Wei Yining was taken away, and the county lord of Duanmin was completely confused, and hurriedly asked the maid to hurry up and bring the cloak, she was going to see the queen mother.

Although Wei Lanqi was also worried, she was still calm in the end, and grabbed her and said, "It's useless to ask the queen mother at this time, don't be busy going first." ”

"If the queen can't keep Yining, who will be useful? Do you want to go directly to the emperor? Or go and plead with that Zeng Lifei? "Lord Duanmin only felt that it was extremely chaotic, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

She has long been accustomed to going to the queen for everything, and subconsciously always feels that there is nothing that the queen can't solve.

Wei Lanqi had to patiently help her analyze: "County Lord, do you believe that musk was put in Yining?" ”

"I don't believe it if I am killed," Lord Duanmin is very sure about this: "Yi Ning disdains to use this kind of shady trick, not to mention why does she plot against Concubine Zeng Li?" There was no enmity between them. ”

"yes, so it must be a conspiracy." Wei Lanqi nodded and said: "But it is useless for us to believe in her, in the eyes of outsiders, Yining is a person from the queen's side, so it is inevitable that they will think that it is the queen's mother." Even we can't be sure now whether the person who created this conspiracy is only targeting Yining, or if they want to pull the queen into the water together, so it won't work for us to ask the queen, and it may even hurt the queen because of it. ”

Listening to Wei Lanqi's words, Lord Duanmin seemed to understand a little, but this also made her even more frightened and anxious: "If it's really like what you said, then the queen mother...... So what do we do? ”

"Don't panic, county lord, now we have to calm down to deal with things properly," Wei Lanqi bit her lip and said: "No matter who the creator of this conspiracy wants to harm, the first link is on Yining's body, as long as Yining is proven innocent, her conspiracy will be self-defeating." ”

"Yes, yes, what you said is so right, as long as it is proved that Yining is innocent, then the queen will naturally be innocent." Lord Duanmin finally showed a smile.

But then he made a bitter face: "But how can we prove that Yining is innocent?" Those people in the Criminal Justice Division are ruthless, what if they punish her? ”

"With what I know about Yining, she will never be beaten into a trick, but we also have to try to make her suffer less." Wei Lanqi said: "On the one hand, we have to inquire about the news from Yining, and we have to find a way to find someone to help. ”

"Who's going to help? I've thought about all the people in this palace," Lord Duanmin was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Except for the queen, that is, the queen mother and Concubine Chen Shu, but the queen mother has only asked about things in this palace for many years." I begged her for this matter, but I was afraid that the emperor would be even more angry because of this. Even if Concubine Chen Shu is willing to help, the emperor may not be willing to listen to her! Now that Concubine Zeng Li is favored in the pepper room, the emperor will inevitably feel that the other concubines are hostile to her, and there will inevitably be mustard in his heart. ”

"I thought so too, so I thought about asking for help outside the palace." Wei Lanqi said: "I will go to Shao's guards in a while and ask him to find a way to deliver the news to the Xiao family and the Yan family, although Sister Xiao is a quasi-crown princess, but Mrs. Xiao is highly respected and has always been relied on by the emperor." Not to mention Lord Yan, Yining saved the lives of the nine girls of his family, and the Yan family will not stand idly by. If they do come forward, there is a good chance that there will be some relief. ”

The county lord of Duanmin thought it was true when he heard this, and wanted to go to Shao Nan with Wei Lanqi, but Wei Lanqi said: "It's better for me to go alone, the county lord is here, don't go anywhere, if there is any news, it's better to know as soon as possible." ”

At this time, the snow outside was already a foot deep, and Wei Lanqi put on a cloak, changed into sheepskin boots, and went out with only a maid.

Wei Lanqi looked at the guards patrolling outside, and there was no Shao Nan and no Yan Yuntang.

They had no way to go directly to the guardhouse, so they had to ask a passing guard.

"Neither of them has a shift today," the guard, who knew Wei Lanqi, spoke very politely, "If you have any problems, come back tomorrow." ”

Wei Lanqi is worried, where can she wait for tomorrow?

Besides, even if he sees Shao Nan tomorrow, he has to be on duty in the palace, and he can't go out to report the news immediately.

At this moment, a team of patrolling guards walked by, and Wei Lanqi saw Guan Zuo at a glance, he seemed to be taller, perhaps because he was thinner than before, so he looked taller.

Facing Guan Zuo, Wei Lanqi was hesitant in her heart, because she had teased him for a while, and although she threw away her hand, she was still embarrassed to see him again.

But her hesitation was only for a moment, and her embarrassment was too small compared to Wei Yining's life.

"Guan Guard, can you take a step to speak?" Wei Lanqi plucked up the courage to step forward and stopped Guan Zuo.

Someone among the guards snickered, Guan Zuo's face was cold and hard, like a thousand years of ice, he originally planned to walk over without stopping, Wei Lanqi was a wound on his heart, and it was finally scabbed, and he didn't want to expose his scars again.

What is not to be angry is that when he caught a glimpse of Wei Lanqi's small nose with cold red, and the cat's eyes were full of tears, his legs suddenly became a thousand pounds and could no longer move.

Wei Lanqi has been outside for a long time, her cloak is covered with snow, and her long eyelashes are also stained with snow foam, she raised her head, her face was full of pleading: "Guan Guard, I have something to ask you for help, I know you must be very disdainful of me, but now that the matter is urgent, please be sure to help." I owe you this favor, and I will definitely find a way to repay it in the future. ”

"Say it!" Sekizo spat out two words quickly and then closed his mouth tightly, as if he would betray himself if he said one more word.

"Yining, she was taken away by Chief Qu for questioning, saying that she found musk in the purse she gave to Concubine Zeng Li," Wei Lanqi sniffed and said, "I want to ask you to tell Shao Guards about this matter, if you can't find him, tell my eldest brother-in-law the same." Let them go to Xiao's house and Yan's house to deliver letters, and find a way to help Yining. ”

"Okay." Sekizo said yes and turned to leave, because his chest was already hurting and he was almost out of breath.

"Wait!" Wei Lanqi chased after him again: "There is one more thing ......"

In a hurry, she reached out and grabbed Guan Zuo's sleeve: "This matter must not be known to the old lady of the Wei family, her old man can't withstand this fright." ”

Guan Zuo lowered his eyes and looked at Wei Lanqi's hand holding his sleeve, because he came out in a hurry, Wei Lanqi didn't bring a hand stove or a leather tube with a gauntlet, and at this time, a pair of small hands were already red from the cold.

Guan Zuo endured and endured, so he didn't clench these hands into his arms.

"I see." Guan Zuo's tone was still cold and hard, and he withdrew his hand and turned away.
