"But—I gave this sachet to my second sister Hua Roulan a few months ago, oh, speaking of Roulan, the concubine must be very proud to have such a talented and beautiful niece."

The flower shadow smiled again and again, but it made Zhao Changyue's heart chill.

What does she mean by that? said that he gave this sachet to Lan'er, and named his relationship with Lan'er, doesn't that mean that it was not she who killed the concubine, but herself as a concubine?

"Flower Shadow Charm, you are talking nonsense." Zhao Changyue glared at him sharply and scolded angrily.

Flower Shadow Charm laughed and blinked innocently: "Guifei Niangniang, did the courtier say something wrong?" ”

Looking at her appearance, Zhao Changyue's chest rose and fell violently, and it seemed that she was angry enough.

"What do you mean? This sachet belongs to your sister-in-law? Qian Aolin asked with a calm face.

Flower Shadow Charm nodded and replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can pass Lan'er into the palace." ”

Seeing her say this, Qian Aolin couldn't help but glance at her deeply, and then said, "Shunxi, go and invite the second lady of the Flower Mansion." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Changyue did not stop her, but said: "Your Majesty, Lan'er's child was just frightened yesterday, and I don't know if I can let her aunt accompany her into the palace." ”

"Emperor, the mourning family doesn't want to see that thing." Qian Aolin just wanted to agree, but when he heard the Queen Mother say this, the words blurted out changed: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I only summoned that Hua Roulan." ”

Zhao Changyue was unwilling, and she didn't dare to compete with the emperor, she looked at the flower shadow ghost standing aside, but she couldn't figure out what she was thinking, her words would be self-defeating with the arrival of Lan'er, but why did she say that? Is it stalling for time? But even if she is procrastinating, she is still here, and the people outside can still turn the sky upside down!?

Zhao Changyue didn't expect that the sky was really turned out outside.

Ouyang Lingyue walked out of Cining Palace, handed the portrait to Hua Rong and asked him to find the grandmother, and asked the poker-faced male Hua Qing to collect everything about Concubine Liang.

Shura was told what was happening in the house and hurried back.

Hua Roulan was brought into the palace.

"Miss Flower." Hua Roulan followed her father-in-law who led the way in front of her nervously, and the beautiful figure in her ears made her look up.

"Prime Minister!" Hua Roulan is overjoyed, and the pupils are even more rippling with spring water, and the affection is like a sea of peach petals, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful.

The Prime Minister actually took the initiative to talk to her, which made Hua Roulan's heart pound, and she couldn't calm it down.

"Where are you going?" He asked with a smile, and the smile, gentle and warm, was like the sunshine at this time.

Where could Hua Roulan withstand his charm, and replied without thinking: "If you go back to the prime minister, the courtiers are going to Cining Palace." ”

"Oh!?" Ouyang Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and a dark glow flashed in her eyes that she couldn't see.

"Little princess, do you want to go and say hello to your imperial grandmother?" Ouyang Lingyue squatted down, and Hua Roulan found that behind him stood a little girl who was about five or six years old, dressed like a princess, but like a maid.

But Hua Roulan didn't ignore the meaning of Ouyang Lingyue's words, he asked her if she wanted to go to the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, can she be called the queen mother, what is it if she is not a princess?

"The courtiers greet the little princess!"

Hua Roulan smiled and saluted, with a gentle smile on her face, looking at her with pity.

The little princess's body rubbed back, and grabbed the corner of Ouyang Lingyue's clothes, as if she was frightened by her appearance.

Hua Roulan's eyes widened, and a cruel dark light flashed under her eyes, but she was an unfavored princess, and she dared to embarrass her.

"Miss Hua, don't mind, the little princess is afraid of life." Ouyang Lingyue stroked the little princess's head and apologized to Hua Roulan for her with a smile.

Even if Hua Roulan was angry, she didn't dare to show it in front of Ouyang Lingyue, and hurriedly smiled: "Prime Minister doesn't have to be like this, how can I worry about a child." ”

Ouyang Lingyue chuckled, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

When the father-in-law saw Ouyang Lingyue, he didn't dare to urge, but he was in a hurry, but the emperor was waiting in Cining Palace.

"Father-in-law is afraid that he is in a hurry, I will go with the little princess, I don't know if it is okay." Ouyang Lingyue's empathy made her father-in-law grateful, but at this time in Cining Palace, he thought about it and said, "Your Excellency won't hide it from you, I'm afraid it will be there now-"

"But if you want to take the little princess with you, wait a little longer!"

Hearing him say this, Ouyang Lingyue's eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, I won't bother my father-in-law in the future." ”

"Miss Hua farewell!"

As he spoke, he took the little princess's hand and left.

Seeing that he had the opportunity to walk slowly with the Prime Minister, but was disturbed by the eunuchs around him, he couldn't help glaring at him fiercely. 、

The father-in-law rolled his eyes and secretly said stupid.

Hua Roulan followed her father-in-law to Cining Palace with such anger, and as soon as she entered the door, she was overwhelmed by the solemn atmosphere in the hall.

She looked at the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the side, and then at the flower shadow who was standing calmly on the side, and finally it was Zhao Guifei who glanced at her, and she reacted.

"The courtiers give the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubine Niangniang, please say goodbye."

"Well, get up!" Qian Aolin asked her to get up, but asked the next moment, "This sachet is yours!?" ”

Zhao Changyue was afraid that she would say nonsense, so she hurriedly added: "Lan'er, your eldest sister said that she gave you this sachet, but is there such a thing?" ”

Although Hua Roulan didn't know what was going on, she knew that this sachet must not be a good thing, not to mention that it was not hers, even if it was hers, she would not admit it.

So he hurriedly shook his head: "Back to the emperor, this is not a sachet for a courtier." ”

Hearing Hua Roulan's answer, Qian Aolin put the sachet still at the feet of Hua Yingmei, and scolded angrily: "What else do you have to say!?" ”

Flower Shadow Charm bent down to pick up the sachet and swept the dust off it with her hand, she said, "Why doesn't my sister recognize it?" Didn't you say that my sachet looks good, so you asked for it? ”

"Sister, don't be kidding." Where is Hua Roulan willing to recognize.

"Flower Shadow Charm, don't confuse the public." Where will Zhao Changyue give her a chance to ask, and said sharply: "Come on, press the flower shadow ghost into the prison." ”

"Presumptuous!" With a bang, the Queen Mother slapped on the table, the force was so great, the Buddhist beads in her hand were broken, and they fell to the ground one by one.

"The emperor hasn't opened his mouth yet, the mourning family hasn't opened his mouth yet, how can you be allowed to intervene here with a little concubine, past the emperor's order, who gave you this guts."

The Queen Mother was furious, Zhao Changyue didn't dare to retort, she knelt on the ground, the pear blossoms were falling, and she looked like she had been wronged but forbearance.

"What the Queen Mother punished was that it was the concubine who overstepped."

At that look, Qian Aolin's heart was broken, and he couldn't help but speak: "Queen Mother, what is wrong with Yue'er, this flower shadow ghost is originally a great crime. ”

The Queen Mother was angry and looked at the emperor with bloodshot eyes.

Hua Roulan stood aside with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered, a gloomy smile crawled all over the corners of her mouth, although she didn't know what mistake Hua Yingmei had made until now, but seeing her situation at this time, her heart was very comfortable.

"When I gave this sachet to my sister, my maid saw it with her own eyes." Flower Shadow Ghost's voice was uninhibited, and he was not at all alarmed by the scene in front of him.

"What I'm saying is a lie, and what my sister is telling is the truth? Guifei Niangniang, do you think so? ”

Zhao Changyue frowned slightly, and she said, "This palace doesn't mean that, it's just-"

"Since the concubine doesn't mean this, can you let the maid of the courtier prove the innocence of the courtier?" Flower Shadow smiled and spoke.

The smile on the corner of her mouth upset Zhao Changyue.

"Your maid is your person, and what she says is not enough to believe."

"Can you believe it, but if you can't believe it, just ask?" Flower Shadow smiled.

"Okay, are you going to stall?" Qian Aolin slapped the chair and scolded angrily.

Hua Yingmei was not annoyed, nor was she shocked by the anger in his eyes, she said: "The emperor has been waiting for so long, why can't he wait a little longer, if you take me down now, and prove that I didn't do that thing about Concubine Liang in the future, isn't that your wisdom?" ”

Qian Aolin's eyes widened, nailed to the body of the flower shadow ghost, if his gaze could eat people, he would have devoured her alive a long time ago.

"Emperor, the mourning family thinks what Mei'er said is very true." The Queen Mother glanced at Zhao Guifei and spoke slowly.

"Okay, I'll do what you want!" Qian Aolin held back the anger in his heart, and his voice was low and cold.

"My father-in-law is going to Huafu to take my maid Qiu'er into the palace, if she is not in the house, please ask my father-in-law to report to the official!"

The last two words made Zhao Changyue's eyes tighten.

Is this forcing her to let go? At this time, if the official, and the eunuch next to the emperor, it is strange that the yamen of Kyoto Prefecture does not pay attention to it, although it can't be found on her, but it will always make people suspect that she has slept with the emperor for decades, where do you not understand his indifference.

Zhao Guifei glanced at the big girl beside her, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she went down quietly.

It just so happened that Hua Yingmei had been watching Zhao Guifei's every move, and naturally saw the maid who sneaked out, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile.

Yes, she is just delaying time, one is to give Ouyang Lingyue enough time to investigate everything, and the other is to force Zhao Changyue to release people, Zhao Changyue should be very aware of the emperor's suspicious yin, if Qiu'er is not in Huafu, after receiving the official gazette, the yamen of the capital will definitely do its best to investigate thoroughly, and there will be flaws in foolproof things, not to mention that if you turn around in the hearts of suspicious people, naturally those who are a little suspicious will be labeled, she doesn't care, but she doesn't believe that in this palace where she can survive only if she is favored by the emperor, Zhao Changyue, who has been favored for a long time, will be willing to use this to gamble.

Sure enough, the other party didn't dare!

There was no sound in the hall for a while, only the tireless cry of the oriole outside the window, which everyone could still appreciate and appreciate on weekdays, but at this time, no matter how beautiful the sound was, it became an irritable and annoying noise.

Although Hua Roulan stood in the corner, she still didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear of attracting the attention of the emperor or the queen mother, she only felt that the air around her was solidified, and the whole person was like being immersed in a swamp struggling to survive, and she could only live on the remaining oxygen in her lungs.

For the first time, she felt that time was so long, as if it would never reach the next second.
