Who knows, before Gongsun Lan could figure out how to speak, Gongsun Mu took the initiative to come to the door.

She sat in the main hall, her white and tender fingers pinching the turquoise porcelain tea cup, which was as fresh and lovely as a hibiscus. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before she spoke: "Fifth sister, I always owe you a word of apology. ”

She was referring to the thing that instigated Gongsun Ying to test her in the first place. In fact, she is not mainly responsible for that incident, it is Gongsun Ying herself who is angry, and she has to have a long time with Gongsun Lan, which is in the hands of Su Xin, in a vain attempt to use her to provoke infighting in the house.

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "This is not my sister's fault, Su Xin's girl was bought by a foreign officer, since she is serving the sixth sister closely, she naturally has long been thinking of using her, you said a few words to her on the front foot, and the back foot was pampered by Frangipani with oil and vinegar, the sixth sister is young, she doesn't understand those twists and turns, and there is no reason to fall into the trap." Sister don't blame herself. ”

And the Lianyue who threw herself into the well, Gongsun Lan is not a saint, and Gongsun Mu does not claim to be a good person, and the two of them tacitly did not mention it.

Gongsun Mu said: "I came today and have something I want to tell you. I'm afraid it's a little abrupt. ”

Gongsun Lan's heart moved, and when she looked at the other party's suspicious face, she asked, "Fourth sister must be talking about the day of the birthday banquet?" ”

"Well......" Gongsun Mu blushed slightly, nodded slightly, and then said: "The matter on the day of the birthday banquet, the fifth sister knew it from beginning to end, but I was too stupid to be calculated from beginning to end." Although the results are good, there are always knots in my heart that are difficult to solve. In addition, I still have some questions about the actions of the third sister. ”

Gongsun Lan looked at her in surprise and wondered, "What questions?" ”

Gongsun Mu calmed down and said, "I guess you don't know why the prince suddenly changed his mind, gave up the third sister, and promised the princess to marry me." ”

Gongsun Lan shook his head and said, "I really don't know. ”

"Actually, I have known Shizi for a long time, but we only exchange letters, and we don't know each other's identities." Gongsun Mu explained the cause and effect in detail, and then said: "Later, this matter was known by the third sister, and she taught me that I should not be like this with rules and etiquette. ”

Gongsun Lan listened carefully, and had already guessed that it was Beishan Heng who recognized the wrong person. But why does he think that Xiangjun is Gongsun Tu?

"In my mind, that's the end of it. This person was just a dream in a hurry when he was young, and he never crossed paths again. Gongsun Mu's face suddenly showed disgust and hatred, and said:

"However, that day grandmother's birthday banquet, I went from Yujiao Pavilion to Jingtai, and bumped into the prince halfway, he saw that the handkerchief I fell on the ground was embroidered with the word 'Xiangjun' for a while, and the girl next to me was clever, and asked a few words, only to know that after the farewell letter, the third sister ordered Huang Teng to embroider the same handkerchief on my hand and deceived the son. Since then, the prince has been bent on marrying his third sister, even if she is sick and weak and wants to die, he will not give up. ”

Obviously, this relationship belongs to her, but because of Gongsun Di, countless years have been delayed. It is impossible for Gongsun Mu not to hate, and it is impossible not to get tired!

She said: "It's just that I haven't been able to understand why the third sister made preparations in advance and lured the prince to take the bait when she had never met?" Could it be that there is anything to do with the family affairs of the Su Wangfu? However, I grew up with her, and I haven't heard anything special about the Suwang Mansion......"

After a series of questions, Gongsun Lan already understood what her question was. Although the other party's story is simple, even if she doesn't tell the twists and turns, she can think of it. "You mean, the third sister has already thought about planning a family affair from the beginning, and this fate between you and the prince of the world just happened to be used by her?"

Gongsun Mu nodded sullenly and said, "I did guess like this, she is thoughtful and deep, I really can't guess her intentions, I can only come to you to ask." ”

After listening to all her words, Gongsun Lan was even more surprised. At the beginning, she and the old lady guessed that the marriage between Su Wangfu and Gongsun had an unknown purpose. Now I found out that Gongsun Di was actually seeking a family affair in Su Wangfu in private, and the reason was not because she loved Beishan Heng......

It's just so weird.

"Does the fourth sister know that our mansion and the Su Wangfu used to have close contacts?"

Gongsun Mu shook his head, nodded again, hesitated a little, hesitated for a moment and said: "If you say close, it's not that we have a close relationship with King Su's Mansion, it's that I accidentally heard my father mention that more than 20 years ago, the relationship between the various clans and the princess's mansion and King Lian was good. At the very least, it should be appreciative. ”

"King Lian?" Prince Lian, who was convicted of rebellion, was the brother of King Su and the king, and Gongsun Lan naturally heard of this major case that shook the entire Yasukuni. "I heard that after King Lian was beheaded by the raiders, the relationship between the previous family and the royal family instantly cooled down, suspicious of each other, each plotting his own thing, and many family members also retreated into the background, in addition to avoiding suspicion, but also because they were disheartened with the imperial power."

"Well, that's what it says. The Queen Mother was also closed at that time. Although King Lian and the current monarch are both from her, and King Su is also her adopted son, her most beloved son is Lord Lian. ”

Gongsun Lan pondered.

Mama Jiang, who was next to the queen mother in the palace, left the palace, and now she was invited by the old lady to come to Gongsun's house, and then the old lady who was in charge of the house also moved.

All of this was after the Gongsun clan made up their minds to unite with Nangong and stand against the royal family.

Perhaps, it was precisely because she saw this that the Queen Mother made a move? So what does the old lady mean, is it for or against?

It shouldn't be against it, she doesn't believe that the old lady Gongsun is really confused! If I was really confused, I wouldn't have come back so coincidentally. Then, he has been silently watching behind his back to bring the Gongsun family to this situation, presumably he had a plan.

There is another question, the Queen Mother has been strong all her life, and her political means are not weaker than the first emperor, she has been closed to the palace for many years and suddenly began to move, did she see the hope of overthrowing Beishan Xiaoze? So who is she going to put on the throne? King Su? Is this the reason for the marriage between King Su and Gongsun?

Is it because Gongsun Tu overheard about this situation, so he sought to do something about the prince's mansion?

Gongsun Lan shook his head secretly in his heart, although this kind of speculation could barely be explained, there was still something wrong.

For example, can a mere marriage really make the entire Gongsun family fight for it?

In Gongsun Lan's opinion, this is absolutely impossible, and if King Su is also labeled as a rebel, Gongsun will immediately give up the married girl for the survival of the entire family. Unless, the Gongsun family is inseparable from the Su Wangfu at all.

What is it that connects King Su's Mansion and Gongsun tightly? Su Wangfu is so sure that the Gongsun clan will rebel with him?

Gongsun Lan's fingers subconsciously tapped on the corner of the table, although he still didn't figure it out, but he finally summed up a crux of the problem, that is, what is the reason for implicating Gongsun and Su Wangfu together.

Gongsun Mu saw that she was stunned for a long time and finally made a move, so he asked, "Fourth sister, what did you think of?" ”

"There is a general conjecture, but there is still the most critical unclear." Gongsun Lan looked at her, remembering that Gongsun Di was going to enter the palace, and said thoughtfully: "Gongsun Tu's entry into the palace this time is very unfavorable to us. ”

The family affairs of the Su Wangfu are hopeless, and Gongsun Di resolutely chose the current king, which is unwilling to live under the people, and the heart is contrary to the choice of the Gongsun family, and he wants to go the other way? Thinking about it this way, Gongsun Tu is really too ruthless.

Gongsun Lan said "we", which is naturally because she and Gongsun Mu are both on Gongsun Tu's list of old enemies. Gongsun Mu was also very aware of this, so he said, "Well, I know. But at present, we can only take one step at a time. If the fifth sister thinks of something one day, she will only say to me. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded cautiously, and the two said goodbye.

On this day, Gongsun Lan went out for a whole day, and when the sun set in the evening, he returned to the house, and he knew that the old lady had just been picked up. She went back to the yard to wash up briefly, changed her clothes, and rushed to Jingyun Hall. The courtyard has been fenced off by three layers of people inside and three layers outside, and it seems that they are all waiting for peace.

Gongsun Mu stood with a few young ladies in the house. Seeing Gongsun Lan coming, he walked out of the crowd and motioned for her to stand with them over there.

Gongsun Lan stepped forward to greet the sisters, and the little girls didn't dare to talk to her, so they returned the salute obediently. Gongsun Lan didn't care, but asked Gongsun Mudao: "Fourth sister, is my grandfather talking to my grandmother inside?" ”

Gongsun Mu nodded and said, "Grandfather just came back for a while, and went directly into Jingyun Hall to talk to grandmother. A group of us are all waiting here to go in and say hello. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded, stood still in place, and was ready to wait with everyone, but he didn't expect the old lady to let people spread the word, saying that it was getting late today, let everyone go back first, and if there was anything to say, I would talk about it tomorrow.

Gongsun Lan followed everyone and walked out, but Linghuai stopped her and said, "Fifth Miss, the old lady invites you to come in and talk." ”

Gongsun Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, her feelings were waiting for her?

Ling Huai stepped forward first and opened the curtain, and Gongsun Lan slowly walked into the room, which was very quiet. She swept her eyes, but she didn't see the figure of the old lady, only an old man with a white beard but strong spirits sat in the upper seat with his eyes closed, where was half sick.

Before Gongsun Lan finished looking, he heard a calm voice with a slight hoarse voice that had experienced the vicissitudes of life and said, "You are not very old, but your courage is not small. ”
