Chapter 190 Your Life Is Not Enough
Chapter 190 Your Life Is Not Enough
The little maid hurriedly knelt down, "Sister Song Zhao, forgive me, there is a fire in Yuexian Palace, and the slaves are in a hurry to put out the fire, so..."
"What?" Wu Zhen and the three were taken aback, "A fire broke out in Yuexian Palace? How could there be a fire?"
"Back to Princess Chang'an, the maidservants are not too clear about it. I heard that a stray cat came from nowhere and smashed all the utensils in the house. It also overturned the candlestick and burned the veil. This caused the fire!"
Wu Zhen asked sharply: "Isn't Yuexian Palace guarded by palace guards? How could the cat run in?"
The little maid trembled, and said bravely: "Princess Zhuzhu came to check in the morning and found some problems, so I asked a few sisters to correct them, but they all left."
Wu Zhen took a deep breath, "Take Ben Gong to have a look!"
"Princess, the fire in the Yuexian Palace has not been completely extinguished. If you have a thousand gold body, if there is any mistake, the slaves can't afford it. Please move the princess to Fengxian Palace..."
"Lead the way quickly!" Wu Zhen yelled lightly, the princess lost her aura, and the little maid immediately said tremblingly: "Yes, princess, please come with your servants."
At this time, the Moon Fairy Palace was filled with smoke, and it was a mess. The choking smell of smoke permeated the whole Moon Fairy Palace. Wu Zhen stood at the door, holding her nose, looking through the smoke and looking at the ground that hadn't been cleaned up yet. The wreckage was immobilized as if trapped in a hole.
Yan Qingruo tugged on Wu Zhen's sleeve, crying in her voice, "Cousin Chang'an, what should I do? Princess Waci will be here in a few days."
They messed up something that Emperor Longde valued so much, no one knows what kind of punishment they will face!
He Qingqing was also dumbfounded, she didn't expect Wu Wan and the others to be so bold as to burn down Yuexian Palace!
If something happened to Yuexian Palace, the entire princess reception team would have to be punished. They were either the princess or the daughters of princesses or first-rank officials. She was the only daughter of a doctor. Who would protect her?He Qingqing deeply regrets what he promised yesterday in a moment of fever. He clearly said that he was dealing with Lu Xinyan alone, and she would not be implicated in it. How could it be like this?
Wu Zhen clasped her hands tightly together, and after taking a few deep breaths, she tried to calm herself down, "Song Zhao, take my card and go out of the palace to find Zhuzhu! Remember, don't make it public, just wait for her When alone, tell her quietly so that she will be mentally prepared."
If something happened to Yuexian Palace, everyone will be punished, but what happened to Yuexian Palace happened after Lu Xinyan finished inspection and left. If the responsibility is investigated, the person most responsible is Lu Xinyan!
With Emperor Longde attaching great importance to this matter, Wu Zhen dare not imagine what kind of punishment Lu Xinyan will receive!
"Yo, what's the smell, it smells so bad?"
"It smells like burnt food. Is anyone cooking food in Yuexian Palace?"
"Who wants to die and dare to play with fire in Yuexian Palace?"
Several chattering voices came from far to near, and when they got closer, Wu Wan was the first to take the lead in exclaiming, "Second Sister Huang, what happened here?"
Wen Ruxiang opened her mouth wide in surprise, and exaggerated: "It seems that there was a fire, but what are those pieces on the ground? Did someone break something? It was specially made, unique, and it will be gone if broken!"
Zhang Ruomei took a closer look, and said in panic, "Princess, Ruxiang, Yuexian Palace has become like this, this... what should I do?"
Kong Yuxi watched the few people sing and drink coldly, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
Wu Wan accused: "Second Sister Huang, you are responsible for the layout of the dormitory, why did you make it like this?"
If Yan Qing couldn't hear it, "Princess Changping, don't talk nonsense until the matter is clarified, maybe someone deliberately wanted to plant it on Cousin Chang'an!"
Wu Wan's expression was serious, "Bold! When is it your turn to intervene when I'm talking to the second imperial sister?"
If Yan Qing still wanted to speak, Wu Zhen stopped her, "Sister Sanhuang, come with me to the emperor's grandmother and empress empress to plead guilty and ask for a clear investigation. If it is my responsibility, I will fully bear it, and I will never implicate the third emperor." Sister you."
"You have to remember what you said, don't think that I will bear it with you!" Wu Wan snorted coldly.
-
Ankangbo Mansion.
Just after dawn, the entire Ankang Mansion was busy, preparing for the return of Fourth Miss Lu Xinyun.
Lu Ziyi specially took half a day off to show how much she attaches importance to Lu Xinyun. In this era, only married women who are valued by their natal family can get more respect from their husband's family.
Lu Xinyan also said before that she would come back from the palace early in the morning, so Xiao Gao did not dare to neglect her at all. In addition, Lu Xinyun was the eldest mistress of the Shen family, and her status was no lower than that of an uncle and wife, so she welcomed the return of the uncle's wife According to the specifications, prepare for today's door-to-door reception.
Lu Xinwan's body is almost ready, and after the accident of the ghost marriage, she became much calmer and helped Xiao Gao.
The second room, Mrs. Qin, changed from set to set of clothes in the house, hoping to let her daughter see herself in good condition, and not to worry too much in Shen's house.
Until Lu Xinyun was about to arrive, she hadn't decided which set of clothes to wear, and the personal nurse couldn't help but said: "Second Madam, I don't have time, you should make up your mind quickly, it won't be good to let Fourth Miss wait."
Qin picked up a dark red one, "How about this one?"
"That's all!" After Mammy finished speaking, she immediately put away all the other clothes, and this was the end of the matter.
When Lu Xinyun was coming back, except for the second bedroom, the entire Ankangbo Mansion could not be said to be very festive, but it was also full of anticipation.
Except Lu Xinhan.
Lu Xinyun didn't come back for a month after her marriage, Lu Xinhan was the happiest, and now that she was coming back, Lu Xinhan was the most worried.
She knew very well in her heart that Lu Xinyun was not a magnanimous person, and after knowing how she designed her, she would definitely find a way to deal with her.
Earlier, Lu Xinhan designed Lu Xinwan to be the only valuable daughter in the mansion, half of the reason was to resist Lu Xinyun's revenge.
But now, everything has come to nothing, Lu Congyuan is ill, Lu Ziyi is in charge, Xiao Gao is in the palm of her hand again, she can only tuck her tail to survive, how dare she confront Lu Xinyun?
So early in the morning, Lu Xinhan wanted to stay in the house to rest on the grounds that she was unwell.
Xiao Gao flatly refused!Lu Xinyan didn't say how to deal with Lu Xinhan, Xiao Gao didn't dare to do it casually, but how could Xiao Gao miss it if she borrowed someone else's hands to deal with Lu Xinhan?
"Lily, tell Xinhan that Mrs. Shen only comes back once a month when she goes out. I don't know when she will come again next time. As Mrs. Shen's best and dearest third sister, how can she not see her? She is not feeling well. Wait a while. You don't need to greet her at the door, just wait in the room, after Mrs. Shen arrives, I will send someone to pick her up to talk to Mrs. Shen."
Several luxurious carriages stopped in front of Ankangbo's mansion, Xiao Gao took the lead to meet them, and said with a smile: "Welcome Mrs. Shen to return to the mansion."
With the support of two maidservants, the gorgeously dressed Lu Xinyun got down from the carriage. Her complexion was ruddy, her eyebrows were affectionate, and she looked extremely moisturized.
Qin's eyes turned red immediately, "Xinyun~"
Lu Xinyun smiled at Yanyan, her expression was as pure and lovely as before, "Uncle, Aunt, Second Sister, brothers and sisters, why are you all standing outside, really, I will feel bad if it is blown by such a strong wind, all of you go in Bar."
She stretched out her hand to hold Qin's hand, and said coquettishly, "Mother, my daughter misses you so much~"
Tears burst out of Qin's eyes, "Xinyun, you are at the Shen's house...how is my uncle treating you?"
Lu Xinyun's face flushed, "Oh my mother, in front of so many people, how do you ask your daughter to answer you?"
A maid next to her smiled and said, "My wife, the young master was going to accompany the young lady today, but yesterday the old lady made an impromptu arrangement for important matters, so the young master had to let the young lady come back alone! To express my apology, the young master prepared There are three carts of presents, most of which are picked by the Eldest Young Master himself! My wife, the Eldest Young Master really has nothing to say to the Young Madam."
Lu Xinyun's matching pink neck drooped, and her exposed earlobes were red.
Qin's heart was overjoyed, and she asked quietly: "It's not rumored that my uncle has a hidden disease, and it's about husband and wife..."
"Aniang, if you continue, my daughter will ignore you." Lu Xinyun blushed until she was about to bleed.
Qin said cheerfully: "Stop talking, let's go in."
She was determined now, it seemed that the rumors were wrong, Shen Qingzhu was fine at all, otherwise how could her daughter have such an expression?
The actions of the two of them also fell into Xiao Gao's eyes, and Xiao Gao's heart felt sour. If he had known that Shen Qingzhu was fine, he should have agreed to this marriage in the first place, so the one who returned home with glory today is his own heart!
But now Xiao Gao dared to think about it in his heart, and didn't dare to mess around with any crooked thoughts.
After Lu Xinyan came back from the palace, she came to Jinse Courtyard and heard Lu Xinyun's crisp laughter from a distance, as direct and pure as before she left the pavilion.
"Second sister, this is for your body."
"Thank you fourth sister."
"Third sister, this set of sapphire jewelry is for you."
"Fourth sister, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"Oh, why are my sisters being polite to me? It was given to me by Concubine Shen, but my skin color is not suitable, so I haven't worn it all the time. When I came home today, I remembered my second sister. Her gentle temperament matched this sapphire very well, so I just brought it for you, if you don't accept it, you won't give me face." Lu Xinyun took Lu Xinhan's hand and said with a smile.
Lu Xinhan's back felt chills, and she forced a smile and said, "Thank you fourth sister."
"Hey, big sister is here, I prepared this for big sister." Lu Xinyun smiled and asked the maid to present the gift, "I know big sister has everything, please don't be disgusted with big sister."
Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to accept it, and smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, "How could it be? Thank you, Fourth Sister."
"By the way, big sister, as a member of the princess reception group, you will be busy in the next few days, right?"
Lu Xinyan didn't understand why she made such a statement, so she followed the words: "If there is no accident, I will be a little busy."
"Then I would like to invite the sisters from the mansion to the Shen residence for a reunion, so I won't invite the elder sister. When the elder sister is free in the future, I will invite the elder sister alone."
"My sisters, you don't need to be so polite." Lu Xinyan came back today, giving face to Lu Ziyi, who is now in charge, not Lu Xinyun's face, so it's great not to have to act out the drama of reuniting with sisters in the house!
Lu Xinhan's face turned pale, and she unconsciously twisted the handkerchief, "Fourth sister, I feel a little unwell today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go the day after tomorrow. Please forgive me, fourth sister."
"Is the third sister sick?" Lu Xinyun said in amazement: "I just didn't realize what I said for so long!"
"Xinhan, the young lady is sincere, and I can't refuse! You can come to talk with the young lady, which means that you are only slightly unwell. Otherwise, you can go back to rest now, take good care of your body these two days, and follow me to Shen's residence the day after tomorrow. "Xiao Gao said: "Lily, take care of me carefully. If the third lady's condition gets worse, you are the only one to ask!"
Lily quickly said: "Yes, ma'am."
Lu Xinhan gritted her teeth: "Yes, mother."
After they sat for about half an hour, a servant girl came over, "Madam, lunch is ready."
"Young Madam, Princess, please go and have dinner."
A group of people left Jinse Courtyard and went to the dining hall, when the concierge suddenly came to report, "Princess, Miss Song Zhao who is beside Princess Chang'an is here."
Song Zhao came at this time, could something have happened? "Please!"
After a while Song Zhao came in, "I have seen Mrs. Uncle, Mrs. Shen, princess, ladies."
Lu Xinyan asked directly: "Sister Song Zhao, is the princess looking for something for me?"
Song Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, Princess please take a step to speak."
Wu Zhen sent someone to ask Lu Xinyan about something, so the others naturally didn't dare to stay, so they left first.
"Princess, after you left in the morning, a fire broke out in Yuexian Palace. The supplies in the bedroom were burned to ashes, and all the utensils were destroyed. The princess ordered the slaves to take you into the palace immediately."
"How could this be?" Lu Xinyan gasped.
"Princess, the princess is pleading guilty in front of the queen mother and queen. Please get on the carriage, and the servant will explain to you in detail."
Lu Xinyan nodded, "Let's go."
On the carriage, Lu Xinyan probably understood what happened.
After she left, before Wu Zhen and the others arrived, something happened to Yuexian Palace, and the culprit was said to be a wild cat.
But this is a big deal. Who can blame a cat?
If Emperor Longde finally blames her, the queen will definitely push Lu Xinyan out as a scapegoat. After all, she is one of the main persons in charge of the layout of the dormitory, and she is the last one to leave!She failed to fulfill her duty of reminder and let the wild cat take advantage of her loopholes, which is her dereliction of duty!
The carriage moved quickly, and when they reached the palace gate, Song Zhao took out Wu Zhen's signboard, and the gate guards let them go without checking.
The carriage didn't stop until it was not far from the Longevity Palace.
The queen is the head of the six palaces, and the queen mother has not fully delegated power, so the two are jointly responsible for the princess reception group.
"Grandmother, Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Changping. The day before yesterday, Changping and Second Sister Huang divided up the tasks, and Second Sister Huang was in charge of arranging the dormitory. Now that something happened, Second Sister Huang should be solely responsible."
Wu Zhen said: "Grandmother, Empress, what the third sister said is true, the decoration of the bedroom has nothing to do with the third sister, Chang'an is willing to bear all the consequences! However, there have always been no wild cats in the palace. At this juncture, they suddenly appeared and made trouble With such a big commotion, there might be something hidden behind it, please look into it, Grandmother and Queen Mother!"
"Check clearly, so what if you check? Now that something happened, who can bear the responsibility?" The queen was so angry that her heart ached, "The Wacha envoy will arrive at Tianwu in seven days, and now the Yuexian Palace is burnt like this, How to recover in just a few days? And those specially made decorations, where can they be transformed?"
When she got angry, Yan Qingruo and the others who were kneeling below were too frightened to lift their heads, and He Qingqing was even colder and regretful in her heart.
Wu Zhen lowered her head, "Chang'an knows his mistakes, if the emperor blames him, Chang'an is willing to bear it alone!"
The queen sneered and said: "It affects the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If you say you have to bear it, you will bear it. Can you afford it? I'm afraid that your life will not be enough!"
The Empress Dowager was also very angry at first, but when she heard what the Empress said about Wu Zhen, she couldn't help but excuse Wu Zhen, "Okay, Empress, if it doesn't happen, it will happen. Before we find out, who knows if it's Chang'an's fault? Chang'an Always acting cautiously, Ai Jia felt that there must be something hidden in this matter!"
Wu Wandao: "Emperor Grandmother, you are right. Chang Ping heard that it has nothing to do with the matter of the Second Huangjie. It was Zhuzhu County Master who neglected his duty and failed to fulfill his duty of reminding that this happened! The Second Huangjie is just Generations have suffered!"
Wu Zhen immediately said: "Sister Sanhuang, I am the person in charge of arranging the dormitory. If there is any problem, I should take care of it. It's not about Zhuzhu..."
The queen stretched out her hand to stop her, "Chang Ping, what did you just say? This matter has nothing to do with Chang'an, is Princess Zhuzhu negligent? What's going on?"
"After returning to my mother, after everyone left yesterday, Princess Zhuzhu was the only one who entered Yuexian Palace in the morning. Something happened as soon as she left Yuexian Palace. If it comes to the main responsibility, Princess Zhuzhu is the first person responsible! "
"Is this true?"
"Not only Chang Ping knows about this matter, but the Second Imperial Sister, Miss Yan, Miss He, and everyone in Yuexian Palace know about it. Chang Ping will never dare to speak half a lie!"
"Come here, arrest Princess Zhuzhu immediately..." The Empress was about to give an order, but the Empress Dowager suddenly interrupted, "Empress, before the matter is clearly investigated, don't yell and kill casually."
The queen said: "Mother, Chang'an is right. The sudden appearance of wild cats in the palace is extremely unusual. It happened to appear after Princess Zhuzhu left. The concubine thinks that this matter must be related to Princess Zhuzhu, and she must be taken away." Arrest them and interrogate them severely!"
Wu Zhen said anxiously: "Grandmother, Queen Mother, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zhuzhu!"
"Does it matter? You'll know if you're arrested and interrogated?" The queen glanced at Wu Zhen, then turned to the queen mother, "Queen mother, the emperor ordered the concubine to be in charge of the princess reception group. Now someone has something wrong, and the concubine must deal with it fairly. Give the emperor and Princess Wacha an explanation!"
The queen mother said lightly: "So you don't take the Ai family seriously?"
This accusation is too serious!The queen quickly knelt on the ground, "Queen mother, that's not what the concubine meant..."
The queen mother didn't even look at her, "Eunuch Lin, pass on the decree of mourning the family, and call Princess Zhuzhu into the palace to assist in the investigation of the fire in Yuexian Palace. You go in person! Remember, before the matter is found out, she will still Princess Zhuzhu, who has done a great job in rescuing her and was personally appointed by the emperor, cannot be slighted by anyone!"
These words were resounding, as if slapping the queen severely, the queen's face was extremely ugly, she gritted her teeth and endured it, and finally she endured it.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager."
Eunuch Lin was about to leave when the voice of the little eunuch came from outside: "Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, Princess Zhuzhu, please see me!"
"Let her in quickly!" The queen mother immediately said loudly, with joy and worry in her heart.
After Lu Xinyan came in with her head bowed, she knelt down to pay her respects, "Zhuzhu greets the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Princess Chang'an, and Princess Changping."
The queen mother hurriedly said: "Okay, get up and talk! Chang'an, Changping, and you all, get up."
Wu Zhen and the others knelt for a long time without yelling. Now that Lu Xinyan came, the queen mother seemed to remember that they were still kneeling. Except for Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo, many people felt very uncomfortable.
Everyone got up, only the queen was still kneeling. The queen mother didn't call the roll, so she couldn't get up.
"Queen, get up too."
"Thank you, Empress." The queen gritted her teeth and stood up.
Lu Xinyan stepped forward and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Yuexian Palace was destroyed after Zhuzhu left, Zhuzhu is bound to take responsibility, and I am willing to bear it with all my strength!"
The queen was repeatedly slapped in the face by the empress dowager, holding her breath in her heart, and her tone became sharper, "You bear it? How do you plan to bear it?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Zhuzhu is willing to rearrange Princess Waci's bedroom!"
The queen seemed to have heard a big joke, "There are still seven days at most before Princess Vaci will arrive, and all the specially ordered items have been burned. Can you rearrange the bedroom to satisfy Princess Vaci? If not, How about it?"
"Princess Ruovaci is dissatisfied, Zhuzhu is willing to listen to the empress, and will never complain!" Lu Xinyan looked calm, as if she was talking about an unimportant matter.
"Zhuzhu..." The Queen Mother and Wu Zhen exclaimed at the same time.
The queen didn't give them this chance, and quickly interjected, "Princess Zhuzhu, you said this! When Princess Ruovaci is not satisfied, all the responsibility for this matter will be borne by you alone!"
"Zhuzhu will do what she says, but Zhuzhu has a request."
"you say!"
Lu Xinyan said: "Time is tight, so do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time! Zhuzhu can't decide whether the fire in Yuexian Palace was man-made or an accident! But in order to prevent similar things from happening, Zhuzhu hopes to be responsible for rearranging the palace alone, without the need for two The princess and all the ladies help, and whether it is manpower or material allocation, whether it is selected from within the palace or purchased from outside the palace, Zhuzhu hopes to have the absolute right to mobilize and arrange!"
The empress had already seized the opportunity at this time, forcing Lu Xinyan to make a promise in public, so she no longer responded with all her strength, but turned to ask the empress dowager for her opinion, "Mother, this matter is of great importance, you see..."
The queen mother sneered in her heart, the queen's methods are getting more and more powerful, first to achieve her own goals, to win her own interests, but now when faced with responsibilities, she pulls her to resist together!If it was someone else, the Empress Dowager would probably have declined, but because it was Lu Xinyan, the Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family thinks what Zhu Zhu said is very true, and she will do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time! The Ai family agrees to her request, what do you think, Empress?"
The empress was just sure about the empress dowager's liking for Lu Xinyan, so she took the empress dowager with her. If something happened when she let go of her power, if the empress dowager took the responsibility, her responsibility would be much smaller.
After leaving the Longevity Palace, Wu Wan said maliciously: "Princess Zhuzhu, I am looking forward to your next performance! In other words, I am looking forward to seeing your final end!"
Dare to rob Xiao Shizi from her, it is simply beyond her control!
Wen Ruxiang followed and said: "Princess, the end will be too bloody, you'd better stop watching, lest you have a nightmare!"
This is a curse that Lu Xinyan will definitely fail in the end and be executed by the emperor.
Yan Qingruo said angrily: "Wen Ruxiang, are you talking about yourself?"
Wu Zhen pulled her back, "Okay, don't make trouble for Zhuzhu, instead of getting angry with others, you should think about how to help her."
Zhang Ruomei, whose face was still intact, said generously: "Princess Zhuzhu, we are all members of the princess reception team, if there is any need for help, please feel free to speak up."
Lu Xinyan smiled and thanked, "Thank you Miss Zhang."
After Wu Wan and the others left, He Qingqing timidly said: "Princess, what are you going to do next? How about we help find a solution together?"
"That's right, Sister Zhuzhu, let's do it together." Yan Qingruo echoed.
Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "I just said that one person should be responsible, you all go to other things."
If Yan Qingruo wanted to say more, Wu Zhen tugged at her sleeve, "The fire in Yuexian Palace is too strange, the possibility of man-made is more than accidental, I agree with Zhuzhu to keep the next thing secret, so as to avoid further accidents. "
"Sister Zhuzhu, you don't suspect me, do you?" Yan Qingruo pouted.
Lu Xinyan pinched her pursed lips, "No one doubts you, silly girl."
Only then did Yan Qingruo smile.
"Princess, who do you suspect?" He Qingqing asked nervously.
Lu Xinyan spread her hands, "Everyone is suspicious, but I don't have time to investigate now, the real thing is to rearrange the dormitory."
"Zhuzhu, just say when you need help!"
Lu Xinyan thought for a while, "It really is!"
"Call General Li Yu Zuo Lang and ask him to lead people to guard the Yuehua Palace!" The Yuexian Palace burned down, and the Yuehua Palace not far from it was designated as Princess Wacha's bedroom.
"I'll send someone to do it right away."
"In the future, Sister Song Zhao will be responsible for the diet of everyone in Yuehua Palace!"
"Zhuzhu is very thoughtful, I will arrange it right away." Wu Zhen said, "Is there any more?"
"temporarily unavailable."
"Sister Zhuzhu, is there anyone who needs my help?"
Lu Xinyan stretched out her hands, pinched the left and right sides of her small face, and raised her lightly, "You, eat well, drink well, sleep well, and smile as much as before, it will help me."
"It's simple." Yan Qingruo showed her a big smile, "Is this all right?"
Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, Wu Zhen also laughed, only He Qingqing smiled reluctantly.
Zhaoyang Palace.
Zhang Ruomei cautiously said: "Princess, little girl, seeing Lu Xinyan's confident look just now, do you think she really has some strange tricks?"
Wu Wan said disdainfully: "Yuexian Palace is the best palace in the palace to receive envoys and female relatives. The decorations inside were specially formulated by the Ministry of Rites according to the Wacha style presented by the Ministry of War. Now everything is ruined. Could it be that she, Lu Xinyan, can use magic spells?" restore everything?"
"Princess, don't be afraid of [-], just in case." Wen Ruxiang agreed with Zhang Ruomei, remembering how many ways they thought of to deal with Lu Xinyan, how many times did she not hide in the end?But Wen Ruxiang didn't dare to say these words in front of Wu Wan.
"Since you all said that, let's call that He Qingqing to ask."
Wen Ruxiang said: "Ruxiang will do it right away."
"By the way, Ruxiang, how is the internal affairs of Yuexian Palace going?"
"It has been dealt with cleanly, and no one will find the handle."
"Very good." A sneer flashed across Wu Wan's mouth, "Lu Xinyan, this time, wash your neck and prepare to die!"
When He Qingqing was called to Zhaoyang Palace, she was terrified, "See Princess Changping."
To be honest, after the scene in the Longevity Palace, He Qingqing was frightened to death, she was on Wu Zhen and Lu Xinyan's side, if something happened to Lu Xinyan, she must be jointly and severally responsible!Therefore, she didn't dare to think about father being promoted and getting rich, and she wanted to find Mr. Ruyi. She made up her mind not to join forces with Wu Wan and others, and to do the reception work well this time is the most important thing. .
When Wen Ruxiang was looking for her, He Qingqing excused that she was unwell, and Wen Ruxiang smiled slightly, "Miss He, it's easy to get on the boat, but it's not so easy to get off the boat!"
He Qingqing was startled, "What does Miss Wen mean by that?"
"You took Ruomei's Buddhist beads, dragged Princess Chang'an this morning, and caused a fire in Yuexian Palace. If Princess Chang'an and others find out about this, what do you think will happen to you?"
"You... you threatened me?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Ms. He can decide how to choose."
After Wen Ruxiang finished speaking, she turned and left.
Shocked and frightened, He Qingqing was stunned for a few moments, and immediately followed Wen Ruxiang away.
Wu Wan said kindly: "Miss He, don't be too polite, just sit down and talk."
He Qingqing already knew that this kindness was all a fake, so how dare she sit down? "The body of a princess is a daughter of gold, and the little girl dare not face her face directly."
Wu Wan just said casually, how can a daughter of a fifth-rank doctor deserve to sit in front of her?She glanced at Zhang Ruomei, and Zhang Ruomei immediately said: "Miss He, the princess wants to know how the princess will arrange next?"
"Back to the princess, the princess has already said that she is responsible for it alone, so the little girl doesn't know." Although he had to come, He Qingqing has decided not to participate in their plot.
Wu Wan sneered, Zhang Ruomei's face sank, "Miss He, it's fine to tell others about it, how can you hide it from the princess?"
He Qingqing immediately knelt on the ground, "Princess forgive me, both Princess Chang'an and the princess have noticed that there is something wrong with the fire in Yuexian Palace, so they decided to act in secret for fear that someone would play tricks, so the little girl really doesn't know anything."
"So, they suspect you?" Wu Wan said quietly: "Do you know how I will deal with a useless chess piece?"
The undisguised murderous intent in that voice scared He Qingqing into a cold sweat, "They didn't suspect the little girl, they only said that everyone was suspicious."
"Since they didn't suspect you, why would they discuss it behind your back? Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you want to betray me?" Wu Wan slapped the armrest hard, "It's no good for anyone who betrays me. Come on! Someone, drag He Qingqing down, and beat him with fifty sticks on the pretext of colliding with the palace!"
Will she still be alive if the fifty boards go down?He Qingqing regretted that she was mistaken for being a thief because of her greed, but there is no medicine for regret in this world!Caught by the arms of the two maids, she cried bitterly, "Princess, spare me! The princess only said that he would find Mr. Li Yu and Li to guard the Yuehua Palace, and let Sister Song Zhao take care of the food. He really didn't say anything else!"
"Just say no obediently earlier?" Wu Wan waved her hand, and the two maids let go immediately. He Qingqing slid to the ground with a lot of snot and tears. , lest Lu Xinyan see the clues! No matter what you see or hear in the future, you must report to me in detail, you know? I will judge whether the information is useful or not!"
"Yes, princess." He Qingqing prostrated on the ground, lost in spirit.
After the maid took her down to wash and wash, Wen Ruxiang said: "Princess, it seems that Lu Xinyan really has a solution."
Wu Wan sneered, "So what? As long as she uses people in the palace, I will have a way to buy her off, so that she will fail!"
When He Qingqing was leaving the palace, he happened to meet Yan Qingruo, "Hey, sister He, didn't you leave the palace half an hour ago? Why did you just leave the palace now?"
He Qingqing forced a smile, "I feel bad when the Moon Fairy Palace is burned. I went around to look around for a few times, and accidentally forgot the time."
Yan Qingruo suddenly realized, "No wonder Sister He's eyes are a little red! Don't worry, Sister Zhuzhu is very capable. She said she can get it done, so don't worry!"
-
Lu Xinyan left the palace non-stop, went to the Suyifang to find Ye Shuang, and explained her intentions, "Aunt Ye, something happened to the Yuexian Palace in the palace that is in charge of receiving Princess Waci, and the decorations inside need to be rearranged. I need your help!"
Ye Shuang shuddered all over, "Say it!"
"Help me get [-] trustworthy embroiderers and [-] pieces of cloth..." Lu Xinyan took out a list.
Ye Shuang took it, "It will be done within half an hour!"
"I'm afraid I don't have time to go out of the palace these few days. If Aunt Ye has something to go to the palace to find Li Yu directly, he will notify me." Lu Xinyan said: "Please ask Aunt Ye to follow up on the costumes for the performance on 25 night."
After the task was assigned the day before yesterday, Lu Xinyan immediately drew twenty sets of clothes and sent someone to deliver them to Ye Shuang.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye will definitely hand over clothes that satisfy you."
"Thank you, Aunt Ye."
Before returning to the palace, Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to find Uncle Tian.
Uncle Tian has recuperated for nearly a month, and his body has recovered more than half, but the effort of decades is gone.
Lu Xinyan didn't want to trouble him at first, but now the matter is too urgent, so he had to ask him to do it himself.
After everything was arranged properly, Lu Xinyan brought twenty embroiderers and several carts of cloth into the palace.
The guards at the palace gate have already been ordered that as long as it is Lu Xinyan's things, they don't need to be inspected, nor can they be inspected, so they let them go immediately.
Outside Yuehua Palace, Li Yu was guarding there with several hundred imperial guards.
"Princess." He waved happily, smiling like a child, completely lacking the demeanor of General Zuo Lang of the Imperial Forest Army.
Those under him would complain in private at the beginning, but they gradually learned to ignore it.
"Li Yu!" It was the first time Lu Xinyan saw Li Yu wearing the Imperial Forest Army uniform, and looked him up curiously, "It's quite majestic."
Li Yu chuckled and scratched his head with his hands.
"Li Yu, wait for a while, I will take you to a place after I arrange the people."
After Lu Xinyan arranged the jobs for those embroiderers, she took Li Yu to Yuexian Palace.
The Yuexian Palace, which was originally bustling with excitement, was now completely scorched and desolately cold, except for a young eunuch who was guarding it.
"Li Yu, you've heard what happened in Yuexian Palace, right? I won't repeat it. There must be something wrong with this matter. Go in and smell it to see if you can find any new clues."
Li Yu went in without hesitation.
It came out after a while, holding a few slender, blackened things in his hand, "Princess, I found this inside."
"what is this?"
"fish bone."
fish bone?Lu Xinyan thought about it, "The cat will come in, does it have something to do with this fish bone?"
"It should be. I found the fish bones in the broken porcelain." Li Yu said: "I guess someone put the fish bones in those decorations and lured the cat here. The cat smelled fish and ate them again." If he didn't, he overturned the utensils that were displayed."
Lu Xinyan held the fishbone, her eyes became colder, "It seems that someone in Yuexian Palace has been bribed because I can put the fishbone in the display."
"I'll ask the Imperial Forest Army to investigate immediately!"
"I'm sorry, Li Yu!"
"No trouble, it's..." When the next word came out of my mouth, Li Yu abruptly took it back, and smiled, "You call Ajin Fourth Aunt, and if you help me, you are helping Ajin."
Lu Xinyan didn't notice his strangeness, "Thank you anyway."
Li Yu secretly said, "It's dangerous!"When he came here, Xiao Yichen specially confessed to him that no matter what request Lu Xinyan made, he would go all out to meet it, and he would do his best to solve it!Don't let him say that he is helping behind the scenes!Otherwise, I will settle the revenge with him for stealing his auspicious wedding day!
Li Yu boldly asked at that time, "If I don't agree, how will Xiao Shizi plan to settle it?"
Xiao Yichen glanced down at him lightly, "I heard that there is a medicine that can make people paralyzed for half a year."
Li Yu's three legs were trembling, "Xiao... Xiao Shizi, I... I'm just kidding, I will definitely do it! I will do whatever the princess says, and I will do it for her if I don't say anything!"
Xiao Yichen glanced at him, and walked away with his hands clasped behind his back.
Li Yu thought about it now, and felt that it was chilly down there.
The meals for everyone in Yuehua Palace were cooked under Song Zhao's personal supervision and then delivered. Just in case, before eating, Lu Xinyan asked Li Yu to smell them first, and only ate them if they didn't find anything unusual.
No one thought she was making a big fuss, after all, if something went wrong again this time, it would definitely kill her!

(End of this chapter)
The little maid hurriedly knelt down, "Sister Song Zhao, forgive me, there is a fire in Yuexian Palace, and the slaves are in a hurry to put out the fire, so..."
"What?" Wu Zhen and the three were taken aback, "A fire broke out in Yuexian Palace? How could there be a fire?"
"Back to Princess Chang'an, the maidservants are not too clear about it. I heard that a stray cat came from nowhere and smashed all the utensils in the house. It also overturned the candlestick and burned the veil. This caused the fire!"
Wu Zhen asked sharply: "Isn't Yuexian Palace guarded by palace guards? How could the cat run in?"
The little maid trembled, and said bravely: "Princess Zhuzhu came to check in the morning and found some problems, so I asked a few sisters to correct them, but they all left."
Wu Zhen took a deep breath, "Take Ben Gong to have a look!"
"Princess, the fire in the Yuexian Palace has not been completely extinguished. If you have a thousand gold body, if there is any mistake, the slaves can't afford it. Please move the princess to Fengxian Palace..."
"Lead the way quickly!" Wu Zhen yelled lightly, the princess lost her aura, and the little maid immediately said tremblingly: "Yes, princess, please come with your servants."
At this time, the Moon Fairy Palace was filled with smoke, and it was a mess. The choking smell of smoke permeated the whole Moon Fairy Palace. Wu Zhen stood at the door, holding her nose, looking through the smoke and looking at the ground that hadn't been cleaned up yet. The wreckage was immobilized as if trapped in a hole.
Yan Qingruo tugged on Wu Zhen's sleeve, crying in her voice, "Cousin Chang'an, what should I do? Princess Waci will be here in a few days."
They messed up something that Emperor Longde valued so much, no one knows what kind of punishment they will face!
He Qingqing was also dumbfounded, she didn't expect Wu Wan and the others to be so bold as to burn down Yuexian Palace!
If something happened to Yuexian Palace, the entire princess reception team would have to be punished. They were either the princess or the daughters of princesses or first-rank officials. She was the only daughter of a doctor. Who would protect her?He Qingqing deeply regrets what he promised yesterday in a moment of fever. He clearly said that he was dealing with Lu Xinyan alone, and she would not be implicated in it. How could it be like this?
Wu Zhen clasped her hands tightly together, and after taking a few deep breaths, she tried to calm herself down, "Song Zhao, take my card and go out of the palace to find Zhuzhu! Remember, don't make it public, just wait for her When alone, tell her quietly so that she will be mentally prepared."
If something happened to Yuexian Palace, everyone will be punished, but what happened to Yuexian Palace happened after Lu Xinyan finished inspection and left. If the responsibility is investigated, the person most responsible is Lu Xinyan!
With Emperor Longde attaching great importance to this matter, Wu Zhen dare not imagine what kind of punishment Lu Xinyan will receive!
"Yo, what's the smell, it smells so bad?"
"It smells like burnt food. Is anyone cooking food in Yuexian Palace?"
"Who wants to die and dare to play with fire in Yuexian Palace?"
Several chattering voices came from far to near, and when they got closer, Wu Wan was the first to take the lead in exclaiming, "Second Sister Huang, what happened here?"
Wen Ruxiang opened her mouth wide in surprise, and exaggerated: "It seems that there was a fire, but what are those pieces on the ground? Did someone break something? It was specially made, unique, and it will be gone if broken!"
Zhang Ruomei took a closer look, and said in panic, "Princess, Ruxiang, Yuexian Palace has become like this, this... what should I do?"
Kong Yuxi watched the few people sing and drink coldly, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
Wu Wan accused: "Second Sister Huang, you are responsible for the layout of the dormitory, why did you make it like this?"
If Yan Qing couldn't hear it, "Princess Changping, don't talk nonsense until the matter is clarified, maybe someone deliberately wanted to plant it on Cousin Chang'an!"
Wu Wan's expression was serious, "Bold! When is it your turn to intervene when I'm talking to the second imperial sister?"
If Yan Qing still wanted to speak, Wu Zhen stopped her, "Sister Sanhuang, come with me to the emperor's grandmother and empress empress to plead guilty and ask for a clear investigation. If it is my responsibility, I will fully bear it, and I will never implicate the third emperor." Sister you."
"You have to remember what you said, don't think that I will bear it with you!" Wu Wan snorted coldly.
-
Ankangbo Mansion.
Just after dawn, the entire Ankang Mansion was busy, preparing for the return of Fourth Miss Lu Xinyun.
Lu Ziyi specially took half a day off to show how much she attaches importance to Lu Xinyun. In this era, only married women who are valued by their natal family can get more respect from their husband's family.
Lu Xinyan also said before that she would come back from the palace early in the morning, so Xiao Gao did not dare to neglect her at all. In addition, Lu Xinyun was the eldest mistress of the Shen family, and her status was no lower than that of an uncle and wife, so she welcomed the return of the uncle's wife According to the specifications, prepare for today's door-to-door reception.
Lu Xinwan's body is almost ready, and after the accident of the ghost marriage, she became much calmer and helped Xiao Gao.
The second room, Mrs. Qin, changed from set to set of clothes in the house, hoping to let her daughter see herself in good condition, and not to worry too much in Shen's house.
Until Lu Xinyun was about to arrive, she hadn't decided which set of clothes to wear, and the personal nurse couldn't help but said: "Second Madam, I don't have time, you should make up your mind quickly, it won't be good to let Fourth Miss wait."
Qin picked up a dark red one, "How about this one?"
"That's all!" After Mammy finished speaking, she immediately put away all the other clothes, and this was the end of the matter.
When Lu Xinyun was coming back, except for the second bedroom, the entire Ankangbo Mansion could not be said to be very festive, but it was also full of anticipation.
Except Lu Xinhan.
Lu Xinyun didn't come back for a month after her marriage, Lu Xinhan was the happiest, and now that she was coming back, Lu Xinhan was the most worried.
She knew very well in her heart that Lu Xinyun was not a magnanimous person, and after knowing how she designed her, she would definitely find a way to deal with her.
Earlier, Lu Xinhan designed Lu Xinwan to be the only valuable daughter in the mansion, half of the reason was to resist Lu Xinyun's revenge.
But now, everything has come to nothing, Lu Congyuan is ill, Lu Ziyi is in charge, Xiao Gao is in the palm of her hand again, she can only tuck her tail to survive, how dare she confront Lu Xinyun?
So early in the morning, Lu Xinhan wanted to stay in the house to rest on the grounds that she was unwell.
Xiao Gao flatly refused!Lu Xinyan didn't say how to deal with Lu Xinhan, Xiao Gao didn't dare to do it casually, but how could Xiao Gao miss it if she borrowed someone else's hands to deal with Lu Xinhan?
"Lily, tell Xinhan that Mrs. Shen only comes back once a month when she goes out. I don't know when she will come again next time. As Mrs. Shen's best and dearest third sister, how can she not see her? She is not feeling well. Wait a while. You don't need to greet her at the door, just wait in the room, after Mrs. Shen arrives, I will send someone to pick her up to talk to Mrs. Shen."
Several luxurious carriages stopped in front of Ankangbo's mansion, Xiao Gao took the lead to meet them, and said with a smile: "Welcome Mrs. Shen to return to the mansion."
With the support of two maidservants, the gorgeously dressed Lu Xinyun got down from the carriage. Her complexion was ruddy, her eyebrows were affectionate, and she looked extremely moisturized.
Qin's eyes turned red immediately, "Xinyun~"
Lu Xinyun smiled at Yanyan, her expression was as pure and lovely as before, "Uncle, Aunt, Second Sister, brothers and sisters, why are you all standing outside, really, I will feel bad if it is blown by such a strong wind, all of you go in Bar."
She stretched out her hand to hold Qin's hand, and said coquettishly, "Mother, my daughter misses you so much~"
Tears burst out of Qin's eyes, "Xinyun, you are at the Shen's house...how is my uncle treating you?"
Lu Xinyun's face flushed, "Oh my mother, in front of so many people, how do you ask your daughter to answer you?"
A maid next to her smiled and said, "My wife, the young master was going to accompany the young lady today, but yesterday the old lady made an impromptu arrangement for important matters, so the young master had to let the young lady come back alone! To express my apology, the young master prepared There are three carts of presents, most of which are picked by the Eldest Young Master himself! My wife, the Eldest Young Master really has nothing to say to the Young Madam."
Lu Xinyun's matching pink neck drooped, and her exposed earlobes were red.
Qin's heart was overjoyed, and she asked quietly: "It's not rumored that my uncle has a hidden disease, and it's about husband and wife..."
"Aniang, if you continue, my daughter will ignore you." Lu Xinyun blushed until she was about to bleed.
Qin said cheerfully: "Stop talking, let's go in."
She was determined now, it seemed that the rumors were wrong, Shen Qingzhu was fine at all, otherwise how could her daughter have such an expression?
The actions of the two of them also fell into Xiao Gao's eyes, and Xiao Gao's heart felt sour. If he had known that Shen Qingzhu was fine, he should have agreed to this marriage in the first place, so the one who returned home with glory today is his own heart!
But now Xiao Gao dared to think about it in his heart, and didn't dare to mess around with any crooked thoughts.
After Lu Xinyan came back from the palace, she came to Jinse Courtyard and heard Lu Xinyun's crisp laughter from a distance, as direct and pure as before she left the pavilion.
"Second sister, this is for your body."
"Thank you fourth sister."
"Third sister, this set of sapphire jewelry is for you."
"Fourth sister, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"Oh, why are my sisters being polite to me? It was given to me by Concubine Shen, but my skin color is not suitable, so I haven't worn it all the time. When I came home today, I remembered my second sister. Her gentle temperament matched this sapphire very well, so I just brought it for you, if you don't accept it, you won't give me face." Lu Xinyun took Lu Xinhan's hand and said with a smile.
Lu Xinhan's back felt chills, and she forced a smile and said, "Thank you fourth sister."
"Hey, big sister is here, I prepared this for big sister." Lu Xinyun smiled and asked the maid to present the gift, "I know big sister has everything, please don't be disgusted with big sister."
Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to accept it, and smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, "How could it be? Thank you, Fourth Sister."
"By the way, big sister, as a member of the princess reception group, you will be busy in the next few days, right?"
Lu Xinyan didn't understand why she made such a statement, so she followed the words: "If there is no accident, I will be a little busy."
"Then I would like to invite the sisters from the mansion to the Shen residence for a reunion, so I won't invite the elder sister. When the elder sister is free in the future, I will invite the elder sister alone."
"My sisters, you don't need to be so polite." Lu Xinyan came back today, giving face to Lu Ziyi, who is now in charge, not Lu Xinyun's face, so it's great not to have to act out the drama of reuniting with sisters in the house!
Lu Xinhan's face turned pale, and she unconsciously twisted the handkerchief, "Fourth sister, I feel a little unwell today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go the day after tomorrow. Please forgive me, fourth sister."
"Is the third sister sick?" Lu Xinyun said in amazement: "I just didn't realize what I said for so long!"
"Xinhan, the young lady is sincere, and I can't refuse! You can come to talk with the young lady, which means that you are only slightly unwell. Otherwise, you can go back to rest now, take good care of your body these two days, and follow me to Shen's residence the day after tomorrow. "Xiao Gao said: "Lily, take care of me carefully. If the third lady's condition gets worse, you are the only one to ask!"
Lily quickly said: "Yes, ma'am."
Lu Xinhan gritted her teeth: "Yes, mother."
After they sat for about half an hour, a servant girl came over, "Madam, lunch is ready."
"Young Madam, Princess, please go and have dinner."
A group of people left Jinse Courtyard and went to the dining hall, when the concierge suddenly came to report, "Princess, Miss Song Zhao who is beside Princess Chang'an is here."
Song Zhao came at this time, could something have happened? "Please!"
After a while Song Zhao came in, "I have seen Mrs. Uncle, Mrs. Shen, princess, ladies."
Lu Xinyan asked directly: "Sister Song Zhao, is the princess looking for something for me?"
Song Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, Princess please take a step to speak."
Wu Zhen sent someone to ask Lu Xinyan about something, so the others naturally didn't dare to stay, so they left first.
"Princess, after you left in the morning, a fire broke out in Yuexian Palace. The supplies in the bedroom were burned to ashes, and all the utensils were destroyed. The princess ordered the slaves to take you into the palace immediately."
"How could this be?" Lu Xinyan gasped.
"Princess, the princess is pleading guilty in front of the queen mother and queen. Please get on the carriage, and the servant will explain to you in detail."
Lu Xinyan nodded, "Let's go."
On the carriage, Lu Xinyan probably understood what happened.
After she left, before Wu Zhen and the others arrived, something happened to Yuexian Palace, and the culprit was said to be a wild cat.
But this is a big deal. Who can blame a cat?
If Emperor Longde finally blames her, the queen will definitely push Lu Xinyan out as a scapegoat. After all, she is one of the main persons in charge of the layout of the dormitory, and she is the last one to leave!She failed to fulfill her duty of reminder and let the wild cat take advantage of her loopholes, which is her dereliction of duty!
The carriage moved quickly, and when they reached the palace gate, Song Zhao took out Wu Zhen's signboard, and the gate guards let them go without checking.
The carriage didn't stop until it was not far from the Longevity Palace.
The queen is the head of the six palaces, and the queen mother has not fully delegated power, so the two are jointly responsible for the princess reception group.
"Grandmother, Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Changping. The day before yesterday, Changping and Second Sister Huang divided up the tasks, and Second Sister Huang was in charge of arranging the dormitory. Now that something happened, Second Sister Huang should be solely responsible."
Wu Zhen said: "Grandmother, Empress, what the third sister said is true, the decoration of the bedroom has nothing to do with the third sister, Chang'an is willing to bear all the consequences! However, there have always been no wild cats in the palace. At this juncture, they suddenly appeared and made trouble With such a big commotion, there might be something hidden behind it, please look into it, Grandmother and Queen Mother!"
"Check clearly, so what if you check? Now that something happened, who can bear the responsibility?" The queen was so angry that her heart ached, "The Wacha envoy will arrive at Tianwu in seven days, and now the Yuexian Palace is burnt like this, How to recover in just a few days? And those specially made decorations, where can they be transformed?"
When she got angry, Yan Qingruo and the others who were kneeling below were too frightened to lift their heads, and He Qingqing was even colder and regretful in her heart.
Wu Zhen lowered her head, "Chang'an knows his mistakes, if the emperor blames him, Chang'an is willing to bear it alone!"
The queen sneered and said: "It affects the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If you say you have to bear it, you will bear it. Can you afford it? I'm afraid that your life will not be enough!"
The Empress Dowager was also very angry at first, but when she heard what the Empress said about Wu Zhen, she couldn't help but excuse Wu Zhen, "Okay, Empress, if it doesn't happen, it will happen. Before we find out, who knows if it's Chang'an's fault? Chang'an Always acting cautiously, Ai Jia felt that there must be something hidden in this matter!"
Wu Wandao: "Emperor Grandmother, you are right. Chang Ping heard that it has nothing to do with the matter of the Second Huangjie. It was Zhuzhu County Master who neglected his duty and failed to fulfill his duty of reminding that this happened! The Second Huangjie is just Generations have suffered!"
Wu Zhen immediately said: "Sister Sanhuang, I am the person in charge of arranging the dormitory. If there is any problem, I should take care of it. It's not about Zhuzhu..."
The queen stretched out her hand to stop her, "Chang Ping, what did you just say? This matter has nothing to do with Chang'an, is Princess Zhuzhu negligent? What's going on?"
"After returning to my mother, after everyone left yesterday, Princess Zhuzhu was the only one who entered Yuexian Palace in the morning. Something happened as soon as she left Yuexian Palace. If it comes to the main responsibility, Princess Zhuzhu is the first person responsible! "
"Is this true?"
"Not only Chang Ping knows about this matter, but the Second Imperial Sister, Miss Yan, Miss He, and everyone in Yuexian Palace know about it. Chang Ping will never dare to speak half a lie!"
"Come here, arrest Princess Zhuzhu immediately..." The Empress was about to give an order, but the Empress Dowager suddenly interrupted, "Empress, before the matter is clearly investigated, don't yell and kill casually."
The queen said: "Mother, Chang'an is right. The sudden appearance of wild cats in the palace is extremely unusual. It happened to appear after Princess Zhuzhu left. The concubine thinks that this matter must be related to Princess Zhuzhu, and she must be taken away." Arrest them and interrogate them severely!"
Wu Zhen said anxiously: "Grandmother, Queen Mother, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zhuzhu!"
"Does it matter? You'll know if you're arrested and interrogated?" The queen glanced at Wu Zhen, then turned to the queen mother, "Queen mother, the emperor ordered the concubine to be in charge of the princess reception group. Now someone has something wrong, and the concubine must deal with it fairly. Give the emperor and Princess Wacha an explanation!"
The queen mother said lightly: "So you don't take the Ai family seriously?"
This accusation is too serious!The queen quickly knelt on the ground, "Queen mother, that's not what the concubine meant..."
The queen mother didn't even look at her, "Eunuch Lin, pass on the decree of mourning the family, and call Princess Zhuzhu into the palace to assist in the investigation of the fire in Yuexian Palace. You go in person! Remember, before the matter is found out, she will still Princess Zhuzhu, who has done a great job in rescuing her and was personally appointed by the emperor, cannot be slighted by anyone!"
These words were resounding, as if slapping the queen severely, the queen's face was extremely ugly, she gritted her teeth and endured it, and finally she endured it.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager."
Eunuch Lin was about to leave when the voice of the little eunuch came from outside: "Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, Princess Zhuzhu, please see me!"
"Let her in quickly!" The queen mother immediately said loudly, with joy and worry in her heart.
After Lu Xinyan came in with her head bowed, she knelt down to pay her respects, "Zhuzhu greets the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Princess Chang'an, and Princess Changping."
The queen mother hurriedly said: "Okay, get up and talk! Chang'an, Changping, and you all, get up."
Wu Zhen and the others knelt for a long time without yelling. Now that Lu Xinyan came, the queen mother seemed to remember that they were still kneeling. Except for Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo, many people felt very uncomfortable.
Everyone got up, only the queen was still kneeling. The queen mother didn't call the roll, so she couldn't get up.
"Queen, get up too."
"Thank you, Empress." The queen gritted her teeth and stood up.
Lu Xinyan stepped forward and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Yuexian Palace was destroyed after Zhuzhu left, Zhuzhu is bound to take responsibility, and I am willing to bear it with all my strength!"
The queen was repeatedly slapped in the face by the empress dowager, holding her breath in her heart, and her tone became sharper, "You bear it? How do you plan to bear it?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Zhuzhu is willing to rearrange Princess Waci's bedroom!"
The queen seemed to have heard a big joke, "There are still seven days at most before Princess Vaci will arrive, and all the specially ordered items have been burned. Can you rearrange the bedroom to satisfy Princess Vaci? If not, How about it?"
"Princess Ruovaci is dissatisfied, Zhuzhu is willing to listen to the empress, and will never complain!" Lu Xinyan looked calm, as if she was talking about an unimportant matter.
"Zhuzhu..." The Queen Mother and Wu Zhen exclaimed at the same time.
The queen didn't give them this chance, and quickly interjected, "Princess Zhuzhu, you said this! When Princess Ruovaci is not satisfied, all the responsibility for this matter will be borne by you alone!"
"Zhuzhu will do what she says, but Zhuzhu has a request."
"you say!"
Lu Xinyan said: "Time is tight, so do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time! Zhuzhu can't decide whether the fire in Yuexian Palace was man-made or an accident! But in order to prevent similar things from happening, Zhuzhu hopes to be responsible for rearranging the palace alone, without the need for two The princess and all the ladies help, and whether it is manpower or material allocation, whether it is selected from within the palace or purchased from outside the palace, Zhuzhu hopes to have the absolute right to mobilize and arrange!"
The empress had already seized the opportunity at this time, forcing Lu Xinyan to make a promise in public, so she no longer responded with all her strength, but turned to ask the empress dowager for her opinion, "Mother, this matter is of great importance, you see..."
The queen mother sneered in her heart, the queen's methods are getting more and more powerful, first to achieve her own goals, to win her own interests, but now when faced with responsibilities, she pulls her to resist together!If it was someone else, the Empress Dowager would probably have declined, but because it was Lu Xinyan, the Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family thinks what Zhu Zhu said is very true, and she will do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time! The Ai family agrees to her request, what do you think, Empress?"
The empress was just sure about the empress dowager's liking for Lu Xinyan, so she took the empress dowager with her. If something happened when she let go of her power, if the empress dowager took the responsibility, her responsibility would be much smaller.
After leaving the Longevity Palace, Wu Wan said maliciously: "Princess Zhuzhu, I am looking forward to your next performance! In other words, I am looking forward to seeing your final end!"
Dare to rob Xiao Shizi from her, it is simply beyond her control!
Wen Ruxiang followed and said: "Princess, the end will be too bloody, you'd better stop watching, lest you have a nightmare!"
This is a curse that Lu Xinyan will definitely fail in the end and be executed by the emperor.
Yan Qingruo said angrily: "Wen Ruxiang, are you talking about yourself?"
Wu Zhen pulled her back, "Okay, don't make trouble for Zhuzhu, instead of getting angry with others, you should think about how to help her."
Zhang Ruomei, whose face was still intact, said generously: "Princess Zhuzhu, we are all members of the princess reception team, if there is any need for help, please feel free to speak up."
Lu Xinyan smiled and thanked, "Thank you Miss Zhang."
After Wu Wan and the others left, He Qingqing timidly said: "Princess, what are you going to do next? How about we help find a solution together?"
"That's right, Sister Zhuzhu, let's do it together." Yan Qingruo echoed.
Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "I just said that one person should be responsible, you all go to other things."
If Yan Qingruo wanted to say more, Wu Zhen tugged at her sleeve, "The fire in Yuexian Palace is too strange, the possibility of man-made is more than accidental, I agree with Zhuzhu to keep the next thing secret, so as to avoid further accidents. "
"Sister Zhuzhu, you don't suspect me, do you?" Yan Qingruo pouted.
Lu Xinyan pinched her pursed lips, "No one doubts you, silly girl."
Only then did Yan Qingruo smile.
"Princess, who do you suspect?" He Qingqing asked nervously.
Lu Xinyan spread her hands, "Everyone is suspicious, but I don't have time to investigate now, the real thing is to rearrange the dormitory."
"Zhuzhu, just say when you need help!"
Lu Xinyan thought for a while, "It really is!"
"Call General Li Yu Zuo Lang and ask him to lead people to guard the Yuehua Palace!" The Yuexian Palace burned down, and the Yuehua Palace not far from it was designated as Princess Wacha's bedroom.
"I'll send someone to do it right away."
"In the future, Sister Song Zhao will be responsible for the diet of everyone in Yuehua Palace!"
"Zhuzhu is very thoughtful, I will arrange it right away." Wu Zhen said, "Is there any more?"
"temporarily unavailable."
"Sister Zhuzhu, is there anyone who needs my help?"
Lu Xinyan stretched out her hands, pinched the left and right sides of her small face, and raised her lightly, "You, eat well, drink well, sleep well, and smile as much as before, it will help me."
"It's simple." Yan Qingruo showed her a big smile, "Is this all right?"
Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, Wu Zhen also laughed, only He Qingqing smiled reluctantly.
Zhaoyang Palace.
Zhang Ruomei cautiously said: "Princess, little girl, seeing Lu Xinyan's confident look just now, do you think she really has some strange tricks?"
Wu Wan said disdainfully: "Yuexian Palace is the best palace in the palace to receive envoys and female relatives. The decorations inside were specially formulated by the Ministry of Rites according to the Wacha style presented by the Ministry of War. Now everything is ruined. Could it be that she, Lu Xinyan, can use magic spells?" restore everything?"
"Princess, don't be afraid of [-], just in case." Wen Ruxiang agreed with Zhang Ruomei, remembering how many ways they thought of to deal with Lu Xinyan, how many times did she not hide in the end?But Wen Ruxiang didn't dare to say these words in front of Wu Wan.
"Since you all said that, let's call that He Qingqing to ask."
Wen Ruxiang said: "Ruxiang will do it right away."
"By the way, Ruxiang, how is the internal affairs of Yuexian Palace going?"
"It has been dealt with cleanly, and no one will find the handle."
"Very good." A sneer flashed across Wu Wan's mouth, "Lu Xinyan, this time, wash your neck and prepare to die!"
When He Qingqing was called to Zhaoyang Palace, she was terrified, "See Princess Changping."
To be honest, after the scene in the Longevity Palace, He Qingqing was frightened to death, she was on Wu Zhen and Lu Xinyan's side, if something happened to Lu Xinyan, she must be jointly and severally responsible!Therefore, she didn't dare to think about father being promoted and getting rich, and she wanted to find Mr. Ruyi. She made up her mind not to join forces with Wu Wan and others, and to do the reception work well this time is the most important thing. .
When Wen Ruxiang was looking for her, He Qingqing excused that she was unwell, and Wen Ruxiang smiled slightly, "Miss He, it's easy to get on the boat, but it's not so easy to get off the boat!"
He Qingqing was startled, "What does Miss Wen mean by that?"
"You took Ruomei's Buddhist beads, dragged Princess Chang'an this morning, and caused a fire in Yuexian Palace. If Princess Chang'an and others find out about this, what do you think will happen to you?"
"You... you threatened me?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Ms. He can decide how to choose."
After Wen Ruxiang finished speaking, she turned and left.
Shocked and frightened, He Qingqing was stunned for a few moments, and immediately followed Wen Ruxiang away.
Wu Wan said kindly: "Miss He, don't be too polite, just sit down and talk."
He Qingqing already knew that this kindness was all a fake, so how dare she sit down? "The body of a princess is a daughter of gold, and the little girl dare not face her face directly."
Wu Wan just said casually, how can a daughter of a fifth-rank doctor deserve to sit in front of her?She glanced at Zhang Ruomei, and Zhang Ruomei immediately said: "Miss He, the princess wants to know how the princess will arrange next?"
"Back to the princess, the princess has already said that she is responsible for it alone, so the little girl doesn't know." Although he had to come, He Qingqing has decided not to participate in their plot.
Wu Wan sneered, Zhang Ruomei's face sank, "Miss He, it's fine to tell others about it, how can you hide it from the princess?"
He Qingqing immediately knelt on the ground, "Princess forgive me, both Princess Chang'an and the princess have noticed that there is something wrong with the fire in Yuexian Palace, so they decided to act in secret for fear that someone would play tricks, so the little girl really doesn't know anything."
"So, they suspect you?" Wu Wan said quietly: "Do you know how I will deal with a useless chess piece?"
The undisguised murderous intent in that voice scared He Qingqing into a cold sweat, "They didn't suspect the little girl, they only said that everyone was suspicious."
"Since they didn't suspect you, why would they discuss it behind your back? Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you want to betray me?" Wu Wan slapped the armrest hard, "It's no good for anyone who betrays me. Come on! Someone, drag He Qingqing down, and beat him with fifty sticks on the pretext of colliding with the palace!"
Will she still be alive if the fifty boards go down?He Qingqing regretted that she was mistaken for being a thief because of her greed, but there is no medicine for regret in this world!Caught by the arms of the two maids, she cried bitterly, "Princess, spare me! The princess only said that he would find Mr. Li Yu and Li to guard the Yuehua Palace, and let Sister Song Zhao take care of the food. He really didn't say anything else!"
"Just say no obediently earlier?" Wu Wan waved her hand, and the two maids let go immediately. He Qingqing slid to the ground with a lot of snot and tears. , lest Lu Xinyan see the clues! No matter what you see or hear in the future, you must report to me in detail, you know? I will judge whether the information is useful or not!"
"Yes, princess." He Qingqing prostrated on the ground, lost in spirit.
After the maid took her down to wash and wash, Wen Ruxiang said: "Princess, it seems that Lu Xinyan really has a solution."
Wu Wan sneered, "So what? As long as she uses people in the palace, I will have a way to buy her off, so that she will fail!"
When He Qingqing was leaving the palace, he happened to meet Yan Qingruo, "Hey, sister He, didn't you leave the palace half an hour ago? Why did you just leave the palace now?"
He Qingqing forced a smile, "I feel bad when the Moon Fairy Palace is burned. I went around to look around for a few times, and accidentally forgot the time."
Yan Qingruo suddenly realized, "No wonder Sister He's eyes are a little red! Don't worry, Sister Zhuzhu is very capable. She said she can get it done, so don't worry!"
-
Lu Xinyan left the palace non-stop, went to the Suyifang to find Ye Shuang, and explained her intentions, "Aunt Ye, something happened to the Yuexian Palace in the palace that is in charge of receiving Princess Waci, and the decorations inside need to be rearranged. I need your help!"
Ye Shuang shuddered all over, "Say it!"
"Help me get [-] trustworthy embroiderers and [-] pieces of cloth..." Lu Xinyan took out a list.
Ye Shuang took it, "It will be done within half an hour!"
"I'm afraid I don't have time to go out of the palace these few days. If Aunt Ye has something to go to the palace to find Li Yu directly, he will notify me." Lu Xinyan said: "Please ask Aunt Ye to follow up on the costumes for the performance on 25 night."
After the task was assigned the day before yesterday, Lu Xinyan immediately drew twenty sets of clothes and sent someone to deliver them to Ye Shuang.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye will definitely hand over clothes that satisfy you."
"Thank you, Aunt Ye."
Before returning to the palace, Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to find Uncle Tian.
Uncle Tian has recuperated for nearly a month, and his body has recovered more than half, but the effort of decades is gone.
Lu Xinyan didn't want to trouble him at first, but now the matter is too urgent, so he had to ask him to do it himself.
After everything was arranged properly, Lu Xinyan brought twenty embroiderers and several carts of cloth into the palace.
The guards at the palace gate have already been ordered that as long as it is Lu Xinyan's things, they don't need to be inspected, nor can they be inspected, so they let them go immediately.
Outside Yuehua Palace, Li Yu was guarding there with several hundred imperial guards.
"Princess." He waved happily, smiling like a child, completely lacking the demeanor of General Zuo Lang of the Imperial Forest Army.
Those under him would complain in private at the beginning, but they gradually learned to ignore it.
"Li Yu!" It was the first time Lu Xinyan saw Li Yu wearing the Imperial Forest Army uniform, and looked him up curiously, "It's quite majestic."
Li Yu chuckled and scratched his head with his hands.
"Li Yu, wait for a while, I will take you to a place after I arrange the people."
After Lu Xinyan arranged the jobs for those embroiderers, she took Li Yu to Yuexian Palace.
The Yuexian Palace, which was originally bustling with excitement, was now completely scorched and desolately cold, except for a young eunuch who was guarding it.
"Li Yu, you've heard what happened in Yuexian Palace, right? I won't repeat it. There must be something wrong with this matter. Go in and smell it to see if you can find any new clues."
Li Yu went in without hesitation.
It came out after a while, holding a few slender, blackened things in his hand, "Princess, I found this inside."
"what is this?"
"fish bone."
fish bone?Lu Xinyan thought about it, "The cat will come in, does it have something to do with this fish bone?"
"It should be. I found the fish bones in the broken porcelain." Li Yu said: "I guess someone put the fish bones in those decorations and lured the cat here. The cat smelled fish and ate them again." If he didn't, he overturned the utensils that were displayed."
Lu Xinyan held the fishbone, her eyes became colder, "It seems that someone in Yuexian Palace has been bribed because I can put the fishbone in the display."
"I'll ask the Imperial Forest Army to investigate immediately!"
"I'm sorry, Li Yu!"
"No trouble, it's..." When the next word came out of my mouth, Li Yu abruptly took it back, and smiled, "You call Ajin Fourth Aunt, and if you help me, you are helping Ajin."
Lu Xinyan didn't notice his strangeness, "Thank you anyway."
Li Yu secretly said, "It's dangerous!"When he came here, Xiao Yichen specially confessed to him that no matter what request Lu Xinyan made, he would go all out to meet it, and he would do his best to solve it!Don't let him say that he is helping behind the scenes!Otherwise, I will settle the revenge with him for stealing his auspicious wedding day!
Li Yu boldly asked at that time, "If I don't agree, how will Xiao Shizi plan to settle it?"
Xiao Yichen glanced down at him lightly, "I heard that there is a medicine that can make people paralyzed for half a year."
Li Yu's three legs were trembling, "Xiao... Xiao Shizi, I... I'm just kidding, I will definitely do it! I will do whatever the princess says, and I will do it for her if I don't say anything!"
Xiao Yichen glanced at him, and walked away with his hands clasped behind his back.
Li Yu thought about it now, and felt that it was chilly down there.
The meals for everyone in Yuehua Palace were cooked under Song Zhao's personal supervision and then delivered. Just in case, before eating, Lu Xinyan asked Li Yu to smell them first, and only ate them if they didn't find anything unusual.
No one thought she was making a big fuss, after all, if something went wrong again this time, it would definitely kill her!
