"Mrs. Duan, did you bring that lantern?" Ji Youran suddenly turned around and looked at Mrs. Duan who was following Mrs. Ji with a smile.

"Lanterns?" Mrs. Duan was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

"It's the lantern that Cousin Qu told you, the one from the crown princess." Ji Youran continued to ask with a smile, his tone was friendly, as if he was asking so casually.

She listened to what Xiao said, Qu Moying and Duan sat together, what they said should be the matter of this lantern, Duan should know it in their hearts, the focus of her question at this time is the latter sentence, Duan will inevitably react when she listens to Qu Moying's words.

"Miss Qu Si's lantern for the crown princess?" Mrs. Duan's face was dazed, she really didn't know why this sentence suddenly came out.

This reaction was different from what Ji Youran imagined, looking at it as if he really didn't know, Ji Youran's heart jumped suddenly, turned to Xiao Shi and glanced at it, Xiao nodded silently, indicating that Qu Moying had indeed talked to Duan Shi at that time, and Duan couldn't have not known.

No matter what Qu Moying said, it is impossible not to know as far as Duan's is concerned, but I didn't expect Duan's to be quite able to pretend, this is to see that something is wrong?

But so what, she didn't believe that the Duan clan could always behave so dazedly.

The smile on his face became softer and softer: "Don't you know about the lantern?" ”

"I don't know, didn't Miss Qu Si tell me about the lantern, the lantern of the crown princess?" Mrs. Duan shook her head again this time, without the slightest hesitation, her eyes remained blank.

Xiao couldn't hold his breath, stepped forward and said, "It's the thing that Miss Qu Si deliberately said, have you forgotten?" ”

"What did you say?" Duan Shi blinked his eyes and said bluntly, "Miss Qu Si hasn't contacted me recently, and after the matter of Yuejin Pavilion was settled, we only met for the first time today." ”

"Didn't Miss Qu Si always send someone over before?" Xiao became aggressive.

There is a sequence between two things, but they can also be confused together, and if the order is not clarified, it is easy to be regarded as the same thing.

"Yes, I have been here, but after the incident of Yuejin Pavilion, I haven't sent anyone again, if my brother and sister don't believe it, you can ask someone to inquire about it." Mrs. Duan replied in a daze, looked at the Xiao family, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she added, "What's the matter today, why do you keep mentioning the lantern of the crown princess, which lantern does the side concubine want from the concubine?" ”

She didn't think Miss Qu Si had said this before.

In a word, the smile on Ji Youran's face stiffened, this reaction was not at all similar to what she expected, Duan's was too good at pretending, or did Qu Moying really say nothing?

"Mrs. Duan......"

Sensing that the prince's gaze fell on him, Ji Youran was a little panicked, tried to calm his heartbeat, and said.

"That's it!" Pei Luoan coldly interrupted Ji Youran's words, his face was cold, and he knew that he was very unhappy at a glance.

In front of the people, as well as the people in the Ji Mansion, and Mrs. Qu, Ji Youran's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything, his head lowered, and he gritted his teeth secretly, not knowing which link went wrong.

Fortunately, the lantern has not appeared at the moment, otherwise this matter will not be explained clearly, and he made a look at Xiao, Xiao, knowing that there was an accident, shook his head silently at a mother-in-law beside him.

The mother-in-law secretly wanted to go out and stop people.

But the mother-in-law wanted to move, but was coldly stopped by a guard, so frightened that the mother-in-law turned back two steps back, and almost stepped on Xiao's, although Xiao avoided it, but looked at the cold-faced guard, and his face was not very good-looking.

"The two ladies and the two ladies should go and rest!" After Peloan sat down, he waved his hand and motioned for the others to stand down.

It's reluctant to be disturbed anymore.

The two Mrs. Tai are both old and sophisticated, especially Mrs. Qu just heard Ji Youran and Xiao mention her little granddaughter again and again, she was still a little worried, but looking at the current appearance, it didn't seem like her little granddaughter was causing trouble, she glanced at Mrs. Ji on the side, and turned around first.

Since the prince didn't want them to watch from the side, he would step back first, and send someone to find the shadow girl to ask about the situation later.

Mrs. Ji also saw some things, but she has always been this kind of character, she cares about herself the most, and she has always avoided misfortune and sought blessings, although she was a little worried, she still followed Mrs. Qu's side and turned around and left.

The Duan clan naturally followed her.

Xiao Shi was the most worried, but she also had to go, looking back at Ji Youran step by step, worried.

But all the people left, leaving only the people from the East Palace and the mother-in-law who was guarded and couldn't leave, Pei Luoan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and after slowly putting it down, he asked, "Ji Youran, what do you want to do?" ”

"Your Highness, concubine...... Without the ......" sentence, Ji Youran immediately couldn't stand still, and knelt down with a "plop".

"Ji Youran, the lantern of the crown princess? Is that the lantern she made at her birth mother's sacrifice that day? How did Miss Qu Si know about this? Why did she suddenly talk about this lantern, why did she mention this mention of the cage? Pei Luoan said coldly, his eyes fell on Ji Youran's body, with a chill.

"Your Highness, concubine...... Concubine ......"

Ji Youran had already tasted something bad, and he didn't dare to say anything about the previous method, although he looked wronged, his eyes wandered, and he felt very weak at first glance.

Originally, she wanted to say that Qu Moying had just said it to her privately on the path, but as for why she knew about this lantern, of course, it was pushed to Mama Zhou's body, which was thought of by Qu Moying.

She would say that Qu Moying mentioned the lantern on the path, and she also wanted to put the lantern in the sacrifice of the crown princess, saying that it was to show her worship to the princess, and that the crown princess also worshiped her aunt in this way.

As for Qu Moying's purpose, Ji Youran can't say it explicitly, but it can be hinted that Qu Moying deliberately went to the prince to show her and the princess's affection, indicating that her sisterhood with the princess is more cordial than her sisterhood with the princess.

Faintly said that Qu Moying had a plan for the prince.

This matter was originally counted in one fell swoop, one is to make the prince angry and punish the Duan family, it is best to directly dispose of the Duan family, as soon as the Duan family goes, it will be a small child, and the mother will definitely be able to deal with it, and then the entire Ling Anbo Mansion will have to return to the hands of his parents.

Of course, the lantern will not be said to have been found from Ji Yanyue's courtyard, it has to be said that the Duan family secretly took it from the former residence of the crown princess, and the Duan family did not take the prince's words seriously, just such a crime can make the Duan family unable to eat and walk around.

Second, it is Qu Moying, although Ji Youran has a cousin, she looks affectionate to Qu Moying, but inexplicably, when she sees Qu Moying, she always doesn't like it, and even faintly hostile, this

When they first met, they already had this feeling.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, sometimes, Ji Youran even feels that there is a faint shadow of Ji Hanyue on Qu Moying's body, which is the most unbearable place for her.

Ji Hanyue is already dead, and even the grave is overgrown with weeds, why did she jump out to disturb her mind and make her nervous unconsciously.

Together with the Duan family, I don't know how to take the lantern away from the former residence of the crown princess, and want to show the love and sister love with the crown princess in front of His Royal Highness the prince, or to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the prince, no matter what kind of purpose it is, it will cause the prince's disgust, and since the Duan family has been punished, Qu Moying can't escape.

As for whether Qu Moying told him at that time, even if Qu Moying denied it, it was useless, then only his master and servant and Qu Moying's master and servant would be on the path, and the prince would of course believe his words more.

And the third point is Liu Jingyu, this kind of thing happened when the crown princess was sacrificed, the prince paid the most attention to reputation, especially in the place where he was close to Ji Hanyue, and there was an accident during the sacrifice, which was disrespectful to the crown princess, or some people might seem to say that this was a warning from the crown princess, otherwise how could the well-born Duan and Qu Moying make such a stupid move.

Of course, this is just a prospect, she still has a backhand, after the prince punished Duan and Qu Moying, he faintly pointed out that the crown princess was unwilling, so she would have this kind of thing when she was sacrificing her.

The so-called unwillingness naturally refers to Ji Hanyue's reluctance to marry a newcomer to the palace so quickly, and although the prince is annoyed when he hears it, he will also feel that this is not the best time to announce Liu Jingyu as the crown princess, and this family affair can be delayed a little longer.

For the high-flying Liu Jingyu, Ji Youran felt that she still had to take advantage of Ji Hanyue, who was dead, and she also had more definite preparations......

But now that things have gone so wrong, how can Ji Youran not panic, he stammered and couldn't even speak, desperately thinking of the idea of exculpation in his mind, it was obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince noticed something.

Pei Luoan did notice it, with Qu Moying's words in his heart, Pei Luoan observed it very clearly, and saw some small actions between Ji Youran and Xiao's mother and daughter, and also asked the guards to stop the mother-in-law sent by Xiao's family, just to see how she would move next.

Ji Youran and Xiao's actions have explained everything, Pei Luoan was a little confused before, but now he is sure, he is sure that Ji Youran is stirring up trouble inside, and his heart is full of anger, he wants to see how Ji Youran justifies himself.

When Ji Youran stammered and considered how to exculpate himself, two mothers-in-law suddenly came outside the hall, holding a lantern in their hands, and saw the guard guarding the door stunned for a moment, and was about to leave, but saw the guard step forward, took the lantern from the mother-in-law's hand, turned around and walked inside.

The two mothers-in-law were startled and didn't dare to go any further, standing outside the main hall tremblingly.

The guard presented the lantern in front of Pei Luoan, looking at an obvious scratch on the base of the lantern, Pei Luoan sneered and pointed: "Ji Youran, what is this?" ”

"Temple...... Your Royal Highness, the concubine really doesn't know, the concubine is just ...... I just heard that Mrs. Duan brought a lantern over, which seemed to be the lantern of the crown princess, and the concubine ...... I just want to teach Mrs. Duan a lesson, she is a concubine...... I misheard my mother's words, and felt that Mrs. Duan was just a concubine, and she couldn't sit in Mrs.'s place! ”

Ji Youran's tears immediately rolled down, aggrieved, she knew that the general trend was gone at this time, and she didn't dare to push Duan and Qu Moying anymore, so she directly pulled Xiao out to block the arrow.
