"How is this possible?!" Qiu Yulan was furious, "Nineteen pairs of palaces are more familiar than me, how could they break into the place where the princess lives?!" ”

Jiang Tan smiled bitterly and said: "The little one also thinks so, but the palace people who are serving Her Royal Highness Princess Lexin all say so, and they also present the sachet that is said to have fallen in the princess's bedroom, so the Empress Dowager Gu got the handle......"

Qiu Yulan interrupted him suspiciously: "Haven't you been following him all the time?" How could you think that? "You should know very well that Nineteen didn't go to Princess Lexin's dormitory, okay?!

“…… The queen mother wants to talk secretly with her son, and the little one waits outside the palace. Jiang Tan looked helpless, "Then not long after the son came out, he was about to leave the palace, but he was stopped by the queen mother's people and asked the son to go to the queen mother to talk." "I'm afraid that she will be worried, so I hurriedly said, "The queen mother has already rushed to the news in person, and the queen mother doesn't dare to do anything to the son!" ”

"Did grandmother tell me?" Qiu Yulan was silent for a moment and asked.

Jiang Tan said cautiously: "The little one has already been there, the old lady asked the little one to tell you, tell you not to worry, the prince will never have any thoughts about the princess, it must be the queen mother's side who designed to frame her." With the queen mother here, she will definitely return the innocence of the son! ”

Is this not going to ask her to enter the palace? Or maybe you didn't plan to take her into the palace?

Qiu Yulan thought for a while, and said lightly: "That grandmother now?" ”

"I didn't enter the palace either." Jiang Tan immediately said, "The old lady said that this matter is waiting for the news of the queen's mother." The old lady also said that such a private matter should not be known to everyone. ”

“…… You go down first. Qiu Yulan frowned and ordered.

After entering the house, Su He and the others saw her preoccupied appearance, glanced at each other, and came up together to comfort: "Why should the young lady worry? What kind of character is our son, who doesn't know? I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness the princess coveted our son's demeanor, picked up the son's sachet and deliberately planted it, in a vain attempt to descend! ”

"This is simply wishful thinking, the son hurts more and the lady less, let's all see it in our eyes!"

"That's it! The young lady waits and sees, the queen has always loved the son and you, this time it is strange not to die so shamelessly! ”

Although they were kind-hearted, they made Qiu Yulan more and more impetuous, so they waved their hands and said, "Let's all go down!" ”

"Why don't you get out soon?" Mother Zhou, who happened to come in, put a mint dew in front of Qiu Yulan, made a look, and asked the worried maids to retreat, and then whispered, "Are you worried, Gongzi really went to the princess's bedroom?" ”

"It's not that I'm worried, I just don't feel like I understand." Although Zhou's mother is not like Su He and the others who follow Qiu Yulan all day long, Princess Ruan's identity as a nurse is enough to make Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Yulan dare not slack off, which will make her drive away the others and stay by herself, Qiu Yulan is not good for her to retreat together, so she had to say a few words to her, "Whether it is the imperial city or the palace, Nineteen is very familiar." He is also vigilant, and there is still a queen mother in the palace to take care of, mother, how can you be caught trespassing into the princess's bedroom? ”

Mother Zhou said: "The old slave thinks that the son has never entered at all, but the person in front of Princess Lexin has been ordered by the Queen Mother to talk nonsense?" As for the sachets, who knows whether they were picked or stolen? ”

"That sachet was tied for him in the morning when I watched Caiqi and the others serve him to dress." Qiu Yulan shook his head, "The snow blue silk thread used in Shanggong is the main tone, mixed with white and dark green silk threads, the silk thread is the strongest, but it is difficult to tear off a single one, let alone several strands?" Moreover, although the wishful knot is delicate, it is also strong, unless it is untied by yourself, it is impossible to fall off! ”

"Even if it's gone, do you think he went to the palace here, all he walked was a clean and tidy road, and Jiang Tan was followed behind him, if he fell off, Jiang Tan wouldn't see it? When the queen was seen alone, how could the queen and the people in the queen's palace not tell him if they saw him drop something? If you talk about stealing, with his skill, how can it be so easy to take things from him silently? And if this is discovered, how can the queen stop? ”

"What confuses me the most is that Jiang Tan just said that Nineteen was played right in private in front of the queen, and before he left the palace, he was taken by the Empress Dowager Gu - could it be that Nineteen arrived in front of the queen and ran away to Her Royal Highness Princess Lexin without saying a few words? How can there be such a thing? ”

She exhaled and looked at Zhou's mother, "Take a few things suitable for the fourteenth sister-in-law, and take advantage of the fact that no one has been settled, and my mother will run an errand herself, right?" Ask the fourteenth sister-in-law, what is the origin of this Royal Highness Princess Lexin? Why did you suddenly get involved with Nineteen? ”

Although the emperor is a puppet, he can't even do the lifting and lowering of the harem concubines, but whether it is Empress Dowager Gu or Empress Jiang, the number of people in his harem is not very suppressed. In addition, he has no chance to worry about state affairs at all, and he has always been nested in the harem - so there are not many heirs under his knees.

Speaking of which, after Qiu Yulan saw the strength of the Jiang family and the pungency of the queen, he was once surprised that those princes did not die one after another......

It's far away, in short, these princes and princesses, except for Princess Yongfu, Princess Changping, who was raised by the Queen Mother herself, and several princes who were pulled out of the dispute between the princes, are very low-key. is so low-key that the outside world often forgets - now this Princess Lexin, Qiu Yulan has not heard much of it, and she wants to find someone to investigate.

Mother Zhou hurried away and hurried back, and refused to take a sip of water after the salute, and couldn't wait to say: "Her Royal Highness Princess Lexin is from Qu Baolin, a month younger than Princess Changping, usually cautious in words and deeds, never contaminated with right and wrong, the fourteenth young lady recalled for a while, and said that she only remembered that she seemed to love her brother Ten Princes, who was five years younger than her, and she was really impressed by other things. The fourteenth young lady also felt that she must have been instigated by the queen mother this time, so she dared to slander her son! ”

Baolin's rank is not very high, Qiu Yulan thinks that this Qu clan either has something to do with the Queen Mother, or is not very good at pleasing the queen, in this case, the possibility of leaning towards the Queen Mother is even greater.

"Just rely on a few palace people and a sachet, and if you want to frame nineteen in the presence of the queen, it is impossible to succeed." Qiu Yulan pondered, "I'm afraid that Princess Lexin will learn from King Qi and come to hate herself. As evidence...... That's the problem! Could it be that the Queen Mother was reminded by the King of Qi to draw a scoop with a gourd? This time, Princess Lexin was dragged out by her to be a pawn, but she won't help Nineteen speak! What's more, where is the secret matter clear? ”

He thought again, "The queen has a lot of experience in palace fighting, so she should be able to take this into account...... Alas, the rights and wrongs of this summer vacation are really not ordinary! ”

…… In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Yashuang had not been able to come back, but Ni Jin came: "The queen mother knows that the nineteenth prince did not come back last night, you look at it, and the servant comes over and says: The nineteenth prince will be there with the mother, so don't worry." ”

Qiu Yulan hurriedly sent away all the people around her, took her hand and asked, "What the hell is going on?" How could my family nineteen disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Ni Jin whispered: "How could the nineteenth prince do such a thing? It's not the Queen Mother's side tossing! ”

"The Queen Mother?" Although this is the most likely answer, when Ni Jin said it, Qiu Yulan always felt that something was wrong, and frowned, "Then what is the Queen Mother going to do now?" ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother knows in her heart, just rely on a few palace people, and a sachet that God knows where to get it also wants to slander the nineteenth prince?" Nijin swears.

Coldly, Qiu Yulan asked: "So that sachet is really the one on the nineteenth body?" ”

"Uh......" Ni Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The maid didn't see it with her own eyes, I heard that I was wearing an appearance with the nineteenth son, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"The one on the nineteen is gone, isn't it?" Otherwise, how can you not know the truth or falsehood?

Ni Jin said implicitly: "The queen mother sent someone to thoroughly investigate the palace last night. "This is to imply that the queen has the queen mother's eyeliner in front of her, and she took away the sachet when Jiang Yashuang was not paying attention?

Qiu Yulan's eyes showed a hint of suspicion: Nineteen is such an uncaring person?

"And when will Nineteen come back?" Seeing that Nijin didn't mean to tell herself more news, she sighed and asked.

Ni Jin said respectfully: "Niangniang still has to leave the nineteenth son to talk, I'm afraid it will take after noon." ”

What happened yesterday evening, I will be able to come back this afternoon. It doesn't seem that things are very big - Empress Dowager Gu took the name of her own granddaughter, is she willing to be so anticlimactic?

Qiu Yulan had deeper doubts in her heart, and sent Ni Jin away, she pondered alone for a while, and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to tell Li's mother: "I want to eat mung bean cake in the afternoon, you make more, and send some to grandmother, starling, and sixteenth brother in a while." ”

This season is in need of a cool down, and the kitchenette has enough mung beans. Mung bean cake is not a difficult thing to do, and Li's mother made it quickly with the help of two cooks.

According to Qiu Yulan's instructions, the steaming mung bean cake was packed into a food box and sent to three places.

Among them, the one in the Jiangya Dan room, Qiu Yulan especially let the steady Xia Ran send it.

After half an hour, Su He returned from the place where the water was spent, with two large bunches of grapes in return; Caiqi also brought back a few pomegranates from Mrs. Tao - but Xia Ran came back the latest, and didn't bring anything. Everyone was not surprised by this, Jiang Yadan's wife, Xiao Tao, was also moved into Mrs. Tao's yard due to illness to raise, although there were many concubines in his room, but there was no one who could take charge, so naturally no one was ready to return the gift.

Qiu Yulan didn't have the leisure to care about anything else at the moment, sent everyone away, and asked Xia Ran in a low voice: "How is it?" Starling, didn't he come back yesterday? ”

Xia Ran whispered: "The maid is incompetent, the people over there seem to have known that the maid used to find out the whereabouts of the eighth son, and they all kept their mouths tightly closed, and the maid was there for a long time, but he didn't find a word accurately." ”

"That means I guessed right." Qiu Yulan sneered, "How shrewd is the old lady? I'm afraid they sent someone over to lecture me last night, so that they could prevent me from sending someone to knock on the side, right? But if Starling's whereabouts are fine, why be afraid that I know?! ”

Xia Ran asked cautiously: "Do you suspect that the son didn't come back last night, and it has something to do with the eighth son?" ”

"Otherwise, how could his sachet be missing, and then Princess Lexin's palace people held one that looked like that one in their hands?" Qiu Yulan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that this good starling doesn't know what he did to the princess - with his reputation, even if he doesn't have this matter, he can pass on a few more words, but Nineteen is recognized as clean and self-conscious, and the matter is on his head, the queen mother can confidently say that the queen mother and the princess slandered the children of the Jiang family - how did I marry into such a family?!" ”

Xia Ran didn't dare to make a sound.

…… It's just that Qiu Yulan, who was so angry that she died, didn't know that she really guessed wrong this time!
