"She's out and coming back soon?" Lan Qi picked out Min Chang and asked her again in this sentence, "Are you sure she didn't go far?" ”

Min Chang nodded and said: "Xiaoyu came in and told me, Brother Eleven is coming, I don't know if I want to play with our princess, I asked her to take a look, she saw that the noble Juezen led the eleventh elder brother out again, but before Xiaoyu came to tell me, the noble man turned back again, and estimated that he just sent the eleventh elder brother to the door." ”

Lan Qi asked, "Was there anyone else around Brother Eleven at that time?" ”

Min Chang shook his head: "Xiaoyu only saw the child alone, and she didn't know if there was one outside the door." ”

"If the eleventh elder brother is alone, why would the noble Juezen let an elder brother out alone at night, she should send people back to Yikun Palace, even if she doesn't want to see Concubine Yi, she should let her subordinates escort her." Lan Qi put one hand on her cheek and thought, "She is still cautious at this point. At the beginning, Bafujin was not the one she sent back to Ningshou Palace, a little girl she didn't recognize, not to mention the expensive brothers. ”

Min Changzai said: "But maybe Brother Eleven doesn't want her to follow, aren't they playing hide and seek?" Moreover, the eleventh elder brother knows the road, which is different from the Bafujin at that time. ”

Lan Qi had a stirring in his mind, and secretly thought in his heart, the eleventh elder brother was still fine in Yanxi Palace that night, from Yanxi Palace to the place where he was killed, he went all the way from Yanxi Palace, what happened to him?

couldn't help but instruct Min Chang in a deep tone: "You just don't have anything, take good care of Dun Ke, Wen Ke is also very good in Yikun Palace, I won't treat her badly when Thirteen is here, and there may be more strange things in the harem, what matters is the thoughtfulness of yourself and your children, and it has nothing to do with us if others break their heads and tear their faces." ”

Min Chang smiled quietly: "The concubines all listen to you." ”

Fortunately, Min Chang often brought the princess to Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi would not let Juechan think that Xing'er came to tell her something, and now more and more people are involved, but she can't believe anyone, whether the prince lied or not, and what Juechan did is a mystery.

Huanchun helped the master inquire about all kinds of news, Lan Qi naturally wanted to communicate with her, and said that the person who might last see the healthy eleventh elder brother that night was the noble Juezen, Huanchun said: "Since Xiaoyu saw that the noble Juechan came back soon, at least what happened later should have nothing to do with her." ”

Lan Qi shook her head and said uneasily: "She can come back immediately, and she can go out again immediately, just so that Xiaoyu can see it, how can she count what she doesn't see?" There are so few people in Yanxi Palace, and the two of them promised to live in the back, and it is not difficult for her to go out again without being able to hide her eyes, so she can't be trusted. ”

Huan Chun had a look of fear on his face, and said in disbelief: "But why did the noble man of Juezen kill the eleventh elder brother?" ”

"I just don't understand, I think it's scary, as for the prince, it's the same reason, they have no reason to kill that child, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui are now clear of their relationship, and they are still mean to her from time to time, what else can they do, what should they kill for? Either to cover up something, or to instigate something, I can't think of any interest to be picked out here. Lan Qi rubbed her head, complained that she was not smart enough, and said softly, "I don't want to hide from the emperor to check it himself, if I anger him when I turn around, or if I do something half-hearted, it will make him even more angry." ”

Huan Chun said with a smile: "If the mother finds the long-lived master, the slave and maid will also breathe a sigh of relief, no matter how powerful the slave and maid are, they can't match Liang's father-in-law's vast connections, and it is always half a beat slow to investigate things." ”

Lan Qi asked Huanchun to rub her shoulders, frowned and said, "Guess what the emperor is doing now, except for a few words with me in Yikun Palace that day, we haven't spoken properly." ”

Huan Chun smiled and asked, "Niangniang misses the emperor again?" ”

Lan Qi glared at her: "The emperor thinks about it every day, and he is by my side every day." ”

Huanchun asked again: "Then have you made up your mind, do you want to tell the emperor about this matter?" ”

Lan Qi fell down softly, muttering in her mouth: "It's because of the fourth elder brother involved, I can't let go, if it doesn't have anything to do with me, what will I do." Her voice was muffled, but she finally made a decision, "I'll go see the emperor tomorrow." ”

As a result, early the next morning, the emperor suddenly took the prince and several elder brothers to Nanyuan, and suddenly decided that several adult elder brothers and those studying in the study followed, saying that they would come back in two or three days. But if you rise up and go somewhere, it's the same as in the summer, who knows when you'll get home.

Everyone in the palace said that the emperor hid from Concubine Yi and left after being entangled, and Lan Qi herself was originally a little lost, but not long after the emperor started that day, the little eunuch under Liang Gonggong secretly came to Yonghe Palace, and passed on the emperor's words, asking Concubine De Niangniang to stay in Yonghe Palace these days and try not to go out, no matter what the reason, don't care about the things outside, and recuperate for a few days.

Lan Qi was very surprised, but the little eunuch who passed the word was indeed a credible person under Liang Gonggong, and she knew it herself, and the little eunuch chased after the holy driver after the word, and it was impossible to make up nonsense, and if it was a nonsense that was unfavorable to her, why not go out, wouldn't it be "troublesome" if she went out?

"What is the emperor going to do?" Huanchun didn't understand.

"He always has his intentions." Lan Qi seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand, as if there were many things swirling in her mind, but she couldn't grasp the most important point.

But since Xuan Ye knew what was going on in the palace in the past few days, and told her not to go out in advance, it was obvious that he was going to do something in the palace, or waiting for others to do something, and it was estimated that it should be for the death of the eleventh elder brother.

But I thought it would wake up and be shocked for a few days, but nothing strange happened in the palace, Lan Qi inexplicably closed the door in Yonghe Palace for a few days, and then the concubine of Yuqing Palace was about to give birth, and the concubine Lin successfully gave birth to a little brother for the prince, and the heirs in Yuqing Palace were prosperous, and the good news came out of the palace, and the emperor took his sons back to Luan.

Lan Qi knew from the mouth of Thirteen and Fourteen that Huang Ama took them to ride horses and shoot arrows in Nanyuan, and they were together every day, and they were very happy, and the two little guys didn't want to go home, so they were still sullen when they came back.

Lan Qi knew that Fourteen was in a hurry, and if he asked him something, he would get into trouble, so he asked the gentle Yinxiang alone afterwards, and asked him who the brothers were playing with when he was in Nanyuan, and the thirteenth brother said proudly: "I have always been with the fourth brother." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "E-Niang knows that you and the fourth brother are good, what about the fourteenth brother?" ”

Yinxiang said: "The fourteenth brother is also with us. From his words, Lan Qi knew that his three sons had always been together with the third elder brother, and on the eighth elder brother's side, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were together. There were the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, and the crown prince and the eldest elder brother followed the emperor.

"Brother Nine and Brother Ten follow Brother Starling every day, when I was in the study before, I took Brother Eleven and several of them together almost all the time, as long as I saw one of them, I would definitely be able to see the others." Yinxiang told Lan Qi very carefully, and said with some sadness, "It's a pity that Brother Eleven is gone." ”

Lan Qi touched his head, the little thirteen house is kind-hearted and is an excellent child, he cried several times in the days when the eleventh elder brother was gone, obviously he didn't usually have much contact, and the brothers in the study had long been together, but because of the siblings, he was very sad.

"Eniang, Brother Nine is so pitiful, since Brother Eleven is gone, he has changed as a person, he used to be easy-going in the study, but now he is very fierce, and he doesn't smile at us anymore."

Lan Qi comforted the child and said: "The brothers have grown up, so they are naturally more serious, Yinxiang is also an elder brother, and the fifteen or sixteen younger brothers of Qixiang Palace will grow up in the future, you have to help Huang Ama teach them." ”

The thirteenth elder brother seriously promised his mother: "I will be like the fourth brother and be a good brother." The child turned his head as he spoke, and suddenly saw his father standing in front of the door, the mother and son didn't know when he came, the thirteenth brother hurriedly came over to salute Amma, Lan Qi followed behind, and Xuan Ye raised his hand to signal her to excuse him.

Waiting for his son to get up, Xuan Ye sat down and let his son stand in front of him, and said to him a little seriously: "This time I went to Nanyuan, you and the fourteenth brother are the youngest, and the riding and archery skills are worse, I don't blame you, but when you grow up in the future at fifteen or sixteen, if you can't see your brother's heroic appearance, who will convince you?" ”

Yinxiang couldn't help but hang his head, and his father continued: "Fourteen is younger than you, and the strength to pull the bow and arrows is greater than yours. Now in October, I will test your archery skills again before the month of Layue, if it is still so bad, take the board yourself. ”

Yinxiang had fear on his face, Lan Qi came over and hugged the child and comforted him: "Yinxiang will always make progress if he studies hard, even if there is a little progress, gradual progress can last for a long time, let's take our time." ”

Xuan Ye glanced at Lan Qi, but Lan Qi pulled Yinxiang away, sent it to the door and asked him to find Yinyu to go to Ningshou Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and when he turned around, the emperor was already lying down crookedly.

"Riding a horse with your waist upside down?" Lan Qi stepped forward to ask, but Xuan Ye said lazily, "I'm not hurt, but I'm tired." ”

Lan Qi snorted, and just wanted to ask him if he wanted tea or if he was hungry, but Xuan Ye asked her instead: "You haven't left the palace these days." ”

As soon as she said this, sure enough, the emperor didn't let her go out, Lan Qi agreed, and asked casually: "What does the emperor want to investigate?" But nothing has happened in the palace these days. ”

Xuan Ye frowned, and said unhappily: "It's true that there is nothing, I originally thought that someone would destroy evidence or create evidence while I and the prince were not there, but there was no movement, either the murderer was self-contained, or Yinyu really died in an accident." ”

Hearing these words, Lan Qi was sure, sure enough, Xuan Ye was investigating, while planning to tell the emperor everything in his heart, but thinking about Xuan Ye's words, he mentioned destroying evidence or making evidence, could it be that the emperor already knew that the crown prince or someone else was involved?

Xuan Ye said in a deep tone: "I would rather believe that Yinyu died in an accident. The brothers went crazy that night, and he ran there to hide, and from the place where he fell, there was blood on the stone pier, probably from the fact that he hit his head when he fell. ”
