"Shhh, this matter must not be spread outside, especially not let Your Majesty know, I don't want Your Majesty to worry, just let Your Majesty think that this is an ordinary accident, after all, he still has to worry about national affairs, he is already very busy, you also help me keep it secret, don't tell this matter, okay?"

After Shang Kelan made a silent gesture to Gardenia, her eyes were fixed on Gardenia and she said truthfully.

Gardenia suddenly realized and understood Shang Kelan's intentions, so she nodded to her and said, "I see, okay Niangniang, I will keep this secret for you, and the slave will secretly investigate the matter of Fu Qingxi and not let His Majesty know." ”

Seeing this, a sweet smile appeared on Shang Kelan's face, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Gardenia's face and said, "Alas, my Gardenia is still as well-behaved as before, Miss Ben really wants to take pity on you." ”

As she spoke, she touched Gardenia's chin in a slippery tone, and Gardenia's face suddenly turned crimson, and she slapped her hand away and said, "Niangniang will make fun of the slave!" ”

"Hahaha...... Ahem! ”

Shang Kelan originally laughed, but as soon as she laughed twice, she coughed uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Gardenia didn't dare to joke with her anymore, so she hurriedly smoothed her back, helped her lie down on the bed, and fed her medicine.

At the same time, outside the dormitory gates.

Jin Yantang did not leave after leaving the dormitory, but just closed the door to create an illusion of leaving.

How could the good Shang Kelan want to eat peach blossom crisp? Besides, she doesn't like to eat this thing, when she was in Shuzhou before, she made this thing for Lu Zirui and Wei Chi to eat.

Jin Yantang sensed that Shang Kelan wanted to break away from him, so he came to the door of the dormitory as if he was leaving, and listened attentively to what Shang Kelan and the others had just said.

It wasn't until the words of the two of them were all taken into Jin Yantang's ears that the coldness in his eyes gradually condensed, as if there was a corpse, making people feel as if they were frozen at a glance.

I saw Jin Yantang slowly turn around, and after coming to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he casually summoned an inner attendant, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and find out who has passed by that lake this morning, and also, go and tell the people of the Internal Affairs Office, let them find out Fu Qingxi, and kill them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The waiter got Jin Yantang's orders, and after respectfully responding, he excitedly went on an errand for Jin Yantang.

And Jin Yantang also walked to the imperial dining room and brought some medicinal porridge back to Shang Kelan.

In the evening, the Sioux University Scholar's Mansion was up.

In the backyard, a woman in white sits on a swing, holding a black cat in her arms, her long supple hair is draped behind her, and she wears an inconspicuous white jade carved hairpin on her head.

Suddenly, a white dove flew towards her from the direction of the palace and landed on her outstretched hand.

Wen Xiuyan took out the letter brought by the white pigeon, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the note read: I have done something to Lan Ke, and I hope that Niangniang will enter the palace as soon as possible.

There was no signature on the back, but Wen Xiuyan recognized that it was Fu Qingxi's handwriting, and after quickly browsing the handwriting on the note, Wen Xiuyan showed a satisfied look on her face, threw the note into the flowers on the side, and then let go of the black cat in her arms and walked towards the study.

At this time, Scholar Su was writing a letter in the study, and when he saw Wen Xiuyan coming in, he stepped forward and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Yeon'a?" Search

"Yan'er has seen her uncle, and I just came here to ask my uncle, how did you arrange for Yan'er to enter the palace?"

Wen Xiuyan said meekly to the scholar of Su University, her voice was soft, and it was easy to make people feel good.

Her smile, her demeanor and movements are all copies of the deceased Concubine Chen, since His Majesty likes a woman like Concubine Chen, then she doesn't mind imitating it.

Hearing this, Scholar Su smiled at Wen Xiuyan, and then said: "Don't worry, I have already done this thing, today I have discussed with those ministers, and everyone unanimously supports you to enter the palace, we have jointly written a letter to present to Your Majesty, I believe that it will not be a problem for you to be selected for the position of the four concubines." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xiuyan's eyes widened slightly, and she was slightly stunned in place, and soon, she came back to her senses, frowned slightly, and showed an impatient look in her eyes: "Why is it the fourth concubine again?" That's how Uncle does things for Yan'er? You must know that with Yan'er's qualifications and uncle's status, Yan'er is definitely the best candidate to ascend to the queen's throne! ”

It seemed that Wen Xiuyan would ask such a question, so Scholar Su had no choice but to tell her what happened this morning, even though Wen Xiuyan still had an unwilling look in her eyes, she didn't continue to say more, but after thanking Scholar Su, she turned around and left the study.

Before leaving, Scholar Su also comforted her: "Yan'er, don't worry, when you ascend to the position of one of the four concubines, as long as the woman Bilanke is favored, she will naturally not be able to make any waves under you." ”

Can't make any waves? You must know that His Majesty's favor is in the palace, but it is the most powerful weapon! The concubines in the harem have always been fought for to the death, and Wen Xiuyan has long understood this.

When she left the study, her hands clenched, and her eyes flashed with resentment.

I only heard her mutter: "Okay, you Lan Ke, you were favored in this palace before, and it is okay to kill a concubine halfway, and you want to climb on my head with this little girl of unknown origin?" It's just wishful thinking......"

It seems that Scholar Su has indeed tried his best, otherwise he would not just win her the position of the fourth concubine, so happy.

But Concubine Ning, who was already one of the four concubines before Wen Xiuyan left the palace, will now be named the fourth concubine, how can she be happy?

Even though she had all kinds of ideas in her heart, she had to put them aside for the time being.

……

The day after Shang Kelan fell into the water, early in the morning, when she first arrived, the Queen Mother brought gifts to see her, but at this time, Kelan was still resting in bed, and she didn't even have time to put on her clothes, so she saw the Queen Mother walk into the palace of the Palace of Nourishing Heart.

This made Shang Kelan a little embarrassed, so she had to nod to the Queen Mother through the veil on the bed: "The people's daughter sees the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the people's daughter is inconvenient, please forgive the concubine for not being able to get out of bed to salute you for the time being." ”

Seeing that her face was crimson, and her eyebrows were shy and timid, the Queen Mother didn't care about the etiquette, but comforted: "If you can't get up, don't get up, I heard that you fell into the water yesterday, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here with the mourning family early this morning." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too?"

Shang Kelan looked at the Queen Mother with some surprise, the Queen Mother nodded to her with a smile, and a small figure stood up from behind the Queen Mother.

Jin Qilan looked at Shang Kelan cautiously and asked with concern, "Sister Lan, are you feeling better?" ”

Seeing this, Gardenia on the side couldn't help but feel a little strange: When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not target and satirize Niangniang? What is going on here?

According to Gardenia's understanding of Jin Qilan, he is not a person who gives up one thing so easily!
