140 Portrait Battle
The thought really scared her a lot. [This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
But then she thought that this painting was stolen by Madame Zi from Concubine Yin, could it be that Concubine Yin ......
No, it won't! She shook her head vigorously.
This painting may not have been stolen by Lady Purple.
Besides, it is impossible for the prince to have anything to do with the prince's henchmen, so she doesn't need to scare herself so suspiciously.
So, what to do with this painting?
After pondering for a long time, she rolled up the portrait, immediately ran to the window, opened the window and looked out, and after making sure that there was no one below, she threw the scroll into the flowers, and then closed the window, sneakily and secretly slipped out of the Ziyin Pavilion.
In any case, it was a taboo for the emperor to keep the portrait of the former prince privately, and she couldn't afford not to see this scroll.
She was going to use the scroll to bring down Lady Purple.
Because of the importance of the matter, she didn't dare to tell the other three "sisters", only saying that she hadn't found anything, and put the scroll away in private.
And after Madame Zi saw Qiu Guhan, she felt that he was at least five or six points like the crown prince, and faintly saw the delicacy and elegance unique to the aristocracy from his face, no matter how good-looking and well-raised the children of ordinary families were, it was difficult to have such a taste.
She worked all the way from Qinglou to the palace, and stayed in the palace for a few years, and she has seen all kinds of characters from three religions and nine streams, and she still has the ability to see people.
Since coming out of the Floating Cloud Pavilion, she has been pondering: Is this appearance and face a coincidence, or is there really any origin of Qiu Guhan?
She carefully scrutinized the bits and pieces after Hua Jing'er's sister and brother appeared.
It makes sense for the prince to save people, but the prince let Hua Jing'er be a concubine and let Hua Guhan recuperate in the palace, it's a bit too much, right? According to the prince's temperament, it makes more sense to let Hua Jing'er be a maid, or to leave the sister and brother in Beppu in Shazhou City.
Hua Jing'er looks so mediocre, but she can serve the prince closely, and the prince seems to trust her very much, which is unconvincing.
Also, the prince actually allowed Hua Guhan to live in Fuyun Pavilion, which is a bit strange to think about now.
Are the prince and Hua Jing'er trying their best to protect Hua Guhan?
Hua Guhan is a seriously ill child who needs to be taken care of, but "care" is not the same as "protection", right?
Who would want to hurt a seriously ill child who is not threatened? Moreover, the child does not seem to be able to see people yet.
The more I think about it, the more suspicious I become.
Should she tell the emperor about her discovery? Is she overthinking, or is it really doubtful?
"Madame Zi, there is a distinguished guest visiting, Mrs. Lan invites you to come over and receive it together."
She was still thinking about it, when Mrs. Lan's maid appeared in front of her and invited her to the vestibule.
She had to suppress the doubts in her heart, and saw that Mrs. Lan and the distinguished guests had gone.
Although the prince is not in the mansion for the New Year, after the news that the prince is likely to recover from his illness spread, countless dignitaries and nobles came to the door, trying their best to get closer to the prince.
Generally speaking, Mrs. Lan is reluctant to share this kind of good thing of being in the limelight, building status, and building connections, but she will also encounter some situations that require her to come forward, and she doesn't care about it.
Lan Shanshan thinks highly of herself, but she doesn't plan to see a woman like Lan Shanshan who has never seen the difficulties of the world.
She went on until the evening.
When she returned to the Purple Sound Pavilion, she was already very tired, she didn't think about the portrait, and went to sleep after bathing.
So she couldn't find out in time that the portrait of the former prince was missing.
In the Jinlan Courtyard, Mrs. Wei tossed and turned, and after thinking about it all night, she decided to tell Mrs. SΓΉlan about it.
In fact, what she wanted most was to hand over the portrait to the prince in person, but she couldn't see the prince first, and secondly, Mrs. Zi should soon find out that this portrait was missing, and this portrait was a hot potato in her hands, so it was better to hand it over early.
Except for the prince, the only one who can compete with Madame Purple is Madame Lan.
After thinking about it, the next morning it turned white, so she took the painting and went to Guilan Courtyard alone, looking for a bright reason to see Mrs. Lan.
She whispered to Madame SΓΉlan that she had accidentally seen Madame Purple admiring a portrait of a man in her room, and was worried that Madame Zi had done something bad and hard to change, so she quietly found out the portrait to find out, and found that Madame Zi had something to do with the former prince.
She didn't mention that the painting might be the stuff of the Yin Princess.
Mrs. Lan's face changed slightly, and after letting Yahuan go out, she stared at her tightly: "Do you have any basis?" β
Madame Wei is from Madame Purple's side, can you believe it?
Mrs. Wei took out the painting: "Madame, please, take a look." β
Mrs. Lan opened the painting, and after looking at it carefully, her face changed slightly, and she scolded in a low voice: "No matter what the reason, Zi Yiyi secretly hides this kind of thing, even if she kills herself, maybe it will affect the prince and the entire Yin family!" What the hell is she trying to do? β
Mrs. Wei took the opportunity to talk about Madame Zi's strange behavior when she went to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Yin, and then said worriedly: "Madame Zi often goes out, and I don't know what to do, and we are reprimanded every time we ask. Coupled with this matter, I'm really worried that Madam Zi will not be bad for the royal mansion. Madam, to tell you the truth, a few of us are close to Madame Zi, and we are afraid that we will be implicated, so please help Madame help us......"
With that, she gritted her teeth and knelt down to show her sincerity.
Don't look at her usually a little groveling to Mrs. Zi, but she is also very backbone and arrogant, and her kneeling makes Mrs. Lan very satisfied.
Mrs. Lan patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "You guys should stay away from Madam Zi in the future, and if something really happens, I will help you speak." As for this portrait, put it here first, and I will tell the prince......"
"Madame!" Madame Wei grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "If such an important thing is missing, Madame Zi will definitely find it soon, and please ask Madame to hurry up and deal with it." β
Mrs. Lan smiled: "Don't worry, I won't delay." β
Finally found a chance to trample Madame Purple to death, how could she give Madame Zi some time to breathe?
Mrs. Wei was relieved, and stood up immediately: "Then I'll go back first." β
Mrs. Lan nodded: "Well, I will only sue the prince for this matter, and I will not sue sΓΉ anyone." β
Not long after Lady Wei left, Lady Lan put on her cloak and brought the painting to the Floating Cloud Pavilion.
Mrs. Lan is too proud, and she can't wait to find someone to share this heavy harvest, but she can't just talk to someone about such a sensitive matter, right?
She thought about it, only Hua Jing'er, who is low-key and cautious, has no quarrel with the world, and doesn't like to chew her tongue, can sue sΓΉ, and Hua Jing'er is desperate for the prince, and there is a seriously ill younger brother who has to rely on the palace, and if she knows about it, she will only try her best to protect the prince and the palace.
So, she mysteriously pulled Feng Jinghua into the room and told Feng Jinghua about the portrait of the prince.
Feng Jinghua was surprised: "No, Madam Zi is so noble, how could she do such a thing?" β
She wondered why Madame Zi was the emperor's person, so why did she leave a portrait of the former prince?
"You're just too honest to look at people." Mrs. Lan said angrily, "Mrs. Zi is a very ghostly person, believe her words, and she sold her and helped her count the money!" You haven't seen the crown prince, and you haven't seen the court paintings, I'll open your eyes now. β
She unfolded the portrait so that Feng Jinghua could see it clearly.
After Feng Jinghua saw the face of the man on the portrait clearly, he gasped, and then his face changed greatly, and he was speechless for a long time.
She was not frightened by the prince's appearance and majesty, but was shocked to realize that the prince's facial features were too similar to Qiu Guhan's facial features, right?
She had seen the prince before, and she also had a part in the killing of the prince, but she didn't meet the prince much, and the prince had been dead for a few years, and her impression of the prince had been blurred.
Now that she saw the portrait of the crown prince, she remembered that Qiu Guhan was slowly recovering his original face.
If Qiu Guhan completely regains his appearance, and is two or three years older, it will be a copy of the prince.
If you let someone who knows the prince well see the autumn bones...... The consequences are unimaginable!
Mrs. Lan saw her reaction in her eyes, secretly proud, and whispered, "Scared, right?" Sue you, Zi Yiyi must have colluded with the rest of the prince's party, I must sue the prince in this matter, and let the prince get rid of Zi Yiyi, otherwise the entire palace will be implicated. β
Feng Jinghua adjusted her mood and nodded solemnly: "That's what Madame said." I don't think it's too late, you just write a letter, ask the guards to bring the letter and this painting to the prince, and ask the prince to do his best, how about it? β
Speaking of this, she patted her head hard: "It's not good, it's not good!" In case this letter and this painting are seen by others, and others take the opportunity to frame the prince, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to speak clearly with three mouths......"
Mrs. Lan thought about it, so she said: "It's better to be like this, I asked the prince to go back to the mansion, and said that there was an urgent matter in the mansion, and the prince had to deal with it personally." β
Feng Jinghua took her hand: "Madam, you are still smart, this is the best." β
Then she said worriedly: "But we don't know which military camp the prince is in now, who comes and goes, and we don't know when the prince will come back." What if Madame Purple discovers that the painting is missing, or if the painting is accidentally seen by someone else? β
She's really anxious now.
You must not let others see this painting again, and you must not let others see Qiu Guhan again, otherwise the hidden danger will be too great.
Mrs. Lan thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid! Now that there are a lot of chores in the house, I will find a way to drag Zi Yiyi and keep her busy. As for this painting, just put it away. β
Feng Jinghua was so anxious that he looked around: "This thing has been seen, it's terrible, it's going to be beheaded!" Where can they hide? β
Mrs. Lan hesitated: "Yes, where is it hiding?" Or put it with me......"
Although she was sure that no one would find the painting, she was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
If someone really sees this painting and waits for an opportunity to slander her, she can't explain it with 10,000 mouths.
Her popularity in the mansion is not good, if something like that happens, even Mrs. Wei, who handed over this painting to her, will also be relieved of responsibility, what will she do then?
"Madam, leave it to me!" Suddenly, Feng Jinghua grabbed her hand, her eyes were firm, and she said as if she were at home, "This painting will be handed over to me for collection." If someone finds out, I will bear the responsibility, and I will kill or cut at will, and I will never betray the prince! β
She's got to get this picture!
