Scheme of the Official Descendant

After the letter was sent, Ren Yaoqi waited for news in the other courtyard, but she waited from morning to afternoon until it was dark that there was still no news from the Yanbei Palace, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but become more worried.

"Miss, it's heavy on the outside, let's go back to the house, be careful not to catch the cold." Mulberry put a thick quilted dark red cloak on Ren Yaoqi's shoulders, and whispered.

Ren Yaoqi always felt bored in the house. After practicing the sword, he stood under the veranda outside for a long time. He didn't think before that, after a long time without moving, it was really cold by Mulberry, so he nodded.

At this time, there was a sound of flapping wings from an old locust tree branch in the yard, and the woman in the yard was surprised: "Huh? How come there are crows? This is really unlucky."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning.

Mulberry noticed it and slapped the woman lightly, "What nonsense? It's not a strange bird. You can see one or two in the winter, it's a fuss!"

The woman knew that the mansion was taboo to say unlucky things in front of her master, so she quickly chuckled her mouth and said with a smile: "Miss atones, the slave and maid owe you, nonsense, don't mind."

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, the anxiety in his heart became more obvious.

Early the next morning, Ren Yaoqi asked the people below to prepare a carriage, and she was going to visit the princess in Yanbei Palace.

I don't know why, she is always a little uneasy. Although she knows that Princess Yanbei may not have the time to meet her at this time, she still wants to take a look. Even she herself doesn't know where this uneasiness comes from.

It was because he was worried about the situation in Ningxia, worried that the Zeng family would come to Yanbei, worried that the Ren family colluded with Fang Yacun's own house, or simply worried about Xiao Jingxi's safety at the moment.

As soon as he entered the Yanbei Palace, Ren Yaoqi felt that something was wrong. She couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, just as if the faces of the maids and maids who were walking on the road became serious.

When Ren Yaoqi came to Jiuyang Temple, she did not see Princess Yanbei, she was received by Mother Xin.

Madam Xin asked Ren Yaoqi to sit down and asked the maidservant to serve her tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Ren Wu sits for a while. The princess has just gone to visit the old princess, and the maidservant asked to report that you are here."

Madam Xin has been very friendly to Mrs. Xu since she saw Ren Yaoqi rescued her last time. In addition to the relationship between Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, every time Ren Yaoqi comes to Yanbei Palace, she will tell the people next to her to greet her. .

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said: "I don't have anything important. Today, I came to the palace to greet the princess. If the princess is busy with something, it is better not to disturb her."

Madam Xin said: "The old princess is ill, the doctor is getting her pulse, and the princess is guarding her."

"The old princess is fine, isn't she?" Ren Yaoqi cared just right.

Madam Xin sighed: "It's not about Wu Zongbing. Madam Wu is still young."

Wu Xiaohe died violently, and Xiao Wei became a widow and a childless widow. It is no wonder that the old princess would be ill.

However, Ren Yaoqi felt that Mother Xin had a touch of worry in her eyes, but from the perspective of the relationship between the princess and the old princess, Mother Xin might not be worried about the situation of Wei Xiao's mother and daughter.

Is there something else?

Ren Yaoqi sat in the side hall of the Jiuyang Temple for a while, talked with Madam Xin for a while, and deliberately or unconsciously heard that Xiao Jingxi had not come back.

The princess never came back, and Ren Yaoqi was not happy to stay on her own for too long. After a cup of tea was taken in, he planned to leave first.

Don't want to wait for her to leave, the princess sent a maid Sujin over there.

"Miss Ren Wu, the princess asks you to stay a while, she will be back soon. And it is almost noon now, princess asks you to stay at the house for dinner." Su Jin smiled and said to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at the sky outside. She came early today and didn't sit for long in the palace. It was still early before lunch at noon.

However, Su Jin's remarks are just a rhetoric for staying guests. Ren Yaoqi will naturally not be true to her. What she is more curious about is what the princess will do to keep her.

It’s not that the princess never left her for dinner, but that was when Xiao Jinglin was still in the Yanbei Palace, she and Xiao Jinglin ate together. After Xiao Jinglin left, she rarely came to the Yanbei Palace, and the princess had many things every day. Even if she came, she might not be able to see her.

And now it must have been intentional to leave her for dinner.

Ren Yaoqi waited for about a cup of tea in the side hall of Jiuyang Hall before the princess came back from the old princess.

Seeing that the princess was coming, Ren Yaoqi hurriedly got up to bow. She was supported by the princess's hand. The princess smiled cordially and said: "Have you been waiting for a long time? Sit down, no outsiders don't have to be formal."

Ren Yaoqi first helped the princess to the seat, and then sat down and smiled: "It didn't take long for Mother Xin and several sisters to speak with me."

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.

Madam Xin smiled and said, "Miss Ren Wu likes the cat that the maidservant raises, and the maidservant chatted with her for a while."

Then Mother Xin picked up some interesting things about "Bai Xue", which made everyone couldn't help but laugh. Ren Yaoqi secretly paid attention to the look of the princess, but he couldn't see anything, so he couldn't guess the princess's true intentions.

After some joking, the princess told Mother Xin to say: "You take people to the kitchen to see, and tell you not to bring food to you today, and stay in Jiuyang Hall for dinner during the Yao period, just follow Lin'er's example when she was at home. The dishes are more refreshing."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but say: "The princess is eating fast?" When she used to dine with Xiao Jinglin, she didn't notice that the princess was eating fast.

I don’t want Mother Xin to say: “The princess has eaten fast for more than ten years. Only when the princess stays in the Jiuyang Hall to eat, the princess will tell the kitchen to bring meat dishes, but the princess herself only uses vegetarian dishes.”

Xiao Jinglin likes to eat. When she is there, she usually sets up a table of delicious dishes. Some because the princess requires high-quality food, and it is not even clear whether it is meat or vegetarian. Ren Yaoqi and the princess have eaten a few times. , Noticed that she used it very little, only when she had a bad appetite.

Mother Xin retreated and took all the maids in the temple, leaving only Su Jin and Qi Luo.

Ren Yaoqi knew that the princess was going to talk to her about business.

Sure enough, the princess got up and said to Ren Yaoqi: "You come with me." Then, the princess walked to the inner hall.

Ren Yaoqi didn't ask much, got up and followed her.

Ren Yaoqi, the inner hall of the Nine Sun Palace, had also visited Xiao Jinglin before. This is where the princess rests on weekdays. Generally, it does not receive foreign visitors, but only some close people.

The princess beckoned Ren Yaoqi to sit down with her before saying to Sujin and Qiluo: "You also go out first, don't let people come in without my instructions."

Sujing and Qiluo also withdrew.

Seeing that only her and the princess were left in the inner hall, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but become more curious.

The princess looked at her and smiled, and said, "I have eaten a fast for more than ten years. Do you know why?"

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "Does the princess have a relationship with the Buddha?" Ren Yaoqi is naturally nonsense, but this is the safest statement.

The princess shook her head and sighed, "No. Actually, I didn't believe in Buddha when I was your age. I even felt funny when I saw the elders in my family kneel to the Buddha Hall and beg the Buddha for blessing."

Ren Yaoqi didn't interrupt, she knew she didn't need to interrupt at this time.

"Later I gave birth to Jingxi, and he...he was in poor health. After several doctors' consultations, he said he couldn't live anymore. After hearing this, I cried to death, but there was nothing I could do. At that time, I thought of asking. Buddha bless."

Although the princess’s voice was faint, but with a soft firmness: "I make a wish to the Buddha, if Jingxi can live well, I am willing to devote myself to the Buddha from now on. I will not kill or do bad things in this life and be a vegetarian. ."

Having said this, the princess smiled and looked at Ren Yaoqi and said: "My Buddha is really compassionate, and Jingxi finally survived."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being silent when she heard it. She had rarely seen the scene of the princess and Xiao Jingxi getting along before, and the one or two she occasionally saw the mother and son did not speak and act too intimately in front of others. Both the princess and Xiao Jingxi are serious people, and neither show their emotions. The princess cares about Xiao Jinglin so much because Xiao Jinglin is a daughter.

Now that he heard what the princess said, Ren Yaoqi understood that the princess might not be as concerned about Xiao Jingxi as he did for Xiao Jinglin. It's just that the way of raising a son is different from raising a daughter.

The princess sighed, and the worry in her eyes never concealed, "Jingxi, he disappeared on the way back to Yanbei. The Yanbei Prince's Mansion sent several passers-by to look for it but couldn't find it. There is no news yet.

Ren Yaoqi was shocked when he heard the words: "My father said that Young Master Xiao was with people when he was separated from them, and those people disappeared together?" Ren Yaoqi knew that those people were excellent martial arts masters. Not to mention there are people who follow in the dark to protect secretly.

The princess sighed: "Only a few corpses were found, and the horses of the Yanbei Palace, and the rest of the people including the carriages were gone, and they couldn't be found."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning, and she didn't have time to think about why the princess would stay her here to tell her this. She is also very worried about Xiao Jingxi's safety.

Before Xiao Jingxi didn't reply to her letter, she still wondered if she didn't come back to Yunyang City because of her bad appearance, but now the princess said that even the people sent by Yanbei Palace have no news about Xiao Jingxi. Yaoqi also felt bad.

Could the assassins succeed this time, Xiao Jingxi has already...

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but shook his head.

No, Xiao Jingxi will not die so easily.

Although the people in the palace did not find Xiao Jingxi's person, they did not find his body, did they?
