Mo Xiang was crying in joy, after grumbling on about how much she had missed and worried about Ji Ling Xue, another distressed expression appeared on her face, "Princess, the emperor bestowed another marriage on our prince, what should be done?"
The most important reason was because Xiao Yi Chen lacked male offsprings, that was what Mo Xiang was most worried about, once there were more women in the rear courtyard it's likely to get chaotic.
Mo Xiang: Princess when will you fall pregnant with prince's child, that way you can tie the prince to you, that way the emperor won't bestow marriages on prince.
Ji Ling Xue nodded, Yi Yun was just as shrewd and scheming as Ji Yu Qing, these two women who both coveted Xiao Yi Chen were together, her enemy was undoubtedly more formidable.
"I already know this, don't look so sad, smile happily, oh right, where's An Ge?"
Mo Xiang pouted in anger: "It was his fault for leaving his position failing to protect princess's safety, after you were kidnapped by the assassin, he was the first to be punished by prince, right now he's probably still lying in bed unable to get up."
Ji Ling Xue was stunned, it wasn't completely An Ge's fault, the day she was kidnapped she was with Xiao Yi Chen, An Ge had also gone to deal with the assassin, Xiao Yi Chen didn't punish himself first but blamed it entirely on An Ge,
Ji Ling Xue shook her head saying: "Where is An Ge right now, take me there."
Mo Xiang nodded, taking Ji Ling Xue to the servant's courtyard, the servants' houses were all connected, Mo Xiang found someone to go find out, that's how they found An Ge's room, knocking on the door, a man's rough voice came from inside, "Who is it."
Mo Xiang said: "Is An Ge inside, I need to find him, can I come in?"
The man inside muttered something, Mo Xiang couldn't hear what was said, a moment later the door was opened, a man wearing a course tunic looked Mo Xiang up and down then gave way, "Enter, An Ge is lying on the bed, his body is covered in wounds, he can't sleep with the pain, ai, I don't know what he did wrong, why did prince use such a cruel method of punishment..."
Mo Xiang entered with her head lowered, Ji Ling Xue followed behind her, they had rushed over, Ji Ling Xue was still wearing simple white clothes, moreover she rarely came to the servant's courtyard, no one honestly recognised her as the princess.
Mo Xiang stood in front of An Ge's bed, An Ge was sprawled on the bed, eyelids moving, slowly opening his eyes, "Mo Xiang, you've come, is there news of the princess?"
Seeing An Ge's pale complexion and weak voice, Mo Xiang's heart soured, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed An Ge's hand, An Ge was shocked, his wrist was held by snowy white fingers.
An Ge pursed his lips and lowered his head, the maid by princess's side isn't normal, she knew medicine, the servants couldn't see a doctor when they fell ill, he had already been lying in bed for two days, his body felt unwell all over, it was good to let Mo Xiang look.
Seeing Mo Xiang didn't speak for some time, An Ge raised his head to look at her, weakly asking: "Mo Xiang, I'm fine right? This morning, I started getting a headache..."
Mo Xiang released her hand, pulling aside the quilt covering An Ge she was immediately hit with a stench, Mo Xiang frowned: "The sweat has made your wounds wet, don't you feel pain?"
An Ge lowered his eyes: "I can't move, last night the prince's residence went into emergency measures, all my colleagues are on night duty, when I woke up I was covered in sweat, the wounds sting and hurt but I can't reach them, I can only endure it."
Mo Xiang said nothing, she turned her head, Ji Ling Xue stood at the door saying with a serious expression: "Mo Xiang, go bring your medicine box over, first deal with the wounds on An Ge then we'll speak."
Mo Xiang nodded, turning she ran out, An Ge looked at Ji Ling Xue gratefully, sounding somewhat like they had met again after a long time of separation, "Thank you princess, you returning safely, it's really great."
Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Wait until you're better then you can come and protect me again." After speaking she walked out.
Nightfall, Xiao Yi Chen returned from the palace, bringing Bai Mo and Lian Xin, the three of them entered the palace to face the emperor, explaining the missing girls and faceless corpses, Lian Xin as a survivor and witness was consoled and compensated by the emperor, Lian Xin was deeply grateful, after kowtowing and thanking the emperor, she was taken back to the residence by Xiao Yi Chen.
Ji Ling Xue had already been waiting in the living room, seeing the three of them come in, the questions she had for Xiao Yi Chen were thrown to the back of her head, pulling on Lian Xin's hand she asked her everything in detail, Lian Xin lived alone in the mountains, now that she had been kidnapped once she felt a little lingering fear, Ji Ling Xue wanted Lian Xin to stay by her side, she really lacked people.
Lian Xin saw Xiao Yi Chen tacitly nod, the two of them spoke as they returned to her courtyard, leaving Bai Mo and Xiao Yi Chen to look at each other.
Bai Mo said: "Prince, ever since you entered, your princess hasn't said a single word to you, are you in a cold war again?" This husband and wife were very interesting, they were of one mind when they were on good terms, when they argued they refused to acknowledge each other.
Xiao Yi Chen said with a cold expression: "Isn't it because of Xiao Yi Mo's imperial edict, he conferred Yi Yun as this prince's imperial concubine."
Bai Mo's lips twitched, "Yi Yun is your imperial concubine, isn't that a wrong for her?"
Yi Yun was talented and beautiful, a bright and outstanding person, she was more than worthy to be the mistress of a rich family, how could she be willing to be an imperial concubine?
Bai Mo didn't feel like worrying about these things, after all this was the love affair of Xiao Yi Chen, giving Xiao Yi Chen a how lucky you are look, Bai Mo left suavely.
Bai Mo had just left, Yi Yun's maid respectfully greeted Xiao Yi Chen, "Prince, imperial concubine Yun told this servant to invite prince over."
Xiao Yi Chen nodded, this was good, he wanted to explain some things to Yi Yun.
Xiao Yi Chen was going to Yi Yun's courtyard, Ji Yu Qing was the first person to hear about this, jealousy rushed to her head, Zi Su had left now there was a Yi Yun, this time it was conferred by the emperor, she was so lucky, even though there wasn't an extravagant wedding, she was carried in from the side door, but she received the full experience of being "doted on" by the prince.
Ji Yu Qing squeezed her hand, the handkerchief in her hand turned into a ball, just like her current tangled jealous heart.
Yi Lan courtyard, Ji Ling Xue called for Mo Xiang, introducing: "Mo Xiang, this is Lian Xin I spoke to you about, she also knows a little bit about medicine, I was fortunate to have Lian Xin looking out for me this time I was kidnapped by the perverted Yuchi Gong Ru."
Mo Xiang lightly smiled pulling on Lian Xin's hand, looking grateful, making Lian Xin feel somewhat embarassed.
Lian Xin said: "Princess is exaggerating, we were strangers who came together by chance and are women, looking out for each other is normal, actually during those dark days, princess also looked after me a lot."
Mo Xiang smiled: "Our princess mentioned you as soon as she returned, you should treat this as your home from now, let's serve the princess well."

Ji Ling Xue patted both their shoulders and smiled: "Good, we're a family now don't be so courteous."
Mo Xiang laughed, remembering An Ge she hurriedly said: "An Ge has suffered superficial wounds, the medicine applied on the wounds are too poor, what's more they haven't been changed regularly, the wounds look rather terrible, this servant has already used the best medicine on his wounds, he'll be fine after two days."
Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Good, take Lian Xin around to get used to the place, this princess needs to rest." As she spoke she yawned.
Mo Xiang said goodbye and left with Lian Xin, Ji Ling Xue stretched her waist, turning she closed the window and went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Ji Ling Xue in a mist of sleep heard someone enter the room and climb into the bed, she hazily opened her eyes, Xiao Yi Chen sofly patted her chest, like coaxing a child he said: "Sleep."
Ji Ling Xue gave an uh-huh, turning around, back facing Xiao Yi Chen she continued to find the god of dreams.
Xiao Yi Chen sighed, this cold atmosphere was really long lasting.
A night without words.
The next day, Xiao Yi Chen went to morning court, the first thing Ji Ling Xue did when she woke up was taking Mo Xiang out, Lian Xin watched over the courtyard.
Walking to the reception pavilion, she heard a chuckle from a distance, it was Ji Yu Qing and Yi Yun having breakfast at the reception pavilion, they were talking about something, laughing so contently.
Mo Xiang curled her lips, muttering lowly: "Mistress, it was already annoying enough to have an imperial concubine Qing in the residence, now there's another imperial concubine Yun."
Ji Ling Xue smiled, "Just think of them as giant flower vase, what's there to be angry about?"
"Older sister?" Ji Ling Xue was about to leave, Ji Yu Qing's voice very timely rose from behind her, Ji Ling Xue turned back around walking towards the reception pavilion.
"Older sister, you're ready to go out so early in the morning, why don't you have breakfast with us then go?" Ji Yu Qing smiled.
Ji Ling Xue stood at the reception pavilion, glancing over it coldly, Ji Ling Xue and Yi Yun who were sitting on stools having a meal, felt they were being pressurised, they didn't dare stand up.
Ji Yu Qing looked at Ji Ling Xue in puzzlement, Ji Ling Xue usually looked approachable, what was wrong with her today?
Ji Ling Xue looked over the dishes on the table: "Mandarin fish, white fungus soup, steamed dumplings, the two of your breakfast is very sumptuous."
Yi Yun said aggreived, "Is princess angry that we didn't wait for you to eat, older sister Yu Qing said princess doesn't like to eat with us, prince has also gone to morning court, that's why we...we didn't invite princess."
Ji Yu Qing said: "Aiya, younger sister Yi Yun, don't be so nervous, we're all one family, older sister doesn't care about such rules, older sister isn't that right?"
Ji Ling Xue smiled and sat down, calling out: "Why are you standing there, quickly sit down and eat with us."
Yi Yun and Ji Yu Qing sat down, the following scene wasn't as cheerful.
Ji Ling Xue asked: "What was younger sisters talking about just now, this princess heard your laughter from a distance."
Ji Yu Qing said: "Oh, we were saying our prince surpasses others in ability and wisdom, such a difficult mystery in the capital was solved by prince, everyone can finally pass the new year in peace."
Ji Ling Xue nodded: "Indeed."
Ji Yu Qing clung onto Ji Ling Xue's arm: "Older sister is walking around the streets today, we also haven't been out in so long, it's almost new year we ought to buy some things for it, let's go together older sister?"
Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, extracting her arm she moved it about, Ji Yu Qing was acting cute at the wrong person? She wasn't Xiao Yi Chen.
Ji Ling Xue said: "Fine, this princess was just worried there was no one to go shopping with her, younger sister Yi Yun should also come along."
Yi Yun nodded, holding back a smile.
Mo Xiang stood frowning at the side, Ji Ling Xue wasn't going out just to shop, these two imperial concubines were deliberately getting in her way, there must be some kind of plot?
Mo Xiang was crying in joy, after grumbling on about how much she had missed and worried about Ji Ling Xue, another distressed expression appeared on her face, "Princess, the emperor bestowed another marriage on our prince, what should be done?"
The most important reason was because Xiao Yi Chen lacked male offsprings, that was what Mo Xiang was most worried about, once there were more women in the rear courtyard it's likely to get chaotic.
