In the middle of the night, the two of them were ready to go. Originally, Yifang wanted Zili to go with him, but he thought that someone might visit suddenly, so he still let her stay, and if there was an emergency, he could deal with some uninvited guests.

"Beauty, you haven't told me where we're going?" Teng Ling didn't go out until she quietly climbed over the wall and went out, her mind was still chaotic, and Yifang didn't tell her where she was going in advance, nor did she say how to check.

"I ask you, if you get rid of me and the eldest prince, who will benefit the most?" Yi Fang explained to her as he continued to walk forward.

This is the palace, and unlike the structure in the palace, they have only just arrived here, and they are not familiar with the environment, and this winding road is also very difficult to walk.

"The eldest prince is the first son of the queen, the eldest son, who will inherit the throne in the future. And the beauty is now deeply favored by the king, if this plan to kill two birds with one stone can be successful, the other concubines will benefit the most. "Tengling's analysis is the head.

"Yes, then think about it again, in this Muzhou hunt, in addition to me and the queen, which other concubines came together?"

Teng Ling tilted his head and thought for a while: "There are only Yue Liangren!" ”

"So let's go find her." Yi Fang affirmed, "Wen Jiayi and I are almost the same size, if she has the intention to pretend to be me, she only needs to get an identical set of clothes to wear." Besides, the clothes I wore when I was in the hunting ground today were very ordinary, and I could get similar ones at will. ”

"But the good man has always been cautious, and he must have destroyed the garment." Tengling had been hopeful, but when he thought of this, he began to frown again.

Yifang also sighed inadvertently: "That's true, we can only try our luck." ”

finally touched Wen Jiayi's residence, but saw a few eunuchs guarding the door. is so rigorous, it really seems like doing something wrong. But this door is guarded so tightly, it is difficult to get in, although Tengling has kung fu, but with Yifang is a little powerless.

"Beauty, it's better to wait here, I'll go in and have a look, and if I find something, I'll come back and tell you." Tengling came up with a compromise.

Yifang hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, just do it, then you must be careful, if there is anything, it is important to protect yourself first." ”

"No." Teng Ling answered, and hurried over the wall to enter. She is very skilled in climbing over the wall, and when she was still in the Chang'an Palace in the past, if she didn't have enough for dinner, she would go out over the wall at night to find something to eat, which can be regarded as a familiar road. I didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Yifang found a hidden place to hide, to make sure that no one suddenly came to see him, and then fell into a long wait. The dwellings in the palace were smaller than in the palace, and the courtyard was not large, and the dormitory could be reached within a few walks. But a long time passed, but Teng Ling hadn't come out yet, and he didn't hear any sound inside, and Yifang began to be a little worried.

After waiting for a while, Tengling still had no news, and just as she was about to climb over the wall to take a look, a black man suddenly jumped out. Yifang didn't see it clearly before, thinking it was Tengling, so he walked a few steps towards that side, and when he walked in, he realized that it was not her.

"Who are you?" Yifang stepped back vigilantly, the man covered himself tightly, and he really didn't look like a good kind.

Although the palace is well guarded, it is not as thorough as the palace, and if someone wants to sneak in, it is not too difficult. At this time, Yifang was not only concerned about the danger of this person, but at the same time, he could not reveal his whereabouts from the residence, and he was always in a dilemma. If you call someone to come and arrest the assassin, you will come out without permission during the lockdown, and you will also commit a serious crime.

"Don't be afraid, I've already taken care of things for you." The voice was familiar, but the man left in a hurry.

Yifang's mind was very chaotic at this time, and he didn't put too much thought on that person for a while, since he was gone, the crisis had been resolved. She continued to climb over the wall to get in, and as soon as her hand climbed the wall, Tengling suddenly jumped out.

"Tengling, you're out." Yifang was only slightly relieved at this time.

"I've kept the beauty waiting, but the slave did find something." Teng Ling looked around, pulled the Yifang to avoid the eyes of the eunuchs, and quickly ran back, "It's not safe here, it's better to wait back, and the slave and maid will talk to the beauty in detail." ”

Yifang believed in Tengling, and seeing that she was so vigilant, he also followed her wishes and went back. Wait until you arrive safely at your accommodation before you have time to catch your breath.

"How?" Zili had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw them coming back, he hurried forward.

"Let's go into the house first, let's go inside."

Yi Fang took the two of them into the room and closed the door tightly before signaling Teng Ling to speak.

"Beauty, the slave maid has just entered, and I listened to Yue Liangren talking to the maid next to her, talking about the matter related to the eldest prince's injury today." Teng Ling hurriedly took a sip of water before continuing, "You guessed right, this matter is indeed done by Yue Liangren. ”

"How?"

When the slave and maid first entered, they leaned against the wall and listened for a while. The maidservant said to the beloved, "The matter has been done, and what she is talking about is the rumor that has been spreading." Later, Yue Liangren said that this move really killed two birds with one stone, not only to make the queen mother and the emperor disgusted with you, but also to destroy the eldest prince and make the queen angry. In this way, she can take advantage of the situation and become the favorite concubine of the emperor's side. Teng Ling said everything he heard in one breath.

"Wen Jiayi has good intentions." Yi Fang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about the clothes?" Did she mention the clothes she wore when she pretended to be me? ”

"It's also a coincidence, the slave and maid just listened to it for a while, and Yue Liangren said that he should destroy the clothes quickly, otherwise he would be found out and his efforts would be wasted." Teng Ling showed an annoyed expression, "The slave maid thought at that time that when they destroyed the clothes, the slave maid must find a way to keep the clothes, but there were some changes in it. ”

"What's going on?" Zili was also very nervous when he listened.

The slave poked open a small crack in the window and looked in, and just as he was about to burn the garment, suddenly a masked man jumped in from the window, stretched out his hand, and snatched the garment. Yue Liang and the maidservant girl beside her saw that the masked man was menacing, so they could only cover each other and flee. But to the slave's surprise, the masked man was not in a hurry to chase after him, but hid the clothes under the bed again, and then hurried out and left. ”

"It's really a little strange, Wen Jiayi was silent when she was assassinated, it can be understood that she didn't want that dress to be seen by everyone, but what about the assassin?" Yi Fang lowered his head and thought, and suddenly asked again, "By the way, you said that the man in black put his clothes under the bed and left, what about the clothes?" Did you get it back? ”

This is a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and it is easy to do, but Teng Ling shook his head: "This is even more strange, after the man in black left, the slave maid went into the house to search under the bed, but could not find the clothes anyway." ”

"Didn't he notice you outside, so he deliberately made you think he hid his clothes under the bed, but actually took them with him?" Zili's guess is not unreasonable.

But Yifang shook his head: "No, in fact, when I was waiting outside for Tengling, I happened to meet the man in black. He was empty-handed, and he didn't look like he was hiding anything, and his clothes should not have been carried with him. ”

"Then this is strange, how did the clothes disappear out of thin air?" Teng Ling and Zili looked at each other, very puzzled.

Yifang also pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "I understand, there must be a dark grid under the bed, and the man in black must have hidden his clothes in the dark grid." ”

"Dark?" Teng Ling nodded in agreement, "That's a reasonable explanation, but why did the man in black do this?" If he wanted to help Yue Liang destroy the evidence, he only had to let her burn the clothes, so why bother to snatch it and stuff it into the secret compartment under the bed? ”

"No, he's not doing this to help Wen Jiayi, but to help me." Yifang remembered the familiar voice, and suddenly realized when she had heard it, obviously it was such a familiar person, but she didn't recognize it at once.

"What?" Tengling looked at her suspiciously.

"If the clothes are destroyed, the evidence will be gone, and the matter will be settled, and the charges will be charged to me. If we brought the clothes back, although the evidence was not destroyed, if Wen Jiayi bit back, plus some inflammation, it can be inferred that we made the exact same clothes ourselves to frame her. Yi Fang smiled faintly, "So the best way is to keep the clothes still in Wen Jiayi's room, but not let her destroy them." ”

"I see, you mean that if we go to the Queen Mother and the Acting King, explain the matter of the clothes, and then let the guards search them, we can find them in Yue Liangren's room, and then she will no longer be able to deny it." Zili is right.

Yifang nodded and said, "Yes, the man in black told me before he left that he had already helped me solve the matter." At the time, I thought it was inexplicable, but now I think that's what it means. ”

"But who is the man in black? Why help us? Tengling was still skeptical.

Yifang smiled: "He is a trustworthy person." Since he's already done that, let's do it tomorrow according to his method! ”

Yifang had fully understood at this time that the man in black was Deng Tong. It wasn't clear how he found out about it, but he offered to help, and she accepted his offer. However, the next day in front of the Queen Mother and the Acting King, things did not go as smoothly as they expected.

"Su Meiren, you said that you found a clue, so let's come to the mourning family to listen!" After a day of precipitation, the Queen Mother's mood has eased a lot, and she can speak well at this time.

"Queen Mother, the concubine wants to ask the girl who said she saw the concubine with her own eyes yesterday." After getting the permission of the Queen Mother, Yifang turned to the flower road that had been waiting for a long time, "You said that you saw me, did you see me there with your own eyes, or did you only see people with clothes and bodies similar to me?" Did you see my face directly? Is it the front or only the back? ”

A series of questions were thrown, and Hua Lu thought about it carefully before answering: "It seems that I only saw the back, and the person's clothes are very similar to what the beauty wore yesterday, and the slave subconsciously felt that it was a beauty." ”

"Queen Mother, you also heard that she didn't see the concubine with her own eyes, but just someone who was similar to the concubine and had the same clothes. There are many people here who are similar to concubines, not only concubines, palace maids, but also thinner men, wearing similar clothes, and they can't be distinguished just by looking at their backs. ”

"Hualu, if you think about it carefully, are you really a plain beauty? If there is half a lie, the mourning family will not be able to spare you. The Queen Mother's eyes were very sharp, and Hua Lu trembled with fright.

She pondered for a while, and then said, "It seems, it seems that the man looks a little fatter than the plain beauty." ”

"Really? Are you telling the truth? Liu Heng, who had been sitting next to him for a long time, suddenly asked.

Hua Lu nodded seriously: "Yes, what the slave said is the truth." ”

Looking at Liu Heng's appearance, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Yifang finally found a gap in this strict incident, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "If the queen mother doesn't believe this maidservant, she will take the question that the concubine asked her to ask the eldest prince again." ”

Empress Dowager Bo only thought for a moment, then waved her hand and asked Rong Yang to do what she said. They waited here for a while, and Rong Yang came back to report: "Queen Mother, the slave maid has asked the eldest prince, everything is the same as what Hua Lu said, and the eldest prince only saw someone wearing the same clothes as Su Mei and having a similar body. ”

"Queen Mother, yesterday the concubine was going to participate in the hunting ground, and the clothes she wore were also very simple, if someone wanted to frame them, it was easy to get exactly the same clothes." Yifang kowtowed in front of the Queen Mother, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to find out this person thoroughly, the concubine was wronged, and it was a big deal to harm the eldest prince!" If that person's target is only a concubine, then it doesn't matter, if his target is the eldest prince, if he can't do it, I'm afraid he will have another plan. ”

"What's your idea for finding out this guy?"

Yi Fang waited for this sentence, and she paused for a moment before replying: "If the Queen Mother orders someone to thoroughly investigate the palaces at this time, maybe she can find out the clothes that are exactly the same as the ones the concubine wore yesterday, and whose palace the clothes are in, who is the one who wants to frame the concubine." ”

"Okay, then the mourning family will do what you want." The Queen Mother waved her hand to the eunuchs outside, "You will immediately take people to search the palaces now." ”

"No."

"Queen Mother, if you do such a big thing as searching the palace, if you do it, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people in the palace!" Wen Jiayi couldn't help but say.

"Who dares to be dissatisfied?" As soon as the Queen Mother's eyes turned to her, she had to shut up stupidly.
