"County Lord, something happened. Hongxuan walked in nervously and said in a low voice.

Lan Xin looked at the snacks in his hand and asked casually, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" The expression on his face suddenly froze, and he grabbed Hongxuan's hand in a panic, and asked worriedly, "Did you hear something just now?"

Hongxuan looked at Lan Xin's nervous appearance, and regretted it for a while, secretly blaming herself for being reckless. Holding Lan Xin's hand, he lowered his voice and comforted: "County Lord, don't be nervous, the slave maid hasn't heard anything about the East China Sea." ”

"Really, you're not hiding something from me, are you?"

"Really, slave maid swears!" Red Silk nodded seriously, and then raised her right hand.

Lan Xin pressed her hand, shook her head and said, "You don't have to swear." I just hope you don't hide something from me. By the way, what were you going to talk about?"

"County Lord!" Hongxuan lowered her voice, looked around, covered Lan Xin's ear, and whispered what she had just heard.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Lan Xin's eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth were pressed hard. After some consideration, he said, "Then you can go and have a look." ”

"Now?" asked Hongfei in surprise, "Will this hour be too conspicuous?"

"Hmm!" Lan Xin nodded and said, "It's time for dinner, everyone is busy, and no one will notice you." ”

"Okay, slave listen to you!" Red Silk agreed, and turned and walked out.

Lan Xin rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingers, and thoughtfully looked through the window at the figures coming in and out.

After dinner, Lan Xin was drinking tea. A little palace maid opened the curtain and said in a panic: "I have seen the Emperor and the County Lord." A sister from Zhaoren Palace came over to spread the word that the noble concubine Niangniang had asked the county lord to go to the Qianqiu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. ”

"Did she say anything about it?" Lan Xin asked, confused. The Qianqiu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden has a pleasant scenery and is a place where the emperor and his concubines often go.

"No, she didn't say anything, just told you to hurry up. The little palace maid said, and after hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "However, the slave maid saw that sister's face was a little solemn.

Also, the slave maid heard from the people in the imperial dining room that the concubine Niangniang invited several concubines, princesses, and princes in the palace to gather there. ”

"Okay, you tell that sister, the lord of this county knows. By the way, call Mama Jane in. Lan Xin nodded and ordered.

After Mama Zhen came in, she arranged her dress for Lan Xin, and said in a low voice: "The noble concubine Niangniang called the county lord over at this hour, and I don't know what the matter is. By the way, where did that girl go?"

"Oh, I told her to ·······" Lan Xin's hand suddenly moved. A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the garden's heart.

"County Lord, County Lord?" Mama Zhen called softly twice, and Lan Xin came back to her senses.

"It's okay, let's go. Lan Xin shook his head lightly and walked outside.

Lan Xin's face was solemn, and his steps walked quickly towards the Qianqiu Pavilion. Mama Zhen panted and followed behind, some trying to persuade Lan Xin to go slower, but her lips squirmed a few times and she didn't say anything.

Lan Xin walked on the bluestone path, and saw the dodging eyes of several palace maids and eunuchs from a distance, and his heart was "groaning". I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

"Honorable Emperor and County Lord, the Emperor invites you to reply in the pavilion. Father-in-law Chang stood on the steps and said to Lan Xin below, swept the panting Mama Zhen on the side, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor only made noise about the county lord alone. ”

The emperor is actually there?

Lan Xin and Mama Zhen glanced at each other in unison, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. Lan Xin took a deep breath, nodded at Chang Gonggong and said, "There is Lao Gonggong." Nodding at Mama Jane, she walked up the steps and towards the pavilion.

As soon as Lan Xin entered the pavilion, he saw several people kneeling on the ground. Judging from the clothes on his body, he is a person from Cining Palace, there are second-class and third-class palace maids, and a few sprinklers. For other people, Lan Xin couldn't tell which palace it was.

Red silk?

Lan Xin's eyes shrank, looking at the red silk that was suppressed by a few old palace maids with big shoulders and round waists, and couldn't help but miss a beat in his heart.

Lan Xin restrained his thoughts and saluted the emperor and several concubines. He stood silently aside.

"Your Majesty?" Song Guifei called softly.

The emperor was crooked in the circle chair, his eyes closed, and he seemed very tired and disappointed. He waved his hand at the concubine and motioned for her to watch it.

Song Guifei smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Turning his head, he restrained the smile on his face, and the corner of his eye glanced at the second prince who was silent with a teacup, and the third princess who was already proud.

"Honoring the Imperial Lord. Song Guifei said in a low voice, "If this palace is not mistaken, this maid named Hongxuan is the person next to you, right?"

Lan Xin turned his head to look at Hong Silk, and from the current angle, he could just see the slap prints on Hong Silk's face. His eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "What the noble concubine said is right. Hongxuan is my personal maidservant, but I don't know, how did she offend the concubine and be slapped in the mouth?"

Song Guifei glared at Lan Xin fiercely, and then put on a loving face, and said with a wide smile: "The Emperor and the County Lord are really protecting the short! No wonder your subordinates dare to blatantly kill people in the palace." ”

She deliberately bit the word murder very hard. glanced at Lan Xin proudly, his eyes full of provocation.

"Murder?" Lan Xin shouted excitedly, "Please be cautious about what you say! You speak like this without evidence and with open mouths, could it be that Lan Xin is not pleasing to the eye, and you want to frame Lan Xin?"

Everyone present could understand that Lan Xin was saying that Song Guifei framed Hongxuan for murder to take revenge on her.

Song Guifei sneered, and said softly: "The county lord thinks too much. The main palace is in charge of the harem, relying on the word 'fairness'. In front of everyone, how could this palace take out unsubstantiated things?

Do you see a few palace people kneeling behind? They saw with their own eyes that the red silk beside you killed the rice balls with their own hands. ”

"Tang Yuan? How could Hongxuan and Tangyuan kill her if they have no grievances or hatred? Although Hongxuan's temperament is a little anxious, she is by no means a person who likes to kill. Lan Xin said with a calm face and an unkind tone.

Song Guifei's face sank slightly, and she said aggrievedly: "It seems that the emperor and the county lord have a deep prejudice against the palace!" As she spoke, she didn't forget to glance at the emperor aggrievedly.

"Since the county lord doesn't believe in the words of this palace, you can tell the county lord what you see. Song Guifei pointed to several palace people kneeling on the ground and said.
