The leaders of Yulinwei and the others were anxious, and they didn't know what the emperor's attitude was. I was afraid that I would offend the queen and fail to do my errand.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived—"

The inner eunuch outside raised his voice to spread such a sentence.

When Cang Lian heard the word "emperor", she was very uncomfortable. Originally, it was Zhuang Chenchen's will, but he was only willing to call himself a concubine. And all this is not because she is not doing well. It's that the woman's methods in it are too clever.

"The concubine has said goodbye to the queen." Cang Lian walked up to her and saluted slightly: "Niangniang is really in any situation, she is not willing to give up." Do you have to die and think you can really escape this catastrophe? ”

Cen Muning slowly raised her head, her eyes touching her: "What dying struggle?" Didn't you tell this palace to keep your life and watch you take your place? The mother of this palace was killed by your plot and the hand of the queen mother. This account hasn't been settled yet, and this palace itself doesn't want to go ahead of you. Poor concubine, concubine, imperial concubine, you are really only one step away from the back position now, why don't you sell some strength. ”

"A queen is a queen." Cang Lian covered her heart: "I always poke at other people's sore spots." But it's not a big deal. Over the years, you have controlled the harem and the emperor, so it's no wonder that you have such a ability. Today, hopefully, these things can be settled. The emperor is still waiting for Niangniang in Qingxuan Palace, let's go. ”

Cen Mu Ning got up and smiled peacefully: "It's okay." ”

Cang Lian is actually angry, she always feels that the emperor's indifference to her is all due to the queen's provocation. What kind of ability does this woman have to make the emperor be honest. has reached such a situation, but it still hasn't given her a dead end......

"Queen, where are you going?" Ice Ling suddenly popped up, startling everyone present.

The leader of the Feather Forest Guard even drew his saber. "Where did you come from?"

"Where did something come from?" Bingling looked at her suspiciously. "The slave and maid are not happy, the queen is gracious, and the slave and maid are allowed to rest. It's just that I hid in the woodstack and slept for a while, why is there a mess in this palace......"

"Stacks of wood?" The leader of Yu Linwei glared at the people searching the palace angrily: "Didn't you go to search the firewood room in the lower courtyard?" ”

"Naturally, it was searched." Someone hurriedly argued: "The entire Fengling Hall has been searched and understood, and nothing has been missed." ”

Cen Muning didn't say anything, but just removed a few straws from Bingling's hair: "Next time, remember to go back to your own room to rest, lest people don't see it, and what kind of conspiracy do we have between the master and servant." ”

Although Cang Lian didn't say anything, she didn't believe the queen's words at all. Bingling must be out of the palace, and he is definitely not in the Fengling Palace. So where did she go and what exactly did she do? I don't know if I listened to Concubine Gong's words first, but she always remembered that Wen Ying's incident was related to the queen. Without thinking about it, she took off a string of beads from her wrist and threw it on the ground before anyone knew it.

"Okay, let's go to Qingxuan Palace." Cen Muning walked in front of the people with Bingling's hand: "The emperor has summoned, there must be something important." ”

"Yes." Bingling helped the queen forward as before, with a graceful gait, and there was no hint of haste or nervousness.

The leader struck the shoulders of several guards with the back of his sword: "Next time, polish your eyes, and if there is any trouble, you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

He reprimanded them on his lips, but he was still beating the drum in his own heart. Is it true that a big living person who hides and sleeps in the woodstack of the firewood room will not be noticed? Or is this person not in the Fengling Hall at all, but just returned? Then how did she manage not to alarm people and freely enter and exit a cold palace besieged by Yu Linwei?

Thinking of this, the leader still decided that it was not good for his subordinates to bite him to death, and he didn't search for this reason. If the emperor knows that under their noses, there are people who can come and go freely, I am afraid that their lives will not be saved.

Just stepped out of the Fengling Palace, and everyone's faces were solemn.

Cang Lian suddenly stopped, with an anxious look: "Someone is coming, the beads in this palace are missing, and they are given by the emperor." ”

"The imperial concubine is not in a hurry, when did you disappear?" The leader of Yu Linwei hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"If you know when you won't see it, will you still see it?" Cang Lian glanced at him dissatisfied, frowned, and said: "Maybe it was just lost, hurry up and find it for this palace along the way from Weiyang Palace to Qingxuan Palace." ”

"The imperial concubine is looking for it slowly." Cen Mu pursed her lips and said: "Inevitably, the emperor has waited for a long time, and this palace will not accompany him." ”

"This ......" Yu Linwei hurriedly said: "The subordinates escorted the queen mother to the Qingxuan Hall to face the saint, and they will leave some people to help the concubine find the beads." ”

"No need." Cang Pian said disdainfully: "There are people in this palace, you can do your own errands." ”

She didn't salute the queen, twisted her body and walked away.

Bingling snorted lightly: "I haven't been canonized yet, so I put such a big score." I really think of myself as the master of this deep palace. ”

"Be careful with what you say and do." Cen Muning just said these four words gently, and then continued to go to Qingxuan Palace.

In the hall, Zhuang Chenchen ordered some contemplative spices, but he felt that he was depressed at this time.

Cen Xiang's father and son have been standing in the hall, silent, only feeling that their legs are numb.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

Liang Bao's voice sounded at such a time, undoubtedly giving everyone a god.

Everyone kept looking at Cen Muning who walked in from the outside, with different expressions.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." She walked straight to the center of the hall, stopped in a suitable place, and saluted properly.

Although the clothes on her body are not particularly flashy, and the accessories are very simple, the innate dignity makes her look graceful and luxurious, and she is different.

"The Queen." Cen Yun and Cen Mufeng saluted her at this time.

"Didn't you say that Bingling next to the queen was not in the Fengling Palace?" Zhuang Chenchen asked with a condensed gaze.

There was no one in the hall who said a word, and he realized that Cang Lian had not come back with him. "Where's the concubine?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the imperial concubine Niangniang lost the bead string, saying that it was given by the emperor, and she is sending people to look for it with great fanfare." Bingling saluted him before replying.

"No matter how important it is." Zhuang Chenchen was particularly displeased, and then asked Bingling again: "Search Fengling Palace, why can't you see your trace?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave and maid are unwell, and the queen mother allows the slave and maid to rest for a while. How did I know that the slave and maid were sleeping in the woodstack when they were tidying up the firewood room. Yu Linwei never found it, so he lied that the slave was not in the palace, causing a misunderstanding. Bingling said respectfully: "The queen mother is the master of the slave maid, where the maid is, the slave and maid are naturally there, and she will never leave the maid alone at such a time." ”

"That's fine." Zhuang Chenchen waved his hand and motioned for her to step aside.

Bingling understood, but just stepped aside. Before the man could stand firm, he saw Cang Pian walking into the temple.

"Your Majesty." Cang Lian walked quickly to the palace, and then also saluted the queen: "The concubine just lost the bead string and turned back to the Fengling Hall to look for it, but I didn't expect to find such a thing." Please also ask the emperor to take a look. ”

She held it in her hand, and it must have been something of great importance.

Zhuang Chenchen bowed slightly, acquiescing to her side.

"It's so unfortunate. Bingling girl said that she fell asleep in the firewood room, but she was not noticed by Yu Linwei. The smile on Cang Lian's face was unusually cold, and her tone was also cold and intriguing: "Let the concubine find these in the ashes that have not yet been burned." ”

He took out a broken linen cloth from his sleeve, which looked like a rag for wiping things in the firewood room, and it was a little dirty.

Zhuang Yanchen frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Fengling Hall is his wife's dormitory, it is the queen's dormitory, and there will be such a burial coarse cloth as a rag, which shows that these days, no one is waiting by her side, and it is extremely difficult.

"What is this?" Zhuang Yanchen looked at the ashes inside and some unburned paper, and couldn't help frowning.

"These are the evidence of the conspiracy between the queen mother and the Cen Xiangfu and the collusion with the borderlands. It's just a pity that most of them have been burned, and only these remain. Cang Lian smiled slightly: "The words on the border are different from ours, if you don't study them carefully, you really can't understand them." But Cen Xiang has been the minister of state for many years, and he has carefully cultivated his daughter, presumably for the queen, it is nothing at all, right? ”

Bingling sneered, and couldn't care about so many rules: "Your Majesty, please allow the slave maid to ask the imperial concubine a question." Didn't the imperial concubine say that she lost the beads? It's okay to find the string of beads, but you have never been to the firewood room of the Fengling Palace, just because the slave maid slept there, it actually gave you a good opportunity to frame the queen's mother! There has never been a border letterhead in our palace, Yu Linwei searched the entire palace, and there were no clues, why did you find out this thing as soon as you went? Didn't these things be hidden in your sleeve from the beginning? ”

"In front of the emperor, how can you be a slave with many mouths." Cang Lian couldn't help but get angry, but he didn't say much. "Your Majesty, although Yu Linwei is careful, he can't stand someone deliberately hiding the truth. Not a single living person could be found, let alone just a pile of ashes. The concubine was afraid of what happened, so she looked for it. What's more, Cen Xiang's father and son are in the palace, whether they colluded with the queen mother to commit treason, the emperor asked on the spot. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged." Cen Yun frowned and took a step forward, his face tense. The minister still said that he had never colluded with the border, let alone had anything to do with Zhongnan. Even if there is, it will never collude with the queen, please ask the emperor to be clear. ”

"What Cen Xiang said seems to be particularly partial to the queen's mother." Cang Lian pursed her lips and smiled: "It's all this time, do you still think you can get it clear?" Your Majesty, everything in the palace must be evidence-based. This time, the concubines couldn't judge whether Cen Xiang's father and son were in collusion with the queen's mother. But I don't think the queen will be able to come up with evidence to prove that their father and daughter are really so innocent, right? ”
