Chapter 406: Reckoning (1)

The son born to the Lin family was raised under the name of the Mo family. Mo generously asked for the grace of the side concubine for the Lin family, and after the Lin family became the side concubine, he naturally stood on the united front with the Mo family and worked together to deal with Shen Qiuyu. Don't forget to give Shen Qiuyu eye medicine all the time. Such a great opportunity, naturally will not be missed.

When the prince heard this, he was really not very happy, and glanced at Shen Qiuyu.

Shen Qiuyu's heart tightened, but there was an indifferent smile on his face, but he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. Now that she finally understood, no wonder she could say so lightly today that the Lin family and the Mo family entered the palace together. It turns out that this is simply the two of them intentionally, setting a trap and waiting for her here!

On a normal day, she would never make such a superficial mistake. But this time, she was really in a mess, and she was actually spotted by the Mo family and the Lin family, and used this to instigate her in front of the prince......

Seeing that the prince's face was unhappy, Mo Shi felt a burst of happiness in his heart. He looked at Queen Gu with a smile: "I don't know when the queen mother plans to marry her cousin and Miss Ye Shi?" ”

Empress Gu frowned slightly, and then smiled casually: "Marriage is not a trivial matter, you have to think about it in the long run, and it's not too late to talk about it in the future." She has little interest in the intrigue tricks of Mo and others, and she has no intention of mixing or pulling the strings.

As soon as Mo heard this, he naturally didn't want to ask more. In his heart, he was secretly thinking about how to use this matter to deal with Shen Qiuyu......

Out of the Fengyi Palace, Gu Xinian slowed down his pace and deliberately maintained a distance not far from Ye Qinglan. Deliberately expressing Xiàn's intimacy in front of Empress Gu and the crown prince and others before, it was naturally an ulterior motive. Now that I have left the Fengyi Palace, I should pay attention to some proportions. lest he be seen as too close to Ye Qinglan.

Actually, after today. The relationship between the two can no longer be hidden. Because of this, it is even more necessary to avoid suspicion. so as not to provoke gossip. It doesn't matter if he's a big man. But the reputation of the girl who is not out of the cabinet can't help but care......

Ye Qinglan obviously guessed Gu Xinian's intentions, and looked back and smiled slightly. In the intersection of the four eyes, the affection and veins flow, and they communicate with each other.

After this incident, the relationship between the two has taken a big step forward invisibly.

walked quietly all the way to the palace gate.

The female officer took two steps back with great interest, so that the two could say goodbye. However, the lingering and tender and reluctant farewell scene in the imagination of the female official did not appear.

I saw Gu Xinian say lightly: "Cousin Lan, take care." ”

Ye Qinglan smiled lightly: "Cousin Gu should also take care." Then, Ye Qinglan turned around and got into the carriage. Gu Xinian just stood quietly in place.

The female official in law blessed Gu Xinian. Also got into the carriage.

With a crisp whip, the carriage started slowly. Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to lift the curtain of the car and look back, silently thinking about how to deal with the reproaches she would encounter after returning home.

……

Nothing to say all the way. The female official is worthy of being a cronie female official beside Queen Gu, and her self-control is first-class. Even if you are curious, you will never ask lightly. After an hour, the carriage slowed down. Changyuan Bofu is close at hand.

Lady Yue broke the silence with a smile: "Miss Ye Shi, Uncle Changyuan's Mansion is almost here." ”

Ye Qinglan smiled politely and thanked her: "Thank you, Lady Yue, for sending me back all the way." ”

"It's a slave's business." After a few polite words, the carriage stopped. The female officer accompanied Ye Qinglan to get out of the carriage, and the little servant in the concierge had already rushed to Changhetang to report.

After Jiang got the news. Immediately greeted him personally. Such courtesy is naturally because of the female official. Ye Qinglan often goes out of the house as a guest, and she has never been treated like this when she comes back.

The daughter-in-law politely greeted the Jiang family, and finally said goodbye and left.

Jiang personally sent a ride. After sending off the daughter-in-law, she finally had the leisure to "torture" Ye Qinglan: "Sister Lan, the queen mother personally summoned you to the palace." What did they tell you? ”

Ye Qinglan replied respectfully: "The queen mother only asked my name and age, and didn't ask much else." ”

Such an obvious perfunctory statement. Naturally, he couldn't deal with the shrewd Jiang family.

Jiang Shi looked at it with a smile: "The queen mother is very busy in charge of the sixth palace, since she specially summoned you." It can't be for no reason! She didn't believe it, how could Ye Qinglan not know at all?

Ye Qinglan looked innocent: "I also feel strange in my heart, but I don't have the courage to ask the queen." I'm still confused, and I don't know what's going on. "It was simply pushed on Queen Gu's head, and the Jiang family didn't have a chance to confront Queen Gu anyway. She could do whatever she wanted.

This is also a countermeasure that Ye Qinglan thought about all the way.

There are some things that are far better to be secretive than to be open. With the shrewdness of the Jiang family and others, they could naturally guess Queen Gu's intentions. Whether she admits it or not, it doesn't really matter. In that case, it's better to pretend to be confused.

Jiang Shi looked at Ye Qinglan fixedly, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Ye Qinglan looked back without changing her face, her face was calm, her eyes were clear, and she didn't look like she was lying. It made Jiang a little uncertain. Could it be that Ye Qinglan really doesn't know anything?

At this glance, I couldn't help but see Ye Qinglan's earrings and hairpins again. Such exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship of jewelry are obviously from the imperial court......

"These earrings and hairpins were given to me by the queen mother." Ye Qinglan took the initiative to explain: "After the queen summoned me and asked me a few words, she asked the palace maid to bring out two boxes of jewelry, and I picked these two. ”

Jiang Shi was quite satisfied with her honesty: "Since it is a gift from the queen's mother, you should wear it well!" After asking a few more questions, Ye Qinglan insisted that she didn't know anything. Jiang reluctantly gave up the interrogation, and finally let Ye Qinglan go.

Out of Changhe Hall, Ye Qinglan didn't dare to be careless at all. Because she knows very well that the real test is next!

As soon as she walked to the door of the Hefeng Courtyard, the little maid guarding the door rushed to report to the Xue family. Ye Qinglan pulled the corners of her lips silently, and walked in without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as he walked under the verandah, Xue Shi "greeted" him with a gloomy face. Ye Yuanzhou and Ye Qingfu also came out with the Xue family. Ye Yuanzhou's face was gloomy, Ye Qingfu was scolded for no reason, and his mood was not much better. At a glance, there are three neat and ugly faces.

Ye Qinglan was in a good mood, and saluted the Xue family with a smile: "My daughter has seen her mother." ”

In Xue's eyes, that smile was undoubtedly the pride of the victor.

Xue's heart churned, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time surged into his heart: "What the hell is going on today? Why did the queen suddenly summon you to the palace? There was not even the slightest sign before, so she was caught off guard, and she lost face ruthlessly, and she had to apologize to Ma in a low voice. Don't mention the grievances in her heart!

Ye Qinglan innocently moved out the rhetoric of dealing with the Jiang family: "My daughter doesn't know what's going on. When the queen mother saw me, she only asked me my name and age, and gave me two pieces of jewelry. After leaving me for lunch, she asked her daughter-in-law to send me back. ”

…… If she believes that, she's a ghost! Xue Shi sneered, a chill flashed in his eyes, and his voice became cold: "Don't be sloppy in front of me, it's so decent, how could the queen mother think of summoning such an insignificant concubine as you." You must have been playing tricks behind your back. ”

"Mother thinks so highly of me." Ye Qinglan had already prepared, and responded unhurriedly: "As my mother said, I am an insignificant concubine, how can I have the ability to have a relationship with the queen." I have no ability to influence the queen's decision. From the beginning to the end, I didn't know why the Queen had summoned me. ”

Xue Shi is not so easy to fool, and snorted coldly and said: "If you don't have this ability, others may not be." You tell me honestly, did you privately ask Gu Xiyu to come forward for you? ”

Come to think of it, this is the only possibility. The people who can influence Queen Gu must be people close to Queen Gu. And the only one who is close to Queen Gu and good friends with Ye Qinglan is Gu Xiyu.

Of course, the Xue family also had doubts about Gu Xinian. However, as soon as this idea was born, it was decisively denied. With an outstanding man like Gu Xinian, how could he be compatible with Ye Qinglan? Needless to say, the identity gap between the two is needless to say, Ye Qinglan is just a young and immature yellow-haired girl, but Gu Xinian is a mature man with a prominent family background, and he is a hot household servant, such a man is not a good match for Ye Qinglan at all.

Therefore, this person who secretly helped Ye Qinglan must be Gu Xiyu.

Ye Qinglan neither admitted nor denied it, but smiled faintly: "I can swear to God, I really don't know." If my mother really didn't believe me, I couldn't do it. ”

"You ......" Xue gritted his teeth angrily, if his eyes could kill, Ye Qinglan would have been dead more than ten times.

Ye Yuanzhou looked at Ye Qinglan distractedly, his heart was full of bitterness. No, it's not Gu Xiyu! The person who contributed behind the scenes was Gu Xinian......

When the Xue family was angry, no one dared to open their mouths to intercede for Ye Qinglan. Ye Qingfu has the heart and the courage, but Ye Yuanzhou is full of sourness and sadness, the whole person is groggy, and he can't say half a word at all.

Xue Shi took a few deep breaths and squeezed out a few words: "Come in with me!" "Finally, there is still some sanity. If she stood in the verandah and made a fuss with Ye Qinglan, then she would be a complete joke.

Ye Qinglan sneered in her heart, knowing that a vicious battle was inevitable, she didn't bother to pretend to be humble and respectful, so she simply nodded calmly.

Xue glared at her viciously before turning around and entering the house.

Ye Qinglan followed unhurriedly. (To be continued......)
