Chapter 39: Harem Conspiracy
"Knowledgeable? Have you ever seen a knowledgeable man drive his mistress outside? Don't say that Lan'er is not in good health, the mourning family sees that her body is tough! ”
"Queen Mother, the children's affairs are solved by the children, so don't worry about it! Is it bad to live in Kunning Palace? ”
"Hmph, how do they solve it? Is it solved by bullying Lan'er? ”
Seeing the Queen Mother's determined expression, Su Yichen was very strange, Bai Lilan obviously had an expression that was not close to anyone, how could the Queen Mother become an innocent deer who was bullied? What kind of ecstasy did this girl give the Queen Mother!
"Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about Lan'er." Bai Lilan, who had been silent, finally broke the silence, she slowly raised her head, and said expressionlessly, "I will take on the responsibility of the main room and manage the affairs of the palace." will also do her duty as an eldest sister and take care of her younger siblings in the future. These are my responsibilities and missions, no matter what others do to me, I can't escape them! ”
"Our Lan'er has grown up." The Queen Mother looked at Baili Lan with satisfaction, gently stroked her waterfall hair with her palm, and said, "The mourning family looks at you, just like seeing yourself back then." is full of helplessness and grievances, but has to bear all the responsibilities for the sake of identity. But you have to believe that your forbearance today is for the glory of the future saint, and those who bully you today will be a stepping stone to your success in the future. ”
The Queen Mother's words made Su Yichen sound very awkward.
Who wronged her? Do whatever you want in the house, be a blessing, it's her!
was happy, so he took a few people to walk around the capital. I'm not happy, and I say that if I lift the table, I will lift the table. Give her a look at her face, thank God she doesn't throw her face at others! Since that woman came, let alone herself, even Steward Zhao's hair was half white, and there were maids, maids, and domestic servants...... Who in the palace didn't tremble when they saw her? Up to now, on the contrary, she has been wronged and blamed, and even the Queen Mother has to support her. If she really had her backing, wouldn't this capital be able to tolerate her!
The more Su Yichen thought about it, the more angry he became, but the more angry he became, the clearer his mind became, and it was clear enough for him to find out that he was being used by Baili Lan!
"The Queen Mother is right. It's just ......" Bai Lilan paused, and just when everyone couldn't help asking, Bai Lilan said the fundamental purpose of today's visit, "The second sister of the concubine has returned to the capital." ”
"Second sister? Is it Bailisa? Oops, the mourning family hasn't seen her for a long time. The last time we met, she seemed to be a small doll. Although the prince is three years older than her, he likes her at that time, and he follows her when he has nothing to do. ”
Childhood anecdotes can indeed alleviate the awkward atmosphere, and everyone can't help but smile after hearing it.
"That's it, Ming'er, you take Sa'er into the palace and let the mourning family take a look at her. By the way, what kind of in-laws did your aunt find for her? ”
"It's business. It's just that...... Tomorrow Sa'er won't be able to come to see you, because something happened to Sa'er's family. ”
Maybe it's been in the deep palace for too long, the queen mother's curiosity is getting more and more serious, I heard that something happened to Sa'er's house, and listening to the air of Baililan, I'm afraid it is still difficult to solve, the queen mother couldn't help asking, "What happened?" ”
"It would be great if you could help, Sa'er is almost blind from crying at home, and she is chanting her son's name every day, but the child has been missing for three days."
"What!" The Queen Mother is also a mother and knows what it means for a mother to lose her child, so when she heard that Sa'er's child was missing, she was full of anger, "Do you even dare to steal from the heirs of the aristocratic family?" I'll let the emperor make an order and go door to door to find it! This trend must be stifled, otherwise the people of Bac Ninh will not be at peace! ”
"The Queen Mother is kind and able to understand the feelings of the people. It's just that Sa'er ...... this time It's special. ”
"Special? You say, how special. ”
Taking a breath, Baili Lan looked directly at the Queen Mother and said, "Because of rumors, the frequent loss of children in the capital has been related to the prince recently!" ”
This woman really couldn't help it!
Su Yichen squinted at Bai Lilan, thinking that he had come here today to prevent her from pleading with the Queen Mother. But in the end, not only did he fail to stop it, but he was scolded instead, which really outweighed the loss!
"Queen Mother, this ...... Although the prince's behavior is a little ridiculous, he doesn't look like a person who can do those things. Saying that, the queen looked at Bai Lilan again, although she knew that she was her elder, but Ren couldn't help but have a flattering tone in her tone, and said, "Could there be any misunderstanding here?" ”
"Is there a misunderstanding, I will find out soon after going to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to investigate!" It seemed that he didn't want to wait for a moment, Baili Lan Huo Ran got up and said, "The child has no news so far, and if he is one step late, there will be more danger." Why can't you confront His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If it weren't for him, the prince would have found a way to clear his suspicions, and then I would have started looking for other clues. If so, then it is even more necessary to stop the prince's evil deeds, not only for Xiang'er, but also for the many parents who have lost their children in the capital to seek justice! ”
"Hmph," Shu Yichen poured a basin of cold water on Baili Lan first, "If it is really the prince's doing, what do you think we can find when we go to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" The other party has long been alert! ”
"That's right," the queen hurriedly answered Su Yichen and said, "In my opinion, it's better not to startle the snake, first send someone to find out the details, if it is really the prince's doing, then we have to tell the emperor, this is a great rebellious crime!" ”
Bai Lilan didn't bother to talk to these two people, and looked directly at the Queen Mother and was silent, like that, just waiting for the Queen Mother to make a final decision.
"Ahem, Lan'er, the mourning family really wants to help you. But do you have definite evidence, after all, he is also my grandson, and he cannot be condemned based on rumors alone. ”
"I have a clue!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at Baili Lan with different expressions.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put the children in a wooden hut next to the hunting garden for the convenience of hunting. Recently, due to the heavy rain, the road in the forest is difficult, and His Highness has not hunted for many days, and the children are still safe. I heard that the crown prince was called to the main hall by the emperor at this moment, and we can use this opportunity to rescue the children. ”
Shu Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Bai Lilan with an indistinguishable expression, his eyes staring, "How can you know so much about the affairs of the East Palace?" ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid the only thing the prince cares about all day long is the pregnant side concubine, I can only do my best to find out everywhere. The prince now thinks that I have no trouble getting this news at my fingertips, but how do you know how much effort I put into getting it? There is no one in the family to rely on, and the second sister washes her face with tears all day because of Xiang'er's disappearance, so everything can only be borne by me, the eldest sister! ”
Su Yichen obviously knew that Baili Lan was lying, what was the inquiry, she was drinking tea in the teahouse all day long, how could there be a trace of urgency? But I don't know why, seeing Baili Lan's expressionless statement, Su Yichen still felt a pain in his heart for no reason, full of distress.
The Queen Mother heard this, and she also felt worthless for Baililan. But she is different from what Shu Yichen thinks, she is in the harem, and she has seen a lot of things competing for favor, so Baili Lan's words easily make the Queen Mother think of the side concubine borrowing her son to compete for favor, and the concubine endures humiliation and has nothing to rely on, and there is no one in the family to rely on, and she has to carry the big things by herself, the more she thinks about it, the more she looks like her younger self!
Among these three, only the queen is the first time to meet Baili Lan, and there is no emotional tie, and she can often see it more realistically. But true or not, who cares?
"Okay, this matter is in charge of the mourning family, let's go to the hunting garden and have a look."
"The Queen Mother's ......"
stretched out her hand to stop Su Yichen's unfinished words, and the Queen Mother had made up her mind, "Aren't you afraid that the teacher will be nameless, then the mourning family will come out of this." It just so happens that the weather is good today, and the mourning family also wants to go out for a walk, so a few of you, just accompany the mourning family and go to the hunting garden together! After speaking, she ordered Mama Su to go down and prepare, and at the same time, the Queen Mother looked at Su Yichen, with a warning in her eyes, "You will accompany your princess for a while, don't be blinded by the side concubines all day long, they have grown up, don't you know what kind of woman is used to use, what kind of woman is used to hurt!" ”
"Grandchild ......"
"Okay, okay, let's all get ready!"
With the support of Mama Su, the Queen Mother went to the side hall to prepare, and the queen also went back to the palace to change her clothes, only Bai Lilan and Shu Yichen, because it was too late to prepare for returning home, so they could only wait in Kunning Palace.
There were no outsiders present, Shu Yichen looked at Bai Lilan coldly, and sneered, "No one has watched your performance anymore, why don't you take off your disguise, don't you get tired if you wear a mask all the time?" ”
"When it comes to disguise, who can compare to the prince!" Baili Lan closed her eyes, her cherry lips opened slightly, and she said coldly, "Even if you don't like Ou Zhilan, you still have to pretend to spoil her to the sky, it seems that Ou Qingshan has promised you a lot of benefits!" The future crown prince? Can you satisfy your appetite? ”
"Baililan!" Busy looking left and right, Su Yichen's face was distorted, "This is the palace, put away your mouth without blocking!" ”
"Hmph, you can't say what you can do, can you be a hypocrisy!" Bai Lilan raised her arm indifferently, and the disdain in her eyes was undisguised, "Since you want it, go and grab it openly, and maybe I will praise you for your bravery." Now I only know that hiding behind a woman and using a woman as a guise is really despicable! ”
Bai Lilan's ridicule successfully provoked Su Yichen's anger, he thought that he must have been crazy just now, so he felt that she was pitiful, and he needed his own arms to bring her stability. But now look at this woman covered in thorns, she doesn't need any gentle protection, she just needs herself!
