happy match

Ye Qinglan smiled, and her tone naturally showed confidence: "In front of me, she will never tell half a lie."

Gu Xinian looked at her and didn't speak for a long while.

He cured Gu Xiyu's eccentricity, healed Queen Gu's anxiety and insomnia, and now she said something like this... What kind of secret does she have?

Facing Gu Xinian's deep gaze, Ye Qinglan was very calm: "I can't explain it to you, but I can assure you that as long as I see that Xiaotao, I will be able to find out from her. The truth." After a pause, he said again: "Even the crown princess is willing to believe me for a try, why don't you want to?"

Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and he said slowly, "Because I don't want anyone to be suspicious of you."

Ye Qinglan was taken aback.

"Only Meng Zijun and I know about your life experience." Gu Xinian lowered his voice subconsciously: "I know you have secrets that no one knows, and I won't get to the bottom of it. Meng Zijun will also keep secrets for you. But Have you ever thought that others won't be so tolerant to you? When they realize that you are different from ordinary people, what will they think? The previous entry into the palace has already made the queen suspicious. If you have any contact with Xiaotao again Well, how can the prince and princess not be suspicious? Now that you are useful, they may not ask any more questions. But once this matter is over, there is no guarantee that they will not think too much..."

After his analysis, Ye Qinglan's mind gradually calmed down. Knowing that what Gu Xinian said was reasonable, she still couldn't help muttering: "Let me just watch Shen Qiuyu stir up trouble and do nothing. I can't bear it." Can't stop!"

Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips, and a chill flashed in his eyes: "It's okay for her to plot against others, but she plots against you too. I will never let her go!" After a pause, he continued: "You don't even understand Prince, this matter has already been settled, and with his temperament, he will never release Xiao Tao again. If the Crown Princess really opens her mouth to persuade him, it will only make Xiao Tao die faster!"

Ye Qinglan gasped: "This is a living human life..."

"Silly girl!" Gu Xinian seemed to be amused by her reaction, half joking and half serious, said: "In the eyes of the superiors, the life of a maid is nothing. To achieve the goal, even if it is death, more No human eye blinks."

Ye Qinglan felt chills in her heart.Never has she been more aware of the gap between the times than at this moment.Respect and democracy are all fantasy. This is a feudal society with strict hierarchy. Although it can't be said that human life is like nothing, in the eyes of the superiors, human life is nothing more than a pawn...

Gu Xinian said lightly: "This incident has successfully planted the spoils of Concubine Zheng. It also alarmed the emperor. Concubine Zheng can't argue with a hundred words, this sullen loss is settled. The emperor will not say anything. I don't feel anything. In the next few days, Concubine Zheng will definitely be left out in the cold. The Queen and the Crown Prince don't know how satisfied they are with such a result. How can they be willing to make troubles again? Even if there is only one point, Concubine Zheng or the Third Prince may find out the clues , is definitely not something they would like to see." Under such circumstances, it is also obvious what the prince will choose to do.

this matter.She really thought it was too simple...

Ye Qinglan remained silent.

Gu Xinian paused, and then said meaningfully: "Also. Do you really think that the empress and the crown prince are so easily deceived?"

Ye Qinglan savored the meaning of his words carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became: "You mean..." Could it be that Shen Qiuyu's trick of framing her didn't really hide the truth from Queen Gu and the prince?

Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "Some things, the truth is not important, what matters is what people are willing to believe."

Therefore, when the prince talked about the so-called "truth", his reaction was so flat.Didn't even ask a question.

Ye Qinglan was completely dumbfounded and had to admit it to herself.In the face of concealing her calculations, she was indeed inferior.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xinian's heart softened, he stretched his arms and hugged her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "When dealing with someone like her, you have to use the same method to calculate back. She has already occupied this round." If you have the upper hand, let her be proud for a while. There will always be a day when she regrets it!"

Ye Qinglan was confused in her mind, and asked subconsciously: "But, the princess has already discussed with me, saying that she will definitely persuade the prince. If it is true as you said, then the prince..."

"You don't have to worry about this." Gu Xinian patted Ye Qinglan on the back reassuringly: "The Crown Princess is not a fool, and she won't offend the Crown Prince. Let's forget about this matter for now. To settle the score, There will be opportunities in the future.”

Speaking of the last sentence, there was a trace of coldness in the words.

It's none of Shen Qiuyu's business to plot against the Crown Princess and Concubine Lin, but he couldn't tolerate Ye Qinglan being involved.One day, he will get back this debt with interest!

Two days later, the Crown Princess sent Mingyue, her personal maid, to deliver a message.

"...The Crown Princess ordered my servant to tell you that Xiaotao fell ill and recuperated in the farm for a few days, but she still couldn't make it through." Mingyue chose her words carefully: "She passed away last night."

...Gu Xinian's guess was really accurate!

Ye Qinglan had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it was like for a while.Recalling that Xiaotao's face is actually blurred, I just remember that she is a pretty and smiling maid, who seems to be very popular with Concubine Lin.It's a pity that being involved in such a conspiracy, such a fresh life withered in a blink of an eye.Even if Xiaotao is not innocent, she still feels heavy in her heart.

Thinking of that maid who didn't even know her name in vain as a scapegoat, my mood was even more complicated and indescribable.

Mingyue is Mo's confidant, and obviously knows some inside information.Seeing Ye Qinglan's delicate expression, she comforted her cautiously: "Everyone has their own destiny, and this is probably Xiaotao's fate, young mistress doesn't need to worry about it. Maybe Xiaotao's death will be a complete relief."

For a traitor like Xiaotao, even if Concubine Lin had no chance to do anything, how could Mrs. Mo spare her?There is also Shen Qiuyu, who will not rest assured that such a living person will remain in the world.Xiaotao's fate was doomed as early as the day she was bribed by Shen Qiuyu...

Relying on her clever mind and good popularity, Ye Qinglan easily dealt with Mrs. Xue. After she got married, her parents-in-law and sister-in-law liked her, and Gu Xinian cared for her wholeheartedly. Her life was indeed going smoothly.Inevitably, a little pride was born.But life has taught her a solid lesson, allowing her to see the darkness behind the prosperous life, and also allowing her to see clearly the weakness and helplessness of her own strength...

Ye Qinglan waved away her chaotic thoughts, cheered up and said with a smile: "You're right, I was thinking too much." Putting the matter aside, she asked about Mo's recent situation: "The Crown Princess' body Is it better?"

Mingyue changed the subject very cooperatively: "The residual poison in the princess's body has almost been eliminated, but she is still weak and lies on the bed every day. All the trivial matters in the mansion are taken care of by Concubine Shen." After a pause, he added another sentence: "Shen Fangfei personally serves the crown princess to drink medicine and eat every day, and even His Royal Highness praises her very much."

This is undoubtedly telling himself that Shen Qiuyu's superficial skills are excellent, and she is very good at pleasing the prince.Now the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion is already dominated by Shen Qiuyu.

Ye Qinglan was noncommittal, but smiled faintly.There will be a tough battle between her and Shen Qiuyu sooner or later, but not now.

What Gu Xinian said is correct, some things don't need to be rushed.Once you are impatient, you will inevitably do wrong things and be caught by the other party and hurt your feet.What she has to do now is to wait patiently and find the most suitable opportunity...

Mingyue didn't stay long, and quickly left.

After Mingyue left, Ye Qinglan's smile disappeared from her eyes, and she sat there in a daze for a long time.She sat there alone, her brows were unconsciously frowned, her expression was a little dazed, and she exuded an inexplicable loneliness and loneliness all over her body.

Ruixue came in quietly once, Ruomei came in twice, and even Longan came in twice.But no one bothered Ye Qinglan.

Longan quietly pulled Ruixue aside and asked, "Sister Ruixue, what's wrong with Miss? Did you quarrel with the young master?"

Ruixue shook her head: "Probably not, the young master has treated Miss very well these few days." After thinking for a while, she said: "In the afternoon, Mingyue who was next to the Crown Princess came, and I don't know what she said to Miss, let's go The lady didn't say anything after that."

Longan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Ruixue vaguely guessed something, but she wasn't sure, she just said in a low voice: "When the young master comes back, just a few words of persuasion to the young lady will be all right, we don't have to worry too much."

While talking, Gu Xinian's figure appeared in front of his eyes.

The two maids hurriedly stopped whispering, and went forward to salute Gu Xinian together.Gu Xinian casually hummed, and asked casually: "You two are not in the house to serve young mistress, why come here to gossip?"

Longan immediately rushed to answer: "Mingyue, the servant girl of the Crown Princess, came here in the afternoon, and after she left, the young mistress has been silent all the time, as if she was very unhappy..."

Before the words finished, Gu Xinian had already walked quickly into the room.

The door was ajar, but with a little effort it was pushed open.

Ye Qinglan was sitting with her back facing the door, her back was a little thin, and she even looked a little sad.

Gu Xinian stopped unconsciously, and looked at her back with a complicated expression, feeling both pity and inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
