Chapter 177

Lin Jinxiu's calculation is good, and just as Lin Jinxiu said, Qin Jiayan didn't go out of the palace gate until he went to xuanding gate, and was stopped by a very short palace man.

"Little prince, my maidservant is from Zichen palace. I heard that the prince is about to leave to meet the western regions with the princess. My mother specially asked my maidservant to invite the little prince to have a chat." the palace man lowered his head and spoke steadily.

Qin Jiayan was stunned. He only felt that the palace man was a little strange, so he asked, "since your mother knows that the king is here, why don't you come in person, but ask the king to go to the back palace."

"This......" the palace man didn't seem to expect Qin Jiayan to ask like this. He didn't respond for a moment, but he quickly replied: "the little prince is joking. Zichen palace has caused a lot of trouble recently. I'm afraid my mother can't get out. So she specially ordered my maidservant to invite the prince."

"Why do you look so green?" the maid looked quite steady, but the more so, Qin Jiayan felt more and more wrong.

"When I returned to the little prince, the maidservant was on duty in Zichen palace recently. The little prince doesn't often walk in the back palace, and it's normal to don't recognize the maidservant." the palace man still lowered his head and didn't change his posture while talking, and Qin Jiayan didn't call her to get up.

Zichen palace is in an extraordinary period now. Qin Jiayan knows this very well. He doesn't want to cause any trouble to Liu Ruyan at this juncture.

But I'm about to go to the western regions. I may never come back from this trip. I don't know when I'll see you again. When I leave the palace, there's no turning back.

Qin Jiayan made a mistake in an instant. Emotionally, he wanted to go, but reason told him that he could not step into the back palace

"Little prince?" seeing Qin Jiayan's trance, the palace man raised his head and asked, looking at Qin Jiayan's eyes quite strange.

Qin Jiayan was pulled back from his thoughts. Emotion finally defeated reason. Qin Jiayan sighed silently and said, "let's go."

The palace man then nodded and turned to lead the way.

The boy behind him seemed worried, but he didn't make a sound when he hit Qin Jiayan's eyes.

All the way to the door of Zichen palace without a word, Qin Jiayan saw that the door of Zichen palace was cold. Qin Jiayan confirmed his mind and waved to the little boy behind him.

When the palace man looked back, there was no shadow of Qin Jiayan and the boy behind him. He couldn't help standing in place and staring silly.

Qin Jiayan took the boy beside him and hid to one side. He looked at the palace people outside standing in place and looking around. After searching for a long time, he was unwilling to leave. He was relieved.

In the twinkling of an eye, I saw zhen'er coming with meals in the distance. Only zhen'er was alone.

You should know that zhen'er is also a big palace man in Zichen palace. There were many palace men under her, but now there is only one person to take the meal. Qin Jiayan knows that Zichen palace is in a bad situation. He hasn't seen the palace man who claimed to be Zichen palace just now.

"Little prince, why are you here!" zhen'er was startled when she saw Qin Jiayan. She looked around and saw no one around. She was relieved.

Fortunately, the door of Zichen palace is deserted now, and no one will come. If Qin Jiayan is seen coming to Zichen Palace at this juncture, Liu Ruyan will not be able to speak clearly.

Qin Jiayan talked with zhen'er about the matter just now, and then charged: "I'm looking at something wrong. Go back and trust your mother, for fear of trouble."

"Thank you for reminding me. Now Zichen palace is in an eventful age. You'd better go back quickly. It's bad to let people see it." zhen'er hurriedly saluted, lowered her head and hurried away with the meal.

In the imperial study, min'er waited in front of Lian Chengming as usual, pretending to mention it unintentionally: "Your Majesty, I have a word that I always want to say to your majesty. I hope your majesty won't be angry and listen to my words."

Lian Chengming lifted his eyelids slightly, but the pen in his hand didn't stop and didn't make a sound, which meant that min'er said it was.

Min'er's lips moved slightly and said, "it's about Princess Hui..."

"During my stay in Zichen palace, I also received a lot of kindness from empress Hui. I know that empress Hui is not a person who can do that kind of rebellious thing.

Now your majesty hasn't stepped into the Zichen palace for a long time. I'm afraid that the people in those palaces will look at the Zichen palace and be bullied. Everyone will ride on the head of Princess Hui. "

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to calm down after you have been angry with empress huifei for so long. Coincidentally, I also want to go back and have a look at empress huifei. Why don't you just stay with me?"

These words came out word by word according to Lin Jinxiu's instructions. With miner's charming tone, they became more charming.

With that, min'er went over and sat down next to Lian Chengming. He put his hands around Lian Chengming's arms and half his body around Lian Chengming.

As everyone knows, Lian Chengming hates being entangled like this when dealing with government affairs. At this time, Lian Chengming has frowned and is deeply unhappy.

Lian Chengming suddenly breaks away from min'er's bondage, pushes min'er back and falls to the ground. Min'er is caught off guard and exclaims: "Your Majesty..."

"Don't you want to go to Zichen palace? Don't you get up yet." Lian Chengming stood up, straightened his skirt with both hands, and said stiffly.

"Yes..." min'er quickly agreed. She bit her lower lip deeply and leaned down to keep up with Lian Chengming's footsteps.

In the past few days, Lian Chengming has always had such an uneven tone and attitude, and has never had any warmth. In the past, when min'er waited on Liu Ruyan, he watched Lian Chengming's tenderness towards Liu Ruyan.

Now he is like a puppet. He does things that are no different from when he was a slave all day. He has to be driven and manipulated by others. Often thinking about this, min'er thinks of Zichen Palace's kindness to her, and his heart is like a knife.

But now, the lives of her parents and relatives are being held in Lin Jinxiu's hands. Forced by her mother and brother, she has come to this step. She has no choice.

Without hesitation, min'er followed Lian Chengming's side. Just out of the door, he raised his head and even his chest. He raised his habitual smiling face and followed Lian Chengming's side, as if he had received much favor from Lian Chengming and walked proudly.

Father-in-law Xu immediately followed, glanced at min'er and quickly lowered his head.

Lian Chengming's face was expressionless and his steps were so fast that min'er could hardly keep up.

All the way to Zichen palace, he saw the deserted courtyard of Zichen palace and paused for a while.
