Chapter 473: Being Trapped
He Linwan listened to Xue Wanqing's words but was not surprised, she deeply understood Chunyang's viciousness.
"Thank you Miss Xue this time, otherwise Concubine De's side may not let go of this matter easily. He Linwan said sincerely.
Chunyang came to her to trouble her, but she was humiliated, and if Concubine De didn't care about Chunyang's reputation, she would definitely not give up easily. But Xue Wanqing stood up and said that Chunyang was in the same room with a man, and if Concubine De and Chunyang continued to make trouble, Chunyang himself would not have a good ending, and it was better to minimize the impact of this matter.
However, Xue Wanqing's doing this will not benefit her at all, and it may make Concubine De's mother and daughter hold a grudge. If it weren't for Xue Wanqing's status not being low, and she made it clear in front of the queen, it would have been possible for Concubine De to kill her.
"I'm not just helping you," Xue Wanqing shook her head and sighed, "I don't know how many days I have to stay in the palace this time, I just hope that princess can stop for a while." ”
He Linwan nodded approvingly.
Then the two chatted a few more words, He Linwan and Xue Wanqing were not very familiar with each other, and now they have no common topic, in order to avoid being cold, He Linwan chatted with her about Buddhist scriptures for a while, and then proposed to leave.
Xue Wanqing got up to send He Linwan out, and after walking a few steps, Xue Wanqing suddenly asked, "Miss He, I don't know what you think of my brother?"
Xue Wanqing's words seemed to be asked very casually, He Linwan smiled, and replied: "Lord Xue is young and promising, but he is a pillar of talent, I am just a boudoir woman, where can I judge at will?"
Xue Wanqing seemed a little surprised when she heard He Linwan's words, and after a pause, she immediately said apologetically: "My question just now may have been a little presumptuous. I just, I thought you were with my brother...... I'm sorry I misunderstood, so please don't mind. ”
He Linwan nodded, "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, just make it clear, I don't mind." ”
Xue Wanqing smiled bitterly: "In the past few years, my mother has been worried about my brother's family affairs, but my brother has never let go. When I heard Miss He's name from my brother, I was actually happy in my heart, and I thought it was ...... Hey!"
He Linwan listened to Xue Wanqing's sigh, just smiled politely, and did not say anything on his face, Xue Wanqing saw that He Linwan really didn't care, so she stopped talking and sent He Linwan out of the door.
Xue Wanqing was about to go back to the house, but Mu Lanping's door opened, and Mu Lanping and He Zhen walked out holding hands and talking and smiling.
Xue Wanqing nodded at them and turned around to go back to the house.
"Big sister, you're back!" He Zhen saw He Linwan, let go of Mu Lanping and ran over happily.
"Just now I told Zhen'er if I wanted to find a palace person to find out the news, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Mu Lanping looked at Xue Wanqing's closed door, "Sister He just came out of Miss Xue's place?"
He Linwan nodded, "After I came back, I went to Miss Xue and said a few words." ”
Mu Lanping pondered for a while when he heard this, and leaned into He Linwan's ear and whispered, "Sister He, I advise you not to get too close to Miss Xue." ”
He Linwan frowned, "Although Miss Xue has a cold temperament, she is still a good person, why did Miss Mu say this?"
Mu Lanping thought about it, and pulled He Linwan to the side, and He Zhen also followed when he saw this.
Mu Lanping saw that there was no one else around, so she whispered: "Miss Xue said to the grandmother who came to inquire that she was brought out with other people, but in fact, she went back after she came out. So she must have known something that we didn't know. ”
He Linwan thought that if Xue Wanqing went back again after everyone came out, it would explain why she knew that Princess Chunyang was locked in the house with a man. When the fifth prince rescued Chunyang, Xue Wanqing may have heard their conversation.
"Maybe she even knew when you were embarrassed by Chunyang, after all, she was next door to you at the time, but she pretended not to know anything. Mu Lanping frowned.
He Zhen asked suspiciously, "Sister Mu, how do you know that Miss Xue has gone back again?"
He Linwan also looked at Mu Lanping.
Mu Lanping smiled a little embarrassedly, "I secretly found someone to help me keep an eye on Miss Xue, that person said that he saw Miss Xue avoid everyone and then quietly went back, although I don't know why she went back again, but she can't be wrong if she lied." ”
He Zhen was even more puzzled, "But Sister Mu, why are you looking for someone to keep an eye on Miss Xue?"
"Oh, why are you so much!" Mu Lanping's face froze, and he stomped his foot and sneered at He Zhenjiao.
He Zhen stuck out her tongue and hid behind He Linwan without speaking.
Mu Lanping looked at He Linwan and said embarrassedly: "Because I heard that she is very likely to be the fifth princess of the inner family, so I found someone to keep an eye on her, and I don't have any bad intentions, but I am just a little curious about her." ”
He Linwan was noncommittal to Mu Lanping's words, just smiled and said with appreciation: "Thank you Miss Mu for the reminder, I will be careful." ”
Mu Lanping looked at He Linwan and asked, "Sister He, the queen didn't embarrass you just now, right?"
He Linwan shook his head, "Niangniang just asked a few words. ”
"That's good. After Mu Lanping finished speaking, he sighed again, "There should be nothing wrong with you here, but the Fifth Highness is in trouble." ”
Mu Lanping paused when she said this, she thought that He Linwan would ask later, but He Linwan didn't know what he was thinking and was silent.
Fortunately, there was a He Zhen here, and He Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the Fifth Highness?"
Mu Lanping looked worried, "His Royal Highness was severely reprimanded by Concubine De Niangniang, not to mention it for the time being, I heard that some officials impeached him for breaking into the Wenzhen Palace, and His Majesty was also dissatisfied with him because of this matter." ”
"Yanguan got the news so quickly?" He Linwan finally gave a response.
Mu Lanping nodded, "Yes, which of the ladies in this Wenzhen Hall does not have an elder father and brother as an official in the court? And Princess Chunyang made such a big move again, and it had already spread outside the palace. If she doesn't come to find trouble, where will Her Highness come to Wenzhen Palace, and how can she be caught by the Yanguan?"
He Linwan heard Mu Lanping say this, and felt that Chunyang came to Wenzhen Hall to trouble her, and I am afraid that it is not so simple.
Even if Chunyang does things but his brain is reckless, the fifth prince is not stupid in some things. This time, it was obvious that someone used her He Linwan as bait and pitted the five princes and Princess Chunyang's brothers and sisters together.
