Chapter 233: Just to ask her father why he killed her and her daughter
The maid was stunned for a moment, but soon snorted with disdain, "What does the prince mean? Could it be that the prince ordered this servant to act like this in the palace?"
However, Xiao Hezhi didn't give her the slightest bit of face. He didn't know when a copper coin appeared in his hand. He flicked his finger and the coin went straight to Nanny Gui's forehead.
Then a scream of "Ah" was heard, and Nanny Gui's forehead turned red in an instant.
The two maids behind her rushed to help her, shouting, "Mammy, Mammy, what's wrong?"
Xiao Hezhi laughed out loud, "A good dog doesn't block the road. Today, I am in a good mood, so I will spare you, you dog slave! If you dare to speak nonsense in front of me again next time, even if you are an old man in the palace, I will never appreciate it."
After that, he said to the driver, "Keep going, don't waste time."
Lan Zhu didn't expect that the prince would be so decisive and efficient without any delay.
I stared in amazement.
Xiao Hezhi gathered his sleeves and said, "Why? Do you think that I am more suitable for your wife than your Shaoqing?"
"..." Lan Zhu immediately twitched her lips, "Please be careful with your words, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Hezhi closed his eyes again with a smile.
The carriage continued to move forward until it reached the gate of the inner palace where it could no longer move.
The two of them got out of the car.
Xiao Hezhi hurriedly ran towards the imperial study.
Lan Zhu didn't follow.
According to palace rules, the servants can only follow this far.
Xiao Suozhong always had a regular schedule. At this moment, he was either reading memorials in the imperial study or discussing matters with ministers in the court.
Xiao Hezhi ran to the front of the hall and was stopped by the guards at the door.
He nodded and smiled, "This King understands."
Then he shouted at the tightly closed door, "Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you!"
Xiao Suo, who was just about to correct his subordinate's memorials with ink, was stunned and looked at Yu Zi who was serving him.
Yu Zi nodded and saluted, "Your Majesty, it's Prince He."
Xiao Suozhong naturally knew that his son had become estranged from him since the death of Concubine Yun.
Over the years, except for major festivals when he would return to the palace to show his face, the rest of the time he seemed to have disappeared.
I don't know what kind of wind brought him here today.
"Father! I have something important to ask you!"
There was another commotion at the door.
He put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and nodded.
Yu Zi received the signal and cleared his throat and shouted, "Prince Xuanhe is here to see you."
As soon as Xiao Hezhi entered the imperial study, he walked to the imperial desk, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, please dismiss the attendants. I have something important to report to you."
Xiao Suo glanced at Yu Zi.
Yu Zi bowed, left the imperial study, and closed the door.
"What's the matter? Get up and answer." Xiao Suozhong said.
Only then did Xiao Hezhi take out the photo from his arms, stood up and handed it to Xiao Suozhong.
The photo still had some warmth in it, and the moment Xiao Suozhong received it in his hands, he was stunned.
His hands were shaking, and even his voice was trembling, "She, where is she?"
Xiao Hezhi shook his head, "I don't know, I heard it's in a very far place."
The voice in the desolate state trembled even more, "Where did this thing come from?"
Xiao Hezhi stretched out his hand and pointed at the girl in the photo who had a serious expression and a smile in her eyes. "It's her. She was given to me just now."
"Where is he now? Take me to see him!"
Xiao Suozhong excitedly grabbed Xiao Hezhi's wrist.
The force was a bit too strong, causing Xiao Hezhi to cry out in pain.
Seeing this, Xiao Suozhong quickly let go of his hand.
Xiao Hezhi took the opportunity and knelt down to salute, "Please forgive me, father. There is one thing that I have kept secret from you for several years. Now that things have come to this, if I don't tell you, I will be ashamed of my mother and my sister!"
"..." Xiao Suozhong almost couldn't stand still, staring at the exit, "Sister?"
Xiao Hezhi kowtowed and didn't dare to look up!
But he spoke slowly, and every word hit the desolate heart.
"That year, when my mother was banished to the cold palace by my father, she was already two months pregnant."
"Tom—"
There was a dull thud, as Xiao Suo lost his balance and hit the corner of the imperial desk.
"Father!" Xiao Hezhi screamed in a low voice!
Xiao Suozhong waved his hand, "Go on."
Xiao Hezhi watched him rubbing his hips, narrowed his eyes, and continued, "Just now, a lady from the Fifth Shaoqing's residence came to my house and said that her name was Shen Qingqian and that she was my sister."
"Shen Qingqian..."
It was the miracle doctor who saved Ce'er...
Xiao Suozhong remembered that he felt like he had seen her before the first time he saw her.
How different was the silhouette under the black veil from when he first met Shen Yun?
"Yes. Her surname is also Shen, following her mother's surname." Xiao Hezhi said, "She said that after her mother escaped from the cold palace, she returned to her original country and gave birth to her."
Xiao Hezhi paused, thought it through, and then continued, "She came all the way to Nancy to find her father, just to ask her father why he killed her and her daughter..."
The hand under the yellow robe's sleeve gradually clenched into a fist in the desolate state. As Xiao Hezhi's voice became softer and softer, he closed his eyes in sorrow and said, "I am sorry for them..."
Xiao Hezhi pursed his lips and continued, "Sister, you came to my house today because you have something important for me to report to my father."
When Xiao Suozhong heard this, he was suddenly stunned and asked anxiously, "But your mother?"
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much," Xiao Hezhi said, "It has nothing to do with Mother. It's the Fifth Junior Minister. My sister said that the Fifth Junior Minister seemed to have found some clues about the Changning Marquis' Mansion. When she heard that this matter involved Your Majesty, she ordered me to tell Your Majesty that it would be best for Your Majesty to be careful."
"Is it related to me?" Xiao Suo's brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
Xiao Hezhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's what my sister said. But there is one thing I don't know whether I should say it or not."
He glanced at Xiao Suo, "You can say whatever you want."
Xiao Hezhi bowed his head and said, "I just entered the palace and accidentally bumped into Aunt Gui in the Royal Mother's palace. It seems that she said that she should wait for the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards to bring my sister to the palace to diagnose the Royal Mother. I am afraid that the Royal Mother has already known something. If the emperor wants to help my sister, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible!"
"Boom-"
Xiao Suo punched the table! His eyes trembled several times!
Yu Zi, who was guarding outside the door, was originally drowsy from the scorching sun, but when he heard the noise in the house, he was instantly perked up.
He looked at the gatekeepers in confusion. He wanted to break in but was not given the permission. He didn't dare and was very nervous!
After a few breaths, the emperor shouted from inside the room, "Yu Zi, enter the palace!"
As soon as he received the order, Yu Zi broke into the room in an instant.
The emperor wrote an imperial edict with his own hand, stamped with the imperial seal and the private seal of Emperor Shunyi, and handed it to him, "Go to the Fifth Shaoqing Mansion immediately to convey the order to Shen Qingqian, the daughter of the Shen family!"
"Yes."
After Yu Zi received the order, he heard the emperor say, "You go in person! Go immediately! On your way out of the palace, patrol along the way. If you see the imperial guards arresting a woman, immediately pass on my order to investigate and find out if it is Miss Shen!"
Yu Zi was stunned for a few breaths, but quickly came back to his senses, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"
