"Liang Ji? Didn't he enter the palace? How can he enter the palace now?" Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan. He had asked Xu Lan to inquire about some information before, and he was afraid that Liang Ji would also follow him into the hunting ground.

If this was the case, they had to find a way to divert Liang Ji away. Who knew that Liang Ji didn't come at all, but was replaced by the young general Wei Shen. Now Lu Huiling felt relieved.

I heard long ago that the Imperial Guards had sealed off the entire imperial city just to find out the so-called assassin. How could Liang Ji still come to the palace now?

Xu Lan looked panicked and shook her head: "I did see General Wei Shen enter the palace at that time. I heard that General Liang Ji went to the state capital for inspection. I don't know why...how did he come to the palace now?

Wen Sheng, you must have seen it wrong, right?"

Wen Sheng raised his head and looked at Xu Lan, then turned to Concubine Ming, and said hurriedly: "Empress, I don't dare. I have a good memory since I was a child. I can't forget someone I met once even if I want to. Liang

I have seen General Ji three times and I will never make a mistake."

Lu Huiling frowned. She didn't believe that Wen Sheng had seen it wrong: "Then do you know why Liang Ji entered the palace?"

Wen Sheng shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that General Liang Ji is followed by a person who looks like an adjutant. He is rushing towards Yichun Palace. He is still wearing armor and a cloak, as if he is on some mission."

After saying that, Wen Sheng lowered his head and thought for a while: "Ah! Madam, when I came back, I saw some soldiers who were dressed differently from the imperial guards. They seemed to have just been transferred from the military camp."

After hearing this, Lu Huiling thought about it carefully. Perhaps the emperor felt that this matter was important and there were many designers, so he asked the troops stationed in the city to enter the palace to support it.

Thinking of this, Lu Huiling nodded and said clearly: "Since that's the case, then don't worry about it. You don't have to go out to find out the news all the time, lest some people see it and think that I am going to do something.

What?"

The best way now is to ignore everything and completely stay out of it. If you go to inquire more, you will leave some traces. If you want to pour dirty water on Concubine Mei, you still can't expose yourself too much.

That's to prevent Concubine Mei from biting someone in a hurry and dragging her into the water.

Wen Sheng nodded: "Yes, that servant resigned."

"Go down." Lu Huiling waved her hand, then held her head and said to Xu Lan behind her: "I got up early today and am tired now. I don't know when Xia Rongxin will wake up, but it doesn't matter.

Help me to rest."

Lu Huiling got up early in the morning to dress up just to watch today's show. She thought she would be interrogated immediately. Who knew Xia Rongxin would faint?

It took a long time to wear the luxurious headdress.

Xu Lan nodded, responded, and then helped Lu Huiling get up and walk to Nuange.

On the way, Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan's downcast expression and knew that she had sympathy for Mr. Zhi and the others, so he accidentally said: "I don't want to force Mr. Zhe to die. Whether she dies or not, she

The fate of the whole family is now in the hands of Concubine Mei. As long as Concubine Mei does not reveal that she is Concubine Zhe, and selflessly takes the whole matter on herself, Concubine Zhe will be relieved, and I will be satisfied."

Xu Lan listened dully, not daring to raise his head and speak.

Lu Huiling stopped, looked at Xu Lan, and said slowly: "You can't bear to hurt others, so why do I want Mr. Zhi to die? It's just that Xia Rongxin can't take dirty water from her. In fact, as long as she arrives

Finally, if Mr. Zhi is willing to put more responsibility on Xia Rongxin so that the emperor can take back Xia Rongxin's silver seal, I will still promise her to protect her family. Do you understand?"

Xu Lan raised her head and glanced at Concubine Ming hurriedly, then quickly lowered her head: "Yes, I understand."

"Go and do it when you understand. Remember to change your clothes. There are many patrolling guards in the palace, so don't let others see it." Lu Huiling smiled with satisfaction and said calmly.

"Yes." Xu Lan felt blessed, bowed to Concubine Ming, and then hurried down to change clothes.

Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan's retreating back and sighed secretly in her heart. Sure enough, she was not the person she grew up with. After all, she couldn't care about her own thoughts. Xu Lan would ruin her business one day, so she had to find an opportunity.

The best thing to do is get rid of Xu Lan.

Xu Lan had no idea that Concubine Ming had such thoughts, so she hurriedly changed into an ordinary palace maid's outfit and rushed to Lanyuan Pavilion.

For some reason, Xu Lan was always very worried about Guiren Zhe. She didn't know whether it was because she was worried that she would betray Concubine Ming, or because she felt sorry that she would lose her life for this matter.

In Lanyuan Pavilion, Concubine Zhi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. She always felt that in the next second, the Imperial Guards were going to break into her Lanyuan Pavilion, which was usually unattended, and bring her to the emperor. Concubine Mei cried and confronted her, questioning her.

What is her intention?

Zhi Guiren has thought about this scenario countless times and rehearsed it in his mind countless times.

She thought that Concubine Mei would definitely reveal that she had interfered with the New Year's Eve feast and lead Concubine Mei to change the system of the game she was involved in. The emperor would definitely call her in front of the royal chariot and interrogate her in front of the three thousand people in the harem and all the civil and military officials.

Why did she do this.

Guiren Zhi promised Concubine Ming that she would try her best to make Concubine Mei lose the silver seal of power in the harem. All she had to do was show her innocence and make everyone think that Concubine Mei had meant all this and that she was just acting out.

Just an idea.

Even so, Mr. Zhi still could not escape death, but at least he saved the lives of his family.

In the splendid and solemn Qinzheng Palace there, there must be a pair of eyes beside the emperor staring at her closely. Under those eyes, there would be a mouth that looked very similar to hers, telling her to be careful in her words and deeds. Otherwise,

The lives of family members are at risk.

Zhi Guiren was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, waiting for death and judgment. This was too uncomfortable. At this time, she heard the sound of footsteps, and she felt that the Imperial Guards were coming soon, and she was only in her twenties, and she was still alive.

I have never seen mountains, rivers, and rivers, so I spent most of my life in this deserted palace and back garden.

Thinking this way, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of my eyes.

Ah Xun looked at Zhi Guiren frowning and weeping. She couldn't help crying, and the tears fell down. But she bit her lip tightly, wanting her master to rest a little longer.

After Xu Lan arrived at Lanyuan Pavilion, she looked around and found that no one had noticed her, so she turned sideways and entered the inner courtyard of Lanyuan Pavilion.

A large number of people from the Royal Forest Army gathered in the middle palace to protect the emperor and the concubines. Lanyuan Pavilion was far away from the middle palace. Naturally, they only sent troops to patrol and there was no one to keep watch. Xu Lan was able to slip in easily.

There was no one in the courtyard, so Xu Lan went directly to the palace and knocked on the door.

As soon as Xu Lan knocked on the door, Zhi Guiren sat up suddenly while lying on the bed. He opened his eyes and looked at the door with a look of astonishment on his face. Ah Xun also quickly stood up and listened to the knocking on the door one after another. She replied

He turned his head and looked at Mr. Zhi, then looked at the door, wondering whether he should go there.

Zhi Guiren's palms began to sweat. She clutched the quilt tightly and looked at the door in shock. She was afraid that that was the person who was going to take her away. When people were about to die, they became greedy for life. She regretted doing something like this.

These things happened, but her parents and brothers were still the bond she couldn't let go of.

"Noble..." The knock on the door kept ringing. Ah Xun turned around and looked at Noble Zhi, not knowing what to do.

Zhi Guiren gritted his teeth and said to Ah Xun, "Go and open the door."

With that said, Mr. Zhi sat up, put on his shoes, and straightened his hair in front of the mirror. Even if he was going to die, he would die with dignity and not lose the grace of a scholar.

Ah Xun walked over slowly and opened the door slowly. She thought she would see a group of solemn imperial guards, but unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, Aunt Xu Lan was standing at the door.

Ah Xun suddenly felt weak and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lan looked at Ah Xun and complained: "What's going on? Why did it take so long to open the door?"

If we stay longer, I am afraid that the patrolling Imperial Guards will come over. Even though Xu Lan looks like an ordinary palace maid from a distance, up close you can still recognize that she is Xu Lan, the eldest palace maid of Minghua Hall.

.

Ah Xun said nothing and turned sideways to let Xu Lan walk in.

When Zhi Guiren saw that the visitor was Xu Lan, her nervous heart felt relieved for a moment, and she was about to shed tears again. She had lived an upright life and had never done any bad things, but she never thought that such a day would come to her.

Xu Lan couldn't bear it when she saw Zhi Guiren's appearance, and didn't know what to say.

After Zhi Guiren calmed down, he looked at Xu Lan and asked feebly: "Does Concubine Ming have any other instructions? Shouldn't we be more careful at this time to avoid suspicion? How come it's only been less than an hour?

, so I came again."

Xu Lan took a step forward and said to Mr. Zhe: "The empress said that you should put all the blame on Concubine Mei. In this way, you and your family will have more hope of survival."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhi was very dissatisfied. Now Lu Huiling has gone too far, threatening her with her family several times.

"Okay, I know all this better than you, and I also ask you to go back and tell Concubine Ming that I, Yin Zhuo, will do what I promised, and I hope that the same will happen to you." Guiren Zhe raised his head and looked at Xu.

Lan, her eyes were full of indifference.

Zhi Guiren is now indifferent to her own life, but she still hopes that Lu Huiling can save the lives of her family, so that her hard work will not be in vain.

Seeing Mr. Zhe's answer, Xu Lan forgot the significance of her trip and stood speechless, unable to speak.
