father, Yun'er really feels that Xiyan is very pitiful..."
"It was my mother who let her down."
"If Yun'er hadn't been sick on New Year's Eve that year, Xiyan's mother wouldn't have been beaten to death..."
"Yun'er knows that children without mothers are very pitiful... Yun'er wants Xiyan to live a better life, so she hopes to be good friends with her like before!"
"Yun'er is a princess. With Yun'er protecting Xiyan, she will never be harmed again! This way, my mother's sins can be reduced in her afterlife."
Looking at the eldest princess with an innocent face, a hint of complexity flashed in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes.
If the facts are really as Yun'er said, then Xiyan's purpose of entering the palace is definitely not simple!
Although Liu was indeed a bit cruel at times, as an emperor, he would never allow anyone to enter the palace with deliberate intent to take revenge on members of the royal family!
Of course, these were all trivial matters to Nangong Xuanyu, and it had been a long time since then. What he cared about more now was that Xiyan was serving in Zhongcui Palace and was quite trusted by Nian Nian.
So... does Nian Nian know Xiyan’s background?
Or does she not only know, but also has a relationship with Xi Yan...
Thinking of this, Nangong Xuanyu’s eyes became even darker.
Nian Nian, ah Nian Nian...how many things is she hiding from him?
"Father."
The eldest princess raised her little face and looked at Nangong Xuanyu: "Just agree to Yun'er, okay?"
Nangong Xuanyu touched her little head and said gently, "I understand. You should go back and study first."
With Nangong Xuanyu's promise, the princess felt relieved and said happily: "Yes!"
After getting the compensation, the resentment in Sister Xiyan’s heart should disappear, and they will still be best friends!
She wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to catch butterflies with her sister Xiyan like she did in the past.
After the eldest princess left, Nangong Xuanyu still lowered his head, concentrating on reviewing the memorials on the imperial desk. It was as if the eldest princess' words did not leave any ripples in his heart.
But only those who are most familiar with Nangong Xuanyu can see that he is thinking about something.
Li Changde lowered his head and waited on the side, feeling uneasy...
The eldest princess was still young and couldn't imagine so many twists and turns, but he understood them all clearly.
It was because of Xiyan's testimony that Concubine Liu was convicted.
If what the eldest princess said was true, then Xi Yan must have entered the palace with the intention of revenge on Concubine Liu! Her testimony cannot be trusted.
Moreover, Xiyan is now serving in Zhongcui Palace and is the servant of Concubine Chen. It is inevitable that people will wonder whether Xiyan was once instructed by Concubine Chen to take the opportunity to bring down Liu?
Even if the crime committed by Noble Lady Liu was true, but Concubine Chen really conspired with Xiyan to set a trap for Noble Lady Liu, I am afraid that it would leave a thorn in His Majesty's heart.
It’s not because His Majesty cares so much about Concubine Liu, but because he trusts Concubine Chen so much, and Concubine Chen actually plotted against him.
Li Changde now only hopes that he is overthinking these things, and there will be no conflicts between His Majesty and Concubine Chen.
Otherwise, those who serve in front of the emperor will have a hard time...
It was night in a blink of an eye.
As usual, the eunuch from the Jingshifang brought over the green card.
Nangong Xuanyu raised his hand and flipped over Shen Zhinian's sign.
Li Changde immediately ordered Xiao Huizi to go to Zhongcui Palace to report the news.
Xiao Huizi responded "yes" and was about to leave when Li Changde suddenly called him.
Xiao Huizi asked with a smile: "...Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Looking at the stars in the night sky, Li Changde lowered his voice and said, "Tell Concubine Chen that the eldest princess came to the Yangxin Palace today and mentioned Xi Yan's matter to His Majesty."
He is well versed in the ways of survival in the harem and never participates in the fights between concubines. Li Changde did this tonight not to help Shen Zhinian.
He just didn't want the Imperial Concubine Chen and His Majesty to have another unpleasant experience, otherwise no one would have a good life...
Although Xiao Huizi didn't know the purpose of his master's instructions, he believed that his master must have his reasons for doing so, and he just needed to obey.
"Yes!"
Soon, Xiao Huizi ran to Zhongcui Palace.
Who in the palace doesn't want to see the bird that brings good news? When the palace servants saw Xiao Huizi coming, they welcomed him in with joy on their faces.
After entering the main hall, Xiao Huizi bowed respectfully: "Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Shen Zhinian said: "Get up."
"Yes."
Xiao Huizi said with a smile: "I congratulate the Imperial Concubine Chen! His Majesty will be arriving at the Zhongcui Palace tonight, please get ready."
Nangong Xuanyu ran to Zhongcui Palace every now and then. Shen Zhinian was not very surprised at this moment. He nodded and ordered Fuqiu to reward him.
After Xiao Huizi thanked her, he whispered, "…Your Majesty, this morning, the eldest princess went to the Yangxin Palace and mentioned Xiyan in your palace."
Shen Zhinian had expected that with Concubine Zhuang's cunningness, she would definitely get information from the eldest princess. So it was only natural that she would use the eldest princess and Xiyan's matter to deal with him.
Fortunately, I had made all the preparations!
Shen Zhinian didn't say much to Xiao Huizi, but just said, "I know."
Xiao Huizi said respectfully: "The emperor still needs someone to serve him. If the noble concubine Chen has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
After Xiao Huizi left, Handan said with a look of fear: "My Queen, you really guessed it right!"
"If you hadn't resolved Xiyan's issue in advance, the eldest princess would have told His Majesty about Xiyan's life experience, and His Majesty would have been suspicious."
At this point, Handan said disdainfully: "The eldest princess is only a five-year-old child. Concubine Zhuang actually wants to take advantage of a child. It's really despicable!"
Shen Zhinian said: "Whether it is the harem, the court or the people, there is no shortage of people who will do anything to achieve their goals."
Fuqiu said, "Fortunately, Xiyan has already left the palace under Xiao Mingzi's arrangement. Concubine Zhuang's plan will fail this time."
Handan nodded: "That's right!"
Then, she looked at Shen Zhinian and said, "Your Majesty, I will help you dress up first. His Majesty should be here soon."
Shen Zhinian shook his head: "Not necessary tonight, this look is good enough."
In the past, Handan would definitely ask questions in confusion, but now she knows that no matter what the queen does, it is right!
"Yes."
Time passed by little by little. I don't know how much time had passed before Xiao Zhouzi finally ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial carriage has passed through the Imperial Garden and will soon arrive at our Zhongcui Palace!"
Only then did Shen Zhinian take the palace servants out to greet them.
Soon, Li Changde's voice was heard outside: "His Majesty has arrived --!!!"
Looking at the bright yellow figure, Shen Zhinian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"
