Qingzhi looked at Qingdai who was in a hurry, and asked a little strangely, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qing Dai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them, stopped her hurried steps, and said, "I heard that the queen's birthday banquet has already ended, but you and the master have not come back for a long time, and I am a little worried." ”

Lu Yuning smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

Entering the Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yuning drank the hot tea brought by Qing Dai, and then yawned and went to take a nap.

Lu Yuning slept very deeply this night, and when she woke up, it was almost time for dinner, Lu Yuning looked at the dim light in the room, and lay on the bed in a daze for a while before calling Qingdai to come in and serve her to dress.

After getting dressed, Lu Yuning simply pulled her hair up, took out a book and flipped through it.

About half an hour later, Zhou Man hurriedly walked in from outside with a food box, and after handing the food box to Qing Dai, Zhou Man said to Lu Yuning: "Master, the little one heard a news that I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"What's the news?"

Zhou Man said: "The news says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have an accident. ”

Lu Yuning frowned slightly when she heard this, when she saw the prince in the imperial garden at noon, wasn't the prince okay? However, at that time, the prince only brought a little eunuch with him, if something happened to His Royal Highness the prince, would it be something that happened at that time?

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuning asked Zhou Man.

Zhou Mandao: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have fallen into the lake...... People are gone. ”

Zhou Man said that he was not very sure, after all, the person who told him the news was not very sure, and the person who told him the news also heard it from others, and he did not see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disappear with his own eyes.

And there is no definite news in the palace at this time, so he doesn't know if this news is nonsense or true.

He felt that the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell into the lake and drowned in broad daylight was a bit unbelievable.

That's His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is not an inconspicuous little person in the palace, how could he fall into the lake and drown in broad daylight?

Lu Yuning's eyebrows furrowed a little, she thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince she met at noon, and she had a not very good feeling in her heart.

Looking at the food on the table, Lu Yuning didn't have any appetite, so he just casually grabbed two chopsticks and let people serve them.

As soon as the food on the table was taken down, the father-in-law of Jianzhang Palace came to the door.

"Father-in-law Yuanen, why are you here?" Zhou Man greeted him with a smile.

Yuan En's face was not very good-looking, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "The emperor asked the little one to invite Concubine Zhuang to go to Fengyi Palace." ”

Lu Yuning knew that Yuan En came to invite her to Fengyi Palace, so she didn't ask too much, nor did she redress her makeup, she only put on a thick cloak and went out with Yuan En.

Walking on the way to Fengyi Palace, Yuan En waited for a long time and didn't wait for Lu Yuning to speak, so he had to take the initiative to mention Lu Yuning and said: "Concubine Zhuang doesn't have to be nervous when she sees the emperor and the queen later, the emperor believes in Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, and you come to ask about the situation when you come to Zhuang Concubine Niangniang." ”

Lu Yuning nodded, and thanked Yuan En: "Thank you Yuan En's father-in-law for mentioning it." ”

As soon as Lu Yuning entered Fengyi Palace, the queen mother pounced on her like crazy, "You slut!" ”

Although Lu Yuning reacted quickly and dodged for a while, she was still grabbed by the queen's arm.

"Queen Mother!"

"Master!"

The people in the hall who reacted, Qing Dai and others hurriedly stepped forward to pull the queen away, but the queen pulled Lu Yuning's arm tightly with both hands, and those people couldn't pull her away without hurting the queen.

While struggling to pinch Lu Yuning's neck, the queen scolded Lu Yuning angrily: "Say, are you a slut who harms Cong'er?" ”

"Queen!" Luo Chengjing looked at the queen who looked like a mad demon, and said coldly: "Let go!" ”

When the queen heard Luo Chengjing's cold voice, she froze for a moment, the strength in her hand loosened slightly, and the palace people took the opportunity to quickly pull the queen away.

Luo Chengjing walked up to Lu Yuning, looked down at the wound on Lu Yuning's hand that was cut by the queen's fingernails and the red scratches on his wrist, although the expression on his face was still gloomy, his tone was a little softer, and said, "Let the imperial doctor help you deal with the wound first." ”

Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way, the emperor is looking for a concubine to ask about the concubine seeing the prince in the imperial garden at noon, right?" ”

Luo Chengjing didn't insist anymore when he heard Lu Yuning say this, but nodded and said, "Yes, you and I have a good talk about the situation when you met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at noon." ”

"Okay." After Lu Yuning answered, she began to talk to Luo Chengjing about meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at noon.

In fact, there was nothing to say, she only said a few words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at noon, and the two separated.

After listening to what Lu Yuning said, Luo Chengjing nodded, and asked again, "Did you meet other people when you left from the Imperial Garden?" ”

Lu Yuning shook his head and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the concubines haven't met anyone else. ”

Luo Chengjing frowned when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more, but said to Lu Yuning: "Okay, I know, you can go back first." ”

As soon as Luo Chengjing's words fell, he was violently opposed by the queen.

"No, Your Majesty, Cong'er is your only son-in-law, how can you let go of the murderer who killed him so easily?"

Luo Chengjing looked at the yelling queen, and the suppressed emotions on his face all turned into impatience. He commanded the palace people in the palace, "Take the queen back to her own bed." ”

Liuli responded, and said softly to the queen with a slight force in her hand: "Queen Mother, go back and rest first, the emperor is here, and this matter will definitely be investigated." ”

"Don't move the main palace, the main palace will not return to the dormitory!" The queen struggled and snapped.

"Queen Mother......" Liuli was about to persuade a few more words, when a report from the little eunuch suddenly came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Concubine An is here."

Lu Yuning raised her eyebrows slightly, and chose not to leave for the time being between leaving and not leaving.

Luo Chengjing glanced at Lu Yuning, who was still standing there, and didn't say anything, but said to the little eunuch who came in to report, "Let her in." ”

After Concubine An came in, she didn't seem to see the queen who was disheveled and disheveled, like a crazy woman, calmly saluted Luo Chengjing, and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

Luo Chengjing stood there and looked at Concubine An lightly, and after a while, he spoke: "Was the prince called by you to the lake today?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it is true that the concubine called the prince to go there."
