Chapter 39: Severed Hands

Hearing this, the eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then did let out a chuckle.

"Huang Eniang said to the palace that you are smart, I still don't believe it, but now it seems that Jieyu is more than smart. I'm afraid that these warblers and Yanyan in the royal brother's harem will be able to compare with Jieyu in Xiangfei Niangniang. ”

"The princess praised it."

Li Shenlan didn't expect the eldest princess to admit it so easily, but this was okay, and it made Li Shenlan confirm her thoughts.

"Can the princess find out the cause of He'an's distress in the first place?"

This point was naturally checked, and He An had a bad stomach because of eating a roadside stall, so he stopped and went to the forest to relieve himself.

Later, the eldest princess not only arrested the little guy who sold it and tortured her, but also searched the little guy's family. Even when Li Mingyue appeared later, someone was sent to follow.

"Does the princess know that Shen Lan has a younger sister in the family?"

"What does Jieyu mean by this?"

"I think the princess should have also checked Shen Lan's life experience, saying that Shen Lan only entered Beijing last year, and has been living in the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing before. But after entering Beijing, I thought that I could finally enjoy more family fun with my parents, but I didn't want my third sister to have a big opinion of me.

And the last time Wang Guiren had a miscarriage, she was judged later by Xia to be submissive to the third sister's subordinates early in the morning. And since He'an came back, everything has come for me.

Shen Lan guessed that maybe the person who saved He'an in the first place was the third sister of the palace, and everything was just a play designed by her. ”

"Impossible."

As soon as Li Shenlan finished speaking, the eldest princess denied it with a definite face.

"Are you a fool to be a ghost? This kind of thing is naturally determined only after it has been investigated. ”

"Then why don't the princess make a bet with this palace and send someone to check without her knowing to see who this person is?"

Even though Li Shenlan said so, she has believed it for so long, and the eldest princess is a good-looking person, although she will not be gullible, she is still a little shaken in the end.

"Besides, what happened at today's banquet, after all, I still haven't found out, isn't the eldest princess curious? The palace does not hide from the princess, I met Li Mingyue in the middle of today's banquet, and she did not enter the palace as a princess at all.

What is so noble in the Taiwei Mansion, how can she hide it with her temperament? So what do you think she's afraid of? ”

Afraid of what?

If everything Li Shenlan said was true, then what Li Mingyue was afraid of was nothing more than being seen by the eldest princess and seeing through her identity.

Seeing that the eldest princess was silent in thought, Li Shenlan knew that her words had worked.

"Then the princess will go and find out first, Shen Lan is waiting for news."

After speaking, Li Shenlan saluted the eldest princess in a proper manner, and helped Bang Chun to walk slowly towards Yongfu Palace.

And after Li Shenlan walked away, the eldest princess whispered something, and a person immediately appeared kneeling in front of her in the dark.

"I went to check Li Yue's residence overnight, and none of the neighbors were allowed to be spared."

If everything was really Li Mingyue's doing, and she had been tricked by her for so long, Yin Jingya thought that she would never let her go.

Besides, Li Shenlan, since she knew that Yin Chen had agreed to Bang Chun's marriage, she began to be busy embroidering the wedding dress.

Li Shenlan's embroidery has always been good, and after entering the Taiwei Mansion, the Taiwei found a special person until. The current level is in Bangchun's words, and even the embroidery girl in the palace can't compare.

"Niangniang really doesn't have to worry about this for slaves."

Although Bang Chun was happy in his heart, he was embarrassed to let Li Shenlan rush to work for him day after day. I heard that the Ministry of Rites has planned a good day for itself, and the third day of the next lunar month is said to be a rare auspicious day.

"What do you know about this girl, this daughter's family wears red clothes once in her life, I naturally want to embroider it for you and make you the most beautiful bride in the capital."

"Mother's ......"

In fact, Li Shenlan is also selfish, and the wedding dress in her hand was embroidered by Song's mother back then. When I entered the palace, I didn't bring it in for fear of falling into the palace, but I specially asked someone to go to the Taiwei Mansion to get it the day before yesterday.

On the peacock embroidered by Song Mu, Li Shenlan added some lilies, implying a hundred years of good harmony.

"When the mother of the palace put this set of clothes in my hand, she said that I would be the most beautiful bride in the world. It's a pity ......."

It's a pity that Li Shenlan can't wear red in her life, and she can't get a couple for a lifetime.

"Mother's ......"

Bang Chun didn't expect to touch Li Shenlan's sad place, and couldn't bear to call softly.

"So, you have to carry the blessings of your mother and me, and be Qin Ye's sweetheart with joy."

Bang Chun responded shyly, looking at the embroidery work on his hands, and thinking of Qin Ye's appearance, he was also happy.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing with this hand, I look like a sachet. Didn't you give him a sachet a while ago, why did you embroider another one? ”

Hearing this, Bang Chun was a little angry and put down the work at hand.

"Niangniang also said, how long did you say that the slave embroidered that sachet last time. It's easy to give it to him, and after wearing it for a few days, I told me that I lost it. The angry slave didn't want to pay attention to him for two days. ”

This time it was Li Shenlan's turn to smile, "Boy, you have a bigger heart." Besides, the Qin guards are the people in front of the emperor, and they are very busy running around every day. It's no wonder he's lost.

Besides, you're angry, aren't you honestly embroidering another one on your hands? ”

"That's a slave and a slave who pity him!"

Bang Chun was still talking angrily, which caused Li Shenlan to laugh non-stop.

"Speaking of which, the emperor has also given me so many things, what should I send to the emperor......"

"Don't worry, Niangniang, wait until one day the slave maid finds Qin Ye to ask and see what the emperor's preferences are."

"It's okay, but at the beginning, I was called a Qin guard, but now it's a Qin leaf?"

The two were arguing, and Xiao Shunzi outside came in to spread the word, saying that the father-in-law Hou beside Yin Chen was here.

"The slave asks Lan Jieyu for peace."

"What's the matter, why bother my father-in-law to come in person?"

"This ......"

Hou Zhong swallowed, but he didn't hold back a sentence for a long time.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor prepared a gift for Niangniang, but when he came, the emperor instructed that Niangniang must go out to get ...... in person."

What gifts can't be sent in directly?

Li Shenlan was a little curious, remembering that Yin Chen said that he wanted to make pastries for himself, and couldn't help asking:

"Is it the emperor's dim sum?"

"This ...... It's sweeter than a snack. ”

Not dim sum, "That's beaded jewelry?" ”

"That's a lot more valuable than jewelry."

It's not snacks, it's not jewelry, so what else can Yin Chen give?

Li Shenlan was also curious, and couldn't hold back her temperament anymore and got up and trotted out.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Yongfu Palace, he saw Yin Chen standing there alone.

The begonia flowers that bloomed on the wall in Yongfu Palace seemed to feel sorry for Yin Chen, covering him from the sun. The breeze blew, and the begonia petals fell on Yin Chen's shoulders like that delicate little girl with the wind.

Dressed in Xuanqing regular clothes, the gentleman is sassy. Seeing Li Shenlan come out, her eyes immediately shone brightly, and she took three steps and two steps to Li Shenlan's side.

"What good things did the emperor prepare for his concubines?"

"Shen Lan Jue, can I give myself to you?"

Hearing this, Li Shenlan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

"The emperor and the prince are looking at the concubines?"

Yin Chen also laughed, and naturally led Li Shenlan to the small kitchen of Yongfu Palace.

"I will frame you, I wanted to make you snacks today, but I thought I wouldn't do it, so I came over and pulled with you."

Whenever she is alone with Yin Chen, Li Shenlan always naturally becomes the youngest daughter's family. I have to say that Yin Chen is really good at pleasing girls, and every time she hears Li Shenlan, she can't get angry.

"Then how can it be regarded as a gift from Aci, it is clear that I made it myself."

"Ahh......h

Before Yin Chen finished speaking, he conjured a brocade box from behind him and put it in Li Shenlan's hand.

"What is this?"

"You just open it and look at it."

Li Shenlan opened the box as she said, but saw a pale yellow purse inside. Originally, there was nothing unusual about a purse, but it was embroidered with the pattern of Fushui Mountain and embroidered with the decoration of lily of the valley.

The piles and piles are Li Shenlan's memories with Yin Chen, and his thoughts can be seen.

"The emperor embroidered it?"

"I don't have that ability, but I drew patterns and found embroidery girls." Even so, it shows his intentions.

Li Shenlan was happy in her heart, and was about to put it on her body immediately, but was stopped by Yin Chen and motioned for her to open it and take a look.

I saw that there was a paper-cut elephant of Li Shenlan and Yin Chen, and I heard that Yin Chen learned to cut it little by little. Although it is not exquisite, it is also extremely attentive.

"I know that there is a custom of folk marriage, and the birth date of the two people is drawn up to be married, and people are enshrined in the ancestral temple. It's just that this palace is not as ...... as the people."

Yin Chen's meaning Li Shenlan understands that the royal family pays attention to the dignity of the concubine, and Yin Chen said that there is only one queen. Li Shenlan never thought of overstepping the rules, Yin Chen could do this, she was already satisfied.

"The concubine has never thought of being the emperor's wife, even if she is a concubine, as long as she can be by Ah Ci's side and be so happy forever, it is already the greatest luck."

If this is said to Song Yuan a year ago, I am afraid that she will not believe that she said it herself.

Here, the two of them began to make pastries affectionately, and Wang Jun'er sat in Shoukang Palace again.

It is said that Wang Jun'er has been running to Shoukang Palace almost every day in the past few days, and because of the protection of the Queen Mother, the people in the harem are not very difficult for her.

"You run to the mourning house every day, and you must put some thoughts on the emperor."

Wang Jun'er smiled and continued to rub her shoulders for the Queen Mother, and said softly:

"The Queen Mother is clear in her heart, and now, the emperor is only focused on Nalan Jieyu. Not counting the last time I saw the emperor at the Duanyang banquet, the concubines can't count how long they haven't seen the emperor. ”

"You girl, there are times when you are favored in this harem, there are times when you fall out of favor, there are no flowers for a hundred days, are you young and afraid that the emperor will not favor you more?"

"The Queen Mother has been in this palace for so long, and she naturally sees it much more thoroughly than the concubines. It's just that everyone knows the emperor's current situation, and the people in this harem are favored and don't fight. ”

"No hurry...... By the way, did everything you did last time? ”

Since Lu Xin went to the cold palace, there is no chance for the queen mother in the harem to use people. can't always let the eldest princess interfere, but fortunately, Wang Jun'er is a brainless person, and finally defected to his side beforehand.

"The Queen Mother rest assured, everything is in order. If you don't know pharmacology, you can't find it. ”

"That's good, I've always been relieved of you doing things......"

On this day, Qin Ye hurriedly entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw that Yin Chen seemed to know his intentions, so he could only try his best to reply steadily.

"Your Majesty, she...... Hands-on. ”

"It's over?"

"Yes...... Still...... He also replaced the person in the middle of the captain's delivery of the letter, and sent a box. ”

Qin Ye said and handed the box to Hou Zhong and handed it to Yin Chen.

Yin Chen was also curious, so he opened it casually. But the scene in the box was something that even he couldn't help but be taken aback, and when he looked at Qin Ye again, he knew what was inside.

"Your Majesty...... Do you want to send this thing to Master Lan? ”

If it is really sent, I am afraid that if I don't go crazy, I will be scared to death. Yin Chen frowned and looked at the contents of the box, and after returning to his senses, he still opened the letter from the Taiwei to Li Shenlan as usual.

The letter was the same as Yin Chen guessed, Taiwei still asked Li Shenlan to investigate, and because he had not given Taiwei any news, he directly told Li Shenlan about his own people placed in various places in the palace.

"Go, according to the list on the letter, do not leave any of them, do not show traces. As for this box......"

Yin Chen was obviously hesitating, but in the end he was still very relieved.

"Send it over as usual!"

When Li Shenlan received the letterhead, she was embroidering a sachet for Yin Chen, and embroidering it for Yin Chen was nothing more than the Lingyun Golden Dragon, but the dragon's eye was extremely difficult to embroider. This one eye alone took Li Shenlan two days.

Seeing that Bang Chun also sent a box, Li Shenlan still felt strange, but after thinking about it, she estimated that it was the second elder of the Song family who sent some.

I didn't wait to open the letter after reading it, I just took the box and opened it defenselessly.

"Ahh

There was nothing else in that box, but a bloody hand!

It was bloodstained, but Li Shenlan still recognized it at a glance, and the ring on her hand was the plain silver ring that Song's mother had worn all her life.

Bang Chun also saw that thing in the next second after Li Shenlan screamed, and although he was scared in his heart, he still went up to support the crumbling Li Shenlan.

Li Shenlan squeezed Bang Chun's hand tightly, her eyes were frightened, more worried and incredulous. Slightly stunned, he glanced at Bang Chun, but his hand was trembling at all.

Li Shenlan was in no mood to cry, but the tears were like bursting the river, and the big ones fell down.

"Impossible...... Impossible......"

Her voice had become choked, and Li Shenlan only felt that the blood in her body was frozen, and the hand in her head was intertwined with Song Mu's smiling face.

The next moment, Li Shenlan went crazy and opened the two letters, the letter from the captain did not mention Mother Song at all, and there was no threat. And the letter from the Song family seems to have been written before the accident, and there is no wave when it comes out to express greetings.

Li Shenlan turned her head to look at the severed hand again, even though the tears had hazy eyes, Li Shenlan knew in her heart that it was Song's mother's hand.

"Impossible...... Impossible, Bang Chun, Bang Chun, we will leave the palace...... Let's go to the emperor, and I'll explain things clearly to him...... We are out of the palace ......."

At this time, Li Shenlan was already crying silently, and the so-called calm and so-called analysis had long been left behind by Li Shenlan at this time.

Now there is only one thought for her, to go out of the palace and go to the Song family.

However, just when Bang Chun pulled Li Shenlan and relieved her to calm down, a report came from outside: The eldest princess is here.
