Chapter 503: Investigation 3

In the blink of an eye, there were two suspicions, but the results of Wen Wan and Li Shuyun were too different, one left without guilt, nothing happened, the other thought about it behind closed doors, and offended the emperor, the consequences are completely different, and I am afraid that the future favor will be different.

The atmosphere in the hall became heavier and heavier, and the remaining three people were even more panicked, even if they knew that they had not poisoned the queen, they might not be able to do something that made His Majesty dissatisfied, and they might end up as unlucky as Wen Cairen.

Without waiting for Luo Qingluan to ask again, Nangong Qing's eyes swept away, and a cold gaze fell on the remaining three: "Wu Cainu, you said, did you go to the queen's palace today?" ”

There was a sense of anger in the majesty that could not be ignored, Wu Feiyan was shocked when she heard it, and she almost collapsed: "Your Majesty, the concubine ......"

"I'll say it first, if there's any concealment or untruth, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Leng Sensen's words interrupted Wu Feiyan's thoughts, the strong murderous intent and impatience had already made Nangong Qing unable to restrain himself, his usually gentle and gentle temperament was completely replaced by hatred at this time, and Wu Feiyan and the other three girls who saw it shuddered.

No one noticed that Zhuang Yulan lowered her head, a flash of fear flashed in her eyes, and her eyelids twitched. She tried her best to control it, not daring to look around, the incessant prayer in her heart was just a false alarm, she had done nothing, she would not be discovered.

Even Wen Cairen and Li Baolin are nothing, how could they find out what she did?

The queen mother fainted after eating Princess Chu's plum cake today, what does it have to do with her? Wen Cairen obviously didn't save him when he saw death, Li Baolin also moved the food box, although His Majesty was angry, but they didn't murder the queen after all, so His Majesty still forgave them.

As long as Her Majesty doesn't know what she did, even if she reprimands a few words, she will be fine.

Thinking about it, she also went to the Tassel Palace a few days ago, Zhuang Yulan's heart skipped a beat, she knew that something like this would happen today, so she said that she wouldn't go. If it weren't for the Yiyang County Lord in the name of the eldest princess, if she had to do this, where would she be afraid?

Zhuang Yulan kept comforting herself, don't be afraid, don't worry, she just sent something to the queen's mother, she still had good intentions, and she didn't murder her mother, what are you afraid of! Even Wen Cairen and Li Baolin are fine, and she will be fine.

Kneeling on the ground, Wu Feiyan trembled and said: "The concubine doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, today the concubine wants to go to the queen to say goodbye, and I happened to meet Sun Cairen halfway through, so we went together." ”

At this time, Sun Qiao'er immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine met Wu Cairen halfway, so we will go to the Tassel Palace together." But I didn't expect to see the palace people of the Tassel Palace messing around at the gate of the palace, and I knew that something had happened to the queen, so we immediately went to tell the queen mother, and then ...... After a while, His Majesty and Princess Chu came. ”

Looking at Sun Qiao'er, who was not in a hurry, it was completely different from Wu Feiyan's trembling appearance, Luo Qingluan had not dealt with her much before, and that selection had no impression of her. However, Sun Qiao'er's eyes were clear, and she didn't have that kind of wandering feeling, Luo Qingluan frowned, if this Sun Qiao'er didn't have any suspicion, could it be Wu Feiyan or Zhuang Yulan who did it?

Her suspicions can only be guesses, and facts are needed to prove it, if there is no result after asking these three people, then the matter will be complicated, and it may not be possible to find out today.

But no matter what, you have to ask these three people before you can be sure. In addition to today's events, we must not forget the past few days.

"Since Wu Cairen and Sun Cairen didn't go to the Tassel Palace today, I don't think I would have the opportunity to contact the queen mother, but I also want to ask, have the two talented people seen the queen mother in the past few days, what have they done, and what have they said?"

Luo Qingluan smiled faintly, his eyes on the two of them, with an undeniable force.

"Ask a few days ago?" Wu Feiyan subconsciously asked, and hurriedly covered her mouth when the words came out, but it was too late.

Immediately, I saw Nangong Qing's cold gaze sweeping, but fortunately, Luo Qingluan immediately said: "Although the queen mother fainted today, there are some methods that are applied to people, and it will take a few days to attack, for the sake of prudence, I can only bother Wu Cairen and Sun Cairen to think about it." ”

I didn't expect Luo Qingluan to answer her, Wu Feiyan glanced at Sun Qiao'er, her expression was sneering, and she paused before saying: "Back to Princess Chu, I have lived in Shui'an Palace with Sun Cairen, Li Baolin and others since I entered the palace, although there is some distance from the tassel palace of the queen's mother, but I will go to the queen's mother on time every day to ask for a salute." Niangniang sympathized with my sisters and said that there was no need to go every day, it was enough to have this intention. ”

"It's just that I think that my mother is pregnant recently, and we don't dare to disturb my mother every day." Sun Qiao'er continued: "So there are fewer people who have fallen in the past few days. The day before yesterday, His Majesty rewarded a basket of kumquats down, and I made kumquat tea and wanted Niangniang to taste it, but Ruyi around Niangniang said that Niangniang couldn't eat casually, so I brought it back. ”

After a pause, Wu Feiyan said again: "I'm not as clever as Sun Cai, I can't make these foods, and I'm afraid that my mother will eat anything casually, in case she feels unwell, it's mine." In the past few days of entering the palace, I only gave a sachet embroidered by myself to Niangniang, although it is not a good thing, but it is also a heart. ”

Although they looked calm on their faces, Wu Feiyan and Sun Qiao'er secretly sweated, and slowly told them about the past three days.

From childhood to adulthood, they don't know how many intrigues they have seen, on the surface the family is harmonious, but behind the scenes, they fight to the death. Mother, aunts, and sisters at home, who has no mind and can't do anything? If it weren't for the identity of their daughters-in-law, they have been careful since they were young, but I'm afraid that something would have happened a long time ago, let alone in this harem?

If you want to fix a person, sometimes it's not what you do, but what you don't do, you will be calculated, and you can't argue. Even if they didn't harm the queen's mother, if Luo Qingluan wanted to clear his name, it would not be impossible to bite them.

"That's it, except for the first time, we didn't send anything to the Tassel Palace, and we didn't see the queen again."

Nangong Qing's face was very bad, he pondered for a moment, and then asked Luo Qingluan's opinion: "Princess Chu, what do you see?" ”

After comparing with the suspicions in his heart, Luo Qingluan said: "Since Sun Cairen and Wu Cairen have already said that the sachet and others will let Ruyi take it, and I didn't go to the Tassel Palace today, so I think it has nothing to do with Niangniang's coma." ”

"Well, then you guys stand down." Nangong Qing's voice was a little more deflated, and he waved his hand helplessly.

He didn't want to hear that these talented people who had just entered the palace did it, but he didn't want to hear that they didn't do it. If not these people, who are they? Could it be Luo Qingluan, or the girl next to her? He didn't want to believe that it was Luo Qingluan, and Luo Qingluan had no motive at all to kill Su Yi, how could it be?

Sun Qiao'er and Wu Feiyan were overjoyed, relieved, and hurriedly thanked and retreated.

Before leaving, he glanced at the remaining Zhuang Yulan, with a meaningful and obscure look. Since it's not them, only Zhuang Yulan is left, who is it if it's not her?

Zhuang Yulan also has this kind of crisis, seeing that four of the five people have cleared their suspicions, His Majesty did not investigate deeply, thinking that he did not suspect them. So only herself is left, and the only thing left after the exclusion is not made clear that it is her?

Becoming more and more worried, Zhuang Yulan knelt on the ground, not daring to move. only felt that a few scrutinizing eyes fell on her, her heart beat faster, she didn't even dare to breathe, and cold sweat broke out on her body.

"What's the matter, only Zhuang is left?" Suddenly, the Queen Mother's voice sounded faintly, gloomy, almost making Zhuang Yulan cry out in fright: "Since it's not the four of them, is it Zhuang Cairen?" Did you hurt the queen? ”

"No, no!"

was already frightened, but when Zhuang Yulan heard this, she immediately panicked: "Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubine didn't harm the queen!" The concubine has not been to the Tassel Palace at all today, and she hasn't even taken a step out of the door in the past few days, if it wasn't for the queen mother's summons, the concubine wouldn't have gone out a step. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Zhuang Cairen doesn't like to go out?"

Luo Qingluan felt a little strange: "The five of you Zhuang Cairen who only entered the palace after living in Shui'an Palace, everyone else likes to go out, why don't Zhuang Cairen like to go out?" Wouldn't that seem unsociable? ”

"No, I have been quiet since I was a child, and when I didn't enter the palace before, my mother would only take me out during festivals or banquets at home. Usually I read and write at home, or I am a female celebrity, and I rarely go out. ”

It seems that the more she wants to argue, the more empty Zhuang Yulan becomes: "I also know that Sun Cairen likes to go to the imperial garden for a walk, but I prefer to be quiet, except for sending a pot of orchids to the queen a few days ago, I rarely go out." ”

"What did you give your mother?" It seemed that he had noticed something, Luo Qingluan asked.

"It's a pot of flowers." Zhuang Yulan lowered her head and became more and more cautious: "I also heard Niangniang say by accident that she used to like orchids very much, so I asked my family to send a pot into the palace and dedicated it to Niangniang......

"Zhuang Cairen, you have only been in the palace for a few days, and you have actually given and received it privately and contacted the outside of the palace?" The Queen Mother was furious, the Buddha beads in her hand shook, and the crisp voice made Zhuang Yulan's heart jump out.

"The concubine is guilty, the concubine has just entered the palace, and she is not used to it for a while, she really misses her family too much, and she still wants to please the queen, so she ...... begged the queen mother for forgiveness, and the concubine didn't dare anymore. ”

In normal times, it is a big crime for the concubines in the palace to contact their mother's family privately, but now, Nangong Qing is most concerned about investigating the reason for the queen's coma, so he doesn't care so much: "Forget it, Queen Mother, Zhuang Cairen is just a first-time offender, just know your mistakes." In the future, they will send more people to teach them the rules of the palace, that is, they will not make an example. ”

did not continue to dwell on this matter, Nangong Qing was very disappointed: "Princess Chu, it seems that it has nothing to do with Zhuang Cairen. ”

It has nothing to do with it, only Luo Qingluan knows it in her heart, and she said lightly: "I've finished asking, then Zhuang Cairen can leave." ”

originally thought that he would be the last one and would be framed for this, but when he heard that Zhuang Yulan had been pardoned, he thanked him again and again and retreated.

Silence returned to the empty hall, the queen mother's face was gloomy, Nangong Qing's brows were tightly locked, and only Luo Qingluan was contemplating. I asked Nangong Qing's new five concubines just now, although I couldn't see anything on the surface, but combined with what I found in the tassel just now, it seems that I already have some eyebrows. But she had to check it again before she could finalize it.

"After checking for a long time, what's the matter, Your Majesty, Princess Chu, haven't you found anything?" The Queen Mother's tone was not very good. Although she didn't believe that Luo Qingluan did it, and Imperial Doctor Hu also confirmed that there was no problem with the plum cake, she couldn't find the reason why the queen was in a coma!

Nangong Qing was also very worried, he asked for a long time according to Luo Qingluan's proposal just now, but he didn't see anything: "Princess Chu, if they didn't do it, then ......"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I already have a rough idea, and then go back to the Queen Mother's Tassel Palace to take a look, and I can basically determine what is going on." Luo Qingluan smiled slightly.
