Chapter 528: Turning the Eye
The prince smiled bitterly and sighed again: "This is not yet. Those people in the kitchen were specially selected to come to Fengyi Palace. Basically, they are people who do things safely and reliably. Otherwise, wouldn't the queen mother be worried about eating every day? Therefore, it is really difficult to really cross-examine. I separated them and tortured them one by one. But I can't ask anything. β
Speaking of which, the prince's face was also a little gloomy. It's been busy for most of the night, but I haven't found anything, which is really annoying.
Gu Xinian was not very surprised by such a result, but said lightly: "Among these people, there is always one who is weak-hearted. As long as you continue to investigate, you will always find out. β
No matter how careful the plan is, it will never be seamless, and there will always be clues. As long as you follow it carefully, sooner or later it will come to light.
The meaning of Gu Xinian's words was very clear, and the prince did not pretend not to understand, but immediately expressed his attitude: "Needless to say, this matter must be investigated to the end." "The mastermind behind the scenes is clearly coming for the female dependents of the prince's mansion, Mo Shi is still lying unconscious on the bed, how can he swallow this breath as a dignified prince?
Thinking about it further, this person has already reached out to the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace, and his ability is really terrifying. This time, it was Mo Shi and Ye Qinglan who fell into the trick, in case this conspiracy fell on Queen Gu's head......
The crown prince and Gu Xinian exchanged glances and did not continue.
Empress Gu comforted Ye Qinglan a few words, and told her to recuperate with peace of mind: "...... Don't think about anything now, just rest here for a few days. In terms of food, I have already asked the female officer to keep an eye on it personally, and I will never make another mistake......"
"Auntie." Gu Xinian suddenly interrupted Queen Gu: "Qinglan has also entered the palace for a short time. The nephew wanted to take her home earlier, and hoped that his aunt would approve it. β
β¦β¦ It is clear that there is no trust of the environment in the palace. I don't worry about leaving Ye Qinglan in Fengyi Hall to recuperate.
Empress Gu frowned reflexively, a little unhappy in her heart. But he smiled mildly: "The Ye family has just woken up, and the residual poison in the body has not yet been cleared, so it is better to have a doctor to take care of it." It's not too late to go home when you're well......"
"Please forgive my nephew for being rude." Gu Xinian's face was indifferent, and he didn't feel how hurtful what he was about to say was: "The last time my nephew entered the palace, he solemnly entrusted Qinglan's safety to his aunt. At that time, my aunt also agreed to my nephew very carefully. But in just a few days, something like this happened. The nephew really didn't worry about keeping Qinglan in the palace, it was better to go back to the house to recuperate. β
Queen Gu was choked and speechless, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable.
Seeing this, the prince was trying to play a round. Unexpectedly, Shen Qiuyu took the first step to open his mouth: "It's really inappropriate for Cousin Gu to say this." After yesterday's incident, the queen mother supported her sick body, and ordered someone to ask the imperial doctor to personally interrogate those people in the kitchen, and waited until His Royal Highness the prince came down before resting. Today, for the sake of the meal of the crown princess and her cousin-in-law, I specially called the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room to advise. The queen mother's thoughts, the cousin didn't appreciate it, and insisted on taking the cousin-in-law home. Doesn't this chill the heart of the queen mother? β
She said this sincerely, and completely stood in the position of Queen Gu, and said what was inconvenient for the prince and Queen Gu to say. The prince was very relieved to hear this. Even Queen Gu was slightly moved.
Gu Xinian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a mocking arc: "Why does Concubine Shen want Qinglan to stay in the palace so much?" β
These words are very sharp and sharp, and they imply a lot of unspoken suspicions.
Shen Qiuyu's smile froze. The pupils shrank rapidly, and then squeezed out a look of grievance, and there was a faint glint in his eyes: "Cousin Gu said so." Could it be that the suspicion is on me? I stayed in my room yesterday, and none of the maids around me left without permission. Besides. I didn't enter the palace very often, and I never interacted with anyone in the kitchen. I don't even know any of them. To put it mildly, even if I had this motive, I would never have the opportunity or means to do so. Besides, the crown princess has a kind temperament and has always been generous to me. I have always respected the crown princess, and it is impossible for me to have such a rebellious mind......"
As he spoke, his eyes were already red. But he forcibly held back his tears, which was extremely moving. Enough to move all men.
Of course, among all of them, Gu Xinian is not included. A hint of sarcasm and mockery flashed in his eyes, and his expression remained cold.
The prince originally had a trace of suspicion in his heart, and when she was so wronged, he not only got rid of his suspicions, but also took the initiative to defend Shen Qiuyu: "This matter really has nothing to do with Yu'er." Last night, Yu'er also kept a night for Mo's family. β
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "I just asked casually, why is Concubine Shen so excited?" β
Shen Qiuyu gritted her teeth aggrievedly and didn't say anything, just glanced at the prince.
The prince was immediately provoked to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, coughed and said, "Cousin, just talk about it casually, you don't have to take it too seriously." There's nothing to do with you here, so you can step back first. β
Shen Qiuyu responded softly, and sure enough, she retreated. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Gu Xinian again.
The prince saw it in his eyes, and his mood was inexplicably happy and relaxed.
Ye Qinglan saw the subtle changes in the prince's expression and the pleasure in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Shen Qiuyu's hand is really powerful, it is simply tailor-made for the stingy and jealous prince. What could be more revealing than arguing with Gu Xinian in public? Even if the prince still has a knot in his heart, it will disappear after this incident!
Thinking about it further, Mohs poisoning is deeper, and he is still not awake. Originally, the foundation was weak, and after such a toss, it is difficult to say how the body will be in the future. As for Concubine Lin, the suspicion of poisoning and framing the crown princess has completely fallen on her head. Even if the suspicion is cleared in the future, it will be a big loss of vitality. In the future, the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion seems to be Shen Qiuyu's world again!
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Shen Qiuyu is definitely the biggest winner in this poisoning incident! If this poisoning had nothing to do with Shen Qiuyu, Ye Qinglan was the first to believe it. But everything must pay attention to evidence, and now that Shen Qiuyu has completely skimmed everything, there is no evidence to prove that she has anything to do with this matter. Relying on speculation and conjecture alone will definitely not be able to help Shen Qiuyu for half a point......
With the interlude just now as a buffer, the atmosphere has eased a little. Gu Xinian looked at Queen Gu again, but this time his tone was much softer: "Auntie, my nephew didn't doubt what you meant. However, when such a thing happened, Fengyi Hall was on the cusp again, and people came and went, so it was not suitable for quiet recuperation. Moreover, the crown princess is still unconscious and needs to be taken care of. There is also a thorough investigation of the inside story behind the poisoning incident, these things will fall on my aunt, who has not fully recovered, and I am afraid that she will not be able to cope with it. If Qinglan stays any longer, it will add to the burden on her aunt. It's better for her nephew to take her back to the house, there are so many people in the house, and it is more convenient to take care of her. β
This euphemism was much more pleasing to the ear than just now, Queen Gu groaned slightly, and finally nodded in response: "What you said also makes sense." If that's the case, then I won't stop it. You take advantage of the dark to take the Ye family out of the palace! I will instruct Imperial Physician Qin to go to the Dingguo Mansion once a day. β
Gu Xinian finally persuaded Empress Gu and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yue's expression moved, and she was about to speak, when Queen Gu looked over with a smile: "Zhang, you have also lived in the palace for a long time. Although I don't say it, I must be homesick in my heart. Let's go home with Xi Nian and them! β
Zhang Yue was overjoyed, but said in his mouth: "My aunt's body has not healed yet, and there are so many trivial matters to take care of in the Fengyi Palace. The nephew and daughter-in-law should stay and help the aunt with some chores! β
Queen Gu was naturally comfortable when she heard this, and said with a pleasant smile: "It's rare that you have a piece of your heart, and my aunt understands it." However, even if I can't get busy, there are still Qi'er and Shen staying in the palace to help me! You don't have to worry about this, just go home with peace of mind. In the future, when I have free time, I will come to the palace to accompany my aunt. β
Zhang Yue responded obediently.
When it comes to currying favor and selling well, Ye Qinglan will never lose to Zhang Yue. However, Gu Xinian had already made it clear that she insisted on going back home, and it would be too hypocritical for her to say any more polite words, so she simply didn't say anything, just said with a smile: "Auntie, your body hasn't healed yet, so you can't bother too much." In the future, you can rest more and take care of your body. β
Empress Gu nodded with a smile. After so many days of getting along day and night, she and Ye Qinglan have indeed cultivated some feelings. Not to mention anything else, at least the reluctance at this moment is genuine: "I am really reluctant to let you go." In the future, if you have time, you will definitely come to the palace often. β
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile.
After Ruixue and Ruomei got the news, they hurriedly began to pack their luggage. The things I brought back before I came were all brought back as they were, as well as the jewelry, jade and clothing and jewelry given by Queen Gu, even if there were two palace maids to help, it would take an hour to pack up.
Because Ye Qinglan's body was still very weak and not suitable for walking, Queen Gu also specially ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan chair and carried it all the way to the palace gate.
The moment she walked out of the palace, Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Having lived in the palace for so long, she didn't have much affection for this majestic and gorgeous palace. Now that I can finally leave the palace, my mood is suddenly relaxed.
Gu Xinian saw a smile on the corner of her lips, and there was a smile in her eyes: "Lan'er, let's go home!" β
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and smiled: "Okay, let's go home together." βββ
There are things today and tomorrow, only one watch, and after these two days, it will be restored fΓΉ two more ~ o(n_n)o~ (to be continued......)
