Chapter 551
Xiao Xixi woke up not long after sleeping.
This time she was woken up by someone.
Qing Song knelt on the ground and said anxiously.
"Niangniang, the big thing is bad, Miss Baoqin has been arrested!"
Xiao Xixi's remaining sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
She pressed on: "What's going on? Be clear."
Qingsong explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Today is the first day of the new year, and it is the day when the masters of the palaces receive their orders.
Now the internal affairs of the East Palace are in charge of Concubine Xiao, but Xiao Xixi doesn't care about anything, all these trivial matters are taken care of by Baoqin.
Early this morning, the Shaofu sent over this month's orders from the East Palace.
Since there were too many things to do, they hurried away after putting their things down.
Baoqin has always been cautious in her work. She first counted all those things, and found that the number of these things was wrong, a little less than expected.
She thought it was the Shaofu who made a mistake by mistake, and it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before.
Usually just fill in what's missing.
Baoqin immediately went to Shaofu, and wanted Shaofu to replenish the goods. As a result, Shaofu refused to admit that there was something missing, and in turn said that Baoqin was greedy for something, which would lead to the wrong number of things.
The Shaofu Supervisor personally spoke, and he wanted to send Baoqin to the Department of Prudence and Punishment for trial.
The Shen Punishment Division is not a good place. Bao Qin really wants to go there, and even if he doesn't die, he will have to peel off his skin.
Xiao Xixi hurriedly got up, simply dressed up, and took the sedan chair to Shaofu.
Qingsong followed the sedan chair and asked while trotting.
"Niangniang, do you want to inform His Royal Highness the Prince of this?"
Xiao Xixi knew that the young mansion was under the direct jurisdiction of the queen. Nine times out of ten, this matter was at the behest of the queen. Otherwise, a young manor in the district would not dare to so blatantly make things difficult for the prince's favorite concubine.
"Prince shouldn't go to court yet. You wait outside the council hall. When the prince comes out, hurry up and tell him about it."
"Here."
Qing Song hurriedly ran towards the Council Hall.
Xiao Xixi disliked the speed of the vigorous eunuch carrying the sedan chair too slow.
She directly asked the eunuchs to put down the sedan chair, and she jumped to the ground, ready to run to the Shaofu.
In the end, before she could reach the Shaofu, she saw Baoqin and Zhao Xian coming here.
When Baoqin saw Concubine Xiao, she was very surprised.
She ran over quickly and bowed.
"Miss, why are you here?"
Xiao Xixi: "I heard that you were arrested by the people of the Shaofu, and they have to send you to the Department of Penalties. I was worried that you would suffer a loss, so I rushed to find you. How are you? Are you injured? where?"
Baoqin shook her head: "The slave is fine. Fortunately, General Zhao took action in time and saved the slave. The slave was not forcibly turned by those people and sent to the Shen Punishment Division."
Xiao Xixi looked at Zhao Xian who was following Baoqin, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
Zhao Xian bowed his hands to her: "The last commander is under the order of the prince to secretly protect the safety of the concubine and the people in the Qingge Hall."
Xiao Xixi: "How did the prince know that we would encounter an accident?"
Zhao Xian: "I don't know at the end."
Xiao Xixi: "You just took Baoqin away, the people from the Shaofu shouldn't give up so easily, right?"
Zhao Xian: "The last commander only listens to the orders of His Royal Highness, and what other people think has nothing to do with the last commander."
Xiao Xixi gave a thumbs up: "Cool!"
Zhao Xian doesn't know what cool means, but looking at her like that should mean complimenting her.
"The maiden praised me miserably."
Cool brother Zhao Xian escorted them back to Qingge Hall.
On the way, Baoqin recounted what happened in its entirety.
The content is inseparable from Qingsong.
Baoqin escaped from danger, but was not very happy, but worried.
"The slaves feel that the supervisor of the Shaofu should be here for you this time. If you really go to the Shaofu today, they will definitely take the opportunity to drag you into the water. Although their plan was destroyed by General Zhao, they can't do anything. , there may be other plans, in short, you must be careful in the future."
Xiao Xixi reassured: "Don't be too nervous, since it's not peaceful outside, let's go out as little as possible in the future."
Baoqin sighed, "Now that's the only way to go."
As soon as they returned to Qingge Hall, the prince came.
As soon as Luo Qinghan went to court, he learned about Baoqin's arrest from Qingsong.
He had already instructed Zhao Xian to protect everyone in the Qingge Hall. Zhao Xian was a very reliable person. As long as Zhao Xian was around, Baoqin would definitely not be in trouble.
So instead of going to Shaofu, he went directly to Qingge Hall.
Sure enough, Baoqin was safe and sound, nothing happened.
She knelt down and saluted the prince, and at the same time thanked the prince. If the prince had not deployed people in advance, she would have suffered today.
Luo Qinghan asked her to get up and turned to ask Zhao Xian.
"what is the problem?"
Zhao Xian answered truthfully: "The Shaofu Supervisor wants to use Miss Baoqin to lure Concubine Xiao out."
Luo Qinghan was not surprised by this.
As the agency in charge of the palace's expenses, Shaofu has a lot of oil and water, and it has always been a fat shortage in the eyes of everyone. Empress Qin holds Shaofu firmly in the palm of her hand and does not allow anyone to interfere.
The current Shaofu Supervisor was picked up by Empress Qin alone, and he was considered a very useful confidant of Empress Qin's subordinates.
Even if Concubine Xian, Concubine Ning, Concubine Hui, in the name of hosting a birthday banquet for the Empress Dowager, divided up the powers in the hands of Empress Qin, the supervisor of the young mansion still stood by Empress Qin, and could be said to be very loyal.
The Shaofu Supervisor made such a fuss today, obviously it was the Queen Qin's instigation and wanted to attack Concubine Xiao.
Why did Empress Qin go so hard to deal with a little prince and concubine?
There is only one reason.
Because Concubine Xiao knew of her adultery with King Xiling.
She wants to shut up.
Luo Qinghan motioned for the others to step back, leaving only Xiao Xixi.
He looked at Xiao Xixi in front of him and said solemnly.
"From today onwards, don't take a step out of the gate of Qingge Hall. Gu will let people strengthen their guard and prevent others from approaching Qingge Hall."
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently and said yes.
Luo Qinghan patted her head and slowed down: "Gu has already sent people to investigate the matter of the Queen and King Xiling. They won't be around for too long, and they can only grieve you during this time."
Xiao Xixi didn't feel wronged at all.
To be able to live comfortably in the Qingge Hall every day, eating and waiting to die, this is the life she has always dreamed of!
She took the initiative to hold the prince's hand and said earnestly.
"Come slowly, don't be in a hurry, I can stay in Qingge Hall forever and never go out."
Luo Qinghan: "..."
He tried to reverse the woman's salty fish temperament and persuaded seriously.
"People still have to go out for a walk. When these troubles are over, Guhui will take you out for a walk."
Xiao Xixi nodded, deeply agreeing.
"Yeah, people have to go out and walk more, or they don't know how comfortable it is to lie at home."
