Outside the city, the carriage drove on the official road, rolling over the young grass that had just emerged on the ground, and the driver was a big man with a full beard, and the rolled up sleeves revealed the hideous scars on his arms.

Dozens of miles from Kyoto, there is a bamboo forest, and the bamboo house is located in the middle of the bamboo forest.

"Phew!" With a bang, the big man pulled the reins violently, and the horse neighed, and then stopped in front of the bamboo house.

A thin man walked out of the bamboo house, his hair was coiled on the top of his head, fixed with a coarse cloth, and he was wearing a short hexagram in linen.

"People brought it." The big man got out of the car, and as he spoke, he was about to lift the curtain and lift the person down.

The thin man hurriedly stopped his movements and said, "The news from over there just now, let us send this girl back quickly." ”

These words made the big man glare, and shouted: "Send? This little leather lady was finally brought to the uniform by me. As he spoke, the big man lifted his clothes, thanks to the thin man's sharp eyes, otherwise he really couldn't see the needle's eye smaller than the pores.

The thin man waved his hand and said, "You have rough skin and thick flesh, it's difficult to pierce the needle, don't talk nonsense, send people back quickly!" ”

"What about the money!?" Dahan glared.

The other party didn't do anything about this girl, that is, let them tie her up, let her go after ten days, and when the matter is done, they will give them the rest of the money, and now at this time, let them go, what about their money?

The thin man pressed his aching scalp, and he said, "Don't think about money, I just received not only a letter from my employer, but also a secret letter from the palace. ”

He remembered the blood-red killing word at the end of the secret letter, and now he still felt cold, as if he was in an ice cave.

The letter just said that no matter who robbed this girl on the road, if he refused to return the person to Zhao, he would wait to be hunted down by Lingxiao Palace!

The reason why they accepted it was just because they liked the simplicity and ease of this business, and they thought that the palace would issue a killing order because of a maid.

The thin man doesn't think that this maid has such a great ability, it seems that the problem is still with the master of this maid.

When the big man heard the thin man say this, the whole person looked like he had just climbed out of the water, and the cold sweat on his body could take a bath.

Where did the big man dare to withdraw money, and hurriedly drove the carriage back.

Cining Palace was heavily guarded, the palace people were in a hurry, the old lady standing in the secret corner, her slightly drooping eyes blocked the emotions in her eyes, at this moment, she seemed to have returned to the palace fight decades ago, that day, as the scene now, suddenly, she seemed to see the pair of eyes that were still unyielding even if they were swallowed by the flames.

Master, the Queen Mother is back, don't worry, don't worry-

"Master!" The little princess was playing with the maid outside the pavilion, Ouyang Lingyue was sitting on the edge of the pavilion, the falling green silk caressing the green grass on the ground, and was entangled by the wind.

Ouyang Lingyue glanced at the princess who was playing on the side, and her deep eyes were on Hua Rong's body.

"What about people?" He asked.

Hua Rong lowered his head and said: "The subordinates are incompetent!" ”

Ouyang Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, he knew Hua Rong's ability, could it be that person who couldn't fly away, and he didn't even find Hua Rong!?

"Prime Minister—" The little princess ran into the pavilion and stretched out her little dirty hand to pull Ouyang Lingyue's sleeve.

Ouyang Lingyue lowered her head and looked at her: "Little princess, tired of playing?" ”

The little princess looked up at her little red face, nodded, shook her head again, and said in a milky voice: "Prime Minister, I didn't come in because I was tired, but because an old lady asked me to give this to you." ”

As he spoke, he held the paper crane in his hand in front of Ouyang Lingyue like a treasure.

A dark glint flashed in Ouyang Lingyue's eyes, and then she took the paper crane from the little princess's hand, swept it gently, and opened the paper crane smoothly with her slender jade-like hand, and only a few words were written in the folded paper: Jiao Hua Pavilion Firewood Room.

Ouyang Lingyue handed the note to Hua Rong and said coldly, "Do you know how to do it?" ”

"My subordinates know." The words fell, and in a few jumps, the figure disappeared.

"Go, freshen up the little princess, let's go - Cining Palace!" Ouyang Lingyue waved her sleeves and stood up, her dark eyes were full of turbulent waves.

……

Outside the palace gate, Qiu'er followed her father-in-law's footsteps into the magnificent palace, still a little unable to come back to her senses.

She was kidnapped for no reason, and she was released for no reason, just returned to Huafu, and was invited by the eunuchs in the palace, and now the only thing that echoes in her mind is that after Shura hurried back, there was no reason.

If the emperor asks you if you can know the sachet in his hand, you must say that you know, and you are sure that it is Hua Roulan who asked for Hua Yingmei.

"The maid Qiu'er has arrived." The little eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

This report suddenly made the heart that Flower Shadow had been hanging on the ground fall to the ground.

She instructed Shura to find a little beggar with good roots, and no one in the house could protect Qiu'er, it seems that Zhao Guifei didn't let her people do it, so after hearing what she said to report to the official, she let Qiu'er go.

Qiu'er lowered her head all the way, and her slightly raised gaze slowly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the flower shadow was safe and sound.

"Slave Qiu'er, knock to see the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubine." Qiu'er walked to the hall, knelt on the ground and made a big salute.

Qian Aolin had already lost his patience in waiting, pointed to the sachet in the hand of the Flower Shadow Phantom and asked, "Do you know this sachet!?" ”

Qiu'er raised her head, and the flower shadow threw the sachet in front of her, Qiu'er picked up the sachet and said, "Go back to the emperor, the slave and maid recognize it!" ”

"But your young lady's." Qian Aolin then asked.

"Yes, it's my young lady's." Qiu'er replied, but didn't wait for Qian Aolin to speak, and continued: "This sachet was originally embroidered by the slave maid for Miss, but the second miss liked it, so she asked for it from Miss's hand." ”

Qian Aolin narrowed his eyes, but he believed in the truth of what he said, if they said that what they said was a lie, then they had discussed it in advance!? and the last sentence of the flower shadow ghost, which is really intriguing.

Qiu'er's answer made Hua Yingmei raise her eyebrows slightly, the reason why she said that was just to make the other party helpless to let Qiu'er go, but she didn't expect her to say the same thing as her.

Isn't there a person with Ouyang Lingyue in this Cining Palace, don't you really think of anyone who can have such a great ability, and she can control everything on the spot no longer on the spot.

The unanimous tone of the master and servant made Qian Aolin suspicious, and he glanced at Zhao Guifei and Hua Roulan with gloomy eyes, and then asked, "When is this sachet going to be left by the second lady of that family." ”

"Back to the emperor, three days ago."

Three days, whether it's long or not, is enough for people to be able to arrange all this at present.

In fact, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, where would Qian Aolin give Hua Yingmei a chance to explain, he would have suppressed people a long time ago, but now, if he wanted to ignore this girl's confession, it would be impossible.

Zhao Changyue didn't expect that under her sophisticated plan, the other party would still find a breakthrough.

She thought that there was all the human and material evidence, and her maid was in her hands, so Hua Ying Mei had nothing to do, but she didn't expect that the other party would propose to summon her maid into the palace in public, forcing her to let go, and what she didn't expect was that there was no deviation between this maid and Hua Ying Mei's rhetoric.

Zhao Changyue didn't believe that this was something they had skewered in advance, so that means that in this hall, there were people with flowers and shadows!?

Such a thought made Zhao Changyue feel that he still underestimated her.

"Hua Roulan, do you have something to say about this girl's confession!" Qian Aolin's tiger eyes, fierce attack on Hua Roulan, although the last time the emperor was angry with her, but when the fierce gaze shot at her, Hua Roulan knew what a terrible thing it was to be stared at by this gaze.

Hua Roulan hurriedly knelt on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "If you go back to the emperor, it is this girl who is lying, and the courtiers have never seen this sachet." ”

Zhao Guifei couldn't help but interject: "Your Majesty, that girl is a cronie next to Miss Hua, how can what she said be used as evidence, Hua Yingmei murdered Concubine Liang, this is what many guards have seen." ”

Murder of the good concubine!?

Zhao Changyue's words made Hua Roulan's eyes light up, isn't that Concubine Liang the former Luo Qing'er!?

"The Prime Minister asks to see you." The eunuch's voice broke the silence in the hall, and a strange light flashed in Qian Aolin's eyes.

"Xuan!" With a wave of his long sleeves, Qian Aolin said in a deep voice.

The reason why Ouyang Lingyue was able to stay in the palace and enter and leave the palace freely was all because of his grace, but if it weren't for a big event, he would never have entered the palace without his own summons, did not go to the imperial study, and came directly to Cining Palace.

Qian Aolin squinted, his eyelashes blocking the flickering darkness of his eyes.

Ouyang Lingyue is still as gentle as jade, and there is always a faint smile on that face of the beautiful crown Jinghua, like a wisp of spring breeze blowing through your heart, but if you get closer, you will find that what is wrapped in the spring breeze is the cold wind and frost like a knife.

He was like a spotlight, easily attracting the attention of everyone present, and even made people ignore the child he was holding in his hand.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor, and knocks to see the queen mother." Ouyang Lingyue bent down and saluted, her movements were casual but like a crown of jade, and the green silk tied behind her head drooped slightly with her movements, echoing the dark black lines on her navy blue official uniform.

Qian Aolin looked at his official uniform in this life, his brows raised slightly, he originally thought that the other party had left the palace and returned, but now it seems that the other party has not left the palace at all.

"Aiqing is exempt." His thoughts swirled in his heart, and finally drowned in his eyes, and after Qian Aolin asked Ouyang Lingyue to excuse himself, he asked, "Aiqing, this is!?" The latter words were waiting for Ouyang Lingyue to explain.

Ouyang Lingyue smiled and comforted the uneasy little girl beside her, but replied: "Please ask the emperor to atone for his sins, and the minister dares to say it." ”

Qian Aolin raised his eyebrows slightly, Ouyang Lingyue's action just now made him notice the little girl behind him, a little familiar, but he didn't know why Ouyang Lingyue brought her here.

Zhao Changyue's whole body trembled violently when she saw the little girl behind Ouyang Lingyue, if it weren't for the calmness she had cultivated over the years, she would have to sit on the ground, how could this be? How could this little girl be in Ouyang Lingyue's hands!

In the corner, Su Hu, the guard with a knife, clenched his hand at his side into a fist, and since Ouyang Lingyue came in with the little girl, his eyes seemed to be nailed to her body, and it was a good mistake.

Hua Yingmei's gaze swept over the bodies of several people, Yuanshan Handai's eyebrows rose slightly, and the red lips even evoked a smile but not a smile, it seems that the child brought by Ouyang Lingyue is not ordinary!

"You say!" Qian Aolin said in a deep voice.

Ouyang Lingyue put on her official uniform and said, "The little princess was rescued from the lotus pond by the minister. ”

did not say the cause and effect, let alone a detailed description, but this sentence makes people think about it.

Princess!? Qian Aolin has not many heirs in his life, and the princess is only a handful, only two, the eldest princess is his first child, and he is naturally very fond of him, but the eldest princess has already been married, and the remaining little princess, I am afraid that it is the child born to him by Concubine Liang a few years ago!

If it hadn't happened today, he would have forgotten about this child.

Although she is not favored, she is also the heir of his Qian Aolin, and if he doesn't want to see her, it doesn't mean that those minions can despise her!

Qian Aolin slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted angrily: "What about the minions who take care of her, get me in." ”
