The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 36

Seeing that the key to the palace gate was about to be released, Duan Xinglang, who was urgently summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, felt uneasy.

Before leaving, his father Duan Linqian warned that no matter what happened, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and he must not make mistakes.

In particular, if the queen mother asked about her senior brother Cai Cha, she must not say too much.

As the governor of Shanxi Province, Lu Yunli returned to Beijing privately without an edict. It is a great kindness for the Holy Majesty not to pursue the matter.But if the Queen Mother knew what his real purpose was when he went to Shanxi, there might be troubles.

Although Duan Lin was more disappointed with this student, he also knew that what he said at the meeting that day was just deceiving himself.

But in the end, it's a teacher-student relationship, so you can't just stand by and watch him fall into danger.

My Erlang is steady, so Duan Lin can feel at ease.

Duan Xinglang, who couldn't figure it out all the way, had just stepped into the palace when he heard the palace gate behind him being closed and locked completely.

Afterwards, an inner eunuch holding a palace lantern led him to wait outside Cishou Palace.

The surrounding red walls, green tiles and fragrant autumn chrysanthemums are so beautiful under the shadow of the lights.But for Duan Xinglang, he didn't even dare to look at it.

In the land of the harem, there are many concubines, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot here without an edict.He is just the head of the Ritual System Department of the Ministry of Rituals, so there is really no reason for him to be so valued by the Queen Mother.

After waiting for a while, he was led into the palace.

The Queen Mother saw that the courtier entered the door, she kowtowed on the ground without even daring to raise her head, she asked slowly: "Are you Duan Lin's second son, Duan Xinglang?"

"Back to the empress dowager, it is the humble minister."

"Well, Duan Linhao's family education is refined." The queen mother saw that this Xinglang behaved elegantly, dignified and dignified, which was completely different from the Xianggu who pretended to be obsequious on the ground. Quite reassuring."

"Thank you for your praise, Empress Dowager. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, it is the great fortune of the Duan family that my father can be honored to be the prince and grand teacher."

Hearing what Duan Xinglang said, the Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Shu beside her, and finally revealed a deep smile at the corner of her mouth:
"You know today, the Ai family called you into the palace, why?"

"My humble minister is dull, please show me your empress."

Just now when he entered the palace, he heard a man sobbing, Duan Xinglang felt that something was wrong, now he heard what the Empress Dowager said, he seemed to compare him with himself, so he was even more confused.

When I was feeling uneasy, I only heard an instruction from above my head:
"Look at the one sitting next to you, can you deny it?"

Duan Xinglang raised his head upon hearing the words, and looked in the direction pointed by the Queen Mother.That person happened to look at him, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes met his gaze.
is her?

Seeing that Lu Wanlan was also looking at her at this time, but her expression was ignorant and pitiful, her heart felt inexplicably ups and downs.

Although the panic was fleeting, Lu Wanlan still had a full view of it: I seem to have seen this person somewhere, why can't I remember it all of a sudden?

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, I know Princess Yan." Duan Xinglang lowered his eyes salutingly, "The ceremony of conferring the concubine the day before yesterday was the time for this minister to go."

After hearing these words, Lu Wanlan understood in his mind, no wonder the canonization ceremony was hasty and crude, it must have been deliberately done by the Duan family.

"Oh? So that's it." The Empress Dowager's smile deepened, "But that's not what Aijia said. I heard that Princess Yan returned to the capital that day, so she chose a face in the mansion. You also participated in it. Is there such a thing?"

As soon as the words fell, Duan Xinglang's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.

The turmoil in the face has subsided, why did the Queen Mother bring up the old matter again today?Seeing that Concubine Yan looked terrified, could it be that someone has caught her and is interrogating her?

The brief tranquility was suddenly broken by Wang Xueru: "I'm asking you something! Were you there on the day when Lu Wanlan was chosen for the interview? Why is the son of the Minister of Rituals also bewitched by this unruly woman?"

Duan Xinglang took a deep breath, and there was a trace of calmness between his brows: "Reporting to Madam, Boss Lu of the Dingguo Mansion hosted a banquet in honor that day, and the minister was indeed present."

Unexpectedly, he actually admitted it!

Lu Wanlan completely ignored the strange eyes of the concubines around her, and her expression returned to calm and she lowered her eyes and said nothing.Thinking about it, this Duan Xinglang still knows current affairs, if he tells the truth, it won't do him any good.

But what Duan Xinglang said next made Lu Wanlan a little flustered.

"During the dinner, Boss Lu did talk about wanting to find a face-to-face for the princess."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines in the palace were in an instant uproar.

"I didn't expect this to be true!"

"I can't see that this paragraph of Jia Erlang is also in her pocket?"

The silent Xianggu, her eyebrows fluttering, and Wang Xueru looked at each other invisibly, as if she was asking for credit.

But Wang Xueru didn't take him seriously, she just raised her voice and angrily scolded Lu Wanlan: "Wow! You slut! You have nothing to say this time!"

After saying that, he turned around and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, since you have witnesses this time, you must deal with her severely today!"

The Empress Dowager had this intention and wanted to make an order.

But Lu Wanlan got up abruptly and questioned Duan Xinglang: "I have never had any grievances with Mr. Duan, why do you slander me like this?"

Unexpectedly, he would cause such troubles by telling the truth, Duan Xinglang felt a little embarrassed: "To the Empress Dowager, I haven't finished talking yet."

"What else?"

The Empress Dowager unhurriedly asked, and the hustle and bustle just now returned to calm.

Duan Xinglang continued to state leisurely:

"Weichen went with a friend that day, and when we talked about this matter, I suddenly felt absurd and rude. Coincidentally, the princess returned to the mansion, and Weichen saw the princess categorically refused. I think there must be a misunderstanding in this, and I would like to ask the empress to learn from it."

After hearing this, Lu Wanlan let out a breath of foul air slowly, and then sat back calmly.

This guy is really out of breath when he talks!

Duan Xinglang's meaning before and after was completely opposite, and Wang Xueru, who was choked, was speechless for a while.

And that Gu Xiang who thought the matter was secure, jumped out, grabbed Duan Xinglang's sleeve and cried:
"Brother Duan, why are you so indistinguishable from right to wrong? That day I was robbed by the brothers of the Lu family, and you were the one who accompanied me to say that I wanted justice. Today is that the way you talk?"

After seeing the appearance of the person who spoke, Duan Xinglang took a deep breath:
"Aren't you a scholar from the Fang family? Why are you pretending to be like this? I told you not to go astray for money. If this is the case, won't it break your way to the imperial examination?"

"You!" Seeing that Duan Xinglang exposed herself one after another, Xianggu was even more annoyed, "Brother Duan hates the powerful the most? Are you saying that to watch me die?"

In desperation, he began to tug and tug.

Most of the concubines were ladies of great family, who had never seen such a posture before, and were so frightened that they remained motionless.

Lu Wanlan didn't know that this man was even more powerful than that shrew when he pissed off, dared to do this in Cishou Palace, did he not want to live?
"Presumptuous!!" Seeing this scene was really inappropriate, the queen mother shouted angrily, and all the concubines knelt down.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze in an instant, making it difficult to even breathe.

Rong Guiren was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.She didn't know why the deadly weapon sent by her brother was full of lies?
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to signal, several inner eunuchs stepped forward and pressed the elephant aunt to the ground.

"How unreasonable! How dare you fabricate a lie to deceive Ai's family! Drag him out and stick him to death!"

The Xianggu, who was pressed to the ground and still uttered wild words, finally stopped crying until she heard the word "stick dead".

Struggling and rushing towards Lu Wanlan: "Girl, girl, you and Xiaosheng are already husband and wife, you have to save me, girl!"

Seeing the indifference of the woman in front of her, she turned her head to look at the queen mother like crazy again, the snot and tears on her face were mixed together, sticking together with the messy black hair, making her look even more ferocious:

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! If you want to kill me, you have to kill her too! She is a slut! She is worse than the woman in the brothel!"

Is this going to kill the fish?
Lu Wanlan pursed her lips tightly, it seems that it's time for you to see my sister's hole cards.

Thinking about it, he raised his hands and climbed up his forearms, and was about to lift up his sleeves, but when he heard that Concubine Shu, who had been sitting at the front with a tense face silently, burst out laughing.
