Chapter 56

"Lan'er, why are you walking with him again?" Mo Beiyu asked coldly, his eyes were full of resentment and jealousy that couldn't be concealed.

Although Chu Qinglan knew that he didn't like her having too frequent contact with Wanyan Jue and his brother, she never thought that he would be jealous of this person.

I couldn't help but find it funny for a while, and with a "puchi" I couldn't help laughing anymore.

His face immediately became even uglier: "What are you laughing at? Could it be that the subordinate asked some questions?"

Yo, he was so jealous this time that he even said that to his subordinates.

Chu Qinglan didn't want to tease him anymore, so she hugged his arm quickly and explained with a smile: "No problem, no problem, my son-in-law can ask anything."

Hearing the word "son-in-law", his expression softened, but his tone was still full of jealousy: "What did he ask you for just now?"

"It's nothing, I just want me to take him out for a stroll."

He immediately "cut" and said with no concealment of contempt: "The situation in Beiyi is so tense, and he still has such a leisurely mood. No wonder he was seized by the five princes and treacherous officials in the past."

She knew that he just didn't like Wanyan Jue in his heart, and he actually recognized Wanyan Jue's ability, so he said it like this at this time. He was still very measured in his heart, so he wouldn't say it casually.

So she didn't refute at the moment, but continued to hold his arm and look at him with a smile. No matter what he said, she answered yes.

Anyway, as long as it can make him happy, it doesn't matter if you scold Yan Jue.

It was because she originally wanted to tell him about Wei Xiu, but because of this incident, she was afraid that if she mentioned Wei Xiu, it would make him jealous again, so she hesitated and didn't tell him.

Instead, he was silently thinking about how to investigate the relationship between Wei Xiu and Chang Jin Gong in his own heart.

Of course, it would be even better if they could find out what they were doing behind the scenes.

But don't look at Wei Xiu, who is just the son of a small villager, but he is more cunning than a fox, so that Chu Qinglan sent people behind him to inquire quietly for a few days, but they couldn't find any news about him.

But on the third day, the person who was sent out to inquire about the news suddenly came back and told her that he had found out about the female palace lady who had received Xingyan to go to Changjin Palace last time.

Upon hearing the news, Chu Qinglan's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "How is the maid doing now?"

"I'm still working in Changjin Palace. I don't know why. I stayed in Changjin Palace for the past two days. I didn't go out of the gate. Early today, our people saw her quietly touching the ground. Went to Weiyang Palace."

Weiyang Palace is the sleeping palace of Concubine Shu, and there is a distance between them and Changjin Palace.

It is obvious that there is nothing good about the maid going to Weiyang Palace at this time.

Chu Qinglan immediately asked again: "Can you find out what she is doing in Weiyang Palace?"

"I don't know about this little one. I only know that the maid came out not long after entering Weiyang Palace. Oh, by the way, when the maid came out from the back door of Weiyang Palace, she seemed to have an extra package in her hand."

"Package?" Chu Qinglan frowned upon hearing this.

I thought to myself, the other party first went to Weiyang Palace secretly, and then took something out of Weiyang Palace, this matter seems strange no matter how you look at it.

The subordinates are also guessing: "Princess, do you think that the thing that the maid took out from Weiyang Palace is some kind of shady stolen goods, because I was afraid that someone would find it in Weiyang Palace, so I secretly took it out. Going to throw it away?"

According to normal circumstances, this may not be the case, but with Concubine Shu's impeccable style of handling affairs, if she really wants to sell the stolen goods, it should be disposed of secretly by people in her own palace, rather than specially sending Changjin Palace's palace to deal with it. people do such things.

unless……

Her eyes flashed, and she thought of something in a trance.

She couldn't help sneering for a moment, but in an instant she said with a half-smile: "It's a good trick to catch the cicada, but it's still unknown who is the oriole!"

After figuring out the conspiracy of Changjin Palace and Weiyang Palace, Chu Qinglan decided to follow suit, and immediately rushed to the gate of the palace alone.

In order to avoid accidents, before she left, she deliberately ordered the guards to follow her secretly.

In this way, no matter what the other party's purpose is, she will not take risks alone.

So rushing all the way to the palace gate, when she arrived, the maid happened to leave the palace in a carriage.

Chu Qinglan first asked the guard in charge of guarding the palace gate to find out whose badge the maid who just left the palace gate was holding.

After confirming that it belonged to Concubine Shu, she hurried out of the palace and continued to follow her.

From the moment she left the palace gate, she was always vigilant about her surroundings.

The result was exactly as she expected, not long after she left the palace, a group of masked men who came from nowhere suddenly surrounded her.

It seemed that he wanted to block her way.

She didn't want to get too entangled with these masked people, so she raised her head and whistled towards the sky

As soon as the whistle sounded, the guards who had been hiding in the dark rushed over to protect her.

There was chaos at the scene.

She didn't dare to stay on the spot to waste time, so she called a few guards to chase the maid with her.

After not chasing for a long time, Chu Qinglan successfully caught the maid.

"Princess, spare your life, spare your life!"

The maid was frightened by the surrounding guards, and immediately staggered and fell off the carriage.

Ignoring the pain in her body for a while, she knelt down on the ground and crawled towards Chu Qinglan, begging constantly: "Princess, please spare me, I don't know anything, I really don't know anything. unknown……"

The court lady begged so verbally, but as soon as she climbed up to Chu Qinglan, the pitiful expression on her face suddenly changed, and then she conjured a dagger out of nowhere.

As soon as he raised his arm, he was about to stab Chu Qinglan fiercely in the face.

Fortunately, Chu Qinglan had prepared herself well in advance. When she saw the maid raising her dagger, she immediately dodged to the side, and shouted at the guards on both sides: "Hurry up and grab her!"

The guards were well-trained, each with one arm, and quickly grabbed the palace maid tightly.

"Raise your head!" Chu Qinglan took a step forward, staring at the maid and shouted.

The palace lady raised her head obediently when she heard the words, her face was full of determination to go to death, she didn't look like an ordinary palace lady, but a trained dead soldier

Seeing it, Chu Qinglan couldn't help but feel strange, and couldn't think of anything else for a while, so she could only ask the court lady, "Say, who sent you here, and what is the purpose?"

"No one sent me here for any purpose."

"The mouth is quite hard, but it doesn't matter. When you send it to Dali Temple, there will be plenty of means to pry your mouth open."

"You want to catch me, heh!" The palace maid smiled coldly, then closed her mouth.

Chu Qinglan didn't understand the confidence and determination on the maid's face at first, and it was too late when she realized it.

"No, let her kill herself—"

Before the words fell, the poison hidden in the maid's mouth had already been bitten.

So much so that the whole process took less than a blink of an eye, and the maid died alive in front of her.

Chu Qinglan couldn't help being shocked and stunned at the moment, she never thought that the other party would die as soon as he said it.

In addition to being shocked, her original guess was confirmed, that is, the maid in front of her was definitely not an ordinary court lady.

"Go and find out for me the maid's name, where is her family, and how she got into the palace in the first place." Chu Qinglan ordered decisively.

After giving the order, she bent down to look for any clues on the maid.

During the body search, she accidentally touched the waist card hidden in the palace belt.

"Concubine Shu's waist tag... No, the printing on this waist tag is weird..."

Although the waist card looks very delicate, and the whole body is forged from pure gold, the printing on it is a bit rough.

If you don't pay attention, ordinary people will not be able to see that this is a fake waist card.

Because it is very strict for ordinary people to enter and exit the palace, if there is no order from the emperor or a special badge, they cannot enter and leave the palace.

It is also because of this that counterfeiting of cards is not uncommon.

But since the maid in front of her was sent by Concubine Shu, there is absolutely no reason to make a fake card by herself.

What's more, this fake waist card is made of pure gold, and a little court lady has no ability to make it.

So it is very likely that Concubine Shu Gui gave the maid a fake token.
