The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 132 The Seventh Prince Invites

Qiu Lian scooped up a bowl of soup for herself, Gulu took a sip, and said, "Ms. Meng, you are the best. I am outside, so I dare not eat like this."

Meng Xiaoshu couldn't help but chuckled: "Isn't that how you eat when you're outside?"

"Of course not. If so, I'm afraid those people will make irresponsible remarks again." Qiu Lian complained.

"Then you can eat in my room from now on, anyway, I can't eat so much by myself." Meng Xiaosuo said.

Qiu Lian turned her head and thought about it, then shook her head: "I still don't want it, girl, if you can't eat, just leave some for me quietly, anyway, I have a big appetite, and I can finish two meals."

Meng Xiaocom couldn't agree more, thought for a while, and asked, "Qiu Lian, where did you grow up?"

"Mengshan. This place is close to the border, the girl probably has never heard of it." Qiu Lian said.

"Monsan?" Meng Xiaosuo's eyes lit up, "You are from Mengshan?"

"Miss, have you heard of it?" Qiu Lian's eyes lit up, she hadn't been home for several years, and now she heard the word "Meng Shan" being mentioned, she couldn't help being a little happy.

"Of course I've heard of it," Meng Xiaosu said after a pause, "there was a servant in the Meng Mansion who came from Mengshan. I heard him mention his hometown. It is said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is very quiet. .”

Qiulian didn't know that what Meng Xiaosuo said was a lie, she stared at somewhere out of the window in a daze, and recalled: "Yes, there are green mountains and green waters, it's very beautiful, and in winter, we will quietly do it in the snow. Trap, catch some birds and beasts that can't find food..."

As he said that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his face: "It's a pity that mountains, rivers and rivers can't be used for food..."

Knowing that she remembered the famine, Meng Xiaosu comforted her, "Aren't you full now? With me here, you won't be hungry again."

Qiu Lian smiled sweetly, and said: "No one has ever said such a thing to Qiu Lian. With a girl's words, Qiu Lian is happier than eating anything."

"Also, from now on, I won't let people bully you again." Meng Xiaocom said seriously.

Qiu Lian frowned slightly, and bit her lips: "Girl, there is something that Qiu Lian should say or not..."

"Didn't I say last time, don't say such things again, just say what you want, don't be afraid that I will punish you." Meng Xiaosao said seriously.

"Then let me tell you...Girl, you are a bit too careless and easy to offend people. Although Concubine Lan looks gentle, I always feel that she is not as kind as she appears on the surface. Fighting with the guards in the middle of the night, I mutilated a lot of her chrysanthemums, I'm afraid she will be angry with you for this..." Qiu Lian hesitated, as if she was afraid of making Meng Xiaosuo angry.

"She won't be angry with me for this." Meng Xiaosu said firmly.

"Why?" Qiu Lian asked.

The corners of Meng Xiaocom's mouth were slightly drawn: "She's angry, not because I ruined the flowers and plants, but because I don't pay attention to her."

"Do you have any?" Qiu Lian scratched her head and said to herself, "Compared to others...it seems...a little..."

"She always hopes that everyone respects her, fears her, dare not speak loudly in front of her, dare not make big moves in her palace. In her view, my martial arts competition is doing whatever she wants. As for those chrysanthemums, it is simply a trivial matter One." Meng Xiaocoma slowly analyzed it for Qiu Lian.

Qiu Lian nodded straightly: "So it's like this...why didn't I think of it before?"

"Let me tell you, don't you understand?" Meng Xiaosu smiled lightly, "Some things, once you break them down, will naturally make sense. From now on, you have to understand things and people, so as not to suffer."

"Young lady is very reasonable. I will be more careful in the future. By the way, young lady, what do you think is the reason why Huanyan was drowned in the well?" Qiu Lian asked.

Meng Xiaocom told her his deduction.

After hearing this, Qiu Lian nodded slightly. She felt that it made some sense, but she still didn't understand, and asked, "Huanyan is usually very good at being a person, much better than me. Almost everyone can get along very well with her." , who will attack her?"

"Maybe it's not because of getting along well. I guess, Huanyan probably knew something she shouldn't know. Although I'm not sure, isn't this kind of thing very common in the harem? Her death has nothing to do with us." Therefore, you should not know too much, curiosity killed the cat." Meng Xiaosuo warned.

"But I'm just very curious and want to know the answer." Qiu Lian said frankly.

"Then wait for Master Zhu sent by the emperor to find out the truth." Meng Xiaocom said.

"Master Zhu, he doesn't look like a good person. I saw him touch Hua Qi's hand quietly today." Qiu Lian said with a curled lip.

Hua Qi is also a palace maid of Xi Ning Palace, with delicate features and delicate waist, Meng Xiaosuo has seen her several times.

"Oh? So, the case can't be solved?" Meng Xiaosuo smiled lightly, "Why don't we set a date, and if Mr. Zhu still can't solve the case by the date, we will quietly look for clues."

"Okay!" Qiu Lian immediately raised her hands in agreement, "How about tomorrow?"

Meng Xiaocom shook her head: "Tomorrow is too early, why not the day after tomorrow."

Qiulian can't wait to find clues immediately, how can she wait for the day after tomorrow?But she didn't dare to go against Meng Xiaosuo's intentions, so she had no choice but to agree: "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, I'll just listen to the girl..."

"Look at your reluctance, remember, I am also for your own good, if Huanyan was pushed down the well because she knew some secret, if you and I knew, wouldn't we be silenced too? ?” Meng Xiaocom said.

Only then did Qiulian dispel the curiosity in her heart: "So, aren't we in danger?"

Meng Xiaosuo couldn't help giving her a blank look, and sighed, "You didn't understand such a simple truth until now..."

Qiu Lian said "Oh" reproachfully: "I'm so stupid that I don't look like you, a girl."

"I'm also stupid, otherwise how could I come to the palace? And I haven't been able to go out for a long time?" Meng Xiaosuo laughed at himself.

"Didn't you enter the palace voluntarily?" Qiu Lian asked.

"Of course not." Meng Xiaocom said.

Qiu Lian was a little puzzled: "I always thought that a girl is the kind of person who can't be forced by anyone if she doesn't want to do something."

"Sometimes, I'm forcing myself." Meng Xiaosu gave a wry smile, thought for a while, and said, "You might as well move the bedding and move it to my room. There is a 'plague' right now, and no one cares about it." That's it."

Qiu Lian flatly refused: "No, I'm afraid that you, girl, will be gossiped about."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then someone knocked on the door.

Meng Xiaocom made a "hush" gesture to Qiu Lian, then turned her head and asked, "Who?"

"I was sent by the Seventh Prince, please go over there." The man said.
