Chapter 183 Opportunity
Chapter 183 Opportunity
"Why does the Crown Princess take on such a difficult matter? What if the young prince doesn't go back with us when the time comes?" Lingzhi asked in Hu Shanxiang's ear after coming out.
"Why give up on something that hasn't been done yet?" Hu Shanxiang had thought about this, but it would be more difficult if the Crown Princess came.
Fortunately, they were close, and in just a few steps Hu Shanxiang arrived at the palace gate of Concubine Guo.
"You stand here, I'll go over there." Hu Shanxiang ordered.
"Yes."
"Zhan Kai, I finally found you. Why did you come here alone?" Hu Shanxiang walked over, squatted down and talked to him.
Zhu Zhankai saw that it was Hu Shanxiang who came over, "Sister-in-law."
Hu Shanxiang looked at his face with traces of tears on it and said, "What's wrong? Go and talk to your sister-in-law. Did someone bully you?"
"No, no one bullied me. I suddenly missed my mother, so I wanted to come and see her. Sister-in-law, my father said that my mother was sick and couldn't see me. Is that true?" Zhu Zhanjie asked.
Hu Shanxiang touched his head and asked, "Do you think your father would lie to you?"
Zhu Zhankai shook his head. His father had never lied to him.
"That's it. If she can't, then Madam Guo is ill. When she gets better, she can come and see us."
"But why did someone tell me that my mother was locked up by my father, not that she was sick?" Zhu Zhankai asked again.
Hu Shanxiang thought that was true, but she didn't change her expression. "Did anyone tell you that? Who told you that?"
"Did I promise not to tell anyone?" Zhu Zhankai shook his head.
"Is that so? Then I won't ask anymore. But how do you know that person is telling the truth? So, you go back with me first. You see, your father is not in the palace today, and you can't get in. Let's talk about it when your father comes back tomorrow, okay?" Hu Shanxiang did not ask any more questions.
Zhu Zhankai also knew that he really couldn't get in, but he was still stubborn and didn't want to leave, and kept staring at the door.
"If Zhan Kai wants to stay here for a while, then sister-in-law can stay with you for a while."
Zhu Zhankai thought Hu Shanxiang would take him away by force like those people, but he didn't expect that she would actually wait with him. No matter what, his sister-in-law had always been very nice to him, and he really couldn't lose his temper.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back." Zhu Zhankai said, pulling her sleeve.
"Okay." Hu Shanxiang stood up and took him back.
Zhu Zhankai remembered that the aunt beside the Crown Princess came to look for him just now, and he stubbornly did not leave, "Sister-in-law, just now the Crown Princess..."
"It's my sister-in-law's fault. The palace servants told me that you were missing, and I couldn't find you anywhere, so I went to the Crown Princess in a hurry. If I had known that you were missing mother, I would have..."
"No, it's my fault. I made my sister-in-law worry." Zhu Zhankai said seriously.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to talk to the Crown Princess later, don't be afraid."
Zhu Zhankai nodded.
"Meet the Crown Princess." The two came back together.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Zhanzhai, don't disappear suddenly like this next time. You don't know how worried your sister-in-law is." The Crown Princess said to him.
"Zhankai knows." Zhu Zhankai said sullenly with his head down.
"Okay, you're tired after all this time. Go back with your sister-in-law." The Crown Princess didn't make things difficult for him.
"My son, please retire."
"Her Majesty let them go without asking any questions. It's obvious that someone instigated Young Prince Zhankai to do this." Yun Jin said from the side.
"How could I not know what you have seen? I know it is those people without asking. It's just one of those people who are good friends with Guo. Why ask a child?" How could the Crown Princess not know.
"What does the Queen mean?" Yun Jin heard the Crown Princess say this, thinking that she must have a solution.
"Ms. Guo has been punished long enough this time. It's almost time for her to be released. I can still do her a favor."
"The Queen wants to let her out, but we finally managed to..."
"Compared to her, whose thoughts are written all over her face, the incomprehensible Qingluan is the real problem. After being locked up for so long, Guo shouldn't be so impatient. She shouldn't lose her composure all of a sudden. By the way, how is Qingluan doing recently?"
"It seems that there is no movement. He has been staying in the room and has hardly gone out."
"After making such a big fuss before, she now knows to keep a low profile. She used all her tricks to stay by the prince's side in the beginning. It's impossible for her to just stay in the room and do nothing. We still need to keep a close eye on her."
"Yes, by the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet will be held in two months. The Imperial Concubine asked you to help prepare it yesterday."
"Mid-Autumn family dinner, this is an opportunity." The Crown Princess was originally thinking about how to talk to the Crown Prince about releasing Guo. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?
"What opportunity?" Yun Jin wondered.
"This is a great opportunity. I'm afraid many people will take action. Let's see who has the ability to do it."
Yunjin was confused by what she heard.
Hu Shanxiang brought Zhu Zhankai back to Qingyun Palace. "You didn't take a nap today, so you will definitely feel sleepy soon. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Hu Shanxiang asked.
Zhu Zhankai nodded.
This time, the palace servants followed closely and did not dare to leave for a moment.
"Princess Crown Prince, who on earth is gossiping about the young prince?"
Hu Shanxiang shook her head. "But we can't guess. The Crown Princess must know."
Hu Shanxiang always remembered Zhu Zhanji's words, telling her not to get involved in the Crown Princess's affairs. She could not handle the harem struggles. She was once again thankful that there were not many people in Zhu Zhanji's backyard, otherwise, someone with her brain would not survive more than two episodes in the palace.
"Will your highness be back tomorrow?"
"There is still no news at this hour, it should be." Lingzhi looked at the sky.
