While he was in doubt, Wen Hao smelled a burst of fragrance again, the same as the fragrance on the ingot of silver! It seems that that rumor is inseparable from the He family.

The maid wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Yilan's fierce look. The maid was obviously a little afraid of He Yilan like this, so she shrank slightly and shut up.

Wen Hao noticed it, and thought to himself: It seems that the concubine of the He family is not as gentle and virtuous as rumored by the outside world, and a look can make her maid afraid, which may be just an illusion.

Wen Hao saw that the result was almost over, so he didn't stay long, said "goodbye" and left.

Prime Minister's Office.

Han Xiangmo recuperated at home for a few days, and was finally able to get up and walk, but he couldn't sit down yet, and even if he sat down, he had to put a thick cushion on the stool.

Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Han Xiangmo would rather lie on the bed and get moldy than get up and walk around.

However, in the past three days, there have been some signs of rumors sent by Prime Minister Han Qian to investigate. Han Qian didn't hide this matter from Han Xiangmo, so Xiu Tao easily got the latest information on the investigation.

After Xiu Tao understood, she came over excitedly to tell Han Xiangmo.

"Miss, the rumors that the master sent someone to investigate seem to have progressed. It is said that the He family has a little relationship with the household department, Miss, could it be He Yilan, the daughter of the He family?"

Han Xiangmo was not much surprised by this result, just nodded lightly, and said, "You tell me the specific investigation process, I can have a judgment." ”

Xiu Tao said: "It seems that I found a maid of the He family, and I don't know how to be a slave." However, that maid seems to be He Yilan's personal maid. ”

"It seems that this matter is really inseparable from He Yilan, little peach, you continue to inquire, and when the time comes, just tell me the final result." ”

Xiu Tao nodded, but said suspiciously: "Miss, did you suspect Miss He at the beginning, not Miss Ye?"

Han Xiangmo said: "Hmm." She always felt that He Yilan's performance to outsiders was different from her in private.

"Why?" Xiu Tao wondered.

Han Xiangmo said: "I also asked you to agree to this rumor later, but it was only rumored at the beginning that 'His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was molested', and it did not explain who it was." The version of the rumor you told me at the beginning has already been speculated by everyone. Do you think this means that the rumor-monger probably didn't want to make me another protagonist in the rumor?"

Xiu Tao nodded and said, "What is that person's purpose?"

"There were only three people during His Royal Highness the Prince's departure that night, me, He Yilan, and Xia Yiqing. Xia Yiqing likes the son of the historian, which is something that everyone in the capital knows. Naturally, it will not be used as the object of the rumor, and I believe that the person must have taken this into account. In addition, only me and He Yilan are left, no matter who molests the prince, He Yilan and I will appear in everyone's sight. When someone told the prince about this rumor, the prince would inevitably find out about the specific rumor, and the two of us were noticed by the prince. And the prince first suspected who spread this rumor, and it must be me who was already in the rumor! Then He Yilan became the biggest winner among them!"

Xiu Tao still didn't quite understand, and said, "Where did He Yilan win by doing this?"

"The purpose of that dinner is not only for Her Royal Highness the princess to catch the wind and wash the dust, but the queen also has the meaning of looking at her daughter-in-law. Your young lady and I, as the first choice of this crown princess, are naturally stared at by many people. If there is such a rumor, won't I have anything to do with the first choice of the crown princess?"

Xiu Tao then understood: "It turns out that she wants to use this rumor to ruin Miss's reputation, but at the same time, she will let everyone notice her, and use her gentleness to compare with Miss, which will also attract the attention of the prince." ”

Han Xiangmo smiled and said, "The son can be taught!"

"But this is too vicious! ruin my young lady's reputation like this, hum!" Xiu Tao said angrily.

Xiu Tao looked angry, but it made Han Xiangmo laugh, and she smiled: "But she also underestimated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my father." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be suspicious of me, the fact that my father refused to marry the royal family will also make the prince feel strange, so he will naturally send someone to investigate the matter. In addition, if my father knew that the rumor was not spread by me, he would also investigate the matter and return my innocence. Therefore, He Yilan still missed this aspect. Han Xiangmo told everything.

Xiu Tao nodded to indicate that she understood, and couldn't help but praise: "It's still my young lady who is the smartest, and she thinks of everything!"

Han Xiangmo smiled and did not answer. In fact, He Yilan didn't need to do this at all, she wouldn't have married the crown prince to be the crown princess, she did this not only redundantly, but most importantly, it was easy to be found out and disgusted by His Royal Highness the prince. Why bother?

However, throughout the ages, most women have not been moved by the position of the crown princess or even the queen, so there are fewer intrigues between women?

......

East Palace, Prince's Mansion.

Wen Hao told the crown prince Su Zhe the results of his investigation, but Su Zhe didn't seem surprised at all, just lowered his head and thought about it.

Wen Hao was a little curious: "Isn't the master surprised? Or does the master already know?"

Su Zhe said: "At first, it was just a guess, not particularly sure. ”

Wen Hao didn't ask much, and said, "Then now, what is the master going to do?"

Su Zhe didn't answer directly, but asked, "How is the Prime Minister's Mansion doing?"

Wen Hao was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "It seems that the He family has been found, and it should only be a matter of the past two days." ”

Su Zhe nodded and said, "Then let's wait and see what happens, and after the Prime Minister's Mansion finds out, Prime Minister Han should take action." However, you've recently sent someone to keep an eye on He Yilan in case she makes any more small moves. ”

"Yes. ”

"The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion ......" Su Zhe said suddenly, but he didn't finish speaking, as if he was thinking about how to say it better.

Wen Hao didn't know why, and said, "What happened to the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Su Zhe thought for a long time, and finally only smiled, and said lightly: "It's nothing ......"

In fact, what he wanted to know was whether Han Xiangmo was affected by this incident and bothered her. She should be very annoyed, after all, she didn't do anything but was criticized by such rumors!

Wen Hao was very puzzled, but since the master didn't say it, then he didn't bother to think about it, in case the direction was not right and the guess was wrong, it would make the master angry.
