Empress Dowager Song's tone was casual and slow, but Ji Erlan felt a knife-like chill from inside. She didn't know what the Queen Mother meant by leaving her to speak alone, which was both a warning and an admonition. Therefore, she is very aware of the current affairs and follows the thoughts of the Queen Mother and expresses her attitude.

"Naturally, Second Miss Song is gentle and kind by nature, and she is simply ignorant of the world, how could she do such a thing? It's just being dragged down by villains. ”

When Empress Dowager Song heard her answer, her demeanor was graceful, and her eyes paused for a moment.

Ji Erlan's meaning couldn't be clearer, she showed that she didn't believe that it was Song Yaoxian who wanted to kill Lan Guiren, but she didn't mention that Song Yaoxian missed the emperor.

Empress Dowager Song frowned and thought for a moment, but she was helpless. After all, even she wasn't sure about it. How to force Ji Erlan to affirm the answer. Even if Ji Erlan said it against his will, it would be useless.

She watched the two sisters of the Song family grow up, if Song Yaoxian had such a scheming and went around in such a big circle to harm the Lan nobles, she really didn't believe it. But how can Song Yaoxian's mind be fully affirmed?

The two sisters are childhood sweethearts with the emperor, and the arrangement of family affairs is also with the meaning of the Song family, no one has asked them if they are willing, so who can tell the girl's mind clearly? In this world, what woman doesn't want to ascend to that supreme position? If Song Yaoxian really loves the emperor and wants to replace Song Yuheng on the throne of the queen, it is understandable.

Empress Dowager Song couldn't help but have a headache, it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so she could only guess. There is a rumor that Song Yaoxian's family affairs are almost ruined, who dares to ask for a woman whose heart belongs to the emperor? Do you put it at home as the emperor's eyeliner?

Ji Erlan was a little stunned when she saw the Empress Dowager Song, and couldn't help but think of the Empress Dowager Song and Su Ran, the mother of the King of Du, maybe this is also the case? The two sisters parted ways because of a man and disliked each other.

She was only distracted for a moment, and the Empress Dowager Song spoke indifferently again: "Is your delicate heart and liver like your father?" ”

Ji Erlan lowered her body and became more respectful: "The queen mother raised the courtiers, but the courtiers knew that she was just a little smart. ”

"It's not a bad thing to be smart, but you have to use it in the right place and in the right person."

"Yes, the courtiers follow the teachings of the Queen Mother."

Coming out of Shoukun Palace, Jin Wu had fallen to the end of the sky, and a little chamberlain led her to the outside of the palace.

After staying in Dali Temple for most of the day, and kneeling in the Empress Dowager's palace for half a day, she really wasted a lot of spirit, and her body and mind were inevitably a little tired. So the moment she walked out of the palace gate and saw the carriage of the king of the cross, she did not hesitate to climb up, at least it was easy to talk to the king of the cross, and it didn't take much effort.

Yang Zheng's deep eyebrows moved slightly, and he was slightly surprised: "You are obedient, you know that this king has something to say to you." ”

Ji Erlan sighed: "The thought of going back home and having to explain to my father makes me feel troublesome. It's better to go back later and spend less time talking. ”

Yang Zhen looked at Ji Erlan, who was lazy and tired with his eyes squinted slightly, and put his hand on his cheeks, showing a somewhat funny look, and said, "You have always been full of energy, but I didn't expect to have such a tired time." ”

"Dealing with people is the most tiring, especially when the other party is a human spirit. How dare you not always keep your heart up and hang your spirit? ”

Yang Zhen heard her say this, and saw her extremely relaxed appearance towards herself at the moment, and her heart rose a little strangely. He was slightly stunned, then changed the topic and said: "Hanjiang and the others have been disposed of, and the people of Dali Temple have also announced the results according to the queen mother's intentions. ”

"At this moment, their movements are very fast." Ji Erlan remembered that when the accident happened, Xie Tangqian and the others passed the buck to each other, and couldn't help but joke.

Yang Rongrong was silent for a while, and then said: "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Yaoxian had a chance encounter with this king. ”

Ji Erlan smiled and said, "It seems that the prince's intentions for Song Yaoxian are actually clear. ”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the wind, and a ray of golden light of the slanting sun was thrown into the carriage, reflecting in Yang Zheng's eyes, swaying slightly: "You also know? ”

"That day, I was not far away, and I saw Song Yaoxian sitting in the carriage, with an eager, nervous and expectant look, it turned out that she was going to 'meet' the prince. Also, today in Dali Temple, when she looks at you intentionally or unintentionally, she is still like that. What can that kind of state of affairs be for? It's just because he misses the prince and reveals his true feelings. ”

Yang Zhen didn't expect that Ji Erlan was only a cardamom year, and he could talk to him calmly, although he was talking about someone else's love, but there was always some disobedience. "So, you also think that someone deliberately arranged this play."

"Well, almost certainly. The other party seems to be trying to make others feel that Song Yaoxian is actually resistant to becoming the princess. What I really care about is the queen's position. Therefore, the other party's purpose is to cut off the possibility of Song Yaoxian becoming the princess. ”

After all, even if she is the queen mother, she can't force a woman who thinks of the emperor to the king.

"Indeed, this king naturally does not want a woman to whom he belongs. In the future, Song Yaoxian did not have a chance with the title of Princess Du. Although both Ji Erlan and Yang knew that this was not true, it was exactly what they wanted. Yang Wei was satisfied with this result, but his back was chilled by the calculation, and he sneered: "This person has gone around in such a big circle, leading to the fact that Song Yaoxian loves the emperor, so that people like the Empress Dowager Song who are thoughtful and have no mistakes or omissions are shaken, and their scheming is really unfathomable." ”

"He did not hesitate to risk the lives of Lan Guiren's mother and son, he is indeed a terrible person." Ji Erlan remembered the thoughtful look of the Queen Mother today, and couldn't help but say: "When I found Wu Li, I realized that behind the whole thing, someone was secretly manipulating. I always feel that killing Lan Guiren doesn't seem to be the other party's goal. So, when I found Can'er's head, I was really shocked. Who is so capable of subduing all the girls around the Song family's daughter-in-law? ”

"The other party wants to hinder the relationship between the king and the Song family, and it couldn't be clearer. and can buy Song Yaoxian's personal maid ......"

Ji Erlan felt something, but he only asked lightly: "The prince suspects the Yan family?" ”

"The Yan family does have this ability, but this king always feels that this is not the Yan family's consistent style of doing things."

Ji Erlan was surprised by Yang Zheng's acuity, the Yan family was indeed ruthless and insidious, but it was by no means such a style. She couldn't really tell, it was just her gut feeling. "This man is thoughtful, twisting and turning, like a finger twisting and turning with poison, so that the prey will die unconsciously. It is very different from the Yan family's extremely angry methods. ”

"So, do you have any doubts in your heart?"

The light fell, and only a golden thread remained in the distance, inlaid under the blue and white of the inky night. Ji Erlan unconsciously rubbed the intricate patterns on the car curtain, and suddenly remembered what Song Yuheng said, couldn't help but stand upright, and asked, "Do you still remember what Song Yuheng said in Dali Temple today?" ”

"Yes. She said, 'Xian'er, is it because you know that Lan Guiren is similar to Tinglan, so you ......'" Yang Wei quietly twisted the golden silk pattern on the teacup and said: "This means that someone told Song Yaoxian about Tinglan, and Song Yuheng was also present, or it was she who said it to Song Yaoxian." ”

"I think so, too." Ji Erlan tried her best to smooth out a few doubts in her heart, and said slowly: "Moreover, although she omitted the second half of the sentence, she penetrated everyone's vague conjecture in one sentence, and almost confirmed that Song Yaoxian secretly longed for the emperor and killed Lan Guiren with jealousy. ”

Yang Zhen nodded: "Song Yuheng has always been empathetic and considerate of others. But today, although she only said a few words, every sentence forced Song Yaoxian to be unable to defend herself, which was really unexpected. ”

Ji Erlan traced Song Yuheng's shocked and sad eyes in her mind, and said: "But it is also possible that she knew that her sister was concerned about her future husband, and she was hit and did not choose to say anything for a while. ”

Both of them were silent for a while.

Ji Erlan's mind flipped and slowly thought about it from the beginning of the whole thing. suddenly thought of his previous suspicion of Song Yuheng's attitude, and said, "There is one more point, the prince doesn't know." On the night of Lan Guiren's accident, I followed the Queen Mother and others to Yunhua Palace, and the moment everyone saw the corpse, Song Yuheng's expression was also a little unusual, and the fear that came from the girl was a little strange. ”

"Oh? Do you suspect that there are dark ghosts? ”

What Yang Zhen meant, Ji Erlan understands, the so-called 'if you lose something, look at everyone like a thief'. But Ji Erlan knew in his heart that he was not suspicious because of this. He said, "No, this feeling is not unique after the case is solved." I still remember that when everyone saw Lan Guiren's body at first glance, the strange look on Song Yuheng's face even made me suspect that Lan Guiren's death was the meaning of the Song family. ”

"Well, then, this is indeed a place worth noting. Tell me about it. ”

Ji Erlan pondered his words and said: "Because Xiaoshuang's hatred for Lan Guiren has reached the point of no return, so Lan Guiren's death is not ordinary miserable. And when Song Yuheng first saw this scene, her expression was like ...... Obviously, she was mentally prepared to know that Lan Guiren must be dead, but that bloody scene still exceeded her expectations. Therefore, at that moment, Song Yuheng's face was unexpectedly frightened, although she quickly covered up the past, but I was absolutely not mistaken. ”

Yang Zhen understood what she meant, and said, "In addition, when the emperor learned that Lan Guiren had an accident, he looked at the queen mother's eyes. makes you suspect that Lan Guiren's death was committed by the Song family. ”

"That's right, but after thinking that it was unlikely that Empress Dowager Song would do this, I guessed that Lan Guiren's death might have something to do with Song Yuheng. Because she will enter the Middle Palace after all, she will guard against the past that Lan Guiren also said. ”

Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Before the case was solved, you had such suspicions, which must prove that you didn't read it. Song Yuheng is indeed problematic. In that case, we might as well assume that she is the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
