Chapter 45: A grasshopper on a rope

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was becoming more and more tense, Fan Zi and Lian Renqing stood up to persuade each other.

Fan Zi said kind words to Song E: "When you go out, what is Mrs. doing with such a big temper, there are so many people here, you hit the snow branch not only to make outsiders see jokes, but then Xiangye will not rest with you, you still have to go around without eating?" ”

Chen Zhong heard it in his ears, and he only thought that he had suffered a dumb loss, and when he met people in the palace afterwards, he said that I was a bad woman, and I was a perfect match for Liu Huai'an, a big traitor.

Fan Shuyan's eyes were not on Chen Ling'er's body from beginning to end, he came to my side and said indifferently: "I pretend not to see things usually, but this time you have gone too far." ”

After finishing speaking, he left, and Lian Renqing said good things to me: "It's a misunderstanding after all, it's good that Madam isn't frightened, I'll arrange for you to be seated, okay?"

I glanced at Song E and Fan Zi, thinking that it would be okay not to eat this banquet, anyway, it would be boring to stay any longer, so I simply said goodbye to Lian Renqing: "I understand my brother-in-law's kindness, let's save this meal and eat it another day." ”

The coachman was still waiting outside the house, and I left without looking back.

On the way home, Huaizhu hesitated for a long time, and plucked up the courage to ask me: "Miss, do you know who Chen Ling'er wants?" ”

I was not interested in the matter of this green tea, leaned on the carriage, and replied, "I don't know, and I don't want to hear it." ”

"Oh." Huaizhu agreed, but after the carriage left for a few minutes, she still couldn't hold back, and pulled me and said, "No, I must tell you that it is the eldest prince, and she wants to blame you even if she falls into the water in order to please the eldest lady." ”

After listening to this, I instantly came to my senses and asked Huaizhu: "Chen Linger has taken a fancy to Fan Shuyan?" ”

"Hmm." Huaizhu nodded.

It's a little interesting, I subconsciously raised my palm and found that the other party's jade pendant was still in my hand.

I see, so Chen Ling'er tried her best to hurt me, because she wanted to slap Fan Fengchu, and she naively wanted to vent her evil anger.

Who knew that the goddess had a dream, and King Xiang had no intention, so there was a good show to watch now.

Huai Zhu leaned over and said, "It seems that Chen Ling'er framed you in order to make a lot of money, but he didn't get a lot of benefits from the eldest lady." ”

I threw the jade pendant out of the window and replied nonchalantly, "Isn't it?" ”

Before he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Liu Huai'an waiting here with Fu Bo.

I wonder if Liu Huai'an won't wait here for a while, and once he finds out that I haven't come back yet, he will kill Lian Mansion?

As it turned out, I guessed right.

The carriage stopped, and Fu Bo's voice came from outside: "Madame is back, and in half an hour later, Xiangye will go to Lian Mansion to pick up people in person." ”

Huaizhu lifted the curtain, I bent down and got out of the carriage with the hem of my skirt, and glanced at Liu Huai'an with a smile.

Is this afraid that I won't know about coming back if I go to have a meal? Or are you afraid that what rumors I hear will affect his prestige in my eyes?

In front of his subordinates, Liu Huai'an didn't have the same knowledge as me, and he didn't send Fu Bo until he entered the mansion, and it happened that I also had something to ask him, so I also broke Huaizhu, and the two walked side by side towards Xiaoxiang Courtyard.

It wasn't until there was no one around that Liu Huai'an accosted me with Yan Yuese: "Seeing that Madame's face is not very good, Madame went to Lian Mansion and didn't encounter anything, right?" ”

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you referring to?" ”

Liu Huai'an pretended to clear his throat and said, "I know that there have been some rumors in the DPRK and China recently....... I don't want you to go to Lianfu because I don't want you to hear bad things. ”

"Now that you have come back safely, I am relieved, why don't I wait for my wife to go back to the house to rest?"

Listening to the first half of his sentence, he is still serious, why is the second half of the sentence so caught off guard by the dead?

I sneered: "It's better not to work for you, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Liu Huai'an's expression was stunned, and he stood in place in a dilemma.

I said as I walked, "It's not impossible for me to tell you what happened in Lian Mansion today, provided that you have to tell me the truth." ”

When Liu Huai'an heard this, he quickly ran to me to block my way, and asked anxiously, "Did you really hear it?" ”

I nodded, "Quite a lot." ”

Liu Huai'an solemnly raised his hand and pointed to his study and said, "Madame, take a step here to speak." ”

When I entered the study, I was greeted by the smell of books.

I sent Huaizhu to brew two cups of good West Lake Longjing, plus some osmanthus cake and melon seeds.

After all, when I went to Lianfu this time, I didn't get any food, but I came back with a stomach.

Now I can't find something to eat to pad my stomach when I come back.

After Huaizhu prepared her things, she closed the door when she went out honestly.

As a result, she bumped into Yurao when she came out, and she inevitably talked to her, saying that Xiangye and Miss had rebuilt the old relationship, and now the two of them are locked in the study and are poetic.

Angry, Yurao ran back with red eyes and told Dai Shishi about it.

Dai Shishi, who was in the second trimester, thought that my old relationship with Liu Huai'an had rekindled, and she was so angry that she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, and she was haggard for a few days, and her spirit was gone.

I sat at Liu Huai'an's desk with the best Longjing tea, and asked him with a smile on his face: "In this way, what people often say is not wrong?" ”

Liu Huai'an stood at the table with his hands down, humbly taught: "It's true, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor has become suspicious of me, and today's favor is also changing rapidly, and the day is not safe." ”

I continued to ask him: "Who did Xiangye let hold the handle?" ”

Liu Huai'an thought seriously for a long time, and then sighed: "If I knew where the handle was, I wouldn't be so scared." ”

I drank the green tea and fell into deep thought, and began to seriously ponder whether I should find a way to meet Ling Yu and see if I could get something out of his mouth.

As a result, Liu Huai'an looked at my face and took the initiative to persuade: "I heard that Mrs. has a very personal relationship with the emperor, otherwise Mrs. will go to explore the situation for her husband?" ”

Now Liu Huai'an and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, and we don't want to sit still, let alone let the executioner's machete be on our necks all the time.

So this time, I chose to take the initiative and personally pierce this layer of window paper, wanting to know what kind of bend is here, so that it is too late to arrange for the run in advance.

Before dawn the next day, I changed into the costume of a little eunuch under Huaizhu's deliberate dress, and went to the palace in a carriage with Liu Huai'an.

After entering the palace, I honestly followed Liu Huai'an's side, seeing that he was about to go to the Jinluan Palace, I saw the time to run towards the harem, thinking about this point Ling Yu must be ready to go to the early court, and if he can't see him, he has to wait for him to come back from the next court.

So you have to find out where his bedroom is first, so that you can sneak in and wait for someone.

Because of the disguise, the journey was smooth and smooth. With my intuition, I quickly touched the Longquan Palace where Ling Yu lived, and happened to bump into Ling Yu wearing court clothes and going to the morning court surrounded by a group of eunuchs.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that it was done, but I heard a shrill and commanding voice in my ears: "You, newcomer, go and pour out this night pot." ”
