The carriage had arrived in front of the palace, and the two of them entered the cliff platform all the way, making tea and sitting down. Lei Ze said: "Lord Wang, Yuexi has already driven back to the Ji Mansion to cover people's eyes." Later, his subordinates sent someone to secretly protect Miss Ji and go back. ”

Although many people know that Ji Erlan has a relationship with King Du, he can't be careless and provoke people's talk. Ji Erlan nodded in thanks, "Thank you for bothering." ”

Lei Ze was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Wherever Miss Ji says, it's all her own person." ”

Yang Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, savoring his sentence 'his own person', and there seemed to be nothing wrong, so he looked away, and slowly tasted the autumn mountain rain dream in the tea cup.

Just now in the carriage, Ji Erlan said one after another, and he was indeed thirsty, and the two tea buffaloes drank their stomachs before they said comfortably: "It's really good tea." ”

Yang Xiao smiled and said: "You can also taste good or bad with this way of drinking?" ”

"The things here are naturally not bad." Ji Erlan gossiped a few words, and then remembered what Yang Zhen had said before that he wanted to assume Song Yuheng as the mastermind behind the scenes. She bled her cheeks and looked at the plum vase standing in the corner, her thoughts wandering. Yang Zhen glanced at her and didn't make a sound.

Ji Erlan pondered for a moment and said, "Since we want to assume Song Yuheng, then we will put all the possibilities on her and see if it is reasonable." Then we will guess from the perspective that Song Yuheng is the mastermind behind the scenes. It's better for the prince to ask, and I will answer. ”

Yang Zhen nodded, thought about it, and first asked, "Why did Song Yuheng involve you?" ”

Ji Erlan was stunned, but he didn't expect that the first question that came to his mind was this. She thought for a moment and said, "Song Yuheng is calm, it doesn't seem like a temporary idea, she deliberately involved me, maybe she wanted me to get into trouble." ”

Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, and then understood what she meant, and said: "This time, you participated in the case, although you broke the cause of death of Lan Guiren and Xu Zhi, but because of this, you brought out the scandal of Song Yaoxian. The Song family and even the Queen Mother will inevitably have prejudices against you. It is true that the trouble is much greater than the credit. Is this the purpose of Song Yuheng to let you be involved in the case? He was surprised, "You have not had a holiday, why should she target you?" ”

Ji Erlan tried her best to treat Song Yuheng as the main thing behind the scenes, thought of a reasonable explanation, and said: "Because she is wary of me, and even wants to find an opportunity to get rid of me." And there was only one reason why she was so wary of me. As all the nobles in the capital think, I have a deep friendship with the prince, and it is very likely that I will become an obstacle to the princess in the future. So, Song Yuheng's real purpose is to become the princess? ”

Yang Xiao was slightly startled, he shook his head and said, "This is impossible." Song Yuheng has been cultivated as a queen since he was a child, and his every move is the posture of a queen. ”

Ji Erlan raised her eyebrows and thought about it again, and said: "The Song Yuheng sisters have been around the Empress Dowager Song since they were children, and they often meet with the emperor and the prince. If it is said that they are close to the emperor, but the age difference is ten years. Or is the prince closer to their age? She squinted and laughed: "Who can guarantee that the love of these two sisters in their hearts is the emperor, not the prince?" ”

Yang Wei saw that she looked like she was not afraid of big things, snorted coldly, and said: "If this is the case, can she hide her mind so deeply that even the Queen Mother can't see it?" ”

Ji Erlan restrained his smile, his expression was a little complicated, and said, "What is impossible in this world? "It's the least likely thing for her to be reborn, unless all she's going through now is a big dream." If Song Yuheng's favorite person is the prince, everything makes sense, and things can be smoothed out according to this point in the future. ”

Yang Xiao was silent, his eyes looked beyond the lamps and candles, and cast them into the night outside, but he only saw nothingness.

Ji Erlan saw that he didn't say anything, so he guessed from Song Yuheng's point of view: "Song Yuheng is the eldest daughter, and she has been cultivated according to the future queen since she was a child. And Song Yaoxian is the candidate used by the Song family to bind the prince. However, will the Song family ask the hearts of these two girls? Definitely not. The orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, they can only obey. Even if you don't want to, there's no way around it. ”

In such a situation, Song Yaoxian is lucky, because the person she loves is the prince, she can obey the Song family's arrangement with peace of mind, and all she worries about is where the prince's mind is. But Song Yuheng is unlucky, she also cares about the prince, but she has to marry in the cold palace, and she is deeply involved in endless battles all her life, competing with countless women for the favor of her husband. ”

"Xing Song Yaoxian has complained bitterly to her sister many times, afraid that she will not be able to please the prince. Song Yuheng listened to these words in his ears, as if he were pierced in his heart...... She has asked herself countless times, and she also wants to ask others, why can't the person who marry the prince be her? Why did she watch her sister marry the person she loved? ”

Ji Erlan immersed herself in Song Yuheng's grief and indignation, looking for a breakthrough: "Recently, the prince's family affairs have been frequently mentioned, and Song Yuheng watched Song Yaoxian's more and more uncontrollable excitement, jealousy, anger, and unwillingness to come to her heart, so she wanted to gamble before the family affairs were settled." ”

When Ji Erlan said this, he turned his head to look at Yang Zheng. And the other party was also looking at her, both of them were a little surprised by this speculation, they were silent for a long time, they were looking for the flaws in this speculation, and after a while, Ji Erlan said: "Song Yuheng did not hesitate to kill Lan Guiren in order to destroy the relationship between the prince and Song Yaoxian, is it a bit of a fuss?" ”

"It's not a big fuss, if she just asked Song Yaoxian to drop an old thing given by the emperor in front of people, how many people would believe that she loved the emperor? It's just a coincidence. Yang Zhen's expression was still like calm water, without half a wave, but his tone inevitably revealed a bit of incredibleness. Or maybe she wanted to do both. ”

"Ready?" Ji Erlan showed a strange look on her face and asked: "What does the prince mean is that if he can't become the princess of Du, Song Yuheng, as the queen, can't allow Lan Guiren to accompany the emperor, and sooner or later he will also get rid of her and the child in his womb, so he simply uses her death to cut off the possibility of Song Yaoxian marrying the prince?" ”

"Yes, kill two birds with one stone. No matter which path she ends up taking, this conspiracy will not be a loss. ”

The green tendons on Ji Erlan's forehead jumped, although she never thought that Song Yuheng was a simple person, she didn't expect the other party's city to be so deep. "If Song Yaoxian doesn't come to Dali Temple today to join in the fun, maybe this matter won't be successful."

"With Song Yaoxian's temperament, she shouldn't have appeared in Dali Temple today, but she came. I think it's just a word from someone close to you, intentionally or unintentionally. When the two of them said this, they could hardly find any reason to deny that Song Yuheng was the person behind the scenes, and Yang Zheng's tone towards Song Yuheng became more and more unkind.

Ji Erlan smiled: "Yes, being able to meet the prince is already a good reason in itself." Only if someone mentions it slightly, Song Yaoxian will naturally come. ”

Yang Zhen glanced at her and said, "And that Lianxin's sister-in-law is also a suspicious point. ”

When Ji Erlan heard him mention this, he immediately said: "Well, at that time, I was very strange, Lianxin's sister-in-law knew so many things, but she didn't stop talking. Now it seems that Song Yuheng deliberately asked us to follow her to find Wu Li. ”

Yang Zhen couldn't help frowning deeply, this conjecture that was getting closer and closer made him a little more disgusted and repulsed by the women of the Song family. Can'er helped Han Jiang and Wu Li recognize each other, and promised gold and silver, as long as she could find a way to get rid of Lan Guiren, she would ensure the glory and wealth of their brothers and sisters for the rest of their lives. And is Hanjiang really so smart that he knows how to use the relationship between Xu Gongzi and Xiaoshuang to set up a series of schemes? Perhaps, this is also planned by Song Yuheng in secret. ”

Ji Erlan almost applauded Song Yuheng's cleverness. She took a sip of tea, suppressed the horror in her heart, and said, "Wu Li has confessed that it has always been Can'er who has been in contact with him. When we find Can'er, we will find out. This Can'er must have been an outcast from the beginning. She insisted that Song Yaoxian killed Lan Guiren for the emperor, which shows her loyalty to her master......"

"Song Yuheng wants to buy Can'er, it is indeed much easier than others. She has always been good at winning people's hearts, and she is a person who gets along day and night. If she has a heart, a little maidservant girl will naturally be fine. ”

Maybe it's a word of care when Can'er is sick, or maybe it's a helping hand when Can'er's family is in trouble, regardless of whether they want to reciprocate. In the long run, even the hard-hearted heart will become dead.

Ji Erlan nodded and said, "The prince once said that when the Empress Dowager Song was a girl, she was a person who was thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day. Whether it is her parents or relatives, or her siblings, almost all have her eyeliner. The reason why she can have an irreplaceable position in the Song family is not only because she is the daughter of the Song family, but also because of her personal ability. Perhaps, Song Yuheng is the second Empress Dowager of Song. ”

Yang Zheng frowned deeply: "So our guess is right, Song Yuheng is really better than the Empress Dowager Song back then." Such a woman, if she enters the palace, I am afraid it will become a very terrible obstacle. ”

"It's better for the prince to fulfill her and make her his own." Ji Erlan stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "With the prince's ability, he will definitely be able to make Song Yuheng willingly turn his elbow to the prince." When the time comes, with Song Yuheng doing the internal response, what the prince wants to do, maybe it will be better to do it? ”

Yang Zhen's face instantly fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, this king is not interested in such a woman. ”

"That's what I'm saying, haha...... As soon as he said it, the prince listened to it as a joke. Ji Erlan snorted and said to himself in his heart: Actually, this is really a good way......

Yang Zhen seemed to be a little concerned about her proposal, and turned sideways to ignore what she said. Ji Erlan had no choice but to find something to say, and said, "What does the prince think the Song family will do with Song Yaoxian?" ”
