Gongsun Yu looked at Chu Qingluo's eyes and was still slightly red, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that I'm panicking." She exhaled lightly, looked up, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Gongsun Yu went through everything in his mind, had a general framework, and analyzed: "There are a few doubts, first, Yan Xi, who has a poor background, where did the money to buy officials come from? Second, she is indeed proficient in medical science, and she will not be ignorant of the taboo of incense making. Thirdly, the cough is difficult to treat, and perhaps she will not be alive soon......" He paused, and continued: "If we make a bold assumption...... Someone gave Yan Xi a sum of money to buy an official into the palace, and then deliberately made a mistake to provoke trouble...... The matter of buying an official seems to have to be confessed as a last resort, but in fact, it was premeditated and acted step by step. ”

Chu Qingluo pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Do it knowing that you can't do it." Give the money you get to Aunt Wang and ask her to adopt her sister, and she will have no worries. ”

In ancient times, when medicine was not yet developed, tuberculosis was an incurable disease. After all, they are all going to die, and it is absolutely possible for Yan Xi to do this.

No wonder, the look on the day of her execution...... It's so indifferent, so fearless.

As soon as Yan Xi's official case came out, Ji Jie was the first to be implicated, so this whole thing was specially planned for Ji Jie. Chu Qingluo remembered that Ji Jie was looking for Ji Qili after the accident, and he had the best relationship with the eighth princess...... That is to say, Ji Jie is also very likely to be sent by the Eighth Princess. In this way, it is speculated that the person who asked Yan Xi to buy an official should be among the four princesses and the sixth princess.

……

After a few days of observation in the court, Chu Qingluo could roughly distinguish the four positions of the female officials. She picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "First, the four princesses faction, there are seven grades of Qin Mei and eight grades of Yu Yi." After writing, he looked at Gongsun Yu: "The fourth princess is extremely arrogant, I originally thought that she was the most powerful, but who knew that the female officials who supported her were relatively low." ”

Gongsun Yu raised her eyebrows: "That's why she's in a hurry, how angry should she be when she sincerely wooed you and was rejected by you?" ”

"Uh......" Chu Qingluo was embarrassed, and continued to write: "Second, the Eight Princesses faction, the most obvious is the third grade Pan Yin, plus the previous Ji Jie...... There is also a Zhengyi nightshade, although her position is not particularly obvious, and she is not very helpful, but I can see that she is also a person of the eighth princess. ”

"How do you see that?"

"Because whenever the eighth princess speaks without her brain, nightshade will always take the topic in another direction indiscriminately."

"So, at present, the strength of the eighth princess is the strongest?"

"Now it seems so." Chu Qingluo scratched his face with the tip of his pen and continued: "Third, the sixth princess...... At first, I suspected that she had no power, and after she became pregnant, she only came to the court every once in a while, which seemed to be careless...... However, the relationship between Yao Man and Ji Qiran is not ordinary, and there is no need to think about it, it must be related to the sixth princess. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Yu couldn't help but applaud: "The thinking is clear and the analysis is reasonable." ”

Chu Qingluo sneered, and then said, "The last one is the one who doesn't have a clear position. There was a time for Li Ziyou, a second grade, Yu Fei, and your mother and me. After saying that, I quickly wrote it on a piece of paper, checked it twice, and found that there was another missing. By the way, there is also a second ten grade Jianghua, she is not obvious, but when I just entered the palace, the second brother recommended me to be an executive officer under her ranks, and it is estimated that she is also close to the sixth princess, so let's classify it to the sixth princess first. ”

"I just praised you twice, just so casually?"

"I call this a well-founded suspicion."

"I think it's better to put it on the side of the non-faction first, so as not to make mistakes."

“…… Okay, okay. Chu Qingluo compromised, crossed out Jiang Hua's name again, and rewrote it behind his name. Then he asked uncertainly, "Your mother is indeed neutral, right?" ”

Gongsun Yu glanced at her funny, then looked at the list she wrote, and said: "My mother has always been in the saint's faction when she was young, and she has been supporting her until the saint ascends the throne, and now that her mother is also old, she will soon leave the court, for her, which princess is on the throne." ”

Chu Qingluo frowned and disagreed: "You can't say that, shouldn't you choose a virtuous person to take the position?" ”

Gongsun Yu was amused by her serious appearance: "You are righteous, so which side do you choose?" ”

"Uh......" She was asked at once, and pretended to be pitiful: "I'm just a soy sauce maker." ”

He smiled again, and the emotion in his eyes could not be dissolved.

……

At this time, in the Changxuan Palace, a pretty figure appeared in the inner hall. Ji Qiran saw someone coming, and hurriedly stood up: "Why do you have time to come over today?" ”

Yao Mancang smiled: "Because I want to discuss something with you, I didn't have time to talk about it last time I visited the lake." ”

Speaking of this, Ji Qiran also felt a little guilty. After all, she took the initiative to make an appointment, but she didn't want him to save the beauty halfway, the point is that the beauty will also water......

He coughed lightly twice, "Sit." ”

"Yes." Yao Man was also not polite and sat down directly.

Ji Qiran motioned for the man to prepare tea, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Man sighed, looked directly into his eyes, and opened his lips lightly: "You are also clear about the situation of the sixth princess, and now that she is pregnant again, many things cannot be taken into account, we must unite as soon as possible......"

Her so-called union is nothing more than wanting Ji Qiran to enter the door of Yao's house.

Yao Man is also in a hurry. Since she found out that Ji Qiran was careful, she couldn't sleep at night, for fear that there would be variables between herself and Ji Qiran.

Ji Qiran pretended not to understand and said, "I thought we were in the same boat all along." ”

"Qi Ran, I know you must understand the meaning of my words, you are clearly avoiding me." Seeing that he didn't answer, Yao Man frowned again, a little anxious: "You know my intentions, how long do you want me to wait?" ”

Her intentions, how could Ji Qiran not know? The sixth sister whispered in his ear all day long, saying that Yao Man was a female official worthy of reliance and the most suitable person for him, but he kept finding all kinds of excuses and reasons to delay. In the beginning, maybe it was simply because I wanted to be free and hated bondage. Can ...... now There seems to be an inseparable person in my heart, and I can't figure it out.

"You know I don't want to be tied up yet......" he thought about it, but could only squeeze the cliché out between his teeth.

"Is that really it?" She stared at him, sadness in her eyes.

"Hmmm......"

At this moment, it was as if time had stood still.

Yao Man was hesitating whether to mention Chu Qingluo in person, while Ji Qiran was digging deep into his inner feelings. In short, neither of them spoke again, and each was silent. The man walked in with the freshly brewed dragon well, gently placed it between the two, and then retreated.

"Let's have tea." Ji Qiran opened his mouth, wanting to help her pour it.

Yao Man didn't appreciate it: "No need." After saying that, she stood up, and her dark eyes looked at him deeply......

Like the wind and sand, she always couldn't catch him.

"I'm going back." Before he could react, she turned her head handsomely, flicked her towering hair strands, and strode out of the inner hall, pretending to be very free.

Ji Qiran sighed deeply, picked up the teacup and tasted it himself...... This usually sweet and fragrant Longjing is now a little bitter.
