"There's a smell of it?" Lan Yunyi's eyes widened, thinking that she had encountered the crazy wolves that day, and there was also a strange fragrance on her body, her pupils shrank, "What kind of fragrance is it?" ”

It's a pity that the dress was torn by her, and she couldn't find it at all.

Bai Zhen'er pursed her lips: "I can't describe it - the fragrance is extremely strong, it makes people feel dizzy when they smell it, I have never smelled it before." ”

That's the scent!

Lan Yunyi's heart slammed up, her eyes widened, and she grabbed Bai Zhen'er's hand with some excitement.

"Where did you go before you left the palace? Who have you seen? Where does this smell come from? ”

Lan Yunyi's reaction caught Bai Zhen'er a little off guard, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before slowly answering.

"I naturally didn't use this strange fragrance in the past, but before leaving the palace that day, I followed Niangniang to Concubine Hui's palace, and the smell on the clothes was probably the incense in Concubine Hui's palace."

Incense in the palace of Hui Guifei?

Lan Yunyi's brows furrowed slightly.

In her mind, she recalled the silent and distant appearance of Concubine Hui, her family background was so prominent that even the queen had to ask her idea before making a judgment.

I don't know what she has in mind, but it seems that the city is very deep, like a full old fox.

If Concubine Hui burns this strange incense in the palace, who is it for?

Isn't this the way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred?

Seeing Lan Yunyi's reaction, Bai Zhen'er felt a little strange again, her body leaned forward slightly, and she opened her mouth with some curiosity: "Sister Yunyi, is there anything wrong with this fragrance?" ”

Lan Yunyi hid the doubts in her heart, and her smiling face was a little cautious: "I don't know very well, but I have also encountered frightened animals before, so I was a little curious and asked a few more questions." ”

Bai Zhen'er listened, her eyes flickered a little, and she let out a soft "oh", not knowing what she was thinking.

Lan Yunyi was suspicious, but there was no evidence at the moment, and the Bai Zhen'er in front of her didn't know that there was the old palace maid she met a few days ago and night......

Lan Yunyi had taken the old divine doctor to see the body of the palace maid.

The old doctor only said that when she was poisoned, the toxin had invaded her internal organs, and even if he was present at the time, he could not save her.

And Lan Yunyi tentatively asked Grandpa Bu if he knew this old palace maid, and Grandpa Bu shook his head calmly.

The clue of the old palace maid was broken here.

But Bai Zhen'er's words today have strung together those strange things in the palace and outside the palace.

Hui Guifei...... What role did she play in it?

———————————

With the departure of the Queen Mother, the remaining palace concubines and wives also said goodbye.

The originally noisy shore of Nanhu Lake also fell silent suddenly.

Only then did Lan Chongzhou slowly walk out of the shadows of the trees.

He looked down at his hands, which had just held Yun Yi's wrists, as if they still had Yun Yi's temperature in their palms.

Lan Chongzhou shook his hands with some nostalgia, his eyes moistened a little more, and he walked a few steps with his long legs to the place where Lan Yunyi had just slipped and fallen.

The edge of the shore of Nanhu Lake is made of bluestone slabs, and two or three inches further in, it is usually paved with mud.

But Lan Chongzhou had a cold face and looked at the ground where the incident had just happened, but saw that there were many pebbles inlaid in the soil.

Lan Chongzhou slowed down, pulled a pebble from the dirt, and looked at it carefully.

"Blue Guard, what are you doing here? Concubine Li just fell from here, it's not lucky here! ”

A little eunuch came to ask a little strangely.

"I haven't seen these pebbles on the edge of the South Lake before, did they just put them down recently?" Lan Chongzhou played with the moss-covered pebbles in his hand and asked quietly.

"Yes! The people above thought that the bare edge of the South Lake was not good-looking, so they asked us to pick some beautiful pebbles and put them in. I just put it a few days ago! ”

Just put it the other day? But the one in his hand is covered with moss, which is definitely not right.

"And what were these pebbles used for?" Lan Chongzhou's face was a little cold and stiff.

"Once upon a time, they were all placed in the potted pine trees for decoration!" The little eunuch replied.

"Then who ordered the singing and dancing and kites in the lake today?" Lan Chongzhou continued to ask.

"I heard that it was arranged by Miss Yun Yi next to Concubine Zhen? The people above said that we people below can only do it! ”

The little eunuch replied truthfully.

When Yun Yi was in the Lan Mansion in the past, she was pushed into the lake by Lan Yuanday, she was very afraid of the water, and it was impossible for her to arrange these things in the lake.

Someone must be trying to frame Yun Yi......

Lan Chongzhou's pale lips pursed tightly, and after he said goodbye to the little eunuch, he walked along the mossy pebbles.

In front of it was a low bush, and it looked like some kind of rag hanging from the bush.

Lan Chongzhou hurriedly stepped forward, took off the small rag, squeezed it tightly in the palm of his hand, and observed it repeatedly.

His face gradually became solemn, and he muttered to himself: "Yun Yi, in this palace—someone really wants to harm you......"

He clenched his fists, and then went to the palaces to check the pine tree potted plants inside.

This time...... This time, even if he risked his life, he would protect Yun Yi thoroughly.

Lan Wanru has been in Jingci Nunnery for a week.

Ever since she had bribed the little nun to deliver the letter to the Blue Mansion, she had been sitting in front of the door of the Jingci Nunnery in her spare time, hoping that her second brother would come to pick her up after seeing her letter.

But she waited and waited, and even the county lord of Lingshu was picked up by the people in the Lin Mansion, but she still didn't wait for her second brother.

Lan Wanru had to chant every morning, meditate, and after eating half a steamed bun, she would go up the mountain to chop wood, and in just one week, her originally delicate hands had grown calluses.

She stared at her scarred hands at the moment, but felt that her hands had become as ugly as Lan Yunyi's rough hands, and she clenched her hands into fists in some horror.

At this moment, my heart is full of hope.

Why didn't the second brother come to her?

Lan Wanru was just thinking about it, but suddenly heard the sound of a carriage outside the door.

In addition to the sound of carriages, there was a noise of human voices.

She hurriedly straightened up, and almost overjoyed, threw herself in front of the door, her ear against the wooden door, listening to the movement outside.

"Knock knock—"

A knock knocked on the wooden door.
