The two were gossiping, and Qiao Zhu came in to reply, saying that the Queen Mother had sent someone over and invited her to Ruian Palace.

Mama Qin looked at the sky outside, and the sky was already faintly full of stars, and the sky was already dark.

"It's so late, what is the Queen Mother and her old man calling for? But what did you hear about? ”

Qiao Zhu shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard that the emperor also went straight to Ruian Palace after returning from the imperial study." ”

"Could it be a feast?" Mama Qin guessed: "Today is the first day that the queen mother entered the palace, and the queen mother Xu is the queen mother has enjoyed the banquet. ”

Because she was in her own palace and was about to go to bed, Yuehua had already taken off her gold, silver and lead, wore a breast-length Luo skirt embroidered with a white cat catching butterflies in soft satin, and loosely curled a hairpinch like ink and green silk with a gorse, simple and elegant. Mama Qin was anxious to re-wash Yuehua.

Qiao Zhu urged: "The people waiting outside said that they were in a hurry. ”

The two glanced at each other, and knew that something should have happened, otherwise they would not alarm everyone at night.

Yuehua thought about it, left Xiangshen, and took Mama Qin straight to Ruian Palace. Mama Qin has a good understanding of the intricate relationship in the palace, if there is really something wrong, she can help Yuehua analyze the pros and cons, and mention one or two points when it is critical.

In the Ruian Palace, the lights are bright, and even all the glass lamps in the courtyard are palmed, bright and bright as day.

When the palace people saw Yuehua, they didn't need to be polite, and went straight to the main hall with the two of them.

As soon as she stepped into the room, Yuehua felt stuffy, the air seemed to be frozen, and the feeling of suffocation on her face was like a rainstorm coming.

There have been a lot of people gathered in the hall, the queen mother, the emperor, Ling Guifei, Concubine He, Ya Concubine, Jun Jieyu, all sat solemnly, with a dignified face.

Yuehua stepped forward to salute, only to find that there was a person kneeling in the shadow of the lamp on the ground, hunched his shoulders and sobbing. Hearing her footsteps and turning her head, Yuehua was taken aback. The one kneeling on the ground turned out to be Lan Cairen.

When I got up in the morning, I saw her, and she was still a beautiful and beautiful character like a rabbit, but now her clear and watery eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her nose was also shiny, full of grievances.

"The queen mother, the maid is wronged, even if she lends the maid ten dares, the maid will definitely not dare to do such a rebellious thing."

Lan Cai walked on his knees facing Yuehua, kowtowed again and again, mourned and begged, and tears poured out like springs.

Yuehua didn't dare to be rude, and first greeted the Queen Mother and Mo Guhan respectfully. I couldn't help but peek at Mo Guhan, he only had a cold face, and he didn't bother to open his mouth, as if he had been ironed by an iron, and his face was expressionless.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to watch the tea on the seat.

Yuehua thanked the Queen Mother and sat sideways beside Mo Guhan, and Mama Qin stood quietly behind her.

Lan Cairen still kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The queen is clear, and the maid is wronged." ”

"Call you stupid, there were so many maids who served the emperor at the beginning, and you were the only one who was promoted; Say you're shrewd, you're not long-sighted. There are so many people here today, and the Queen Mother loves you the most, you don't ask for it, you have to rush to ask the Queen Mother. She hates you to the bone, I'm afraid that she can't break your body into thousands of pieces, so she can relieve her anger. ”

Concubine Ling looked coldly at Lan Cairen on the ground, and her tone of voice was a little yin and yang.

The Queen Mother immediately glared at her secretly and motioned for her to shut up.

The corners of Yuehua's mouth pursed a soft smile, like silk, twisting and turning: "This palace and Lancai people are just a relationship between each other this morning, and they are sisters who serve the emperor together, why do you hate them to the bone?" ”

"Niangniang is generous to others, treating others as sisters, but she doesn't know that people's hearts are unpredictable, and others have vicious thoughts in their hearts." On the side, Concubine Crane peeled the golden orange in the white jade plate by herself, and said casually with a smile.

"No, the servant absolutely not!" Lan Cairen shook his head in panic, his face full of horror and grievance.

"What does that mean?" Yuehua already had a vague guess in her heart, and only pretended to be surprised: "It feels like a riddle, it's like falling into the clouds, and I ask a few sisters to make it clear." ”

The Queen Mother coughed lightly and said unhappily: "She was the one who secretly did things in the queen's bedroom yesterday." ”

Yuehua turned her head in surprise to look at Lan Cairen on the ground, stretched out her hand to cover her heart, and couldn't hide her horror: "I have never known Lan Cairen in my life, where did such a big feud come from?" ”

"The word 'jealousy' is a knife in the heart, where do you need anything to celebrate the festival?" The Queen Mother sighed regretfully: "Originally, the mourning family saw that this girl was clever and rare pure and kind, so they took the initiative to carry her up and give her a name." Who would have thought that she would have such a big appetite, and even dare to think about the position of the queen, with such vicious thoughts, it really disappointed the mourning family. ”

Lan Cairen was almost speechless in the face of everyone's accusations, and said incoherently: "The maid is grateful for the kindness of the queen mother and the emperor, and she is conscientious, just to serve the emperor well, and the others don't dare to think nonsense." The queen mother, the emperor, really didn't do it as a servant...... Then, that medicine powder girl doesn't know at all! ”

"Now that people are dirty, do you still want to quibble?" The Queen Mother pointed at Lan Cairen with hatred, and her fingertips trembled with anger: "Yihuan, the palace people who have always been good with you in the Needlework Bureau, have already confessed and handed over all the gold and silver of the jewelry you bribed her in an attempt to reduce the punishment." Now that the powder has been found in your dormitory, what else do you have to argue? ”

Lan Caimin probably felt that he couldn't argue, and he was a little disheartened, so he no longer begged and excused himself everywhere, shrunk his shoulders, just lowered his head and covered his face and cried, a little distracted: "Those jewelry were given to Yihuan by Huaien before, she said that her mother was sick in bed all the year round, and her family was poor. So there is a lot of help on weekdays, she, how can she slander me like this? ”

At this time, Yuehua also figured out this matter. Today, the Empress Dowager ordered the Empress Dowager to strictly investigate the poisoning, and she must first interrogate the Needlework Bureau, and naturally she was interrogated among several palace people who were responsible for embroidering Baizi quilts, and then found clues, and then, someone could not stand the interrogation, and they confessed to Lan Cairen in 1510. Then, naturally, he ordered someone to search in the dormitory of Lan Cairen, and naturally, he found "dirty things".

It's just that it's not as simple as that.

She lowered her eyes, thinking secretly. This Lancai person's position is 108,000 miles away from herself, she harms herself, for her, there is no real benefit, not to mention, who is so stupid, after moving his hands and feet, he still leaves a disaster and provokes sin for himself?

I'm afraid this Lan Cairen is just a scapegoat, right?

When she got up this morning, the Empress Dowager pointed the finger at Concubine Ling. was poisoned herself, and she "fainted" by coincidence, and called the imperial doctor to her Jiaofang Palace, which was obviously suspicious. The Queen Mother naturally would not be willing to let her carry this black cauldron and provoke the emperor's disgust. In addition, if you have to go to the Queen Mother to make a business, you must find someone to blame.

The knowledge of this scapegoat is also great, and there are people who harm themselves, and eighty or ninety percent are concubines in the palace. Concubine Crane and Concubine Ya, the Queen Mother finally pulled into this position, and the family power is also very important in the court, and the Queen Mother must be reluctant. Even if you want to "give up the car to protect the handsome", this car must be an inconsequential chess piece.

Then there are only Lan Cairen and Jun Jieyu. Jun Jieyu is the person canonized by the emperor, and she is the top pet of the heart, if she moves, the emperor will ask, and only Lan Cairen is the only one who is promoted by the queen mother, but she can block the mouth of the queen mother, and it is insignificant. Therefore, this Lancai person, today, it is useless to defend again.

But just in the snap of her fingers, Yuehua had already seen the situation clearly, and she saw that Nalan was crying heartbroken, almost broken in her heart, and she felt pity in her heart. However, he can't recklessly interject and plead, ruining the queen mother's good deeds.

She raised her eyes to look at Mo Guhan, and watched this farce coldly, and remained silent and indifferent, as if it was none of her business, just a spectator under the stage.

Yuehua suddenly felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, if it was about feelings, Lan Cairen had served Mo Guhan for many years, whether Mo Guhan liked it or not, he was the person who used to be with him on the pillow, he could watch Lan Huaien being wronged, wronged, and even his life was not guaranteed, and he still maintained a lofty posture, as if he was just despising an ant struggling on the death line.

Just like that day, she knelt on the street, Mo Guhan sat on the carriage, and walked away with disdain, leaving disaster and spitting on herself.

"Queen, now that the truth is clear, whether it is life or death, how to deal with it, that is, your words."

The queen mother smiled so lightly, just like the Buddha's compassionate smile, just right, just the meaning of the coldness in the words, and the Lan Cai people on the ground trembled.
