"At that time, I felt that something was wrong, what I could know, it was impossible for the emperor not to know, since he knew that you even lied to him, why didn't Li Yunshan's death implicate you? Until that day, I accidentally went to the studio and saw the portrait of the emperor and queen, and you Li Shenlan are really pitiful, from beginning to end, you are just a shadow of others. ”

When Lu Xin said this, the mockery in his eyes was not concealed at all, and Li Shenlan's hands tightened silently. Lu Xin's words have long been a knife in her heart, but it doesn't seem to hurt so much when Concubine Xiang accompanies her and no one plays with her on weekdays, but now she is almost bleeding from Lu Xin's heart.

"Look at you, you should have known it a long time ago, but do you know what the emperor left you to do? At that time, Aunt Ruozhu, who was next to the Queen Mother, had been manipulating me from behind, and it was then that I knew that the emperor was actually sincere to you.

As soon as Li Yunshan was convicted, the emperor was ready to announce your death, and then when you gave birth to a child, you will welcome you back to the palace in a beautiful manner, and then you have changed your identity, or you have returned to Song Yuan's identity. It's a pity that you are arrogant and refuse to be a stand-in to kill your own child with your own hands, breaking all the emperor's plans.

But even with such a toss, the emperor still kept you and spoiled you, and even sent me to the uninhabited Wenxuan Garden in order to protect you. Li Shenlan, do you know that every time I am hungry there, I can't wait to cut you alive with 3,000 knives! ”

Li Shenlan sat there quietly and seemed to have no waves on the surface, only she knew in her heart that her heart was turbulent at the moment. Since knowing that she was the stand-in for Queen Rensi, Li Shenlan gradually withdrew herself from Yin Chen's feelings, but she didn't expect Yin Chen to be different from herself.

"So when I met Hakoye, I knew I had a chance, he was powerful even though he was trapped in the palace." Lu Xin suddenly smiled bitterly when he said this, "I gave him a body and he ruined you for me, do you see how cost-effective this deal is?" ”

Looking at Lu Xin's slightly sealed appearance, Li Shenlan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she had already given up on herself and wanted to kill herself desperately.

"Hakoye looks like a man, but he can't do things, I told him all the news about you, but he still doesn't feel at ease, so he has to check it. However, I have to admit that sometimes it is good to be cautious and careful, and this check really found a lot of things. ”

Lu Xin got up and walked to Li Shenlan and took the handkerchief, caressing the embroidery on it with his hand and smiling a little weirdly. Instinctive intuition told Li Shenlan that Lu Xin knew far more about the death of the second elder of the Song family than himself.

"Something to say."

"The embroidery style on this handkerchief is made of rolling needle embroidery, and there are no more than three embroiderers in the capital plus the embroidery workshop in the palace, and Hakoye's men have checked one by one and no one thinks that this handkerchief is embroidered by themselves. And what is even more coincidental is that this veil was found from a house on the outskirts of Beijing. The owner of the house seems to be called ...... Song what. ”

Li Shenlan's heartbeat almost missed a beat, and she knew in her heart that the owner of this handkerchief was Song Mu.

"Your name is Song Yuan, and the owner of the house is your biological parents. Hakoye's people went to find out the cause of their deaths, and guess what we know besides Li Mingyue? ”

Li Shenlan's eyes narrowed, she looked at Lu Xin's expression and felt a chill in her heart, every time she mentioned the death of the second elder of the Song family, she recalled Qin Ye's sachet. Even though Yin Chen said that it had nothing to do with him, the sachet was like a needle piercing his heart, like a fish in his throat for a long time.

"There were three groups of people around the house when those two old things died, and you should be able to guess who they were. Li Yunshan's, according to the agreement, is the one who protects them; Li Mingyue's people naturally went to take the lives of the two. And this third wave of people ......"

Lu Xin's face suddenly became exciting, and looking at Li Shenlan, who didn't know anything, she suddenly asked for no reason: "You used to really like the emperor, right?" ”

Li Shenlan didn't speak, but her body was already frozen in place, if she didn't guess wrong, this third wave of people was the people sent by Yin Chen led by Qin Ye.

"This third wave of people is the emperor's people, and the people sent to tell us that someone has already checked that place before this, if you guess correctly, these people are sent by you, but your people are all under the emperor's nose, and finding him will naturally let you know something you should know, so that you can live in the beautiful love you fantasize about. You said you weren't stupid, I almost laughed when I first learned the truth about this. ”

After speaking, Lu Xin couldn't stop laughing insolently, and Li Shenlan sat opposite like a joke being ridiculed.

"Do you know why Li Yunshan clearly promised to protect those two old things, but it was useless to stop Li Mingyue from doing so obviously? Because before Li Mingyue made a move, the emperor's people had already diverted the tiger from the mountain and lured Li Yunshan's people away, which is why Li Mingyue was quick and accurate when he did it, without a trace of surprise. ”

To put it bluntly, it was Yin Chen who acquiesced in Li Mingyue's assassination, and even supported the death of the second elder of the Song family.

"Why ......"

Li Shenlan didn't understand that the reason why she didn't believe that Yin Chen was involved in the sachet when she found it from the beginning was because she felt that the death of the second elder had no value or benefit to Yin Chen. She didn't believe it, even though Lu Xin's eyes at the moment did not have a trace of deception and cunning.

"Because only when those two people die, you can completely get rid of Li Yunshan's control, the emperor likes you and has a heart for you, so he can't allow Li Yunshan to be behind you! Li Shenlan, maybe you can't imagine that feelings can save a person in the future, and naturally they can also ruin a person. ”

"You talk nonsense! Why should I believe you, these words are just made up by you. As the emperor said, he sent people over just to check my background, and besides, why do you think that there were three waves of people in the first place! ”

Lu Xin chuckled, feeling that Li Shenlan was really stupid and terrible at the moment.

"Is it nonsense, you have a weight in your heart, if it weren't for the emperor's tricks, why did you find out the opposite of mine? As for why I brought you here to tell you this, it's just because I can't turn over at all, and the Queen Mother's people have given up on me, and I've been living in the cold palace for the rest of my life. It's just that I'm not happy, and naturally I don't want you to have a good time, I want you to think of your two vain fathers and mothers when you see the emperor for the rest of your life! ”

……

When Li Shenlan came out of the cold palace, it was raining heavily, and she was afraid that Li Shenlan would go back early to get an umbrella and not come back, and there was only Li Shenlan on the road.

What Lu Xin found was not completely different from himself, he remembered that when he asked Luo Baijue to investigate, he said that Qin Ye had indeed been to such a house, and according to the usual style of the secret guards, he was hidden on the tree, and there were traces of wear on the branches, and the weight of the person should be Qin Ye according to the damage.

Not only did he go, but he also went in the way of a secret agent, and Li Shenlan also knew that the tree that Luo Baijue said was the tree that he picked up the sachet in the first place.

"Can you be sure of the exact time?"

"The signs of wear on the branches are less noticeable, and I think it is because the tree itself is healing. But it should be inferred three to four months ago, and the specific date cannot be inferred. ”

And three to four months ago at that time, wasn't it the time when the second elder had an accident?

At that time, Li Shenlan always wanted to ask, but Yin Chen said that he didn't, and she believed it. But now the real answer is in front of him, just like Lu Xin said, Li Shenlan already has a certain number in her heart, so she is so sad.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Li Shenlan somehow walked into the Imperial Garden, the red color of the Imperial Garden is heard to be a flower from the Western Regions a while ago, called the Flower of the Other Side. At this time, it is the peak season of flowers. It's just that the rain hits like this, and the originally delicate and vulnerable flower has already lost its petals.

This flower is very magical, every time it blooms, you can only see the flowers and leaves.

According to the Buddha, this other side flower is also called Manzhu Sahua, which means the red flower that blooms in the heavenly realm. Legend has it that this flower is the flower of grafting, and the fragrance of the flower has magical powers, which can evoke the memories of the deceased during their lifetime. When the flowers are in full bloom, they look like a fiery red, the flowers bloom without leaves, and the leaves have no flowers. The nobles in the palace don't like unlucky things, but for some reason such flowers are transplanted in the imperial garden.

Li Shenlan stepped forward and folded one and held it up to her nose to smell it, but she didn't smell anything except the earthy smell from the rain. Her body was already soaked, and Li Shenlan felt a little cold, but she was still walking aimlessly in the imperial garden.

"Niangniang, Niangniang makes it easy to find slaves and maids. With such a heavy rain, you are drenched here alone, beware of catching a cold. ”

Shuqiu looked around before finding Li Shenlan, but when she came over, she saw Li Shenlan's face was pale, and she hurriedly held an umbrella and put the cloak on her hand again.

"Niangniang, what's the matter, this rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back first."

"You go back to Jinghe Palace to find your sister." Li Shenlan said, his body was shivering, and his voice was trembling.

"Niangniang, the old general Zhao and the young general went out today to attack the Nanban Yu Party, and Concubine Xiang Niangniang also went out of the palace to see off the two."

Yes, Concubine Xiang is no longer in the palace.

After returning to the palace, Shuqiu hurriedly boiled hot ginger tea and came over, but Li Shenlan said that she was sleepy after a few sips, and hurriedly took a bath and turned over and fell asleep.

It was not completely dark outside, Li Shenlan pulled up the curtain of the bed early and sat quietly on the bed in a daze. Thinking of Lu Xin's words in the cold palace, Li Shenlan felt that the blood in her body seemed to be coagulated.

Yin Chen lied to himself, or the encounter from the beginning was a scam. Li Yunshan used himself as a bargaining chip to turn over, dressed up like Empress Rensi and sent him to the palace, while Yin Chen had to worry about whether he would become Li Yunshan's help between every scene. He is like a chess piece, and like a spy who is not trusted by his master, and he will be constantly suspected wherever he goes.

Yin Chen could have prevented Li Mingyue from killing the second elder, but in order to completely turn against Li Yunshan, he acquiesced to Li Mingyue's actions, and it can be said that Yin Chen also participated in this persecution. And he thought he had killed Li Mingyue to avenge the second elder, but in fact, there were still fish that slipped through the net. It's just that the fish is too big, and she simply doesn't have the ability to kill him.

……

The previous dynasty mentioned the draft again, and it was not yet a three-year deadline, but there were not many people left who came in the draft that year, and Li Shenlan had a reputation that ruined her reputation, even if she was cleaned up in the end, there was still a stain. The ministers of the previous dynasty were all old men, and their thinking was also very old-fashioned.

"Your Majesty, don't say that Li Shenlan, as the daughter of the traitor Li Yunshan, is not worthy of serving by the emperor's side, just say that this matter between her and Hakoye seems to be nothing, but there is always a message that catches the wind and shadows. A country's concubine can't even keep her reputation, how can she convince the public! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that you love Li Shenlan, everyone in the Six Palaces is left alone, if Li Shenlan gives birth to a child, it can be regarded as helping the royal reproduction, but now her identity is embarrassing and she has no heirs. Your Majesty, you always have to think about your heirs, so that you won't even have a choice to establish a prince after a hundred years! ”

The ministers in the Heart Cultivation Hall have been kneeling for a day, and Yin Chen has been locking himself in the room and looking at the kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"Please think twice, even if you don't choose a draft, you can choose the daughters of a few ministers' families to serve in the palace first."

"Please think twice!"

"Enough! These are my family affairs, and it's not your turn to be here to think about it. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine misbehaved. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, if the concubine really has nothing to do with Hakoye, why does he have to stare at the concubine? ”

Even though Yin Chen was already angry, the minister headed by him still held on to it. To put it bluntly, they also have a daughter in the boudoir in their family, and they can't be sent to the palace to boost their power. What's more, Li Yunshan's accident and Li Shenlan were not harmed at all, which is unreasonable and unconvincing.

"Zhang Wen, don't think that I don't know what your idea is. There are one or two daughters in your family who are at the age of marriage, and you are holding on to the non-existent things of the concubine and Hakoye, just to send your daughters to the palace. What, do you want to be the second Lee Yoon-san? ”

"The emperor is angry, and the ministers have no such intentions!"

"Yes." The corners of Yin Chen's mouth suddenly hooked up a calculating smile, "Since you have no such heart, then I will be a good person to help your daughter draw a red line, and you will marry your daughter to the eldest son of the Jiang Yun family, and I will look very compatible with each other!" ”

To say that the minister who was called Zhang Wen at the beginning thought that Yin Chen was happy that he had decided to accept his daughter, then now it seems that his face has turned into the color of pig liver, and he dares to be angry and dare not speak.

As we all know, Zhang Wen and Jiang Yun are hostile to each other and have always been incompatible. Yin Chen formed these two families, isn't it just killing chickens and monkeys to signal the people behind to shut up obediently.
