Chapter 47 Swordsman
Shen Sirong was injured and could not host this year's New Year's Eve banquet, so he had to return the power to Shufei. There was a period of busyness in the palace, and only the Moon Hall was very quiet and did not seem to receive any impact.
"Little ancestor, slow down."
A noise went from the gate of the Moon Hall to the front of Shen Sirong's door. She listened to the sound outside the door and sat up from the bed. Before the sound of pushing the door, a small figure pounced on Shen Sirong's bedside and fixed her eyes to see who Princess Lanxi was.
"Mother."
A pile of palace people behind him followed, including those in the Lanxi Palace and the Lanyue Hall.
"It's okay. I'll talk to Princess Lanxi. You can go down. The wet nurse, but prepare some snacks. When everyone came out of the bedroom, Lanxi's eyes widened and muttered, "Sister-in-law, I was stopped by the royal brother several times. Finally, he went out of the palace today, but your palace also stopped me." Lanxi sat on the edge of the collapse and said solemnly, "Well, stop me again, and I will show them some color."
Shen Sirong took Lanxi's hand with a faint smile and said, "I'm injured. I promised to teach you embroidery before, but I can only wait until after the Spring Festival."
Lanxi shook his little hand in a hurry, and his soft cheeks turned red: "Sister-in-law, please forgive me. That day, I just wanted to give my sister-in-law a long face, so I didn't really want to learn. I'd rather go to the martial arts field to learn archery.
Shen Sirong also fell in love with this little princess at this time. If she was still afraid of what she was thinking before, at this moment, it seemed that she was really like what Xiao Yuanqi said.
"Well, come to me whenever you want to learn." Shen Sirong coaxed with a soft voice.
Lanxi suddenly jumped down from the collapse and looked up and down seriously. Shen Sirong, who was awkwardly looked at by her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is the princess looking at?"
"Well... I'm looking at my sister-in-law, but you don't look like my mother and mother." Lanxi said and did not take back his eyes.
"Your mother? Queen Mother?"
It took Shen Sirong half a sound to understand who Lanxi was talking about. Immediately, the smile on her face darkened. She didn't know what Lanxi meant by saying this...
Lanxi looked at Shen Sirong's face change and knew that he had said something wrong.
"Fam, did Lanxi say anything wrong? Don't get me wrong, sister-in-law. Lanxi saw that the royal brother loved you very much, and his father also looked at you with new eyes, so Lanxi said that. Is the imperial sister-in-law angry?
She was young, but Lanxi spoke in a clear way, and Shen Sirong had no choice but to shake her head.
Outside the door, Xiao Yuanqi, who came back from doing business, finally couldn't help opening the door and coming in. Seeing that Shen Sirong's face was ugly and regardless of any affection, he asked the people in Lanxi Palace to take her away.
Lanxi could still act coquettishly in front of her father, but he was respectful and afraid of this brother, so he had to go out with his tail between his tail.
"My sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Lanxi apologized with a cry when he left.
Shen Sirong didn't know how to respond. When Xiao Yuanqi approached, she pulled her face and smiled at him.
"Listen to me."
Looking at her smile that was worse than crying, Xiao Yuanqi held her hand.
It turned out that Lanxi had never seen her mother since she was a child, but heard that her mother looked very similar to the deceased Empress Hui'an, so the emperor loved her very much. At first, Xiao Yuanqi didn't like this sister. As she grew older, his facial features became more and more similar to him, and then slowly allowed her to go in and out of the East Palace.
Xiao Ze has never had such obvious appreciation for people, even for Shufei, and Xiao Yuanqi is not a gentle man. Lanxi is young, and after reading these, he thinks that Shen Sirong is favored for this reason.
"So, don't blame her." After explaining, Xiao Yuanqi smiled at Shen Sirong.
"Do I look like that?" Shen Sirong was stubborn, and her rare daughter's posture was revealed, which made most of her cold.
Xiao Yuanqi held her in his arms with a smile: "When you get better, after I take you to see your mother, you will know by yourself."
The superficial harmony only exists in the Moon Hall. Shen Sirong's safe return makes many people unable to live in peace. Xiao Ze issued an order to investigate, and Xiao Yuanqi and Xiao Yuanfeng investigated the news in private.
Xiao Yuanqi asked someone to start with the dart, and Xiao Yuanfeng took the opportunity to go to Zilan Palace after taking a look at the dart.
Concubine Shu has been busy all day. At noon this day, as soon as she took a break, she came in to report that King Li was coming. Concubine Shu couldn't see her son for a while, so she was in a hurry to change clothes and groom.
When he entered the main hall, he saw Xiao Yuanfeng sitting, and his clear face was even harder because of his lack of smile, which made the atmosphere in Zilan Palace very depressing. Xiao Yuanfeng did not get up to salute as usual, but just sat down.
"If you don't go to the palace to see your mother and concubine these days, I don't know what you are busy with." Concubine Shu looked at Xiao Yuanfeng with a smile and love.
Xiao Yuanfeng raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Shu, and lowered his head: "I'm investigating the assassin. The assassin who stabbed the princess. Before Xiao Yuanfeng finished speaking, Shufei put down the teacup in her hand heavily.
"Why do you have such a temperament?" Shufei was also a little unhappy. She knew that Xiao Yuanfeng had feelings for Shen Sirong, but why did she leave her temper in Zilan Palace?
It seems that this Shen Sirong has too much influence on Xiao Yuanfeng. If this person is not removed, Xiao Yuanfeng will never be an ambitious superior.
"Mother, do you know this?" Xiao Yuanfeng took out a piece of paper with the shape of the dart on it, and he drew every subtle mark without any difference. Shufei knew it at a glance. She picked up the paper and blocked it in front of her face, and a streamer flashed in her eyes.
"It's just a dart. What did you draw?" Shufei whispered and lifted the words away.
"I remember that I once met him at my uncle's house."
Xiao Yuanfeng said slowly word by word, and his burning eyes wanted to look at Shufei's disguise thoroughly. Shufei didn't reply. She really didn't know how this dart had something to do with Shen Sirong's accident.
"I don't know about this." Shufei also had doubts. Looking at her son's questioning, Shufei's resentment against Shen Sirong deepened.
"Will the mother not know?"
Li Ge had been standing aside without making a sound. Seeing the tense atmosphere in the hall, she came forward and filled the teacup in front of them: "Your Majesty, the Empress really doesn't know about this. I can testify."
Xiao Yuanfeng looked at the silent Concubine, and the embarrassment in his eyes burned his heart. Li Ge's words also hurt Shufei: "If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. You don't have to be angry with me. Do you look like a son of man?"
Concubine Shu pushed away Li Ge, who was trying to maneuver, and looked straight at Xiao Yuanfeng. Under her eyes, the fierce fire spread.
