Xu Lan heard this, for a while, I don't know why, I was a little angry in my heart, although Xu Lan is usually calm and rational, but because she drank too much wine today, she didn't suppress the resentment in her heart for a while, and suddenly said: "Where did the thief come from, that day the palace and the whole house, never lost any property, but the Dali Temple arbitrarily decided the case, and hastily closed the case, but poor my brother Xu Zhen, who is still in bed, unconscious and seriously injured, but the real murderer who killed him is still at large!" ”

When Cui He heard this, he was shocked: "How can this be, Dali Temple released the verdict of thieves and robbery at that time, I thought it was true, but now look at Sister Xu Lan, you say this, could it be that there is another hidden truth behind this?" ”

Xu Lan also knew that she was leaking her mouth at this time, so she might as well blush: "It's okay if you hide your feelings or not, and I don't have the ability to overturn the verdict of Dali Temple, but I just want Xu Zhen's younger brother to sober up as soon as possible, and when he comes to his senses, he will be able to know who assassinated him that day and find the real murderer as soon as possible." ”

Cui He was speechless for a while when he saw Xu Lan say this, but he still muttered: "This is really too much, in the end, Dali Temple is the prince's henchman, and the case was closed so hastily, it seems that the water in this Dali Temple is too deep." ”

Xu Lan next to her heard what Cui Yu said, but her sensitive nerves couldn't help but be stirred: "Dali Temple, is it the prince's henchman?" ”

Cui He nodded and said: ? This is natural, who doesn't know that Dali Temple Qing is the uncle of the prince's relatives, and the prince has always been friendly, although Dali Temple has always been impartial on the surface, but in the end it is also the prince's henchman, and many things are also decided by the prince. ”

When Xu Lan heard this, her heart couldn't help but feel cold, prince? Could it be that the person who killed her brother was the crown prince?

"But hasn't this Dali Temple always been under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor? How can the prince reach out? Xu Lan couldn't help but ask.

Cui He shook his head with a smile and said, "What's so difficult about this? Although Dali Temple enforces the law impartially, Dali Temple Qing cannot obey the prince's orders openly, but whenever there is a large-scale case, you can directly reveal some details of the case to the prince, but it is also possible, after all, this is all behind the scenes, and the emperor may not know about it. ”

So that's the case, I'm afraid the details of Brother Zhen'er's case at that time will also be directly revealed to the prince. Could it be that there would be other evidence from the prince?

Xu Lan thought in the direction, and thought about the current situation in the capital, and couldn't help but affirm this idea in her heart.

Although the current emperor is old, the crown prince, as the crown prince, can't help but be cowardly, even if he has the support of the ministers, but under the background of other princes, the light has dimmed a lot.

At this time, King Xu has always remained neutral and refused to join any other camp, and now King Xu's mansion was assassinated for the first time, but he was forced to be involved in this court.

This is probably what the mastermind behind the scenes wants to do, and the person who wants to fight for hope the most today is the prince.

Thinking of this, Xu Lan's heart couldn't help but become more and more affirmative, the idea that the prince must know the truth.

Cui He next to him looked at Xu Lan with a thoughtful expression, and the corners of his mouth picked slightly, but he did not interrupt Xu Lan's contemplation.

The two continued to walk side by side towards the Qianqiu Banquet. But when Xu Lan and Cui He arrived at the Qianqiu Banquet, the Qianqiu Banquet was indeed coming to an end, Xu Xin was looking for Xu Lan's whereabouts all over the audience, and when she saw Xu Lan appear, her eyes couldn't help but light up a little.

When Xu Lan saw Xu Xin's appearance, a warm current surged in her heart, and she was extremely ironed.

No matter what the wind and rain will be in the future, Xu Lan is not alone in the end, she still has her mother, father, younger brother, and sister who is extremely close to her.

When there were still a few steps away from the Qianqiu Banquet, Cui He took the initiative to stagger a few steps with Xu Lan, and he said to Xu Lan: Sister Lan, you go in first, it's not good for me to be a man and go in and out with a girl who has not left the pavilion with you, it's better for you to go in first, sister, I should go in a quarter of an hour later. ”

Xu Lan naturally thanked him for his thoughtfulness, nodded in agreement, and went in first.

After Xu Lan took a seat, she saw Cui He coming in from the entrance in a hurry, and after coming in, she didn't look in the direction of the female guest a few more times, but went straight to the male guest column.

"Sister, how are you feeling now? Are you still dizzy? I look at your face, it's still a little bit not good. Xu Xin saw that Xu Lan didn't belong, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Xu Lan came back to her senses, a smile welled up on her face, and said, "Sister, I'm fine, I'm just that she's still a little dizzy, it's really not a problem." ”

When Xu Xin saw Xu Lan say this, she could only nod and press the table.

At the Qianqiu banquet, it was still a prosperous and prosperous world, but Xu Lan's heart was fighting extremely fiercely.

If she didn't know who was behind the scenes, as a daughter's family, she could only be helplessly trapped in King Xu's mansion, and doing her best to take care of the palace was the biggest thing she could do, but now, she actually knew that the prince might be inseparable from this assassination, or let her pretend to be deaf and dumb, be a well-behaved daughter, stay in King Xu's mansion, Xu Lan really can't do it.

Especially looking at the concerned sister beside her, greeting her sister with concern from time to time, Xu Lan's heart gradually became firm, no matter what, she must do her best to protect her family, no matter who it is, she can't hurt his family, not a single bit!

The Qianqiu banquet was coming to an end, and both the female and male guests present stood up, raised their wine glasses, and congratulated the current emperor and the queen. Xu Lan and Xu Xin are no exception.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The emperor and the queen also smiled from ear to ear when they saw such a prosperous scene, and after the large-scale reward, this thousand autumn banquet came to an end.

Xu Lan and Xu Xin were naturally ready to go home, but when they walked out of the palace, Xu Lan suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Oops, my jade pendant fell on the banquet! ”

Xu Xin was naturally anxious when she heard this: "Sister, you can look for it carefully, is it really at the Qianqiu Banquet?" ”

Xu Lan fumbled anxiously on herself, raised her head and said anxiously: "Sister, yes, this jade pendant was given to me by my mother before, I must not throw it away, it is better to do this, sister, I will go back to you first, don't wait for me first, go outside the palace gate first, wait for me at the carriage, otherwise we sisters are in this palace, and it will inevitably arouse suspicion." ”

When Xu Xin heard this, she originally planned to go back with Xu Lan to find it, but now it's not good for the two sisters to go back together, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the carriage first, you can come back quickly, if you can't find it, it's okay, mother won't blame you." ”

Xu Lan nodded hurriedly and said, "I naturally know this, sister, you go first, I'll go back and find it." ”

"Miss, where did you lose your jade pendant?" Baizhu asked anxiously on the way.

Xu Lan just nodded coldly and said, "My jade pendant has not been lost, I am going to another place." ”

"Ah! Miss this is absolutely unacceptable, we must not run around in this palace, if we accidentally bump into a nobleman, it is a capital crime can be avoided, and a living crime cannot be escaped! ”

When Xu Lan heard this, she was unmoved, she just laughed and said, "Baizhu, you don't know, I have something big to do tonight." ”

After saying this, Xu Lan took off the big coat on her body and draped it on Baizhu.

"After a while, as soon as you pretend to be me in a big hat, go back to the place of the Qianqiu banquet to find something, I have another place to go now, you must be careful, if someone asks, you will say that your young lady lost the jade pendant, and you came here to find the jade pendant, do you remember?"

When Bai Zhu heard Xu Lan say this, his face was even more surprised and anxious: "Miss, this can't be helped, you must not do reckless things, in case it is discovered, this is a big crime to kill your head!" ”

Xu Lan was not as gentle as before at this time, he was easy to speak, he still shook his head indifferently: "Baizhu, listen to me, I will do what you are asked to do, I naturally have my reason for doing this, you can rest assured, I will definitely protect myself, even if it is not for me, for this Xu Wangfu, I will not put myself in danger." ”

"Miss, you're ......!" Xu Lan waved her hand, interrupted Baizhu's words, and said strongly: "Okay, don't you listen to your young lady?" Just go! ”

Seeing Xu Lan's cold and hard face, Baizhu couldn't help but sigh, anxious and helpless in her heart, she had always known that her young lady looked gentle and amiable, but in fact, she was the most stubborn in her bones, and she would not regret it once she decided.

In desperation, Baizhu could only admonish: "Then miss, you can be very careful, don't let people catch the handle!" ”

Xu Lan impatiently pushed him a few steps and said, "Okay, your young lady and I are naturally measured, you go quickly, don't let people find out the clues." ”

When Bai Shu heard this, he could only nod helplessly, and looked back at Xu Lan as he walked.

Amitabha, God bless, I must let her young lady retreat! Baizhu was really helpless, so he could only keep praying and praying in his heart.

Xu Lan didn't have much turmoil in her heart at the moment, she only knew that he must protect his family and not let his family be wronged in vain!

Thinking about it here, Xu Lan couldn't help but speed up her pace, Xu Lan had heard Princess Xu's teachings before, and the last time she came to the palace, Princess Xu had already told them that the palace couldn't score, where was this prince's palace, Xu Lan naturally knew.

Therefore, without the need for guidance, Xu Lan found the location of the prince's palace by herself.
