The next day, Lan Yin went to visit Cui Shanggong.
Cui Shanggong didn't embarrass her, nor did he talk to her much. He only encouraged her to do a good job and let her go about her official duties.
"I like Cui Shanggong very much. He is easier to get along with than most people in this palace." Lan Yin said with emotion.
"Ha." Ling'er followed and sneered, "Auntie is so simple. Cui Shanggong can be Shanggong, how can it be simple? She is just not like others, she knows your origin and purpose, so naturally Temptation, I just hope that you will finish your work soon and leave the palace soon, so as not to interfere with her business."
Lan Yin rolled her eyes speechlessly. What on earth did Cui Yuanzao do by putting such a girl next to her, to despise her on his behalf?
"Ling'er, I'm curious, how do you survive in the Daming Palace? Do I look too easy to bully?" Lan Yin said coldly.
Ling'er was not like this usually. She lived cautiously in the palace. It wasn't until she received a letter from Cui Langjun asking her to protect Yang Siji, who had just entered the palace, that she felt sour in her heart.
It was her father and brother who were convicted and imprisoned in Ye Ting. She thought she would be like this for the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, Cui Langjun overturned the case for her father and brother and restored peace to her family.
Although his father and brother were overturned, due to the remoteness of the place of exile, both father and brother died on the way, and Ling'er had no relatives anymore, so he voluntarily stayed in the palace, hoping to gain fame as a woman.
She knew that she had a delusion in her heart, that the husband beside the clouds had been hiding in her heart until he asked her to protect another woman.
"I love Mr. Cui, but I will never do it again." Ling'er suddenly lowered his head and bowed deeply to Lan Yin.
Lan Yin was shocked. She never expected that what she said just now actually aroused Ling'er's thoughts, and she showed her thoughts so frankly in front of the unmarried woman of her favorite person just to stop her thoughts. This little lady is so cruel to herself.
Lan Yin helped Ling'er up and stroked the back of her head tenderly. She didn't know how to comfort a young lady's hopeless crush, so she could only whisper: "We will all be good in the future."
Ling'er lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, she was already calm and calm, and said with a respectful attitude: "Is Yang Siji going to handle palace affairs?"
Lan Yin felt a little regretful. Ling'er's agility disappeared in front of her. Lan Yin began to blame herself. It was the first time she knew that power was compelling, and she had just used her meager power to reveal the inner thoughts of a girl and let her Bloody before his eyes.
Lan Yin was a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to apologize to Ling'er, so she could only say: "Go to Shang Gong Bureau."
Everyone in the Shanggong Bureau was performing their duties. When they saw Lan Yin approaching, they all stopped what they were doing and stood on both sides, waiting for Lan Yin to lecture.
Lan Yin firmly remembered the conversation she had just had with Ling'er. Every word and deed of a person in power could have a profound impact on others. She did not dare to give orders easily, so she just nodded and signaled everyone to do their own thing.
Lan Yin summoned Ling'er and asked her to find out the entry and exit records of the royal treasury in recent years.
Lan Yin thought about it. Taking advantage of this time to find out the case of the disappearance of Mei Zhu, and with the cooperation of all the palaces, she might as well investigate the concave and convex mirror as well. Start with the warehouse entry and exit records to see if there are any clues.
What Lan Yin didn't expect was that Ling'er pushed a cart of account books over. Lan Yin felt a headache. After asking Ling'er to look for records on the concave and convex mirrors, she took the lead and went to the Xianju Palace to interrogate the palace maid. .
————
However, before Lan Yin could reach the Xianju Palace, she was intercepted by Fengxian.
"Yang Siji, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Fengxian hid behind the flowers beside Taiye Pond and suddenly appeared, startling Lan Yin.
"Why is Aunt Fengxian here?"
Lan Yin looked around. There was no village in front of the place or any shops in the back. It was noon, and there was not a single pedestrian.
"I have been waiting here for Yang Siji for a while. There are some words I dare not let others hear."
Fengxian motioned Lan Yin to go towards her, bypassing the rockery. Fengxian looked left and right again and got into the rockery.
Lan Yin followed and walked in.
"Aunt Fengxian, can you speak now?"
"Concubine Guo Xian was here yesterday. I can't say much. She always protects Taotao. Obviously I was the one who followed her all the way from the Guo Mansion to the palace. I don't know what magic trick that Taotao used to charm Concubine Xian. She lives with her, but alienates the people who grew up with her."
Fengxian talked a lot, all of which were complaints and had no point. Lan Yin couldn't help but remind her: "Aunt Fengxian, what are you going to say?"
Fengxian seemed to suddenly wake up, and said apologetically: "Yang Siji Haihan, I really can't stand that little bitch Taotao, who just relies on her beauty to stay close to the saint. Who doesn't know what she is thinking!"
Lan Yin's eyelids twitched, "You mean, Taotao seduced the saint?"
Fengxian gritted his teeth and his face was distorted, "That day, the saint stayed at the Xianju Palace for the night, and Concubine Xian kicked me out, leaving only Taotao to serve me. The next day, there was obviously that smell in the room, you Do you know, Yang Siji?"
Lan Yin blushed and coughed awkwardly.
Fengxian didn't care whether Lan Yin was embarrassed or not, and continued, "But Concubine Guo Xian came to Guishui in those days, and Taotao wanted to hide Concubine Xian's clothes, but I still found out, huh, little bitch People still want to imitate that common man Zheng, thinking that a sparrow will turn into a phoenix."
Fengxian was so talkative that Lan Yin felt a swarm of flies swarming around her ears. While Fengxian was taking a breather, Lan Yin quickly intervened.
"Who is this commoner Zheng? How did she turn into a phoenix?"
Fengxian was finally brought back to her senses and explained: "Zheng Shuren was once Li Qi's concubine. Later, Li Qi rebelled and was exiled from the palace. She became the maid-in-waiting of Empress Dowager Guo, who was also the maid-in-waiting of Concubine Guo at that time. Later, with her good looks, she climbed into Emperor Xianzong's bed and gave birth to King Guang. Unfortunately, King Guang was born stupid and was ultimately incapable of success, and Zheng Shuren's efforts were all in vain."
Lan Yin saw Fengxian gloating about her misfortune, as if Taotao had become a commoner Zheng, and all her scheming had been wasted.
"Aunt Fengxian, these are all your guesses, right?" Lan Yin said.
"Of course not. Don't Yang Siji think that Taotao had the motive of guarding and stealing? The Queen Mother Guo gave the Bead to Concubine Guo Xian, but I have heard people say that the Bead originally belonged to the common people Zheng. Why did the common people Zheng It was because of Mei Zhu that she was able to win the favor of Emperor Xianzong. Now Taotao wants to charm the current saint, and Mei Zhu is by her side, can she resist this temptation? "
Lan Yin looked at the red-faced Fengxian and said helplessly: "This is still your guess, Aunt Fengxian!"
Fengxian glanced at Lan Yin dissatisfied, "It's definitely not my guess. Don't Yang Siji think that the person who can get the two keys best is Taotao? It's easy for her to guard and steal."
Lan Yin had indeed thought this way, but why was Concubine Guo Xian so sure that it was not Taotao's fault?
And although Fengxian was in a strong mood, her story about Taotao climbing onto the dragon bed was still quite credible.
So is this the tacit approval of Concubine Guo Xian? Otherwise, how to explain her trust in Taotao so much?
