Chapter 185: Incident
The hair is not completely wet, but when you go out like this, when you are blown by the wind, the cold and heat collide, I am afraid that it will be even worse. An Lan was wringing out the water on the tips of her hair, and after the maid who was talking withdrew, another maid came in, holding a vermilion big wool cloak in her hand, which was sent by Li Huairong.
In any case, she was a member of the Changxiang Palace, and she was brought directly by Gongzi Jingyan, and Li Huairong didn't dare to let her have anything happen to her. An Lan thought about it, and understood Li Huairong's scruples, and at the same time made her feel a little at ease. After thanking her, she went through the matter again while she was dressing up.
Why did the county lord of Danyang fall into the water?
The probability of accidentally falling is too low, and that is the work of others, but ...... At that time, who else would there be in that vicinity besides her and the county lord of Danyang? Before the county lord of Danyang came out, she had been standing there for a while, and she didn't see anyone else.
It couldn't be that she was hiding there in advance, and the other party couldn't have calculated that she was going that way, that is, when she was walking with the county lord of Danyang, someone secretly followed her?
An Lan shuddered suddenly, if this was the case, the timing of that person's search was simply too good. Just pick her to leave the sight of the county lord of Danyang, so the most important thing at the moment is, did the county lord of Danyang see that person at that time? If she saw it, she would not be suspicious, if she didn't see it, then, even if the county lord of Danyang didn't suspect her, Mrs. Qingyao wouldn't believe her lightly.
However, why did you attack the Lord of Danyang? Is it really just to blame her?
This is not the intrigue of Yuanxiangyuan, the identity of the county lord of Danyang is there, if the county lord really has a case. It was an accident when I was alone with her again. When the time comes. She will never be the beneficiary of this matter, but the victim.
Even if Jingyan Gongzi has the heart to protect her, if he is afraid, there is nothing he can do...... Thinking of this, she suddenly snorted again. The county lord of Danyang had an accident in Jinyuyuan, and Jinyuyuan was arranged by Jingyan Gongzi Li Huairong and his wife to live in, if the county lord really ...... Whether it is Li Huairong and his wife, or Jing Yan's son. will inevitably be implicated.
An Lan felt that her hands quickly turned cold, the influence of the Tianshu Palace in the south was inseparable from the help of the Li family, and in the same way, the importance of Prince Jing Yan to the Tianshu Palace was unknown to everyone. If the county lord of Danyang really drowned just now, then not only her, but also the entire Tianshu Palace, would be hit hard!
Others don't know the situation of the Tianshu Palace. But she, after going through the previous few things. I have vaguely felt that there is a great crisis there. And in such a situation, what will be the consequences if you are hit hard from the outside?
An Lan even felt that her body was cold, such a deep calculation, such a powerful step!
"Girl, the old woman came and brought the girl over." Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly walked in with a sharp-eyed mother-in-law, stared at her and said, "Don't let Madame wait impatiently." ”
She didn't know the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law didn't say which lady it was, but An Lan knew that it must be Mrs. Qingyao.
After putting on the hat on her cloak, she exhaled lightly and nodded.
When she got out of the room, the woman looked at her a few times, but said nothing. An Lan's heart sank, and from that look, she felt that this trip was not just as simple as asking questions.
So after following a few steps, An Lan asked in a low voice, "May I ask Mama, how is the county lord?" ”
The woman glanced at her again, and said expressionlessly: "The county lord is a person with good fortune, so he should be fine." ”
An Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "Great." ”
The woman didn't look at her again, as if she hadn't heard this, and her steps didn't even slow down the slightest.
An Lan's heart sank again, it seemed that Mrs. Qingyao really suspected her.
However, Mrs. Qingyao had just seen her go into the water to rescue the county lord of Danyang, even if she was now in competition with the county lord, Mrs. Qingyao should not be so arbitrary, suspecting that she had done it. Or, is it just that this mother-in-law is used to having a stern expression, and she is also thinking too much?
Hoping so, An Lan couldn't help but clench her fists.
However, when she followed the woman into the hall and saw the golden finch kneeling in the middle of the hall, her brain exploded, and almost instantly, she understood why Lady Qingyao was suspicious of her.
There was still Xiulan standing next to the golden finch, and there were several maids waiting on both sides of the hall, all looking nervous. Mrs. Qingyao sat in the first seat, her eyes were cold, and Ye Qingqing was on the side, her expression was a little dazed. Ye Qingqing stood on Ye Ling's right, Ye Ling looked at the golden finch with a look of disbelief on his face.
The mother-in-law who led An Lan in seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't understand, so she specially introduced Mrs. Qingyao as a first-class person, and she should kneel down and salute when she saw her. An Lan did not hesitate, and after taking off the hat of the cloak, she knelt down and kowtowed: "An Lan, the waiter of the Changxiang Palace, has seen Madame." ”
"You are An Lan." Mrs. Qingyao looked at her, "The little incense slave who worked as an errand in Yuanxiang Courtyard before? ”
"Yes." An Lan lowered her eyes, because she was kneeling next to the golden finch, so when she saw the golden finch's hand trembling a little, her heart couldn't help but tremble a little. I thought that Mrs. Qingyao called her over to ask about the fall of the county lord of Danyang, but this opening mentioned Yuanxiangyuan, indicating that her worries were true, and most of the golden finches were discovered.
Mrs. Qingyao said again: "Do you recognize the girl next to you?" ”
An Lan turned her head to look at the Golden Finch, who also raised her face at this time and looked at her. At this time, so many people were staring, it was naturally impossible for them to talk, and they couldn't even make any meaningful eye contact, but the golden finch bit her lower lip hard the moment she raised her face. Many people will subconsciously do this action when they are afraid, so even if everyone sees it now, no one pays attention to it, and naturally no one knows that this action is between the two of them, which means that they don't say anything.
"Mrs. Hui, I recognize." An Lan retracted her gaze and looked at Mrs. Qingyao, "She is the incense envoy of Yuanxiang Yuan, her name is Golden Finch." ”
Mrs. Qingyao continued: "I heard that when you were in Yuanxiang Courtyard, you were very good, the two were almost inseparable, and no matter what they did on weekdays, they would discuss with each other. ”
An Lan said: "Yes." ”
"After you were promoted to the head of the incense envoy in Yuanxiangyuan, she worked under you on an errand, so she listened to you no matter what happened." There was no anger in Mrs. Qingyao's voice, but the question after sentence was a little breathless.
An Lan said: "We are all on errands in the Xiangyuan, but the errands are not the same, but the errands are all the errands of the Xiangyuan, no one dares to be perfunctory, and they should obey the arrangement." ”
Mrs. Qingyao looked at her for a while, and said in her heart, she is really a not simple girl, at this time, she is still so calm.
Ye Qingqing, who was watching from the side, was a little uncomfortable, and seeing An Lan still kneeling there, he said softly: "Sister Cui, why don't you let this girl get up first." ”
At this time, the hall was very quiet, so even if Ye Qingqing's words were very soft, the people next to her could still hear them clearly. At least, the maids on both sides heard it, but Mrs. Qingyao looked at An Lan coldly as if she hadn't heard anything: "In this way, after you leave Yuanxiang Courtyard, what she does has nothing to do with you?" ”
An Lan was silent for a while before raising her face: "I don't know, what did she do?" ”
Mrs. Qingyao looked at the mother-in-law on the side, and the mother-in-law understood, stepped forward, and pointed out that the golden bird took advantage of the chaos to enter the room of the county lord of Danyang and steal the valuables of the county lord of Danyang. Even the county lord's things dare to covet and steal, and such crimes are enough to send her to prison and exile for thousands of miles.
Really...... An Lan's face was slightly pale, and she turned her head to look at the goldfinch, who suddenly raised her face, looked at the woman and said, "I said I didn't take it, I didn't have time to take it, what did you ask me to return!" ”
Mrs. Qingyao said coldly: "How can you quibble and give me a slap." ”
The palm that came out of this palace was not a slap with a hand, but a wooden board about a finger thick and slapped on the mouth, and in a few strokes, the entire lip could be swollen and cracked, the gums would bleed, and then both sides of the face would be swollen. Some of them are heavy, and they can even knock out their teeth, so An Lan saw that the woman took out the special thing for the palm mouth from her sleeve, and stood up and blocked in front of the golden finch: "Slow!
