The poisoning incident has been spreading all over the palace for a long time. Even the emperor was alarmed, and went to Fengyi Hall to inquire about it. and ordered the prince to investigate the matter thoroughly, and to be sure to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

With the emperor's will, the prince also had a little less scruples, and tortured the imperial chefs and palace maids and the mother-in-law who did chores. Under severe torture, the palace maid in charge of the ingredients finally confided the truth. The prickly heat powder in the mung bean sweet soup was quietly put by her.

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian glanced at each other, and asked in unison, "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

Imperial Physician Qin hesitated for a moment before he said, "This subordinate is not clear. I only heard that after the palace maid confessed that it was her own doing, she committed suicide by hitting the pillar, and died on the spot before she even had time to be treated! ”

Ye Qinglan gasped. A living human life is gone! What's even more chilling is the casual tone in which Imperial Physician Qin mentioned this matter, as if it was just a trivial matter

Gu Xinian was obviously not surprised, but frowned: "In this way, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been investigated at all?" ”

Imperial Physician Qin coughed: "I don't know about this." "I obviously know a little bit of the secret, but I don't want to say more for fear of disaster.

Gu Xinian didn't ask any more questions, and politely sent Imperial Doctor Qin out of the house. When he returned to the courtyard, he didn't speak, just frowned and thought. After a long time, he raised his head to look at Ye Qinglan, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Lan'er, why is your face so ugly?" ”

Ye Qinglan's pretty face, which had always been gentle and smiling, had no smile at this time, and her dark eyes flashed with complex and strange anger: "Did that palace maid really commit suicide?" ”

Gu Xinian replied casually: "I don't know about this. ”

"Since it's torture. How could she have a chance to commit suicide by hitting a pillar. Ye Qinglan took a deep breath and analyzed the doubts one by one: "Since this palace maid is willing to admit that it was her own doing. You should know that only by identifying the mastermind behind the scenes can you have a chance of life. How could it be all on himself and commit suicide again? There's definitely something strange about that. ”

She could think of it. Gu Xinian naturally thought of it, and originally didn't want to say that he didn't want to bother her. Now that she has brought up this topic, Gu Xinian also followed her words and deduced: "I also think that this thing is not quite right." Imperial Physician Qin didn't want to say much just now, obviously he knew some inside information, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, obviously he was scrupling about something. ”

What can make Imperial Doctor Qin have scruples is of course the battle in the palace

According to this line of thinking, could it be that the mastermind behind this incident is really someone from Zheng Guifei's faction?

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian glanced at each other, and they both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes. Although the two have never had an in-depth discussion on this topic. However, the people who are really suspicious are known to each other. But now

Gu Xinian pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "The crown princess has returned to the prince's mansion to recuperate, so I should go to visit." ”

Ye Qinglan glanced at him: "I'll go with you too." ”

Gu Xinian really disagreed: "No, your body is just right, it is not appropriate to go out of the house and walk around, I can go alone."

"I'm the one who poisoned, and I'm more desperate than you to know who the murderer is behind the scenes." Ye Qinglan's attitude was very firm: "I'm going to ask the crown princess in person, what is going on with this qiē." If you don't go with me. Then I'll go to the Prince's Mansion alone when you go to the official office tomorrow! ”

Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and his face was not very good-looking: "Ye Qinglan, can you not be so stubborn!" ”

"The stubborn one is you, not me." Ye Qinglan's face didn't look good: "I know you want to protect me." Don't want to bother me. But I'm not a three-year-old child, so you don't have to treat me with the same attitude you did towards Sister Xiyu. ”

Gu Xinian responded expressionlessly: "You have forgotten the lesson of poisoning!" You're smart and clever, yes, but this kind of conspiracy is a matter of calculation. You don't understand and you're not good at it! Even the life of a palace maid can make you impetuous, how can you fight those ruthless inner house women? ”

Ye Qinglan was poked in the sore spot. Some annoyed and angry: "Yes, I am soft-hearted. It is not comparable to those who treat human life like a mustard! What's wrong with that? Do I have to be caged like a bird every day? Gu Xinian. You know what kind of person I am before you marry me! I was born with this temper, you have to get used to it, and you have to get used to it! In short, I have to go to the Prince's Mansion! ”

The two faced each other for a moment, and even the air condensed.

Wen Cun is sweet or something, and it is really a flash in the pan. It's impossible for two people with the same stubborn and tough temperament to come together without making a little sparkling noise!

Every time there is a dispute, it ends in an unhappy breakup, and this time will probably be no exception!

Ye Qinglan still maintained a cold and resolute expression on the surface, but there was a faint sense of loss and gloom in her heart. Gu Xinian really loves her, and he also has the ability to shelter her under his wings. It's a pity that she was born independent and used to being independent, and she can't get used to this kind of life at all. Even if the other party is the man she loves with all her heart, she can't back down.

If she doesn't want to quarrel, it's very simple, as long as she doesn't do anything and obediently obeys Gu Xinian's instructions and arrangements, the two will continue to be sweet and sweet. But is she still Ye Qinglan like that? She has discarded the past, but this stubbornness and pride cannot be lost no matter what!

Although she thought so, the pinprick pain in her heart became more and more intense, and even made her a little breathless

Gu Xinian looked at her fixedly for a long time, and looked at her stubbornness one by one, and even the loss that flashed in her eyes did not miss. At that moment, there was a sudden tingling pain in the softest part of my heart.

What is he doing?

She is the person he tried his best to marry back and want to hold in the palm of his hand, what he likes is her intelligence, her stubbornness, her pride, but what is he doing now? If she really becomes a woman who is submissive and has no opinions, is she still the Ye Qinglan he likes?

The two of them opened their mouths in unison: "You" and then they were both stunned, and the first feeling that floated in their hearts was sour and complicated, perhaps, there was a hint of sweetness.

This is the first time that the two did not break up unhappily after an argument, but tried to communicate

"I know you're worried about my safety." Ye Qinglan unconsciously softened her tone: "However, this happened to me after all." I didn't know what was going on, and I was really uncomfortable. Moreover, you are a man after all, and it is inconvenient to talk to the crown princess. Or is it more convenient for me to come forward. ”

Gu Xinian's face also softened a little, and he said slowly: "Okay, I'll take you with me." However, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you must put your own safety first. And "

"I will never eat anything in the prince's mansion, and I won't even drink a sip of tea." Ye Qinglan hurriedly said his lines, the corners of her lips raised, and her eyes sparkled: "Am I right?" ”

Gu Xinian didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so he simply stepped forward, hugged her into his arms, and sighed: "I really don't know which life owes you a love debt, and I have to pay it back to you in this life." ”

Ye Qinglan rarely didn't quarrel with him, just laughed softly, and boldly raised her head and kissed him. Then, with a slight blush, he said, "Gu Xinian, you are so good to me." Marrying you must be the right decision in my life. ”

The offensive of sweet words was very effective, and the corners of Gu someone's lips were raised high, obviously in a very happy mood. pretended to be indifferent: "Don't be a sycophant!" If I refuse to take you to the Prince's Mansion, is it time to say, 'Marrying you is the worst decision in my life?'" ”

Ye Qinglan refused to answer this conversation, and said to him: "Time is running out, let's set off now!" ”

Gu Xinian snorted and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage.

The Dingguo Mansion was half an hour's distance from the Prince's Mansion, and the coachman got Gu Xinian's orders, and the horse whipped very loudly, and the carriage was much faster than usual.

Nothing to say all the way.

When the carriage arrived outside the prince's mansion, the steward of the concierge greeted him with a smile, and when he saw that it was Gu Xinian and his wife, he smiled more enthusiastically and attentively: "Gu Shilang came by coincidence, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just returned to the mansion not long ago. The servant asked him to run to deliver the letter, and asked the two of them to wait at the porter for a while. ”

Gu Xinian hummed casually.

After waiting for a stick of incense in the gatehouse, the little guy who went to report the news came back, and the prince came to greet him in person. The woman standing beside the prince was beautiful, elegant and calm, with a faint smile on her lips, who else could there be if it wasn't Shen Qiuyu?

"I was about to ask someone to invite you over, but I didn't expect you to come with your younger siblings in person." Familiar and informal, it is common for Gu Xinian to enter and exit the prince's mansion, and the prince didn't say anything polite, so he smiled and led the two inside.

The crown prince and Gu Xinian walked together, and Shen Qiuyu naturally walked side by side with Ye Qinglan.

Gu Xinian glanced back intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Qinglan was heartwarming and funny, and quietly flew over. In broad daylight, with so many people here, what can Shen Qiuyu do? It's a big deal, it's just a few words. If it's her turn to speak, when has she ever lost?

The two of them raised eyebrows, and they both fell into Shen Qiuyu's eyes.

Shen Qiuyu quietly suppressed all his jealousy. After sitting down in the main hall of the hospitality, he asked with a friendly smile: "Seeing that your face is still rosy, your body should be already well!" ”

Ye Qinglan smiled: "Thanks to Concubine Shen's blessing, I am no big problem now." This sentence "the blessing of Concubine Shen" is very wonderful.

Shen Qiuyu's smile paused slightly. (To be continued......)
