It was late at night, and the palace was quiet, except for the occasional small voice.
Behind the deep curtain, there are two figures, one lying in front of him and the other standing beside him.
“The banquet for the day after tomorrow has been prepared, and I have ordered people to check it three times——”
Jinlan paused and suddenly remembered a most important thing: “It is reported that People said that before Zhou left the capital, he saw Ruizhu talking to the Puyang family in the palace. "
Liang Huan frowned: "Puyang family?"
Jinlan said: "The Queen Mother forgot that she is the biological mother of Zhou Taiwei's son."
Liang Han suddenly realized that yes, Danqing chose a child from the Zhou clan and adopted it into Zhou Yun's name.
The child’s biological mother is Puyang.
Jinlan said: "I have checked and found out that the Puyang family is a widow. After the Taiwei wife raised Zhou Xiaolang, the Puyang family has been with the Taiwei wife. That day, they entered the palace together, But at that time, the Queen Mother only summoned the Taiwei's wife, and Puyang waited alone. When Puyang entered the palace for the first time, she got lost for some reason and later said she met Ruizhu."
Liang Huan stared, a little surprised, Ruizhu was the person next to Lu Wanying...
Is it really a coincidence?
Jinlan looked at the silent person and said, "I have ordered someone to investigate the details of the Puyang family."
Liang Han stared at the document in his hand and nodded: "Okay."
Jinlan then continued: "While you were accompanying the Lord, Lord Chunyu came and asked your servant to bring you a message. After you left the palace, there were people watching you outside the Changguang Palace. I stared at it all day."
Liang Huan pursed her lips and hummed, without raising her eyelids: "Did you say anything about Prince Changguang?"
Jinlan shook her head: "I didn't -"
Suddenly, she frowned and said: "Although I didn't say King Changguang, I did say that in the afternoon, Princess Changguang left the mansion and went to Princess Yixing's mansion. Later, Yuzhang The princess also came, and about an hour later, they all said their goodbyes and left. "
Princess Yuzhang?
Liang Huan's eyes moved slightly. After Gao Qian killed Princess Yuzhang's consort on the Qianqiu Festival that year, she stopped interacting with Princess Lanling, King Guangping and others.
Later I heard that she was leading the practice in the mansion, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name all day long. However, this also kept her away from the center of the struggle for imperial power. Therefore, after Gao Yu's death, she was not implicated and saved her life. .
Liang Huan still remembers the Dragon Boat Festival that year. She followed Yu Wenjue to the Princess Yuzhang Mansion for the banquet.
It was at that banquet that she deliberately disturbed Feng Qingyue’s marriage...
Thinking about the past, Liang Hu silently sighed. When checking the old affairs of King Guangping, even she had to forget that there was another Princess Yuzhang in Daqi, Gao Shanrong.
She raised her eyelids: "Is Princess Yixing's hemoptysis better?"
Jin Lan lowered her head: "I don't know about this, I just know that Cai's consort often invites Sun Canjun to visit the government. It seems that the princess’s condition has improved, otherwise, how could Consort Cai have any fun?”
Liang Huan smiled: "That's right."
Jinlan said again: "I heard that Sun Liangping is proficient in pipa and good at shuò. Outsiders think it's Cai Hong who is hosting a banquet for fun, but in fact it's just for It’s for Princess Yixing to relieve her worries.”
Liang Han lowered his eyes, stopped talking, and concentrated on reading the memorial.
Jinlan looked at the pile of documents piled on the desk: "It's getting late, the Queen Mother should go to bed. There are a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."
Liang Huan sighed lowly, put down the ink pen in his hand, closed the document and put it aside, and then picked up another one.
"Although this memorial doesn't read much, it still needs to be approved."
Seeing this, Jinlan had no choice but to pick up the small pot and add some hot water to the cup.
Liang Huan couldn't read more than four or five lines before she felt her eyes were sore and uncomfortable. She had to close her eyes and pause for a while. While pressing the acupuncture points with her fingers to relieve the pain, she asked: "Did Hu Lu Qiguang say anything when he left? ?"
Hearing this, Jinlan quickly put down the purple clay pot and knelt down to admit her mistake: "I would like to ask the Queen Mother to punish you. Although this slave acted out of necessity, she did falsely convey the decree."
Liang. Huan put down the document, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said: "It's okay if outsiders don't know the inside story, but everyone on duty in the east hall of Taiji Hall and those serving closely in Hanguang Hall know it. If I don't punish you this time, I won't punish you next time. Not everyone can follow suit?”
Jinlan bowed respectfully, her forehead touching the ground: "Yes, I failed to do what the Queen Mother told me. It was my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment." Liang Huan opened his eyes and looked at the ground: "There must be punishment. , But there’s no rush.”
She changed the topic: “How did you know that Hu Lu Qiguang was coming?”
Jin Lan raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were filled with emotion. They met for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and bit his lip: "Yes... Ao Rubin told this slave."
Liang Huan pursed her lips and smiled, holding her head with one hand and looking at her with interest: " He is sincere to you.”
Jinlan was startled and quickly shook her head and explained: "Queen Mother, although my servant and he are from the same hometown, we have not had much friendship in the past, and we have never met in person. If the Queen Mother had not been assassinated on her way back from the winter hunt, you would have sent your servant to escort them." Rewards will be given to those who have meritorious service, but the slaves have not yet learned about him——"
Liang Huan waved her hand and interrupted her defense: "Jinlan, I am not doubting you."
Jin. Lan knew very well that when the Queen Mother said she was not suspicious, she really was not suspicious.
Otherwise, how could we keep her alive and continue to work as an errand?
Liang Huan sighed: "If you think he is not bad, I will issue a decree to marry you."
"Queen Mother——" Jinlan raised her head and widened her eyes, her face flushed, whether from embarrassment or anxiety.
Liang Huan just looked at her: "You just need to tell me what you really think."
Jinlan stared back at those calm black eyes, her heart like Fall into the whirlpool.
She opened her mouth, unable to guess the real intention of the person in front of her.
"Did the Queen Mother know that he was..."
Liang Huan met her gaze and smiled: "I don't care who he belongs to now, but as long as you are willing, I can make him only yours from now on."
She said, tilting her head again Looking at the multi-branched lamp in the corner, he said calmly: "This marriage can be said to be a reward for your hard work, or it can be said to be a punishment for falsely conveying your will."
Jinlan Ruoyou After realizing this, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then bowed to the ground again: "My slave, it's all up to the Queen Mother to make the decision."
Liang Huan stood up from the cushion and helped the person up: "No matter when, if you want Feel free to tell me if you regret it."
Jinlan pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes."
Liang Huan turned around and glanced at the documents on the desk, "That's all, that's it for today."
Jinlan lowered her head and said, "Yes."
With that, she was about to summon the palace outside. The servant is getting ready for bed.
Liang Huan waved his hand to stop him.
“There is no need to alarm so many people.”
After that, he walked around the golden pillar and went straight inside.
The gauze curtain was hung low, Liang Huan lifted the curtain and entered, but unexpectedly saw someone lying on the edge of the bed asleep.
Jinlan followed in and was shocked when she saw the scene in front of her. She took a few steps forward to wake him up by continuously filming and shaking.
"You are really a heartless person, don't you see, this is also a place where you can take a nap when you are sleepy?"
The man lying on the edge of the bed rubbed his eyes and stared in confusion, and suddenly he saw clearly in front of him The two people suddenly woke up and knelt down quickly: "You deserve to die, please forgive me the Queen Mother!"
Liang Huan frowned: "Are you the palace servant who has been waiting for me in the snow outside the cold palace?"
The palace servant broke out in a sweat: "It is the slave who was ordered by the Queen Mother to see off her son."
Liang Huan understood and took a look at the Yao plate on the bed. The Dahui were neatly stacked on it.
“Since we have delivered it, why don’t you leave?”
The palace man looked timidly at Jinlan and then at Liang Huan. (End of chapter)
