The assassination was too big, and the emperor would not let Chu Liuchen intervene.

Even though Chu Liuchen had no suspicion, he would not ask him to inquire, but the matter on the table screen was different. It was obviously framed, and it happened before he was stabbed.

Wei Dahai is not simple, Shao Wanru has a premonition that such a small person who doesn't look very obvious looks inconspicuous, but in fact many incidents locked him up.

If Chu Liuchen investigates such a person, it would seem too careless and make people feel that something is different, but if there is a reason for it, it would be a different matter...

On the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, the Cining Palace was filled with joy early in the morning.

The banquet was held in the main hall. It was still early and no one came over. The palace people were busy and went to the palace to get some things from time to time. Madam Wei was in charge of everything, so busy that she couldn't get along.

When the women came here later, they went to the Huatai first and only came to the main hall when the banquet was held.

The palace gate opened early, and carriages stopped everywhere. The palace sedan chair was about to be at the inner palace gate. The wife of the fourth rank and above took the lady from the mansion to come up from the carriage and walked through the long aisle of the palace gate. The older ones got on the palace sedan chair, while the others walked to the Empress Dowager Cining Palace, chatting while walking.

When we met Sanwu and Wu, we were in good relationships, and we were talking together.

In previous years, this time was also the most relaxing time in the palace. It can be said that today was the most relaxing day in the entire palace.

But today is different. The dull atmosphere in the palace seems to have faded a lot, but in fact it is not. Although the Empress was released and accompanied the Empress Dowager, anyone could see that the matter was not finished.

In previous years, King Zhou and His Highness Yue came to the palace early to accompany the Empress Dowager. At this time this year, several princes were still outside and were detained by the emperor. Later, the emperor brought the ministers and several princes in to pay homage to the Empress Dowager. This is the final time for the banquet.

In a garden outside Cining Palace, there is a tall flower terrace.

The high platform surrounded by many rare flowers is rich in colors, and even the air has a faint fragrance of flowers, which is extremely pleasant.

The weather is very good. When it is lukewarm and hot, the ladies dress up very brightly. If they failed in the draft before or did not run for the election, they are now the opportunity.

The princes chose the official concubine at that time, and only the concubines were chosen. Besides, there was His Highness Xin, so even the official concubine was not selected. Today, the Queen Ming was here, so it was probably an opportunity.

There was something wrong with King Yue and King Zhou. Many people set their minds on King Xin, who had never noticed, at least King Xin is also the emperor's son.

The position of the prince is the most difficult thing to explain. No one can tell when the truth is revealed. Who can say that King Xin will definitely not have a chance?

If something happens to King Yue and King Zhou, can the throne be passed to King Chen if it is not passed to King Xin?

Many people think so in their hearts. When the ladies received the instructions from their parents in their homes, they all waited happily. If they were to let Concubine Ming or King Xin take a fancy to him, the future Concubine Xin might be themselves!

Of course, there are also people who have always been optimistic about one of King Yue and King Zhou, who are interested in the concubines in their mansion and the position of concubines.

There are also some people who are not very interested in trying to please the Empress Dowager. No matter which one is the case, the ladies sitting in front of the flower table are all dressed very well.

There are several rows of tables in two rows of flower tables, fruits and melons

The snacks were placed on the table, with chairs beside the table for the ladies and ladies to rest and sit down.

Facing the flower table, there were several gauze tents. The largest of them was naturally the place where the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and several noble concubines were.

On the right, a much smaller one is the place where other rank concubines in the palace rest.

A tent on the left is reserved for the royal married princesses, their wives and granddaughters.

Some people were sharp-eyed and discovered that there was a particularly small tent on the side of the Queen Mother's big tent, and there were also people in the small tent, and some people recognized it as the person next to Princess Ruian.

I don’t know who came from the news, but it was said that the injured Princess Chen also came and rested at that tent, saying that this was the first time that Princess Chen celebrated the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and came here with the wounded. He waited for a while to present the gift before going back to rest, and he would not attend the banquet.

Everyone knows that Princess Chen was injured. I heard that something big happened almost, but I didn’t expect Princess Chen would come over again.

This matter has not been settled yet. The emperor's attitude is unknown. The empress and the three princes suffered a crime together. It is all because of the Princess Chen. If something happens to him, he may have to blame others again.

Everything said.

Zhang Qilan followed Mrs. Zhang Xiang and couldn't sit still, so she put her head in the ear of Luo Xiaowan who was sitting over, "Let's go and see if Princess Chen is okay?"

Luo Xiaowan had wanted to go there for a long time, but the mansion refused to allow him, saying that no one was allowed to visit him at the moment. Princess Ruian was guarding the mansion of Prince Chen and wanted Princess Chen to rest well.

He nodded after hearing Zhang Qilan's words.

The two of them went to the most inconspicuous tent together, and only then they arrived at the entrance of the tent, but saw Madam Gao beside Princess Ruian guarding her and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Madam Gao also politely returned the gift.

"Madam Gao, can Princess Chen be inside?" Zhang Qilan pointed inside and asked in a low voice.

"Princess Chen is in poor health, so she can only force herself to come over now. Princess Ruian asked her to rest for a while. She would close her eyes and rest. When the Empress Dowager came over, she would go back after giving the gift." Madam Gao said.

"There is still a bed here?" Zhang Qilan asked in surprise.

"Grateful to the Queen Mother, I have prepared a bed for us Princess Chen, otherwise Princess Chen would not be able to hold on. Princess Chen is a filial person. Originally, the Queen Mother asked her not to come, but she refused to listen. She would definitely watch someone present a gift to the Queen Mother." Madam Gao sighed and said helplessly.

"Is Princess Chen seriously injured?" Luo Xiaowan asked anxiously.

"I was seriously injured, and something almost happened. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed me." Madam Gao clasped her hands together and bowed to the air, with a look of gratitude.

Zhang Qilan looked at Madam Gao deeply. Seeing her excited face, she was scared. It seemed that the injury was real. She frowned, "Madam Gao, can we go in and see Princess Chen?"

Madam Gao looked embarrassed on her face, and she looked at Zhang Qilan and Luo Xiaowan, looking like she couldn't answer.

Luo Xiaowan didn't want Madam Gao to make things difficult for her, so she pulled Zhang Qilan's hand and said, "Madam Gao, then we will come to see Princess Chen next time. You can ask her to raise her well and don't suffer any bad sequelae."

"I know, I know, thank you Miss Zhang, thank you Miss Luo!" Madam Gao nodded repeatedly and put down her closed hands.

Luo Xiaowan

He pulled Zhang Qilan's hand and signaled her to leave, but Zhang Qilan was unwilling to leave, so he turned his head to see the tent that he picked.

Seeing that Madam Gao's face showed some displeasure, Luo Xiaowan hurriedly pulled Zhang Qilan away with force. Their behavior just now became a little too rude.

After walking to the place far away from the tent, Zhang Qilan shook Luo Xiaowan's hand unhappily: "Xiaowan, I just want to see if Princess Chen is fine. I just look at it from a distance and will not disturb Princess Chen. Princess Rui'an won't let me see it anyway."

"Qi Lan, Princess Chen is injured now, and she is also forcing her to give gifts to the Empress Dowager. If there is no gift-giving process, Princess Chen may not even use it here."

Luo Xiaowan advised.

"So what? Since Princess Chen is here, it is rare for us to have such an opportunity to see her. We should go and see her. We may say that she just needs our help!" Zhang Qilan said unhappy.

"But Princess Ruian doesn't let us go..." Luo Xiaowan said arrogantly. Madam Gao was guarding the door, which explained everything. "Princess Chen is so seriously injured and has no strength to talk to us at this time. We both can't help, but she is still trying to make energy."

"But I'm not relieved if I can't see Princess Chen!" Zhang Qilan said.

"Then...what should I do?" Luo Xiaowan looked around and said helplessly.

"How about we go and see her secretly?" Zhang Qilan turned her eyes and laughed. She reached out to point behind the tent, and we passed by there.

"There is no one behind." Luo Xiaowan looked at the position and said helplessly.

"We just asked a few words from Princess Chen through the tent, and asked her how she was doing, and she was okay. She didn't really want to do anything. If you ask clearly, you can feel at ease." Zhang Qilan said.

What this said makes sense. Although Luo Xiaowan is timid, she thought it would be no big deal to just say a few words across the tent, so she nodded, but Suji shook her head again, "No, Princess Ruian is there, it's useless for us to go there, and we will be discovered."

"What are you worried about? Princess Ruian will definitely go to meet with other princesses in a while. Princess Chen is not in good health. She can't wait forever, and she doesn't want to disturb Princess Chen's rest!" Zhang Qilan stretched out her finger and pointed to the tent prepared for the princesses and said proudly.

"Then... OK!" Luo Xiaowan agreed helplessly.

The two of them didn't return to the seat, but just waited there. After waiting for a while, when they saw Princess Ruian coming out, Madam Gao was still guarding the door, obviously because she was afraid that someone would disturb Shao Wanru's rest.

After Princess Ruian left, the two of them looked at each other before turning back to the tent. There was indeed no one in the backlight, but it was a quiet and uninhabited place.

The two of them didn't bring their maids, and walked behind the tent with their hands. When they arrived at the small tent, the two of them started to get more and more gentle.

It was not winter, and the tent was not tightly tied. There was a sound of speaking from inside, for fear that the others inside would find it. The two of them were very careful.

Suddenly, Zhang Qilan stopped and pulled Luo Xiaowan hard. Luo Xiaowan was pulled hard to the right. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have almost fallen.
