After the crown prince and Jiang Yuan left the Tongxiang Palace, Shen Lanxin instructed Taxue to be vigilant, because of Li Yuanjing's matter, although Qi Guifei did not catch her handle, she had already determined in her heart that she was the murderer of Li Yuanjing, so she would definitely take action against her.

The moonlight was like water, and the whole night was very quiet. Shen Lanxin stood at the door wearing a middle coat, silently looking at the moonlight in the sky, her expression was gloomy, and the breeze was blowing her hair.

Gao Xu, I don't know what you're doing right now? Originally, Shen Lan wanted to go back to Gao Xu after recuperating from her injury, but the plan did not change quickly, she had to finish the matter of Qi Guifei before she could return to Nanling, thinking of this, she returned to the room, took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter to Gao Xu, and then took off the hollow pearl hairpin on her head, this hollow pearl hairpin was specially bought with Jiang Yuan last time, in order to hide credit, which inevitably aroused suspicion that she rolled up the letter and stuffed it into the hollow pearl hairpin on her head, and asked Li Yuanshi to send someone out the next day.

As soon as Shen Lanxin returned to Tongxiang Palace, she saw Qiu Yue happily walking towards her, "Princess, you are back, the slave has a gift for you!" ”

"Gifts?" She couldn't help but glance at the snow and said with a smile: "What a gift." ”

I saw Qiu Yue take out a pair of embroidered shoes from behind her and hold them in front of her, Shen Lanxin glanced at the pair of embroidered shoes, the embroidery is very good, although it is slightly inferior to Qi Guifei, but it is enough to compare with those embroidery girls in the palace.

Shen Lan looked slightly suspicious, "Why do you want to send embroidered shoes?" ”

Taxue interjected: "She, of course, is to repay the princess for saving your life." ”

Saving? As soon as Shen Lanxin heard it, he knew that she was talking about the Xinyang Palace last time.

She smiled faintly and said, "Shouldn't I save you?" I don't need you to repay me. ”

Qiu Yue looked at Shen Lanxin with affectionate eyes, "I know that the princess doesn't need me to repay, but I just want to repay the princess, in the eyes of others, our slaves are worthless, but you are different, not only do you never treat us as slaves, you also do not hesitate to conflict with Princess Yuanjing for the sake of the slave, the slave is really moved, the slave and the maid really have nothing to do, so the slave and the maid specially embroidered a pair of shoes for the princess, I hope the princess likes it." ”

Shen Lanxin heard her say this, so he took it, touched the pattern on it and said, "Thank you, Qiu Yue, I like it very much, especially the dahlia chrysanthemum above." ”

Qiu Yue was pleasantly surprised, "Really? The slave is afraid that you will dislike it. ”

Shen Lanxin glanced at her and said with a smile: "How can I dislike it, such a special pair of shoes, I'm afraid there is only one pair in the world." ”

Qiu Yue grinned and said, "The slave saw that you like Dahlia so much, so she embroidered it." ”

Shen Lan looked at the pair of shoes with his eyes down, and suddenly his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, "Qiu Yue, do me a favor." ”

After speaking, he pulled Qiu Yue to the dormitory, put the ice silk silk handkerchief in his arms on the table, and said to Qiu Yue: "Can you help me embroider a few words on it?" ”

Qiu Yue Yileng, "Words? What word? ”

Shen Lan thought for a while and said, "Just embroider" the hand of the son and grow old with the son. ”

So, Qiu Yue added these eight words to the silk handkerchief according to her instructions, and after embroidering it, Qiu Yue spread it on the table for Shen Lan to see. "Is that so? Princess? ”

Shen Lanxin looked at it, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "That's right, that's it." After speaking, she took the silk handkerchief in her hand, and the edge in her eyes loomed.

At this time, the people from Fengyi Palace came to spread the word, saying that the queen asked Shen Lanxin to come over for lunch.

Shen Lanxin changed his clothes and went to Fengyi Palace, but when he walked halfway, he saw King Yue coming towards him, originally King Yue had no feelings for this sister who was killed halfway, but now Yuan Jing has a grudge against her because she is crazy.

"Isn't this Princess Yuanxin? Do you seem to be in a good mood lately? "King Yue looks like a yin and yang.

Shen Lanxin stopped in front of King Yue, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay to thank King Yue's blessing." ”

King Yue looked at her as if she had obviously harmed people but pretended to be fine, and it was disgusting to watch.

King Yue's expression suddenly sank, his eyes looked at her coldly, and said, "You are a vicious woman, you have made my sister crazy, I will not let you go." ”

Shen Lanxin frowned slightly, "King Yue, what are these words, what does your sister have to do with me?" ”

King Yue sneered, "Don't be coy here, the concubine told me, you did all this, don't think you can hide it from everyone." ”

Shen Lan sneered in his heart, Concubine Qi is so smart, her joy and anger are invisible, why are her two children talking so unthinking, now think about it, if Li Yuanjing is half as smart as her mother, she will not end up like this.

She glanced at King Yue, but heard the other party say mockingly: "What's the matter, my heart is weak and I can't speak?" ”

Shen Lanxin smiled calmly, "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it?" ”

King Yue looked disdainful and said, "Do you need any proof?" Everyone can see that you are the only one in the palace who has a grudge against my sister, who else would you be? ”

Shen Lan sneered, "There is no evidence to say this, instead of yelling at me here, you should worry more about yourself, don't grow up and don't know who you are." ”

Hearing her words, King Yue couldn't help but be angry, "You're just a slut from the countryside, why do you dare to talk to me like this?" ”

Shen Lan took a step forward in his heart, staring at him coldly, but with a smile on his face, "Just because I don't like you, you say that I am low?" But I don't think you're noble, and you look at your own virtue before talking about others in the future. After speaking, Shen Lan's heart hooked the corners of his lips and walked past him.

King Yue turned his head, stared at her back hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yuanxin, you wait for me, I won't let you go." ”

Taxue glanced at Shen Lanxin and saw that she was not angry because of King Yue's words, but like a nobody.

"Princess, this King Yue is simply too ugly to hear, aren't you angry?" Treadon Snow couldn't help but complain.

Shen Lanxin smiled faintly, and his eyes flashed with a hint of comfort, "What do I have to be angry about, he is just quick to speak, he is the same as Li Yuanjing, he is a straw bag with a strong heart, why should I meet with a straw bag." ”

After hearing this, Tayuki felt that what she said was right, so she didn't speak, just quietly followed her.

As soon as Shen Lanxin came to the queen's bedroom, he saw a table full of dazzling dishes.

Shen Lanxin sat at the table and glanced at the queen, a trace of doubt flashed on her face, "Queen Mother, is it just the two of us?" ”

The queen smiled: "Yes, just the two of us." ”

"But it's too much." Shen Lanxin glanced at the dishes on the table, not to mention more than a dozen dishes.

"Not much, you try this, this is a new juice made in the kitchen, it is made of five kinds of fruits, and there is ice in it, it is very refreshing, try it." With that, the queen pushed a cup of juice in front of her.

Shen Lanxin took it, scooped a spoonful, tasted it, it was sweet and cool, there were grapes, apples and cherries under the tasting, it was delicious, the palace was really a palace, everything could be done, not to mention, even ice, for summer, ice was definitely a luxury, except for the palace, only those wealthy families would have it.

The queen observed her expression and said, "How is it?" Is it delicious? ”

Shen Lanxin nodded: "It's delicious." ”

The queen smiled quietly: "If you like it, it's fine." ”

Then the queen sandwiched some of her favorite dishes for her, and Shen Lan saw that she had been busy with herself, so she said: "Queen Mother, don't always pick up vegetables for me, you can eat too." As he spoke, he also served the queen with vegetables.

The queen chuckled softly, "Okay." ”

After a while, the queen put down her chopsticks and said slowly: "Qi Shirou is not a good person. As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it.

Qi Shirou is Qi Guifei's real name.

Shen Lan's heart was stunned, and her chopsticks tightened, why did the queen mother suddenly tell her this? Did she know anything? She raised her eyes to look at the queen's expression, and saw that her expression was as calm as water, and there was no wave on her face, which made Shen Lan's heart tighten.

Shen Lanxin said tentatively: "Why did the queen mother suddenly talk about this? ”

The queen put down the spoon in her hand and said lightly: "Princess Yuanjing has become crazy, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, as long as Qi Shirou believes that you did it, she will definitely take action against you." ”

Shen Lanxin looked at the queen's gaze, and there was a trace of inexplicable worry in her eyes, and this worry did not come from herself, but Shen Lanxin, and it could be seen that the queen was very worried about Shen Lanxin.

It seems that the queen not only knew that she did this, but even the prince and Jiang Yuan were involved, but she did not reprimand her, which shows that the queen is also full of rejection of Qi Guifei.

Shen Lanxin said softly: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

The queen sighed deeply at this time, "Qi Shirou is very ambitious, and she is very good at tricks, otherwise your father would not have made her pregnant before the wedding ceremony." ”

Her words made Shen Lanxin feel quite surprised. Why did the Queen Mother say that? Wasn't it love at first sight for her father? ”

"Love at first sight?" The queen sneered, "Other people don't know about this palace, but your father and the emperor know too well about this palace, he has always been a very polite person, no matter how much he likes someone, it is impossible to do something like that with Qi Shirou when he sees her for the first time." ”

When the queen said this, her words were full of infinite contempt, and it seemed that the queen hated Qi Guifei to the extreme.

Shen Lan was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, "First sight? Does the queen mother mean that the father and concubine Qi never knew each other before this? ”

The queen shook her head, her expression indifferent, "I never knew it, and I never saw it, not to mention that your father would never do anything with her during the death of the emperor." ”

Shen Lanxin opened his mouth and said incredulously: "During the death of the first emperor? "Oh my God, she frowned and felt that the more she listened, the more ridiculous she felt,

The queen knew what was on her mind at a glance of her expression, but it wasn't over yet.

So the queen continued: "I remember that day was the birthday of Mrs. Qi, your father was invited by Lord Qi to go to the banquet, that night the palace waited for him all night, but the next day he came back with a very depressed look, so under my questioning, he said that he had something that should not have happened with Qi Shirou when he was drunk, I was deeply saddened after hearing it, but I felt that the matter had come to this point and could not be changed, but at that time I smelled wine on him, I also vaguely smelled a special fragrance. ”

Shen Lan was puzzled: "What fragrance?" ”

The queen shook her head: "At that time, I didn't know what kind of fragrance it was, until Qi Shirou entered the mansion a month later, I could often smell this fragrance from your father, so I secretly stole some from her room, and after checking it, I found out that the spice contained aphrodisiac things, so it is not difficult to explain why your father did that day." ”

Shen Lanxin was surprised: "So, what ......is the eight-carrying sedan chair?" ”

The queen said lightly: "It was your father who felt sorry for Qi Shirou and did that." ”

Shen Lanxin couldn't help but suddenly realize that the whole thing was like this, "No wonder Concubine Qi's grace is so strong, it turns out that she relies on spices to capture people's hearts." ”

"Then you didn't tell your father, and he didn't find out?"

The queen glanced at her, smiled faintly, shook her head, and said, "What do you think can happen after this palace says it?" She was already pregnant and became a side concubine. ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect the queen to be so open-minded, and if she wanted to be an ordinary person, she couldn't help but sue her husband for a long time, and then make a big fuss, but the two people who love each other will have a dislike because of this, so that others can take advantage of it, and the queen did this, it is obvious that she has long understood the purpose of Concubine Qi entering the mansion.

She looked at the queen and couldn't help admiring her, only to hear the other party continue: "I remember the year she entered the mansion, someone gave your father a palm-sized kitten, the kitten was white, and it looked extremely cute, Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi liked it at the same time, but your father thought that Concubine Qi was pregnant and not suitable for pets, so he gave the cat to Concubine Chen." Concubine Chen was naturally very happy to get the cat, but the next morning the cat died at her door covered in blood, and the tragedy was extremely terrifying. ”

Shen Lanxin trembled after hearing this, and felt creepy, it seems that although the queen mother knew that Qi Guifei was ruthless, she didn't seem to know that Qi Guifei sent Guo Zheng to assassinate them back then, since she didn't know, don't tell her, she didn't want the queen mother to participate in their revenge plan.

After lunch, Shen Lan absentmindedly returned to Tongxiang Palace, it turned out that he misunderstood his father, thinking that he was greedy for beauty, now it seems that Qi Guifei is not only a ruthless person, but also a cunning person, who has already been secretly married to others, but uses tricks to lure his father to the bait, intending to get rid of the queen mother and replace her, she is really a good and vicious woman.

When night fell, the whole palace looked very bright under the moonlight, and several girls in Tongxiang Hall were talking and laughing at this time, and everyone couldn't sleep, so they all sat and chatted in the courtyard.

At this time, the palace maid of Tongxiang Hall walked over with a box in her hand.

"Princess, someone has sent something."

Shen Lanxin glanced at the box in her arms and wondered, "Who sent it?" ”

The palace maid replied: "The person who came said that it was sent by the emperor." ”

Father? What will her father give her at such a late hour? "Bring it to me."

The palace maid carefully handed the box to her, Shen Lanxin checked it, it was not very heavy, she put the box on the stone table, opened it and looked, suddenly a flower snake as thick as an arm came out of it, opened its mouth and bit her, Shen Lanxin screamed in fright, avoided it, stepped on the snow Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "Qiuyue, protect the princess." At the critical moment, the flower snake raised its body and was about to attack Shen Lanxin, but it was cut in two by a long sword from Taxue.

Qiu Yue stood in front of Shen Lanxin, her face turned white with fright, and she looked at the flower snake that was cut in two in horror.

Treading Xue asked in surprise: "Princess, are you okay?" ”

Shen Lan looked at the dead flower snake on the ground in shock, if she hadn't been by her side at that time, I'm afraid she would have been bitten to death by the poisonous snake, and she felt a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Qiu Yue was frightened: "Princess, isn't this something sent by the emperor?" How can it be a poisonous snake? ”

Shen Lan was shocked, and said coldly: "It seems that someone is pretending to be in the name of my father, and the purpose is to ask me to personally open this box so that the poisonous snake can bite me to death." ”

When Qiu Yue and Taxue heard this, their faces changed.

Then he stepped on the snow and split the snake into several pieces, and finally threw it into the pond and fed the fish.

Qiu Yue helped Shen Lanxin back to the dormitory, Shen Lanxin sat quietly on the bed, it seems that someone can't bear it anymore and wants to get rid of her, but who will this person be? Is it Qi Guifei or ...... King Yue?

Thinking about it, she fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, she was awakened by the screams outside, "Gone water, gone water......"

The place where the fire caught fire was Shen Lanxin's dormitory, and at first it was just a fire in the corner of the wall, but the turning kung fu fire spread to the window, and the entire dormitory was burned in a short time. Shen Lanxin suddenly got up and hurriedly rushed out, but the fire was so great that even all the curtains in the dormitory were lit.

There was a mess outside the door, and everyone put out the fire one after another, but the fire was too big, Qiu Yue couldn't get close, so she could only shout outside the door: "Princess, princess ......, I didn't see Shen Lanxin's response after shouting for a long time, and Qiu Yue was about to break in in a hurry...... At that moment, the sound of snow treading came from behind her.

"Get out of the way." After saying that, he stepped on the snow and rushed into the fire.

And Shen Lan's heart was in a panic, she put on a quilt and rushed towards the sea of fire, just when she thought she was going to rush out, who knew that a beam fell, not only blocking the way out, but also her leg was smashed, at this time, Treading snow rushed into the house......

At this time, the prince rushed to the Tongxiang Palace, saw that the main hall was already in a sea of fire, and asked in surprise: "Where is the princess?" ”

Qiu Yue exclaimed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the princess is still inside......"

The prince was so shocked that he ran to the fire without even thinking about it.

Qiu Yue saw that the fire was too fierce, and the entire dormitory was caught in the fire, so she hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't go, it's too dangerous inside!" ”

"Let go!" The prince broke Qiu Yue's hand, and before he could reach him, he was smoked back by the fierce fire, and the prince subconsciously blocked it with his hand, revealing a look of eagerness of 120,000 points.

At this time, Shen Lan's life and death were unknown, and the people outside couldn't get in, as if everything was frozen at this moment.

Guo Zheng, who was hiding not far away, hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of a gloomy smile, "I let you escape last time, and I won't burn you this time." ”

At this time, the fire in front of him has become bigger and bigger, and the firefighters continue to pour water into the fire, but it is also a drop in the bucket.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the flames had already rushed into the air, illuminating the entire Tongxiang Palace, Qiu Yue was so frightened that she sat on the ground with a miserable white face, her eyes were full of tears, and she muttered to herself: "Princess......"

The prince stood there stupidly, motionless, his fists already clenched.

At this moment, Treading Xue suddenly rushed out of the fire with a quilt that had already caught fire, carrying Shen Lanxin.

The prince was shocked, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally stiff face.

Qiu Yue saw that the snow finally rescued Shen Lanxin, and shouted, "The princess is out." ”

Taxue came to the prince panting with Shen Lan on his back and put her down.

"Sister, how are you?" The prince looked at Shen Lanxin's dirty appearance and said worriedly.

Shen Lanxin shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I have burns on my leg, and then I looked at Treadxue, "Are you okay?" Snow? ”

Taxue shook her head and said, "Don't worry, princess, I'm fine." ”

The prince hurriedly checked the injury on Shen Lanxin's leg, fortunately, the injury was not deep, and his hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Qiu Yue cried and laughed happily, "Princess, it's great that you're okay, the slave thinks you're burned to death." Qiu Yue couldn't help crying as she spoke.

Shen Lanxin sneered: "If it weren't for the snow suddenly rushing in, I'm afraid I would really be burned to death." ”

Guo Zheng's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and this time it was his turn to clench his fists, and disappeared into the night after a while.

The prince hugged Shen Lanxin back to the side hall, at this time the emperor and the queen learned that the Tongxiang Hall was on fire and immediately rushed over, and when they came to the Tongxiang Palace, the fire in the main hall had been extinguished, like a ruin.

Qiu Yue was helping Shen Lanxin to bandage the wound on his leg, and the emperor and queen hurriedly walked in.

As soon as she stepped into the door of the side hall, the queen stepped forward quickly, came to Shen Lanxin's bedside, and said with a worried face: "Xin'er, you are worried about dying in the palace." As he spoke, he reached out and held Shen Lanxin's hand.

Shen Lanxin smiled slightly: "Queen Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The queen frowned, looking at the wound, her eyebrows were full of distress, "Are you okay?" The legs are burned like this. ”

Immediately afterwards, the emperor's voice also came, and he was shocked and angry: "What the hell is going on? Why is it a good misfire? ”

When Qiu Yue heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave and maid don't know what's going on, the first half of the night was fine, and the slave and maid went to the thatched house, and when they came back, they saw that the princess's bedroom was on fire." ”

At this time, Taxue walked in from outside, and said with a solemn expression: "Princess, the slave maid found traces of fire oil in the corner of the main hall. ”

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately changed, "Fire oil? Are you saying that someone deliberately set the fire? ”

The queen, Shen Lanxin and the prince couldn't help but glance at each other, although they were surprised on their faces, they also knew who the murderer of the arson was.

The emperor was furious, "How can this be reasonable, dare to set fire to the palace, I must find out." ”

The queen's tears were already rolling in her eyes, and she cried appropriately at this time, "Your Majesty, Xin'er has just returned to the palace, and someone is going to deliberately murder her, if the emperor finds out the arsonist, he will be severely punished." ”

The emperor said with a heavy face: "If I find out who set the fire, I must dismantle him in eight pieces." ”

At this time, Prince Li reminded: "Father, now that my sister's Tongxiang Hall has burned down, it is better to move her to another palace." ”

The emperor's face returned to the same as before, and he sighed lightly: "This is nature. He thought for a moment and said, "Then move to the Zixia Palace, which is close to my Chongyang Palace, and I want to see who dares to harm you." ”

Shen Lan said lightly: "Thank you, father." ”

The queen glanced at the emperor at this time and said, "Your Majesty, it's already late, since Xin'er is fine, you can go back and rest quickly, tomorrow will be early." ”

Shen Lanxin also said: "Yes, father, the son is fine, you can go back and rest." ”

The emperor saw that Shen Lan's heart was fine, so he said, "Okay, you can rest and I will come to see you tomorrow." After saying that, the emperor turned around and left.

After the queen deliberately separated the emperor, she looked at the injury on Shen Lan's heart and leg, and said in pain: "Does it hurt." ”

Shen Lanxin shook his head and barely squeezed out a smile, "It doesn't hurt." ”

It's false to say that it doesn't hurt, such a heavy beam fell from above and smashed into her leg, it's strange that it doesn't hurt, it's just that she is enduring it, because she doesn't want the queen to worry.

The queen said angrily: "It seems that this fire must have been done by Qi Guifei. ”

The crown prince sneered: "Who else but her?" ”

Shen Lanxin's face was as calm as water, and he said lightly: "There is also King Yue." With that, she looked at the two of them.

"King Yue?" When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the queen.

Shen Lanxin nodded and said: "Well, I saw King Yue before I went to my mother's harem, because of Li Yuanjing, he already hates me now, and in the evening, I was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake, so I don't rule him out this fire." ”

The prince's eyes were full of contempt, and he said angrily: "If there is really a mother, there must be a son, but I didn't expect King Yue to be so ruthless like her mother." ”

The queen's expression was dazed, and she advised: "It seems that Xin'er, you have to be more careful in the future." ”

Shen Lanxin sneered, and his eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, since they are all here to die, then let's not be polite to them, since they are the first year of junior high school, then we will be fifteen." ”
