Qingyi lowered his head and smiled, took out the brocade handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, then quietly placed the square brocade handkerchief on the table.
He turned to look at Lan Lin and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it fun to go to the Hot Spring Villa? Why did you suddenly change your schedule and go back to the palace?"
Lan Lin's evil eyes looked directly at his beautiful and fragrant concubine, and said with a smile: "The hot spring villa is certainly fun, but Gu is thinking about the beauty from the country who is pursuing Lan Palace, so he returned to the palace early!"
Qingyi fluttered her sleeves and smiled, and the blue walking stick on her head swayed slightly. She looked at Lan Lin with moving eyes, and then said: "Who knows who your Majesty is thinking about in your heart? Don't take my concubine for granted. Use it as a shield. If the Queen gets caught, I can’t bear it!”
Lan Lin smiled crookedly, stretched out his hand to touch Qing Yi's fair and tender hand, and then said: "So my beloved concubine is a person who knows how to hide one's strength and bide one's time, but you have been ill for five years in the Palace of Dawn, so it's hard to hide one's strength and bide one's time." It’s too long!”
The couple looked at each other and smiled, seemingly joking, but in fact they were testing each other's truth.
Lan Lin was puzzled when Qingyi's temperament changed drastically after she recovered from her illness, and she suddenly became interested in him. He couldn't help but start to wonder whether the drugging had anything to do with her.
But if you think about it carefully, Qingyi has no heirs. What good will it do even if she poisons herself?
When he thought of the heir, Lan Lin couldn't help but think of the child who was aborted five years ago, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but look suspiciously at the beauty who smiled at him like a flower.
The two of them knew what happened five years ago. This matter may be a knot in their hearts. It cannot be ruled out that Qingyi already knows the truth and is now seeking revenge on himself for what happened back then.
Qingyi went to Yuqian Palace many times for excuses to visit Lan Lin, but in fact she wanted to meet Lin Xie, but she didn't know that her abnormal behavior became suspicious in Lan Lin's eyes.
So Lan Lin wanted to test whether she came to Yuqian Palace to approach him because she suddenly had a sudden desire to serve King Zhui Lan wholeheartedly, or if she had another purpose.
He couldn't help but hug Qingyi into his arms. Lan Lin's sudden move startled Qingyi. Even Lin Xie who was standing aside moved slightly and almost couldn't help but want to come up and separate the two of them.
But then I thought again, after all, the relationship between the two was husband and wife, and even such ambiguous intimacy was a normal thing, so they could only clench their fists and endure it.
Lan Lin didn't notice Lin Xie's expression behind him. Naturally, he didn't know what kind of jealousy he had. He was still teasing Qingyi in his arms. He deliberately raised the wine glass in his hand to drink Qingyi himself. Clothes and wine.
Qingyi, who was sitting in his arms, had already lost three souls and seven souls. She didn't expect that Lan Lin would suddenly become interested in her.
The reason why she dared to come here regardless of life and death these days was because she was sure that Lan Lin had always been uninterested in her. Unexpectedly, his temperament suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes seemed to eat her up.
Qingyi half pushed and drank a glass of wine. Lan Lin put the golden wine glass on the table, and then said to Lin Xie behind him: "Full of it——"
Lin Xi reluctantly stepped forward to pour him wine. While pouring the wine, she slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Qingyi in Lan Lin's arms.
Qingyi knew that Lin Xie must be jealous at this moment, but she still had to pretend to be full of joy for Lan Lin's favor, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I am a drunken concubine, and I am afraid that I will go crazy when I get drunk later!"
Lan Lin laughed, and the hand holding her slipped down dishonestly, and he put his arm around her slender waist. He looked at her with ambiguous eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? If you are alone, you will be drunk." It doesn't matter if you are drunk and crazy. Qingyi, why don't you sleep with me tonight?"
Lin Xie, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be startled when he finished saying the word "sleeping".
Lin Xie thought to himself, doesn't Lan Lin have little interest in women? Why are you suddenly interested in Qingyi? He was so anxious that he knocked over the poured wine.
The wine spilled on Lan Lin's robe. He frowned and looked at Lin Xie. Lin Xie hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it off and said, "My servant is so clumsy that I wet your Majesty's robe. Please calm down!"
Lan Lin's demonic eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Lin Xie who was fussing around, and said in a neutral tone: "Why did Eunuch Lin suddenly become so clumsy?"
Lan Lin didn't know that Lin Xie was jealous because of Qingyi, and thought he was unhappy because he wanted to favor Qingyi, so he didn't blame Lin Xie, but just turned to look at Qingyi.
Lin Xie also quietly hid the brocade handkerchief Qingyi had placed on the table while he was wiping the wine on the table with an excuse.
In fact, when Qingyi took out the square brocade handkerchief and deliberately wiped the corners of her mouth, the moment she raised her squinting eyes, he already knew what the other party was thinking. She wanted to give this square brocade handkerchief to him, so she quietly Hide the brocade handkerchief in your sleeve.
Qingyi gently wiped the wine on Lan Lin's dragon robe, and said softly: "Please punish me, Your Majesty. My concubine's illness has not been cured yet, so I'm afraid she can't sleep with her, so as not to ruin His Majesty's elegance! "
Lan Lin reached out and gently lifted Qingyi's smooth chin, and whispered in her ear: "To this day, I miss my beloved concubine's tenderness in bed. I also ask my beloved concubine to take good care of her body as soon as possible and be with her." Let Gu continue his dream! I hope I can conceive a dragon fetus for Gu as soon as possible!"
After Lan Lin finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently slid it towards Qingyi's belly. Qingyi frowned slightly, but there was still no hint of displeasure in his beautiful eyes. Instead, he blushed and said shyly: "Your Majesty - there are others. Here, how can you say such a thing?"
Lan Lin seemed to deliberately want to provoke Lin Xie, and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife. How ordinary is it to dote on your beloved concubine alone? Is there anything that cannot be said?"
At this moment, a guard came over: "See your Majesty!"
Lan Lin suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Qingyi aside, and whispered: "My beloved, please kneel down first! I still have something to do!"
Qingyi nodded, saluted Lan Lin, and then left with Hua Jue's support.
As she walked through the corridor, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Xie. There was a look of reluctance in that glance, and Lin Xie also looked at her from a distance and watched her go away.
Lin Xie heard Lan Lin on the side ask the guard: "How is the investigation going that I sent you to investigate?"
The guard said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty ordered his subordinates to find out who was spreading rumors in Zhuilan Palace that day. His subordinates have already found some clues."
"Oh? Tell me and listen."
The guard replied: "My subordinates found out that the maid who fell into the well and drowned was the maid who served Concubine Liu before."
"Concubine Liu?" Lan Lin frowned.
Lin Xie stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, do you suspect that the poisoning at Hot Spring Villa is related to the people spreading rumors in Zhuilan Palace?"
Lan Lin nodded, and then said: "Rumors suddenly spread in Zhuilan Palace before. I suspected that someone was tampering behind the scenes, so I ordered people to go and investigate. Unfortunately, the other party acted cleanly and neatly, leaving Gu without a clue. Then The person who spread the rumor was one of the people who spread the rumor, the other was a worker in the Craftsman Department, and the other was the palace maid of the Clothing Shop. One died from the cold, and the other died in the well. They both died quite appropriately. Gu Bu would investigate this matter. If they don't die, they will die if you investigate this matter alone. What do you think it is that someone has a guilty conscience?"
A trace of darkness flashed in Lin Xie's eyes, and then he said: "What your Majesty said is true, but now it is found that the dead palace maid is related to Concubine Liu. Is it possible that Concubine Liu is the mastermind behind this matter?"
Lan Lin sneered and said: "Someone is spreading suspicion. If it were Concubine Liu, she wouldn't be stupid enough to accompany the orphan to the hot spring villa."
Lin Xie nodded, and then said: "But going to the Hot Spring Villa is His Majesty's will. Concubine Liu can't shirk it if she goes to attend."
Lan Lin sneered and said: "If this matter really has something to do with her, why can't she shirk it? She could have twisted her foot like Qing Yi, or she could have taken medicine to advance the deadline, so naturally she wouldn't have to go to accompany the driver. "
Lin Xie nodded and said, "Your Majesty's analysis is correct, but who is behind it?"
Lan Lin looked at the Moon Gate that Qingyi passed by when he left, and asked Lin Xie: "What do you think of the lonely Queen Qingyi?"
Lin Xie was startled and couldn't figure out what Lan Lin meant, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you mean to doubt Empress Qingyi?"
Lan Lin sneered and sat back at the stone table, and then said: "I have to doubt it! She came all the way from the country five years ago to marry Zhui Lan. After that, she was ill for five years and stayed in Chenxi Palace. , ever since her illness suddenly improved, strange things have been happening in Gu's Zhuilan Palace, and Gu has to doubt her!"
Lin Xie suddenly felt bad. Qingyi's overly attentive visit made Lan Lin misunderstand that she had an agenda. Naturally, she couldn't just sit back and ignore it, lest Lan Lin point the finger at her and cause trouble for her.
Then he analyzed: "Your Majesty's analysis is not unreasonable, but then again, it is not good for Your Majesty. In the end, someone will benefit. Empress Qingyi has been ill for a long time and has not been favored by Your Majesty. She has no heirs so far, plus she She is also a native of Li. Even if His Majesty has a problem in the future, it will not be her turn to talk to Zhuilan Kingdom. I can’t figure it out. Logically speaking, Queen Qingyi really has no reason to deal with His Majesty!"
Lan Lin picked up the wine glass on the table, raised it and looked at the golden luster of the wine glass, and sneered: "She does! But her goal may not be the throne..."
Lin Xie was startled and wanted to hear Lan Lin continue talking about why Qingyi had the reason to do this, but Lan Lin stopped talking and just picked up the wine glass and drank the glass of wine.
Lin Xie didn't dare to ask, in case Lan Lin became suspicious.
Lan Lin turned to look at Lin Xie who was aside, and then said: "You should carefully watch Qingyi for Gu. Gu wants to see how sincere she is to Gu? Or is she harboring evil intentions?"
"Yes!" Lin Xie nodded, feeling worried.
At this moment, Lan Lin turned to look at the guard on the side and asked, "Did anything happen at Zhui Lan Palace while I was at the Hot Spring Villa?"
The guard stepped forward and replied: "In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, I ordered people to keep a close eye on each palace and courtyard. Except that Mrs. Warring States frequently came in and out of the palace when summoned by the Queen, no other abnormalities were found."
