Since Concubine Jiang became pregnant, Lin Guiren often went to Concubine Jiang's place, and as time went on, Concubine Jiang became less and less like to move around, and Lin Guiren happened to be fine, so she went to Concubine Jiang every day to accompany her.

Today, Lin Guiren arrived at Yizhu Palace early in the morning, Concubine Jiang has become more and more sleepy since she was pregnant, and when Lin Guiren went, Concubine Jiang had just gotten up.

After Concubine Jiang was freshened up, Lin Guiren brought the fetal medicine and fed it to Concubine Jiang, Concubine Jiang asked Lin Guiren while drinking the medicine: "I heard that when the queen was in Nanyuan, she was pointed out by a Taoist priest as a disaster, and something happened, I don't know if this is really the case?" ”

Lin Guiren nodded and said, "I heard that this is indeed the case, I see that the emperor has not paid much attention to the queen mother recently" Lin Guiren said and sighed.

Concubine Jiang said: "In my opinion, this matter is that someone deliberately framed the queen mother and wanted to sow discord, but I am now pregnant and have difficulty moving, otherwise I will definitely find out about this matter." ”

Lin Guiren also felt that He Suoyi must have been framed by someone after hearing this, where could there be such a coincidence in this world, Lin Guiren said to Jiang Concubine: "Hey, I'm convenient now, but with me alone, I'm not much different." ”

Concubine Jiang slowly put down the medicine bowl in her hand, gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked Lin Guiren: "Are you really willing to investigate this matter?" ”

Lin Guiren nodded solemnly and said: "Of course I am willing, the queen mother is so good, how can I allow others to slander, but even if I have the heart to investigate, I don't have any manpower and news, there is no way to investigate, with my own strength, I may not be able to find out anything." ”

Concubine Jiang smiled slightly and said: "This matter is so strange, there must be more than you and me in this palace who want to help the queen mother, you might as well join forces with them to investigate, of course, you can investigate this matter to the ground." ”

Lin Guiren was confused when he heard this, "I don't know what you're talking about?" Concubine Jiang's head turned to the window, looked at Ning Rongzhi's dormitory, and said, "Isn't that Ning Guiren also here in the Bamboo Palace." ”

Lin Guiren suddenly realized that Ning Rongzhi and the queen mother were very friendly, this time the queen mother was wronged for no reason, she must also want to help the queen mother, but ......

Lin Guiren sighed and said, "It's just that Ning Guiren had a gap with me before, and I don't know if she will help me." Concubine Jiang smiled and said, "This time, you are helping the queen mother together, Ning Guiren is good friends with the queen mother, how can she sit idly by." ”

Lin Guiren nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go to Ning Guiren to discuss it now, find out this matter as soon as possible, and you take care of yourself." ”

Concubine Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you go quickly." ”

Lin Guiren immediately retired and went to Ning Rongzhi.

Lin Guiren entered the hall, Ning Rongzhi looked at Lin Guiren and was very puzzled, she and Lin Guiren had always been at odds, how could she take the initiative to come to her.

Lin Guiren was not polite, and hurriedly said to Ning Rongzhi: "Ning Guiren, I heard that the queen mother was said to be a disaster by a Taoist priest, I think this matter is quite suspicious, there must be someone behind the scenes, intentionally, I want to find out this behind-the-scenes manipulator, and return the queen mother to an innocence, but I can't do anything on my own, so I came here today, I don't know if Ning Guiren is willing to help me and investigate together." ”

Ning Rongzhi sneered: "The person behind the scenes, I'm afraid it's not Lin Guiren." ”

Lin Guiren was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How can you say that, I want to help the queen mother, and I came to you specially to find out this matter, how can you think I ......?"

Ning Rongzhi didn't look at Lin Guiren and said, "The queen has been back for so long, and you haven't said a word, but you suddenly came here at this time, I'm afraid it's not a thief shouting to catch a thief." ”

Lin Guiren was annoyed and angry, he wanted to help the queen mother, but Ning Guiren said this, and wanted to argue, Ning Rongzhi looked at Lin Guiren and shouted: "Send off." The palace maid immediately greeted Lin Guiren, and Lin Guiren had no choice but to go out of the Yizhu Palace.

Lin Guiren walked out of Yizhu Palace, and he didn't know what to do, at this time, he saw two palace maids passing by, whispering, "Hey, do you know, I heard that Concubine Yin ......"

Lin Guiren's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, yes, there is also Yin Nanyao, I heard that Yin Nanyao also took refuge with the queen a few days ago, and Yin Nan is the daughter of Shangshu, it is more convenient to investigate, I might as well go to Yin Nanyao to try.

Thinking like this, Lin Guiren hurried to Hehuan Palace.

When Lin Guiren arrived at Hehuan Palace, the palace maid went in and reported, "Niangniang, Lin Guiren is here." When Yin Nanyao heard that it was Lin Guiren who came, she was also puzzled, this Lin Guiren didn't interact with him on weekdays, why did he suddenly come to him today......

Lin Guiren entered the hall, blessed slightly, and said softly: "The concubine has seen Concubine Yin. Concubine Yin raised her hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's be flat." Lin Guiren stood up.

Yin Nanyao asked Lin Guiren: "You suddenly came here today, but what's the matter?" Lin Guiren nodded and said, "Yes, the concubine came to find the queen today, for the queen's mother." ”

Yin Nanyao didn't know what Lin Guiren meant, so she asked, "Oh? Queen Mother, I don't know what Lin Guiren said? ”

Lin Guiren lightly took a sip of tea and said: "The concubine heard that when the queen mother was in Nanyuan, there was a Taoist priest who called himself Li Laodao, saying that the queen mother was a disaster, and then, a series of strange things happened, first the side Fu Jinwei kicked his foot, then the guards around the emperor fell off the horse, and finally, even the emperor almost lost his life, then Li Laodao said that these things happened because of the queen mother, and finally the queen mother sent someone to take the queen back to the palace, and after that, nothing strange happened in Nanyuan. ”

Yin Nanyao listened to it and knew that what Lin Guiren said was the truth, and he knew about it, but he didn't know what Lin Guiren meant by saying this.

Lin Guiren gently put down the teacup in his hand, and then said: "But since the queen mother came back, there has been no disaster in this harem, the concubine thought about it carefully, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was strange at this time, and the concubine felt that everything that happened in Nanyuan was like a play that someone had arranged in advance." ”

When Yin Nanyao heard this, she also agreed: "Yes, this palace also thinks this thing is very strange." ”

Lin Guiren stood up and said: "The queen is virtuous and virtuous, and the concubine doesn't want the queen to be wronged like this, so if you want to find out about this matter, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes, but the concubine is lightweight, and with the power of the concubine alone, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, so the concubine came here today and wanted to ask the mother if she was willing to help the concubine." ”

Yin Nanyao thought about it and decided to agree, because she had just taken refuge in He Suoyi, and He Suoyi didn't trust herself too much, if she really helped He Suoyi this time, then she would trust herself even more in the future, besides, her father was a scholar, and it was easy to check this matter.

So Yin Nanyao said: "Lin Guiren, you have a heart, this palace is willing to help you, this palace will send a letter to my father now, let him investigate this matter, you can rest assured." ”

Lin Guiren was very happy to see that Yin Nanyao was willing to help him, and thanked Yin Nanyao, Yin Nanyao said: "You can go back first, and when there is news, the palace will inform you." ”

Lin Guiren then retired.

Ning Rongzhi went to find He Suoyi, and told He Suoyi about Lin Guiren going to find him, and said: "Queen Mother, you have been back for so many days, and she has not paid attention to it. ”

He Suoyi shook his head and said, "Not really, Lin Gui is simple and kind, it is impossible to do such a thing, so don't think about it anymore." ”

"But ......" Ning Rongzhi wanted to say something, but He Suoyi interrupted her: "Don't say any more, this palace has its own decision." Ning Rongzhi heard this, so he had to give up.

A day later, Yin Nanyao sent someone to inform Lin Guiren that things had progressed, and Lin Guiren was very happy and hurried to Hehuan Palace.

Yin Nanyao said: "The father of this palace came with a message, saying that Li Laodao, who was in Nanyuan that day, was killed and died. Lin Guiren was very surprised and said, "Isn't that death without proof, what can I do?" ”

Yin Nanyao smiled and said: "No, Li Laodao's death just shows that the queen mother was indeed framed, and the person behind the scenes was afraid that Li Laodao would leak the news, so he killed him, but who the mastermind behind the scenes was, I couldn't even find out, my father said that the mastermind behind the scenes should be extremely snobbish, and thoughtful, leaving no traces, and there is no way to find out." ”

Lin Guiren sighed and said, "Hey, what can I do then?" Yin Nanyao said: "Okay, let's go and tell the emperor about this matter first, at least let the emperor know that the queen mother is not a disaster, she was framed, and the rest of the things, and then slowly investigate, one day, this matter will come to light." ”

Lin Guiren nodded, so the two of them went to the imperial study together.

When they arrived at the imperial study, the two waited outside the hall, Lin Sheng went in to report, Shen Huo heard that Yin Nanyao and Lin Guiren had something important to tell him, so they announced that the two entered the palace.

Yin Nanyao and Lin Guiren entered the imperial study, Qi Qifu saluted, and Shen Huo said lightly: "Flat." Ask them what they were going to tell him.

Yin Nanyao opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has found out something. ”

Shen Huo asked Yin Nanyao: "I don't know what happened to you, Concubine Yin?" ”

Yin Nanyao slowly told Shen Huo about the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Huo was taken aback when he heard it, and he couldn't regret it, why didn't he think at that time, that Li Laodao hurriedly retired, there must be a ghost in his heart, otherwise he had made a meritorious service, and it was too late to ask for a reward, so why was he still in a hurry to leave?

Yin Nanyao said: "It's still Lin Guiren's smart mind and told the concubine, and the concubine sent someone to investigate, but I didn't expect that there was really a ghost." ”

Shen Huo nodded, thinking about his recent attitude towards He Suyi, and he couldn't regret it.
