"This ...... The slave and the maid did not know. ”

The white and tender fingers supported the chin, and the woman's delicate red lips opened slightly, revealing a playful smile, "It seems that your master hates Baili Lan very much, and he will report to me if there is a little trouble." Go back and tell her that if this is true, it will be a good for her! ”

The two men talked for a long time before they looked around each other cautiously and left in opposite directions.

Fluttering the dead leaves on her head hard, Princess Chang'an said angrily, "The palace still trusts you so much, it's better for you to cover yourself up tightly." Honestly, what the woman said just now is true? ”

Qiu Ziyao's palms were already soaked with sweat, and she was in tears, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.

Chang'an couldn't wait that long, so he simply grabbed Qiu Ziyao and rushed in the direction of Kunning Palace. There is Baili Lan there, and I believe she will definitely give herself the answer!

When the two girls ran to Kunning Palace out of breath, someone had already arrived one step ahead of them, and the atmosphere was a little strange, because the Queen Mother was full of anger, while Concubine Jin was proud. Only Baili Lan is so quiet as if there is no one else.

"Chang'an, please greet the imperial grandmother!" Chang'an bent down at will to give a salute, even if it was to say goodbye, and then he "pedaled" a few steps, ran to the queen mother, shook her arm and asked coquettishly, "Imperial grandmother Imperial grandmother, Chang'an heard that Ziyao is the daughter of Lord Qiu, is this true?" ”

"Ha, the Queen Mother, you heard it, now it's not the concubine who is spreading this matter alone, even the princess Chang'an who lives in the palace has heard of it, it seems that some things are not groundless!" As she spoke, Concubine Jin had already looked at Baili Lan pointedly, her eyes full of pride.

Disturbed by Concubine Jin's noisy voice, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and slowed down for a moment before she said tiredly, "This matter has its own mourning family to deal with, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"The concubine is not too careful, but afraid that the queen mother will be deceived by someone with a heart! Please also ask the Queen Mother to investigate this matter strictly, and not leave a disaster by Princess Chang'an's side! ”

Hearing this, Princess Chang'an was not happy. Although she was annoyed by Qiu Ziyao's deception, Ziyao was also her person, whether it was a punishment or a reward, it was up to her to decide, when would it be this woman's turn to talk too much?

At that moment, Princess Chang'an's face changed, and she said with a straight face, "Who said that Ziyao is a scourge?" Concubine Jin Guifei should not be framed because Ziyao does not give you the cultivation of Snow Country White Tea in the palace! And this palace didn't hear the news from elsewhere, just happened to be behind the rockery with Zi Yao, and I heard someone report to you, so I came to ask the emperor's grandmother. I don't know what the truth of the matter is, I hope Concubine Jin won't spew blood! ”

After Princess Chang'an said this, everyone looked at Concubine Jin with different eyes.

The Queen Mother was full of anger, slapped the table and said coldly, "Concubine Jin, isn't the lesson you taught last time enough!" Until now, you still have to make waves in the harem, what, are you going to make the mourning family angry to death, are you satisfied! ”

Concubine Jin was shocked by the anger of the Queen Mother, and she didn't dare to say much when she stood still. It's a shame that the dead girl was behind the rockery at that time, and it seems that she can't make anything on this trip today.

As for Baililan, he still looked at each other coldly and didn't say a word.

Tugging the handkerchief, Concubine Jin smiled and said, "Queen Mother, what do you say, how can the concubine think so, it's too late for the concubine to hope that you will live a long life." Besides, the concubine did this for the safety of the harem. If it was a misunderstanding, then the concubine would pay Princess Chen compensation. But if it's the truth, then it's ......," Concubine Jin paused deliberately and smiled meaninglessly, "In the final analysis, as long as Princess Chen personally explains the ins and outs of the matter carefully, won't any misunderstandings be resolved?" Princess Chen, do you think that's the reason? ”

Hearing someone mention her name, Bai Lilan raised her head leisurely, looked at Concubine Jin with beautiful eyes, and said with a smile, "What does Concubine Jin want me to say?" ”

"Of course it's the truth of the matter!"

Qiu Ziyao held her hands nervously, her little face turned white, and before Bai Lilan could speak, she "pounced" and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

"Ask the Queen Mother to forgive Princess Chen, everything is not good for slaves, it was the slaves who deceived Princess Chen!"

"Ziyao!" Princess Chang'an hurriedly dragged her, but found that this girl was stubborn, and no one could pull her back.

Slowly squatting down, Baili Lan stroked Qiu Ziyao's soft hair and said gently, "Ziyao, why don't you tell the truth?" When they are persecuted, they can only make their enemies more and more unscrupulous. Now that the Queen Mother is here, you don't need to be afraid, as long as you tell the truth about the matter, the Queen Mother will naturally administer justice for you. Right, Queen Mother? ”

In fact, the Queen Mother also likes Qiu Ziyao, but this child's identity is too special, and if she doesn't handle it well, she will be estranged from the emperor.

Thinking so in her heart, the Queen Mother raised her chin slightly with a solemn expression, and said with a dignified face, "Lan'er's words are reasonable, Ziyao, tell the mourning family what you have suffering, if you are really treated unfairly, the mourning family will definitely not sit idly by." ”

With the permission of the Queen Mother, and with the support of Baili Lan, Qiu Ziyao slowly calmed down, her warm eyes were as innocent as a deer, and as resolute as an antelope.

In the quiet hall, only Qiu Ziyao's innocent voice flowed, like spring water crossing his heart, striking out layers of ripples.

After a stick of incense, Qiu Ziyao recounted the twists and turns of the past one by one. Speaking of emotion, there are also little palace maids secretly wiping their tears, and even the queen mother can't help but have red eyes. On the other hand, Concubine Jin's complexion is changeable, and her eyes are wandering.

"Ziyao, it turns out that you were so miserable in the past, why did you never tell this palace?" Princess Chang'an stretched out her chubby little hand, clasped Qiu Ziyao's hands, and said, "If I had known, this palace would have been better for you." And they will find those bad people for you, and give your father justice! ”

"Princess Chang'an, it would be bad if the emperor heard this, as if the emperor was a faint monarch and misjudged the Qing officials." Concubine Jin had something to say, full of false smiles.

Princess Chang'an is not stupid, she has long sensed this woman's bad intentions, she did not hide her disgust for Concubine Jin, "You don't have to set a trap for this palace!" The killing of Qing officials was not the original intention of the father, but must have been instigated. Keeping such people is the future of our Bac Ninh! Grandmother, let's tell my father about this, Ziyao is so pitiful, she can't let her live in grievances for the rest of her life! ”

The Queen Mother was a little troubled by the noise, waved her hand tiredly, and said, "This matter still needs to be investigated, and you can't rush to find the emperor and ask for the case to be overturned." However, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is unreasonable for the mourning family to come forward. It's better to find someone you can trust and investigate the matter. With evidence in hand, you can block the mouths of the people. ”

"Imperial grandmother, let Chang'an go, Chang'an will definitely complete the task!" Seeing that something new was happening, Chang'an ran to the Queen Mother happily and begged one after another.

But how can such a big thing be entrusted to a child? Besides, there will be dangers here, Chang'an is just a pampered princess, how can she have the ability to investigate the case? So the Queen Mother didn't think about it, so she rejected Princess Chang'an's nonsense.

Mei's eyes turned slightly, and Baili Lan said coldly, "Queen Mother, it's better to let Prince Chen investigate this matter!" First, Prince Chen has no close relationship with Lord Qiu, and the investigation will not be true. Second, Prince Chen is in a high position and power, and he will not succumb to others because of his interests. In addition, Prince Chen has an excellent reputation among the people, and he will investigate it, and I believe that the people will be more convinced, demonstrating the royal family's determination to re-investigate the case. With such a triple win, what does the Queen Mother think? ”

"The concubine thinks it's a good idea." Before the Queen Mother could speak, Concubine Jin opened her mouth first, looked at the Queen Mother flatteringly and said, "The concubine also thinks that Prince Chen is reliable. The last time the prince was abolished, Prince Chen also interceded for the former prince, and his brotherhood deeply touched the entire capital. It is only fitting that such a caring and righteous person should do this. ”

Concubine Jin was worried that she had no way to recommend Shu Yichen, but she didn't expect Bai Lilan to mention it first. According to rumors, it was Shu Yiling who killed Lord Qiu, so that he could have a justifiable excuse to seize the military power of Shu Yiling, and then eat away at his power step by step, and in the end, like the former prince, expose Su Yiling's evil deeds, and finally degraded to a barren land, and never return to Beijing!

The more Concubine Jin thought about it, the more beautiful she became, and her voice unconsciously became softer, and others were horrified when she heard it.

The mourning family also felt that the third child was doing things safely. In this way, Lan'er asked the third child to come to see the mourning family and discuss it again. If this matter is not handled well, it will arouse the emperor's disgust, and it will have an impact on everyone present today. Therefore, the mourning family hopes that you can keep it secret, and you can't spread it everywhere, remember! ”

When the Queen Mother said this, she mainly meant to Concubine Jin. She saw the wind and the rudder the most, and she didn't know which day she would be by the pillow and tell the emperor about it. Now mention her, and let Concubine Jin know that she has nothing to do with this matter.

Following everyone, Concubine Jin leaned over with great reluctance and said yes.

After leaving the palace, Baili Lan did not return to the palace courtyard, but went to the private house on North Street. There was still no one guarding the door, so Baili Lan saved the trivial rules and walked directly through the door.

"County Lord, the prince doesn't seem to be here." Chunfeng came back after checking and said, "The woman in red is also missing, just now the slave maid asked the neighbor next door, they said that the prince rarely comes here, and they are not familiar with that woman, listening to that tone, it seems to be a sister in the kiln." ”

Not here?

Bai Lilan nodded, and then ordered, "Dongxue, you first go to the Chen Palace, find out where Su Yichen went today, and then rush to inform him, I am waiting for him in the palace, there is something important to discuss, if he doesn't come back before dark, I will burn his Chen Palace!" To convey it to him word for word, remember? ”
