Chapter 856 Duplicity

Both mother and son thought of one thing at the same time.

Last time they killed Princess Lingyi in the Queen's Palace, they didn't know it was them. If so, did they show up today to settle accounts with their queen?

Prince Huai Xiao Tianyao was a little afraid of Xiao Jiuyuan, so when he heard that he was coming, he subconsciously felt uneasy. He quickly looked at Concubine Shu and said, "Concubine, what should I do? Maybe they know that I was the one who did it."

Concubine Shu had been in the palace for many years and was experienced and calm. She quickly calmed down and said.

"Don't panic. Let's take a look at their expressions first. If they come here to ask for punishment, we will then make plans. What if they just come here to visit you?"

After the mother and son agreed, Concubine Shu waved the housekeeper out to invite Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu to come over.

Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu came over quickly. The expressions on their faces were extremely gentle, and there was no tension. Concubine Shu and Prince Huai exchanged glances.

It seemed fine. They didn't know that the killers in the palace that night were related to them.

The two of them exchanged glances, but they didn't know that such looks had already fallen into the eyes of Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu. The two of them just pretended not to know and spoke one after another.

"I heard this morning that His Highness Prince Huai was stabbed by an assassin. As the king's uncle, I should come and say hello."

"What do you think, His Highness Prince Huai?"

Xiao Jiuyuan asked with a concerned look.

Xiao Tianyao felt flattered, why did the Nine Emperors Uncle suddenly care about him so much.

He had an unreal feeling.

Could it be that he came to curry favor with him because of his recent momentum?

Xiao Tianyao felt a little proud in his heart.

At this time, he completely forgot that Xiao Jiuyuan was not a prince at all.

But now he completely forgot to think about this.

Pian Xiao Jiuyuan said unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness Prince Huai has become more and more powerful recently. I feel that His Highness Prince Huai will reach a higher level in the near future."

This statement seems to have a hidden meaning to please.

Xiao Tianyao couldn't help but smile on his face: "Borrow the Nine Emperors Uncle's good words."

Concubine Shu was a little confused, was Xiao Jiuyuan such an easy talker? And will he please others?

Why does she feel so weird?

Concubine Shu was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu with concern and said, "You are about to get married. Is the date set?"

Xiao Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows happily and said slowly: "The date has not been determined yet. Concubine Shu should know that I just came back from Fenghuang Ridge, so I didn't have time to ask Qintian to monitor the auspicious days of the zodiac, but it's only for these two days. Son, I will go to Qin Tianjian to discuss the date of the wedding."

"Well, I would like to wish Prince Li and Princess Lingyi a happy new year and a happy old age."

Yun Qianyu quickly stood up and thanked Concubine Shu.

"Thank you, Concubine Shu."

As soon as Yun Qianyu spoke, Concubine Shu noticed her, stretched out her hand to pull her to her side, patted her hand and said, "What are you saying to me about thanking me? You are my legitimate niece. I'll wait for you." I am getting married to Prince Li, and I will definitely give you a big gift."

"Thank you, Concubine Shu."

Yun Qianyu sneered darkly, she didn't like this empress. She was assassinated in Empress Chiang's palace earlier, and this lady was probably an insider.

She also wanted to kill her before. If she really thought she was her biological niece, she would kill her.

What a duplicitous woman.
