Chapter 97 Don’t be tainted by dirty things
But the words that came out of his mouth became: "It is the emperor's birthday, and the palace should be more vigilant."
The jade-like voice was clear and pleasant, but Leng Lanzhi felt a little confused.
Isn't it what the Praetorian Guards should do to strengthen their security?
Then he thought about it, Jinxing Si had the responsibility of supervising each department, and Gu Zhan was only responsible to the emperor, and his responsibility was to ensure the emperor's safety, so he no longer thought about it: "Then Gu Diansi, go and do your work."
The moment they passed each other, she seemed to smell a familiar smell from Gu Zhan's body.
Gu Zhan's eyes glanced over the sachet at her waist.
There is also a sachet with the same formula hanging on his waist, but the color and size are different.
But if you look closely, you will find that the colors of the silk threads used in the patterns of the two sachets are exactly the same, but the embroidery styles are different.
Leng Lanzhi suspected that he felt something was wrong. Just as he was searching carefully, he heard a jade-like voice say again: "Princess."
"Gu Diansi, is there anything else?" Leng Lanzhi looked at him in confusion.
Gu Zhan didn't know when he turned around and bowed: "Princess, please don't let some dirty things taint your eyes."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Leng Lan alone, who slowly frowned.
On this day in my memory, the prince's brother was spilled wine in the main hall and had to go to the side hall to change clothes.
He was taken to the side hall where women change clothes, and there were already people waiting inside.
She was a singer who came from outside the palace. The prince's brother had a fierce affair with her and never returned. Later, she was caught and raped.
The prince's brother and the prince's sister-in-law have been married for ten years. They have been under pressure not to take concubines, and there is no doubt about the love between the couple.
That's why when something like this happened, the princess's sister-in-law's mood fluctuated so much that she almost had a miscarriage.
Leng Lanzhi had always had doubts about what happened back then. The prince's brother was not a random person. Otherwise, with his status, there would be no need to be sneaky at all. Moreover, he was a gentle person, and he would not do it at his father's birthday banquet.
The secret affair with the singer.
Afterwards, she once suspected that the prince's brother had eaten something, or... there was something in the room.
She had already taken precautions, but now Gu Zhan's words confirmed her guess.
"Walk."
Not long after, Leng Lanzhi and Liusha were led to the side hall by palace officials.
There are four rooms in the side hall, and Leng Lanzhi accurately found one of them based on his memories from his previous life.
At that time, the door was closed.
Liusha held her breath and kicked open the door.
The room was empty, there was no one on the bed, only the incense curled up, exuding an intoxicating aroma.
Liusha covered her mouth and nose and entered the house. She poured out the incense in the incense burner with tea and put it outside the window. Only then did she dare to let Leng Lanzhi enter the house.
Leng Lanzhi looked around.
no one?
Did she guess wrong? That woman hasn’t entered the side hall yet?
Her eyes moved to the incense burner outside the window, and she frowned and ordered: "Search."
Liu Sha and the palace maid took the order and immediately searched the room. Soon they found a woman hiding in the closet.
The woman was only wearing a layer of gauze. The translucent gauze could not cover her body at all. Under the looming appearance, both what should be seen and what should not be seen could be seen. There was also a hazy feeling as if she was holding a pipa and half covering her face.
Beauty.
She was leaning in the cabinet, her eyes were misty, and when she saw the light, she looked out the door and smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness, you are here..."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to hug Liusha.
Liusha's complexion changed drastically and she staggered back several steps: "Bold thief!"
But the woman seemed not to hear what she said, staggering after her, tearing the gauze on her body while chasing: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
Leng Lanzhi narrowed his eyes.
I thought she was a victim, but it seems she was wrong.
In this case, don't blame her for being cruel.
"Alan."
Alan came in from outside, chopped the woman unconscious, and someone picked her up.
At the same time, inside the main hall.
The King of Qin was "communicating with friends" with the King of Yue next to him. The King of Qin raised his arm in excitement and wanted to slam the table. A palace official came up to pour wine, and all the wine spilled on the King of Qin.
"Your Highness, King Qin, forgive me! Your Highness, King Qin, forgive me!"
The King of Yue smiled kindly and said, "You didn't do it on purpose, so don't be nervous."
King Qin sneered: "Lao Wu, when will you be my master?"
The King of Yue smiled modestly: "Third brother, you are serious. I dare not be my brother's boss. It's just that today is my father's birthday. If you make things worse, my father will be unhappy."
"Ha! Apart from using my father to oppress me, what else can you do?"
The King of Yue smiled and said nothing.
The more King Qin looked at the mask-like smile on his face, the angrier he became. It happened that he couldn't do anything to King Yue, and even the palace man couldn't punish him openly at this moment.
He sneered: "You'd better protect him for the rest of your life!"
When your clothes are dirty, you naturally need to change them.
King Qin then left the banquet.
It is common for someone's clothes to get dirty during a banquet. The side hall used for changing clothes is designed to deal with such situations.
Generally speaking, unless the person changing clothes does something else in the middle, it won't take too long.
For example, Princess Jialuo, her time of coming and going is not very long.
But the later King of Qin left for a little longer.
"Did King Qin go back to his fief to change his clothes? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
The birthday banquet has reached the second half, but King Qin is nowhere to be seen, and the emperor is a little angry.
At this moment, a young eunuch broke into the main hall and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Your Highness, King Qin, he...he..."
The joyful atmosphere of the birthday banquet came to an abrupt end.
Soon, the officials and their family members were sent out of the palace, leaving only the royal family members in the huge palace.
Leng Lanzhi followed the crowd, walking leisurely in the direction directed by the palace servants, but he was analyzing the causes and consequences in his mind.
If the person behind the scenes is really the third brother, King Qin, is his goal really the prince's brother?
Although a scandal at the birthday banquet can indeed damage the image of the prince's brother, it would be too fanciful to use this to kick him out of the prince's position.
The prince's elder brother had a docile temperament and had always been friendly to his brothers before.
As soon as this incident came out, no matter how docile he was, he could still detect that the person behind the scenes must be one of those brothers, and even if he was bolder, he could directly identify the suspect - King Qin.
After all, King Qin was favored by his father and gained the most.
You failed to trample the prince to death and left a clue. Are you waiting for revenge from the prince?
unless……
The purpose of these people is not to make a small fuss, but the child in the belly of the Crown Princess’s sister-in-law!
The child was gone, the crown prince's sister-in-law could no longer have children, coupled with the shock of the prince's brother being caught in bed and being punished by his father in anger, the combination of all these factors could completely crush the prince's brother.
That's...this is the only possibility.
The person behind the scenes has such a heavy heart! What a vicious plan!
Moreover, that person's power has penetrated into the prince's palace, otherwise that person would not have been the first to know that the prince's sister-in-law was pregnant, and there must be no accident with this pregnancy.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Leng Lanzhi's back.
It turned out that the shadow of a black hand had long enveloped her and the prince brother.
She became more and more certain that her failed marriage was not entirely a tragedy caused by meeting an unkind person.
