Chapter 45 Secret News
The queen and the emperor left one after another, Wan Guifei also said tactfully: "The concubine still has something to do in the palace, so I won't bother the queen mother anymore."

The Queen Mother nodded.

After everyone left, only the Empress Dowager, the servants of Ci'an Palace and Wan Jinlan were left in the palace.

The queen's malice and dislike towards her were simply on the table. Thinking of Wang Minghui, there was something Wan Jinlan didn't understand.

As for the emperor's attitude, she always felt that it was a bit subtle.

The Empress Dowager's complexion softened a lot, she got up and said: "Girl from the Wan family, help Ai's family to go for a walk in the garden."

Wan Jinlan stepped forward respectfully, and helped the Queen Mother to the garden in Ci'an Palace.

Today's spring is just right, the winter jasmine flowers are blooming in a patchwork pattern above the palace wall, the spring sun is warm but not strong, falling on the body, it is very warm.

The queen mother clapped her hands, "Tell the Ai family about you and King Qi in Yangzhou. Don't think too much, the Ai family asked you to tell, you just say it."

Wan Jinlan looked at the white hair on the sideburns of the queen mother, looked at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, heard her voice, and felt her feelings for Xiao Feng.

She thought about it and said: "The minister and the king of Qi have actually met a few times in Yangzhou."

Of course, she was lying.As for why, the Queen's words earlier made her vigilant, so she naturally wanted more.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is glorious, and he used to treat his courtiers with a serious attitude. The reason why the courtiers can talk to the King of Qi is because of the chubby puppy that King Guangling gave to the King of Qi. The courtiers I like dogs, so I have the cheek to come to the door..."

"Later, he was busy, so he entrusted his daughter to take care of him..."

Wan Jinlan's words basically revolved around dots, and the Queen Mother listened with a soothing smile on her brow.

"When His Highness brings Diandian back, the Empress Dowager will know how fat Diandian is. The two spots on its eyes are yellow, and it looks like it has four eyes..."

After listening to Wan Jinlan's words, the queen mother was relieved.

If he didn't like it, why would he ask for marriage?
The queen mother sighed in her heart, she was not close to King Qi, since she left him in the capital that year, the rift between their mother and son seemed to be irreparable forever.

Wan Jinlan's lunch was served in the Ci'an Palace, without the empress and emperor, although the meal was formal, it was considered comfortable.

"Go to the imperial concubine's palace, Anyang always mentions you in front of Aijia, Aijia is exhausted, you should step back first."

Wan Jinlan saw that the queen mother was tired, so she saluted kindly and retreated.

After following the palace servants to Yongfu Palace, she was truly at ease.

In this palace, I really don't want to come a second time when I come here once.

When Anyang heard that Wan Jinlan had entered the palace, she had indeed been waiting all morning. She also heard about Wan Jinlan and Uncle Qi. She was really scratching her head and wanted to know the inside story. Grabbing and asking questions.

"Wouldn't this princess still call you aunt in the future? It's really unexpected."

When Princess Anyang looked unbelievable, the eldest maid from Concubine Wan Gui's palace came and said, "Miss Wan, the empress wants to see you."

Princess Anyang also followed, Concubine Wan Gui didn't say anything when she saw this, but sent all the palace people out anyway.

"Mother Concubine, what are you trying to say, you are so mysterious." Anyang's excitement could no longer be suppressed.

Concubine Wan Gui glanced at her, "What I want to talk about is the relationship between the Empress Dowager and King Qi."

"As we all know, King Qi is born of the Empress Dowager, and the age difference between His Majesty and His Majesty is more than twenty years. Your Majesty and King Qi are brothers. Those of us who have been in the palace for a long time know that the Empress Dowager is not close to King Qi."

Wan Jinlan listened carefully, and she always felt that there was something weird about it. The question the Holy Majesty asked him today, as well as the Queen Mother's attitude towards the Holy Majesty, seemed to be hiding a deep meaning.

"Mother Concubine, can you speak faster." An Yang, who couldn't hear the point, felt uncomfortable scratching his head.

"In the past, when His Majesty was still a prince, three years before he ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager was forced to flee to Tanzhou with His Majesty, and King Qi was left in the capital."

There are many anecdotes in this, for example, the Empress Xian once blocked a poisoned arrow for Her Majesty, and her body was injured, and the Empress Xian's natal family inevitably became arrogant after Her Majesty regained power. Finally, the Empress Xian's natal family was killed by the Holy Spirit A does not stay.

For example, the current empress was once only a side concubine in the backyard of His Majesty's palace, sharing the hardships with the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, and was later named Empress.

Concubine Wan Gui entered the palace after His Majesty and the Queen Mother returned to Kyoto to consolidate the forces in the army. Over the years, she has gradually learned about what happened in the past.

In the palace, those who know too little may at some point violate the taboo of the superiors, and those who know too much think too much, and will inevitably have restless sleep at night.Whether you can survive well or not depends on your wisdom.

"King Qi was young and was left in the capital full of wolves. One can imagine that day." Concubine Wan Gui said with emotion.

Wan Jinlan said in a very low voice: "I feel that the relationship between His Majesty King Qi is not as good as the rumors say, and the empress dowager and His Majesty are not so close."

The atmosphere in Ci'an Palace was weird today, and the attitude of the Holy Majesty made her most puzzled, she was not stupid, it was normal to notice something strange.

Concubine Wan Gui shook her head, "The relationship between the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty has been somewhat delicate in the past few years, and I can't see why for a moment. After leaving Yongfu Palace, I rotted all these words in my stomach."

Not only Wan Jinlan was puzzled, but Concubine Wan Gui was also puzzled. What did His Majesty's words mean today?
Forgive her for speaking bluntly, His Majesty has the intention of discrediting King Qi today, it seems that he does not want this marriage to come true.

Wan Jinlan nodded like a chicken pecking rice to show that she understood.She's not stupid, so she won't speak out.

Concubine Wan Gui said these things today because she also wanted to mention her niece. If she married King Qi in the future, there should be rules for how to get along between husband and mother-in-law, and be careful.

When Wan Jinlan left the palace, it was already time. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she got into her own carriage, and when she turned into the alley, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Ma Liu, the coachman, said, "Girl, someone is blocking the way."

Opening the curtain of the car, seeing that it was Xiao Zheng, she wondered if this person had come to avenge the previous incident.

Compared to last year, Xiao Zheng looked a lot thinner, and the edges and corners of his face became more distinct.

"I have something to ask." He went straight to the point and came to her car window.

"You said."

Xiao Zheng lowered his voice, "Has Xiao Mingyi been married to Youzhou?"

Wan Jinlan paused, and said truthfully, "As far as I know, yes."

Xiao Zheng didn't stop after asking, and quickly disappeared into the alley.

Wan Jinlan heard from Princess Anyang today that King Guangling fell ill on the way to Beijing. He contracted the wind and cold, and he has not recovered intermittently until now. Whenever the weather repeats, his illness will also repeat.

The imperial doctor went to see it, and it was really serious, but after a few months, King Guangling couldn't even get out of his couch.
