When Huangfu Changyuan walked to the imperial garden, he saw that the queen mother was walking in the garden supported by Concubine Lan.

When the Queen Mother saw Huangfu Changyuan coming in a hurry, she asked him: "What are you doing, so urgent!" ”

Huangfu Changyuan walked to the Queen Mother's side, stopped, glanced at Concubine Lan, and greeted the Queen Mother: "The son sees the Queen Mother." ”

"Concubines see the monarch!"

Concubine Lan is dignified and polite.

Huangfu Changyuan looked at Concubine Lan again, with a scrutinizing gaze, and kept looking at it like this, so that the Queen Mother was puzzled.

"Yuan'er, why are you looking at Lan'er like this?"

The Queen Mother touched Concubine Lan's hand and looked at Huangfu Changyuan.

"Queen Mother, the son-in-law has something to ask Lan'er."

When Huangfu Changyuan looked at the Queen Mother, his gaze was obviously much softer.

"Come with me to the Huayi Palace."

Huangfu Changyuan turned his head and called Concubine Lan again.

"What to do is something that mourners can't hear."

The Queen Mother always felt that Huangfu Changyuan was weird, nervous and mysterious.

"After the son asks clearly, he will explain it to the queen mother."

Huangfu Changyuan said and glanced at Concubine Lan.

"The concubine will go to the monarch for a while, and then come back to accompany the queen mother."

Concubine Lan said softly to the Queen Mother, ready to follow Huangfu Changyuan.

"Wait."

The Queen Mother grabbed Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan had just stepped out of one foot, and the Queen Mother said: "If there is anything, say it in front of the mourning family, what is it that even the mourning family can't hear?" ”

The Queen Mother seemed a little annoyed.

Huangfu Changyuan didn't speak where he stood, as if he was thinking about something.

"Stand down, all of you."

The Queen Mother withdrew a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

The palace maids and eunuchs automatically retreated a few feet away and waited.

"Let's talk about it now."

The Queen Mother ordered directly to Huangfu Changyuan, the Queen Mother must know what he wants to ask.

Huangfu Changyuan glanced at Concubine Lan and said, "Did you send a palace maid and a eunuch to Sudong Pavilion today?" ”

"Yes."

Concubine Lan replied truthfully.

"Lan'er, why did you help Yue'er escape!"

Huangfu Changyuan said with a look of disappointment and hatred for Concubine Lan.

"What, the woman ran away!"

The Queen Mother was surprised and actually escaped in the palace compound.

"What do you mean by this, the Moon Girl fled? The concubine really didn't know, and it really had nothing to do with it. ”

Concubine Lan looked shocked, and looked at Huangfu Changyuan with great grievances.

"Concubine Lan, do you really not know?"

Huangfu Changyuan stared at Concubine Lan with his eyes like torches.

"The concubine really doesn't know."

Concubine Lan choked up a little aggrieved as she spoke.

"What about the palace maids and eunuchs you sent?"

Huangfu Changyuan continued to ask Concubine Lan.

"Qian'er, go and find the palace maids and eunuchs sent to Sudong Pavilion."

Concubine Lan called out to Qian'er, who was waiting, and instructed her.

I saw Qian'er salute from a distance and walked aside.

Huangfu Changyuan tilted his head slightly, and the black shadow that followed in the shadows secretly followed Qian'er.

When Qian'er returned to the imperial garden, Huangfu Changyuan and the Queen Mother were already sitting on the gazebo, and Concubine Lan was standing beside the Queen Mother.

Qian'er was a little flustered when she came, and hurriedly replied: "The return monarch, the queen mother, the mother, the palace maids and eunuchs sent to the Sudong Pavilion are nowhere to be found. ”

After Qian'er finished speaking, she lowered her head even lower, kneeling on the ground and trembling, for fear that the emperor Changyuan Longyan would be angry.

"Concubine Lan doesn't need to explain to me?"

Huangfu Changyuan looked at Concubine Lan again, looking directly into her eyes.

"The concubines can't find the palace maid and the eunuch for some reason."

Concubine Lan knelt down as she spoke.

The Queen Mother saw that Huangfu Changyuan said this to Concubine Lan for Lu Mingyue, so she couldn't help it: "Lan'er has been accompanying the mourning family since noon, and it was the palace maid of Zhilan Palace who came to tell Lan'er, saying that the one in Sudong Pavilion left the incense bag in Lan'er Palace, and Lan'er asked the palace maid to send it to the girl, and also asked the palace maid to send some snacks made by Lan'er herself. ”

The Queen Mother defended Concubine Lan.

The Queen Mother felt that it was better for Lu Mingyue to leave, and it would be tempting to confuse her son.

"Queen Mother!"

Huangfu Changyuan called the Queen Mother.

"Don't tell the mourning family that it was planned in advance, the mourning family believes in Lan'er's conduct."

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Lan lovingly, looking caring.

Concubine Lan immediately knelt and fell into the arms of the Queen Mother, sobbing.

At this time, the leader of a pair of soldiers who were originally looking for Lu Mingyue came to the imperial garden and said that they wanted to see the monarch.

Huangfu Changyuan thought that he had found Lu Mingyue, so he immediately got up and called the team leader over.

"Found it!"

Huangfu Changyuan looked delighted.

"Returning to the country, the minister found an unconscious palace maid and a eunuch in a corner."

The team leader replied with a solemn and serious look.

"Find something useless, go down."

When Huangfu Changyuan heard that it was not Lu Mingyue, he lost interest.

At this time, Concubine Lan suddenly spoke, as if she was talking to herself: "A palace maid and a eunuch." ”

The Queen Mother heard it very clearly, and hurriedly stopped the team leader: "Slow down, wake them up and bring them over." ”

The team leader glanced at Huangfu Changyuan, and Huangfu Changyuan didn't speak, so he replied, "Yes." ”

When the maid and the eunuch were brought in, they were already awake and kneeling tremblingly.

"Look up."

The Queen Mother ordered.

The two of them slowly raised their heads timidly, and the moment they raised their heads, Qian'er called out: "They were sent to Sudong Pavilion." ”

When Huangfu Changyuan heard this, he immediately said majestically: "Give me a clear explanation of what you have done. ”

The momentum forced the palace maid and the eunuch to keep trembling.

"Return, return, return to China, return to China."

The eunuch said tremblingly.

"Tell me well."

Huangfu Changyuan shouted loudly, and the eunuch's body softened as soon as he was shocked, and he knelt on the ground with a crooked body.

Huangfu Changyuan became angry: "If you don't explain it to me clearly, you will all die." ”

The palace maid immediately begged for mercy, and then spoke: "The king forgives the sin, the slave and maid have been in the palace for many years, and when they see that the day of leaving the palace is slim, they are the only ones to eat." ”

"I didn't ask you to say this."

Huangfu Changyuan was furious.

"The king forgives sins, and the king forgives sins."

The two immediately knocked on the ground and begged for mercy.

The two were sent to Sudong Pavilion today, thinking that they could stay alone for a while, so they took a detour, found a secluded place to talk, and then went to Sudong Pavilion, but they were knocked unconscious.

As soon as the two woke up, they said that the monarch had summoned them and asked them to go, and they naturally thought that the matter of eating had been discovered, and they also delayed going to Sudong Pavilion to deliver something.

"The slave shouldn't delay sending things to the Sudong Pavilion, please forgive the monarch!"

The slave thought that it was not because he had delayed the errand of Sudong Pavilion, so he hurriedly answered, after all, Huangfu Changyuan attached great importance to the girl who lived in Sudong Pavilion.

"You tell me the truth."

Huangfu Changyuan was really angry, and stepped forward and kicked the eunuch twice.
