Chapter 7 7. Mutual constraints
In the western courtyard of Baihua Bieyuan, Liu Tingfeng was teaching concubines and daughters.

And in a side courtyard of the imperial palace, there was also a figure turning around like a revolving lantern.

"What should I do? What should I do? Eunuch Lao, what should I do?" The fourteenth prince Xiao Qi'an murmured to himself in a panic.

Standing beside him was an old eunuch who looked about five or sixty years old. He looked at the flustered fourteenth prince and sighed softly.

After all, he is only 15 years old, young and has little experience.

"Your Highness, don't worry. The reason for sending someone to assassinate Miss Liu Er is just to be safe. It doesn't matter if you fail now. Even if she tells your plan, don't be afraid. After all, you are the prince, and she is just a concubine."

The old eunuch Lao Gonggong comforted in a soft voice.

He knew that if this matter really got out, the fourteenth prince would definitely not be able to fall.

But when he looked at the flustered fourteenth prince, he couldn't bear to make him panic even more.

Xiao Qi'an wanted to be seen by Emperor Qingping, so he thought of such an idea and did it.

When Eunuch Lao knew about this, he immediately discovered the shortcomings.

That's why they decided to send someone to kill Liu Yiyi once the matter was completed, creating the illusion that Liu Yiyi committed suicide in fear of crime - lest Liu Yiyi would testify against Xiao Qi'an.

only……

"If I had known, I wouldn't have testified for her!" Xiao Qi'an said bitterly.

That day, after the imperial doctor diagnosed that Liu Xinning had no pulse, he turned his head and lied to testify for Liu Yiyi.

In fact, in order to avoid suspicion, he stayed a little away from the lake, and rushed over when he heard the cry for help.

In order to testify for Liu Yiyi, he said that he was sitting in the warm pavilion in the middle of the lake and saw Liu Yiyi jumping into the water to save Liu Xinning.

After all, the eldest princess of Changle has only one daughter, Liu Xinning, and Liu Yiyi is the son-in-law's concubine. The status of the son-in-law in the eldest princess's heart is well known to everyone in the palace.

Therefore, it is quite normal for the eldest princess who lost her beloved daughter to raise a concubine who worked hard to save her own daughter under her knees.

At that time, with his relationship with Liu Yiyi, life will be easier no matter what.

But, who would have thought that Liu Xinning would come back to life?

When the fourteenth prince knew that Liu Xinning was alive, he knew that Liu Yiyi really couldn't stay.

Therefore, after comforting Liu Yiyi in the other courtyard, he immediately returned to Beijing and sent someone to kill Liu Yiyi.

It's a pity, because the eldest princess of Changle is in another courtyard, so she brought a lot of guards.

Not to mention that the other courtyard is airtight, but the guards are very tight.

Finally, Princess Changle returned to Beijing yesterday evening, and most of the guards from the other courtyard were guarding outside Liu Xinning's courtyard.

Therefore, he quickly arranged for a hired killer to kill Liu Yiyi.

Unexpectedly, the killer missed and killed only one maid...

This, one is that Xiao Qi'an has limited money, and the killers he hires are not considered high-level.

The second is that Xiao Qi'an felt that he was just going to kill a weak woman, and he didn't need to invite someone of too high a level.

Therefore, this ordinary killer not only failed to kill Liu Yiyi, but also exposed his whereabouts, and was discovered by the guards of the Princess Palace.

Fortunately, the killer received money to kill, but he didn't know that the employer was him.

However, Eunuch Lao said that after the killer was wounded and escaped, a group of men in black appeared in the other courtyard. What happened?

Could it be that someone wants to deal with Princess Zhaoyang?

Xiao Qi'an frowned while thinking about the failure of the killer he hired this time, and thinking about the other group of intruders in the other courtyard.

"It doesn't matter if you testify. In the chaotic situation at that time, it is not clear whether it was pushing or pulling. Besides, as an outsider, you saw the sisterhood between Princess Zhaoyang and Miss Liu Er. How could you think of pushing people?" What about it?" Eunuch Lao continued to comfort him.

After hearing what Lao Gonggong said, Xiao Qi'an finally felt relieved.

Yes, it makes sense, how can he, a down and out prince, know the secrets of other people's inner courtyard?

"But Liu Yiyi knows about my plan..." Xiao Qi'an returned to this point and brought up the topic again, "If she goes to Aunt Changle and Liu Xinning to tell the truth, I'm afraid..."

"It's all right. Miss Liu Er said it, not to mention whether Princess Changle and the others believe it or not. Even if they believed it, it's impossible to offend a prince based on Miss Liu Er's words alone. Besides, Miss Liu Er She is the one who did it in the end, and her guilt is even heavier. Therefore, the best way at present is for the two parties to meet and communicate to cover up, to use each other as excuses, and to restrict each other."

At present, it can only be like this. As for the future, she is just a little concubine...

There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of Lao Gonggong's mouth.

Eunuch Lao's thoughts coincided with Liu Tingfeng's.Both parties have the intention of being a handle on each other and restricting each other.Therefore, the communication between the two parties was very smooth.

This is something for later, let's not mention it for now!
At this time, Eunuch Lao's calm tone and calm state of mind really soothed Xiao Qi'an's restless heart.

"Thank you, Eunuch Lao." Xiao Qi'an thanked him gratefully, "I can't go out of the palace recently, so please ask Eunuch to run for me."

For so many years, thanks to Lao Gonggong who has been by his side to accompany him and take care of him, otherwise his life would be even more desolate.

"It's just that you should be more cautious in the future, and don't act rashly again."

"Okay, okay. I will definitely be cautious in my words and deeds in the future." Xiao Qi'an responded repeatedly.

What happened this time frightened him, and he will definitely be honest in the future.

Eunuch Lao looked at the terrified fourteenth prince, and couldn't understand why he dared to think that way at that time?

When you get worried, you don't know how to deal with the aftermath; if you fail to deal with the aftermath, you can't hold your breath...

Thinking of this, Eunuch Lao couldn't help sighing deeply in his heart, he was still young after all.

And in order to take care of the fourteenth prince, he is also stuck in the palace and can't help the fourteenth prince.

You are a prince, but you suffer so much!

Eunuch Lao looked at Xiao Qi'an lovingly, and couldn't help sighing when he thought of that stubborn woman who was determined to climb up.

She was originally a court lady with an ordinary family background, but she was just a little bit pretty.Just because I was scolded a little bit, I had such thoughts.

However, even if he climbed onto the dragon bed and was favored for a while, so what?

The most indispensable thing in this palace is beauties!
Xiao Qi'an didn't know that Eunuch Lao's mood was fluctuating, and he was worried whether this matter would be exposed?

Originally, he planned to hide in the palace honestly until he became king according to the system.

However, he accidentally heard rumors last month that after the Empress Dowager's 66th birthday next year, his father would choose a prince to guard the imperial mausoleum.

The imperial mausoleum is located in a remote place with few people. If you go to the imperial mausoleum, what can you do today?
He knows that he is an unfavored prince, although he is not as good as the weak crown, but his hair is tied up, so he is not a child.

This job, after a lot of operation by the people in the harem, I'm afraid it will fall on him who has no mother and no favour.

That's why he moved his mind and took the risk, planning to use Liu Yiyi to seek a life-saving favor.

However, I didn't expect...

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi'an became worried again.

If Princess Changle and Princess Zhaoyang learned the truth, what should they do?

However, Xiao Qi'an was too worried.

On weekdays, Xiao Qi'an gives people the impression of being taciturn and honest.

Therefore, Princess Changle, a simple-minded person, naturally did not expect this honest nephew to have such thoughts.

And Liu Xinning didn't know what Xiao Qi'an did in it.

The original owner had no contact with Xiao Qi'an, and there was no mention of him in the book, so Liu Xinning naturally didn't know.
