A Scumbag Father Doting on His Concubine

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiang was overjoyed: "Then, let's start with the third concubine, the crown prince, the concubines in the palaces, and the prince's concubines. Eunuch Xia, could you please help me, Aunt Hongling and Commander Miao? , you all check together!”

"yes"

Xie Yunshu raised her eyes and looked at the prince from afar. The prince winked at her, and Xie Yunshu raised her lips and nodded gently.

“Hey, where is An Tong? Aunt You, where has An Tong gone?”

Xie Yunshu exclaimed in low voice and asked Aunt You who was standing behind her.

Her voice was not loud, but because of the tense atmosphere, no one spoke in the huge palace. Even if her voice was not loud and could not be heard from a distance, the throne and the third concubine not far away could hear her clearly.

Concubine Xiang proposed to start the investigation from the third concubine and the crown prince. Firstly, she meant to "lead by example". Secondly, of course, she wanted to quickly investigate the crown princess.

There are a lot of people in the clan today. If we check from the bottom up, we don’t know when it will be the turn of the Crown Princess. By then, everyone will be exhausted, so how can the effect be achieved now? Furthermore, what if the princess realizes that An Tong is missing?

Although the fire started a little later than Xiang Fei planned, so she was feeling puzzled and a little uneasy just now, but now she is relieved!

That’s why you don’t have to worry about being late for a good meal. As long as you get what you want, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little late.

Since the fire has started, the words "rescued soon" sounded to Concubine Xiang as a deliberate statement to the emperor to reassure the emperor. Tonight, the concubine will definitely not be able to escape!

She was waiting for the Crown Princess to be unlucky, but the Crown Princess was also keen, and she realized that her confidant maid beside her was missing.

Concubine Xiang sneered secretly, but unfortunately, her keenness was used in the wrong place today.

Concubine Xiang raised her eyebrows: "The Crown Princess didn't say anything, and I haven't noticed yet. That's right, Crown Princess, where did the maid An Tong beside you go? Why isn't she here?"

 Xie Yunshu subconsciously looked at Aunt You.

Aunt You hurriedly smiled and said, "It's good for the Crown Princess to have an old slave by her side. An Tong should be waiting outside on duty."

Xie Yunshu immediately smiled with relief: "That's good! I'm really sorry, Concubine Xiang, I shouldn't have interrupted Concubine Xiang's arrangements."

Xie Yunshu took the initiative to bump into her. How could Concubine Xiang let her go? She smiled half-heartedly and said, "The Crown Princess does not need to apologize. Anyway, the Crown Princess is about to be found. Why not check it now. Hong Ling, go and see An in person." Is Tong on duty and where has he been? Ask carefully!"

 “Yes, empress.”

Hongling took two young maids out. Eunuch Xia continued and found Concubine Jing.

The two eldest maids serving Concubine Jing are all there, and there are two other young eunuchs on the porch outside the door. Just check.

However, Aunt Hongling came back after a while and knelt on the ground with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Go back to my wife, I have never seen An Tong in the duty room. I asked all the maids in the duty room and they all said they had never seen An Tong. Tong."

Concubine Xiang's face changed slightly, "Speak more clearly!"

“Mother, I don’t know where An Tong has gone!”

Xie Yunshu was surprised and a little stunned.

Everyone looked at her with all their eyes. Concubine Xiang felt proud and said deliberately: "This is indeed strange. How could a good person disappear? Princess, then An Tong is your confidant. I think the princess should know her very well. Prince Does the princess know where she went? Or what did the princess send her to do? "

“Princess, now that things have come to this, I still ask the Crown Princess to cooperate and tell the truth!”

 Everyone's eyes became a little dim and flickered.

Xie Yunshu was furious, suppressing a bit of anger and embarrassment: "What do you mean by Concubine Xiang? Does Concubine Xiang think that the leakage of water in Danxi Pavilion is related to my maid? This is too ridiculous!"

Concubine Xiang sneered: "Princess, please be patient. I didn't say that. I just want to know, where did An Tong go?"

“It’s unknown whether she had something to do and she left for a while. Concubine Xiang will continue to check on others.”

"Okay," Concubine Xiang said coldly: "Since the Crown Princess refuses to cooperate, it won't look good if she waits for them to be found from Danxi Pavilion. It's better for the Crown Princess to take the initiative to confess. I think the emperor will forgive the Crown Princess for being confused for a moment!" "

Xie Yunshu was ashamed and angry: "What Concubine Xiang is saying is stupid! How could I do such a thing? Is Concubine Xiang so sure that An Tong will be found in Danxi Pavilion? This is strange, Concubine Xiang can't predict it? Concubine If you are daring, could it be that Concubine Xiang is shouting to catch the thief?"

 “How outrageous!” Concubine Xiang was furious: “Crown Princess, I’m trying to persuade you so nicely, but the Crown Princess doesn’t appreciate it, so let’s forget it. Instead, she’s throwing dirty water at me!”

Xie Yunshu's eyes were gentle and her words were forceful: "I am bold. It is clearly the empress who slapped a blame on me without any evidence. How can I remain indifferent? I have no grievances with the eldest princess, how can I let An Tong does such a thing? My Majesty is in charge of the Sixth Palace. There are many people entering the palace today, and there is no way of knowing if someone plots against An Tong. Since My Majesty is suspicious of me, how can I be unreasonable in my suspicion?"

Concubine Xiang laughed angrily: "So, the Crown Princess had guessed that An Tong would be found in Danxi Pavilion, and even if he was found, it would have nothing to do with the Crown Princess? The Crown Princess is really good at telling the truth!"

The Crown Prince coughed and said politely: "Concubine Xiang, there will be no problem with the character of the confidants around the Crown Princess. I believe in the Crown Princess's vision. Besides, she is not in Danxi Pavilion." If we find it, how can we tell the truth? It would be too early for Concubine Xiang to say so."

Concubine Xiang liked to see them talk harshly now and slap them in the face later. She sneered: "Since the prince said so, just wait and see!"

Xie Yunshu: "The Concubine Xiang is so sure. If it is proved that she has slandered me, what will the Concubine Xiang do?"

Concubine Xiang smiled half-heartedly: "What do you want, the Crown Princess?"

"I don't dare to do anything. I just ask Concubine Xiang not to have any prejudice against me in the future. Just blame me before the matter comes to light. As everyone knows, there is no reason for the rumors to spread. Once spread, I think It’s impossible to refute the rumors! I really don’t want to accept this feeling like a lump in my throat.”

Concubine Xiang was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke.

This is a roundabout way of accusing her of not doing things well, being frivolous and not being polite! She dares!

“Prince, please watch it first, I don’t believe it, it’s such a coincidence!”

Something happened at Danxi Pavilion, and the Crown Princess’s personal maid was nowhere to be seen. Who would believe that these two incidents are completely unrelated? It's not that she can't quibble, but if An Tong is found from Danxi Pavilion, she will still be stubborn.

Miao Commander's people came back soon to report that the fire in Danxi Pavilion had been put out, and the princess and her servants were fine. Only two young eunuchs were burned, but they were not serious, just superficial injuries.
