Chapter 53: Seemingly unintentional
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the assassination failed."
Although the assassination was not carried out by Heze himself, the failure was that His Majesty was not strict and naturally had to admit his guilt.
Yin Chen was surprisingly not angry, but looked at him expressionlessly. Yin Chen knew in his heart that if Yin Quan could really be solved with a small assassination, then he didn't need to have a headache about this matter every day.
"Our men found a woman in King Cheng's house."
"Women?"
After so many years of getting along, he knows that Yin Quan is not the kind of person who will approach women.
"Let's report it and say...... The woman's voice was like that of an eldest princess. ”
"Impossible."
Yin Chen denied it without even thinking about it, he thought that he knew Yin Jingya best, maybe what happened at the beginning made her temperament change greatly, but it would never make her close to Yin Quan.
"Your Majesty, do you want to check it out?"
After Heze asked, Yin Chen didn't respond for a long time, he knew that he was afraid, but he didn't even know what he was afraid of.
"Check ...... Don't startle the snake. ”
"Yes!"
After Heze left, Yin Chen looked at the table full of music and weakly supported his forehead.
He knew that Yin Jingya had been investigating two more things for so many years, but Yin Chen thought that these two things were well hidden, and she would not find out at all. But when Heze guessed that the person was Yin Jingya, Yin Chen's heart panicked for no reason.
Li Shenlan's mood has been a little low for the past two days, and in two days, according to the rules here, it will be the sacrifice day for the second elder of the Song family. She knew that as a concubine, it was impossible to leave the palace at every turn, but she still wanted to worship in person.
"Niangniang, the emperor is here."
Seeing that Li Shenlan had been sitting there in a daze, she hurriedly reminded her closely.
Hearing this, Li Shenlan looked up at the door, it was raining heavily outside, and Yin Chen had just entered the door shaking the rain on his body.
"Why did you come here at this time, and Father-in-law Hou didn't persuade me, in case it was not good."
I don't know if I'm going to be a mother, Li Shenlan's mouth is now nagging more and more. Even Yin Chen couldn't help but laugh a few words every time he heard it, saying that the little girl had grown into an adult.
"I'll come and see you when I miss you."
Yin Chen's return was natural, and the two of them basically abandoned the royal rules in their every move, just like an ordinary couple.
"It's good that the emperor is here, our master has been sitting here in a daze for a day."
The days of entering the palace in the autumn are not short, knowing that Li Shenlan and Yin Chen are not strictly abiding by the rules, they often joke a few words to ease the atmosphere.
"What are you thinking about every day, little brain?"
After listening to what Shuqiu said, Yin Chen helped Li Shenlan sit down and asked jokingly, and nodded her forehead honestly with his hand.
Li Shenlan could only smile and shake her head, she couldn't say that she was worried about the second elder of the Song family, after all, she was still Li Yunshan's daughter in name.
Seeing that Li Shenlan didn't say anything, Yin Chen didn't pursue it anymore, but seemed to be unintentionally chattering.
"Are you staying in the palace and panicking, I can't take you out to play with a lot of things these days."
"How can it be so exaggerated, the concubine also knows that as a concubine, she can't leave the palace often." can have Yin Chen's favoritism and pampering, she is already very satisfied.
"If you hold me back, there is a way, doesn't Bang Chun live in the Qin Mansion outside the palace, and Qin Ye is not in the mansion on weekdays, why don't you go to her for two days?"
Who would have expected that Yin Chen would suddenly say this, but he fell into Li Shenlan's hands.
"It's really okay to always go out of the palace?"
Li Shenlan naturally wanted to go, but the Queen Mother was still there, if she knew that she was out of the palace to play again, she was afraid that she would lose her temper again and teach herself a lesson.
"It's okay, the Queen Mother, what about me, besides, I asked you to go, what can she say?"
Yin Chen saw Li Shenlan's concerns at a glance, and showed great confidence to comfort her.
I don't know if Yin Chen said it intentionally or unintentionally, after all, he must know more or less about Li Shenlan's identity.
Li Shenlan sat in the carriage and thought about it in her heart, and from time to time she would secretly snicker, as a concubine, she could be so favored by the king, how could she not be pleased.
Hearing the shouting sound of the hawker outside the house, Li Shenlan instinctively lifted the curtain and looked out.
Seeing that this is in the downtown area, the shouts of various vendors outside the car and the sound of children chasing and fighting are all over the place.
"Harvest autumn, do you want to eat sugar gourd!" Li Shenlan suddenly asked about the harvest on the side very excitedly, obviously because she wanted to eat it.
"Master, when you came out, the emperor ordered that you should not eat these things, for fear that they would not be clean."
"What can I do, you go buy two, hurry up."
Under her debt collection urging, Shu Qiu got out of the carriage helplessly and hurriedly bought two rock sugar gourds.
Li Shenlan took it and opened her mouth to bite it, and Shu Qiu hurriedly grabbed it and measured it with a silver needle before handing it to her again.
"Why are you so cautious, this is not the palace."
Harvest autumn doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she has been in the palace for less than half a year, how many times has Li Shenlan been assassinated, how can she not be guarded.
A mouthful of sugar gourd in the mouth, sour and sweet, the mouth and soul seem to be wrapped in a layer of sugar coating, and the whole person is very relaxed.
"Phew, the master is so sour, you still eat so delicious."
Li Shenlan also shrugged her shoulders indifferently, she didn't know what was going on, she seemed to prefer to eat some sour food recently.
"Huh! Master, people say that sour and spicy girls, you must be pregnant with a prince! ”
"Shut up!"
Li Shenlan suddenly shouted coldly, she knew that Harvest Autumn was also really happy for herself, but if these words were heard by someone with a heart, she was afraid that she would have more rights and wrongs.
"The slave is out of the ......"
"You, you don't look like you when you leave the palace." Although Li Shenlan blamed the harvest on her mouth, she unconsciously stroked her belly, which had already bulged a lot.
"I rejoice in both men and women."
This is the truth, compared to everyone in the palace who wants to have a prince, Li Shenlan wants a princess even more. How good my daughter's home is, and it is intimate and there will be no disputes.
The carriage where the two were talking and laughing also arrived at the Qin Mansion, and Bang Chun received the news early in the morning, and was already at the door at this time
"Say hello to Lan Zhaoyi."
knew that Bang Chun was made for passers-by, but after receiving this gift seriously, Li Shenlan always felt that something was awkward.
"Sister Bangchun, tell me about the master, what kind of sugar gourd do you have to eat on the way here."
As soon as he entered the mansion to harvest autumn, he was happy, and kept telling Li Shenlan about Li Shenlan's black state to Bang Chun.
"The master is really, the things outside haven't figured out the details, if you were the same as Princess An last time, wouldn't you hurt your body."
"How can it be as exaggerated as you say, just a sugar gourd can be a big deal. Besides, I only decided to come out yesterday, who would have known that it would be arranged in advance. ”
Li Shenlan is really a lot more relaxed, perhaps because the atmosphere in the palace is too stuffy, and there are endless intrigues all day long, which is really annoying.
"Are you ready?"
Bang Chun nodded, she went to buy the sacrifice as soon as she received the news, knowing that it was inconvenient for Li Shenlan to be in the palace, and she specially prepared a set of plain clothes.
"Harvest autumn, you stay in the mansion and don't let people know that we are not in the mansion, we will be back in two hours at most."
"Okay."
After ordering everything, Li Shenlan, accompanied by Bang Chun, entered an inconspicuous alley from the back door, and then made a detour before coming up to the carriage prepared in the morning.
In a cemetery in the south of the capital, the carriage stopped steadily, and Li Shenlan helped Bang Chun get off the car and walked to the grave of the second elder step by step.
This grave was chosen by Li Yunshan at the beginning, and it was specially chosen the best location for Li Shenlan to do things for herself. What kind of feng shui treasure land, even if Li Shenlan doesn't believe in this, he still hopes that the second elder can be the best.
Bang Chun helped her kneel down carefully, and then slowly burned paper money for Li Shenlan in front.
"Father, my daughter is not filial, but by accident, it also made Li Yunshan taste the loss of his relatives."
Today's Li Shenlan is no longer the same as when she first learned about her death, but is a little more calm and ruthless. When it came to Li Mingyue's severed hand, there was even a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"Originally, my daughter also wanted to go to Elysium with you, but unexpectedly, she was pregnant with a child at this time.
Daddy, the emperor treats me very well, and even I never thought that I would still be favored in the sixth palace. It is not easy for a daughter to conceive this child, and the people in the palace are always trying to make a move on your grandson......
Yuanyuan hereby begs you to bless our mother and son in heaven, and bless our daughter to give birth to a child safely. ”
After Li Shenlan finished speaking, she slowly kowtowed to the tombstone three times while holding her stomach.
"Master, don't be sad, Old Song and Mrs. Song will definitely bless you in heaven."
After the memorial service was over, the sun was about to set, and the two walked back together, always returning to the Qin Mansion before dark.
"How are you and Qin Ye, are you having a good time?"
On the road, the two chatted with each other, and it has been a long time since Bang Chun got married, and Li Shenlan was always worried.
"What's so bad, Qin Ye has now been transferred to the palace by the emperor on an errand, although he doesn't have to run around, but he only came back at night, and he entered the palace again in the morning, and he couldn't say anything for a day."
"Didn't he treat you well?" Listening to Bang Chun's tone, it was as if Qin Ye had failed her.
Bang Chun shook his head, "No, Qin Ye is still the same as before, and he hasn't changed anything to me." It's just that he is busy in the palace every day, and I also have to take care of the people in the secret guard, and I really don't have a few words a day. ”
This is complaining that the husband and wife have not been together for a long time, Li Shenlan smiled and thought about it, and she also thought about it from time to time when she was accompanied by this Yin Chen, not to mention Bang Chun.
"If you feel busy, why don't I go back and talk to the emperor about picking another time for Qin Ye, so that I can accompany you more."
"Not really, I'm just saying, if I really look up and don't look down every day, I'm afraid I'll bother him again."
Hearing this, Li Shenlan laughed without laughing, and even said that it was difficult to serve the spring.
"By the way, how did you check the matter?"
"What do you mean about Wang Jun'er? She is now completely dependent on the queen mother in the palace, as for the last witch Gu incident, the palace maid is dead, and there is no way to verify the death of the slave and maid.
But according to the fact that the Queen Mother had been biting to death at that time, it was Shen who did it, and she gave Wang Jun'er enough time to defend herself, I guess this matter has something to do with her. ”
Sure enough, Li Shenlan said secretly in her heart. It is said that he was unconscious at that time, and even when he woke up, he was delirious, and he didn't know what he was trying in Zhongcui Palace at that time.
But I only told her that this matter must have something to do with Wang Jun'er.
Thinking of the sincere sisterhood between the two at the beginning, and the fact that they were in such a situation where they couldn't wait for you to live or die now, Li Shenlan helped her forehead with a headache.
"Is the master uncomfortable?"
"I don't know why, I've been feeling dizzy lately. It may be because the month is getting older and the body is heavy. ”
Li Shenlan didn't think much about it, and heard the queen say that Concubine Liang Huai and An were also dizzy at every turn.
"The master still looks for the imperial doctor, and he is always more at ease."
"Well, you're the most attentive. There are so many secret guards around me in the palace, and I think I'm the safest now. ”
Bang Chun also laughed helplessly, how could she not be more protective of Li Shenlan after going through so many things.
"By the way, you have this."
Bang Chun said, took out a bone flute from his arms and put it in Li Shenlan's hand.
"Among these secret guards, there is a secret guard comparable to a thousand miles of ears, and his martial arts are strong and on call. The master holds this, and if there is anything in the future, she will blow it, and she will always be the first to arrive. ”
Li Shenlan took the bone flute, gently put it to her mouth and blew it, and in the next second, a woman in black knelt in front of her.
"Master."
Rao is Li Shenlan was ready, and she still jumped when she saw this big change. This person appeared silently, and the landing was even more light and reasonable, just by looking at it, he knew that he was a ruthless character.
"What's your name?" Li Shenlan asked softly.
"The slave's surname is Luo, and her name is white."
Luo Baijue, since he has a surname and wants to be a secret guard, he has an identity before.
"Don't worry, master, Bai Jue entered the dark building when he was a child, and his parents died when he was a child, and he has no relatives in the house, and the foundation is the cleanest."
Bang Chun saw what Li Shenlan was thinking, and hurriedly explained.
Li Shenlan was also relieved in her heart, and people with clean foundations were relieved to use it.
At night, because Li Shenlan was pregnant, she went into the house early in the morning to rest. Bang Chun sat alone in the room and waited for Qin Ye to come back, thinking that it was late autumn, Li Shenlan was still using ice, and couldn't help but worry.
In the guest room, Li Shenlan was sitting on the bed at this time, not knowing what to do.
The lights in the house had already been blown out by her, and Shuqiu also ran to Bang Chun to chat. In the silence of the four corners, Li Shenlan took out the bone flute from her arms and blew it softly.
"Master."
In the dark, Luo Bai knelt silently in a low voice, waiting for Li Shenlan's orders.
"There's something I want you to check on, but you have to hide it from Bangchun." Li Shenlan saw that Luo Bai had no objection and continued:
"Ouchi guard Qin Ye, you go and carefully investigate his past whereabouts. Especially three or four months ago, where exactly he went, the address here is the most important thing to find out if he has been. ”
The address that Li Shenlan handed to Luo Baijue was none other than the house where the second elder of the Song family lived.
She had to admit that even now, she still wanted to know what Qin Ye had done when he went to the Song Mansion.
