Chapter 135: Seeing Through the Conspiracy
Ruan Qingge withdrew his hand, glanced around, and looked down at the palace people on the ground.
The people in this palace are ordinary, without much distinctiveness, and although the figure is somewhat strong, it is not uncommon in the palace. Ruan Tingge searched his body, but he didn't find anything.
Ruan Qingge stood up, looked at the side hall pointed to by the palace people before, thought for a while, and walked towards the side hall.
She did not go to the door of the side hall, but walked sideways to the window of the side hall, and as soon as she got close to the window, she heard a human voice from inside, it was a man's voice.
Ruan Qinge's expression was slightly cold, and she had a plan in her heart, but at this time, she still turned her ears to listen to the voice in the hall.
The man's voice in the hall was a little slurred, as if he had drunk too much wine, "What about people? Where have all the people died? β
"Give it to the prince... Bring the clothes..."
"It's hot, well, it's fucking hot!"
Then came the sound of rustling, mixed with the cacophony of tables and chairs colliding.
Ruan Qingge frowned, reached out and gently pierced a small hole in the window paper, and looked into the hall through the small hole.
The hall was a bit of a mess, with men's robes and pillows scattered on the floor, as well as a chair.
Not far away, a man sat crookedly on the couch, his back to this side, his outer robe had been removed, and only his middle coat remained, and he was tugging at his belt.
Ruan Qinge glanced at the entire hall, and saw that there was only one man in this side hall, the doors and windows were closed, and even the door was tightly closed.
At this point, the man finally unfastened his belt, tossed it casually, and took off his pants.
Ruan Tingge didn't want to see this drunkard take off his clothes, but at this time, the man turned around and showed a straight face, Ruan Tingge fixed his eyes and was slightly stunned, and found that this person turned out to be Ling Chengxi, the sixth prince.
Ling Chengxi's face was flushed, his eyes were dilated, and a heavy wheezing sound kept coming out of his throat, making his originally handsome face look a little distorted and ugly.
He took off his pants very clumsily and rudely, and he was wearing a pair of mid-pants underneath.
But Ling Chengxi didn't care about the pants at this time, he pulled them randomly and found that they didn't tear them open, so he directly put his hand into the pants and touched his thighs.
Ruan Qingge immediately withdrew her gaze and turned her head, and then heard the sound of breathing inside getting heavier and heavier, and there was a trace of disgust in her eyes.
Closed doors and windows, drunken princes, remote palaces, and eccentric palace people who trick themselves into bringing themselves here.
Ruan Qinge's eyes showed a hint of coldness, who set up the poisonous plan?
Footsteps suddenly came from the front of the side hall, Ruan Qingge leaned against the wall on one side, and when he looked lightly, he saw a eunuch standing in front of the side hall door, the eunuch looked a little vigilant, and was looking towards the path in front of the temple gate.
Why haven't you come yet? Didn't there be an accident? When the eunuch heard the shouts of the six princes in the palace, he looked a little uneasy, and paced back and forth in front of the palace gate.
How should this be, or leave the six princes here and go first?
Before the eunuch could think of a solution, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
......
The main hall of the palace is brightly lit and exudes the aroma of food and wine.
Dongyun has always been a prince and courtier to celebrate the New Year together, so this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will not disperse until the end of the year.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively, and many officials and ministers were talking and drinking with each other, perhaps because they drank a little too much, and the volume of some military attachΓ©s also became much louder.
Ling Botao, who was sitting on the main seat, was also full of smiles, and it was rare that he didn't care about this, but turned his head to talk to the Queen Mother.
Mrs. Meng, the Taiwei, was a little sleepy, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned, she turned her head to look at her daughter, and found that she was sipping tea with a smile, her eyes were shining, and she looked very energetic.
Mrs. Taiwei couldn't help but say, "Wan'er, you are sleeping peacefully at this time on weekdays, but today you are in a tight spirit." β
Meng Yanwan said with a smile, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the palace, my daughter can't cheer up." β
"You're still a little younger," said Madame Lieutenant, shaking her head, "I can't hold on any longer." β
"Mother might as well go and rest in the back," Meng Yanwan suggested, "The old lady Yide of the Fenyang Royal Mansion has already gone inside to rest. β
There are compartments in the main hall of the Liqing Palace, equipped with soft collapses and coffee tables, which are specially used for the elderly women to rest, which is much better than the ordinary hard cushions and hard chairs outside.
Madame Taiwei glanced at the cubicle behind her, and she could still see the figure through the screen, and she shook her head and said, "Forget it." β
Rather than go to the cubicle and stay with the old lady, it is better to hold on a little longer outside.
Meng Yanwan didn't care, her eyes looked at the Fenyang Mansion again, and when she saw the vacant seat, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise high.
"Why hasn't the sixth come back yet?" Ling Botao found that Ling Chengxi's position was still empty, and couldn't help frowning and saying.
It has been half an hour since Ling Chengxi left, even if the area of the Qing Palace is large, then Ling Chengxi should change his clothes, and this time is more than enough to boil water and bathe.
What's more, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Empress Dowager is sitting at the banquet, and Ling Chengxi can't still go to bathe, at most, he will change his outer robe and inner clothes.
Concubine Wan was also a little anxious, and when she heard Ling Botao's words, she couldn't help but said, "The emperor might as well send someone to take a look, Xi'er also drank a lot of wine before." β
Ling Botao lowered his voice and instructed the palace next to him, "You send someone to find the sixth prince." β
The queen was a little uneasy in her heart for some reason, she glanced behind her imperceptibly, and her eldest palace maid understood her gaze, took a small step back gently, and whispered a few words to the palace maid next to her.
Seeing that the palace maid left quietly, the queen swept her gaze over the seats of the princes, and saw that Ling Chengsi was still sitting in place, although her face was cold and unsmiling, the queen still put her heart at ease.
"How so?" Meng Yanwan couldn't help but exclaim, she actually saw Ruan Tingge and Lin Yunxi holding their arms intimately and returning to the hall together.
Mrs. Taiwei was taken aback by her daughter's exclamation, "Wan'er, what's wrong?" β
Meng Yanwan stared at Ruan Tingge deadly, and when she saw Lin Yunxi say something in Ruan Tingge's ear, the two laughed together, and then the two returned to their respective seats.
"Wan'er?" Mrs. Taiwei followed Meng Yanwan's gaze and found that the person she was staring at seemed to be the Yun'an County Lord of the Fenyang Palace.
She was a little clear in her heart, but also a little disappointed, it seems that Meng Yanwan still hasn't let go of her knot.
Meng Yanwan came back to her senses, she was very flustered at this time, but she still maintained her composure on her face, "Mother, I'm fine." β
"Are you really okay?" Mrs. Taiwei asked.
