Naturally, such a thing could not be thoroughly investigated in the morning, but in the middle of the morning, the Queen Mother still called Luo Ming, the chief of the guard who patrolled last night, and Zhang Dong and Li Qi, who were mentioned by Xia Yan, to her palace and asked them carefully.

Lin Su and Zhou Shuxian were both present at the time, as for why Zhou Shuxian was present, it is actually very easy to explain. Because Lin Su deliberately asked Chunque to go over to inform him, saying that there was a good show on the Queen Mother's side.

And Lin Su himself is a party to this matter, so he naturally wants to do it.

Although the Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied, she had no choice. She vaguely felt that she seemed to have fallen for Lin Su, and involved Lan Xin in this matter. However, things have developed to this point, and the matter was said in front of many concubines in the harem, even if she secretly hates Lin Su in her heart, she can't do anything more.

The three guards were soon brought in, but with them was another man. A person who was beyond Lin Su's expectations.

"Your Majesty." She and Zhou Shuxian immediately got up and saluted, Si Yue asked them to get up, and then stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother, and said in a low voice: "There are some fresh fruits on the west side, and I thought that the Queen Mother has always had a bitter summer, so I asked people to bring two baskets to you to try." ”

As he spoke, he sat down beside the Queen Mother, and motioned to the two eunuchs behind him to bring the fruits in the basket, "They have all just been washed and sent over, the Queen Mother will taste them." Saying that, he gestured, "The queen and the virtuous concubine also try it, if you like it, I will let people send more to the Chaofeng Hall and the Fuliu Palace." ”

On the side, Chang Fugui had already divided the two baskets of fruits that were still dripping with water drops below them into plates, and sent them over one by one. The solemn atmosphere in the room was slightly relieved by this. Lin Su pinched a loquat and slowly peeled it off, his gaze slightly brushing over Si Yue's face.

He was chatting with the Queen Mother, and he didn't seem to pay attention to this, so he didn't show any unusual expression on his face.

Lin Su ate a loquat, took the wet handkerchief handed over by the maid behind him, wiped his hands, and motioned for her to help him peel off the lychee inside, and then said: "This loquat and lychee seems to have been delivered earlier than in previous years, but the taste is as sweet as ever." ”

Si Yue nodded and said, "Since Concubine Xian likes it, I will send one more basket of these two to your palace, and one more basket for each." ”

In the last sentence, Si Yue instructed Chang Fugui behind him. He nodded when he heard this, and took his master's instructions to heart.

Zhou Shuxian glanced at Lin Su with jealousy, coughed dryly, and said, "Although the fruit is delicious, we came here today for not this." She said as she looked at the three guards who were standing silent.

Si Yue restrained the smile on his face, followed by a glance at the guards, and then turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, "Did these three guards make any mistakes to anger the Queen Mother?" ”

"How can it be, this palace doesn't go out much." The Queen Mother smiled, glanced at Lin Su, and said, "Let's let Concubine Xian talk to you." ”

Lin Su didn't care much when he saw the Queen Mother's undisguised displeasure, but he just smiled and briefly said what had happened before.

"I see." Si Yue nodded with a tense face, turned his head to look at Luo Ming, and said in a deep voice: "What happened last night?" If it was just Concubine Lan privately paying tribute to Lin Meiren, how could she alarm the rest of the palace. ”

Luo Ming hesitated for a moment before telling what had happened.

Lan Concubine was not just worshipping Lin Yiyi at that time, she was very unstable at the time, and her mouth was babbling, "You let me go...... I really didn't mean to...... You're dead......" and something like that.

Luo Ming saw that the situation was not right at that time, so he immediately brought someone forward to ask, but Lan Concubine suddenly screamed loudly at that time.

"You mean, at that time, Concubine Lan said that you were the ghost sent by Lin Meiren to arrest her?" Zhou Shuxian's eyes lit up and she grasped the key point in Luo Ming's words. also understood the reason why Lin Su asked her to watch the play, she glanced at Lin Su meaningfully, and then turned her head to look at Luo Ming, "Why does Concubine Lan care so much about Lin Meiren's death, and why does she think that Lin Meiren will retaliate against her and pester her?" ”

She asked the point in one sentence, and implied that Lan Xin had something to do with Lin Yiyi's death.

Luo Ming glanced up at the four masters sitting on it, and then lowered his head and said, "The subordinates don't know why this is. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "After all, Concubine Lan is the master of the harem, so her subordinates can only let the two maids who follow her comfort her and escort her back to rest." ”

After that, Zhang Dong and Li Qi were interrogated by Zhou Shuxian and the Queen Mother, which verified what Luo Ming said before, and was even asked by Zhou Shuxian for more details.

"Are you sure, you heard Lan Concubine say, 'Leave me alone, you're dead...... I'm sure you're dead and can't die anymore...... You can't come back, you can't come back to ......take revenge', Zhang Dong, do you understand what you think these words are about? Why would Lan Concubine think that Lin Meiren's soul would come back to take revenge - and to find her to take revenge! ”

Zhang Dong's face was a little pale, as if he was nervous about something. Lin Su looked at him and laughed softly, turned his head to look at Zhou Shuxian, and his lips, which had been silent and tightly closed, finally slowly opened.

"The queen mother, judging from the concubines, Zhang Guard must have been more concerned about the tasks he was assigned at that time. And Concubine Lan is the master of the harem after all, how can he be so close, but ask some things that he, a guard, should not ask. ”

Zhou Shuxian raised her eyebrows, her eyes swept over the Queen Mother on the side, and Si Yue, "You're right, if you want to know why Concubine Lan ran to the lake to pay tribute to Lin Meiren at that time last night, and why she said something like that, you should still invite her...... The palace maid next to him came over to ask. ”

The Queen Mother's face was very good-looking, Si Yue kept silent, and Lin Su began to eat a plate of peeled lychee meat after a slight reminder, and her movements were elegant and calm.

Xiangli and Xiangxing were soon brought over by Mama Wang in the Queen Mother's Palace, and the two maids looked frightened, trembling and kneeling in the middle of the room to salute.

"The slave has seen the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, and the virtuous concubine. Ladies and gentlemen, ...... safe and healthy."

"Get up." Si Yue's gaze swept over Zhou Shuxian, and she also spoke. The two palace maids stood up, and they didn't dare to move a little in fear.
