Chapter 23 Ask for Otherwise

When Lan Yin walked out of Guo's mansion in a daze, the sun had already hung in the sky.

She looked up at the unusually dazzling sunlight, felt pain in her eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"What's wrong with you?"

An umbrella was covered on top of Lan Yin's head, and she looked along the edge of the umbrella to see Cui Yuanzao.

"Why are you here?"

Yes, Cui Yuanzao himself wants to ask himself, why did he come here?

He was dealing with government affairs in Dali Temple, and he was soulless all morning, and finally came to Lingcong to find him, and he knew that Lan Yin had not returned to Yiningfang's practice.

He couldn't sit still anymore.

Ling Cong told him that that night, he didn't see Guo Shangshu, and something big seemed to have happened in Guo's mansion.

Originally, it was best to let Lan Yin send Guo Jiao, but now he was faintly worried, obviously Lan Yin's strength was extremely high, and there should be no trouble.

Cui Yuanzao couldn't stay in Dali Temple anyway, so he immediately asked Lingcong to prepare a carriage and came to the gate of Guo's mansion.

For fear of attracting the attention of Guo Fu, he waited in the carriage until Lan Yin came out in despair.

Seeing Lan Yin crying, Cui Yuanzao felt a dull pain slowly spreading from his heart.

Cui Yuanzao picked up an umbrella and put it on top of Lan Yin's head, trying to block her from the sun, but it may be in vain.

"Cui Yuanzao, I'm going to enter the palace!"

————

Before a cup of tea, Princess Hanyang sent away the noisy Guo Jiao, leaving only Lan Yin.

"Lady Yang, I have a reluctant request, can I invite you into the palace to assist Concubine Guo Xian." Princess Hanyang stood up from her seat and saluted Lan Yin.

Lan Yin was frightened by the appearance of Princess Hanyang, and hurriedly stood up and helped the princess up.

"Why did the princess say that?"

"Mrs. Yang, do you know, who is the most favored concubine in the saint today?"

This stumped Lan Yin, she was not familiar with the world outside the mountain gate, let alone the affairs of the palace? Lan Yin could only shake his head.

"Today's saint is the most favored king and talent."

Princess Hanyang saw that Lan Yin was still looking at her in confusion, and could only say: "Guo Jiao has a cousin, and now she is Concubine Guo Xian in the palace. You know the Empress Dowager Guo, right? ”

Lan Yin was confused by Princess Hanyang's words, but Empress Dowager Guo, she still knew, after all, she was already the Empress Dowager of the Three Dynasties.

Empress Dowager Guo was the original concubine of Emperor Xianzong, but after Xianzong ascended the throne, she was not crowned, and Princess Guo at that time could only be condescended to the position of concubine. After Mu Zong ascended the throne, Guo Guifei finally became the Empress Dowager Guo, but Mu Zong died soon after, and then went through the three dynasties of Jingzong, Wenzong, and Wuzong, and the throne has been passed down among the grandchildren of the Empress Dowager Guo, so the Empress Dowager Guo became the Empress Dowager of the Three Dynasties, and her status was respected.

"Empress Dowager Guo has been haunted by some past events, and she empathizes with Concubine Guo's situation now." Princess Hanyang is implicitly authentic.

This time, Lan Yin understood. She had heard some miscellaneous dramas, talking about the affairs of the Xianzong Dynasty.

Guo Guifei is the second daughter of Princess Shengping and married Emperor Xianzong, but Emperor Xianzong does not love her, and has always refused to make her the queen, nor does he want to pass on the position of prince to his son-in-law.

Listening to the meaning of Princess Hanyang, could it be that today's Concubine Guo Xian also encountered what the Empress Dowager Guo had encountered?

So what did Princess Hanyang do with her? She won't compete for favor!

"Although there are several princes in today's saint, but they are not liked by him, the empress dowager hopes that Concubine Guo Xian can give birth to a prince with the blood of the surname Guo quickly, so she gives a charming pearl."

"Mei Zhu?" Lan Yin seemed to have heard the name.

"The legend of Meizhu is the inner dan of the thousand-year-old snake demon, who can charm men. Legend has it that Xuanzong's Yang Guifei once had one, but after the change of Ma Weipo, Meizhu was lost, and this one in the hands of the Empress Dowager Guo, I don't know where it came from. Princess Hanyang told the story.

"The princess has said so much, and I still don't know what I can do for you?" Lan Yin said confusedly.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Princess Hanyang poured a cup of tea for Lan Yin, and said, "Giving Meizhu is a good thing for Concubine Guo Xian, but the bad thing is that for some reason Wang Cairen learned about it, Wang Cairen was clamoring to see this Meizhu, and the sage took pity on her, and ordered Concubine Guo Xian to give Meizhu to Wang Cairen to play with." ”

"Is this okay?" Can a talented person handle a concubine?

Princess Hanyang said indifferently: "The things in the palace are naturally different from the outside, and it all depends on the sage's will. The sage once wanted to make a king and a talented person, but the ministers strongly opposed it, so the matter was stopped. ”

Lan Yin smacked her tongue and nodded silently.

"It's not that it's difficult to do now, it's that Meizhu is gone. If Concubine Guo Xian can't take out the beads again, she will become a disobedient order. ”

"The princess wants me to get back to Meizhu?" Lan Yin guessed.

"Yang Niangzi and Cui Pingshi teamed up to solve the case of the painter of Zhao Jinggong Temple, I have heard that this time Yang Niangzi rescued Gillian by herself, and Yang Niangzi's martial arts are not weak, I really can't find a more suitable person than you."

"This is all Cui Yuanzao's work." Lan Yin knew that she was solving the case, so she could be mediocre, and she didn't dare to answer Princess Hanyang's words.

Princess Hanyang had already guessed that Lan Yin would shirk it, so she said: "Lady Yang is now discouraged, if you want to marry into a family like Qinghe Cui, it is really difficult, but if you can enter the palace as a female official for a period of time, and have the royal family to endorse you, then say something else." Princess Hanyang looked at Lan Yin with a smile.

Lan Yin felt a chill on her body, she was not really a Yang lady, and she didn't care if she could marry into the Qinghe Cui family, but if Princess Hanyang doubted her identity and was bent on exposing her, she would be guilty of bullying the king.

Princess Hanyang saw that Lan Yin was still hesitating, so she said again: "The palace is the place where power in this world gathers, and your Aya A-Niang died in an unknown way, don't you want to avenge them?" ”

Lan Yin was struck by lightning, Princess Hanyang was talking about Yang Yin and his wife, but in Lan Yin's ears, it was her own Aye A-Niang, she escaped from the division and came to Chang'an with all her heart, isn't it to find the truth about Aye-A-Niang's death? Isn't it to restore Aya's innocence? Where else could you get closer to this path to truth than the Royal Palace?

"But at the command of the eldest princess." Lan Yin took it as a courtesy.

"Good boy." Princess Hanyang helped Lan Yin up and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged in the palace, what do you think of the position of secretary?" It is also convenient for you to check the entry and exit records of the books and books of the palace. ”

"Princess Xie."

There is simply no better position than this, it is convenient for Lan Yin to consult the classics, or it is not necessary to find the list of officials from more than ten years ago, thinking of this, Lan Yin bowed his head deeply.

Princess Hanyang diligently helped Lan Yin up and smiled, "I hope you don't let me down." ”
