Liu Mengyan raised her hand to excuse her salute, and asked quietly: "Mother Gong, do you remember the Xiao Meiren who served in the palace before?" Does she have a younger sister named Xiao Xiaowan? ”

Mother Gong thought for a moment and replied: "The old slave did serve a Xiao Meiren, and she also has a younger sister. ”

Liu Mengyan put down the tea bowl in her hand and continued to ask, "I don't know if Mother Gong still remembers the appearance of Xiao Meiren's sister?" ”

Mother Gong thought about it and said: "The old slave remembers that Xiao Meiren is the best among the many concubines in the palace, but I didn't expect that her sister actually had a better appearance than her. It's a pity that after Xiao Meiren died violently overnight three years ago, her sister also disappeared. ”

Liu Ruli nodded and said, "Don't hide it from your mother, now Xiao Xiaowan is in our house." ”

"This ...... How did she end up here? Mother Gong's eyes were full of surprise.

Liu Mengyan narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Regarding Xiao Meiren, does Mother Gong know where she came from?" ”

Gong's mother hesitated for a long time, and told Liu Mengyan her guess honestly: "Nine times out of ten, Xiao Meiren should be behind Qionghua Palace." The old slave felt that Xiao Meiren's death was also known because of her background. ”

Qionghua Palace? Liu Mengyan really didn't expect Xiao Meiren to be related to Qionghua Palace, so she suppressed the surprise in her heart and continued to listen to Gong's mother.

"About Xiao Meiren, what the old slave knows is that she should have been killed by His Majesty's dove poison back then. The old slave still remembers that day, some of the palace maids who served Xiao Meiren were also given poisoned wine. And Xiao Xiaowan suddenly disappeared that night, and she couldn't find it. ”

Liu Mengyan's eyes flashed, and she secretly looked at Gong's mother, and said, "Concubine Ben is curious about how her mother escaped back then?" ”

Gong's mother said: "It stands to reason that the old slave, as the mother in charge of serving Xiao Meiren, could not escape death, but God had mercy, and someone saved the old slave at the last moment and gave the old slave a way to live." ”

Liu Mengyan didn't interrupt Gong's mother's memories, and listened to her while wiping her wet tears and said, "It was Chen Guifei who saved the old slave." To tell the truth, the old slave served Chen Guifei in the early years, so when the incident happened, she begged her mother with a glimmer of hope. ”

That makes sense, Liu Mengyan nodded.

Mother Gong got up and apologized: "Please forgive the princess, the old slave can only talk about this matter, and the rest of the old slave can't go on." ”

Liu Ruli raised her hand and excused her: "Mom, don't worry, this concubine doesn't like to be difficult by strongmen, go down." ”

Mother Gong saw that there was no blame in Liu Mengyan's eyes, so she was relieved to leave the house.

When people went down, Bi Tong couldn't hold back the surprise in her heart and said: "Princess, I didn't expect this Mother Gong to be the old man in front of Chen Guifei." Such an important secret, she is willing to tell it, is this willing to recognize the princess as the master? ”

Liu Mengyan is noncommittal, loyal or unfaithful and depends on the future. However, from this point of view, Chen Guifei is not so ruthless.

At that time, after Yu Fufu finished visiting Guilan Courtyard, she sent the maid who went down to wait, laid out the pen and ink, and drew the topographical map of Guilan Courtyard. Everything is ready only to owe the east wind, hide the topographic map in the sleeve, and wait until the time agreed with Cangyue in the evening, Yu Fufu took the two maids early.

Almost the moment the candlelight flickered, Yu Fufu knew that the moon was coming.

Looking at Senior Sister Cangyue, who had come and gone without a trace, Yu Fufu took out the topographic map of Guilan Courtyard hidden in her sleeve: "Senior sister, when will you start?" ”

Cangyue put away the topographic map and said with a cold expression: "You don't need to ask about this matter, don't forget that your task is to hook up with King Yi and make him bow down under your pomegranate skirt." By the way, the master is quite concerned about this mission, and the junior sister must not disappoint the master. ”

Yu Fufu said coldly: "Senior sister is so concerned, it is better to remove the roadblock in Guilan Courtyard for senior sister." Wouldn't it be too cheap just to teach her, the one in Guilanyuan was too unpopular in her eyes, and the senior sister had better ruin her appearance. ”

Cangyue laughed strangely: "Senior sister's plan is really vicious, King Yi doesn't care about you, so he wants to ruin people's appearance." ”

A trace of displeasure flashed in Yu Fufu's eyes, and she suddenly smiled: "Senior sister, don't you also like His Royal Highness King Xian, do you know that King Xian originally wanted to marry this Liu Mengyan as a side concubine." ”

Cangyue's pupils shrank, and Yu Fufu smiled viciously when she saw this. She knew that Cangyue had always been in love with King Xian, but she had never shown it.

"Senior sister, it's better to ruin this woman's face, so that His Royal Highness King Xian will never be interested in her again." Yu Fufu said.

The moon is gone.

In the Guilan Courtyard, Tuoba Zeyan and Liu Mengyan, who were having dinner, didn't know Yu Fufu's calculations, and the two flirted and scolded for a while, talking about daytime things.

Liu Mengyan took a sip of ginseng soup, and said as if unintentionally: "Your Highness, your little sister Wan specially showed favor to the concubine today, saying that she wanted to serve Her Highness with the concubine!" ”

Tuoba Zeyan has always been nervous, Liu Mengyan frowned, and said, "The princess has promised?" ”

Liu Mengyan wiped the corners of her mouth, put down the soup bowl in her hand and said, "Concubine Ben is not so virtuous, I don't know what His Royal Highness has found these days?" ”

"No, I didn't." Tuoba Zeyan shook his head and said, "Three years ago, on the night Xiao Meiren died, Xiao Xiaowan disappeared. The incident happened suddenly, and at that time, everyone in the palace was in danger because of Xiao Meiren's death, so after three years, everything was impossible to investigate. ”

Liu Mengyan thought for a moment and said: "Your Highness, there is a breakthrough here in the concubine's body. ”

Tuoba Zeyan saw her smile on his chest, and couldn't help but reach out and wrap his hand around her waist, and said in a low voice: "This palace is really curious about where the princess plans to start, tell me quickly." ”

Liu Mengyan turned red and said, "Your Highness, the concubine is talking about something!" ”

"There is nothing more important in the world than at this moment." Tuoba Zeyan glared at him in shame when he saw her, and said, "Okay, princess, please speak." ”

Liu Mengyan glanced over: "This matter is not in a hurry, wait for the concubine to find out, and then report to His Highness." ”

Tuoba Zeyan couldn't help but be close to her, how could Liu Mengyan allow him to mess around like this in front of the maid, and reached out and gently pushed twice. Tuoba Zeyan also knew that his princess was a thin-skinned woman, and he didn't mind retiring from the left and right maids to serve the meal.

Liu Mengyan saw Tuoba Zeyan sending the maid away, afraid that he would trouble herself again, so she didn't wait for him to open her mouth, and took the opportunity to get down to business: "Your Highness, presumably Princess Elilian should be about to arrive in Uzi at this time." ”

Tuoba Zeyan nodded, just thinking that Najib had also gone back, a coldness flashed in his eyes and said, "I just don't know if Elilian can persuade her father before Najib returns home." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Mengyan frowned, and took the opportunity to talk about the confusion in her heart: "If Your Highness is afraid that Najib will go back and reverse black and white, and Princess Elilian will fall short, why don't you directly present that secret agreement to the emperor?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan rubbed Liu Mengyan's small hand and patiently explained: "There are indeed some excesses in their secret agreement, but if it is really taken to my father, I am afraid it will not work much." I'm afraid that I will get into trouble, but it will make my father think that I have ulterior motives.

In addition, the queen has many eyes and ears around her father, and when the time comes, she instigates them, saying that she can't be bitten back by their mother and son. So before things are certain, the main hall doesn't want to take this step. ”

Liu Mengyan nodded, understanding Tuoba Zeyan's worries, and then thinking of how carefully he had walked step by step for so many years, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, "Your Highness." ”

Tuoba Zeyan naturally felt the friendship in Liu Mengyan's eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we'll get better and better, won't we?" This road is accompanied by the princess, and the main hall is never lonely. ”

Liu Mengyan nodded, suppressed the mixed emotions in her heart, and said, "Your Highness, have you ever thought that maybe the relationship between the queen and the emperor is not as good as you think." is like Xiao Meiren, who died one night three years ago, can Your Highness know that she was originally the queen's person? ”

"The princess knows more about the affairs of the palace than the main palace?" Tuoba Zeyan said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness has His Royal Highness's method, and the concubine has the way to the concubine. When His Royal Highness's method doesn't work, the way of the concubine may work. Liu Mengyan smiled slightly.

A humble slave like Mother Gong has secrets hidden in her heart even deeper than the hands and eyes of some people in power. They don't dare to divulge some secrets at will, because their lives can be endangered at any time.

Mother Gong can tell Liu Ruli what she wants, and she has already handed herself over to Liu Mengyan.

"Xiao Meiren is the queen's person, and her death is indeed sudden. But couldn't it be that her father got rid of her? Tuoba Zeyan figured it out.

"The concubine thinks so." Liu Mengyan said, "Maybe your little sister is also the queen's person." This is just a speculation about the concubine's body, and it still needs to be confirmed. ”

"She's not the 'little sister' of the main hall, and the main hall still thinks that the princess seems to be a little jealous." Tuoba Zeyan grabbed her waist and landed a kiss on her forehead.

"Your Highness!" Liu Mengyan said lazily.

"There are still some things in the palace, so I won't accompany the princess." Tuoba Ze said.

Liu Mengyan nodded.

When it was all dark outside, Liu Mengyan asked people to go to Gong's mother again to talk.

"Say hello to the concubine." Gong's mother said.

"Mother Gong, come to my side and sit and talk. I treat my mother as an elder. Since Gong's mother has surrendered to the concubine, the concubine will never let Gong's mother down. Liu Mengyan said.

This time, instead of refusing, she walked over and sat down.

"Mother Gong, what do you think of the future of our Highness?" Liu Mengyan asked straight to the point.

Mother Gong was taken aback, she really didn't expect Liu Mengyan to ask like this.

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is smart and quick-witted, and he is only helping." Gong's mother also said straightforwardly.

"Now several princes in the court are fighting for me, fighting openly and secretly. My Royal Highness has no foreign home, and the second does not have many connections in the court. If you can go to the fiefdom to be the king, it is also a good place. Liu Mengyan said.

"Then it depends on His Highness's wishes. It would be good for the princess to be a good helper to His Royal Highness. Gong's mother said.
