"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the queen is auspicious."

"No need to be polite, get up quickly."

The queen didn't seem to be affected by the matter of the concubine, she seemed to be in a good mood, and was trimming a pot of flowers on the table with scissors, and humming a little song in her mouth.

"You're here just in time, come and help Bengong take a look, how to repair this pot of flowers to look good."

Ruan Wanwan didn't understand what the queen meant, so she had to honestly step forward and take a closer look at the pot of flowers, and then took the scissors and cut off a flower branch that was too dazzling with a "click".

"The concubine thinks it's better."

The queen smiled and nodded: "This flower branch is too crooked, it should have been cut a long time ago, but in addition to it, there is another branch to be cut, which one do you think?"

Ruan Wanwan continued to look at the pot of flowers, but she couldn't see it, let alone understand the meaning of the queen.

"The concubine is stupid."

The queen did not speak, but smiled and took the scissors, and moved the scissors on a branch that was not very obvious.

Ruan Wanwan looked at the pot of flowers, and it was indeed much more pleasing to the eye than just now.

"Flower branches are the same as people." The queen smiled: "The eldest prince and the concubine are like the first flower, crooked and obvious, everyone can see it, but it's too late, the most important thing is those who are hiding in the shadows, you not only have to find them in time, but also deal with them in time, otherwise, when they grow up to be unfavorable to you, it will be too late."

Ruan Wanwan suddenly understood something, the queen was reminding her.

"The mother is wise, the concubine will be careful."

"Be careful of Xiao Luxi, watch her, don't let her contact the concubine."

"The concubine understands." Ruan Wanwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it turned out that the queen mother had long known that Xiao Luxi had a problem, and it seemed that her previous suspicions were correct.

But Bei Liangye was so sluggish for some reason, not only was he defenseless against Xiao Luxi, but he also stopped himself from investigating.

As soon as she thought of this, Ruan Wanwan was about to get angry, so she shook her head and told herself not to think about it.

After coming out of the palace, Ruan Wanwan did not go back to the prince's mansion directly, but went to the restaurant and called the maid for questioning, this maid was the eyeliner she had planted on Xiao Luxi's side before.

"What has Concubine Xiao done these days, who have she met, and I will report it to you in 1510."

"Yes."

The maid told Ruan Wanwan everything she had discovered, and presented a pamphlet with more detailed records.

Ruan Wanwan read the brochure and realized that Xiao Luxi really planned to enter the palace to visit the concubine, but when she entered the palace, the emperor happened to be on the concubine's side, so she didn't see it, and now she has returned to the prince's mansion.

Ruan Wanwan was not in a hurry to go back, and instructed the maid to continue to stare at Xiao Luxi.

It just so happened that at this time, Jiang Huaiyuan also came to the restaurant, and the two instructed the kitchen to make a table of wine and food to eat and drink slowly, after eating, Ruan Wanwan was busy with the relevant matters of the restaurant, Jiang Huaiyuan naturally helped on the side, until it was almost dark, they left the restaurant and returned to the East Palace slowly.

As soon as the two of them walked into the gate, they saw lights on in the courtyard in front of them, which showed that Bei Liangye had returned.

The little guy guarding the door also said: "Crown Princess, Concubine Jiang, are you back?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just returned. ”

Ruan Wanwan ignored the little guy, went straight to the door, and walked towards her yard.

What if Bei Liangye is back? She didn't want to see him now, let alone talk to him.

met the steward of the back kitchen, and the steward smiled at her: "The crown princess is back, do you want to pass dinner now?"

Ruan Wanwan waved her hand at him: "No need, I have eaten out with Concubine Jiang."

The kitchen steward stopped talking, his face changed back and forth, very exciting, I thought you had eaten, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't eaten yet.

But Ruan Wanwan didn't want to listen to him anymore, strode into his courtyard, and slammed the courtyard door.

The steward had no choice, sighed, and had no choice but to go towards the prince's courtyard, muttering as he went.

"You masters quarrel, can you not embarrass us as subordinates?"

At the same time, Bei Liangye also heard the news and knew that Ruan Wanwan was back, and was about to order his subordinates to pass dinner, but he saw the kitchen steward coming over to talk back.

As smart as he was, he quickly guessed that Ruan Wanwan was angry with him, although he didn't quite know where he provoked her.

It suddenly occurred to him that Ruan Wanwan was being ordered to investigate the matter of smallpox toxin, and he seemed to have mentioned it to him before, and also mentioned Xiao Luxi, and since that day, Bei Liangye has never seen her, let alone spoken to her.

Could it be ......

However, it was only a guess, Bei Liangye did not delve into it, and instructed the kitchen steward: "Since the princess and the princess have already eaten, send the food to my study alone."

"Yes."

The steward agreed, and went down to get busy.

On the other side, Ruan Wanwan pulled Jiang Huaiyuan into her courtyard.

The two chatted and gossiped as they walked, pondering what to eat for the evening's snack, and pushed the door into the house, only to see a familiar figure sitting at the table.

Jiang Huaiyuan paused for a moment: "Concubine Xiao, why are you here?"

Ruan Wanwan smiled: "Yo, there is an uninvited guest."

Xiao Luxi was taking a sip of a cup of tea, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she smiled: "Ruan Wanwan, you are finally back, let me wait."

Xiao Luxi is not ugly, and she is very temperamental, and she has eaten fasting and recited Buddha for many years, which makes her look kind and kind, as if she is a goddess who does not know the fireworks in the world.

However, Ruan Wanwan knew very well in her heart that all this was just the appearance, tearing this veil of kindness, maybe it was a fierce and vicious beast inside.

"Oh? Concubine Xiao is waiting here, is there anything to do with me? ”

"Naturally, there is something, but the crown princess is often accompanied by countless people, which makes the concubine a little unable to open her mouth."

Is this meant to make her take a turn from left and right? Ruan Wanwan was not afraid, and said to Jiang Huaiyuan and the maid: "You go out first, wait for me outside."

Jiang Huaiyuan was very uneasy, and couldn't help but grab Ruan Wanwan's hand, and shook her head vigorously at her.

After getting along during this time, Jiang Huaiyuan has long known Xiao Luxi's personality, although he can't say that he is a Buddha, he is definitely not a kind person.

But Ruan Wanwan is a straightforward and fast-talking person, with no heart, Jiang Huaiyuan is worried that she will suffer.

Ruan Wanwan whispered to her: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll deal with it."

Although Jiang Huaiyuan was worried, she had no other way but to leave the room with the maid, wondering whether to tell the prince.

Ruan Wanwan walked over unhurriedly, sat down opposite Xiao Luxi, and poured herself a cup of tea.

"Concubine Xiao, if you have anything to say, you can say it now."
