Chapter 817: Intricate
Since the emperor has said so, if Lu Cancan continues to resign, the emperor will definitely be unhappy, and Lu Cancan has no choice but to thank him.
After making trouble for a long time, the sky was about to dawn, and the emperor was tired, so he was helped back to rest by Concubine Shu, the queen was grounded, and Yang Qiong was also sent out.
Lin Yi sent Jiang Li and Lu Cancan to the gate of the palace, and he had to lead the forbidden army to search the palace, so there was no way to send Cancan back to the palace.
"You go and do a good errand, I'll send Cancan back." Jiang Li said that although Lin Yi has been reused by the emperor, remember to guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to be frivolous.
Lin Yi nodded and said that he knew, and asked Lu Cancan to rest well after he went back.
Lu Cancan walked out of the palace gate and sat in Jiang Li's carriage, feeling that everything that happened tonight was like a dream, and everything seemed so unrealistic.
Jiang Li and Lu Cancan didn't talk much along the way, until they arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion, Jiang Li sent Lu Cancan off the car, and she said: "Today you can be regarded as narrowly escaped death, but you have to remember what happened in the palace today, don't say anything to outsiders, even to your parents." ”
Although there are occasional rumors coming out of the palace, the most taboo thing in the palace is talking nonsense.
Everything that happened in the palace today was very thrilling, but Jiang Li knew that since the emperor was angry, the tongue of the harem was to be reasoned with after all.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Although Lu Cancan has never lived in the palace, she knows very well in her heart that Jiang Li does not need to worry about herself.
Jiang Li was very satisfied when she saw that Lu Cancan was able to get through at one point, and she asked Lu Cancan to rest well, believing that soon the news of her being named the county lord would spread all over the capital.
Lu Cancan returned to the house, and when Gluli heard that Lu Cancan was back, she approved a piece of clothing and got up and walked out and asked her why she hadn't gone home until now, wasn't the night banquet in the palace already over?
"That's the case, the emperor and the queen asked Lin Yi and the eldest princess to stay and drink a few more drinks, and I also accompanied them for a while, and the eldest princess sent me back just now."
It is a well-known thing that the emperor loves Jiang Li, and Ge Luli didn't think too much about it, so he hurriedly got Lu Cancan some hot water to bathe, and then let her rest.
Removing the hairpin on his head and loosening the bun, Lu Cancan felt a sense of relief.
If I hadn't found the flaw of the palace maid today, the person who died might be myself.
The feeling of being in the palace is walking on thin ice, and even if you are trembling and trying to protect yourself, you are still likely to be in danger.
She closed her eyes, as long as the home was the safest place, she would rather live a simple and happy life with coarse tea and light food, rather than wear gorgeous clothes and beautiful hairpins to worry about every day.
That kind of life is a pain for Lu Cancan, but some people are willing to do it.
Although everyone who saw what happened in Fengzao Palace last night was strictly ordered by the emperor to keep their mouths shut, the news of the queen's grounding immediately spread throughout the palace.
The wind in the palace never stops, and wherever the wind blows, people will think about it.
Cui He combed Concubine Shu's hair bun, Concubine Shu's black hair and sideburns disturbed like silk satin, the emperor liked to let Concubine Shu pill on his knees, with his hands to stroke her hair, so Concubine Shu attached great importance to the maintenance of this green silk.
"Niangniang, many people came to our palace today, wanting to show favor to Niangniang, and those gifts simply filled the treasury."
"Really?" Concubine Shu picked up a ruby hairpin and gestured it on her sideburns, and then changed it to a turquoise step, "It's just that I see that the queen is losing power now and wants to slap me." ”
In the past, no matter how favored she was, the queen was the queen after all, even if the emperor only went to Fengzao Palace for two days a month, the people in the palace still rushed to flatter the queen, after all, she was the daughter of the Yang family, and she was just a woman from a small family.
Cuihe said while helping her fix her hair: "Now everyone knows that you are the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, so naturally you want to please Niangniang, but ......." ”
Seeing that there was no one around, Cui He lowered her voice.
"I heard that General Lin Yilin is now under order to thoroughly investigate the matter related to the assassins, do you think they will find out that the person who actually framed Lu Guinu is us."
Although Concubine Shufei is now beautiful, Cuihe's heart has always been hanging.
The palace maid was bought by Cuihe, and Cuihe asked her to find an opportunity to steal the night pearl on the queen's phoenix crown, and then find an opportunity to lure Lu Cancan over during the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, so that the queen thought that Lu Cancan stole her night pearl.
Concubine Shu played such a big game of chess in order to deepen the hatred of the Lu family and the Lin family against the queen.
The queen also took the bait, but they didn't expect Lu Cancan to be so smart and see through the palace maid's disguise, and they didn't expect that the palace maid would assassinate the emperor.
Concubine Shu glared at Cuihe: "Didn't you just give her some silver?" I didn't leave any other evidence. ”
Cuihe nodded hurriedly, she met her in a secluded place, and there was absolutely no third person who knew about it.
"And what are you worried about?" The incident happened in Fengzao Palace, and everyone knew that the queen didn't like Jiang Li and Lu Cancan very much, and although the emperor didn't say anything about her drugging Lu Cancan last time, he definitely knew about it.
Even if Lin Yi really found out something, it was the queen's fault.
Concubine Shu is good friends with Jiang Li on the surface, but she is just using Jiang Li, if Jiang Li blocks her ambition one day, she will not hesitate to clear the obstacles for herself, let alone Lu Cancan.
She looked at her young and beautiful self in the mirror, if one day she could bring the phoenix crown belonging to the queen, she would be peerless.
Li Yuesheng bent down into the main hall with hot tea and put it next to the emperor.
The emperor was watching the folds, and he threw them on the ground with some irritation, and Li Yuesheng hurriedly picked them all up.
"These ministers are really concerned about my family affairs."
The queen was grounded, and those ministers said that the queen was not at fault and asked the emperor to forgive the queen.
"Tomorrow, you go and send the will of Feng Lu Cancan as the lord of Shouguang County to the Lu Mansion." The emperor took a sip of tea and said to Li Yuesheng, "You go and deliver it in person." ”
Li Yuesheng is the chief eunuch of the emperor's side, and he personally went to announce the decree, but he had a great face.
The emperor knew that many of these ministers had a relationship with the Yang family, and officially because of these people, he could only be grounded in the queen.
