Chapter 499: Things Are More Complicated Than Imagined
As long as she doesn't leave, any request from Yan'er, the three princes will agree, and therefore, Princess Jiahe got a token from the three princes, which is a symbol that she can enter and leave the palace at will, but every time she comes to the palace, she can only bring one maid, and the others have to wait outside the palace.
Princess Jiahe agreed, and before leaving, she gave Yan'er a pure blonde hairpin, which Yan'er liked very much and carefully put it away.
And after Princess Jiahe left the Three Kings' Mansion, she returned to the Yanguo Post House, where Gu Shun and Yue Qingming were already waiting for her.
Yue Qingming saw her walk in with a smug face, smiled too, and said, "It seems that Princess Jiahe went to the Three Kings' Mansion this time, and things are going very smoothly." ”
Princess Jiahe sat down happily, with a smug smile on her face: "That's natural, this princess got Yan'er's help almost effortlessly!" ”
Yan'er?
Yue Qingming thought about it, it should be the name of the Yan Guo girl who was hidden in the mansion by the third prince.
Yue Qingming said: "Princess Jiahe, tell us the specific details of your meeting with that Yan'er today." ”
"Good!"
The matter was simple, and Princess Jiahe only spent a few cups of tea to finish speaking.
Of course, their planner was more complicated, but they didn't expect Yan'er to be so anxious to leave the Three Princes' Mansion, so they took the initiative to ask Princess Jiahe to take her away, so that their plan went so smoothly.
Yue Qingming touched her chin, it seems that Yan'er did not voluntarily stay in the Three Princes' Mansion, it is naturally good to have her in the Three Princes' Mansion to help them find evidence, but Yan'er's performance in front of the Three Princes was so bad before, and now she suddenly shows goodwill, will the Three Princes believe that her purpose is simple?
This is also what Gu Shun is worried about, he said: "If the third prince suspects that Yan'er is close to his purpose, will Yan'er be implicated?" ”
"Probably not," Princess Jiahe said, "This palace looks at the third prince like this, and seems to like Yan'er very much, and is afraid that she will run away without permission, and there are many people around her who are watching her." ”
"How much?"
"This ......" Princess Jiahe was a little helpless: "This is the first time this princess has met Yan'er, I only know that no matter where she goes, there are people with her, how many people there are, and this princess didn't look carefully!" ”
Yue Qingming subconsciously frowned, if Yan'er was followed everywhere, then it would not be easy to rely solely on Yan'er's strength to find evidence in the Three Kings' Mansion, and it might even be like Gu Shun said, it would affect Yan'er.
Princess Jiahe saw Yue Qingming's expression suddenly became serious, and asked cautiously: "Yue Qingming, why do you have such an expression, is there something wrong with what this princess did?" ”
"No," Yue Qingming glanced up at her, and said, "It's just that things will be a little more complicated than we thought." ”
"So what are we going to do next?"
"That's it, Princess Jiahe, you go to the Three Kings' Mansion a few more times to see the situation, but don't act rashly, and come back if you find anything."
"Good!"
When Yue Qingming returned to Mingyue Tower, Ruyi hurriedly ran to her and whispered, "Miss, the queen is sitting in the private room in the backyard now, go over quickly." ”
Yue Qingming was very surprised: "The queen mother? When did she come? ”
"About half an hour ago."
Yue Qingming hurriedly walked to the backyard, and said anxiously: "The queen mother came to Mingyue Tower for such an important matter, why didn't you send someone to tell me?" ”
"It's the queen mother who said to let you be busy with your business first, and you don't need to be informed."
Yue Qingming sighed helplessly, and then quickly walked to the room where the queen mother was, and when she saw her, she was about to salute, but the queen mother smiled and held her hand, and said, "Why do you have to make a big bow every time?" Qingming, when we meet in private in the future, you don't have to salute. ”
"This ...... Not in line, right? ”
"What's wrong with this, this palace is your stepmother, this palace says no, then don't use it!"
“…… All right. ”
The queen took Yue Qingming's hand and sat down, and then asked her, "How are you doing?" ”
Yue Qingming was stunned for a moment and replied, "Things are going well. ”
"Have you found out who sent someone to assassinate Jiang Qianbai behind his back?"
Yue Qingming looked at the queen mother cautiously: "It's just a suspicious candidate, and I haven't found evidence yet." ”
"Who is it?"
Yue Qingming pursed her lips, she only now knew why the queen mother appeared in the Mingyue Tower, although on the surface she and Jiang Qianbai did not have a good relationship, but she was still very worried about Jiang Qianbai's safety.
The queen mother saw Yue Qingming's hesitant appearance, frowned, and asked: "This palace knows, if you suspect a person, you must be very sure, in this case, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence, tell this palace, who is that person?" ”
Yue Qingming sighed and said, "It's the third prince." ”
"The Third Prince?" The queen mother really frowned this time, she didn't believe it: "Isn't the third prince on good terms with Jiang Qianbai, they met some time ago, how could he send someone to assassinate Jiang Qianbai?" ”
"His real purpose is not Jiang Qianbai, but Jiang Qiancheng."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that the third prince wants to use the assassination of Jiang Qianbai to tell Jiang Qianbai not to stand with Jiang Qiancheng, and mention it in front of Jiang Qianbai in many ways, so that he can regain the position of the crown prince that originally belonged to him."
The queen mother frowned tightly, her mood was a little complicated, the third prince did this in order to let Jiang Qianbai regain the position of crown prince? But...... There are so many ways to persuade, so why choose the most dangerous one?
Yue Qingming poured a cup of tea for the queen mother, handed the teacup to her, and said: "The queen mother must have a hard time believing this, but I think I will be able to find evidence soon." ”
"What are your plans?"
"I can't tell you just yet."
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in understanding: "Also, if you want to find evidence, you must be very careful, otherwise it is very likely that the next person to be injured will be you, so be careful." ”
Yue Qingming looked at the sky that had already darkened outside, and asked, "It's already so late, has the queen mother seen Jiang Qianbai?" ”
The queen shook her head.
Yue Qingming asked her with a smile: "Then does the queen want to stay in Mingyue Tower and have dinner together, or go to the Five Princes' Mansion to have dinner with Jiang Qianbai and Wan'er?" ”
The queen mother smiled, patted Yue Qingming's hand, and said, "Jiang Qiancheng is not here with you today, and the palace is dining with you, don't you mind?" ”
"How so? I can't ask for it. ”
