If this matter had nothing to do with Xie Lingrong, what would An Ran do? It's nothing more than trying to destroy the evidence, isn't it Xie Lingrong who really killed her?

Now that bowl of soup is long gone. In the world, except for Jiang De who knows the truth, only Xie Lingrong can tell her.

This time, Xie Lingrong should attend as her daughter. As her fourth sister, she can at least be closer to her.

It wasn't completely fruitless to go out this night, at least Chu Yu would know that this matter was related to the queen, and she would have to find a way to tell him. After going back, I fell asleep and forgot about Liuying.

In the morning, Jiang Wan was woken up by a burst of crying. She went out in her clothes and saw Ling Lan sobbing quietly.

"What's going on?" Jiang Huan's sudden question startled Ling Lan.

Ling Lan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry for the princess, it's the slave who made a fuss about you." ”

Jiang Wan said, "Aren't you crying here just to wake me up?" ”

"Slave maid......" Ling Lan was stunned and glanced at Jiang Huan to explain something, but was directly interrupted by Jiang Wan and said, "What happened?" ”

Ling Lan wiped her tears again and said, "The princess, the slave maid just did her duty as a slave and maid, and when she saw the princess get up, she thought about serving him to change clothes and have breakfast, but she didn't think that she was beaten down by the laughing girl. said, saying that serving the prince can only be her business, and others can't take their turn at all. The slave maid felt that this was too ridiculous, as if the prince was her alone, isn't there still a princess on top of you? The more the slave thought about it, the more angry she became, so she had a quarrel with her, but the slave was stupid, and she was scolded by her, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only cry here. ”

After listening to Ling Lan, Jiang Wan didn't speak for a while, but just looked at her. Ling Lan didn't know why, and her eyes were a little timid. Then Jiang Wan smiled and said, "What Liu Xiao'er said is not wrong, she has been serving the prince for a long time before I entered the palace." Even if I come, she still handles the food and daily life of the prince, and I don't ask about it. Since you are the maid I brought in, you only care about serving me. If you think it's too easy to serve me, I can move you elsewhere, not knowing that the princess is still short of manpower. ”

Ling Lan didn't expect Jiang Wan to answer like this, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave maid will stay by the princess and wait." Since the princess said that there is no need for slaves and maids to serve the princess, then the slaves and maids will not serve, and will only concentrate on serving the princess in the future. I also asked the princess not to drive the slaves away. ”

"You are the person I brought, you didn't do anything wrong, what did I drive you to do. In that case, stay in this court. Jiang Wan was about to turn around, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "But where did you see the prince of the world?" ”

Ling Lan replied, "I was shouted by the second son to go for a walk in the garden." ”

"Oh. What kind of clothes is the prince wearing today? ”

"It's a purple brocade robe."

Jiang Wan said with a smile, "Even if you are wronged, you are meticulous in your observation of the prince." ”

Ling Lan was speechless by Jiang Wan's words.

Jiang Wan secretly thought about what Fang Cai said, it was clear that Ling Lan had calculated to add oil and vinegar here to provoke the relationship between her and Liu Xiao'er, and deliberately cried in front of her eyes, thinking that Jiang Wan would punish Liu Xiao'er for this matter. The girl in front of her is quite deep, if it weren't for that reason, she would never have been left by her side. Since she stayed, she should be careful and see what her purpose is.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the fireflies rushing over, "Miss, why did you come back before the slave?" ”

Jiang Wan looked at the panting Liuying and said, "Come in and say, look at your panting, aren't I good?" It's you, why haven't you seen you? ”

Liuying followed Jiang Wan into the house and said, "The slave waited for you all night, looking for you everywhere, but I didn't find you." In the morning, when the slave asked the guard at the door, she learned that the young lady had returned. ”

"So, you haven't slept all night?" Jiang Wan asked.

Liuying's eyes flickered for a moment, and then nodded, "That's natural, I can't find Miss, where do the slaves go to sleep?" ”

But Jiang Wan looked at Liuying, and her face was not the tired look that she hadn't slept all night. And there is a lot of wet yellow mud on the soles of her embroidered shoes. This yellow mud is very rare in the imperial capital, and it didn't rain in the imperial capital last night, so it is unlikely that there will be wet yellow mud. Jiang Wan remembered that there was this kind of mud on the outskirts of the imperial capital. Could it be that Liuying went to the suburbs to find her?

Hotaru didn't tell her the truth.

Jiang Wan remembered that Liuying had asked her before, what if she found out that she had lied to her? Liuying was afraid that she really had something to hide from her, but she still thought like that, if she didn't want to say it, she Jiang Wan wouldn't be reluctant to ask.

On the promenade in the garden, the two brothers, Chu Yu and Chu Nian, were walking casually.

"Big brother, after you returned to your normal appearance, I didn't know what to say all of a sudden. I always feel that I can take care of you to the fullest before, but now, you don't need to, so I feel a little uncomfortable. Chu Nian smiled a little unnaturally at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu looked at him and said gently, "You don't have to be uncomfortable. I'm still your big brother, and I haven't changed. ”

Chu Nian was stunned for a moment and said, "Big brother, I should be happy like this." Some of my temperament did not follow my father, and my mother often said that I was a little weak in my temperament, so my father did not pin the hope of the Chu family on me. Originally, I felt a lot of pressure and always wanted to work harder. But now that you're good big brother, I think my father is ...... too."

"Second brother." Chu Yu interrupted Chu Nian's words, he knew what he was going to say next. Chu Yu chose to return to normal, not for the so-called position of the prince, or for the future title, he had his own considerations. He couldn't let Chu Nian see too much hope.

"I don't care about those things, I'm thinking about letting my father play the Holy Lord, and you will inherit my father's title in the future." He should have said this in his study that day. But he could see that Chu Jian was worried about the Xie family. The fourth lady beside him still doesn't know about the Xie family, but Xie Yubing is indeed a member of the Xie family. Once this matter is raised now, it will undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of the emperor. That's why he didn't bring it up at the time.

"Big brother, what do you mean by this? I never wanted to take your place. ”

"It's not necessarily anyone's place, it's just that I was born a few years before you. The eldest brother believes that you can fulfill your father's sustenance, but the time is not yet ripe. ”

Chu Nian insisted on saying, "Big brother, whether you told your father about this matter, or if you didn't say it, I will definitely not agree to this matter." ”

"What are you two brothers talking about, why does it sound like they're arguing?" Xie Yubing came with Qiao'er.

Because of Ling Lan's matter, Chu Nian was still a little angry, and he didn't reconcile with Xie Yubing. Seeing her coming, he felt even more unhappy about disturbing the chat between him and Chu Yu.

"Big brother......" Xie Yubing politely saluted Chu Yu. She has always remembered Wang Ying's words, and Chu Nian cares about Chu Yu very much, so even if she pretends to be respectful, she has to be respectful of this big brother.

Chu Yu bowed slightly, and heard Chu Nian ask angrily, "What are you doing here?" Don't you see me chatting with my big brother? ”

Xie Yubing said, "The concubine knows." However, the day after tomorrow is my father's birthday, and this birthday gift is not ready yet! Didn't I come to you for counsel? ”

"You can just make up your mind about this matter, you don't need to look for me."

"How's that going to work? Xianggong, this is my father, your father-in-law has a birthday, can't you, who is an uncle, have a snack? ”

Chu Nian knew that what Xie Yubing said was reasonable, so he also endured his temper. He said, "I'm not good at gift-giving, and it just so happens that my sister-in-law is definitely going too, so you might as well discuss it with her." My eldest brother and I listen to you. ”

"How can I discuss the gift I gave her, what kind of ...... is she" The word thing didn't speak, she had already seen that Chu Nian's expression was not very good.

"Second brother, you and your younger siblings should choose a congratulatory gift. I also have to go back and discuss it with Ning'er. Chu Yu broke this discord.

"Yes, big brother." Chu Nian respected his eldest brother, so he agreed. When Xie Yubing heard this, he hurriedly happily grabbed Chu Nian's wrist and left.

Chu Yu looked at Chu Nian's departing figure and thought, it would be good if Xie Yubing abandoned the identity of the Xie family and really stayed with Chu Nian. If not, the Xie Chu family will be ...... in the future

"Master......" Liu Xiao'er quietly appeared behind Chu Yu at some point. Since she came back, she hadn't reported to Chu Yu what she knew in the princess's mansion last night.

"Hmm." Chu Yu walked forward seemingly unintentionally, while Liu Xiao'er followed by his side.

When there was no one around, Liu Xiao'er said, "On the day of the eldest princess, King Huai'an, the emperor, and the queen all went to the princess's mansion. And on the second day of the eldest princess, the first woman in the palace went to the princess's mansion, and the purse on her body was embroidered with the word An. ”

"Ann?" This clue was clueless for Chu Yu. He didn't know much about the people in the palace, so he obviously couldn't guess.

Liu Xiao'er thought for a while, and then said, "But the eldest princess seemed to be in a bad mood that day, and it is said that one of her favorite faces was punished by the palace." ”

"Where is the man now?"

Liu Xiao'er shook her head, "The slave doesn't know about this." After hearing about the eldest princess, the faces in the princess's mansion ran and fled, some were let go by the emperor, and some were executed by the emperor. As for that one, the slave and maid had to go and check it again. ”

"Yujiu?" Chu Yu suddenly pronounced the name. Chu Yu remembered that once when Jiang Wan came to the palace to look for Chu Qian, he mentioned that Chu Nian's skin was the same as the jade nine in her mansion. The person who can be talked about by her should be her favorite face.

"Master?"

"You go and check this person named Yujiu."

"Yes!"

Chu Yu thought to himself that Liu Xiao'er didn't mention anything about meeting "Xie Ning" in the mansion, it seems that she hid it well and didn't let Liu Xiao'er find out. The martial arts are so strong, did you really grow up in a nunnery? If so, why didn't she mention anything about it?
