005. The Queen Mother
Ling Ran smiled slightly, "Sister Yu, isn't there still some love roots planted by King Xuan in this Xuan Palace?" Sister, I can help my sister with advice and get rid of them for my sister. ”
"Yo! Yes. I'm looking forward to that. You," Ling Yu couldn't help but smile even more happily when he heard this, and pointed to a maid beside him, "Go and loosen her bonds!" Let's help her wash her face again, and let the prince know that I, Ling Yu, am also a kind person. ”
"Yes."

Kunning Palace.
Empress Ann is concentrating on an embroidery. After a while, it will be the emperor's birthday, and the emperor's physical condition has not been good in recent years. She thought about it, it was better to embroider a big "longevity" word and give it to him.
What she made by herself, the emperor will definitely appreciate her ingenuity.
Suddenly, her henchman maid Liu Er walked in with a cup of tea and turned to the two guards at the gate of Kunning Palace:
"You guys go down first, I have something important to tell the queen."
The old gate, carved with history, was slammed shut with a creaky sound.
"What's wrong? What happened. Empress An glanced at Liu Er's hurried appearance, and continued to embroider cross-stitch absentmindedly.
Since Concubine Xian left, the harem has been a lot quieter these days. As soon as Concubine Xian left, could the emperor immediately summon a woman who looked similar to Concubine Xian into the palace. When the prince's mother, Concubine Shu, died, Concubine Xian was summoned to the palace with her similar appearance to Concubine Shu, and since then she has won the favor of the Holy Grace and has risen to the top ever since......
"It's a big deal, Queen Mother!" Liu Er anxiously put down the cup of tea.
"Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly." Queen An is still calmly embroidering stitches and threads.
"Ling Ran, she married into the Xuan Wangfu yesterday!"
Empress An's face instantly lost color, her body shook, and the needle in her hand suddenly pierced her index finger, and blood immediately overflowed.
"What do you say? Who married into King Xuan's Mansion? Empress Ann almost didn't want to believe her ears.
At that time, Concubine Xian had such a big thing, all the authentication and physical evidence pointed to this little girl, and King Xuan, the son of Concubine Xian, actually married her? No, this case must not be allowed to be overturned! Looks like I'm going to have to meet her......
"Ling Ran! That's right, it's her, the little daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion who loves to eat mung bean cakes," Liu Er found that the bright red blood on Queen An's fingertips had soaked into the cross-stitch of the word "Shou" on her hand, "Queen Mother, I'll get you some plaster first!" ”
"Wait! - "Liu Er's figure stagnated, and Empress An immediately added, "Send a message to Ling Ran to come over to meet the palace." ”
"Yes, Queen."

Xuan Cao Pavilion.
Chu Yijun, who had just finished retreating from the court, strode into the Xuancao Pavilion with a tired face.
After a long time, I don't know how Concubine Fang punished Ling Ran's woman.
When he came to the small black house, he found that the small black house was empty, only the rope that had once tied Ling Ran was still dotted with blood stains, and the whole black room was filled with a smell of tide and fish, as if to show that the owner here had been tortured inhumanely.
"What about the king's concubine? Where are you locked up by the side concubine now? Chu Yijun looked at the guards at the door of the small black house.
"Back to the prince, she was just untied by the side concubine, and now she is resting in the small building next to the Xuancao Pavilion."
Seeing Chu Yijun's sword eyebrows frowning, the guard hurriedly added, "Since she doesn't have a specific residence yet, the side concubine searched all over the Xuan Palace's mansion to find this empty bed." ”
"Take this king over."
"Yes, Lord Wang, please."

A slightly better room than a small dark room.
On a beautiful back with condensed skin, there are mottled blood stains, which are intertwined horizontally and vertically, which is shocking to see.
Ling Ran lay on the small bed, letting Xian'er apply the plaster to her, her eyebrows tightened, and her face looked like primitive pain.
Hurt! What's more, these injuries are on this delicate and delicate body!
Anyway, there is no need to pretend to be invulnerable in front of Xian'er, dealing with the violent prince a few days ago really made her tired!
"Shhh——! Hiss, hiss......"
"If Miss endures it any longer, she will be able to apply a good plaster immediately." Xian'er looked at the scars on Ling Ran's back distressedly, and every time she looked at it, she seemed to cry.
"Xian'er, do you think I have offended this prince before? Is it related to his mother? Ling Ran sat up, rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the gossip he had heard from a few subordinates a few days ago.
A tall figure outside the door was just about to step in, but at the moment he was stunned, and hurriedly retreated outside the door, listening attentively.
"Uh...... Miss is talking about the virtuous concubine? This lady did die a few days ago, I heard that she died a strange death, and there are rumors in the market that it is ......" Xian'er looked at the edge of the bed in the lower left corner, and recalled vigorously, "She seems to have eaten some small snack and died of poisoning, but what does this have to do with Miss?" ”
"I heard the other day—"
"Report to the ——, Empress Niang summoned Miss Ling Shiran and asked Ling to go to Kunning Palace with me alone." A hurried eunuch suddenly flashed outside the door, interrupting Ling Ran's words.
Ling Ran was stunned, the queen mother? How complicated was the owner of her body before, and she could still involve the lord of the six palaces? Could it be that Prince Xuan's mother was really killed by Ling Ran and the harem woman in the past?
"Yes." Ling Ran suppressed his surprise and followed the eunuch out of the door, leaving Xian'er alone to stand still.
The tall figure outside the door carefully moved his body to a corner, and watched in shock as Ling Ran was taken to see the biological mother of the second prince Chu Zijing, Empress An.
In a pair of bottomless eyes, a fine light flashed away.

Kunning Palace.
Ling Ran knew how deep the water in the harem was, so he followed behind the eunuch with some trepidation.
When I entered the door, I saw a slender back in a lavish lilac robe, sitting on a chair decorated with carved threads.
"Coming?"
Queen An slowly turned the chair, only to see that the heavy makeup on her face lined her facial features slightly flat, although it was not very beautiful, but it had a charm that ordinary women did not have, her expression was elegant and calm, and the queen's aura was fully displayed.
"Ling Ran has seen the queen mother." Ling Ran saluted obediently and acted cautiously, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Haha, long time no see, why are you still rusty," Empress An suddenly smiled kindly and pulled a chair from her side, "Sit down." ”
Ling Ran smiled and thanked Empress An, and sat down in an orderly manner.
There was silence.
Empress An continued to weave the cross-stitch on her hands, which made Ling Ran sit on pins and needles, and she couldn't wait to grow eight feet and quickly slip back to King Xuan's mansion.
