The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1153

Chapter 1153: 562 Original Form Revealed (Two Updates)

"Little brother, something happened to your mother!"

Little Jingkong looked anxiously at Huangfu Xian, "Don’t be sad."

"I’m not sad," Huangfu Xian said calmly.

Little Jingkong scratched his head in confusion. How could he not be sad? If something had happened to Jiaojiao, he would be very, very sad.

Huangfu Xian slowly withdrew his hand, which the little one had grasped: "Maybe they heard wrong, my mother hasn’t had an accident. You should go back first."

Little Jingkong: "Oh."

This time, Princess Ning An had indeed encountered trouble; the incident occurred in the Imperial Study Room, and as soon as the news spread, the entire Imperial Harem was alarmed.

Empress Xiao, along with Noble Consort Zhuang and Consort Shu among others, hurriedly went to the Imperial Study Room, only to find it surrounded by the Imperial Guard, with no one allowed to enter.

"Is this consort not permitted to enter as well?" Empress Xiao asked coldly.

The leader of the Imperial Guard, whose surname was Fu, bowed in salute and said, "There’s a search for an assassin inside. For the safety of the Empress and all the consorts, please wait here momentarily."

"How is His Majesty’s condition?" Consort Shu asked anxiously.

Commander Fu said, "His Majesty has evacuated through the back door and returned to Huaqing Palace."

Noble Consort Zhuang rolled her eyes, "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

Did they come here to catch an assassin or what!

Empress Xiao and her party then hurriedly proceeded to Huaqing Palace, which was also encircled by the Imperial Guard, though fortunately, there was no sign of an assassin, so no one stopped Empress Xiao.

Seeing her go, Noble Consort Zhuang and Consort Shu also rushed to follow.

Empress Xiao’s status was stable without question, her son firmly seated as the Crown Prince, and her brother fighting in the South Island as Marquis Xuanping.

Although Noble Consort Zhuang lost favor for a while because of King Ning’s affairs, she still had the support of the Empress Dowager and the Zhuang family. As long as the Empress Dowager didn’t discipline her and the Zhuang family didn’t abandon her, she would always have a place in the Imperial Harem.

The same was true for Consort Shu, whose two nephews had recently distinguished themselves on the frontier; she too rose with their success, daring anyone to block her path.

The fourth consort to enter Huaqing Palace was Consort Yu, the mother of King Rui.
