Chapter 971 The Emperor Knows Xi Yan’s Identity
After leaving the palace, she could still do things for the empress, but she moved from the open to the secret.
You can also go and see Xiaobao secretly to see how he is doing after being adopted.
Chu Xiyan suddenly felt that life was full of hope again!
The queen is her benefactor!
"The longer you wait, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen. In this case, you should leave the palace tonight."
Having said that, Shen Zhinian looked at Xiao Mingzi and said, "Xiao Mingzi, I'll leave this matter to you."
In the imperial palace, it is naturally very difficult to secretly make a concubine fake her death and leave the palace.
But it was normal for a palace maid who was beaten with a stick to die.
Besides, Chu Xiyan’s presence in the harem has never been strong, so even if she died suddenly, it would not attract the attention of others.
Xiao Mingzi has a complicated feeling in her heart...
He originally thought that he could take care of Xiyan for a while longer, but he didn't expect that Xiyan would leave the palace so suddenly...
He is a eunuch. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have to serve in the palace for the rest of his life. Perhaps they will never meet again...
Somehow, at this moment, Xiao Mingzi felt a bit depressed...
But he did not show his emotions, and bowed his head and said, "Yes."
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly, then stood up and left.
Because Chu Xiyan would continue to work for her, and they were not saying goodbye forever today, so there was no need to say too much.
Xiao Mingzi glanced at Chu Xiyan obscurely, then retracted his gaze and said, "You are not feeling well. If you need to take anything out of the palace, I will pack it for you."
Chu Xiyan said subconsciously: "No need."
"Eunuch Ming, Xiyan has troubled you for a long time. I don't want to cause you any more trouble."
Xiao Mingzi said, "This one thing is not a big deal."
"Didn't you hear what the Queen said? Time is running out, so don't delay."
Chu Xiyan then nodded and told Xiao Mingzi what she needed.
Xiao Mingzi opened the bag and packed it for her.
Neither of them spoke any more, and the atmosphere in the room became a little dull for a moment...
However, Chu Xiyan was in a very cheerful mood.
Because she really doesn't want to have anything to do with the eldest princess anymore!
Now, if she can't afford to offend, she can afford to hide.
Soon, Xiao Mingzi packed up Chu Xiyan's things, put the package next to her and said, "Wait here first, I will make arrangements. When it gets dark, I will send you out of the palace."
Somehow, looking at Xiao Mingzi's leaving figure, Chu Xiyan felt a sense of reluctance in her heart...
When she met Eunuch Ming for the first time, she was being bullied by the nanny, and it was Eunuch Ming who stepped forward to help her out.
During the time he was in Zhongcui Palace, it was Eunuch Ming who took care of him.
Since losing her parents, Chu Xiyan hasn't felt this kind of warmth for a long time.
In her heart, Eunuch Ming is like her relative.
"Eunuch Ming..."
Chu Xiyan called Xiao Mingzi and said solemnly: "Thank you for taking care of Xiyan during this period! Xiyan will not be in the palace in the future, you must take good care of yourself!"
Xiao Mingzi didn't look back: "Well, I entered the palace when I was five years old. I ate more salt in the palace than you ate rice. Can't I take care of myself?"
After saying this, Xiao Mingzi shook his head and left without looking back.
But why are his eyes a little hot...
……
The ninth day of August.
The enthronement ceremony of Concubine Xuan.
The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department had already been preparing for this matter, and Shen Zhinian had also been keeping an eye on it.
All the processes today were carried out in an orderly manner without any mistakes.
Although the position of concubine is the main position of a palace and can be included in the imperial family's jade book, it is still inferior to the concubine, the fourth concubine, and the noble concubine.
Xuanpin's canonization ceremony did not have such a big impact in the palace. Except for Chengqian Palace, other places were the same as usual, and everyone performed their duties.
……
The eldest princess had always remembered that she would ask her father to compensate her sister Xiyan, so after breakfast, she prepared to go to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience.
Seeing the nannies taking the eldest princess away, Concubine Zhuang kindly said, "Run slowly, don't fall!"
The eldest princess smiled and waved her hand: "Don't worry, mother, Yun'er knows."
Soon, she arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with ease.
Seeing the eldest princess, Li Changde bowed and said, "Your servant greets the eldest princess!"
"Princess, why are you here at this time?"
The eldest princess said in a baby voice: "Yun'er is here to see father."
Li Changde discovered that the eldest princess seemed to have regained her former liveliness and agility since she was adopted by Concubine Zhuang.
It seems that your Majesty's actions are justified.
"Princess, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and inform you."
Li Changde entered the palace and said to Nangong Xuanyu, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess wants to see you."
Nangong Xuanyu still loved the eldest princess very much. Hearing this, he put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let her come in."
"Yes."
The eldest princess entered the palace and politely bowed to Nangong Xuanyu: "Yun'er greets father!"
Nangong Xuanyu looked at her gently: "What's the matter with you coming to see your father?"
Children who are spoiled are always confident.
The eldest princess was not shy at all and said calmly, "Yes. Yun'er came here today because she really wants your father's help with something!"
Nangong Xuanyu smiled and waved to the princess, "Oh?"
"Tell me, what is it? Why do you have to come in person to trouble me?"
The eldest princess walked up to Nangong Xuanyu, raised her little face and said, "Father, Yun'er wants you to help compensate Xiyan."
Nangong Xuanyu subconsciously wanted to ask, who is Xiyan?
He couldn't even remember all the concubines in the palace, let alone the palace maids?
But because Chu Xiyan was serving Shen Zhinian, Nangong Xuanyu finally remembered.
"...Are you talking about the maids in Concubine Chen's palace?"
"Why should Yun'er compensate her?"
The eldest princess lowered her head, looking very sad: "Father, mother did something wrong in the past. Xiyan...Xiyan's mother was Yun'er's former wet nurse, but she was beaten to death by mother..."
"Because of this incident, Xiyan has been unwilling to forgive mother, and is unwilling to continue to be friends with Yun'er."
"Father, can you give Xiyan some rewards, compensate her, and let her forget her hatred?"
"Yun'er really wants to continue to be good friends with Xiyan like before."
Although the eldest princess' words were a bit incoherent, Nangong Xuanyu was smart enough to understand her meaning.
The smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his eyes became dark.
But when Nangong Xuanyu spoke to the eldest princess, his tone was still normal, and she didn't hear anything wrong: "Yun'er said that Xiyan's mother was your wet nurse. After Liu beat her to death, Xiyan entered the palace."
"I don't know how she ended up serving you at Yongshou Palace, and gained your trust?"
