When Sui Yuanzhou heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart, although this person spoke rudely, he did not speak rudely. He's an interesting person, too.

Seeing Sui Yuanzhou smile, Bai Tingran was a little embarrassed, and stepped forward to introduce himself: "In Xia Bai Tingran, it belongs to the Xuanzi Yan Academy, and I just heard that Brother Tai is called Sui Yuanzhou?" ”

Sui Yuanzhou nodded, smiled slightly, and released a trace of kindness, and then said: "But Concubine Lan does have a high status in the palace, so I can not offend her, and try not to offend him." ”

Bai Tingran snorted coldly disdainfully: "Favored? What about Concubine Lan, she can't match one-tenth of my aunt's favor in her heyday. ”

When Sui Yuanzhou heard this, his eyes showed a little surprise: "Brother Bai, who is your aunt?" ”

A hint of pride flashed in Bai Tingran's eyes, "My aunt is Bai Li." ”

Sui Yuanzhou was stunned, the white pear is indeed a legend.

It is said that the emperor fell in love with the white pear at first sight, originally the white pear was a show girl into the palace, in the case of no children and no daughter, the emperor actually made an exception and directly named the white pear as the head of the four concubines, except for the fifteenth day of the first month of the month in accordance with the custom to stay in the queen's palace, the rest of the time all the time without exception lived in the palace of the white pear, but also wrote countless love poems and love letters for the white pear.

Bai Pear was favored in the harem, it was known to everyone, and its family was also prosperous, and the Bai family, who was originally unknown, became a relative of the emperor, and since then has made a lot of money in the salt and iron, silk fabrics and other industries.

However, the good times did not last long, and Bai Li died suddenly after being favored for less than two years, and there were even rumors that the death of the emperor was also because he missed Bai Li too much.

Bai Tingran continued: "Today's Concubine Lan is just relying on a little trick to temporarily seize the emperor, and Concubine Qiong is just relying on Concubine Lan to survive, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As if sensing something, Bai Tingran's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, and said, "It's me who lost my temper for a while, I said that these Sui brothers are very boring to listen to." ”

Sui Yuanzhou smiled: "Where to speak, Brother Bai is quick to talk." ”

Bai Tingran waved his hand: "Don't be so outward, just call me Tingran." ”

Sui Yuanzhou also smiled happily: "Okay, Tingran, call me Yuanzhou." Although Sui Yuanzhou was smiling, his smile was out of sight, Bai Tingran's words today always made him feel strange for some reason, Bai Li had been dead for more than ten years, the power of the Bai family had declined, and now there was no one in the harem, but Bai Tingran actually knew the situation in the palace well, and talked eloquently, and seemed to be very clear about the situation in the palace, and he faintly felt that Bai Tingran seemed to have deliberately revealed this to him.

"The courtyard will be locked and closed soon, I'll go first." Bai Tingran waved goodbye to Sui Yuanzhou, but his smile seemed to mean something.

Sui Yuanzhou walked towards the Diziyan Courtyard while thinking about Bai Tingran's affairs today.

After thinking about it for a whole day, Sui Yuanzhou still decided to inform Kou Shu about it.

"White pear?" Kou Shu frowned, as if she had faintly heard the name: "How difficult it is for the Bai family to fall." ”

Sui Yuanzhou sat aside and said: "I think that the Bai family is declining, but after all, it was once prosperous, and the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, maybe everyone underestimated the Bai family." ”

nodded, listening to Sui Yuanzhou's words, he saw the situation very clearly. If the Bai family really still has such strength, this matter is worth deepening.

Come to ripples, Kou Shu lowered her voice and commanded a few words.

Ripple grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he knew all kinds of people, and within a few days, Ripple inquired that several palace maids who used to serve the Bai family were now scattered in various palaces and became stewards, and even one of them was now in the Lan Concubine Palace, and these people seemed to be secretly in contact with each other. Layers of connections, and in the end, everyone's connections point to the same person.

After listening to Ripple's words, Kou Shu's face couldn't help but show a trace of surprise - he didn't expect Bai Li to set up an intelligence network in the palace. This intelligence network must be well-laid out and strictly hierarchical, so much so that it is unbelievable that Bai Li has been dead for so long and is still running as usual.

Originally, the Yanyuan was able to pay five days of speech every ten days, but Sui Yuanzhou did not pull it every day, and went to the Yanyuan on time every day, discussing the past and the present with everyone, and learning from others' strengths.

At sunset, Sui Yuanzhou's mind was full of today's topics, and his mind was so dizzy that he didn't even hear Bai Tingran call himself.

"Brother Yuanzhou, please stay—" Bai Tingran hurried to catch up.

When Sui Yuanzhou saw Bai Tingran, he remembered Kou Shu's remarks that day, and couldn't help but be a little sneering: "Tingran, why are you here?" ”

"It just so happens that I'm also out of school, let's go together." Bai Tingran said loudly.

Sui Yuanzhou knew that the two of them were not on the way, and they did not break it, and they talked to Bai Tingran about today's Yanyuan with Bai Tingran along the way, but they were also like-minded and impassioned.

The discussion was almost over, and seeing that Sui Yuanzhou was about to arrive home, Bai Tingran suddenly put away his joking look, and said, "Brother Sui must also know about my Bai family's situation in the palace, right?" ”

Sui Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Bai Tingran to say it so bluntly, and he was a little at a loss.

"My aunt's death has always been a taboo in our Bai family." Bai Tingran lowered his head, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, "My aunt favored the harem back then, but she suddenly died, and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of Yueyu, but there was no news at all. This incident is a huge blow to our Bai family. ”

Sui Yuanzhou nodded, he had indeed heard of this matter.

"My aunt's death is a thorn in the hearts of the whole clan. If this matter cannot be clarified, the haze that shrouds the Bai family will never be able to disperse. Bai Tingran was gloomy, "I worked hard and tried my best to reorganize my aunt's intelligence network in the palace back then, but what I collected was the minutiae of the current emperor, and I couldn't find the slightest clue about the truth of the matter back then." ”

Sui Yuanzhou was silent, the matter has been so long, it has long been a matter of fact, and it is indeed even more difficult to verify it: "So you deliberately revealed it to me, so that I know that you know the situation in the palace very well, arouse my suspicions, and attract the attention of the queen mother?" ”

Bai Tingran's face turned red, he had always acted uprightly, and this time he was forced to be helpless, so he could only make this decision. As the next generation of the head of the Bai family, he is burdened with the fate of the prosperity of the family, and in order to find out the cause of his aunt's death, he has been working hard for a long time. That day, I accidentally learned that Sui Yuanzhou was the queen mother behind her, and after thinking about it, I thought of such a method.

Sui Yuanzhou's face remained unchanged, but his tone was a little cold: "So, what do you want?" ”

"The queen's situation in the palace is not optimistic. There is Concubine Lan and Concubine Qiong in the front, and there is the Queen Mother in the back, and the enemy is on the back of the abdomen, if there is an intelligence network of my Bai family, you can turn the defense into an attack and reverse the situation. ”

A dark light flashed in Sui Yuanzhou's eyes: "What about the conditions?" ”

"Help me figure out the cause of my aunt's death."
