Chapter 192: Harem Scandal

The fire at the Dingyuan Wang's birthday banquet caused serious damage to the Qinglian Palace, and despite the dedication of the skilled craftsmen sent by the Junzi Building, and the fact that Jun Wunian, an invisible giant who was rich and rivaled, spent a lot of money to fund it, the reconstruction progress of the Qinglian Palace was still very slow.

It stands to reason that if the damage is to this extent, no one should want to live in it to enjoy any scenery and art, and besides, Qinglian Palace, which is already Jun Wunian's industry, should not be casually occupied by people, but because it was Helian Ming who asked for temporary residence, this matter became delicate.

Helian Mingyan's excuse is that he likes gardening and architecture, and this reason is that Wen Jingyuan believes it, and the Manchu Dynasty believes it, but Jun Wunian and Lian Song and others don't believe it. First, they all knew the complicated relationship between Helian Mingyan and Wen Moqing and Qinglian King back then, and secondly, anyone with a smarter mind than Wen Jingyuan would think of one thing, that is, Helian Mingyan wanted to live alone and refused to bring half of his entourage, which was very problematic in itself.

On the night that Concubine Ping invited the prince and his wife to Nanqingguo, Helian Ming was still wandering around in the Qinglian Palace, and only after hiding from the eyes and ears sent by Jun Wunian did he gently knock on the wall, and the secret door opened silently in a few moments.

"It's damp and stuffy, it's really life-threatening." As the deputy envoy of the mission, Helian Mingyan's cousin Mugta Salang complained again and again that he came out of the secret door, and he was still carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and casually threw it to Helian Mingyan, "Was this underground palace very chaotic before?" If not, someone must have cleaned it up recently. ”

Helian Mingyan didn't seem surprised, opened the bag and flipped through it, his eyebrows were still as calm as clouds: "This is already the place of the Gentleman's Building, and the ink is so meticulous, I must have guessed that there will be a secret passage in the underground palace, and it is natural to conduct a thorough investigation." I just don't know if he got what he wanted, where he hid what we wanted. ”

"Then if we come here, will he be suspicious?"

Looking around at the empty and rather lonely palace, Helian Ming sighed silently: "Why doubt it? I just want to come here to worship and leave my sorrows. He knows that I have always felt guilty about leaving my worries, and I have never slept a good night's sleep for this all these years, and I have never been able to feel at ease if I don't come here to see. ”

Salang was stunned, smiled bitterly, and his eyes softened a lot: "You can feel at ease when you come?" You girl, I watched you grow up, don't I know you? As long as you think you owe someone something, you have to blame yourself for a long time, even if there are things that have nothing to do with you. ”

"After all, I concealed the purpose of coming to Fengluo City, and she trusted me very much until the assassination of Emperor Yuan, and that time really disappointed her and made her sad." The deep sighs seemed endless, and Helian Ming's beautiful face, which was like moonlight, was dyed with a little sadness. Probably because it was too sad to recall the past, Helian Ming smiled far-fetched, and took out a picture album from his bag: "This is what I painted when I taught Li Wei to dance the flower whirlwind dance, she learned very hard, but unfortunately she hasn't had the opportunity to dance for Emperor Yuan, and some things that shouldn't have happened happened." Now that I think about it, what is the point of those rights and wrongs, grievances and grievances? I'd rather see her happy expression when she was learning to dance, and I'd rather I hadn't been to the abyss and didn't make anyone sad. ”

"They are not the only ones who are sad." Salang pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and muttered in a low voice, "How do they know about your troubles?" That warm and affectionate, making a look of how deeply injured you are, didn't you still leave you and run away with other women in the end? Tsk, it's really eye-catching. ”

The three words of Wen Moqing are like spells, which will always make Helian Ming lose his mind for a moment, and the sadness revealed in his eyes has nowhere to hide.

"I liked him but had to leave. Cousin Salang, you know what? The thing I regret the most is not that I didn't say goodbye in the first place, but that I didn't tell him in person before all the tragedies happened that I loved him. ”

And when fate pushed them to the same cusp again, she didn't have a chance to say it again.

The overly sad atmosphere made Desalang uncomfortable, shrugged his shoulders and shook his arms, and the naturally optimistic Huo Sidu Deputy Envoy waved away his gloomy breath, blinked his eyes and mysteriously approached Helian Mingyan's side: "Qiluo, why did you say that Ping Guifei invited Prince Nanqing and the crown princess to a banquet?" Could it be that Emperor Yuan wanted to win them over and it was inconvenient for him to come forward in person? That crown princess Su Yu is not an easy woman to deal with, even I don't dare to contact her! ”

"I haven't explored the inside story of the Yuan Kingdom too clearly, I only know that there have been some turmoil in the harem, the imperial concubine was beaten into the cold palace with Liujia, and Concubine Yun from Qingyue Country has the momentum to replace her, as for Concubine Ping, I haven't paid special attention to it before." Helian Ming's picturesque eyebrows frowned slightly, and his stunning face was faintly worried, "Emperor Yuan has always been cautious in dealing with the envoys of several countries, and he has been as fair as possible on the surface, and it should not destroy the balance of relations; But if this banquet really started with Concubine Ping...... There is no reason or basis, I just have a hunch that something bad will happen to Prince Nanqing. ”

Salang advocates force rather than strange power, and naturally disdains the so-called premonitions, purses his lips to express his disapproval, and then burrows into the underground palace, as before, unknowingly shuttling between Qinglian Palace and a hidden exit at the foot of Qinglian Mountain.

However, this time, Helian Mingyan's premonition was surprisingly accurate, and the only flaw was that it was not Prince Nanqing who suffered the disaster, but the highly respected legendary princess, Su Yu.

When the shocking news reached Anzhou, Yan Liwu and Wen Moqing were also shocked, but Zhong Yue couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows when he talked about hearsay, and he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, slow and anxious, as vivid as reading a story, so that Yan Liwu and Wen Moqing gritted their teeth and couldn't wait to know the result, but they couldn't bear to miss the detailed plot that shocked them.

"Concubine Ping sent a banquet invitation letter to the prince and princess of Nanqing, saying that it was a private banquet, and in addition to calling several princes and some concubines with higher status. After everyone was seated, Concubine Ping first toasted a cup, saying that she had heard for a long time that the princess of Nanqing was virtuous and virtuous, and that the banquet was to give the harem concubines the opportunity to learn and learn, so as to share the emperor's worries and solve problems; flattered the stupid prince, loyal and filial, and was a model for all the princes, and asked several princes to take turns to toast a cup. After going back and forth like this, Prince Nanqing was carried back to his residence with wine spitting out wine less than an hour after entering the table, leaving the crown princess to deal with it alone. ”

Taking advantage of Zhong Yue's efforts to drink water to moisten his throat, Yan Li's brows furrowed: "Then Prince Nanqing is really not good, but he is also a messenger of the visit, is it not a shame to drink so much that he doesn't know what to do?" Even if the prince toasts, he should try his best to refuse, he doesn't want to think about it, if he is drunk, how embarrassing it will be to leave his daughter-in-law there? ”

"Who knows, anyway, inside and outside the court sneered at this prince, and some people even called him the straw bale prince directly, which shows that it is not something worthy of sympathy." Zhong Yue disagreed, put down the teacup and continued, "After Prince Nanqing was carried away, Concubine Ping asked the concubines to toast to the princess - the princess was really a character, her face was not red after a dozen cups, but she drank down two concubines and a prince, and it is said that Concubine Ping's face turned pale at that time. ”

Zhong Yue said like a joke, but he didn't feel the slightest smile, and even felt a little chill, and looked at Wen Moqing with his head sideways, as if he thought of the same point again.

"Concubine Ping, this is trying to get the princess Nanqing drunk." gasped, and his back was faintly cold, "I'll just say, Concubine Ping has no reason to invite Prince Nanqing and his wife for no reason." Although I don't know what Concubine Ping is planning, but listening to what you say, it is certain that there is a conspiracy behind it, and the object of the conspiracy is undoubtedly the Prince Nanqing, otherwise he would not have drunk the Prince of Nanqing first. It's just that I don't know if the crown princess will fall for the scheme, such a smart person......"

"Zhong Yue will come here from Anzhou to report the news, naturally something big happened, probably the crown princess still hasn't escaped the calculation." Warm ink is not salty or light.

Zhong Yue nodded vigorously, his eyebrows from a moment ago danced, and he sighed a few times: "The young master guessed correctly, although the princess of Nanqing had extraordinary wine, in the end, she still couldn't bear to fall asleep, and that's why what happened next." ”

Su Yu, the legendary princess of the Nanqing Dynasty who supported her as a woman, only heard her name and did not see her person, but Wen Moqing had seen her elegance with her own eyes, and the brilliance reflected on Su Yu's body was not weakened by half a point because of her low-key stability, which often overlapped with Yan Liwu in Wen Moqing's mind, so when he mentioned the Nanqing Princess, he would always subconsciously pay more attention. When Zhong Yue's expression turned gloomy and regretful, Wen Moqing had already guessed that Su Yu might have suffered misfortune, but the moment the truth came out of Zhong Yue's mouth in a low voice, he was still so shocked that he almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

"The princess of Nanqing was drunk and unconscious, and Concubine Ping broke up the banquet and said that she would send someone to send her back to her residence, but ...... But the next day, the crown princess appeared on the emperor's bed. ”

Boom, the teacup was tipped over, and the large water stains on the wooden table slowly leaked open, leaving a dark trace.

Yan Li's hand trembled slightly, and he couldn't tell whether it was because he was too shocked or too angry, and Wen Moqing, who quickly regained his composure after being surprised, frowned slightly, and wrapped Yan Li's hand silently with his warm palm.

"No matter how confused the emperor is, he will not attack the envoys of other countries, there must be hidden secrets." Out of his understanding of Wen Jingyuan, Wen Moqing made a fair judgment, and noticed that the cold hand in his palm was trying to break free, and he grabbed it hard, but it was still tightly bound in his palm.

Zhong Yue saw that Yan Li's face was not good, and he hesitated to continue, and only swallowed his saliva when he saw Wen Moqing's eyes, and said in a low voice: "The princess of Nanqing broke out of the emperor's bedroom in disheveled clothes and was found by the guards, at that time the emperor was still asleep and did not wake up, and the guards did not recognize who the princess was, so she scolded loudly as a palace maid who did not know the etiquette. Later, Concubine Yun and Concubine Yan, who arrived after hearing the news, drove everyone away and temporarily placed the depressed princess in the palace of Concubine Yan...... I don't know how to make the crown princess lightly, and I only said that I made a big mistake by drinking with Concubine Ping the night before. ”

Hearing Concubine Ping appear again, Yan Li was worried about it, and his fists clenched even tighter.

No matter how smart Concubine Ping is, it is impossible for her to kill herself, and it is even more impossible for Wen Jingyuan, who is the king of a country. Drunken Nanqing's envoy to Wen Jingyuan's pillow This kind of thing will not only ruin the reputation of the Yuan country, but also bury hidden dangers in the relations between the two countries, and even provoke a war, what reason is there to make such a ridiculous and hateful act?

In addition, Zhong Yue said that the person who actively dealt with the aftermath was Lan Zhirong, and he became more and more suspicious that this series of incidents came from Lan Zhirong and Lian Song.

But what is their purpose?

Is it simply the result of an omission in the conspiracy? Or do they have a deep hatred with the Crown Princess of Nanqing? Or do you want to trap Wen Jingyuan in the unkindness and injustice?

Several possibilities were denied one by one, so there was only one terrible guess left to teach her to tremble.

Since Lan Zhirong doesn't love Wen Jingyuan, she may want to destroy the country.
