Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Qin sort out her somewhat messy sideburns, when suddenly she sighed, and Mrs. Qin said, "What's the matter?" What the fuss? ”

Yu'er said a little anxiously: "Madam, the white jade on your hairpin has fallen off——"

Hearing this, he reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there was originally a pair, but now there is only one lone left.

She was a little anxious and said: "This is the queen mother's reward, but it fell on the way?" ”

Yu'er also panicked, turned around and saw Lu Ran who was waiting not far away, and raised his voice: "Hey, come here, did you see Madame's white jade pressing sideburns just now?" ”

Lu Ran was a little puzzled, and Mrs. Qin angrily took off the other one from her sideburns and said, "It's a pair with this one, have you just seen it?" Lu Ran frowned and thought about it carefully: "When I was in Yikun Palace, I saw Madame, and Madame only had this one on her sideburns——"

Yu'er suddenly said: "Oh, it must be the county lord or Hanyue Tower before, how can this be good?" ”

Mrs. Qin glared at Yu'er, and said angrily: "What can I do, this is a reward from the Queen Mother, if you lose it, it will be disrespectful, why don't you look for it?" ”

Yu'er thought for a while, and said to Lu Ran: "My wife and I will go to the county lord, you look in the direction of Hanyue Tower-"

As he spoke, he helped Mrs. Qin get up and went in the direction of Jiang Li'er's bedroom.

Lu Ran had no choice, so he had to stop a small chamberlain nearby, and after asking the direction of Hanyue Tower, he went towards Hanyue Tower.

But I didn't want to go to the lotus pond, and I saw a woman sitting next to the water, although it was spring, but the maid still carefully put down the curtain of the pavilion -

Lu Ran looked over unconsciously, only felt a familiar feeling, the little eunuch behind him coughed, which was regarded as a reminder, Lu Ran came back to his senses and turned to leave.

At this time, the people in the pavilion also raised their heads and looked in the direction of Lu Ran.

But only to see the back of a dark-clothed man and a man dressed as an attendant, he left.

He Xi only felt that the person was somewhat familiar, but before she could remember who that person was, the figure was gone.

Ruyi asked, "Miss, what are you looking at?" ”

He Xi shook his head and said, "It's nothing-"

Jiang An is such a well-behaved person, seeing that He Xi has been a little worried since he saw that person, he whispered: "Look at that person's appearance, it seems to be the guard of the Taiwei Mansion——"

Ruyi was a little puzzled and said: "When will the guards of the Taiwei Mansion be able to walk freely in the Xiliang Palace?" ”

Jiang An smiled and said: "This girl doesn't know, in fact, now, it's not just Mrs. Qin's favor, but also Mrs. Qin's ability in the previous dynasty, so the people in the palace are more or less in awe of the people of their Qin Mansion, if the slave is not mistaken, it is a guard surnamed Lu who follows Taiwei Qin——"

He Xi said thoughtfully: "Isn't Taiwei Qin unfavorable?" ”

Mentioning the matter of the previous dynasty, Jiang An became more and more careful, he looked around, and saw that there were only a few maidservants who were responsible for pruning flowers and branches nearby, so he said with confidence: "After the prince left Beijing, Taiwei Qin suddenly began to rectify military discipline, and I heard that a few small commanders have been disposed of now——"

He Xi narrowed his eyes, only stared at the leaves floating up and down in the cup and said, "It's all the prince's people—"

Jiang An nodded, shook his head again and said: "More than that, but this matter is secret, and it was already a few days ago, that is, the day after the prince left Beijing, but the news we got is only this, and there is no more detail——"

He Xi gently tapped on the table and said, "It's not just the prince's person, it seems that this Qin Hao has been instructed by someone, but who is the person behind this, is it Your Majesty or the Queen Mother?" ”

Jiang An said with some puzzlement: "Aren't the Queen Mother and Your Majesty on the same side now?" ”

He Xi was silent, she had been thinking about it for the past few days, did Ning Yi really believe in herself like this?

Think you can turn the tide when he's gone and wait for him to come back?

Even she herself is not completely sure, and a person like Ning Yi is really willing to take risks?

It's Najiang Li'er again.

Obviously, no, but since he won't, he must have a person he trusts very much, this person must have certain rights, and this person, Ning Yixin, and at the most critical time, he will not abandon Jiang Li'er.

And he is just a target, so that the eyes of those who oppose him are focused on him.

This person may be Ning Hong, or maybe it is the Queen Mother of the West?

I don't know, everything is unknown, but obviously, the people behind this are really ruthless, and they can make Ning Yi's people so jealous that they don't dare to send the news rashly, they must have some skill.

He Xi was distracted, lowering her eyes to see the reflection in the cup, Jiang An was standing behind her, with a complicated expression and a hint of inquiry.

He Xi's fingers trembled slightly, ripples rippled in the cup, and Jiang An's face was shattered.

He Xi curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back-"

Jiang An and Ruyi hurriedly helped He Xi to get up, but he didn't want He Xi to stand up, so he was unstable and planted behind him.

Jiang An's eyes were quick, and he rushed in front of Ruyi and supported He Xi.

He Xi felt the strength of that arm, calm and powerful, not like the strength of an inner servant at all.

Ruyi was a little flustered, took He Xi from Jiang An's hand, and said repeatedly: "Miss, how is it?" Are you not feeling well, Jiang An, you go to the imperial doctor-"

He Xi hurriedly shook his hand and stopped: "No, it's just that I've been sitting for too long, just go back and take a rest, don't alarm others-"

After that, he looked at Jiang An half gratefully and said, "Thank you-"

Jiang An hurriedly made a humble look, and said in a deep voice: "This is what a slave should do, the prince trusts the slave, if he doesn't take care of the young lady, I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to get around the slave when he comes back——"

He Xi smiled undeniably, no one paid attention to this little episode, and the master and servant went in the direction of Hanyue Tower.

At this time, Lu Ran followed the eunuch for a long time to no avail, so he returned to the same place and waited for Mrs. Qin and Yu'er.

After a long time, I saw Mrs. Qin and Yu'er with a relieved look, and it seemed that they had found it.

Lu Ran took a step forward and arched his hand: "Since Madame has found it, the little one will send Madame home——"

Mrs. Qin glanced at Lu Ran angrily, but when she saw Lu Ran's * and stone-like face, she had to compromise, and Yu'er brought the white jade sideburns with her, and then left the palace.

Along the way, Lu Ran walked far behind as if he had something on his mind, Yu'er helped Mrs. Qin, and said carefully: "Madam, will we come to the palace tomorrow?" ”

Mrs. Qin said with some distress: "Xu should come, you didn't hear the words of the Queen Mother today, that woman is from the Great Calendar, who knows if it is a fine work of the Great Calendar, and she is now very important to the regent, but who in this Xiliang does not know the friendship between the prince and the county lord, she is always thinking about accompanying the county lord during this time, I am afraid that she has some intentions." Now that the Queen Mother is sick, we have to share our worries for the Mother-"

Lu Ran listened to the chatter and laughter of the master and servant in front of him, and couldn't help but be in a trance.

He subconsciously took two steps forward and said, "Madam, who do you say is from the Great Calendar?" ”

Mrs. Qin was interrupted, frowned a little unhappily, and said angrily: "You have been with the master for so long, I don't know that the regent brought back a pregnant woman from the trip to the Great Calendar, Jinwu Zangjiao, and now she has been invited into the palace by the Queen Mother, what's the matter, is it possible that you are a little guard who still wants to know this princess?" ”

Who knew that Lu Ran's expression was solemn, and he had a strong intuition in his heart, the woman he saw today must be the person in their mouths, and this person should be known by himself.

Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Mrs. Qin pouted a little dissatisfied: "Don't get in the way, don't you want to send me back, what are you waiting for?" ”

Lu Ran was reprimanded, so he had to answer, and hurriedly invited the two of them into the carriage, but along the way, he always thought that if there was a chance, he would definitely make sure.

At this time, in the Yikun Palace, Qin Hao handed over the roster that had been ordered to investigate and screen out in the past few days to the hands of the Empress Dowager Xi, who looked at the name on it, was very angry, waved her hand and threw the roster in Qin Hao's face, and said: "Qin Hao, this is what you have done, this city defense camp is your territory, and now it seems that there is a nest of snakes and rats, so many eyeliners, why, are you blind?" ”

Qin Hao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he unconsciously looked up at the old princess on the side, but saw that she was just holding a tea cup, looking like she was out of the way.

My heart became more and more chaotic, so I had to resign myself to the ground and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, this matter is indeed the minister's negligence, and the minister's crime deserves death, but before disposing of the minister, the minister hopes to make meritorious contributions, and wants to ask the mother how to deal with these people?" ”

Empress Dowager Xi rubbed the corners of her forehead, and said in a deep voice, "What did Your Majesty say over there?" ”

Qin Hao said: "Your Majesty thinks that now that the regent is not in the court, if we get rid of all his people, it will inevitably surprise the snakes, and the gains outweigh the losses, so let the ministers transfer everyone to unimportant places, and then make plans——"

Empress Dowager Xi was a little hesitant, but she didn't want the old princess to put down the teacup in her hand gently, and then chuckled and said: "Hong'er, this child, like Yu'er, is still too benevolent in doing things-"

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at the old princess and said puzzledly: "What do you mean?" ”

The old princess straightened up and said slowly: "Once, Yu'er was still young, and those collateral in our clan thought that this title could not be occupied by a stinky child, and I thought about giving me a child several times, but in fact, they were all Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it, at that time, I asked Yu'er, if the decision was up to him, what would he do——"
