Fu Jiuqu glanced at the child, slowly bent down, and stared straight into his eyes.

Sannian tiptoed to Fu Jiuqu's ear and said in a low voice: "That bad woman wants to harm my mother. Uncle Fu, you have to protect my mother..."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes, glanced at the child, turned his head and glanced inside and outside the mulberry field. Finally, his eyes fell coldly on Cao Yilan's face, and his expression darkened.

"Don't be afraid." He patted Xiao Sannian on the back, "As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Sannian pursed her lips, looked at Xin Yi's back, nodded, and took Fu Jiuqu's hand again, "It would be great if Uncle Fu could always be by my mother's side and ours."

Fu Jiuqu's arms were slightly tensed.

Neither spoke nor moved.

San Nian's voice was very small, just enough for him to hear.

At this time, Xin Yi asked the palace attendants to take down a pair of door panels, gently lay Zhang Guifei on it, and carry her into the inner hall for treatment. Before leaving, she looked back at San Nian, and then pointed towards Fu Jiuqu.

Give a signal.

Fu Jiuqu nodded.

Xin Yi smiled slightly and left quickly.

In full view of the public, the two people did not communicate verbally, and they were even a little far apart, but the tacit understanding between their eyes and body made Cao Yilan resentful.

"Why? Why should she?"

Gao Miao frowned when he heard her resentment and murmur.

"Why do the pigs raised in the inner garden come to the mulberry field?"

Cao Yilan watched Xin Yi go away without looking back, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Seeing that she was still looking anxious and angry, Gao Miao's face became a little more solemn than before.

"Lan'er, trouble comes from your mouth. From now on, be more honest, say less, and do less."

Cao Yilan looked at her without knowing why, and looked at each other for a moment. She immediately felt humiliated and looked at Gao Miao, "Could it be that you suspect that I let the pig out? What a joke, how is that possible? I have been in Sangtian with you.

Together."

"Of course I know it's not you. But what about others?"

Gao Miao and Cao Yilan grew up together, and they understand her character very well. The words Cao Yilan said when she was angry just now were originally out of anger. Even if she really wanted to take revenge on Xin Yi, she would not choose it.

During the silkworm kissing ceremony, he destroyed Empress Cao's etiquette...

She is ignorant.

But not so ignorant.

However, she was not the only one who heard what she just said out of jealousy over Fu Jiuqu.

Gao Miao's thoughts about the twists and turns in the palace were far more complicated than Cao Yilan's, and she was afraid that Cao Yilan would cause trouble...

"Prince." Duan Sui ran over in a hurry, walked to Fu Jiuqu's side, and raised his hand to him.

"The wooden fence of the pig pen was cut by someone, and the pigs broke through the broken fence and ran out."

There are people in the palace who specialize in raising pigs.

However, today was Empress Cao's wedding ceremony, and many people came to the inner garden, including not only princes and ministers, wives of domestic and foreign ministers, but also foreign envoys. In order to prevent the pig farmers from bumping into the nobles, they were ordered to stay in the pig farm.

inside and did not come out.

When the pigs ran away, everyone in the pig farm was there, and everyone could testify that the pig pen was closed and no one sawed the wood of the pig pen.

Who sawed the wood?

Fat pigs don't turn over in circles for no reason, it's clearly done by someone.

"You really don't want to calm down." Fu Jiuqu snorted coldly. He saw two women not far away looking at him uneasily. They talked about it from time to time. He frowned and turned his head to tell Sun Huai.

"Go and bring those two women over."

Sun Huai looked back and said, "This..."

In the Forbidden Garden, in addition to the palace maids, there are also girls from various noble families. It seems a little inappropriate to call them forward like this?

"Go if I tell you to." Fu Jiuqu scolded him coldly, and Sun Huai responded with a smile.

The two women walked over nervously, holding embroidered silk in their hands. They carefully walked around the blood stains when the fat pig died, walked up to Fu Jiuqu, and saluted in unison.

"I have met the Prince of Guangling County."

Their voices were soft and their faces were shy. In front of Fu Jiuqu, the two women's eyes could not find their focus. They were both afraid and shy, and their heartbeats could not help but accelerate and pound.

"I wonder what the prince's instructions are when he calls the little girl here?"

"What were you talking about just now?" Fu Jiuqu's voice was cold and indifferent, without any warmth, but it made the two girls feel panicked, their cheeks were hot, and they became nervous when they spoke.

"We, we said...no and didn't say anything..."

"Say!" Fu Jiuqu said in a deep voice and glanced coldly.

The two women were startled when they saw this and immediately lowered their heads.

"We, we are talking about what happened just now when Miss Cao got angry and said she wanted to take revenge on Miss Zhang..."

In the middle hall of the inner garden, Xin Yi was half-sitting on the edge of the bed, struggling to feed Zhang Guifei some decoction. A palace maid sat beside him to help, and kept crying.

"Madam, please wake up quickly."

"Madam, please don't sleep anymore."

"My lady, oh, oh, oh... don't die... If you die, I will go with you..."

Xin Yi was very annoyed when he heard her sobbing like mourning. He glanced up and was about to say something to her when footsteps came from the door.

The servants all bowed to greet the official and the saint.

Xin Yi stopped talking and saw that the emperor and the queen were coming. He stood up and saluted, but Zhao Guanjia raised his hand to stop them.

He walked to the bed in two or two steps, sat down next to Concubine Zhang, grabbed her hand, squeezed it tightly, and then asked dumbly.

"How is the imperial concubine?"

Before Xin Yi could speak, Concubine Zhang's personal maid wiped away her tears and started talking.

"Our lady has a severe fever, and she was talking nonsense just now. She has been calling the officials, officials, asking them to save her life and avenge her..."

"revenge?"

"...Guan family, this is obviously someone deliberately harming our wife."

This little maid is Zhang Guifei's confidant, and she always looks after Zhang Guifei.

Even now, she still hasn't forgotten to protect Concubine Zhang and attack her love rivals. Xin Yi feels that with her methods, she might be a bit better than Zhang Xueyi.

However, it was true that Zhang Xue also had a fever, but she never woke up and never called "Guan Jia" at all.

But Xin Yi could not deny it in public.

Because that's what the emperor wants to hear.

Zhao Zhen was indeed moved, with a lump in his throat. Looking at Concubine Zhang's cheeks reddened and her eyes closed tightly, he raised his hand to touch her forehead in pain, and then turned back to look at Xin Yi.

"Where is the imperial concubine injured? Is it serious?"

Xin Yi's heart thumped, and he was silent for a moment before bowing his head.

"Please forgive the innocent woman from the government..."

Zhao Zhen looked at her coldly, "What did you say?"

His tone was gloomy, as if there was a hint of anger.

When Empress Cao saw this, she coughed lightly, jumped in front of Zhao Zhen, and scolded Xin Yi.

"Mrs. Zhang, what's going on? If you have anything to say, just tell the officials the truth. It was the pigs in the pigsty who hurt the imperial concubine, not you. Are you afraid that the officials will punish you for this?"

Zhao Zhen's expression changed at a visible speed, making him very ugly.
