I put down the folds in my hand, and it was past the time for dinner.

Zhuang Chenchen glanced out the window and called Yin Li in. "It's already so late, and the queen has had dinner too, right?"

"If you go back to the master, the queen has already prepared dinner and is waiting for you to come over." Yin Li was a little disappointed that the people who came back to pass the word were either Ming and Qing Dynasties or Bingling, and Qingli couldn't see his face. But it's better not to see him, it's better than to meet her and indifferently can't see him as a person.

"Then let's set up the Fengling Palace." Zhuang Yanchen stretched his waist, only feeling a little tired.

"Yes." Yin Li was about to give the order to prepare his shoulder, when he saw Liang Bao coming over with a sad face.

"What's the matter?" He asked with a frown.

"The poor concubine Niangniang asked to see her outside the palace." Liang Bao lowered his voice and said, "This is the third time today. The first two times the minions sent her back, but this time ......"

"Come on, you go, I'll go and tell my master." Yin Li turned back to the study and said truthfully: "The emperor ordered that there is an important matter to deal with today, and no one will be seen." But Liang Bao just came to report, and the poor concubine came three times. Does the emperor want to see him at this time? ”

Zhuang Yanchen thought about it carefully, and it was true that he hadn't seen Cang Lian for a few days. It is also because he has not gone to Weiyang Palace in the past few days, and the previous dynasty was also peaceful. Because Concubine Ying gave birth to a prince, the eyes of the courtiers were fixed on this happy event, but they did not mention the innocent fall of the Buddha statue in the prayer hall.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help frowning and ordered Yin Li: "Change clothes." ”

"Yes." Of course, Yin Li could sense that the emperor was unwilling to see the concubine, so he didn't say anything.

Cang Lian waited outside the Qingxuan Hall for a long time, her legs were sore, and she didn't see Liang Bao talk back.

She was a little confused, whether the emperor was willing to see her or not. If you don't want to, just send it away, why hasn't there been any movement for a long time. But if you are willing to see it, what is the matter without letting people lead the way!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jingqiao beside him whisper: "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

Cang Lian's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Emperor Jin'an." The concubines waited here for a long time, just to say hello to the emperor in person. Concubine Ying gave birth to Lin'er for the emperor, and it was really an excellent joy for this dynasty to have the first prince. ”

"Excuse me." Zhuang Chenchen helped her weakly, frowned, and said: "These days, I haven't looked at you, I feel that you have lost some weight." Don't you want to eat? ”

Cang Lian stroked his face and said movingly: "The emperor can also understand the subtle things of the concubines at a glance, and the emperor really loves the concubines." ”

"Nature." Seeing that she was wearing thinly, Zhuang Chenchen untied his cloak and draped it on her. "At this time, the weather is still a little cold. You are weak, wear more clothes when you go out. ”

"Thank you for your care." Cang Lian took a step forward, and was about to turn around and go to the Qingxuan Hall with him in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Chenchen turned around and took two steps forward, and said, "I still have something to do, Yin Li, you send the concubine back to the palace." ”

Cang Lian Rao was stunned, and what he wanted to say to the emperor was not expressed, so he was sent away by the emperor? "The emperor is so late, is there anything else?"

"I'll see you another day." Zhuang Chenchen didn't answer her question and hurriedly left her sight.

Yin Li then said: "Please, pity the concubine, my subordinates will send you back to the palace." ”

"It's just two steps, and it's not that this palace doesn't know the road." Cang Lian didn't give him a good face, one was to be angry, and the other was to resentful Yin Li for not doing things for her.

"So...... The subordinate retired. Yin Li didn't want to be bored, since she said so, he couldn't ask for it.

"Stop." Cang Lian could feel Yin Li's thoughts, blocking his way. "Send this palace back to the palace."

"Why do you have to pity the concubine?" Yin Li frowned unhappily: "Don't you know the road!" ”

"It was the emperor who ordered you to send the palace back to the palace, do you want to resist the decree?" Cang Lian bit her lip, her face gloomy and terrifying.

"Concubine Niangniang, please." Yin Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he led the way and sent her back to Weiyang Palace.

When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Yin Li saluted her: "Niangniang rest early, and her subordinates will retire." ”

Cang Lian was caught off guard and pushed him.

Yin Li tripped over the threshold and fell directly into Weiyang Palace. "What are you doing?"

"When you enter the door of the main palace, it's not so easy to leave." Cang Lian frowned and instructed Jing Qiao: "Close the palace gate, this palace doesn't believe that Yin Li dares to go over the wall." ”

"If the concubine has anything to say, just say it. It doesn't have to be so much of a stretch. Yin Li glanced at her dissatisfied.

"Why is the emperor snubbing the palace these days?" Cang Lian was angry, and his nose was slightly sour: "Are those rumors just because of the Buddha statue?" The former emperor would never alienate the palace because of rumors. In the end, what kind of article did the queen do in it, and the emperor who could be confused turned a blind eye to the palace. You said! ”

"The concubine is too embarrassed." Yin Li sighed: "The subordinates are just completing various tasks for the master. As for the affairs of the harem, the subordinates don't understand, and secondly, they will never pass on the master's small words. If you really want to know, why don't you ask your master yourself. ”

"Nonsense." Cang Lian endured his anger: "I want to ask, the emperor doesn't even give me a chance to get along alone, how can I ask?" ”

"That's your business, your subordinates are humble, I'm afraid I can't help with this." Yin Li was still haunted by the previous incident, and naturally had no good attitude towards Cang Lian. "The subordinates retired."

"If you drive away, I will tell the emperor ......"

"Go and tell your master." Yin Li didn't want to put up with her anymore: "Actually, from the beginning, I should have taken the initiative to show my master, so that I wouldn't be caught by you and used by you." It's so troublesome that now Qingli thinks I have something to do with you, and I'm helping you frame the queen. I can't explain it with all my mouths, and it's not all your fault. You want to tell the master so much, wow, I will fulfill you, and when I see the master, I will take the initiative to tell the past and the plate. Don't try to use me again. ”

After saying that, he yelled at the minion at the door in an angry manner: "Open the palace door, otherwise don't blame me for calling Yu Linwei to crash." ”

The minions guarding the door were frightened, they all knew that Yin Li was the emperor's person, and no one dared to make a mistake, so they obediently opened the palace door.

"You ......" Cang was not lightly angry, but he didn't go on: "That's it, one is useless, and there is a second one." ”

Coming out of the Yang Palace, Yin Li rushed into the Fengling Hall as if he had stepped on the Hot Wheels under his feet.

The emperor and queen were having dinner, and he broke in in a daze, startling Bingling and Qingli.

"Yin Li?" Cen Mu Ning looked at him sweating profusely, and his face was angry, as if he was angry with something. It was also thought that someone in Fengling Hall was embarrassed for him. "What's wrong with you?"

"Master, the queen, there is an important matter for my subordinates, and I must tell you at this time, and I ask for forgiveness." Yin Li has also been tortured a lot these days, obviously not from his own heart, but he is regarded as a fellow party. Being snubbed by the person you like is really uncomfortable. The more he thought about it, the more his heart couldn't be calm, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"What?" Zhuang Chenchen also felt that he was a little strange.

"Previously, when Concubine Niangniang returned to the palace, the first person to find was her subordinates. She asked her subordinates to cover her stay in the palace, and her subordinates complied, so that she did a lot of things in the palace, and her subordinates knew about it, but they did not show the master, let alone the queen. Yin Li kowtowed to Zhuang Chen: "The subordinates deliberately concealed the master, and asked the master to give him the sin." But what his subordinates want to tell is...... The reason why her subordinates are willing to hide it for her. ”

Qing Li was angry when he heard this, and he didn't intend to interject, so he saluted the emperor and the queen, and walked out.

"Qingli, don't go." When she left, Yin Li was in a hurry, kneeling and chasing two steps, dragging the corners of her clothes. "What I'm going to say next, maybe I'll only say it once in my life, and I won't have the opportunity to say it a second time. I want you to know why, please listen to me. ”

Qingli was dragged by him like this, embarrassed, and wanted to get rid of him even more.

Bingling stepped forward and stopped: "Then you might as well listen to him, anyway, it's just two sentences." ”

Qingli didn't move.

Yin Li knelt down to Zhuang Chenchen again: "In fact, the subordinates are the same as the poor concubines, they are all people who were personally selected by the Queen Mother and managed to send them to the master's side." ”

"What did you say?" Qing Li was shocked by these words, and turned around to look at Yin Li in disbelief.

Not only that, but his subordinates also monitored his master's every move for the Queen Mother, and secretly sent news to the palace. This status lasted for three whole years, and then ...... When his subordinates were on a mission, they accidentally fell into the enemy's trap and almost died, and it was the master who took the risk to save his subordinates. It was also from that time that his subordinates regarded the master as their master, and never returned anything to the Queen Mother. Moreover, the people who the Queen Mother managed to send into the Ruiming Mansion were successively sent away by her subordinates for various reasons...... The subordinates just want to atone for their sins. This matter, except for the Queen Mother, only the concubine of mercy knows. She used these threats to her subordinates, who had followed her master for many years, and didn't want to leave her master because of her past mistakes, so she had to obey her orders. Now, the subordinates are no longer willing to be used by her, and would rather confess the truth themselves, only asking the master to follow him for many years, believing that his subordinates are loyal to you. Even if it is death, his subordinates do not want to bear the notoriety of being a traitor. After saying that, he fell to the ground and waited for Zhuang Chen's disposal.

Cen Muning was a little surprised by such a plot, she didn't expect that even Yin Li was also the queen mother's person. On the contrary, the people around him were very calm, and continued to eat the contents of the bowl, as if they did not smell.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground." Cen Mooning said this for Zhuang Chen.

Yin Li raised his head a little strangely, looked at the emperor, and then looked at the queen.

"If it weren't for the emperor's trust in you, you wouldn't be reused until now." Cen Mooning poured wine for Zhuang Chen, and said with a gentle smile: "The emperor must have known about these things for a long time. Is it? ”

Zhuang Chenchen took the wine bottle in her hand, raised her head and drank: "The one who knows me is none other than you." ”
