Chu Yun was startled at first, but after seeing Xiao Xin slowly crawling up, his body covered in sand, his face covered in dirt, and then pointing at him, she laughed out loud.

"Wow …"

Xiao Xin immediately cried, and it was that kind of earth-shattering crying sound.

Chu Yun was dumbstruck. Just as she wanted to say a few words of contempt, she saw a red liquid flowing down from Xiao Xin's head.

He was scared silly as well.

"Father, Father..."

Ninth Prince was still deep in his thoughts when he suddenly heard Chu Yun's somewhat sad and shrill shout, and immediately went over.

"What happened?" Xiao Xin's back was currently facing him, and he was already no longer crying.

Chu Yun shouted loudly in fear, "Father, he, he is bleeding."

"Wow …" Xiao Xin was not afraid of anything, he was only afraid of blood, and would cry the moment he saw it.

Ninth Prince carried Xiao Xin and rushed to the courtyard.

When Xiao Ting received the news, she also rushed over to take a look. There was a wound on Xiao Xin's forehead, it was nothing serious, but because of the movements just now, she was bleeding a little.

When the doctor finished bandaging him, Xiao Xin was still sobbing.

Chu Yun, who was at the side, looked like a kid who had done something wrong. He hid behind the screen and looked inside, embarrassed.

Xiao Ting hugged Xiao Xin in her embrace and comforted him in a small voice, "My darling, it's alright now. Be good and stop crying."

"Elder sister …"

"Yes, sister is here!"

"Elder sister, don't blame Small Cloud. She didn't do it on purpose." Xiao Xin begged Xiao Ting with red eyes.

He knew his sister's temperament and was very protective of him.

Xiao Ting looked up at a certain thief and snappily said: "You like Small Cloud so much, she pushed you till you bleed and didn't come to see you, and you still dare to speak to her."

Xiao Xin grabbed her hand and said: "Elder sister."

"Okay, okay, okay. You can't blame her. Have a good rest!"

After Xiao Ting left for a long time, Chu Yun sneaked in. She had wanted to look for Xiao Xin, but when she walked to the bedside, Xiao Xin opened her eyes and saw her.

"Small Cloud, I'm fine."

Chu Yun was just about to say something, but hearing Xiao Xin's words, she cried out tears in grievance.

"Hey, don't cry!" Xiao Xin sat up, and reached out his tender and white hands to wipe the tears off Chu Yun's face, making his look a little clumsy.

Chu Yun tilted her head and snorted: "natural son didn't cry. It's just that his eyes are a little sore, this is for you."

Xiao Xin opened it and saw that it was filled with some unknown things. Lv You came in and took a look, then said: "Yo, little gongzi, who's giving you this many medicinal ingredients?"

Medicinal material?

Xiao Xin patted his bag and said: "Small Cloud gave it to me. Sister Lv You, help me put it away in that box."

Lv You agreed with a smile, and said: "This servant understands."

On this side, Xiao Ting just had a showdown with Ninth Prince, her heart was filled with joy thinking about her future life, when she heard Zhaohua's voice coming closer and closer.

When Xiao Ting saw that it was really her, she asked, "Did the emperor permit you to leave the palace?"

Princess Zhao Hua shook his head, holding her hand, she sized her up and said: "Wa, you're so lucky, to actually be fine."

"What can happen? I am the water god, can I drown? "

Zhaohua looked at her suspiciously, "When did you know how to swim? How come I didn't know?"

Eh!

Xiao Ting laughed and asked: "What's wrong? Is something wrong? "

"By the way, do you know? A corpse was dug up from the bottom of the lake, right where you were drowning. Fortunately, you didn't see it, otherwise, you would probably have been scared to death. "

Xiao Ting's heart thumped, she remembered that she was scared by the corpse that suddenly appeared, and her legs started cramping.

Only then will you choke on the intermittent coma.

"Isn't it just a corpse? As for your fuss. " She had heard that the death of one person from an ordinary rich and powerful family was a common occurrence, not to mention the Imperial Palace.

It was a place that ate people without spitting out their bones.

"Do you know who she is?" The Zhaohua whispered in her ear, "Does Tao Zhi know?"

Xiao Ting was speechless. Tao Zhi, where is she with the willow branch?

What nonsense was this? Did she have to know?

"You don't know?" Seeing Xiao Ting's expression, Zhaohua was extremely pleased, and said: "I also spent a lot of effort to learn about it."

Xiao Ting was just about to say that it would be better for you to think of how to deal with the Emperor if you had the time.

"Imperial Concubine? Which consort? "

Could it be her aunt?

"Of course it's the Imperial Consort Xiao. Rumor has it that …"

Back then, because he did not have a high birth, when he entered the palace, he did not bring a maid with him as he lived alone in the imperial harem. At that time, there was only one palace maid attending, and that was Tao Zhi.

After that, the Imperial Consort Xiao was honored to bring Tao Zhi along to act as her personal maid. However, the Imperial Concubine suddenly miscarried and the Emperor was furious, so she ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. She actually found out about this matter only because she was jealous of the imperial concubine for being favored.

However, when he went to capture her, he found out that she had died from poison.

He even had a confession by his side, saying that he was once a pretty girl, and that he had started off like the Imperial Consort Xiao, with a completely different ending.

Knowing that he had let her down, he killed himself to repay her kindness.

Tao Zhi was ordered by the emperor to burn her bones and scatter her ashes. The Imperial Consort Xiao was soft-hearted enough to send people out of the palace and find a place to bury him.

After that, many years later, the Imperial Consort Xiao was unable to bear the pregnancy. The imperial physician determined that it was caused by the medicine from that year and feared that there would be no children in this life.

Imperial Consort Xiao's personality changed greatly for a while. Afterwards, the Emperor tried to console her, and it took a long time for her to return to normal.

At this point, the Emperor ordered that the Six Palaces would not allow anyone to bring up this matter.

Therefore, many people did not know who Tao Zhi was. However, when Tao Zhi's corpse appeared in the lake, and did not rot for a long time, it was recognized by someone in the end.

In a moment, the past was revealed, and the news spread throughout the palace.

Putting aside how much chaos the palace was in, how many people were shocked, the moment Zhaohua received the news, she immediately rushed over to inform Xiao Ting.

Most importantly, if he wanted to avoid everyone's gaze, he would have to punish her if he saw her.

But who would have thought that right after she finished speaking, Xiao Ting stood up and said: "Hong Shao, change your clothes, I is about to enter the palace."

Princess Zhao Hua wanted to die.

At this moment, a huge uproar was stirred within the Imperial Palace due to the death of a palace maid who had been dead for many years.

Especially the Yao Chi Palace. After the Imperial Consort Xiao fainted, the Emperor summoned almost all of the imperial physicians. After an hour of treatment, even though he had woken up, he had become a sickly beauty.

Lying dying on the chaise longue, she didn't want to see anyone, not even the Emperor.

The Emperor was infuriated, but even more so, he felt his heart ache.

Therefore, he ordered the corpse to be burned to ashes. Whoever caused his little heart to be hurt, he would not let anyone off easy.

The leader of the imperial guards who had gone to investigate this matter had returned. Since the Heart Lake was very calm and the waters were deep in some places, there were always guards stationed there, afraid that someone would fall into it.

In the early stages of the lotus flower blooming, there were people specially looking after it, but they didn't find anything strange.

He had never seen the corpse before.

The leader of the imperial guards made a guess. This corpse must have been thrown into the lake in the past two days.

"In two days, it will be your birthday. Imperial Concubine will dance for you on the Heart Lake every year …"

When the person said this, the emperor immediately understood. With a furious expression, he said, "This is your imperial concubine's life!"

If it was night, when the moon was high in the sky, and he was at the center of the lake, how would he be able to survive if he were to fall into the water?

Thinking up to here, the emperor immediately ordered, "Investigate this matter thoroughly for me. If this matter isn't clear, then all of you can leave your duties and return to the fields."

Although His Majesty couldn't be considered to be someone with great talent, she'd always been benevolent and benevolent, much less say something like that.

From this, it could be seen how infuriated he was by the events of the day.

"This subject follows the decree. It's just that Your Majesty, this corpse has an odd origin. It hasn't rotted for a long time, please wait a bit before you dispose of it."

The emperor's eyes widened. He was about to say something when the imperial concubine walked out with the support of a palace maid and said, "Your majesty, you agreed! Tao Zhi has already been dead for so many years, chenqie also wants to know who exactly wanted to harm me and why did they treat her like that. "

It was clear that Imperial Consort Xiao had never believed in confession. It was just that at that time, her foundation was still unstable and she had to let go of this loyal servant.

"Alright, alright, alright. Just do as Imperial Concubine said. What are you doing if your body isn't well? Quickly go in and rest." The Emperor's heart ached as she looked at his own little heart. Her pale complexion reminded him of those years ago.

I still feel guilty.

When Xiao Ting arrived at the Yao Chi Palace, the Emperor had already left. Xiao Ting shook her head at the personal maid that was serving the Imperial Concubine. That maid saw that it was her, gave it a thought and then left.

The woman on the imperial concubine's bed was lying on her side. Her delicate and graceful figure was moving up and down gracefully. With just a side view, one could imagine her peerless grace and tenderness.

The palace muslin draped over her body in a casual manner. A strand of black silk fell to the ground, causing ripples to form on the surface as the gentle wind blew against her body.

When Xiao Ting walked closer, she realized that the Imperial Consort Xiao was already asleep.

The corner of her mouth curled up, and her hands made a cuddling gesture in front of her, her expression was filled with a gentleness and love she had never shown before.

However, there was a line of tears at the corner of his eyes. It was very obvious.

Grief filled her whole being, and even the smile on her lips was bitter.

His aunt had been a pampered one all those years ago, so naturally she had attracted the envy of many. However, most of them were jealousy and indignation.

Not long after receiving favour from the Imperial Consort Xiao, a joyous event occurred, and the emperor who found out about this matter was practically preparing and caring for her. It was also at that time that the sloppy-looking job of the Xiao Guowei fell to the ground.

Everyone had a profound understanding of what it meant by 'a person gains enlightenment from the path, a dog rises to the heavens'!

If the outside world was so envious of Imperial Consort Xiao, then what about the women in the palace?

As a result, Tao Zhi drugged the Imperial Consort Xiao, causing it to become mischievous and childless.

Seeing her aunt like this, Xiao Ting's heart ached for no reason.

Xiao Ting sat on the ground, leaning on the imperial concubine's bed, and reached out to grab Imperial Consort Xiao's arm. She could clearly feel her body shivering, and she had hugged the nothingness closer.

"Aunt …"
