After the concubine ran away with the baby, the abstinent prince went crazy

Yan Qingning walked to the carved stone railing and looked into the distance. "If it was her, it would be easy to talk to her. We can settle the score together. But do you think that the grudge between Yan Xiwei and I would be as simple as just embarrassing me if you were her?"

If I were in Yan Xiwei's shoes, if I didn't move, then it would be fine. But if I did move, I would have to expose the other person's skin anyway.

Cheng Wanshuang took a breath and said, "That makes sense. If you really lose face in front of everyone, there is no doubt that Yan Xiwei is the most suspicious. Yan Xiwei is not that stupid."

Then, Cheng Wanshuang blamed herself a little, "It's all my fault. I should have said less today. I'm sorry."

Yan Qingning shook her head. Even if Cheng Wanshuang didn't mention it, could Yan Xiwei still forget her?

how could it be possible.

"But why didn't you say it out loud just now..." Cheng Wanshuang said angrily, "If we trace it to the bottom, I don't believe we won't find it on Lu Ying..."

Yan Qingning chuckled, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

Cheng Wanshuang was silent for a moment, "Yes, Lu Ying has calculated that you will be in trouble. If you shout it out, the Grand Princess will back her up.

In addition, to put it mildly, even if the evidence is found out, I dare say that the Grand Princess can just explain it away by saying it was a childish joke or a prank.

Besides, you won’t be able to get along well with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and others will also say that you can’t stand the slightest grievance and are ignorant…”

As Cheng Wanshuang saw that Yan Qingning did not respond, she decided to change the subject and couldn't help but ask about the matter between her and King Qing.

But the urge to go to the bathroom came again, and Cheng Wanshuang stamped her feet immediately, "Oh, I need to go change clothes, do you want to come with me?"

"No!" Yan Qingning said unhappily.

Cheng Wanshuang knew that she was in a bad mood and didn't mind her tone. She patted her arm and said, "I'll get you some snacks after I finish using the toilet. Wait for me here."

Yan Qingning's face was dark: "...No need."

After Cheng Wanshuang left, Yuqi finally had time to ask her, "Master, do you think it could be the Grand Princess?"

Yan Qingning shook her head: "No."

Yuqi was a little puzzled. "The Grand Princess already had a lot of complaints about you, and you touched her weak spot and moved Princess He'an and the Princess Consort. She..."

Yan Qingning explained: "I indirectly offended the Grand Princess. If she wants to touch me at this time, she will definitely set a deadly trap for me."

"Putting laxatives in my food is more like a prank between children. It's embarrassing at best. And it's a little too small, so it can't be the eldest princess."

Yuqi nodded after hearing this, "Master, what you said makes sense."

Yan Qingning turned around and wanted to sit for a while. At this moment, she found a palace maid walking towards her with small steps. She bowed slightly and said, "Are you the concubine Ning from Prince Qing's mansion?"

"Yes!" Yan Qingning said simply.

The maid said, "The Queen Mother has sent Concubine Ning to the Hexin Pavilion to talk."

Yan Qingning's eyes flickered, "He Xinting?"

Hexin Pavilion is nearby, but why did the Queen Mother ask me to do that?

Yan Qingning looked suspicious, "Hey, I saw the Queen Mother heading towards Haitang Garden."

After she finished speaking, she stared at the maid, trying to see some clues from her subtle expression.

It's not that she has paranoid delusions and is too cautious.

But as soon as Cheng Wanshuang left, the empress dowager sent people to look for her. She felt that there were not many coincidences in the world.

She had to be careful, because if something went wrong, it would be a problem in her current situation.

Besides, she was probably just a bunch of people hating each other. She wouldn't be so self-indulgent as to think that the Queen Mother liked her just because she didn't make things difficult for her.

The maid was stunned for a moment, then said, "Perhaps Concubine Ning has seen it wrong? The Empress Dowager is in the Hexin Pavilion. Concubine Ning, please hurry up. I can't bear to keep the Empress Dowager waiting for a long time..."

Yan Qingning didn't notice anything unusual from the palace maid, so she judged that either what the maid said was true.

Or he has a strong psychological quality and is very good at disguise.

In any case, she had no right to refuse.

And it’s really not good to go late.

As the maid walked towards the Hexin Pavilion, Yan Qingning started talking to her, "What's your name?"

"I am Shaoyao." Shaoyao said honestly.

Yan Qingning said nonchalantly: "I used to go to the palace often, but I have never seen you in the Queen Mother's palace."

The original owner had spent quite a bit of time in the Empress Dowager's Palace. Although she wasn't very familiar with them, she knew most of the palace maids there, but she had never seen Shaoyao.

Of course, she knew that it was common for palace maids to be dispatched.

Shaoyao glanced at her and said calmly, "I am a maid in the flower room."

In fact, this was the name given to her by the manager after she was transferred to the greenhouse.

The steward said she didn't deserve her original name.

Yan Qingning paused, "Who asked you to run errands?"

Shaoyao looked at Yan Qingning with some confusion, "It was an old maid in the Queen Mother's palace who sent me to look for you."

Yan Qingning said that she felt something was wrong.

"Do you know the nanny in the Empress Dowager's palace?" Yan Qingning asked.

Shaoyao looked innocent and said, "I don't know him..."

"Then how do you know for sure that she is the nanny in the Empress Dowager's palace?" Yan Qingning asked.

Shaoyao blinked her innocent eyes and said as a matter of course: "She told me that."

He also looked at Yan Qingning with a look that said "you are so stupid" and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The corner of Yan Qingning's mouth twitched fiercely, and she almost let this naive person lead her into a ditch.

She said she was from the Empress Dowager's palace. Does she believe that she was from the Empress Dowager's palace?

No wonder peony is used to tend flowers and plants.

This is also thanks to her love for flowers and plants, otherwise, it is unknown whether Peony can survive until now.

"Concubine Ning?" The palace maid looked anxious, fearing that she would be punished because Yan Qingning was late.

Yan Qingning suddenly said, "You may have made a mistake. The Queen Mother has left Hexin Pavilion and is now in Haitang Garden."

Hexin Pavilion and Haitang Garden are two completely different places.

But the two places are not far apart, separated only by a rockery.

Shaoyao looked confused and asked stupidly, "When did it happen?"

Yan Qingning raised her hand to support her forehead. "A palace maid told me this before you came. Okay, I'll go see the Queen Mother myself.

Go take care of the flowers and plants, or the superiors will think you are slacking off if they can't find you."

"Oh..." Shaoyao responded, looking confused and feeling something was wrong.

But she didn't know what was wrong, but before she left, she didn't forget to tell Yan Qingning, "Then Ning concubine should go over quickly. If you go too late, you will be punished."

Yan Qingning waved her hand and let her go.

Seeing Shaoyao leave, Yuqi looked confused and asked, "Master, do you suspect that someone is plotting against us again?"

"Who knows? It won't hurt to be careful." Yan Qingning turned around and walked back. "It's better to have less trouble than more!"

Yuqi followed her and whispered, "If it really was the Queen Mother, would she blame you for not going over?"

Yan Qingning didn't take it seriously, "It's nothing, I can just find an excuse to cover it up when the time comes."

"Help, help..."

At this moment, they heard the child's cries for help from behind.
