Resourceful beauty

Chapter 315 Discovery
"Handing the little prince into the hands of the queen is, in fact, a double-edged sword for Concubine Fang. Such a move can reassure the queen, but it can also make King Yong feel relieved. One day, if the time comes, if you have to tear The embarrassing situation, the queen thought she had the little prince in her hand, so she held Concubine Fang, but she didn't realize that it was King Yong who she really got hold of. Concubine Fang's move is not unreasonable."

After returning from Lanyue Pavilion, Fang Ruxuan was talking with Chu Yuan, but she couldn't help guessing in her heart how Concubine Fang found out about those old things.

There are tens of thousands of palace people in the palace. Fang Ruxuan has been visibly and unannounced since entering the palace. Anyone who can be involved in the past has been sent to pay attention. But, even so, Fang Concubine got Fang Ruxuan didn't know the news.

So, where did Concubine Fang get the news from?

A strong sense of frustration suddenly surged in Fang Ruxuan's heart.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's eyes gloomy, Chu Yuan guessed what she was thinking almost immediately.

With a doting smile, Chu Yuan got up and walked to Fang Ruxuan to sit down, and asked her casually, "What if what Concubine Fang said in Jinghua Palace that day was a fraud?"

"how is this possible?"

Fang Ruxuan blurted out, and looked at Chu Yuan with disbelief.

Chu Yuan laughed wantonly, "How is it impossible?"

"By relying on that piece of moss, it is not difficult for Concubine Fang to find Lu Rufei. However, as we thought, Concubine Fang has not had any accidents since she was pregnant, and she gave birth prematurely with a slight slip. So coincidental? So, if we dig deeper, it is only natural that the musk in the silver frost charcoal will be found. These two points, I think Concubine Fang is sure. But, just relying on these two points, you can let Is the concubine flustered? Obviously not."

Talking to himself, Chu Yuan played with Fang Ruxuan's fingers, and continued: "The most taboo thing in the palace, the most sensational thing brought up, is only the old thing 20 years ago. But everyone knows that 20 years ago Years ago, the mother and concubine made many enemies in the palace, and the only one who had a good relationship was Lu Rufei. If it was rumored that the mother and concubine gave birth prematurely, and it was Lu Rufei's handwriting, tell me, what do others think?"

No matter what other people think, in Lu Rufei's heart, she might think too much, right?
If there is no ghost in her heart, then Concubine Fang's last words will naturally not have the slightest deterrent effect, and Concubine Lu Ru can ignore it.

But it was precisely that slight hesitation that allowed Concubine Fang to grasp the handle of Concubine Lu Rufei. Fang Ruxuan couldn't find out what happened that year with such a thorough investigation. What can you find out about those few?

"So, Concubine Fang is not keeping her secrets about what she knows, but she can't tell the reason at all, so she can only pretend to be mysterious and let me guess by myself?"

Fang Ruxuan looked at Chu Yuan with skepticism.

However, looking back and thinking about what Chu Yuan said, it seems that there is some truth to it.

After thinking it over, Fang Ruxuan was a little excited for a while, "So, it's not wrong to start with Lu Rufei first?"

Chu Yuan smiled and nodded.

Somewhat relieved, Fang Ruxuan was awkward for a while, then turned around and asked Chu Yuan in a low voice, "Then, what if she really found out, isn't it fraudulent concubine Rufei?"

Fang Ruxuan like this made Chu Yuan feel a little cute while being funny. He reached out and pinched her cheeks on both sides. Chu Yuan smiled and said: "She can find out, let alone our wise and powerful princess. It's just a matter of time, so why worry about it?"

The flattering praise made Fang Ruxuan a little proud, and the unhappiness just now was forgotten.

Waking up early the next morning, Fang Ruxuan called Mulberry, "The jade pendant picked up by Concubine Fang is now in the Queen's hands, right?"

Sangshen nodded, "After what happened in Jinghua Palace that day, the topic of jade pendants in the palace has been brought up again these days, even worse than that day. The queen ordered the palaces to control the servants, but it didn't work."

"Then, has Concubine Ru visited the queen these days? Did she see something wrong with that jade pendant?"

Fang Ruxuan continued to ask.

Sang Shen shook her head, "Although Concubine Ru is old, but Concubine Fang is now the fourth concubine of the first grade, and the attitude of the king and queen is not clear afterwards, so these days, Concubine Ru is in Jinghua most of the time except for greetings. Palace, or the Ninth Princess’ Lanxiang Hall, and the queen has no private contact, so I don’t know if I think about it.”

The jade pendant that Concubine Fang picked up at the entrance of Wanfu Palace was a fake. Only Chu Yuan, Fang Ruxuan, and the few people around her knew about it. If Concubine Lu knew, she might not be as flustered as she was a few days ago Bar.

If there is no chaos, there will be no mistakes, and no tricks will be exposed. It will not be so convenient for Fang Ruxuan to take further actions.

As it is now, that's fine.

Satisfied with the current progress, Fang Ruxuan told Sangsan, "Send a message to Mu Mian and ask her to arrange it outside the palace. In the next few days, let Mrs. Chang'an Hou enter the palace to greet the queen."

When Mrs. Chang'an Hou appears, Queen Zhou will think of Chang'an Hou. The word on the jade pendant will make Queen Zhou think for a while, and then think that the nine princesses were betrothed to the young master of Chang'an Hou's mansion, and Lu Rufei came from Chang'an Hou's mansion. The palace, after thinking about it layer by layer, Queen Zhou must have some illusions in her heart.

Coupled with the rumors in the palace, at that time, no matter whether Queen Zhou believes it or not, the suspicion on Lu Rufei may not be so easy to clear up.

As long as Queen Zhou made a move, Concubine Lu Ru would definitely know. At that time, when these two people became suspicious of each other, what would they discover differently?

Fang Ruxuan was looking forward to it.

Lu Rufei has been standing in the palace for so many years. Fang Ruxuan believes that apart from her own cautious character, it is the mutual benefit between her and Queen Zhou.

In the final analysis, Queen Zhou is the rightful harem/lord of the palace, whoever she wants to go up in the wind can become an upstart in the palace.If she wanted someone to disappear quietly in the palace, it would naturally be a breeze.

However, there are so many concubines in the palace, and there is a draft every three years. There are more and more newcomers, and there will always be people or things that she can't take care of.Therefore, at times like this, she needs someone around her to remind her and help her, and naturally she also needs someone to advise her.

There may be many such people, but those who are smart are not necessarily careful, and those who are careful do not necessarily have strategies, and Lu Rufei is obviously the best among them.

She is cautious enough, careful enough, and obedient enough. For Queen Zhou, having such a person by her side will save a lot of worry.

As far as Lu Rufei is concerned, who else can compare to Queen Zhou as her backer in the palace?
That's why Lu Rufei was able to climb from a small Chang Zai to one of the four concubines today, and it's incredible that the journey went smoothly.

But what happens if this balance is disturbed?

How kapok did it, Fang Ruxuan didn't know, but Sangsan sent a message on the second day, and on the afternoon of the third day, Mrs. Chang'an Hou entered the palace to pay her respects.

When Fang Ruxuan found out, she was amazed at Kapok's ability to handle affairs.

She can even imagine that in today's Tianji Building, there are countless news from all over the country, which are filtered layer by layer and then flowed to various places, playing different roles. Mingli, Tianji Building is just an antique shop with a mysterious background in Shangyang City. But who would have thought that the secret building in the dark would turn people's faces?
In Fengming Palace, Queen Zhou greeted the old lady Chang'anhou's body with a gentle smile. Knowing that everything was fine in Chang'anhou's mansion, she said with a smile: "The last time I saw the old lady was at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Madam will go back later. I have a hundred-year-old ginseng here, and taking it back to the old lady is a little bit of my kindness."

Busy getting up to thank you, Mrs. Chang'an Hou got up and sat down again, and then talked about some interesting things in Shangyang City.

After half an hour, Mrs. Chang'an Hou said that she was going to Shouchang Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and Queen Zhou asked Fang Shanggong to escort her out of the palace.

When he heard that after coming out of Shouchang Palace, Mrs. Chang'an Hou left the palace directly, King Zhou was taken aback for a moment.

How should I put it, in June next year, Princess Ninth is also going to marry into the Marquis of Chang'an, so why doesn't Madam Chang'an enter the palace and not go to Jinghua Palace to greet Concubine Lu Ruru?
"Mrs. Chang'an Hou is doing this, could it be to avoid suspicion?"

Fang Shanggong guessed and said, "In the taboo of Marquis Chang'an's name, there happens to be a word far, and that jade pendant..."

Queen Zhou fell silent suddenly.

It is said that three people become a tiger, but there is another saying that there is no wave without wind.

Concubine Lu Ru is the fourth concubine anyway, or an old man who has served King Yao, so it is impossible for open and dark arrows to go towards her for no reason, otherwise, how could the rumors spread to other people?
Among the four concubines, Concubine Lu Rufei's appearance is still at the bottom, not to mention Concubine Jing's enchanting beauty, even Concubine Liu Ning and Concubine Fang, she is also incomparable.

Combined with Concubine Lu Rufei's birthday in Jinghua Palace, Concubine Fang's phone call in front of everyone, Queen Zhou couldn't help becoming suspicious.

"Concubine Fang's premature birth, how did the investigation go?"

Queen Zhou frowned and asked.

Fang Shanggong replied cautiously: "Except for the piece of moss, it is the musk in the silver frost charcoal. Moss, there are several places in the palace, including the forest outside Jinghua Palace. As for the silver frost carbon……"

Fang Shanggong hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The head of the House of Internal Affairs is under the empress's command, so he would never be so bold as to do such a thing, but the servants asked about it, and it was the concubine Ru's suggestion that made the House of Internal Affairs think of going to the East Palace." And Lanyue Pavilion sent charcoal early."

The moss in the woods outside Jinghua Palace, the silver frost charcoal sent by Lu Rufei...

In Queen Zhou's eyes, a little sullenness accumulated.
