Qin Yining smiled and hugged Pang Xiao back. She hugged his neck and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry. It's not a dragon's lair or a tiger's den. Nothing will happen. Prince Li does not seem to be an impulsive person. He will not do anything that will harm his reputation, so he will not make things difficult for me."
"Even so, what if there is an accident?" Pang Xiao's arms were around Qin Yining and he was unwilling to let go. The reluctance and worry in his heart almost drowned him. "Just remember, don't risk your life for this kind of thing. Whether it succeeds or not, I will take care of it."
Qin Yining rubbed against the side of his neck and said in a low voice, "I know. I will not let myself get hurt. "
Pang Xiao took a deep breath to calm herself. She rubbed Qin Yining's head and then touched her high abdomen. She felt the movement of the two children through the thick autumn clothing. A long time later, she took two steps back with her hands behind her back and said with a serious expression, "Go."
The carriage slowly left Si Qing Garden and headed out of the fu. She saw that Bing Tang and Ji Yun were accompanying her. One of the two yatou was skilled in medicine, the other was not weak in martial arts. She thought that they would be able to protect Qin Yining if something happened, right?
The carriage came to the palace gates. Qin Yining found that compared to when she had entered the palace in the past, there was an extra generation of guards. Stepping into the palace gates, without Pang Xiao at her side and without the Empress Dowager's decree, Qin Yining did not have the right to ride a sedan. She could only walk step by step to Ci 'an Palace.
Fortunately, Qin Yining's body had been well recuperated. With Bing Tang and Ji Yun supporting her, and the palace attendants leading the way did not make things difficult for her. They always took care of her speed. The journey was not difficult.
But before she reached Ci 'an Palace, the middle-ranking official guarding the gates of Ci' an Palace came forward with people. He smiled and bowed to Qin Yining.
"Greetings to Wang Fei. I have been waiting here for a long time. "
"Oh? How could I dare to trouble Gonggong to wait for me? Does the Empress Dowager have something important to instruct me? "Qin Yining smiled dignified. He could already see the hostility in the middle-ranking official's eyes.
Zhongguan took two steps forward and said with a smile, "According to Prince Li's order, right now the Tatan are on the border, the war situation in the north is critical. In order to prevent Tatan spies from sneaking into the Palace, or to prevent Tatan spies from using distinguished officials to bring dangerous goods into the Palace, everyone who enters Ci 'an Palace, no matter who they are, must be searched."
Speaking to this point, Zhong Guan smiled until his eyes narrowed. He cupped his hands and said, "Wang Fei, please understand. I am just following orders. The safety of the Empress Dowager is the most important. Don't you think so? "
Qin Yining's expression didn't change. He thought to himself that Prince Li had indeed become suspicious. It was within their expectations that they would act so quickly.
Ji Yun said with displeasure, "Our Wang Fei is Prince Zhongguan's official wife. Prince Zhongguan is Your Majesty's adopted brother and the Empress Dowager's adopted son. They are all our own people. Do you still want to search them?"
Zhong Guan glanced at Ji Yun and said with a fake smile, "Prince Li's meaning is naturally not that he doesn't trust his relatives, but that he is afraid that someone will use his relatives to hide bad things on everyone. Miss, Wang Fei hasn't said anything yet. Why are you so anxious? "
His tone was filled with suspicion, as if Ji Yun was the 'person with intentions' he mentioned.
Ji Yun gritted her teeth. She felt very indignant. Bing Tang also frowned. If news of them being searched in front of Ci 'an Palace spread, what would they become?
Zhong Guan crossed his arms and smiled as he waited for Qin Yining's reaction.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a new rule. Now that the Imperial Court is in troubled times, this is also human nature."
Zhong Guan smiled and narrowed his eyes, "In the end, Wang Fei is knowledgeable."
Ji Yun gritted her teeth and snorted.
Qin Yining said, "However, if you want to search me, it's not up to others to touch me. You can just arrange for an old mama to watch over me. "
Zhong Guan's expression changed, "How can this be? This … "
"How can this not be?" Qin Yining said coldly, "This King's Consort is Prince Zhongguan's legitimate wife. She is a first-rank noble lady personally conferred by Your Majesty. Could it be that Gonggong wants the servants to search me? Is this for the Empress Dowager's safety, or is it to deliberately humiliate me? "
As soon as the words' Prince Zhong Shun 'were mentioned, the middle-ranking official trembled. Pang Xiao's power was not as simple as it seemed. If this demon was really angered, the consequences would be unimaginable. Right now, it was unknown whether Prince Zhongguan was dead or alive. It would be fine if he was dead, but what if he was not dead?
Prince Zhongguan had previously resisted thirty-three imperial edicts for this person in front of him. If she blew a pillow wind, would he still be able to keep his head?
Zhong Guan somewhat compromised. He called two mamas over and led Qin Yining, Bing Tang, and Ji Yun to the side room for inspection.
Qin Yining was helped by Bing Tang and Ji Yun to undress. The two mamas did not dare to come forward and stretch out their hands, but they carefully stared at Qin Yining from the front and back, unwilling to let go of any details.
Qin Yining took off his inner clothes and was about to put on his outer robe.
One of the mamas said, "Wang Fei's inner clothes have not been inspected yet."
Qin Yining sneered.
Ji Yun raised her hand and slapped the mamas, causing them to cover their face and freeze on the spot.
"Don't be so shameless. Don't you know what kind of person our Wang Fei is? You want to inspect her inner clothes? Are you worthy? Wang Fei is pregnant with the heir of the Wang fu. If she catches a cold, even if the two of you are chopped into pieces, it won't be enough to compensate! "
That mamas still wanted to retort, but she was pulled back by the other mamas, so she had no choice but to shut up.
The other mamas smiled and said, "Wang Fei, please forgive us. We servants are stubborn. Wang Fei is not an evil person, nor is she a spy. We are just going through the motions. "
Qin Yining smiled, "I've already taken off my inner clothes. You've seen everything inside and outside, yet you say you're just going through the motions? I think you shouldn't go through the motions. Check carefully how you want to. Don't come back and blame me in the future. "
The two mamas complained in their hearts. This Wang Fei was too difficult to get along with. No matter what they did or said, it was wrong.
They were afraid that Qin Yining would hold a grudge against them, so the two of them smiled and roughly checked Bing Tang and Ji Yun. After confirming that they didn't carry any dangerous items, they went out to report.
Qin Yining tidied up and left the side room. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, the middle-ranking official let them go.
Qin Yining and the two maidservants entered Ci 'an Palace with great difficulty. They were only allowed to enter the main hall after passing through the palace servants.
The Empress Dowager sat at the head of the table and looked at Qin Yining with a slightly tense expression.
Qin Yining had a big belly, so her bowing movements were extremely clumsy.
The Empress Dowager saw that it was inconvenient for her, so she said, "No need for formalities. We're all on the same side, so there's no need to be so polite. "
"Thank you for your understanding, Empress Dowager." Qin Yining stood up and smiled gratefully. Her bright eyes swept over and found that the Empress Dowager's expression was not right. It seemed like she was especially nervous.
The Empress Dowager said, "Qin Clan, why did you come to the palace to see Aijia?"
Qin Yining narrowed her eyes and looked around.
When the Empress Dowager saw this, she immediately understood and waved her hand.
The palace servants on her left and right filed out. Bing Tang and Ji Yun remained by Qin Yining's side.
