Leaning on the pillow, the Empress Dowager pressed her eyebrows.

She has her considerations.

These secret arrangements generally follow the same path.

At first, they were all hammers here and there. Even if others saw them, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure them out and couldn't think of a place to go.

When the foundations are laid, the dots are connected into lines, and the lines are formed into surfaces, and suddenly it becomes a big net, covering the head and face.

People on the Internet realized it later, but it was too late.

Right now, it should still be time to swing the hammer.

Thanks to Yun Yan's careful mind and knowing some details that others may not fully understand, such as the fact that the Xia family girls don't play with incense now, she was able to take advantage of others.

Otherwise, the big net will be closed, and both she and the Holy Spirit will be disappointed.

This is also the reason why the Queen Mother does not want to summon Mrs. Enrongbo.

She didn't want to alert the enemy.

If the opponent discovers that the layout has been noticed and changes their tactics, the advantage they have here may be lost.

Opportunities must be grasped in one's own hands.

They have to move first to kill the signs.

"Yun Yan," the Empress Dowager warned, "tell them on behalf of the Ai family that the whole story must be clarified.

If it was false, the Ai family would definitely not let someone with scheming intentions pour dirty water on the Enrong residence and the late empress.

If it is true, after all, it has been so many years, and the Ai family will still protect Ichigo with due respect.

They should think about it for themselves. If they try to trick the Ai family, they will lose all face when they are caught with evidence and exposed by outsiders with all their teeth and claws.

At that time, don't blame the Ai family for not helping.

By the way, everyone who is known to be related to this matter should also be investigated. It would be best if you can find out according to the picture."

Lin Yunyan responded and came down.

It was almost lunch time, so she stayed to eat with the Queen Mother.

The empress's appetite was obviously affected by the incident involving the first empress, and she was persuaded by Lin Yunyan and Grandma Wang to use a few more chopsticks.

After the Queen Mother took her lunch break, Lin Yunyan got up and left the palace.

First, she went back to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion and closed her eyes to recuperate for a while. When it was time to visit her neighbors without being out of place, she went to Uncle Enrong's Mansion.

In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Enrongbo heard that the princess was here again, and looked at Aunt Yu in confusion.

"You didn't convince me yesterday. Are you going to do it again today?" The old lady was extremely surprised. "The princess has always been polite, how could she be so unforgiving this time?"

Aunt Yu shook her head: "To tell you the truth, I'm in a state of confusion. I always feel that things are not that simple."

"How complicated can it be?" The old lady muttered, "Please ask her to come in, and I will listen to what she says."

Aunt Yu agreed.

When Lin Yunyan entered, the old lady had a smile on her face, but she didn't show any emotion.

Lin Yunyan sat down and got straight to the point: "I got some news from the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace at noon, which is very detrimental to the Enrong Mansion, the late Empress and His Highness."

The old lady's face darkened.

It is not surprising that it is unfavorable to Enrong Bo Mansion and His Highness.

But why is the former Queen still implicated?

"Princess, are you serious about this?" the old lady asked.

Lin Yunyan said: "It's true that someone is messing around and trying to make up for the late queen's madness..."

"Nonsense!" The old lady was angry and interrupted Lin Yunyan, "Who can be so vicious! Can he say such bastard words?"

Aunt Yu quickly helped the old lady who was breathing heavily and gave her a pat on the back.

"Don't be excited. Being excited is the way for a person who is possessed by evil!" Lin Yunyan comforted, "This is a serious matter. Do you want to invite my uncle and the others to come over?"

The old lady nodded.

While waiting, Lin Yunyan said to the old lady again: "The fact that I am here alone proves that the Queen Mother has no intention of making a big show. She asked me to bring you a few words..."

The old lady closed her eyes, listened carefully, and then said slowly: "Yes, that's the truth. Princess, we behave upright and stand upright, as long as the Queen Mother is willing to listen to our explanation. I will tell you

Put it here, the late queen definitely does not have that kind of disease!"

Just be afraid, things are irreversible and there is no reason to say anything.

No matter how innocent you are, you will still be stuck in the mud, unable to stand up.

Now, if the Empress Dowager is willing to calmly clarify the matter, then the Xia family will still have a chance.

When the old uncle, Uncle Enrong and his son arrived, they heard the rumor that "the late empress was mad", and their faces became uglier than the last.

"Princess," the old man clenched his fists with both hands, "since you are being honest, can you tell me who is orchestrating this outside?"

"Yes, to be honest, I have to show you the evidence," Lin Yunyan said. "At the same time, I also want to understand how it is that the late Queen has been gone for more than ten years, so why are there really people talking about old things? I would like to ask

Where is the third young master of your mansion now?"

"Qingzhi?" The old man was extremely surprised and said hurriedly, "Is it because Qingzhi is talking nonsense? No, no, no, it's impossible! No matter how stupid he is, he will never put such a label on the former queen."

Lin Yunyan smiled, not worried at all: "I mean, the third young master may have been taken advantage of without knowing it."

Perhaps because of Lin Yunyan's calmness and relaxation, the old man gradually calmed down a little.

yes.

The princess is sitting here alone, and the maid she brought seems to be having tea and talking with the familiar maid of the Xia family in the small hall in front.

This is the attitude!

With this attitude, the Xia family must not mess up their position and miss the opportunity to prove themselves.

"Go and call Qingzhi," the old man said, "call his parents as well, and listen carefully."

Several people were in the mansion, and they arrived quite quickly. Xia Qinglue also came with them.

When Xia Qingzhi learned that the elders in his family were looking for him, his heart skipped a beat. When he saw Lin Yunyan, he suddenly thought of the carriage yesterday evening.

He secretly said to himself: The princess just went to buy rouge yesterday, just on her way. There is no way the princess could know what Pang Feng said.

Even so, a guilty conscience is still a guilty conscience.

Mrs. Enrongbo asked: "Qingzhi, who have you heard mentioning the late Queen recently?"

Xia Qingzhi's face turned pale in an instant: "How could you... No, he is talking nonsense, I don't believe him!"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady and the old man exchanged a look.

Sure enough, the princess was right, there was indeed someone close to Qingzhi who picked on the late queen.

"Who is that man? What did he say? Tell us quickly!" the old lady urged.

During a class meeting, Xia Qingzhi didn't want to betray Pang Feng and said vaguely: "I didn't say anything. He also heard what others said. The rumors were false. He has already apologized to me."

The old man said coldly: "If you are asked to say it, just say it!"

"His grandmother is suffering from madness and is not in good condition. She takes some soothing spices to control her condition," Xia Qingzhi said with a bitter face. "His family is poor and he relies on the support of noble people to continue his studies. He heard that person say,

I have seen the late Queen get very angry before."

"What a bastard! What a bastard!" The old lady had been dignified all her life and could not curse anyone even if she wanted to. Moreover, because her daughter who died young was spread rumors, she felt sad in her heart and burst into tears. "What noble man? What year?"

When will Yue meet the empress? Why did the empress get so angry? Let him come out and explain to me!"

Xia Qingzhi was frightened by the old lady.

No matter how many complaints you have about your elders in private, you still respect them face to face.

He knelt down and held the old lady's knees: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, he just talked and connected two unrelated things casually. I warned him and he also apologized. From now on

I will never mention it again. I don’t believe him..."

Xia Qingzhi became more and more anxious as he talked, and he couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

It was just a few words in the private room, and the matter was over, so why did it come to the elders?

Turning to look at Lin Yunyan, Xia Qingzhi asked: "Is the princess complaining?"

"What kind of complaint!" The old man wanted to kick Xia Qingzhi, "The princess is here to save her life! Are you talking in a hurry? You said it casually? I really help count the money when someone sells me!"

"I..." Xia Qingzhi turned his head away, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Third Young Master," Lin Yunyan said slowly, "You said you don't believe him, so besides you, who else in your house would ask about the temper of the late Queen and whether she has punished her subordinates?"

After the words fell, everyone in the Xia family looked unhappy.

It is really not a shameful thing for outsiders to find out about your home situation.

Fortunately, there was some leakage and the leakage was in the right place. Otherwise, when the other party was ready and attacked with force, they would be even more overwhelmed.

Xia Qingzhi was embarrassed and ashamed, and felt uncomfortable being exposed.
