Just as Ning Yunxiao was hanging her head in annoyance, Li Yiyan suddenly held her hand: "Also, you just said that Concubine Rong stole the concubine's daughter because her child was gone?" ”

"Hmm." That's what Ning Yunxiao said just now. So when Li Yiyan's voice fell, Ning Yunxiao nodded affirmatively without thinking about it.

"As far as I know, not long after the concubine entered the palace, there was news that Concubine Rong was happy." Seeing Ning Yunxiao nodded, Li Yiyan continued, "Could it be that the mother concubine was already pregnant when she entered the palace, and I also have a royal sister with the same father and mother?" ”

"But why don't I know about it?" Li Yiyan was trapped in his own thoughts, speculating and muttering to himself.

He just casually said what he was thinking, and he didn't think about it more deeply.

But Ning Yunxiao, who had been listening to him muttering in his arms, followed his words and thought more deeply.

If this matter found out by Changli is correct, then Bai Jinglian is Rong Concubine's son. Moreover, according to clues, Rong Concubine's son disappeared shortly after he was born.

And because Concubine Rong's son disappeared inexplicably, Concubine Rong stole Concubine Hua's daughter.

In other words, Concubine Hua's daughter and Concubine Rong's son were born in the same year, and the difference between the two was only a few months.

But Li Yiyan said again that Concubine Rong's son was a few years older than him. If Concubine Hua has a daughter who was born in the same year as Concubine Rong's son, it also proves that Li Yiyan also has an imperial sister.

But what is strange is that Li Yiyan didn't know that he had such an imperial sister, and there was no record about this princess in the annals of the palace.

Both of them seemed to have thought of this matter, and when Li Yiyan lowered his head to look at Ning Yunxiao, the latter also happened to look up at the former, so their eyes met, and they both guessed each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

When this matter is investigated, it seems that there is something strange, and many suspicious points appear out of thin air.

"Let Changli start the investigation from the mother concubine." "I think we should start with the emperor's mother."

The two spoke in unison, then looked at each other and smiled, and they both thought together.

Ning Yunxiao broke free from Li Yiyan's arms, stood up and glanced at the folds on the table that were stacked higher than a mountain, and said to Li Yiyan: "In this case, the concubine will not disturb the emperor's official business." ”

It wasn't until Li Yiyan bowed his head slightly that Ning Yunxiao was blessed and left the imperial study with a light lotus step.

When Ning Yunxiao's figure disappeared outside the door of the imperial study, Li Yiyan retracted his gaze and moved his gaze to the mountains of folds in front of him.

In fact, he didn't want Ning Yunxiao to leave so soon, he also wanted to stay with her for a while.

But about Bai Jinglian's life experience, Li Yiyan is also very curious, and he also wants to know the reason for this as soon as possible. He didn't know anything about what had happened in his childhood, but he felt that it was not as simple as he thought.

Li Yiyan sighed, pulled his thoughts back, and returned his attention to the recital in front of him.

Besides, on Ning Yunxiao's side, although she left the imperial study, she was still thinking about the relationship between Concubine Rong and Concubine Hua, as well as the relationship between their children.

The hot summer has passed, and autumn has begun in the blink of an eye.

Although the temperature does not decrease at all, the occasional gust of wind still makes it feel very cool.

The trees in the yard are already some years old, and they are not only tall and strong, but also have flourishing branches and leaves.

So when the wind blows, the leaves on those trees rustle.

Ning Yunxiao, who was taking small steps, suddenly stopped, and it happened to be under the shade of the intersection of the two trees.

In the imperial study, that fleeting thought crept back into her mind, and she finally remembered what she seemed to have overlooked.

Thinking of this, Ning Yunxiao turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the imperial study that he had just left.

"Your Majesty." Before she could reach the door of the study, she shouted.

Hearing Ning Yunxiao's voice, Li Yiyan had just shifted his gaze to the closed door of the imperial study, waiting for the door to be pushed open from the outside.

After a while, the door opened, Ning Yunxiao stepped forward with one foot first, and then the whole person appeared in Li Yiyan's sight.

"What?" Li Yiyan's face was full of pampering, and there was no anger on his face when his train of thought was interrupted.

After Ning Yunxiao closed the door with his backhand, he walked towards the place where Li Yiyan was, and said, "The concubine suddenly remembered something. ”

"The emperor said before that Concubine Rong's son is a few years older than the emperor, but it is recorded in the annals that Concubine Rong's child has been missing for only twenty-two years, and Bai Jinglian is only twenty-two years old today."

The point is that Li Yiyan is twenty-four years old this year, so they are completely incompatible in terms of age in the first place.

"Could the emperor be mistaken?" Although Ning Yunxiao said this in her mouth, she subconsciously didn't believe it.

Just listening to Li Yiyan's inference, Ning Yunxiao followed Li Yiyan's train of thought, forgetting for a moment that their ages did not match at all.

When Li Yiyan heard Ning Yunxiao ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then wrinkled his eyebrows tightly.

When Ning Yunxiao first came, he only said that he found out that Bai Jinglian was the prince who died early when Concubine Rong was born, and Li Yiyan forgot to compare their ages.

"I clearly remember that Concubine Rong entered the palace a few years earlier than my mother. And not long after my mother entered the palace, the news came that Concubine Rong was happy. ”

"It won't be wrong, I remember that it was the imperial brother who died young, not the imperial brother." After recalling the memories from childhood to adulthood, Li Yiyan said affirmatively.

According to what Li Yiyan said, this matter became even more strange, if it wasn't for the fact that the prince's birthday who died early was changed, or this matter was not true from beginning to end.

It seems that this matter will not be able to be thoroughly investigated.

Ning Yunxiao thought secretly in his heart, and after coming back to his senses, he subconsciously glanced at Li Yiyan, only to see that he was still immersed in his thoughts.

"Alright! Your Majesty, don't think about it, this matter, the concubines will let Changli investigate it well, you should deal with these twists and turns with peace of mind! Ning Yunxiao bowed and reached out to smooth the wrinkles between Li Yiyan's eyebrows, giving him a reassuring smile.

Hearing this, Li Yiyan came back to his senses, looked at Ning Yunxiao's gaze, and nodded clearly: "Don't be tired of yourself, the queen remembers." ”

"This should be what the concubine wants to say to the emperor!" Ning Yunxiao smiled when he heard this.

Li Yiyan was about to speak, when Sui Qing's voice came in from outside the imperial study: "Your Majesty, Taiwei Xu has arrived." ”

"Come in." As Li Yiyan's words fell, Sui Qing pushed open the door of the imperial study, and then, a thin middle-aged man came in.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, he glanced at Ning Yunxiao, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Weichen has seen the emperor, the queen's mother." ”

These small movements naturally couldn't escape Ning Yunxiao's eyes, she raised her eyebrows, took back the glance that glanced at the other party, turned around to look at Li Yiyan, blessed her body slightly, and said with a smile: "Since the emperor still has important matters to deal with, the concubine will retire first." ”

Since he said that he would not interfere in the affairs of the court, there was no reason for Ning Yunxiao to continue to stay in the imperial study and listen to the conversation between Li Yiyan and Xu Taiwei. What's more, Ning Yunxiao is also a person who can read people's eyes, and she can see that Xu Taiwei doesn't like to see her appear in the imperial study.

"Well, I'm waiting for news from the Empress." Li Yiyan said.

Ning Yunxiao nodded, and it was an answer. As soon as she turned around, her gaze happened to meet that of Taiwei Xu, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and walked towards the door of the imperial study.

When she left, she closed the door of the imperial study.

Out of the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, Ning Yunxiao called out to the void, "Long Leave".

Then, Changli appeared in front of Ning Yunxiao out of thin air: "What does the master command?" ”

"Thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the little prince born to Concubine Rong back then, and whether Concubine Hua gave birth to a little princess." After finishing speaking, he only heard Changli respond lightly, and then disappeared in place as he came. It's like he never showed up from beginning to end, and Ning Yunxiao didn't say anything.

After Changli left, Ning Yunxiao continued to walk towards his dormitory.

Before he reached the door of his dormitory, Ning Yunxiao saw Li Nuo walking in his direction from the opposite place.

Before Ning Yunxiao could call her, she seemed to feel that someone was watching her, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Ning Yunxiao coming on, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "Niangniang." ”

"Look at your hurry, where did this come from?" Ning Yunxiao looked at Li Nuo fixedly, his eyes narrowed invisibly.

However, at this time, Li Nuo was full of panic, and he had no time to take care of Ning Yunxiao's expression.

She quickly thought about how she should answer in her heart, and suddenly remembered that Ning Yunxiao said that she wanted to drink lotus seed soup before leaving the dormitory, so she replied: "I just went to the imperial dining room to tell the imperial chef to make lotus seed soup for Niangniang, and I estimated that Niangniang would be able to drink it after going back to the dormitory to rest for a while." ”

"Hmm." Ning Yunxiao could see that Li Nuo was obviously lying, but she was not in a hurry to demolish her, and after answering lightly, she went to the door of her bedroom by herself.

Li Nuo didn't see Ning Yunxiao's somewhat abnormal look, she thought that Ning Yunxiao had been fooled by herself, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after Ning Yunxiao's figure had disappeared in front of her, Li Nuo took several deep breaths in a row, collected her emotions and followed into the dormitory.

"Niangniang is in a bad mood today?" Li Nuo knew that Ning Yunxiao had just returned from the Qinzheng Palace, but he didn't know that she had already doubted herself, so he asked with a smile on his face.

Because she already had a dislike for Li Nuo in her heart, Ning Yunxiao didn't want to be like usual, and told her everything in her heart.

So she just nodded her head, answered lightly, and then stopped talking.

"The emperor has been busy these days, and it is understandable that he has no time to take care of the queen, and the queen does not have to ......" Li Nuo thought that Ning Yunxiao was angry because Li Yiyan had rarely paid attention to her recently, so Li Nuo comforted himself righteously.
