Soon after the afternoon, the Six Princes' Mansion sent someone to pick up Bai Jinyao, saying that the side concubine Niangniang invited her to come to the mansion to get together.

The injury that Nuan Yue was punished last time was almost healed, and when she came back to serve, she was amazed when she heard the news: "When did the second young lady get along with the side concubine of the Six Princes' Mansion?" ”

Bai Jing laughed lightly, "My father is an important minister in the court, and the six kings can't always run to the mansion to avoid suspicion, so the female dependents will come forward and block the mouth outside." ”

Her meaning was too straightforward, Nuan Yue was slightly embarrassed, and only said after a while: "The second lady and the six kings have met very often, if you really become the princess, I am afraid that she will deal with you even more in the future." ”

"What's the panic, not to mention that her path is not easy to walk. Even if she becomes the sixth princess, can she first use the lives of her maiden sisters to establish the majesty of her princess? ”

Bai Jinghao's face was full of indifference, and he didn't plan to bother more with Bai Jinyao, so he continued to practice calligraphy, using that Fang Nanyu paperweight.

After a while, she casually raised her head and asked: "Nuan Yue, you used to be an errand in the old lady's courtyard, and you are well-informed, have you heard of the Su Nan Palace?" ”

"One of the four feudal kings, the slave has naturally heard of it."

Bai Jinghao put down the pen, got up from the desk, sat by the window with her, and said with a smile: "I'm just bored, you can talk to me." ”

Nuan Yue didn't think much about it, and said slowly: "I know that except for the princes and nobles in the capital, these four feudal kings are the most noble, and even those princes and counts in the capital can't compare."

The four princes each guard one side, and they all marry the royal family. The elder sister of the King of the East China Sea is the current Blue Queen, the sister of the King of Yunxi is the concubine Yun Shu, the old concubine of the Sunan Royal Mansion is the eldest princess of Jiamin who is the same mother as His Majesty, and the princess of the Mubei Royal Mansion is the youngest eldest princess of Jiahe of the first emperor. ”

Bai Jing understood this kind of marriage with the nature of entrapment and containment, nodded and asked, "I heard that these four major feudal lands are not peaceful?" ”

"It's not all, there was indeed turmoil over there more than ten years ago, and I heard that the deputy general rebelled and wanted to overthrow the old king of Nan and stand on his own, and the king of Lao Su Nan died in that turmoil.

Later, the imperial court sent people to annihilate the rebellious party, and named the son of the eldest princess Jiamin as the new king, and also sent several important ministers to assist the southern king of Shinjuku. ”

Speaking of these things, Nuan Yue looked a little embarrassed, "Those border places are not as peaceful as the capital." In the past, it was the palace of the king of Sunan, and recently I heard that the west was not peaceful, and the king of Yunxi was reprimanded by the saint many times because of the involvement of the former concubine Niangniang, and the prince of Yunxi was in the capital all the year round, and the second prince of Yun seemed to have the heart to seize the throne. ”

Bai Jing was amazed, "How do you know?" ”

Nuan Yue replied in a low voice: "Miss, don't you know, the prince of Yunxi is a famous gentleman in Beijing, and last year His Majesty wanted to choose a concubine for him, but no one in the court was willing to marry his daughter or sister to him, and they all felt that the Yunxi palace existed in name only, and the power of the western realm was no longer in the hands of the father of the prince of Yunxi." ”

Bai Jinghao was trapped in the small courtyard before, and he really didn't know much about the current affairs outside, but he was still curious: "Don't the imperial court care?" ”

This can stop Nuan Yue, scratching her head and puzzled: "The slave doesn't know either." ”

Bai Jinghao fell into deep thought, she knew that the king of the East China Sea had no son, and her only daughter, the county lord Lan Lan, was brought to the palace by the queen to raise her since she was a child, and she thought that after a hundred years of the king of the East China Sea, the East China Sea would be taken over by the people of the imperial court.

Perhaps, the imperial court deliberately allowed the border palace to seize power and civil strife, weakened its strength in a justifiable manner, and then sent someone to take over.

It was rare for her to care about national affairs, and only after she understood a few words, the lord of Qinglong County came in a hurry.

Seeing that her complexion was different, Bai Jing's heart tightened, sent the maidservant out, and asked in a low voice, "But something happened in the palace?" ”

"You really didn't kill those two grandmothers last night?"

Bai Jinghao hurriedly shook his head, "Could it be that they are dead?" ”

"Yes, the death was so loud that it alarmed everyone in the palace."

Wei Li frowned and said solemnly: "There is news in the palace that the corpses of two East Palace grandmothers were fished out in the carp pond near the imperial concubine's bedroom, and a wooden doll was also found in her arms, which was engraved with my grandmother's birthday, and now my mother has entered the palace." ”

The people in the East Palace used Gu magic to harm the queen's mother, and the place where the body was found was so close to the dormitory of Emperor Du's concubine......

Bai Jing suppressed her emotions and asked with a bit of luck: "Those two grandmothers, are they the ones who killed me last night?" ”

"Originally, I didn't connect with it, but the East Palace lacked this one and two grandmothers, and there was no one else. And you said that the grandmothers on the side of the Qionghuatai trail did not appear, so I hurried to find you. ”

After Wei Li finished speaking, he hurriedly took a sip of tea, and continued: "I was still wondering, my grandmother has always been healthy, why did she suddenly become ill and delirious, but I didn't expect that she was caught in such an evil way.

Now Long Yan is furious, I want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I am afraid that I will find out that what happened last night implicates you. Sister Jinghao, think about it, who else knew that those two grandmothers were thrown into the bushes at that time besides you? ”

Who else?

Bai Jing's face was so white, the fingers resting on a few sides trembled slightly, and the Nine Kings Liu Jue!

I felt that he was not simple, but I didn't expect to do this, and the scene where he asked himself if he needed help with the aftermath came to his mind, and he was even more scared.

She still remembered the murderous intent when Liu Jue did not hesitate to cinch her neck when she revealed his identity. If he talks nonsense again this time, won't he kill people again?

Wei Li observed the other party's face, leaned closer and asked, "Did you remember something?" ”

Bai Jinghao shook his head, "No." I'm just curious, who is going to do this? ”

"The wooden doll was found on the people in the East Palace, and of course the crown princess can't get rid of it. But although the queen and her had a dispute over the choice of the princess, there was no reason to harm the queen in the East Palace, with the queen here, the East Palace could have one more East China Sea palace to rely on. ”

Although Wei Li is young, he has a thorough analysis of the benefits and disadvantages of these things.

Bai Jinghao nodded and took over: "The queen is terminally ill, and the affairs of the palace are handed over to Emperor Du's concubine. ”

"Although it is the imperial concubine who benefits like this, she is already deeply favored, and the sixth uncle is wise and famous in the court, she can't afford to gamble with the future of herself and the sixth uncle, you must know that this crime of murdering the queen is enough for them and the entire prime minister's mansion to be doomed."

Indeed, the imperial concubine has been equal to Queen Lan for so many years, and decades have passed, so why bother her now?

Bai Jinghao suddenly asked: "Then who is investigating this matter now?" ”

"It's strange to say, this matter was handed over to the prince of Yunxi to investigate."

Wei Li's face was negative, "The matter involves the East Palace and the Six Princes' Mansion, and there are too many people who need to avoid suspicion, and my imperial grandfather actually handed over the matter to the idle Yun Mu." As far as his virtue is concerned, archery and pitching are okay, where will the case be investigated? ”

The prince of Yunxi Palace, that is the cousin of the Nine Kings.

Bai Jinghao closed her eyes, saw the look of the girl in front of her who was worried about herself, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much about me, the affairs in this palace, whether it is the queen or the imperial concubine, have nothing to do with me."

Even if it is found out that those two grandmothers have seen me before their deaths, at most they will ask me routinely, and they can't plant such a felony on me for no reason, right? ”

"You're still laughing?"

Wei Li reminded in a heavy voice: "You are the one time you enter the palace, and you can't be involved." But your mother-in-law, she often goes to the palace to see the crown princess!

Everyone knows that the crown princess used to like the second lady of your family to be the princess, but the queen mother persuaded the emperor to marry the daughter of the general's mansion for His Royal Highness the grandson, doesn't your mother-in-law resent the queen? Those two grandmothers, maybe they have received some benefits from her before! ”

Bai Jinghao was woken up by her words, and she was also shocked.
