Jin Haoran sat in front of the carriage, and when he heard the laughter of Lin Wan and Zhou Lingwei coming from the carriage, he couldn't help but smile with confidence, and his mood became happy.

When entering the city, Gale showed Lin Xiangfu's waist card, and it was easy to pass the level. In order to return to the palace before Zhou Chang'an, Gale drove the carriage to take a shortcut, and after less than an hour, Lin Wan saw the majestic Dafeng Palace.

Seeing the mark left by the hidden spirit, the gale drove the carriage to a remote corner outside the palace walls, and in the dark shadow of the mountain rocks, the carriage stayed for less than a quarter of an hour. When she came out again, Zhou Lingwei had already changed into her clothes and got into the carriage of the palace.

The driver was changed to Jin Haoran, and he had already changed into the clothes of the palace guards, and next to him sat Gonggong Li of Yulin Palace, and four guards of Yulin Palace followed on both sides of the carriage.

The carriage drove into the palace and stopped at the gate of the harem, Lin Wan and Zhou Lingwei got off the carriage, and Jin Haoran also jumped off the carriage and stood beside Zhou Lingwei.

Lin Wan turned his head and said politely to Gonggong Li: "Gonggong Li, thank you for sending us into the palace, you can send it here, we are going to see our father, you go back to Aunt Yu, help me Thank Aunt Yu, maybe this time it will affect her again." ”

Gonggong Li shook his head and said, "Princess Wanxin is too polite, Niangniang said, your business is our Yulin Palace's business." After a pause, he said: "The emperor has returned to the palace, and now he is in the Qinzheng Palace, and the old slave will not accompany the two princesses." ”

As he was talking, the sound of the soft sedan "squeaking" came from the path of the harem, as well as the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps.

Lin Wan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but the other party was obviously coming at his own people, and his voice was getting closer and closer, and it was too late to hide at this time.

Gonggong Li's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen the identity of the person who came, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother......

Lin Wan frowned slightly, and whispered in Gonggong Li's ear: "Gonggong Li, let's delay time here first, you hurry up and ask the emperor to come and save us." ”

Gonggong Li was stunned, then nodded, without saying a word, quietly retreated behind the guards, lifted the hem of his clothes, turned around and ran in the direction of the Qinzheng Palace.

Lin Wan and Jin Haoran stood behind Zhou Lingwei with their heads bowed, Zhou Lingwei hung her head slightly, and stood quietly beside the carriage, waiting for Lu Qishan and Lu Jinyun to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

A group of people approached, and Lin Wan quietly raised his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised. There were really a lot of people coming, Lu Qishan sat on the soft sedan chair, Lu Jinyun followed next to the soft sedan chair, and Concubine Yu and Concubine De followed behind her. Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting walked on the other side of Lu Qishan, slowly walking towards Lin Wan and the others.

Seeing Zhou Lingwei, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on Lu Manting's face, as if it shouldn't be Zhou Lingwei herself standing here.

Lin Wan had long expected that this matter would be inseparable from Lu Manting's participation and instigation. On the surface, she was helping Zhou Lingwei to intercede with the emperor, so that Zhou Lingwei was temporarily lifted from the grounding order. At the wedding banquet, he also helped Zhou Lingwei cover it up intentionally or unintentionally.

Although she did not expose Bing'er as a fake, after the dinner, Zhou Lingwei had not returned, and she had already sent someone back to the palace to report to Lu Qishan the truth about Zhou Lingwei's escape.

Concubine Yu sent someone to send Bing'er away, and she was even more sure that Zhou Lingwei must have planned to resist the decree and escape from the marriage. So, after Concubine Yu returned to the palace, she was invited to Shouxi Palace by Lu Qishan before she entered the gate of Yulin Palace.

As soon as she entered the Shouxi Palace, Concubine Yu saw that Lu Jinyun, Concubine De and Lan Ziheng were all there, and she already had a rough guess about everything that happened today.

What Concubine Yu couldn't understand was why Lu Qishan framed her and Concubine De, and why did she help Lan Ziheng test Zhou Lingwei?

Lu Qishan asked Concubine Yu straight to the point, "Concubine Yu, where did you hide the third princess? Why did the third princess leave the Great Prince's Mansion before you, but she hasn't returned to the palace yet?"

Concubine Yu was stunned, knelt in front of Lu Qishan, and said in a panic: "After the queen of Qiyu, the concubine did not hide the third princess, and the concubine didn't even know that the third princess had not returned to the palace. The concubine was brought here as soon as she returned to the palace, and she didn't even return to Yulin Palace, and I don't know if Gonggong Li has returned. ”

Lu Qishan snorted coldly and said, "Concubine Yu has to quibble, Concubine De is here, whether Wei'er has come back or not, you will know as soon as you ask." Gonggong Li hasn't come back either, and the mourning family has already sent someone to ask the guards at the palace gate, what else do you have to say?"

Concubine Yu was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother, the concubines really don't know! Even if Gonggong Li and the third princess have not returned, then they can't just say that it was the concubine who hid the third princess! What reason does the concubine have to hide the third princess? If the third princess has not returned to the palace, please send someone out of the palace to find it immediately, maybe there was some accident on the way, maybe the carriage broke down and delayed the time?"

Lu Qishan frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Lu Manting, and asked, "Manting, you say, what did you see?"

Lu Manting took a step forward, lowered her head, and said timidly: "Back to the Queen Mother, this afternoon, the third princess was unwell, and the Jade Concubine asked her to take the third princess to the guest room to rest." However, later Manting went to visit the third princess, but found that the third princess was not in the guest room. Manting thought that the third princess had returned to the palace. But later, Concubine Yu Niangniang sent Gonggong Li beside her to send the third princess back to the palace. Man Ting was a little puzzled, was the person in the guest room really the third princess? Could it be that Man Ting was wrong? Man Ting was worried about the third princess in her heart, so as soon as she returned to the palace, she hurriedly went to visit the third princess in Concubine De's palace, and then she knew that the third princess had not returned. ”

Lu Qishan waited for Lu Manting to finish speaking, then turned her head to look at Concubine Yu, and asked impatiently: "Concubine Jade, what else do you have to say?" Do you know that the third princess is now the future crown princess of Nanyue Kingdom, and there must be no mistakes. Concubine Yu, you have such the courage to help the third princess escape, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Concubine Yu was frightened and frightened, and said with tears: "Please ask the queen mother to investigate, the concubine is wronged! How could the concubine do such a thing? Why did the concubine do this?"

Lu Jinyun glanced at Lan Ziheng in embarrassment, and rebuked in a low voice: "Concubine Yu, this palace knows that you have a good relationship with Concubine De, and I feel sorry for the third princess, but you can't help the third princess escape from marriage!

Concubine Yu hurriedly shouted again, and said in horror: "Queen Mother, there are no concubines!"

At this moment, Gonggong Liu hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, bowed down to stand beside Lu Jinyun, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the guards at the palace gate have come to report that Gonggong Li's carriage has returned and has just entered the palace gate." ”
