When Chang Gui woke up the next day, Lotus was already busy again, but he put clean clothes next to Chang Gui's bed early, and breakfast was also set on the table. Although it has been three poles in the sun, no one has come to disturb him, and it seems that nothing should happen to the queen. Chang Gui hurriedly glanced at the wooden box at the head of the bed, and only got up to wash after making sure that everything was fine. I found a useless square scarf to wrap the wooden box to feel safer, after all, a wooden box with the pattern of Nanli is still very conspicuous. Chang Gui's eyes were not good last night and he didn't see clearly, but he woke up and looked again during the day to find out.

After breakfast, Chang Gui went to Zhengyang Palace to see the emperor, washed and dressed the emperor with Lotus before taking the wooden box to the queen. The little eunuchs were all with them, but Chang Gui insisted on holding the burden in his hand. Along the way, Chang Gui was thinking about how he would explain the origin of this wooden box to the queen, and how he could hand over the wooden box while protecting himself and the lotus.

At this time, in Yanlan Mansion, General Yanlan also fell into deep thought. The carrier pigeon from the border town woke up early in the morning and stopped on the bookcase, and he has been troubled since reading the letter.

The letter said that he had arrived at the border city at the junction of the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom. It was certain that Gong Zhu must be in this city, but they couldn't find their whereabouts, and only found a mansion of the prince of Yongchang, but they didn't act rashly. I came here to ask if I wanted to investigate further.

"Young Master."

General Yan Lan was anxiously thinking about what to do, after all, it was not particularly good to form a bond with the Eleventh Prince. Then the butler came to call him, and he yelled impatiently at the outside.

"What's the matter!"

"Young master, grandpa taught you to go to his study after eating."

"Got it!"

Why don't you ask your father?

General Yan Lan asked himself this in his heart, and then shook his head and denied himself. His father lost his temper at him a few days ago, and his wrenching strength had not yet eased. He replied with a letter first, ordering not to act rashly, but to observe the mansion secretly, and wait for orders. After that, I kept thinking about what to do, and I didn't eat. After noon he went to his father's study.

Lord Yanlan had already been prepared and the tea was waiting for her son to come.

"Father."

Lord Yan Lan put the teacup opposite him and poured the tea.

"Yanlan, come and sit down."

General Yan Lan obviously felt that his father was much more relaxed today than the previous two days, both in terms of expression and tone, at least he didn't have the momentum of scolding when he saw him.

"Yanlan, my father made too much of a fuss before, so don't take it too seriously."

"The child doesn't dare."

Neither of them spoke again, the window was slightly open, and a little wind blew in the sleepiness of the afternoon. Lord Yanlan closed her eyes slightly, feeling the wind, and felt a lot more comfortable.

"Yanlan, do you remember how your eldest prince died?"

General Yan Lan was blown by the warm and warm wind, and just felt better, and when he heard his father's words, it was as cold as falling into an ice cave for a moment. His eyes widened, and the scenes of the past appeared in front of his eyes, and the huge waves of those deeply hidden sins were rolling in his mind.

Although Xiao Lizi was waiting by the queen's side last night, the queen knew that she hadn't said a few words to him so far, and she was still lukewarm. was depressed when he heard Chang Gui's voice.

"Niangniang, the villain is often expensive."

The queen's originally dim eyes became brighter, and she said excitedly,

"Father-in-law Chang, come in."

Xiao Lizi had to bow his head and take a step back to give up the seat next to the queen. But after Chang Gui came in, he didn't stand beside the queen but knelt directly on the ground, which scared the queen.

"What is my father-in-law doing, hurry up."

The queen's tone was full of worry, but Chang Gui refused to get up, shook his head,

"Niangniang, can you tell everyone to step down, the villain wants to say a few words to Niangniang alone."

The queen didn't know why she was a little happy in her heart, smiled and waved her hand,

"What kind of man is this, you all stand down."

Everyone, including Xiao Lizi, retreated, and Xiao Lizi walked at the end and closed the door for Chang Gui. Xiao Lizi felt unhappy in his heart, he didn't know what the hell this Chang Gui had in mind, and he didn't even know what he said.

"Okay, Chang Gui, you can say anything about it."

Chang Gui slowly raised his head, and he didn't know when his face changed to an embarrassed expression,

"Mother, villain, villain may be in trouble."

"What does that mean, what's going on with you?"

The queen asked puzzledly, and at this time, Chang Gui brought the small burden he brought in to the front and opened it gently.

"Yesterday Lotus came to the minion and said that someone had brought something for the minion. But when the servants returned, they were gone. When the servant returned to the room, he found the wooden box and the letter on the table. ”

Chang Gui picked up the wooden box and the letter he had just prepared and handed it to the queen.

"Mother, the slave doesn't know what's going on, but I just think this wooden box is weird and doesn't feel good. But the letter says that it must be handed over to you. The servant opened it and saw it, a hairpin and a letter. The minion thought about it all night, but decided to bring it to you. ”

The queen handed over the wooden box in Chang Gui's hand and looked at it carefully,

"It looks like something from Nanli Kingdom."

"The minion has seen similar patterns, but I can't guess who sent it."

The queen opened the wooden box and saw the pure white hosta as if she had seen something surprised, but after taking out the hairpin, she couldn't remember what was going on with the hairpin. So the queen put the wooden box and hairpin on the table and took out the letter.

The queen opened the envelope, took out the letter and began to read. Chang Gui closed his breath and didn't dare to breathe, so he heard the queen's message in a voice, saying,

"It's my sister, it's Sister Linglong."

"Linglong?"

Chang Gui's silent recitation with his head down and laughter was still heard by the queen.

"You have been in the palace for a few days, and you may not know Sister Linglong. Sister Linglong is the emperor's own sister, and when she was young, she often played with her sister, until her sister married Nan Liguo, and we were estranged. Chang Gui, don't worry, my sister said in my heart, I found a cronie to send the letter to my cronies, you didn't have anything to do, don't worry. ”

The queen said and took out the hosta from the wooden box again, and smiled even deeper. Chang Gui deliberately pretended to be very happy, and said while kowtowing.

"Xie Niangniang, Xie Niangniang, Niangniang said this, the slave is relieved."

The queen no longer paid attention to Chang Gui and read the letter by herself.

'Ying'er.

Ying'er. My sister hasn't used this title for many years. I hope this letter can go smoothly into your hands, and I hope you still remember my delicate sister.

It was only after I called my henchmen that I began to write this letter. You didn't know so much about it, and I didn't expect you to have so many things to say to you. Ying'er, are you okay, do you still have someone around you who can accompany you? ’

When the queen read this, tears were about to flow from her eyes.

'Even though I have a thousand words to say to you, I am writing a letter because I have something important to tell you.

Ying'er still remembers this hosta, which you gave me when I went to your house to play when I was a child. At that time, I kept crying and crying, and you told me that this hairpin was the most precious thing you had, and that it was given to me in the hope that I would know that you were by my side, and that I would stop crying.

At that time, Ying'er only thought that I was crying like this because of my mother's death. But Ying'er, I was like that because I was ruined by your brother. I accompanied my brother to your house that day, and I was bullied by your brother when I was playing in your garden. ’

When the queen read this, she couldn't help but be shocked. She didn't expect, she didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

At that time, I was still under the law, and I lost my mother, and I didn't know what to do. So, for a while, I was bullied by your brother. Every time I go to your house, I am so entangled, I want to see you, but I don't want to see your brother.

This kind of thing went on for a long time, and it was much better when you married your brother and entered the palace. It's just that things didn't stop, and your brother threatened me to tell me about it if I didn't obey him, so I lived like that for many years.

Until, until the death of the eldest prince. ’

When the queen read this, her hands began to tremble unconsciously. Chang Gui noticed the queen's strange appearance, but did not look up, but waited for the queen to finish reading the letter.

Lord Yanlan's voice drifted into General Yanlan's ears along the envelope,

"Yanlan, you must always remember that you owe your sister a life."
