Is it the fifth princess?

Su Liuye's eyes sank, and then she thought of the five princesses who were also in Lingyuan Temple, and probably only the five princesses would target her like this.

But she couldn't figure out why.

Could it be because Liu Yuan's investigation of the dragon pattern jade pendant was known to the fifth princess, and the five princesses thought that she had instructed her, so they wanted to get rid of her?

Thinking of this, Su Liuye's brows jumped suddenly, this may be the truth, otherwise she really can't think of why the fifth princess would target her like this.

The prince in the palace had no intersection with them, and his identities were very different, but he detained Qin Lian as if he was deliberately embarrassed, asking her to make amends for a broken jade pendant.

Looking at Qin Lian's frightened pale face, Su Liuye felt angry at the same time.

If Xiao Wu didn't find them in time, what would happen to them? Will you lose your life because of breaking the jade pendant of the second prince?

She had no doubt that Eunuch Fang Cai was stopping Qin Lian and wanted Qin Lian's life.

This treatment may be because of the words of the fifth princess.

And the reason why the fifth princess targeted her, nine times out of ten, was that she investigated the dragon pattern jade pendant. As long as the matter of Yu Pei is investigated, maybe you can know whether the fifth princess knows that Zhou Yun'er is not the county lord at all, and she will bring her into the palace to deceive the queen mother.

This is a great sin.

It's just that it's all her conjecture at the moment, and she hasn't met with the fifth princess today......

Back at the house, the sky had turned gray, and it was estimated that it was going to snow again.

Qin Lian was in a trance all the way because of the fright in the temple, and after returning to the house, she didn't say a word, with timidity in her eyes.

"Little Wu, you take Lianlian back to rest first."

Su Liuye knew that she must have been frightened.

"Okay, Mrs. Chu."

Xiao Wu nodded and helped Qin Lian to walk towards the room.

Su Liuye wanted to go to Liu Yuan, but found that there was no one in his room, and after asking, he found out that he hadn't come back at all in the past few days.

Although Liu Yuan said that he lived here, the Liu family still had several houses in the capital, so he didn't have to come to the house often.

If he didn't come, Su Liuye wouldn't know where to look for him.

"Uncle Zhou, didn't Gongzi Chu come back either?"

"Nope."

Zhou Bo said, "Gongzi Chu was still there a few days ago, but he went out these days, and he said that he had some things to do. Gongzi Chu didn't tell me when he would come back before leaving, Mrs. Chu, do you have something to find Gongzi Chu? ”

"It's something."

Su Liuye glanced at the closed door and saw that there was no one in the house, and she couldn't do anything.

Although Chu San lived here, she didn't know much about Chu San, and she didn't even know his full name.

It's just that Chu San does know a lot of things related to the palace, and Su Liuye really doesn't know who to look for except for Liu Yuan and Chu San now.

"Chu Gongzi didn't say anything to me before leaving, if you really have something to find Chu Gongzi, then I'll tell Chu Gongzi when he comes back."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you, Uncle Zhou."

Su Liuye had no choice but to go back first, and when she went to the kitchen, she happened to see Old Man Lu smoking dry tobacco outside.

She opened her mouth, thought about it for a while, and still didn't go over to tell Old Man Lu.

Old Man Lu was reluctant to tell her more about the palace from the beginning, and even if she asked, she might not tell him.

She was almost certain that the person who did it to her was the fifth princess, she couldn't be so passive all the time, she had to take the initiative to investigate this matter and seize the handle of the fifth princess, otherwise she would be suppressed sooner or later.

"Girl, do you have something to do with me?"

Su Liuye was about to leave, but Old Man Lu suddenly spoke leisurely.

Su Liuye turned around, only to see Old Man Lu sitting up from the recliner, a pair of wrinkled eyes staring straight at her, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see her through easily.

Su Liuye's heart sank slightly, it was the first time he had seen Old Man Lu show such a look.

"Grandpa Lu, you ......"

"Come on! Old man, I knew you had something to ask me. ”

The old man snorted, withdrew his gaze, and picked up the dry cigarette again.

Hearing him say this, Su Liuye didn't hesitate any longer, and went over to ask, "Grandpa Lu, do you know who the fifth princess is now?" ”

"The Fifth Princess?"

Old Man Lu frowned, and after a while, he pointed her in the direction, "Do you mean the princess of the Five Princes' Mansion over there?" ”

"That's right."

The direction that Old Man Lu was pointing in was the Five Kings' Mansion. Su Liuye nodded and said, "Old man, do you know these things?" ”

"What are you asking the Fifth Princess about?" Old Man Lu looked at her suspiciously.

Su Liuye was slow for a moment, but still didn't tell Old Man Lu what had happened in the past few days, only said that she went to the Five Princes' Mansion to cook that day, and the Fifth Princess didn't seem to be satisfied with her.

Hearing this, Old Man Lu pondered for a while, and the dry smoke in his hand hit the chair and poured out the soot inside.

"I don't know much, I only know that the fifth princess is a relative of the queen mother, and she was deeply liked by the queen mother before she got married, so she was received in the palace, and later was married to the fifth prince by the first emperor."

"The fifth princess's maiden family does have some power, she is one of the generals guarding the frontier, she has been loyal for generations, and the fifth princess is a concubine. At that time, when I married the fifth prince, the scene was beautiful, I heard that the fifth princess's mother gave her a secret guard, and I don't know if it's true, I only heard about it in the palace. ”

"Dark Guard?" Su Liuye frowned.

"yes, anyway, I only heard about it back then." Old Man Lu took a big puff of his cigarette. I don't know what I remembered, there was some affection on his face.

"But nine times out of ten, I think it's true. Before the fifth princess married the fifth prince, there were several side concubines in the five princes' mansions, one of which was particularly arrogant, as if it was a dancing girl given to our country by a neighboring country, and later the first emperor gave her to the fifth prince. ”

"That dancing girl is beautiful, and she is also deeply favored by the five princes. It's just that this dancing girl doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and she has relied on her favor several times, fighting openly and secretly with the five princesses, and finally ended up with a tragic death. Old Man Lu said, "At the beginning, I was on an errand in the fifth prince in the same village, and I chatted with me on vacation, and I remember it until now." ”

"It is said that the dancing girl died in a miserable state, and the people sent by the government could not conduct an autopsy, so they hurriedly wrapped a straw mat and threw the person away."

The princess is just a backyard woman, but she can use such vicious means to get rid of the hands of disobedience, which is unheard of in the palace.

Old Man Lu was surprised when he heard it, and remembered it for so many years, "At that time, the fifth prince was not in the house, and many people said that this matter had nothing to do with the five princesses, but I told me in the same village that on the night of the incident, the cry of the dancing queen came from the courtyard of the fifth princess, ouch, it was miserable." ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Lu still had some lingering palpitations.
