From the very beginning, Wen Xiuyan decided to take action against Lan Ke and the prince, but after a few trials, this Lan Ke is not as easy to deal with as Lan Ke seems on the surface.

Therefore, Wen Xiuyan bribed Gardenia and asked her to reveal the whereabouts of Lan Ke and the prince, and used a trick to disguise herself, pretending to do something to Lan Ke, but in fact, she wanted to use the prince to put Lan Ke in a situation where she could not fight back.

At this moment, even if Lan Ke wants to explain the truth of the matter to the Queen Mother, Wen Xiuyan can calm down, this plan can be described as seamless, just with the yellow-haired girl in front of her, she is not her opponent at all!

Thinking about it, the sneer in Wen Xiuyan's eyes was even worse.

At this time, on a white marble corridor leading to Lanyue Palace, two chamberlains were hurrying by, but they were stopped by a woman wearing a dark cyan palace skirt in front.

Gardenia glanced at the two of them, and then asked the two lightly, "What does Concubine Yue Niangniang have to tell me to do today?" ”

The two attendants, one tall and one short, are the servants who serve closely by Concubine Yue's side, and they are also the people who corresponded with Gardenia not long ago.

It seemed that they didn't expect Gardenia to take the initiative to come to them, and both of them were shocked by Gardenia, but soon, they came back to their senses and saluted Gardenia before saying: "Back to Aunt Gardenia's words, Niangniang let us not act rashly, and perform our duties, you can serve Miss Lan in the Heart Cultivation Hall with peace of mind." ”

Hearing this, Gardenia nodded, then smiled, took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to them: "I heard on the way here that Lan Ke was taken by the Queen Mother to ask about it, I am afraid that Miss Lan will become a subordinate of Niangniang, and if Concubine Yueniang makes a career in the future, please don't forget Gardenia." ”

Gardenia is slightly older than the two, and her status in the palace is also high, and now she is polite to these two people, but it makes them very useful, and without waiting for them to refuse, Gardenia put the silver into their sleeves.

The two chamberlains showed a smile on their faces, and Gardenia's eyes flashed slightly, as if they asked inadvertently: "By the way, this afternoon, Concubine Yue Niangniang took His Royal Highness the Prince to the Imperial Garden to chat, I heard that Concubine Yue's relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not bad, and I don't know if this news is true or false?" ”

After hearing this, the tall and short two looked at each other, and then smiled at Gardenia and said: "This matter is not very clear, but in the afternoon, Concubine Yue used some peach blossom cake for His Royal Highness the Prince, and told His Royal Highness the Prince about the past of the Queen's Mother, and His Royal Highness the Prince and Concubine Yue Niangniang are not as strange as they were at the beginning." ”

The prince ate the peach blossom cake of the moon concubine?

Gardenia made a note in her heart and thanked the two of them: "I see, thank you for the two public announcements, it's not too early, I won't delay the two fathers-in-law, but please don't forget to say a few kind words for me in front of Concubine Yue." ”

"Definitely! Certain! ”

Gardenia was generous, and she got her benefits, and these two chamberlains were particularly easy to talk to.

After seeing them go back, Gardenia turned around and went back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Although Jin Yantang asked people to interrogate these two chamberlains, for the sake of insurance, Gardenia proposed to use his undercover identity to meet these two people, and so far, it is a small gain.

After half an hour passed, in the main hall, Shang Kelan was delaying time with the Queen Mother and Concubine Yue.

"I have already asked the Queen Mother to inspect the dinner used by His Royal Highness the Prince, and this afternoon, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the Moon Concubine Niangniang had taken His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance, and spent a period of time alone with His Royal Highness the Prince, I do not rule out the possibility that the Moon Concubine Niangniang will do something to His Royal Highness the Prince, and then frame me."

She said to the Queen Mother in a clear order, and the Queen Mother frowned, as if analyzing the credibility of her words. Night Night Chinese

Wen Xiuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the embroidered handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, this Lan Ke was quite bold, as if he was not afraid of offending her at all, he actually said everything she thought in her heart!

It's okay, just let her be cocooned and self-bound, anyway, she can't find evidence to clear her suspicions, she has a trick waiting for this Lan Ke.

So, Wen Xiuyan pretended to be annoyed, bit her lip aggrievedly and looked at Shang Kelan and said, "Miss Lan, you yourself plotted to kill His Royal Highness the Prince, why did you pour dirty water on the palace?" Since you said that this palace is planting you, what evidence do you have? ”

The two seemed to have a point, and the Queen Mother simply let go of her hand and didn't interject again, sitting calmly on the chair, waiting for the two to compete for each other.

A dark glint flashed in Shang Kelan's eyes, and then she lowered her head and said: "The folk girl naturally has evidence, Concubine Yue Niangniang bought the palace maid Gardenia next to me, gave her a pack of medicinal powder that can make people lose their minds, and tried to let Gardenia give me to take it, but fortunately, Gardenia woke up in time and didn't do anything to me." ”

"The bag of medicinal powder was specially kept by the female concubine and asked Imperial Physician Li to see it, the female wanted to make this matter small, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yue Niangniang still refused to let go of the female daughter, then I have nothing to cover up for Concubine Yue, if the Queen Mother didn't believe it, the folk girl would present the medicinal powder."

Wen Xiuyan sneered and said disdainfully: "I have seen Miss Lan's sinister heart, you actually want to use the evidence of the murder of the prince as the physical evidence of my slander against you, who doesn't know that Gardenia is a person from the Heart Cultivation Palace, she will naturally help you speak, why do you bother to say that I bought her?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shang Kelan's voice stopped, and she slowly raised her eyes to glance at Wen Xiuyan, and a touch of coldness unconsciously crossed her eyes.

No wonder this Wen Xiuyan was so calm from beginning to end, it turned out that she was waiting for her here, Wen Xiuyan just transferred the incriminating evidence to her hand without a trace through Gardenia's hand, if she took out the packet of medicinal powder, she would put herself in an embarrassing situation that could not be explained.

Seeing that Shang Kelan was silent, the Queen Mother glanced at her, looked at her majestically and said, "Miss Lan has nothing to say?" In that case, then ......"

"Wait!"

But at this moment, a childish voice came from behind.

For a while, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but get up and look in the direction of the entrance of the dormitory, only to see Jin Qilan slowly walking towards everyone under the leadership of Jin Yantang.

Suddenly, the palace maids hurriedly saluted the two, as did Wen Xiuyan and Shang Kelan.

Seeing Jin Qilan saluting, the Queen Mother was a little pleased, hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down and hugged Jin Qilan and said, "The little good grandson of the mourning family, why don't you rest well, what are you running out for?" ”

Jin Qilan glanced at Wen Xiuyan deeply, and there was no emotion in her dark eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person.

Subconsciously, Wen Xiuyan quietly avoided his gaze and pretended to be calm.

As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, Jin Qilan explained to the Queen Mother obediently: "Imperial Grandmother, I'm fine, since I ate the sugar given to me by Concubine Yue Niangniang in the afternoon, I don't feel hungry at all." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xiuyan's smile froze for a moment, when did she give the prince white sugar?

The Queen Mother was a little puzzled, then looked at Wen Xiuyan and said to her, "What does the white sugar you give the prince look like?" Show it to the mourners! ”
