Chapter 840 - two-faced
The mother and son thought of the same thing at the same time.
They didn’t know that they were the ones who killed Princess Ling Yi in the Empress’s Palace, did they? if that was the case, did they want to settle the score with them today?
The Huai Prince, Xiao tianyao, was a little afraid of Xiao Jiuyuan, so when he heard that he was coming, he subconsciously felt a little uneasy. He quickly looked at Consort Shu and said,””Imperial mother, what should we do? They might know that I’m the one behind it. ”
Consort Shu had been in the palace for many years, so she was experienced and steady. She quickly calmed down and said.
“Don’t panic. Let’s take a look at their expressions first. If they’re here to question us, we’ll decide what to do. What if they’re just here to see you?”
After the mother and son agreed, Shu Fei waved her hand and asked the housekeeper to invite Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu over.
Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu soon came over. The expressions on their faces were gentle, and there was no hostility. Shu Fei and Huai Prince exchanged a glance.
It seemed that he was fine. They didn’t know that the assassins in the palace that night were related to them.
The two of them looked at each other, but they didn’t know that Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu had already noticed their expressions. The two of them pretended not to know and said one after another.
“This morning, I heard that His Highness Huai Prince was stabbed by an assassin. As his uncle, I should come and pay my respects.”
“What do you think, Your Highness Huai?”
Xiao Jiuyuan asked with concern.
Xiao tianyao was flattered. Why did the ninth Imperial uncle suddenly care about him?
He had a feeling that this was unreal.
Could it be that he was trying to curry favor with him because he had been doing well recently?
Xiao tianyao was a little proud.
At this time, he had completely forgotten that the former Xiao Jiuyuan had completely ignored the Crown Prince.
However, he had completely forgotten about all these things.
However, Xiao Jiuyuan said slowly,””His Highness Huai Prince has been getting more and more powerful recently. I feel that His Highness Huai Prince will rise to a higher level soon.”
These words seemed to have a hidden intention of currying favor.
Xiao tianyao could not help but smile.””I’m borrowing ninth Imperial uncle’s auspicious words. ”
Consort Shu was a little confused. Was Xiao Jiuyuan such an easy person to talk to? And would he please others?
Why did she feel that it was so strange?
Shu Fei was suspicious, but she didn’t show it on her face. She looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu with concern and said,””You’re about to get married, right? has the date been set?”
Xiao Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows happily and said slowly,””The date hasn’t been decided yet. Consort Shu should know that I’ve just returned from Phoenix Ridge, so I didn’t have time to have the Imperial astronomer monitor the auspicious date. However, it’ll only be in the next two days. I’ll go to the Imperial astronomer to discuss the date of the wedding.”
“Yes, I wish Prince Li and Princess Lingyi a happy marriage and a good life.”
Yun Qianyu quickly got up and thanked Consort Shu.
“Thank you, Consort Shu …”
As soon as Yun Qianyu spoke, Consort Shu noticed her. She reached out and pulled Yun Qianyu to her side, patted her hand and said,””Why are you thanking me? you’re the niece of my son. When you get married to Prince Li, I’ll definitely give you a big gift.”
“Many thanks, Consort Shu.”
Yun Qianyu sneered. She didn’t like this Empress. Previously, she was assassinated in Empress Chiang’s Palace, and this Empress probably knew about it.
Previously, she had also wanted to kill her. If she really treated her as her own niece, she would have wanted to kill her.
What a woman who didn’t mean what she said.
