Chapter Forty-Eight: Suspicion

When it came to this, Queen Wen and Gu Guifei both said goodbye and left.

In the blink of an eye, in the huge Shoukang Palace, only the queen mother and Lu Bingzhen were left.

Lu Bingzhen held the hand of the Queen Mother and asked her to sit down on the rosewood seven-screen screen Arhat bed, while he sat at the Queen Mother's hand.

"Imperial Grandmother, it's hot today, do you have a good appetite?" Lu Bingzhen smiled and cared about the queen mother's body. "The mourning family is old, and you don't need you little ladies and gentlemen, and your appetite is not good. The mourning family is old. โ€

"Imperial grandmother, you just have a poor appetite in the bitter summer recently, your hair is black, where are you old?" The queen mother smiled when she heard this, "The crown princess will make the mourning family happy." The grandmother next to her also joked, "The slave and maid are also telling the truth when they look at Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Your hair is still the same as it was twenty years ago, jet black. โ€

For a moment, the entire Shoukang Palace burst into laughter.

But another little eunuch with a hurried face and a sad face walked in. He saw that the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess were smiling happily, and hesitated, not knowing whether he should step forward to report the matter.

After wandering for half a cup of tea, in the end, the little eunuch gritted his teeth and stepped forward to reply.

"The Empress Dowager, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the eldest princess of Ruyang said that the prince of Rongde County, who entered the palace together today, has disappeared for some reason, and now wants to search in the palaces, please ask the Empress Dowager for permission."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bingzhen subconsciously looked at the Queen Mother, and sure enough, the Queen Mother had already frowned deeply. "What does the eldest princess of Ruyang mean is to search the Shoukang Palace of the mourning family?"

The little eunuch also heard the unhappiness in the queen mother's words, but he could only bite the bullet and go down. Lu Bingzhen noticed that the little eunuch's gaze seemed to be coming to his side, and he heard the little eunuch say in a trembling tone, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she saw the prince of Rongde County going to the direction of the East Palace, and wanted to ask Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to be accommodating and let people go to the East Palace to find out." โ€

The queen mother was already tired of the eldest princess of Ruyang. When he was in power, he was arrogant and domineering, and no one looked down on him, even his own mother-in-law. Now that His Majesty ignores her, she begins to cry again that she is pitiful. It seems that everyone in this world owes her glory, and everyone should pull her when she is down.

Who in this royal family is not ups and downs, as dull as Gu Guifei also knows how to endure when His Majesty pampers other concubines, why does she always feel that as long as she cries, everyone should help her.

What's more, the queen mother has already decided to stand in line with the prince, and now the eldest princess of Ruyang is obviously coming at the prince. The queen mother naturally won't bother with the eldest princess of Ruyang.

Thinking so, the Queen Mother also said so, "The eldest princess is not dazzled, she has been listening to the drama in Changyin Pavilion, where did she come from to see Rongde County." The East Palace is not an ordinary harem, it is where the prince is, and there are many subordinate officials in the East Palace, and the Junjun of Rongde County must also be measured, and he will not go over there. โ€

But the queen mother can reprimand this little eunuch, but she can't stop His Majesty's will. After this little eunuch left resignedly, the next one came the big eunuch beside His Majesty.

"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the Empress Niang, Gu Guifei Niangniang and the eldest princess of Ruyang have all gone to the East Palace. His Majesty said that the East Palace is the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and let the old slave come and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Princess to come over. โ€

Acting in such a hurry, Lu Bingzhen had a bad premonition. The Queen Mother couldn't either, so she could only let Lu Bingzhen go to the East Palace with her.

Unexpectedly, the great eunuch sent by His Majesty was still preparing to take steps, and after Lu Bingzhen sat down, he only felt that the layers of veils were quite obscuring his vision. Who is with Lu Bingzhen today is the four people of Bingbing, Rongxue, Zhu Persimmon and Snow Tea. Therefore, although Lu Bingzhen was worried, he didn't think that the other party could make any big trouble.

But this road is getting stranger and stranger, and before Lu Bingzhen noticed that something was wrong, Zhu Persimmon, who was very familiar with the terrain in the palace, shouted, "Stop, this road is not going to the East Palace, where do you want to take Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess with you under the pretense of Your Majesty's will?" โ€œ

Where is the little eunuch who is willing to stop, and when he hears the words, there is wind under his feet. Zhu Persimmon and Xue Chakong have a body of martial arts, but they are afraid that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is still above the step, so they can only restrain their hands and feet. It was Lu Bingzhen who sat firmly on the chariot and signaled the four of them to be calm and not impatient, which calmed them.

Seeing that Bu Yin carried Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess into Gu Guifei's Changchun Palace, the four of them were very vigilant.

Gu Guifei greeted her with a spring breeze on her face, "Oh, why is Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess here, what a coincidence." The main palace is trying to ask someone to invite Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to come over. โ€

"I don't dare to take the invitation of the mother, but the big eunuch beside His Majesty said that several elders are in the East Palace. Erchen hurried back to the East Palace to serve the elders, so he didn't stay with Niangniang for longer. After that, Lu Bingzhen turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Gu Guifei.

Gu Guifei's eyes flashed with pity and malice, and there was obvious schadenfreude in her tone. "Why should the crown princess be in a hurry, the matter of serving the elders will naturally be shared with you by the sisters in the East Palace in the future. The palace invited the princess to come over, but it was to give the East Palace a thoroughfare.

Hey, that's something you can't do. To be an elder is always to have the face of the younger generation, and this is especially true for the prince of a country like His Royal Highness the Prince. Tell me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too, and he is in love with the monarch of Rongde County, and if he wants to marry the monarch of Rongde County, he will say it earlier. His Majesty is his father, and the eldest princess of Ruyang and the county monarch of Rongde don't mind being concubines, so they will naturally fulfill him.

Crown princess, this palace is also here, you have to look away a little. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a nobleman of Tianhuang, so he naturally wants three wives and four concubines, and a group of palace attendants, you must not drill the horns of the bull in such things, otherwise, you will still suffer. โ€œ

In the end, the sour water of jealousy came out. Why is the crown princess so lucky, with a high family background and good looks, married to such a noble person as His Royal Highness the Prince, she is willing to promise her in public that she will be single-minded in this life. Thinking about it again, in recent days, His Majesty was fascinated by those little goblins and never came to Changchun Palace again, Gu Guifei was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Now that I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also stealing outside, Gu Guifei jumped out as soon as she knew that His Majesty was just using her as a chess piece, and she would be disgusted and disgusting to the Crown Princess.

Gu Guifei said these words quickly and quickly. Lu Bingzhen didn't react when she heard this, and waited for her to pour out the matter like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Lu Bingzhen was so unhurried that he brushed away Gu Guifei's hand that was tightly gripping her wrist, and Gu Guifei only felt that she was pushed away by an irresistible force.

Then, Gu Guifei saw the crown princess with a calm expression and a peaceful salute, and her mouth was neither humble nor arrogant, "The retainer will retire first." โ€

She didn't even bother to think about a reason, so she was ready to turn around and leave. Gu Guifei wanted to stop her, but she didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess didn't need the help of the maids around her, so she easily pushed away the eunuchs and guards guarding the door and walked out of Changchun Palace.

Only then did Gu Guifei remember that His Majesty didn't even give her a will to let Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, but only vaguely asked her to keep Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and deliberately allocated dozens of capable guards to Gu Guifei.

In other words, she is not even qualified to forcibly detain the crown princess and prevent Her Royal Highness from leaving Changchun Palace. And it was Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess who did it, not the maid beside her, and she couldn't treat the maid for the crime of disrespecting the concubine.

Everyone in Changchun Palace could only watch dumbfounded as the crown princess separated from the guards and eunuchs as if she had entered a no-man's land, and left from Changchun Palace calmly, as if Gu Guifei really just invited her to be a guest.

But Lu Bingzhen, who walked out of Changchun Palace, changed her face suddenly, she already knew from Gu Guifei's sour words what His Majesty and the eldest princess of Ruyang wanted to do together. Thanks to Gu Guifei's impatient show-off mentality, she had already said the same thing in her words.

"Cut the ice, melt the snow, you two go to the queen's palace quickly. I'm afraid that the queen is still in the dark at the moment. Zhu Persimmon, Xue Cha, the two of you go to the East Palace with me, I am afraid that Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Ruyang, and the prince of Rongde County are all in the East Palace at this moment. โ€

Lu Bingzhen's steps were hurried, her face was condensed, and she couldn't tell why she was so anxious at the moment. She kept comforting herself, Qing Yan would not be interested in Rongde County, he would not marry Rongde County, even if Qingyan wanted to marry Na Liangdi's side concubine, he would definitely marry the Wen family first, and he would not marry Rongde County Jun at this juncture.

Unexpectedly, before they reached the East Palace, the three of them collided head-on with the prince and others.

"Ah Rui, I heard that you were detained in Changchun Palace, but were you injured?" Facing Xiao Min's anxious eyes, Lu Bingzhen couldn't help but rush over and hug Xiao Min, "Qingyan, I'm fine, but it's you, did they frame you?" โ€œ

Xiao Min didn't expect Lu Bingzhen to make such a move, they hadn't seen each other for many days, and their thoughts were increasing day by day. Xiao Min hugged Lu Bingzhen back hard, and comforted her gently, but she felt that she really couldn't think of it because she had to spend the night in the study these days.

And right now, Xiao Min is even more worried about whether Lu Bingzhen's move is because he was wronged in Changchun Palace, "It's okay, it's okay, Ah Rui, it's okay to be alone." Have you been wronged, and have you done something to Concubine Gu? Speaking of Gu Guifei, a trace of anger flashed in Xiao Min's eyes.

It's just a tool for His Majesty to weigh his power, and he dares to show off his might in front of the Queen Mother and Ah Rui. It seems that he is going to free up his hands to clean up the Gu family first.

Concubine Gu, who didn't know that her jealousy was going to ruin the future of the Gu family, was worried about how to explain this matter to His Majesty at the moment.

At this moment, in Xiao Min's arms, Lu Bingzhen only felt peaceful, as if all the wind and rain had been calmed. A smile appeared on her face, and Lu Bingzhen was just about to say something, when she suddenly touched something Xiao Min's sleeve.

That seems to be ยทยทยทยทยทยท A small beaded flower for a woman.
