Fortunately, at three o'clock, there was movement outside the window.

Zhuang Yulan almost fell asleep, although she had something in her heart, but she was usually pampered, and she was not favored when she entered the palace, but her life was also all kinds of delicate, and she would sleep every day as soon as it was dark, where did she wait so late today?

Tuk Tuk ......

The sound of tapping outside the window was like a nightingale pecking, and it was like someone tapping with one finger. Zhuang Yulan woke up in an instant, her movements were too big, and she almost touched the candle on the table.

Hurriedly holding on to the candlestick, she quickly got up and walked to the window, Zhuang Yulan opened the window, and sure enough, she saw the palace maid who had contacted her before. This palace maid is ostensibly from the Tassel Palace, called Zhu Yun, who is responsible for serving tea and pouring water around the queen. But Zhuang Yulan knew that Zhu Yun was actually the person next to the princess, and she didn't know how the princess stuffed people into the Tassel Palace and why she spied on the queen.

"You're finally here, I thought you weren't coming." Zhuang Yulan had a somewhat complaining tone.

Although the pot of orchids she gave to the queen last time was actually on the order of the princess, it was quietly brought in by Yu Chi Lianqing, and the follow-up matter was that Zhu Yun was responsible for delivering the news. In the face of the princess or Yu Chi Lianqing, Zhuang Yulan was naturally polite, and she would not say anything serious, but in the face of a little palace maid, she couldn't be polite.

Who knows, Zhu Yun's face sank: "Little Master Zhuang, why don't you sleep so late, if someone finds something abnormal, it will be troublesome to suspect you." ”

"What kind of tone do you have, when will this little master sleep and ask you to take care of a slave?" Zhuang Yulan was immediately unkind, she was scolded by the emperor and the queen mother during the day, but she didn't expect to be frightened, and she would be dumped by a palace maid at night, where could she not help it.

But Zhu Yun didn't give face at all, and stood coldly outside the window and said: "The slave doesn't want to take care of the little master of the village, but just wants to remind the little master of the village, if His Majesty suspects that the pot of flowers sent by the little master of the village has played a role, the queen mother who is harmed will have an accident, I am afraid that not to mention the little master of the village, even if it is your father Guanglu Temple Qingzhuang will not be able to protect himself!" ”

Shocked, Zhuang Yulan suddenly clenched her fists, and she couldn't wait to slap Zhu Yun in the face. But after all, she knew that what the other party said was true, and she didn't want to complain about it when she lit the lamp to find Zhu Yun tonight, her face twitched, and she finally endured it.

After being silent for a moment, Zhu Yun said with a straight face: "Okay, what is the matter with the little master of Zhuang hurry up." ”

Thinking about the matter, Zhuang Yulan finally restrained her anger and said, "You can find a chance to ask the princess, or the county lord of Yiyang can also ask them to find a chance to enter the palace to meet me." I have something to say to them......"

"Has the little master of Zhuang forgotten his identity?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yun not only did not agree, but said: "The princess said, if there is something, she will naturally take the initiative to contact the little master of Zhuang, and the little master of Zhuang is already the identity of the concubine of the harem, and you can't contact people outside the palace at will, and it is even more inappropriate to contact the princess." In case someone finds out something, I'm afraid that I will associate something that is not good for the princess, but the little master of the village is still more peaceful, and the princess will look for you if there is something. ”

"However, today Your Majesty and Luo Qingluan are clearly suspicious of me."

Thinking of the words Luo Qingluan asked, as well as her eyes, Zhuang Yulan felt uneasy when she had a ghost in her heart. What if Luo Qingluan or His Majesty finds out?

I thought I would send a pot of flowers to the queen, and it would be fine, but the queen fell into a coma. And after investigating for a long time today, the rest of the people have no problem, whether it is the sachet sent or Luo Qingluan's box of plum cakes...... Since there is nothing wrong with things, then the queen should not be in a coma, but the queen still has an accident, which proves that there is something wrong with her.

Zhuang Yulan immediately suspected that there was something wrong with the pot of Jianlan she sent, otherwise why would the princess let the county lord of Yiyang enter the palace and specially sent her this pot of flowers, so that she could put it in the queen's tassel palace?

It must be like this, although Zhuang Yulan knew that she had escaped the first inspection, but what if the pot of orchids had been left unattended, what if the queen fell into a coma again? Or what if someone checks out something wrong with that potted flower?

At that time, she really couldn't argue, and the explanation was useless.

However, when she thought that she was going to admit it to His Majesty, Zhuang Yulan didn't have the courage to do so!

Wen Cairen was just scared and ran away secretly, but he was still charged with death by His Majesty and ordered to think about it behind closed doors. If His Majesty knew that the pot of flowers was given to the queen by her, even if she didn't know it, she wouldn't be able to escape the guilt, and it would definitely be worse than Wen Cairen.

"This, little master Zhuang doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has asked people to clean up all the things of the queen mother, you have lost everything you sent over, everything is gone, how can Your Majesty doubt it?"

Zhu Yun said expressionlessly: "Okay, little master Zhuang doesn't have to think nonsense, if there is any problem, I will tell you." With that, she turned to leave.

"Wait!"

How can Zhuang Yulan be willing, after all, she is involved in this matter, but she doesn't know it clearly, as if she is alone in the dark about everything, and she is not as good as the palace maid in front of her. didn't want to put her fate in the hands of others, Zhuang Yulan immediately said: "Then tell me, is there a problem with that pot of orchids?" ”

It was a matter of life and death, and she had to ask more.

In the night, Zhu Yun seemed impatient, she frowned and said, "This kind of thing, the little master Zhuang doesn't need to know about it......"

"There's something wrong with the flowers, isn't there?" Originally, I was still suspicious, but this time Zhu Yun didn't say it directly, but Zhuang Yulan affirmed it all of a sudden. If there is no problem, why should the princess do everything possible to let her transfer this flower to the queen, if there is no problem, Zhu Yun can say it directly...... Since she didn't say it, the princess still acted so much, then it was clear that there was something wrong with the flower.

"What's your name! No matter how loud you are, you want to attract people, don't you? ”

Startled by Zhuang Yulan's voice, Zhu Yun covered her mouth with a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Little Master Zhuang, the ugly words of the slave and maid can be said here, no matter whether there is a problem with the flower, you have done it anyway." Although I don't know when His Majesty will investigate, if the little master Zhuang dares to involve the princess, you will bear the consequences! ”

With a sinister aura on her face, Zhu Yun didn't look like a palace maid at all at this moment, but with the murderous aura of an executioner. Zhuang Yulan suddenly struggled in fright, and wanted to bite her hand with one mouth.

"You ......" Suddenly in pain, Zhu Yun pushed Zhuang Yulan away fiercely, looking at the row of tooth marks on his hands that were bitten. If it weren't for the speed of her retraction, I was afraid that she would really be bitten off a piece of meat.

"I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me, do you hear it!"

Zhuang Yulan was shocked by Zhu Yun's words, and completely forgot where she was, "It's all the princess who asked me to do it, even if Your Majesty finds out, it has nothing to do with me...... Never mind! No, I'm going to tell Your Majesty that the princess asked me to put this flower in the queen's bedroom, and even if something happens to the queen, it's the princess's problem......"

Completely stupefied by the consequences of this incident, Zhuang Yulan finally knew that she was being used by the princess. And the palace maid in front of her had a fierce look, I was afraid that if something really happened to her, the other party would put the blame on her.

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, Zhuang Yulan's panicked heart jumped out, the more she thought about it, the worse it became, the more terrible she felt, her voice became louder and louder, and she completely forgot to control it.

"Shut up, little master Zhuang, did you hear it, if you make any more noise, it will alarm others......"

"I didn't do it, I didn't want to hurt the queen...... It's none of my business! ”

Zhuang Yulan was completely frightened, her mouth kept muttering to herself, and her eyes were full of frightened looks. Zhu Yun kept telling her to shut up and didn't hear it, her voice was too loud, it spread far away in the night, the lights had been turned off next to her, and someone in the room was woken up, and the lights were turned on one by one......

"Shut up!" A murderous intent flashed in Zhu Yun's eyes, and seeing that Zhuang Yulan was about to scream, she quickly slashed at Zhuang Yulan's neck, and then dragged her out of the window.

"Who...... I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what is the noise......"

Seeing that there was a sound of talking in the room next to him, it seemed that someone was going to come over to see, Zhu Yun picked up Zhuang Yulan who was unconscious and ran, and ran to a pool in a few flashes and threw Zhuang Yulan down.

With a plop, Zhuang Yulan suddenly woke up after choking on the water, but she was caught off guard, and was immediately filled with a mouthful of pool water, and the cry for help from her mouth was also drowned in the water. In a moment, her struggle eased and she slowly sank into the water.

Seeing that there was no movement in the pool, Zhu Yun snorted coldly and left quietly.

But what she didn't notice was that under the shade of a tree not far away, a voice came out, glanced at Zhuang Yulan's body in the pool, and left without moving.

After another moment, the forbidden army patrolling all the way passed by, and the light of the fire reflected in the pool, and someone accidentally looked at it and immediately shouted: "Someone has fallen into the water!" ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion by the pool, and after a while, Sun Dafu, the chief supervisor of the internal prison, was also alarmed, and entered the Shui'an Palace with a group of palace maids and eunuchs......

All night, the people of Shui'an Palace were panicked, and no one slept.

Day 2......

"What, Zhuang Cairen assassinated the queen and committed suicide in fear of crime?" When Nangong Qing heard the news, his eyes widened.

Sun Dafu bowed down and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhuang Cairen was found by the patrolling forbidden army last night and drowned in the pool next to Shui'an Palace. Other than that, there are no other injuries on her body, presumably suicide. ”

Suicide, how could it be suicide?

Nangong Qing's face was dark, he didn't expect this to happen.

Yesterday, Luo Qingluan said that Zhuang Yulan might have a problem, so she wanted to continue to wait to see if she would show her feet. But I didn't expect her to drown that night, isn't there a problem?

Drowning is real, but dreadful sin suicide is not necessarily true!

If you are really afraid of sin and even have the courage to commit suicide, why didn't you confess earlier? Didn't Zhuang Yulan think about fighting for a chance to survive? Or is she worried that what she did would implicate the dealer, so she simply died without proof? But with such a character, would she really have the courage to commit suicide?

Nangong Qing sneered: "What kind of suicide is afraid of crime, I'm afraid that someone is murdering!" Check, check for me! ”

After Sun Dafu left, Nangong Qing was bored in the warm pavilion, and heard someone from the palace come to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Chu is here." ”

"Princess Chu? Please! ”

Nangong Qing's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Luo Qingluan to come at this time, he was just about to find someone to discuss her and come, it was really good.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Luo Qingluan was supported by Dai Yue and warmed up.

"Princess Chu, you came just in time, I have something to tell you, Zhuang Cairen committed suicide last night in fear of crime and drowned in the pool......"

Before Nangong Qing's words were finished, Luo Qingluan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, I am here for this matter." ”

A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, Nangong Qing looked at Luo Qingluan, and was ignored by her behavior, and was actually helped in by Dai Yue from beginning to end: "Does Princess Chu already know about Zhuang Cairen's death?" ”

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, after Zhuang Cairen returned to the palace last night, in fact, I sent someone to monitor her, whether Zhuang Cairen committed suicide or was killed in fear of crime, my people can see it clearly." Luo Qingluan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't forget the people of the Dark Night Hall, right?" ”
