Lu Guanlan raised his eyebrows and nodded at Ah Li.

Ah Li hurriedly went to the courtyard.

"Is the slave still staring?" Chu Yu glanced at Ah Li who was out of the room, and then turned back to ask Lu Guanlan.

Lu Guanlan smiled, "This matter is not a secret matter, and there is no need to hide it from Ah Li." ”

Chu Yu nodded, "It's just, now that you're staring at the envoys of Xixin and you Dacheng Three Princes, you really don't do anything?" ”

Lu Guanlan smiled lightly, "Then what do you think, what can you do?" ”

Hatsuyu pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Last time I went back to Linjianglou, I let you see Wen Ruofei and Chengye's private dealings, but you haven't found anything these days, right?" Lu Guanlan stood up with a smile.

Chu Yu frowned, "It's the slave who doesn't do it well." ”

Lu Guanlan shook his head, "Definitely." If you don't know Chengye, you naturally don't know that this person's mind is hidden. ”

"What do you know?" The first words blurted out. Then he felt as if he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and shut up.

Lu Guanlan didn't feel anything, but said, "You should go out of the house and keep an eye later." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Ah Li come back.

"Miss, it's someone from His Royal Highness's side, and he said that he came to pass the word on behalf of His Royal Highness, and Steward Zhao didn't inform the master yet, so he immediately came to our courtyard to report," Ah Li said.

Lu Guanlan nodded, "In that case, we should go and meet." ”

After that, Chong Chuyu nodded, and took Ah Li out of the house.

As soon as Lu Guanlan took Ah Li to the front hall, he saw that Ziyuan in Chengmo's courtyard was already waiting here.

Steward Zhao wanted to come with him, but was sent to Lu Bingyan's study by Lu Guanlan.

After all, now this Lu family is still his Lu Bingyan's Lu family, if Lu Bingyan knows about Steward Zhao's move, it will definitely be an indispensable turmoil.

Lu Guanlan didn't want to cause more trouble at the moment, so he asked Steward Zhao to report Lu Bingyan's matter first, and he came first.

At this time, the maids and servants in the front hall were all busy, and there were not many people in the hall.

Lu Guanlan only brought Ah Li again, and it was convenient to speak.

Ziyuan didn't seem to shy away at all, and when he saw Lu Guanlan coming, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Miss Lu, our virtuous concubine is in trouble, Your Highness······ His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to find Miss Lu's ideas. ”

Lu Guanlan frowned, "Get up and speak." ”

As he spoke, he sat down on a chair beside him.

Ziyuan hurriedly stood up and said: "Today, His Royal Highness first got the news sent from the palace, saying that Concubine Xian was grounded by His Majesty, and it didn't take long for the Queen Mother to send someone to let Her Royal Highness enter the palace. ”

The more Lu Guanlan listened, the more strange he felt.

Who is Concubine Xian, and how many years has she been in this palace. Rao is to help her find out the identity of the concubine, and she will definitely not be punished for this.

The people in the palace are not stupid, how could they be grounded by the emperor because of this. Concubine Xian is not a fool, how can she let the emperor know about this.

After thinking about it, he asked: "Can His Royal Highness enter the palace now?" ”

Ziyuan nodded, "Before he came down, His Royal Highness had already entered the palace with the people around the queen's mother. ”

Lu Guanlan nodded, and then said: "You go back and wait, everything will be talked about when His Highness comes back." ”

Ziyuan nodded suspiciously.

Before His Royal Highness entered the palace, he asked him to come to the Lu Mansion, saying that he must let Miss Lu know about it. Although he really didn't know that Rao is Miss Lu is smart, but what can she do with an official family member in this palace.

But His Royal Highness told him that he had to do it, and at this time, seeing that Miss Lu also looked helpless, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, but he was helpless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, bowed slightly to Lu Guanlan, and then left the Lu Mansion.

"Miss, Concubine Xian won't really be fine, right?" Ah Li also seemed to be a little worried.

Lu Guanlan shook his head, "Is there anything wrong, I'm not in the palace, how can I know." ”

It's just that she thinks something is a little ridiculous. That is, when her mother was alive, she asked her mother to help Concubine Xian, and now that her mother has passed away, Chengmo has come to her again.

Is it true that their mother and daughter owe Concubine Xian's mother and son?

"Miss, what can we do now?" Ah Li looked towards the gate and saw that Ziyuan had already left the gate.

"Wait and see."

Rao is all this is extremely complicated, whether it is Wen Ruofei's personal relationship with Cheng Ye, or Concubine Xian's accident today, she feels that all this points to one thing-

Crowning ceremony.

In her previous life, Cheng Ye married her as a princess, and the Lu family, who originally supported Cheng Mo, but because Cheng Mo died inexplicably, he turned to support Cheng Ye.

After gaining the support of the Lu family, Chengye became more and more powerful.

Then, Dayu went to war, Li Duan died in battle, and Chengye won the military power. She also followed Chengye to the battlefield.

At that time, she was so infatuated, thinking that if Chengye also died on the battlefield, then she would be buried with him.

Thinking of this, Lu Guanlan suddenly "chuckled" in his heart.

She used to just think that everything that happened was going with the waves, but she never thought about whether it meant that if she became a variable in this life, then it would mean that many things also gave birth to many variables.

For example, Naruno's ambitions no longer wait until he is crowned king before being exposed. For example, the cause of Cheng Mo's death has been advanced. Another example is that Chengye's military power was not obtained after Li Duan's death.

Her mind suddenly flashed to what she had said with Li on the mountain that day.

"Who does this delivery of grain and grass mean?"

"Your Highness."

"Is there a reason?"

"Bandits are rampant in the border areas, and this time the delivery of grain and grass is actually for the purpose of quelling the chaos."

"Li Guogong didn't ask for a decree?"

"It's strange to say, Ah Gong did not ask His Majesty for an order, but His Royal Highness heard about the Border Rebellion from somewhere, so he gave His Majesty a discount."

Lu Guanlan's eyes flashed a few times, and at this moment, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his body.

If it is said that the rebellion in the border land of Li Guogong was a means for Chengye to seize military power. If it is said that the so-called letting Li Duan transport grain and grass and then quell the chaos is just to invite you into the urn.

Besides, the so-called Dayu thief is not Dayu's thief, but-

Xijing.

Therefore, if it is not for Wen, he will have a very personal relationship with Chengye. Therefore, Cheng Ye heard about the rebellion in the border areas that Li Guogong did not ask for an edict to inform the emperor of the rebellion in the border areas "out of nowhere". That's why Li Duan was asked to go to transport grain and grass.

If this is the case, then everything will make sense and you will be able to figure it out.

Lu Guanlan stood up suddenly, turned back to Ah Li and said, "Prepare the carriage." ”

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and saw that Lu Guanlan's face was a little anxious at this time, and she couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Miss, where do you want to go?" ”

"The Imperial Palace."

Zhuhua Palace.

Concubine Xian leaned back on the couch chair and looked at the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard.

Mama Jiang brought the decoction and handed it to Concubine Xian and said, "At this time, you can't catch the cold, and Niangniang still uses some medicine to maintain it." ”

Concubine Xian didn't take the decoction in Mama Jiang's hand, but just looked at the withered sycamore in the courtyard, as if she hadn't heard Mama Jiang's words.

"Niangniang, the slave maid is studying under the medical fairy family, you have to trust the slave maid," Jiang Mama handed the decoction in her hand forward again.

Concubine Xian looked sideways, "Mama Jiang, are you really just looking for someone for your master?" ”

Mama Jiang was hunched up, but there was a meaningful smile on her wrinkled face, but she did not answer Concubine Xian's words.

Seeing that Mama Jiang refused to say more, Concubine Xian took the decoction, and didn't care whether the decoction was bitter or not, so she drank it all.

Mama Jiang smiled and nodded, "Niangniang, let's rest, the slave maid will go and prepare lunch for Niangniang." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a "squeak" from the palace gate.

Mama Jiang immediately frowned, looked back at Concubine Xian, and saw Concubine Xian nodding at herself, so she bowed her head slightly and walked out of the outer hall.

The guards guarding outside the palace gate had just opened the door for Ling Chan, and Ling Yu stepped into the door first, but before he could see clearly, he was hit by a heavy object on his head, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Ling Chan stepped into the door with her hind feet, and when she saw Ling Yu lying on the ground, she immediately frowned.

At this time, I felt a gust of wind behind me.

Ling Chan reacted very quickly, immediately dodged away, and when she raised her eyes again, she saw an old woman with gray hair looking at her, but her cloudy eyes were full of coldness.

"If you don't want to alarm the guards outside, don't make any more noise," Ling Chan said in a deep voice.

Seeing that the old lady was stunned for a moment, she immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, I heard the voice of the virtuous concubine from the gate of the palace, "Come to think of it, you are the concubine of Your Majesty's Xinna." ”

Ling Chan turned her head to look and saw Concubine Xian standing at the door of the palace, looking straight at herself, but her eyes could not see joy or anger.

Ling Chan smiled and pointed to Ling Yu who fell to the ground, "I should have saluted Concubine Xian Niangniang first, but the concubine's maid became like this, and I asked Concubine Xian Niangniang to settle the concubine." ”

Concubine Xian didn't say a word, but turned around and went back to the hall.

Seeing this, Mama Jiang snorted coldly, ignored Ling Chan, and followed Concubine Xian into the hall.

Ling Chan squatted down and touched the place where Ling Yu was smashed by the old woman, and her hands were suddenly stained with blood, and her heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Immediately helped Ling Yu up from the ground with distress, and then helped Ling Yu into the hall.

After helping Ling Yu to sit down on the chair, Haosheng let Ling Yu lean on the back of the chair, she turned her head to look at Concubine Xian, and saw that Concubine Xian was already sitting on the chair, so she stepped forward and saluted Concubine Xian: "Concubine Ling Chan, I have seen Concubine Xian." ”

Concubine Xian looked at Ling Chan and suddenly asked, "Why do you call yourself Ling Chan in the same palace instead of Shu Concubine?" ”

Ling Chan smiled, "Because, like Niangniang, the concubine doesn't want to stay in this palace." ”

Concubine Xian's eyes were still faint, but when she heard Ling Chan's words, she suddenly flashed.

At this time, Ling Chan's eyes fell on Mama Jiang on the side, "This old lady looked at the elderly, and she thought that she was so heavy," she said, and looked at Concubine Xian again, "It's really rare to have such a loyal slave by Concubine Xian's side." ”

Jiang Mama saw that Ling Chan seemed to be intent on asking for the guilt, so she turned around and bowed to Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian Niangniang was grounded by His Majesty, and His Majesty ordered that no one should be allowed to see her. ”

Ling Chan smiled when she heard this, but her eyes fell on Concubine Xian, "Really?" ”
