This series of events made Gao Lan's spirit more and more trance-like, depressed, and when he returned to Jinzhi Pavilion, he sat aside in a daze.

The little civet cat lay on the side, depressed: "This green leaf, life is to commit water, both times, alas! ”

Ling'er stretched out the dinner: "The emperor has sent a lot of delicious food to the imperial dining room, and you can have a good meal tonight." ”

"No appetite." Gao Lan said.

"Only when you have eaten enough can you have the strength to find out the truth," Ling'er said unconsciously as she fiddled with the dishes and chopsticks.

"The truth?" The little tanuki's eyes lit up, "You mean what we're seeing now is an illusion?" ”

Ling'er nodded briskly.

Gao Lan was slightly energetic, and raised his empty eyes: "Ling'er, can you make it clear, too many things have happened recently, and my brain has been a little confused recently." ”

Ling'er put down the work in her hand and looked up at the little civet cat and Gao Lan: "Don't you think it's strange, a person who has drowned once, how can she dare to approach the water's edge again so quickly?" I drowned when I was a kid, and I didn't dare to get too close to the water's edge after that......"

After Ling'er's reminder, Gao Lan suddenly realized: "Yes, I was lost in emotion, I didn't expect such a simple thing!" ”

The little civet cat then said, "That green leaf must have known something that shouldn't have been extinguished." ”

Remembering that Lu Ye'er came to her in a hurry before, she must have known some secret, Gao Lan rose gloomily: "Alas, it's all because of me that Lu Ye'er will suffer miserably." I must find the murderer and avenge her. ”

"Then it's time to eat first." Ling'er smiled slyly.

The little civet cat said: "Well, only when you are full can you have the strength to use your brain." ”

Gao Lan finally picked up the dishes and chopsticks, but the delicacies of the mountains and seas that he put in his mouth tasted like chewing wax at the moment.

When night fell, Ling'er lit a high candle.

"If Cui'e did it, then she shouldn't have run to find you, but hurriedly fled while no one was around, instead of pulling you there again." The little tanuki muttered with its cheeks rested.

"yes, that doesn't make sense. Cui'e ruled out suspicion. So it's someone else who harms Green Leaves, so who is it? Gao Lan couldn't figure it out, "Forget it, let's go find Mo Shaozhi tomorrow, he may be able to figure it out." ”

After saying that, the two went back to rest.

Gao Lan was lying on the bed, worried: "It won't be Nan Rongchunhua who did it again!" But Cui'e didn't say that someone else did it, could it be that Cui'e is also Nanrong Chunhua's person? What about Concubine Qin? Oops, it's all Nan Rong's fault, it messed up my mind! ”

Day 2.

When I came to the Nine Kings' Mansion, I didn't see Bai Qingqing and Mo Shaozhi.

"The prince and Mo Gongzi are not in the palace." The butler said.

The little tanuki asked, "Where have they gone?" ”

"This ...... They didn't say it. ”

Gao Lan and the little tanuki waited anxiously in the palace. After a while, I finally saw Mo Shaozhi riding back.

Mo Shaozhi showed a smile of surprise: "When did you come?" ”

"Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're not here." The little civet cat pulled Mo Shaozhi and drilled into the house.

"What's wrong?" Mo Shaozhi was nervous.

Gao Lan and the little civet cat sang and explained what happened during this period clearly.

It's just Nan Rongchunhua's matter, Gao Lan didn't mention a word.

After hearing this, Mo Shaozhi thought: Could it be that this Cui'e is also from Nanrong Wangfu?

But thinking about it again, does Cui'e really have such an IQ to instantly see through the lies made up by Ling'er? Or is the person behind the scenes the concubine Qin who is faintly suspicious?

Mo Shaozhi breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on the chair: "I didn't have any ideas for a while......"

"Huh? Even you Mo Shaozhi have no ideas? Isn't that green leaf dead and blind? Gao Lan was a little sad.

Mo Shaozhi suddenly asked, "How does the palace deal with Lu Ye'er's body?" ”

"Now Concubine Qin is in charge of the harem, she promised Gao Lan that she would be properly settled, Lu Ye'er happened to be from the capital, and the palace sent someone to give a pension." The little tanuki said.

"Then you go back to the palace to inquire about the specific location of her home, and we will go to mourn tomorrow." Mo Shaozhi said.

"Brother Mo is right, I should also prepare some support for her family." Gao Lan felt that Mo Shaozhi's reminder was timely, and hurriedly responded.

"Gao Lan," Mo Shaozhi got up and asked with some meaning, "Ling'er and Concubine Qin, do you trust the two of them?" ”

Gao Lan nodded: "Ling'er, I used to think that she didn't talk much, never talked much, and felt a little unsociable, but these few times it seems that she is also very safe in speaking and doing things." ”

"You say she's safe, why listen to your description, my feelings about her are...... It's very urban. Mo Shaozhi's eyes were wise and determined.

"Well, yes, but after all, she is an old man in the palace, and she has served the old lady." The little tanuki said.

Mo Shaozhi looked at the little civet cat, did not refute, and then turned to Gao Lan: "Well, then Gao Lan, you continue to talk about Concubine Qin." ”

Gao Lan didn't think twice: "Concubine Qin, you also know, she was helping us from the beginning, and she was always the first to come over to help me when something happened,"

"Well, I know this, after you and I were designed, she was the first to remind the Empress Dowager to beg the Empress Dowager, you were called to the Empress Dowager, and you also saw her there, including Lu Ye'er who also had an accident after she had an intersection with her......" Mo Shaozhi seemed to have something in his words, faintly hinting at something.

After listening to Mo Shaozhi's words, the little civet cat was a little confused: "How can the same thing be changed by you when you express it?" ”

Gao Lan was also puzzled: "Yes, do you suspect Concubine Qin?" No way, she doesn't have a motive. ”

Mo Shaozhi looked disapproving: "Motive? It's too obvious, which lady in the harem doesn't want you to go? They have a chance to catch the emperor when you leave, and they all regard you as a thorn in their side, otherwise they will do it if they receive a letter as long as they see that they can drive you away. In fact, if you think about it, the last time you and I were framed, is it really useful to ask the Queen Mother? Will she take care of you, a nameless and pointless woman who is not in line with the rules in the palace? But you go to ask the Empress Dowager to have a role, so that the Empress Dowager in retreat knows that there is a person like you in the harem, and the harem is not peaceful, and the emperor has broken the rules of the palace for you, so you can borrow the hand of the Empress Dowager to get rid of you. ”

After Gao Lan heard this, she was stunned, she had never thought of these.

I only heard Mo Shaozhi continue: "When we were designed, it happened that Bai Qingqing was sent to resettle the victims, and there are not many people in this harem who know Bai Qingqing's relationship with you and me, she obviously knows that Bai Qingqing will desperately intercede for you." That's why I took advantage of his absence. ”

"But Bai Qingqing said that he received two letters, one of which was written by Concubine Qin asking him to save Gao Lan." The little tanuki was puzzled.
