The silver moonlight shone on the edge of the window, and a piece of ink painting was cut off from the branches of the trees that covered the sky and tiles outside the window, and reflected on the solid floor.

Zhan Xinglan put the painting on the table, and said to Bai Rongyue with a solemn face:

"Mother, Lan'er dared to guess that the reason why the mother concubine was reluctant to step out of Penglai Hall was probably because she resented Your Majesty. Of course, if the mother concubine doesn't want to answer, she doesn't have to answer, just listen to Lan'er's words."

Bai Rongyue's eyes rippled slightly, "There are some words that I have buried deep in my heart for thirteen years, and I have never told anyone. Lan'er, you are the daughter of Ange, and I treat you as my own. Let's just say everything today."

"Mother."

"Lan'er, to be honest, for a long time after the accident, I hated Your Majesty very much. I hate why he doesn't trust me, and I hate him for imprisoning me here and tormenting me mentally and physically."

"I also thought about dying, but I still have Lin'er, and as a mother, it is my responsibility to protect my children. If I die, Lin'er will really become a motherless child."

"So, for Lin'er's sake, I cultivated Yeqing as a confidant, and I know exactly what is happening outside. Because of this, gradually, I don't hate Your Majesty so much. Anyway, I won't see him when I'm old and dead, so why should I be sad and miserable for him?"

"Actually, you guessed right, I don't want to go out, partly because I don't want to see him again. But this is only a small part, and the more important reason is that I am tired of endless fighting, and I don't want to let myself be an obstacle in Lin'er's path again."

"Although the Penglai Hall is not big, this side of the world is enough for me to live a leisurely and elegant life."

This is the truest thought in Bai Rongyue's heart.

As soon as the thoughts that had been accumulated in her heart for many years were vomited, Bai Rongyue actually felt extremely happy.

But for some reason, the corners of her eyes were moist.

Zhan Xinglan looked at Bai Rongyue, feeling the ups and downs of her emotions in her heart, but her heart seemed to be screwed together.

After going through something like that, how much courage and will it took to survive to persevere until now.

Zhan Xinglan adjusted his mood and said to Bai Rongyue:

"Lan'er finally understands what is going on in her mother's heart. But the mother concubine, there is a saying that a good person does not live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years. The queen has done a lot of evil, causing you to be separated from her children for thirteen years, and causing your daughter to be ruined after a famous family.

"With the current situation in the court, the crown prince has lost power, and His Majesty obviously relies more on Xuanlin, and most of the courtiers also support Xuanlin. I believe that after the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, Xuanlin's prestige will far exceed that of the crown prince."

"If Xuanlin is canonized as the crown prince soon, it will naturally be a good thing. But even if the crown prince falls, the queen is still the queen. With the queen's ruthlessness, will she let Xuanlin go?"

"What's more, when the time comes, the queen will definitely use her mother to suppress Xuanlin. Once the old news is reviewed, it will be another blow and hurt to the mother concubine and Xuanlin."

Zhan Xinglan said movingly, and Bai Rongyue also had a trace of hesitation.

"Lan'er, the concubine can see that you are sincere to Lin'er, so she thinks about him everywhere. But have you ever thought that all the palace maids and yellow doors of Penglai Hall were all wiped out by the queen, and Wen Shu was also killed by His Majesty on the day of the incident, and even Wen Shu's family members moved elsewhere. Do you know how difficult it is to reopen an old case?"

Zhan Xinglan bit his lip and raised his eyebrows, "It shouldn't be difficult to track down the traces of Wen Shu's family together with Lingyue Pavilion."

"Lingyue Pavilion?"

Bai Rongyue frowned, and there was a bad premonition in her heart.

"Lan'er doesn't dare to deceive her mother, in fact, Lan'er still has a double identity, which is the master of Lingyue Pavilion."

"What?"

"Don't be afraid, concubine, Ling Pavilion is no longer a killer organization. Since Master's death, I have put the Ling Pavilion in order, and now I am just doing some small business to make a living, and then I am just investigating some news."

Zhan Xinglan does his duty to do small business, but he runs in Beijing

The largest banker.

"That's good, that's good." Bai Rongyue nodded, but she still instructed uneasily: "Lan'er can't tell outsiders about this matter, otherwise there will be another uproar. If he hurts himself, he will make his mother and Xuanlin worry about death."

"Hmm." Zhan Xinglan responded a little helplessly.

She has always been comfortable in the face of others, but in the face of Bai Rongyue's mother-like advice, she can only accept it clumsily.

"But even if the mountain and Lingyue Pavilion haven't found out the place where the Wen Shu family lived, they may not know what happened back then."

"I'm afraid the concubine doesn't know, in addition to Wen Shu being instructed by the queen to frame the concubine, he also had an affair with the queen."

"What? How dare the queen ......?"

Zhan Xinglan made a gesture of silence and said mysteriously:

"It's ridiculous, but it's real. Wen Shu was greedy for money, so he deliberately approached the queen. Presumably, he also looted a lot of the queen's hairpin ring jewels during the time he was with the queen."

"If you can find Wen Shu's family, you can know whether they have pawned and sold some hairpin ring jewelry over the years. The flow of the palace into the people, and from the hands of Wen Shu's family, the pawn shop's account books are the best ironclad evidence of the collusion between Wen Shu and the queen."

Bai Rongyue's eyes rolled, thinking that this was indeed the case.

"That's a good idea. However, even if there is such a certificate, the queen can say that those things were given to Wen Shu by Wen Shu when she was on an errand in the Lizheng Palace."

"Don't worry, concubine, this is just the first step in Lan'er's plan. Once these evidences are circulated, both the people and His Majesty will be more or less suspicious of the queen. In order to clear up the relationship, the queen can indeed use this set of rhetoric to vaguely pass the past, but trust has collapsed, and the queen will definitely mess with herself."

"At that time, Lan'er will begin the second step of the plan. His Majesty has been deeply disgusted with the queen over the years, and he has no longer favored any of his concubines, so he must have felt guilty and old feelings for his mother. Therefore, Lan'er wants to learn a craft from her mother, and this craft must be able to carry the good memories shared between her mother and His Majesty."

"Lan'er will try her best to show this craft in front of His Majesty, as long as His Majesty still has a mother concubine in his heart, there will definitely be some unusual reactions. Even if His Majesty doesn't react, Lan'er will spread the rumors that His Majesty will never forget his mother."

"The queen has such a small belly, she can't help but be mad when she hears these rumors. His Majesty is extremely disgusted with the queen, and he will not bother to explain to her whether it is true or not. As long as the queen can't sit still, Lan'er can start the third step of the plan."

"When the queen can't sit still and wants to explain everything to His Majesty, Lan'er will send the top master of Lingyue Pavilion to drug the queen's diet to ensure that the queen is exposed in front of His Majesty."

Bai Rongyue looked at Zhan Xinglan in surprise, and was so shocked that she couldn't say anything for a while.

"Mother? What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, nothing." Bai Rongyue came back to her senses and smiled with satisfaction, "I was just thinking that if this world is not dominated by men, Yilan'er's calculation will definitely become a generation of wise men."

"The mother concubine has won the award, Lan'er is just thinking of some bad moves. But how can you be worthy of a vicious person like the queen if you don't damage her."

Zhan Xinglan smiled playfully and tilted his head to look at Bai Rongyue.

"Did the concubine agree?"

"Lan'er has thought about every step so seamlessly, what else can I disagree with? But ......"

"Don't worry, when the matter is done, the mother concubine can avoid His Majesty on the grounds that her heart is like ashes. It really didn't work, so Lan'er thought of some ways to let His Majesty complete some things that would never be completed, and if she couldn't finish it, she wouldn't be able to see her mother. In this way, the concubine does not have to worry about being harassed by His Majesty."

Bai Rongyue smiled slightly, and scratched the bridge of Zhan Xinglan's upturned nose dotingly.

"You, so cunning, no wonder the queen was defeated by you. Then do as you say, and the mother will fully cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Princess."

Zhan Xinglan hugged Bai Rongyue excitedly.

For the first time in thirteen years, Bai Rongyue was hugged, first stunned for a moment, and then smiled and hugged Zhan Xinglan.

The two hugged each other and laughed, this scene was more like a mother and daughter than a mother and daughter.

According to Zhan Xinglan's plan, the first thing she has to do now is to learn Bai Rongyue's craft.

And she only has five days left.

Five days later, Empress Yue's body had completely removed the toxins from the Huo Ronghua, and she was about to leave the palace.

When the time comes, it will not be so convenient to come to Bai Rongyue again.

"Mother, where are you taking me?"

Zhan Xinglan looked blankly at the dark road, and there was only a lantern in front of him to illuminate the surroundings.

"Naturally, I'll take you to learn a craft."

Bai Rongyue led Zhan Xinglan to an attic.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and Zhan Xinglan looked up at the plaque in the attic.

"Moon Picking Pavilion."

"Yes, come, come in."

Bai Rongyue pushed open the door, and the room was pitch black.

Even if there was a lantern lit up, it was impossible to see what was in the room.

Out of instinct, Zhan Xinglan walked in with a slight wince, and then froze in place.

However, Bai Rongyue walked to a wall with her familiarity with this place, and lit a beautiful candlestick on the wall with the candle flame in the lantern.

All of a sudden, the house was brightly lit.

With the place where the candle flame was lit by Bai Rongyue as the center point, the flames spread rapidly to both sides along the candlesticks connected on the wall at a rapid speed.

When you get there, there are candles on the walls of the house every two meters.

The whole room was so bright that Zhan Xinglan almost couldn't open his eyes.

"Oh my God, that's pretty good."

Zhan Xinglan looked around, in addition to the magical candle flames on the wall, there were also exquisite hidden weapons everywhere.

Now only the word amazement can describe Zhan Xinglan's current mood.

Bai Rongyue pulled the stunned Zhan Xinglan to a corner.

In the corner is a metal object shaped like a peach blossom.

However, the object was covered with a thick layer of dust, and Zhan Xinglan couldn't tell what it was.

She was about to ask Bai Rongyue what this thing was, but she heard Bai Rongyue say in a deep voice:

"Lan'er, this is what I'm going to teach you to do."
