The man in the fog suddenly had a expressionless face, and said to Yi Chongrong word by word: "I forgot to tell you, don't think that if you kill me here, no one will know what happened tonight." To tell you the truth, I have written a letter before I came to see you, and hid it in a hidden place. If I die, someone will naturally take out the letter and give it to His Majesty and the Empress. As for what is written above, I think you should be very clear. Don't say anything else, just about Chanjuan, even if you think it's seamless, as long as Your Majesty sees my letter and knows that you are suspicious, you will definitely investigate thoroughly. When the time comes, you instigated Chanjuan to poison Xu Huaiying, and indirectly caused Linghua and the five of them to lose their lives, you say, will your sin be lighter? What's more, I have sent a henchman to guard around here, and as soon as I die, she will report everything she sees and hears tonight. Yi Chongrong Niangniang, I don't think you're so stupid and planning to kill me, right? If you don't believe me, give it a try. ”

As he spoke, he took another step closer, and his expression was not half flustered.

Yi Chongrong only felt dizzy in his head, and his heart was hairy: this person's scheming was too deep.

She forcibly held back the panic in her heart, but a faint smile appeared on her face: "Of course, smart people don't do stupid things." ”

The man in the fog also smiled: "Since we have made everything clear, wouldn't things be much easier in the future?" Actually, I'm not threatening you. It's just that as long as Yu Yuqing is in the palace for a day, the rest of the people will not be at peace for a moment. I guess you don't want her to be alone, do you? With the strength of you and me, no one can find any clues. You have to believe in me and you have to believe in yourself. ”

"Go on."

Yi Chongrong said quietly.

"Actually, what we have to do is not difficult. If successful, this alone will suffice. In other words, we only need to cooperate with each other, and we will not be related to each other in the future. ”

"Oh?"

Yi Chongrong's curiosity rose, "Just one thing?" Then I'm going to hear it. ”

Man in the Mist "Hehe"

smiled, leaned close to Yi Chongrong's ear, and began to whisper.

A black cloud drifted in, obscuring the bright moon.

Yu Yuqing in the dream would never have imagined that a treacherous conspiracy was quietly brewing.

-- The front yard of the Soaring Pavilion.

Xing Ruolan was sitting in the courtyard, holding a book in her hand, and she was reading intently.

Linlang brought a cup of tea and persuaded: "Lan Baolin, after watching it for so long, let's take a rest first!" ”

Xing Ruolan seemed to be thinking about something, but did not agree.

Linlang called again before waking her up.

"Lan Baolin, what's wrong?"

Linlang wondered, "Are you still thinking about Concubine Zhi's mother?" ”

Xing Ruolan shook her head: "How can there be?" Didn't we go to the Chihua Palace to apologize to her? In fact, she also knew in her heart that I had tried her that day, but I was only sent by the queen's mother. Even if she wanted to blame me, she wouldn't blame me. What's more, the pillow came from her, and of course she was the first to suspect, so it was not strange to test her. Besides, there is more than one queen who wants to help Xu Cairen avenge her grievances, Shun Zhaoyi and Xu Cairen have a deep relationship with their hometowns, and Concubine Shu is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, Concubine Zhi will naturally think of this, so she will never hate me. In addition, we made a special trip to the door to apologize, didn't you see it all yesterday, she didn't take it to heart at all. ”

Linlang slowly "oh"

sighed and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." The slave is afraid that Lan Baolin will stand in front of you, and if Concubine Zhi blames it, it will be very unfavorable to Lan Baolin. Since Lan Baolin can say this, then the slave and maid are also relieved. ”

Xing Ruolan smiled: "Living in the palace, there are many things that I can't help myself. Concubine Zhi has been in the palace for so many years, how can she not understand the reason for this? You say, don't you? ”

Lin Lang hurriedly said: "Yes, but since it wasn't because of Concubine Zhi, what was Lan Baolin thinking so distracted?" ”

She thought for a moment and said, "Oh, isn't it for the sake of His Majesty that Xu is a beauty?" ”

Xing Ruolan glanced at Linlang angrily: "Your Majesty is comforting her." She has suffered so much, it is normal to promote her position! In my opinion, it should be promoted to Jieyu. ”

Linlang stuck out his tongue, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Eh, is it the canonization of Yu Yuqing the day after tomorrow?" ”

Xing Ruolan shook her head: "What is there to think about in this matter?" ”

Linlang frowned: "That Yu Yuqing entered the palace with Lan Baolin, Lan Baolin's background is much higher than her, and the queen mother is sheltered by the side." However, the slave maid heard that His Majesty had asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare a holy decree and wanted to directly seal her as Jieyu! Although it is not confirmed, Yuexi told me that the news came from a fellow villager in Zongzheng Temple, and it should be correct. ”

"You're not convinced, are you?"

Xing Ruolan smiled lightly.

Linlang pouted: "Of course I'm not convinced." How can there be a reason to be promoted from a girl to Jieyu all of a sudden? Since the founding of our country, there has never been such a precedent! ”

"Does the absence of precedent mean that it will not happen?"

Linlang was still angry: "As far as the slave maid knows, the highest is Lan Baolin's level, and most of them are selected servants, at most, they are nobles and Caiyi." Yu Yuqing can not only reach the level of Baolin, but can even skip talents and beauties, which is not unconvincing enough? ”

Xing Ruolan didn't care: "Linlang, you've been with me for a few months, why don't you understand, when did I care about whether other women were promoted or demoted, or whether I could get His Majesty's favor, how much?" What does all this have to do with me? ”

"Lan Baolin ......"

Linlang was speechless.

"Don't have anything to say?"

Xing Ruolan smiled lightly.

Linlang sighed.

"By the way, the canonization ceremony the day after tomorrow, you can show me what clothes to wear. The protagonist of that day was Yu Qing, let's not dress up in a fancy way, lest the limelight overshadow her, and it would be bad to be criticized by others. ”

Linlang sighed secretly, so she had to smile bitterly: "That slave maid will go and help Lan Baolin take a look now." ”

After that, he seemed to think of something: "Lan Baolin is not thinking about these things, the slave and maid see that you have been in a daze, what is Lan Baolin thinking?" ”

Xing Ruolan's smile gradually disappeared, her expression froze, she stood up and looked into the distance, and sighed lightly: "Chanjuan's matter, I'm afraid it hasn't really passed." ”

"Huh?"

Linlang was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Why did Lan Baolin say that?" ”

Xing Ruolan turned around to look at Linlang, her eyebrows slightly locked: "Linlang, I have always regarded you as a confidant, so I don't have to hide this matter from you." ”

"Thank you Lan Baolin for your trust."

Linlang was moved in her heart and was deeply blessed by Xing Ruolan.

Xing Ruolan said leisurely: "You also heard it in the main hall that day, Xu Meiren asked Chanjuan, when did she know that her father's death was related to Xu Yushi?" But Chanjuan didn't answer. ”

"yes, so what?"

Linlang looked confused.

"Xu Yushi's official position is special, even if there is really conclusive evidence that he intends to overthrow a certain official, he will only secretly play His Majesty and ask His Majesty to judge, and will never let others know that it was his own doing. It is customary in our dynasty that if an official is convicted, it is impossible for his family to know who participated in the concert. Chanjuan is Hong Li's bloodline, and she was demoted to the palace early, how do you know that it is the Hong family that Xu Yushi participated in? ”

Linlang thought thoughtfully: "Lan Baolin means that someone deliberately revealed this news to Chanjuan?" Good to borrow Chanjuan's hand ......? ”

Xing Ruolan's face was worried: "I'm afraid it can only be like this." ”

Linlang frowned: "Then according to what Lan Baolin said, Chanjuan is a scapegoat." Now that it's dead, it's a hundred, and no one continues to pursue it, but the real murderer behind the scenes is at large. Lan Baolin, isn't that so? ”

Xing Ruolan nodded: "You're right. It's just that I don't know now, how did that person know about the grievances between the Hong family and the Xu family? What does she have with Xu Meiren? ”

"Xu Meiren has always been cautious in her words and deeds, and when she entered the palace to be favored, she was not the slightest bit arrogant and domineering, she was very humble, and the palace had a good opinion of her. It stands to reason that how could she offend anyone with her temperament? It's true that others offend her, and she doesn't care. ”

"That ......"

Xing Ruolan's heart suddenly sank, "Could it be that the real murderer also had a holiday with Xu Yushi, so he borrowed Chanjuan's hand to take revenge on Xu Meiren?" ”

Linlang hurriedly said: "I think it only makes sense to explain it like this, so what does Lan Baolin plan to do?" ”

Xing Ruolan said dejectedly: "It's just a suspicion." Besides, now there is not even a suspect, let alone evidence, and I don't know what to do. ”

Her gaze farther and farther away, after a while, turned into a bitter sigh: "Perhaps, I shouldn't care so much at all." ”

"Lan Baolin ......"

Seeing that Xing Ruolan's face was not good, Linlang couldn't help but worry.

"Alright,"

She suddenly smiled, "Why is it getting deeper and deeper the more you talk?" Only you know about it, and we're all going to swallow it. From now on, we just need to pay attention to the people in the palace. If you can really find the clue, then tell the queen and let her judge it is not too late. ”

Linlang answered "Okay"

, the master and servant diverted the topic, not wanting to think more about such self-disturbing things.
