ss Xiao Er is indeed here meeting with someone privately!" The leading palace maid, Qing'er, wore a proud expression, as if she had everything under control."No! Our young lady wouldn't..." Qing Luo w..."You!" Granny Qin slapped the table in anger and stood up, as if about to unleash her fury.

"Grandmother Qin." Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Yuge had already changed her clothes and walked out. She saw Grandmother Qin and Feng Yanniang's hidden gunpowder, and she seemed to understand something.

"Miss Xiao, since you're alright, please go ahead." In front of Xiao Yuge, Qinyin still didn't dare to be presumptuous. She just glared fiercely at Feng Yanniang before leaving with Xiao Yuge together.

Feng Yanniang looked at their departing figures and snorted: "What kind of people are they, just an older palace maid They said she was fat and even complained about her breathing! Hmph! If they want to drink, let them. I'll drink my own!" Having said that, she downed the cup of tea that had just been given to Qinyin Mama in one gulp.

Turning her head, she saw Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu giggling there. She frowned and cleared her throat, "What are you looking at Get to work! Do you want to be docked pay"

"Alright, master, we'll go right away!" Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu's faces changed, they quickly flew out of there. Angering the master wasn't a wise move, they might not get their reward this month.

It is said that Xiao Yu Ge, following her qin mama, quickly arrived at Shou Kang Palace. As soon as she stepped inside, she immediately sensed something was amiss. The empress dowager's face remained as cold as ever, but the court ladies around her seemed strangely off.

"The common woman pays her respects to the Empress Dowager!" Xiao Yuge still respectfully performed a kneeling bow.

The Empress Dowager merely glanced at her, before finally uttering a single sentence: "From now on, we are family. There's no need for formalities, stand up."

“Greetings, Empress Dowager!” Xiao YuGe rose while muttering to herself: Judging by the Empress Dowager’s tone of voice, did she agree to her marriage with Qian TingXuan It couldn’t be true, before she vehemently opposed it. Could today mark a day when the sun rises in the west

“Two days ago, Xuan’er went to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to request a marriage with you. This child is stubborn once he sets his mind on something. Since he has decided, he will go all out. As he grows older, I can’t control him anymore. Since you both love each other, I can’t stop your love story or break up this pair of lovers. So today, I summoned you into the palace to discuss your marriage. There are some things that I need to explain to you clearly...”

Before she could finish speaking, the Empress Dowager began to cough again.

"Empress Dowager..." Xiao Yuge didn't know what the Empress Dowager wanted, but seeing her cough so violently, she was a little worried. After all, the Empress Dowager's life was connected to Qian Tingxuan's.

"It's alright." The Empress Dowager stopped her from approaching, instead allowing Qin Mama to pat her back. She finally calmed down and continued, "Yesterday, Xuan'er and Princess Minrou were here chatting with me until late. So they stayed here for the night. They haven't gotten up yet. Perhaps after I went to rest last night, they chatted for a while longer with Princess Minrou. As you know, they grew up together, their feelings are incomparable to outsiders."

Xiao Yu Ge frowned secretly, Qian Ting Xuan rested here last night Are you sure Last night, he went straight to her bed as soon as it got dark and hugged her until dawn before leaving. He didn't even leave in the middle, that hand was like it was glued to her, couldn't pull it away, could he have a split personality

She knew the Empress Dowager must have a reason for saying that, so she didn't expose her. Let them perform, she thought. She'd just watch as if it were a play.

"Empress Dowager, something's wrong..." Just then, Fang Minrou's personal maid, Xiao Wan, rushed in with a panicked expression. However, when she saw Xiao Yuge was also present, she seemed to hesitate, her words caught in her throat, as if wanting to speak but unable to.

The Empress Dowager spoke in a low voice, "Bold! Don't you see that I have guests here To be so reckless is unbecoming! Speak! What is causing such panic" That voice did not sound like someone near death.

Xiaowan quickly glanced at Xiao Yuge after which she lowered her head and whispered, "This servant just saw that the County Master didn't get up for a long time, so I pushed the door open to wake her up, but unexpectedly..." At this point, she showed an expression of being startled.

"What did you see" The Empress Dowager questioned with displeasure.

"I saw that Lord Wang and the noble lady were actually lying together..."

"What" The Empress Dowager rose abruptly, and this time, she seemed quite alert, quickly glancing at Xiao Yu Ge to see her reaction.

Xiao Yu Ge secretly sneered, so they were waiting here. Well, she'd play along with them. Putting on a surprised expression, she pressed Xia Wan, "What do you mean"

Little Wan seemed startled and took a step back: “Last night, the County Princess said that she and the Prince hadn't chatted this happily in ages, so, she wanted some wine. I went to get it. Later, the Prince asked me to leave first, then...”

This was really well said, Xiao Yuge even admired her acting skills, she almost caught up with hers.

“Xuan’er is about to get married, how could he be so foolish!” The Empress Dowager seemed exasperated, supported by Qín Ma Ma as she hurried out. She didn't look like someone who was about to pass away at all. It seemed that for Fang Mínróu, she truly was willing to do anything.

Xiao Yuge pretended to be skeptical and hurried after them.

When they pushed open Fan Minrou's room, they saw Qian Tingxuan and Fan Minrou lying on the bed. However, Qian Tingxuan's clothes were neat, only Fan Minrou's clothes were spread out.

Xiao Yu's song lightly sniffed, intoxicating fragrance Hmm! A bit of means, but unfortunately...

"Xuan'er, you all, you all..." The Empress Dowager chopped her cane on the ground a few times, also startling the person on the bed awake.

"Mother" Qianting Xuan rubbed his forehead and sat up, realizing something was wrong. He quickly jumped off the bed and saw Ge'er was there too. The two exchanged glances, and he seemed nervously explained to Ge'er: "Ge'er, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think, we...we didn't do anything..."

At that moment, Fang Minrou on the bed seemed to have just woken up. Seeing the Empress Dowager, she was also frightened and hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself, but still exposed her bare shoulders: "Empress Dowager, we..."

"What a disgrace! Put on your clothes properly and come to the main hall!" The Empress Dowager bit her lip tightly, then let Qin MaMa help her back into the palace. Except for Qin MaMa, all the other maidservants stepped out.

Xiao Yu's song also angrily turned her head and left.

"Ge'er!" Qian Tingxuan anxiously followed behind, trying to explain repeatedly: "It's not what you saw. There's nothing between me and her, believe me."

"How can I believe you, when you've been lying with her" Xiao Yu Ge pinched herself secretly and managed to squeeze out two tears. This kind of situation, she, the victim, had to cry a bit, otherwise it would be too fake.dary woman in black"I was born in an unlucky year and month."
