After the letter was sent, Ren Yaoqi was waiting for news in the other courtyard. However, from the morning until the afternoon, there was still no news from Yanbei palace. Ren Yaoqi could not help but feel more worried.

"Miss, there's a heavy exposure outside. You'd better go back to the room and be careful not to catch cold." Mulberry put a heavy red cloak with cotton on Ren Yao's shoulder and whispered.

Ren Yaoqi always felt that the room was stuffy. After practicing the sword, he stood under the veranda outside for a long time. Before that, he did not feel that he had moved for a long time. It was really cold to be said by the mulberry tree, so he nodded.

At this time, an old locust tree branch in the yard made a sound of wing shaking. The woman in the yard said in surprise, "eh? How can there be crows? It's really bad luck

Ren Yao couldn't help frowning.

Mulberry noticed and rebuked the woman: "what's the nonsense? It's not a strange bird. You can see one or two in the winter. It's a big surprise

The woman knew that the big house was taboo to say unlucky words in front of the master, so she slapped her mouth and said with a smile: "Miss, atonement, I owe you this. You don't mind talking nonsense."

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, his uneasiness became more and more obvious.

The next morning, Ren Yaoqi asked the people below to prepare the carriage. She was going to visit the princess in Yanbei palace.

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

Is it because they are worried about the situation in Ningxia, that Zeng's family will come to Yanbei, that Fang yacun's house will be implicated by Ren's collusion, or is Xiao Jingxi's safety at the moment.

As soon as she entered the Yanbei palace, Ren Yaoqi felt something wrong. She couldn't tell for a moment what was wrong. She just seemed to be in awe of the women and servants walking on the road.

Ren Yaoqi didn't see Princess Yanbei when he came to Jiuyang hall. It was mother Xin who received her.

Mother Xin asked Ren Yaoqi to sit down and asked her maid to serve her tea. She said with a smile, "Miss Ren, please sit for a moment. The princess has just visited the old princess. The maid has sent someone to report that you are here."

Mother Xin has been very friendly to Ren Yaoqi since she last saw her save Mrs. Xu. In addition to her relationship with Xiao Jinglin, every time Ren Yaoqi comes to Yanbei palace, she always tells her subordinates to greet her.

Ren Yaoqi said, "I don't have anything important to do. I'm here to greet the princess. If the princess has something to do, it's better not to disturb her

Mother Xin said, "the old princess is ill. The doctor is taking care of her pulse. The princess has been guarding her."

"Old princess, is she well?" Ren Yaoqi cared about Tao properly.

Mother Xin sighed: "it's not for Wu's sake. Mrs. Wu is still young."

Wu Xiao and his sudden death, Xiao Wei has become a widow, or a widow without children, no wonder the old princess will be ill.

However, Ren Yaoqi felt that there was a sadness in mother Xin's eyes, but judging from the relationship between the princess and the old princess, she might not be worried about the situation of Xiao Wei's mother and daughter.

What else happened?

Ren Yaoqi sat for a moment in the side hall of Jiuyang hall and talked to mother Xin for a while. He overheard that Xiao Jingxi had not come back.

The princess hasn't come back, and Ren Yaoqi doesn't want to stay too long. After a cup of tea, she plans to leave first.

Don't want to wait for her to leave, the princess sent her servant girl Su Jin over there.

"Miss Ren Wu, please stay for a moment, and she will be back soon. And now it's almost noon, and the princess asks you to stay at home for dinner. " Su Jin smiles at Ren Yao.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at the sky outside. She came early this day and didn't sit in the palace for a long time. Now it's still early for lunch.

However, Su Jin's words were just words for staying with guests. Ren Yaoqi naturally would not be more sincere with her. What she was more curious about was what the princess wanted to do with her.

It's not that the princess never left her to eat, but it was when Xiao Jinglin was still in Yanbei palace that she had dinner with Xiao Jinglin. After Xiao Jinglin left, she seldom came to Yanbei palace. The princess also had a lot of things every day. Even if she came, she would not be able to see it.

And now deliberately left her down for dinner, it must have a purpose.

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

Seeing the princess coming, Ren Yaoqi got up to see him and was held by her hand. The princess said with a smile: "have you been waiting? Sit down, there is no outsider, no formality. "

Ren Yaoqi first helped the princess to the seat, then sat down and said with a smile: "not long ago, mother Xin and several older sisters have been talking with me."

"Oh? What are you talking about? " The princess asked with a smile.

Mother Xin said with a smile: "Miss Ren likes the cat raised by the maid. The maid talked with her for a while."Then mother Xin picked out some interesting things about "Snow White", which made everyone laugh. Ren Yao paid close attention to the princess's expression, but he could not see anything, so he could not guess the real intention of the princess to leave her.

After some banter, the princess told mother Xin: "you take people to the kitchen and tell them not to send vegetarian dishes to the kitchen today. The Yao people stay in the Jiuyang hall to have a meal. According to lin'er's example at home, the dishes are refreshing."

Ren Yaoqi could not help saying, "is the princess eating fast?" When she used to have dinner with Xiao Jinglin, she didn't notice that the princess was fasting.

Mother Xin did not want to, but said: "the princess has been fasting for more than ten years. Only when the princess stays in the Jiuyang hall to eat, the princess will tell the kitchen to send meat dishes. However, the princess only uses vegetable dishes."

Xiao Jinglin likes to eat. When she is around, she usually sets a table of delicacies slowly. Some of them are too good for the princess's high requirements. She can't even tell whether it's meat or vegetable. Ren Yaoqi has used rice with the princess several times. She notices that she uses very little and only thinks that she has a bad appetite.

Mother Xin retreated and took all the maids in the hall, leaving only two attendants, 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 Yao, "come with me." Then the princess went to the inner hall.

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

Ren Yaoqi, the inner hall of the Jiuyang hall, also visited Xiao Jinglin before. This is the place where the princess usually rests. Generally, she does not receive visitors, but only some people who are close to each other.

The princess waved to let Ren Yaoqi sit on the soft cave with her, then she said to Su Jin and Qi Luo: "you also go out first. Don't let people in without my command."

Su Jing and Qi Luo also retreated.

When Ren Yao saw that there were only two people left in the inner hall, she and the princess became more and more curious.

But the princess looked at her with a smile and said, "I've had my fast for more than ten years. Do you know why?"

Ren Yaoqi thought: "does the princess have a relationship with the Buddha?" Of course, Ren Yao's period is a myth, but this statement is the safest.

The princess shook her head and sighed, "no, I didn't believe in Buddhism when I was your age. I even knelt down in the Buddha Hall to pray for the blessing of the Buddha when I saw the elders at home. It was funny."

Ren Yaoqi did not interrupt. She knew that she did not need to interrupt at this time.

"Then I gave birth to Jingxi. He He was not in good health. After a consultation with several doctors, they said that he would not survive. After hearing this, I cried to death, but there was no way. At that time, I thought of asking the Buddha for help. "

Although the princess's voice was faint, it had a soft firmness: "I wish to the Buddha. If Jingxi can live well, I will devote myself to the Buddha from now on. I will not kill any living things, do nothing wrong, and be a vegetarian all my life."

Speaking of this, the princess laughed and looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "my Buddha is really merciful. Jingxi finally survived."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being silent. She seldom saw the picture of the princess and Xiao Jingxi getting along with each other before. Occasionally, she saw that the mother and son did not have too close words and deeds in front of people. Both the princess and Xiao Jingxi are prudent people, and their emotions are not exposed. The princess is very concerned about Xiao Jinglin because she is her daughter.

Now after listening to the words of the princess, Ren Yaoqi understands that the princess may not care as much about Xiao Jinglin as she does to Xiao Jingxi. It's just that raising a son is different from raising a daughter.

The princess sighed, and her worry in her eyes was no longer covered up. "He disappeared on the way back to Yanbei in Jingxi. The Yanbei palace sent several passers-by to look for them, but they haven't found them. So far, there is no news."

Ren Yaoqi was surprised: "my father said that when Xiaoer was separated from them, his side was with others, and those people also disappeared together?" Ren Yaoqi knew that those people were masters of excellent martial arts, not to mention those who followed in the dark to protect them.

The princess sighed: "only a few bodies and horses from Yanbei palace were found. The rest of the people, including the carriage, were missing. How could we find them?"

Ren Yaoqi can't help frowning. She doesn't have time to think about why the imperial concubine left her and said these things to her. She is also worried about Xiao Jingxi's safety.

Xiao Jingxi didn't reply to her letter before. She still wondered whether it was because she didn't appear well that she didn't come back to Yunyang city. But now the princess says that even the people sent out by Yanbei palace haven't heard from Xiao Jingxi. Ren Yaoqi also feels bad.

Are those assassins successful this time? Xiao Jingxi has

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi could not help shaking his head.

No, Xiao Jingxi won't die so easily.

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