Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

Lady Wen was very trustworthy. Not long after Gu Youning returned to Changchun Palace, the new roster was delivered.

Gu Youning opened it and the first page said that the Wen family's secret agent in Ci'an Palace was a fireman.

It is indeed inconspicuous, but if it is usable, it will not attract attention.

"Please ask He Jin to investigate this eunuch and see if he has any connections with other palaces."

When doing things in Ci'an Palace, she had to make sure that nothing went wrong.

Tan Yin quickly agreed and went.

He Jin was very careful in his work. He asked Xiao Anzi to come to Tan Yin the next day to tell her that there was nothing wrong with the eunuch.

Gu Youning nodded secretly. The Wen family's manpower in the harem was indeed hidden, and even He Jin couldn't find out. She could feel more at ease when letting these people do things in the future.

……

Ci'an Palace.

Gu Youxin was sitting in Jing'an Residence, impatiently urging Xianyu and the others, "Why don't you help the eldest prince change his clothes quickly? The Queen Mother is still waiting to see someone."

Behind the golden nanmu screen, Xian Yu looked worried. She glanced outside, leaned over, and whispered, "Or the Grand Prince will say he has a stomachache and can't move."

Xiao Yunzheng shook his head with a serious face.

He had promised his mother to put his own protection first, so he did not agree to let his aunt play in Ci'an Palace yesterday. But today his aunt came here at the behest of the Empress Dowager, and she must be determined to let him go out.

Pretending to be sick is too easy to be exposed and will also make the Empress Dowager unhappy.

"With my aunt and Grandpa Xiao Shengzi here, nothing will happen."

Xiao Yunzheng whispered in Xianyu's ear.

Xianyu had no other choice. Not to mention that the Fourth Young Lady was using the Queen Mother's words as an excuse today, even the First Prince would not stay here for just one or two days. He couldn't really not even step out of the door.

"Aunt, it's alright."

Just as Gu Youxin was about to get up and sit behind the screen impatiently, Xiao Yunzheng came out.

"The eldest prince is so cute today!"

Xiao Yunzheng had two symmetrical pigtails tied with a red silk ribbon on her head, and wore a small goose yellow satin cloak lined with fox fur, looking very cute.

But no matter how cute they are, it’s useless because the King of Hell will take them away soon.

Thinking of this, Gu Youxin's smile grew even wider.

"Let's go and pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Yunzheng blinked his eyes full of innocence.

"Okay, Auntie will take you there right away."

After leaving the door, Gu Youxin stopped.

She glanced at Xian Yu and the palace maids and eunuchs following behind her, frowned worriedly and said, "The Queen Mother likes quietness. If she sees so many people following the eldest prince, I'm afraid she will be unhappy."

Without waiting for Xianyin to speak, Gu Youxin looked down at the seemingly bewildered Xiao Yunzheng and said, "The eldest prince surely doesn't want the queen mother to scold my sister for this, right?"

Xiao Yunzheng frowned, and glanced at Xianyu, who looked disapproving. After hesitating for a long time, he childishly ordered, "Aunt Xianyu, take two eunuchs with me. Everyone else, please go back first."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Xian Yu received a signal from the young master and asked Xiao Shengzi to guard the house, and took the other two eunuchs and Xiao Yunzheng out together.

Only then did Gu Youxin walk forward contentedly, holding the palace maid's hand.

Although she was very confident that she could accomplish her mission today, it would be better if Xiao Yunzheng had as few people as possible around him to avoid any trouble.

Along the way, Xian Yu held Xiao Yunzheng's hand, paying close attention to the movements under her feet and around her, and signaled with her eyes to the two eunuchs to guard her and the eldest prince.

But less than a hundred meters after walking out of Jingningju, Xianyu felt her hand being held.

She was so startled that she quickly lowered her head, only to see the eldest prince's dark eyes blink. Before she could react, a childish voice rang out, "Aunt Xianyu, are there any fish in that pond?"

When Gu Youxin turned around, Xiao Yunzheng's small hand was pointing at the pond less than ten steps away.

"Prince, it's so cold, the fish must have hidden away long ago."

Xianyu objected subconsciously, but just after she finished speaking, she realized that the eldest prince might have said that on purpose. Did she ruin the eldest prince's plan?

The eldest prince is extremely intelligent, and his wit and strategy have already surpassed that of an average six-year-old child.

"Aunt Xianyu is lying. Even if the lake is frozen, the fish can still swim below. I often see that when I'm in the palace."

Xiao Yunzheng shook off Xian Yu's hand with an unhappy look on his face.

"Grand Prince, this..."

Although she knew that the eldest prince did it on purpose, Xianyu was slow to think and was stunned.

Others looked at him in a state of bewilderment.

"I'm going to the pond to look at the fish."

Xiao Yunzheng pointed at the pond.

"The eldest prince just wants to go to the pond to take a look. Why bother trying to stop him? Do you want to be the eldest prince's boss?"

Gu Youxin suppressed the joy in her heart. It was as if God was helping her. Her first idea was to lure Xiao Yunzheng to the pool, but this was too deliberate. If something happened, she would inevitably find it difficult to escape. Moreover, the palace servants in Changchun Palace were very wary and would definitely stop her.

She then came up with another plan.

Now that Xiao Yunzheng was clamoring to go to the pool, it was only natural for her to agree out of pampering her nephew.

Even if it doesn't work out, it's okay. The rockery has already been arranged.

There were also two eunuchs sweeping up fallen leaves nearby, so we had witnesses.

"I dare not. I will obey the eldest prince."

Xian Yu hurriedly apologized to Xiao Yunzheng.

Xiao Yunzheng's face immediately lit up with joy, and the group walked towards the pond.

When they were almost at the edge of the pool, Gu Youxin winked at the palace maid behind her.

"Be careful, my prince."

In front, Xian Yu pulled Xiao Yunzheng, who had already reached the edge of the pool, and spoke urgently.

“There really are fish in there.”

Xiao Yunzheng shouted with joy.

Xianyu glanced down, but saw nothing.

Then her hand tightened again. Xianyu lowered her head and saw that the eldest prince's gaze was on the other side.

There was a stone slab covered with a lot of moss.

"Are there really any fish? My aunt wants to come and see too."

There were two eunuchs blocking behind them, so Gu Youxin did not see what the master and servant did.

"Aunt, come and see, the fish here are more beautiful than those in the Imperial Garden."

Xiao Yunzheng clapped his hands happily.

Xian Yu understood the young master's intention this time. She and two eunuchs stood on Xiao Yunzheng's right side, so Gu Youxin could only walk to Xiao Yunzheng's left side.

"Auntie is here."

Gu Youxin was smiling and walked to Xiao Yunzheng's left, while her two palace maids went to the right.

"aunt!"

thump!

The two palace maids were still thinking about how to make Xianyu and several eunuchs fall without being noticed when a sound of falling into water was heard nearby.

The eldest prince fell into the water?
