This moment was just a matter of moments, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. Even Ye Qinglan noticed this fleeting stiffness under close attention.

She guessed correctly, Shen Qiuyu really had something to do with this matter

Ye Qinglan glanced at Shen Qiuyu deeply.

Shen Qiuyu had already cleaned up the momentary gaffe, and said with a smile: "This is really good news. He sighed again: "The crown princess drank a full bowl that day, and the poison in it was much deeper than yours." She was often sick and weak, and this time she hurt her vitality strongly. Although the toxins in his body have been removed, he has not been able to get out of bed and walk around. ”

That worried look can be called a model of a concubine who worries about the main mother, and there is no flaw.

The prince heard these words clearly, and his heart was very useful, and he gently reassured: "You don't have to worry too much. The imperial doctor has already prescribed a prescription to replenish the body, and it will be good to recuperate for a few days. ”

Shen Qiuyu responded softly: "The crown princess is the backbone of the inner courtyard, and this recuperation will take at least two or three months." There are always people around who are waiting, the concubines are not talented, and if you want to recommend yourself, Your Highness can get the permission to be. ”

Ye Qinglan secretly admired, if you think about a man's mind, Shen Qiuyu is definitely a master. This statement can be described as a wonderful retreat.

Sure enough, the prince immediately smiled and said, "You just have this intention." However, the crown princess is sick, and there is no one in charge in the house. In the past few months, you have worked hard for the time being, helping to take care of the chores. ”

Shen Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused herself: "The concubine has no talent and no virtue, and she has no experience as a housekeeper. It's scary."

The prince made a decision without saying anything: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this anymore." That's it! ”

Shen Qiuyu had no choice but to respond. There was still some apprehension in his expression.

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian enjoyed a wonderful scene, and quickly exchanged knowing glances. Shen Qiuyu's acting skills are so clever, it's no wonder that the prince is toyed with applause

Gu Xinian asked bluntly: "Your Highness, can the poisoning be investigated?" ”

The prince's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Check it out." The palace maid in charge of the ingredients confessed that it was she who took advantage of the Lin family to wash her hands and put the secretly prepared quince powder into the bowl. I wanted to ask who was behind the scenes, but I didn't expect her to take advantage of the unpreparedness after saying this. He was killed by hitting the pillar. ”

This statement is the same as what Imperial Doctor Qin said.

Of course, Gu Xinian would not believe these words so lightly: "Then according to His Royal Highness's inference, who may be the mastermind behind this scene?" ”

The prince smiled meaningfully: "There is no real evidence, how can it be inferred at will." However, the more this is the case, the easier it is to arouse the suspicion of everyone.

Ye Qinglan thought about it for a while, and then came to her senses.

In the palace, who has the ability, the means, and the motive to attack His Royal Highness Fengyi, except for Concubine Zheng? If it was really found that there was some evidence. Concubine Zheng Guifei is very defensible, and she can even cry in front of the emperor, saying that Queen Gu and others are deliberately framed. But now there is no evidence, and the only witness is dead. There is no proof of the standard death. The rumors were spreading in the palace, and Concubine Zheng had no way to refute it even if she wanted to. Probably in the emperor's heart, he will secretly guess that it was Concubine Zheng Guifei's hand. Even without any evidence. As long as the emperor is suspicious, Zheng Guifei will lose this game completely!

This trick. It's really amazing! But if you go deeper, do you really confess this palace maid. It's also something to ponder

Gu Xinian obviously thought of this section as well, and raised his eyebrows and glanced at the prince.

The prince didn't know what he thought, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he squeezed out a casual smile on his face: "By the way, I still have some things to discuss with you, let's go to the study to talk." ”

Obviously, there is indeed something else in this!

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and he responded with a smile.

As for Ye Qinglan, she naturally wanted to take advantage of this time to visit the Mo family. The prince cordially told Shen Qiuyu: "Yu'er, you accompany the Ye family to the princess's house." ”

Shen Qiuyu responded with a smile.

Before Gu Xinian left, he glanced at Shen Qiuyu intentionally or unintentionally. A person's eyes can reveal a lot of affection, like a vague warning at this moment.

Shen Qiuyu's heart trembled, and a burst of sourness suddenly surged in her heart, and the taste quickly spread to her mouth, bitter and indescribable

The boy who promised to love her only for the rest of his life has now become the husband of other women. It's all another woman in my heart. is full of wariness and distrust of her, and even faintly shows hostility

Shen Qiuyu quickly came back to his senses, but he was facing Ye Qinglan's smiling eyes. Sharp seems to be able to see into the depths of her heart.

Shen Qiuyu calmed down and said with a shallow smile: "Brother and sister, please come with me." ”

For a short time, the two did not talk. But there was a feeling that the air was stagnant, and the maids who followed behind them all automatically and spontaneously lowered their heads and held their breath.

When she saw Mo's, even though Ye Qinglan had already been mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The great injury that the imperial doctor said was really true, in just a few days, Mo's body was faintly pale, even if he didn't understand medical skills, he could see that Mo's physical condition at the moment was not very good

Mo Shi pulled out a gentle smile and greeted Ye Qinglan: "I was supposed to go to see you, but it's a pity that this body is not angry, and I can't get out of bed and walk around." Look at your complexion is good, it should be almost good! When he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but reveal a look of envy.

Ye Qinglan immediately smiled and said: "It looks good, in fact, I have no strength after walking a few steps, if I wasn't worried about the current situation of the crown princess, I wouldn't have made this trip anyway." ”

This complaint naturally quickly narrowed the distance between the two, Mo Shi sat up straight with a smile, and instructed the maid to bring a chair and put it next to the bed. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Mo only ordered to move a chair, but missed Shen Qiuyu.

Shen Qiuyu didn't feel embarrassed, and still stood by the bed with a smile.

After Mo Shi and Ye Qinglan talked some painless gossip, seeing that Shen Qiuyu was still staying and not leaving, he said lightly: "I'll talk to Qinglan, you don't have to wait here." ”

With such an obvious eviction order, Shen Qiuyu was not half ashamed, responded with a smile, and then retreated calmly.

Mo Shi looked at Shen Qiuyu's back, and his eyes turned cold.

Ye Qinglan's heart moved, as if she had vaguely guessed something, but she didn't ask more. Since Mo specially supported Shen Qiuyu, it was obvious that he really had something to say to her privately

Mo Shi didn't go around the corner, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer: "You should also hear about the things in the palace!" ”

Ye Qinglan snorted and said tentatively: "I heard His Highness say that it was a palace maid who kept the ingredients who secretly poisoned her, although she confessed it all, she committed suicide without saying who the mastermind was." ”

The sarcasm in Mo's eyes became even stronger, and he said slowly: "Do you really believe such a statement? ”

"I also think it's a little weird." Ye Qinglan cautiously considered her words: "If it is really this palace maid's doing, since she has already confessed, she will definitely confess the mastermind behind the scenes, and she should not have committed suicide in the middle of the sentence." Did this palace maid say a qiē, the queen mother and Her Royal Highness deliberately concealed the truth?"

"You've guessed a little bit right." Mo Shi probably held back for a long time, and he didn't need to say anything, so he told the truth of the matter: "Actually, the person who really confessed was not the palace maid in Fengyi Palace, but Xiao Tao, the personal maid beside Concubine Lin. ”

No matter how Ye Qinglan guessed before, she would never have guessed that it would be this answer. His mind quickly turned, and when he saw Mo's face holding back his anger, a flash of inspiration flashed: "Could it be that Xiao Tao insisted that the poisoning was done by Concubine Lin?" ”

Mo Shi was taken aback, and glanced at Ye Qinglan fixedly: "How did you guess!" ”

Ye Qinglan was also shocked by this fact, and her mind was chaotic, and she continued to talk to herself: "Xiao Tao is Concubine Lin's personal maid, if she really identifies her like this, it will be very unfavorable to Concubine Lin."

"Xiao Tao said that he has a nose and eyes, and no one can believe it. What's more, half a bag of quince powder was also found from Xiao Tao's house. Although Mo tried his best to forbear, there was still a trace of anger between the lines: "Now it is certain that the person who secretly poisoned Concubine Lin when she went to wash her hands was indeed Xiao Tao." ”

In this way, Concubine Lin really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it off

Mo Shi was impetuous, and his breathing was a little unsteady: "After the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness listened to Xiao Tao's confession at that time, they were all furious, and they called Concubine Lin for interrogation for a long time. Concubine Lin kept crying and confessing, but the human and material evidence was there, and she couldn't help but quibble. ”

Ye Qinglan frowned: "Since this is the case, why did it come out that the palace maid who kept the ingredients confessed?" ”

"Because if this matter spreads, the prince's mansion will be disgraced." Mo sneered: "It's not uncommon for female dependents to compete for favor, but if they compete for favor to the point of killing each other and making trouble in the palace, it will be a solid scandal." Neither the Queen Mother nor Her Royal Highness wanted the emperor to leave such an impression. Later, they listened to Concubine Shen's strategy and deliberately blamed the palace maid for this matter. There is no proof of death again. As a result, everyone spread the rumor, and this basin of dirty water was splashed on Zheng Guifei's head. Zheng Guifei is hard to speak, this black pot has to be carried if you don't have to carry it. Now, Concubine Lin is under house arrest in the courtyard. I guess I'll never have a chance to come out again. ”

Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment before she asked slowly, "Do you really believe that this qiē was made by Concubine Lin?" (To be continued......)
