Chapter 35
"Erchen really doesn't know!" Yun Lan insisted, "Please also ask my father to investigate!" ”
"I don't know anything..."
Emperor Yun nodded, and suddenly became angry, "Do you really think that you can hide those things you did openly and secretly?!" ”
"In the past, I didn't expose you, because you have fought for the country for many years and made great contributions!"
"You are arbitrary in the army, do you know how many of my desk books are with you?"
Emperor Yun glanced at Yun Lan coldly, and then said, "That's all, now your hands are actually stretched out in the harem!" ”
"Relying on my favor and openly breaking into the inner prison, if you said that you didn't do anything to that Lan Xiang, then why did she commit suicide?"
"Could anyone use their life to frame someone she never knew?"
Emperor Yun's harsh rebuke made Yun Lan speechless, not to mention other things for the time being, Lan Xiang committed suicide inexplicably, he couldn't explain it anyway.
Emperor Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in his heart, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice, "In vain, I trust you so much, and this is how you repay me..."
"The father thought that the son was wrong, and the son did not dare to argue anymore, and hoped that the father would take the dragon body as the priority and temporarily calm the wrath of the thunder. If the father wants to punish his son, the son will never complain. ”
Seeing Emperor Yun's increasingly haggard face, Yun Lan's heart tightened, and she didn't dare to excuse herself anymore at the moment, so she had to be satisfied.
"Passing on the decree, Yun Lan, the king of Qin, is proud of his merits, trespasses into the inner prison, is lawless, and he is grounded in the mansion, and he cannot come out without a will. After the truth is further clarified, it will be disposed of separately. ”
"Your Majesty..."
The queen thought that Emperor Yun had such a big fire today, and at least she had to be demoted, but why did it become thunderous and rainy in the end?
"Let's do it first, look at the mess of the day!"
Ignoring the empress, Emperor Yun got up impatiently and left the imperial study with the support of Gonggong Zheng.
"Your Majesty, get on!"
Yun Yining originally wanted to use the power of the Five Emperor Brothers to rescue his mother and concubine, but he didn't expect that the person was not saved, and even the Fifth Emperor Brother himself was implicated, which made him feel guilty.
Now that the King of Qin was grounded in the mansion, Yun Yining fell into an isolated situation for a while.
"What did you say?!"
In Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian was taken aback when she learned about the imperial study. Since Concubine Rong was wronged, Concubine Xian has been thinking about how to save her, and now it is good, and her son has also been grounded by the emperor because of this matter.
"Your Majesty is furious today, and when the palace reprimands His Highness for being arrogant and arbitrary, Niangniang, Your Majesty has never been like this to Your Highness before!"
The voice of the palace maid who came to report was eager, her hands clenched each other, and the tension in her heart was written on her face.
After listening to the palace maid's words, Concubine Xian's heart sank, "It seems that the queen is prepared, she didn't plan to deal with Concubine Rong from the beginning, but went to Lan'er..."
"Queen, Queen, for so many years, this palace has never offended you, but you want to attack the only son of this palace. Since this is the case, then I should let you know that the concubine of this palace for so many years is not done for nothing! ”
In the imperial study, the emperor's reprimand for placing Yun Lan under house arrest caused an uproar in the harem, and some courtiers who were originally optimistic about King Qin were also panicked and undecided, while King Jin took this opportunity to subdue many ministers for his use.
"This Yun Lan is usually cautious, I didn't expect to make such a big mistake today."
After the king of Jin heard the news that Yun Lan was grounded, he didn't know how happy he was, although everyone in the world knew that the emperor favored the king of Qin and the king of Jin, but the king of Jin himself knew that in his father's heart, he was still more partial to the king of Qin.
Now that this matter is out, his status in his father's heart will naturally surpass Yun Lan, and if he plans well in the future, the position of the crown prince may not be his.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yun Song's mouth lifted slightly, and the chill in his eyes grew, "Fifth brother, if you take a wrong step, it will be difficult to return to the sky." Rest assured, being a brother will not give you any more chances. ”
In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time, the queen mother was in a very good mood today, and wanted to drink lotus root pork rib soup, Bixin was rushing to the small kitchen to prepare for the queen mother.
"Ouch!"
After a turn, Bi Xin collided with another palace maid who looked a little older.
"Who is so unsightly!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Bixin hurriedly looked up, only to see that the person who came was the queen's maid in charge, Xueliu.
"It turned out to be Sister Xueliu, what did my sister do in such a hurry?"
Xue Liu also saw the person who hit her clearly, although she was the lady in charge of the queen's palace, but Bixin's status was not low, and the two were in the same palace, and they got along well with each other.
"Bixin, look at it next time you walk." Xue Liu sighed helplessly, "The queen mother has explained something to me, what are you going to do?" ”
"Niangniang wants to drink lotus root pork rib soup, I'll go to the small kitchen to report."
"Hey, Sister Xueliu, why haven't you seen Fubao in the past few days?"
"He... Went out. Hearing Bixin mention Fubao, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Xueliu's face, "Okay, you go quickly, I still have to go back to my mother." ”
"Sister walk slowly."
"What do you have to call the slaves and maids to come?"
In the inner hall of the Changchun Palace, a young palace maid knelt on her knees with an extremely respectful expression.
"Lan Xiang's matter, do you know the inside story?"
Concubine Xian turned her back to her and spoke lightly.
"The slave and maid know about this matter and the mother is almost the same, and the queen mother did not mention it too much to the slave and maid."
If the people in the queen's palace were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that the young palace maid kneeling behind Concubine Xian was one of the queen's personal maids, Bixin.
"However, the slave maid found that Fu Bao was not in the palace recently, and he didn't know where he went."
Fu Bao is the eunuch next to the queen, and the queen has to tell him to do most of everything.
When Concubine Xian heard this, she groaned slightly, "Lan Xiang first betrayed her master, and then committed suicide in prison, there seems to be something between the two. ”
"If—" Concubine Xian pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, "Is that so..."
I don't know what came to mind, Concubine Xian Huo Ran turned around and stared at Bi Xin with straight eyes, "Do you know, where does Lan Xiang's family live?" ”
About thirty miles outside of Beijing, there was a small town, and in one of the alleys of the town there was a family that looked fairly wealthy.
"Male... Father-in-law, I don't know what mistake the little girl made in the palace, and I want you to come to the door in person? ”
In the main hall, a gray-haired old man was serving hot tea to the cold-faced eunuch who had closed his eyes and pretended to sleep on the first seat with a flattering face, and asked carefully.
"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask."
The eunuch's eyes opened slightly, and he said coldly, "You just need to know that the fate of your whole family is in the hands of your daughter." If she's interested, everyone will naturally be fine, if she says something..."
The eunuch didn't continue, just glanced faintly at the several guards with knives standing on either side.
