Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was becoming increasingly tense, Fan Zi and Lian Renqing stepped forward to persuade each other.
Fan Zi said kind words to Song E: "Why are you so angry when you are away from home? There are so many people here. If you hit the snow branch, you will not only make others laugh. If the Prime Minister refuses to let you go, you will not be able to do it." Can’t eat and walk around?”
When Chen Zhong heard this, he just thought he was dumb. Afterwards, when everyone in the palace met, he said that I was a cunning woman who was a perfect match for Liu Huaian, a traitor.
Fan Shuyan's eyes were not on Chen Ling'er from beginning to end. He came to my side and said coldly: "I usually pretend not to see things, but this time you went too far."
After saying that, he left. Lian Renqing said something nice to me: "It's just a misunderstanding. As long as Madam is not frightened, can I arrange for you to sit down right now?"
I glanced at Song E and Fan Zi, thinking that if I didn't want to eat at this table, there was no point in staying any longer anyway, so I simply said goodbye to Lian Renqing: "I appreciate your brother-in-law's kindness. Let's save this meal for another day."
The coachman was still waiting outside the house, so I took Huaizhu and left without looking back.
On the way back home, Huaizhu hesitated for a long time, then summoned up the courage to ask me: "Miss, does she know who Chen Ling'er's crush is?"
I wasn't interested in the green tea thing, so I leaned on the carriage and replied, "I don't know, and I don't want to hear it."
"Oh." Huaizhu agreed, but after the carriage drove away for a few minutes, she still couldn't hold it in any longer, so she pulled me and said, "No, I must tell you, it's the eldest young master, and she did not hesitate to fall into the water in order to please the eldest lady. I will also put the blame on you."
After listening to this, I immediately became energetic and asked Huaizhu: "Chen Ling'er has taken a fancy to Fan Shuyan?"
"Yeah." Huaizhu nodded.
It was interesting. I subconsciously raised my palm and found that the other person's jade pendant was still in my hand.
So that’s why Chen Ling’er tried so hard to harm me because she wanted to curry favor with Fan Fengchu, and she also naively wanted to vent her bad temper.
Unexpectedly, the goddess had a dream, but King Xiang had no intention. Now there is a good show.
Huaizhu came over and said, "It seems that Chen Ling'er tried so hard to frame you, but he didn't get much benefit from the eldest lady."
I threw the jade pendant out of the window and replied in a nonchalant manner: "That's not true."
Before reaching the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Huai'an and Uncle Fu were waiting here all the way.
I wonder if Liu Huaian will wait here for a while, and if he finds out that I haven't come back yet, he will kill the Lian Mansion?
It turns out that I was right.
The carriage just stopped, and Uncle Fu's voice came from outside: "Madam is finally back. If it's half an hour later, the Prime Minister will go to the Lian Mansion to pick her up in person."
Huaizhu opened the curtain, I held up the hem of my skirt and bent down to get out of the carriage, looking at Liu Huaian with a smile on my face.
Are you afraid that if I go to have a meal, I won't know when I'll come back? Or are you afraid that I will hear some rumors that will affect his prestige in my mind?
In front of the servants, Liu Huai'an didn't know the same as me, and didn't send Uncle Fu away until he entered the mansion. It happened that I also had something to ask him, so I sent Huaizhu away, and the two of them walked side by side towards Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
It wasn't until there was no one around that Liu Huai'an spoke to me in a friendly manner: "Madam's face doesn't look good. Madam went to the Lian Mansion and didn't encounter anything, right?"
I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What are you referring to?"
Liu Huaian pretended to clear his throat and said seriously: "I know there have been some rumors in the court recently... I don't want you to go to the Lian Mansion because I don't want you to hear bad things."
"Now that you're back safely, I'm relieved. Why don't I wait for Madam to go back to the house to rest?"
The first half of his sentence seemed serious, but the second half was so unexpected and shocking?
I sneered and said, "It's better not to bother Mr. Xiang. I can just go back by myself."
Liu Huaian's expression froze and he stood in a dilemma.
As I walked, I said: "It's not impossible for me to tell you what happened in Lian Mansion today, but the premise is that you must tell me the truth."
Upon hearing this, Liu Huai'an quickly ran to me and blocked my way, and asked anxiously: "Did you really hear it?"
I nodded: "Quite a lot."
Liu Huai'an raised his hand seriously and pointed to his study: "Madam, please take a step here to speak."
Entering the study, a scent of books hit my face.
I'll brew two cups of the finest West Lake Longjing tea from Sophora japonica, and bring in some sweet-scented osmanthus cake and melon seeds.
After all, when I went to Lian's Mansion this time, I didn't get any food, but I came back very angry.
Now that I'm back, I can't find something to eat to fill my stomach.
After Huaizhu prepared her things, she honestly closed the door when she went out.
As a result, she bumped into Yurao as soon as she came out, and he couldn't help but rant in front of her, saying that the Prime Minister and the young lady had reconciled, and now the two of them were locked in the study and were idyllic.
Yurao was so angry that she ran back with red eyes and told Dai Shishi about it.
Dai Shishi, who was in the second trimester of pregnancy, thought that Liu Huai'an and I had rekindled our old relationship. She was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep. After a few days, she felt haggard, her energy was gone, and her whole body felt like frostbite. It looks like an eggplant, how can I not pull a few.
I sat in front of Liu Huai'an's desk with a good Longjing tea in my hand. I asked him with my eyes raised as if I was asking a question, "So, what Chang Zuo Lang said is correct?"
Liu Huai'an stood in front of the table with his hands lowered, accepting the lesson with an open mind: "It's true. It is said that once the emperor is once the minister, the emperor has become suspicious of me. Today's favor is also changing rapidly and is precarious."
I continued to ask him: "Who did Mr. Xiang allow to take advantage of this?"
Liu Huaian thought seriously for a while, and then sighed: "If I knew where the handle was, I wouldn't be so worried."
I drank green tea and fell into deep thought, and began to seriously consider whether I should find a way to meet Ling Fei and see if I could find out anything from his mouth.
As a result, Liu Huai'an saw my face and took the initiative to persuade me: "I heard that Madam has a close personal relationship with the Emperor. Why don't Madam go to find out what's going on on my husband's behalf?"
Now Liu Huaian and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, and we don't want to sit still and wait for death, let alone have the executioner's machete on our necks all the time.
So this time I chose to take the initiative and pierce the window paper myself to find out what twists and turns there were, so that I could plan my escape in advance.
Before dawn the next day, Huaizhu deliberately dressed me up like a young eunuch, and went to the palace in a carriage with Liu Huaian.
After entering the palace, I followed Liu Huai'an obediently. Seeing that he was about to go to the Jinluan Palace, I saw the time and ran towards the harem. Thinking about this, Ling Fei must be preparing to go to court in the morning. He couldn't see his people, so I had to Wait until he comes back next morning.
So you need to find out where his bedroom is first so you can sneak in and wait for someone.
Because of the disguise, the journey was smooth and smooth. Based on my intuition, I quickly found the Longquan Palace where Ling Hui lived, and happened to see Ling Hui going to court in the morning, dressed in court clothes and surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
I breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that the work was done. However, I heard a sharp and commanding voice in my ears: "You, the new guy, go and pour out this chamber pot."
