The emperor asked dozens of questions like this, until Lan Xiaolou felt that his knees were hurting and he couldn't hold it any longer. The emperor's eyes flashed: "How do you and the queen know each other?" ?”
Kunning Palace——
Jiangchuan and Xiao Xiangzi stretched their heads and looked out. The magpie stepped forward and patted Xiao Xiangzi on the shoulder: "What are you two doing here? Your necks are almost stretched out! Are you planning to turn into a husband stone here?" "
"Tsk!"
Jiang Chuan glared at her: "What are you talking about? Let's check here to see if anyone from the emperor's palace is walking around here. Maybe we can see Eunuch Tang sending people out."
Xiao Xiangzi also said: "Yes! What kind of regulations does the empress have? Do you really don't need our people to inquire about it?"
"well……"
Magpie sat down on the railing of the corridor and said with a sad face: "I also want to ask, but the empress said that at this time, it is even more difficult to act rashly."
She looked around and complained in a low voice: "The emperor is a petty person. If he knows that our empress is secretly spying on Lan Xiaolou, he might conclude that the empress and him are having an affair."
Magpie has been in the Jiang Mansion since she was a child and has always been Jiang Xinyue's personal maid. It would be a lie to say that she knows nothing.
But if you want to say that she knows everything, that's not right. She really doesn't know what's going on between her mother-in-law and Lan Xiaolou.
Because every time the empress goes out disguised as a man, she stays in the mansion and pretends to be the empress to fool the servants in the mansion.
The chirping of cicadas was particularly abrupt in the silence. The palace shrouded in darkness seemed like a huge beast opening its bloody mouth, capable of swallowing up all the moonlight that was tilted towards it.
The firelight danced in the main hall of Kunning Palace. Jiang Xinyue burned the letter she had just received, and a meaningful smile appeared on her worried face just now.
Shuangshang closed the window: "Mother, why do you..."
"Why did you hide it from your mother, hide it from the magpie, hide it from my father, hide it from everyone, and let Concubine Tong bring the Rong Sheng troupe into the palace on purpose?"
Shuangjiang nodded. Her intelligence was no longer enough in front of the Queen.
Hiding the truth from the magpie and the others, Shuangjiang is understandable, because the magpie can't hide things, and his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all expressed on his face.
What she couldn't understand was why the Queen would give her handle to Concubine Tong.
"I am risking my life to survive."
Just half a month ago, some strange memories kept coming to her mind intermittently.
She knew that it was the original memory.
Jiang Xinyue met Lan Xiaolou at a family banquet of the Jiang family. At that time, he was not the famous Cui Yulou who was famous in the capital, but just an unknown understudy for a leading role in Cuiliyuan.
He studied opera in a poor way, and he had such a background, but he also had a good appearance. God rewarded him with a good voice, so it was normal for him to be jealous.
"Kill this little bastard for daring to steal my limelight. I am Master Mei's great apprentice. Do you understand that you can only succeed if I fail?"
"Master Mei lost his voice. Logically speaking, it's the senior brother. Even if the senior brother is injured in the foot, there are still second and third senior brothers. When will it be your turn, a newbie, to ask for rewards in front of the nobles?"
"Scratch his face, and once he's disfigured, he won't be able to go on stage. How can he still be so majestic?"
"stop!"
It was Jiang Xinyue who came out of the darkness and stopped those who were holding knives and were about to slash Lan Xiaolou's face: "If you dare to hurt anyone in my house, I think you are desperate for your life. Come on, take it down for me." !”
At that time, Jiang Xinyue was still an unloved concubine. There were no servants around her to obey orders, only a silly magpie.
But those people didn't know that, just seeing Jiang Xinyue's exquisite and noble face, they already acquiesced in her noble status, and they ran away in a hurry.
Since then, Jiang Xinyue and Lan Xiaolou have become friends.
She was bullied by her aunt and sister, and when her father ignored her, she would often sneak out of the house and go to the Liyuan to chat with Lan Xiaolou and complain.
Several years passed, and as Lan Xiaolou became more and more famous, the friendship between the two became deeper and deeper.
But Jiang Xinyue knew that once this relationship was exposed to the sun, both she and Lan Xiaolou would be badly hurt.
So we can only meet quietly in private, not daring to let anyone know.
But after all, paper can't cover up the fire, and the matter was discovered by the elder brother who bullied Lan Xiaolou when he was a child.
The senior brother forced Lan Xiaolou to trick Jiang Xinyue out and drug her, hoping to insult Jiang Xinyue and take the opportunity to become the Jiang family's son-in-law.
When Lou Xiaolan refused, he was drugged by his senior brother and thrown into an underground gambling house. When he woke up, he already owed a huge gambling debt that he could not afford to pay back in three lifetimes.
After Jiang Xinyue found out, she sold all her gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins to help him pay off his gambling debts, and also sent the injured Lan Xiaolou back to Cangxian County.
They worshiped Heaven and Earth in Cang County, but they did not respect their parents, and Lan Xiaolou did not touch her body.
He always felt ashamed in front of her.
Being as delicate and beautiful as her is not worthy of a weakling like him.
So he gave up on himself, ran back to the capital, and entered the casino again.
He wants to win back all her money...
After all, it's his whims and the casino where gangsters prey on gangsters, how can there be any humanity?
Later, it was Jiang Xinyue's despair and his regret...
In the end, the two were separated by a palace wall and never saw each other again.
And Jiang Xinyue, who remembered her original memory, knew that such a big matter would come to light sooner or later. As long as someone was willing to investigate, there would be no way to hide it.
So as early as half a month ago, Jiang Xinyue had asked someone to find the renamed Lan Xiaolou, and told him that if anyone was looking for him in the near future, or looking for someone who was in the opera house before, it would be to harm them both.
They must join forces to completely eliminate this hidden danger that threatens their lives.
Lan Xiaolou is no longer the powerless Cuiyulou who can only be bullied by others.
He is a treasure in the opera world, and many dignitaries are his contacts. The news that the Tong family is looking for someone from Cuiliyuan spread to his ears... From that moment on, Concubine Tong fell into the trap of Jiang Xinyue and Lan Xiaolou In a jointly designed trap.
There was already a faint white light outside the house, and the emperor rubbed his brows: "Wang Dequan, what time is it?"
"It's already time to return to the emperor."
Yin Shi?
It's almost dawn.
The emperor raised his head in surprise: "No one is coming to the Queen's Palace?"
When he took Lan Xiaolou away, he deliberately let Yue'er see it. If she still had this person in her heart, how could she not care about his life or death at all?
"Are you serious that you don't have any evil intentions towards my Yue'er?"
After chatting all night, he finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.
