When the banquet was about to end, someone quietly handed a letter to Ning Yanyue, and after reading the letter, Ning Yanyue went out for a walk in the name of drunkenness, and Ning Ji nodded without suspicion.

There were quite a few people who left the banquet in the middle of the feast, but not many really caught people's attention.

Xie Lan just found that when he was drinking boringly, he suddenly found that the fourth brother Xie Xuan next to him was missing, and when he looked at Mrs. Chu again, he saw Mrs. Chu talking to Ning Ji, as if he hadn't noticed the situation here.

So Xie Lan simply took advantage of the chaos to leave Fengyitai, as if he was going outside to walk around and drink.

He had indeed drunk a lot of wine just now, and when the wind blew, he felt a little dizzy in his head, so he walked along the path among the flowers, and gradually the surrounding environment was more barren, except that he heard the scolding of a woman from behind the high wall.

What is this place? I didn't expect that there would be such a place in the palace wall compound.

Xie Lan was a little puzzled, and as soon as she walked over there, she was confronted by an elderly palace maid in a coarse linen dress who hurriedly ran over with her head down holding a wooden basin, and Xie Lan was hit by her before she could dodge, and the clothes in the wooden basin fell to the ground.

The elder palace maid realized that she had collided with the nobleman, and hurriedly knelt down in the place and begged for mercy.

At this time, the aunt in charge heard the news, and when she saw this, she immediately knelt down to confess, and did not forget to reprimand the elderly palace maid: "His Royal Highness the King of Song forgives her sins, this slave and maid clumsily collided with His Royal Highness, and the maid immediately beat her to the court prison." ”

Hearing the Ye Ting Prison, the elder palace maid was very panicked and scared, but she cautiously raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Xie Lan: "Your Highness spare your life, Your Highness spare your life, the maid did not mean it, I beg Your Highness to spare your life." ”

Xie Lan saw the appearance of the old palace maid clearly, and was frightened by her face; Her face was terrifying, as if it had been deliberately destroyed, and the right side of her face was only pitted, and she couldn't see her original appearance at all.

The aunt in charge asked the elderly palace maid to be dragged away, and Xie Lan asked her, "Why is there such an ugly person in the palace?" "According to the rules of the palace, only those with good facial features can be elected to the palace.

"Back to Your Highness, that ugly slave was already like this when he was sent to the Huanyi Bureau nineteen years ago; I heard that she was sent here because she was guilty of the queen's mother. The aunt in charge replied.

"My queen mother?" Xie Lan felt a little strange, and after thinking about it, she said to her aunt in charge, "She just made an unintentional mistake, let her stay here." ”

The aunt in charge hurriedly said: "Your Highness is benevolent, and the servant will reprimand her fiercely." ”

Just now, Xie Lan obviously felt that the way the elderly palace maid looked at him was an indescribable strangeness.

Xie Lan didn't think much about it at that time, and he didn't remember the elderly palace maid who was called the ugly slave afterward.

When he walked around outside and then returned to Fengyitai, the banquet over there was almost over, and there were few people left in the front hall of Fengyitai; He saw Princess Guanghua hurriedly carrying Xiao Yueze out, so he called him: "Yun Ci, Yun Ci, you go out of the palace with me first, the eldest sister has something to say to you." ”

Xie Lan didn't know what was going on: "Eldest sister, what's wrong?" ”

"Something happened in the back, anyway, don't ask too much, so as not to stain your ears." Princess Guanghua's face was not good-looking, and then she forcibly took Xie Lan away.

Until she left the palace, Xie Lan didn't know what was going on on Fengyi Terrace, so she followed the eldest sister out of the palace in a daze.

When they were separated, Princess Hua was still very worried and told him: "Yun Ci, you'd better enter the palace as little as possible during this time, so as not to be contaminated by someone who is not clean and damage your reputation." ”

"Eldest sister is joking, right? There is no one in the palace who is not clean. Xie Lan felt strange, Princess Guanghua had always been gentle to people, and it was rare for her to lash out directly as soon as she opened her mouth.

"The human heart is sinister, don't underestimate it." Princess Guanghua snorted lightly and said.

Xie Lan was always confused, and only after returning to the Song Palace, did he hear that the matter had spread all over the royal capital.

It is said that at the full moon banquet of Zhu Xiaogongzi, someone actually found that Xie Xuan, the king of Jin, and Ning Yanyue, the quasi-princess of the king of Wu, had a tryst in the apse, which attracted everyone to watch; King Wu witnessed his wife's tryst with his younger brother and almost fainted.

King Xie Xuan and Miss Ning didn't expect to be discovered, and their faces were full of panic.

At that time, many officials and wives in Beijing saw it, even if the royal family felt ashamed and wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it, but now it's just a moment before rumors are flying all over the sky.

Now Xie Lan understands that the person who Princess Guanghua said is Ning Yanyue.

People's hearts are skewed, no matter how good Princess Guanghua once thought that the girl of the Ning family was, but now that such a thing has happened, in her identity as an older sister, she will naturally blame most of the faults on Ning Yanyue, and even feel that Ning Yanyue is a woman with the same ghost as Xia Xin.

It's just that in fact, there are a lot of doubts about this matter, it stands to reason that Xie Xuan, the king of Jin, and Ning Yanyue should have never met, and Ning Yanyue and Wu Wang Xie Ye have a childhood friendship and deep feelings, so why do you have a tryst between Xie Xuan and Ning Yanyue.

However, most people only believe that seeing is believing, and as for what the reasons behind it, outsiders will not delve into it at all.

Xie Lan hadn't met Ning Yanyue a few times, but she only knew from Xuan Jinhuan that because of Ning Yanyue, the Ning family had been secretly helping Xie Ye; According to this premise, it is impossible for Ning Yanyue to suddenly give up Xie Ye, who is deeply in love with her, and vote for Xie Xuan, so it is very likely that she was plotted by someone.

Recently, I have seen too many conspiracy conspiracy, and now Xie Lan feels that it may be a conspiracy when he looks at everything.

But who would have designed Ning Yanyue? It's not easy to say about this matter, the most suspicious are the Yan and Chu families, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the Yan family did it or the Chu family; Maybe the Chu family wanted to simply cut off the marriage between Xie Ye and the Ning family, or the Yan family wanted to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, which not only tarnished Xie Xuan's reputation, but also ruined the marriage between Xie Ye and the Ning family.

It seems that the Yan family or the Chu family will benefit the most, but it is difficult to say what the purpose is.

The only thing that is certain is that the marriage between Xie Ye and Ning Yanyue was absolutely ruined.

Even if Xie Ye has a deep affection for Ning Yanyue, even if he believes that Ning Yanyue was designed by someone, it is impossible for him to marry Ning Yanyue as Princess Wu again, otherwise Xie Ye will become a joke in the entire royal capital. And Ning Ji is likely to persuade Xie Ye to give up Ning Yanyue, and then find ways to marry another daughter of the Ning family for Xie Ye to maintain the relationship between Xie Ye and the Ning family, so as to continue to get the help of the Ning family.

As for how this matter will end in the end, that will be a matter for the future.
