Five hundred and twentieth eight chapters against each other
The prince gave a wry smile and sighed again: "That's not the case yet. Those people in the kitchen were specially selected to come to Fengyi Palace. They are basically people who do things safely and reliably. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong for the Queen Mother to eat every day?
Are you on tenterhooks? Therefore, it is really difficult to cross-examine them. I separated them and tortured them one by one. But after asking them over and over again, I couldn't get anything out of them."
After talking about it later, the prince's face became a little gloomy. After working for most of the night and getting nothing, it was really irritating and annoying.
Gu Xinian was not too surprised by such a result. He just said lightly: "One of these people must have a guilty conscience. As long as we continue to investigate, we will always find out the clues."
No matter how careful the plan is, it will never be perfect and will always leave clues. As long as you follow it carefully, sooner or later the truth will come to light.
The implication of Gu Xinian's words was very clear. The prince did not pretend not to understand. Instead, he immediately expressed his position: "It goes without saying that this matter will be investigated to the end." The mastermind behind the scenes made it clear that he was targeting the female relatives of the prince's palace.
Yes, Mr. Mo is still lying on the bed unconscious. How can he, a dignified prince, swallow such a tone?
Thinking further, this person has already reached out to the small kitchen of Fengyidian, and his ability is really shocking. This time, Mo and Ye Qinglan were caught in the trick, just in case this conspiracy falls into place next time.
On Queen Gu's head...
The prince and Gu Xinian exchanged glances and did not continue talking.
Empress Gu comforted Ye Qinglan with a few words, and told her to rest peacefully: "...Don't think too much about anything now, rest here peacefully for a few days. I have asked my daughter-in-law to keep an eye on the food. I will never do it."
If something goes wrong again..."
"Aunt," Gu Xinian suddenly interrupted Empress Gu: "Qinglan has entered the palace not long ago. My nephew wants to take her back to the palace as soon as possible, and I hope my aunt will give me permission."
...It is clear that he does not trust the environment in the palace, and he is even more worried about leaving Ye Qinglan to recuperate in Fengyi Palace.
Queen Gu frowned reflexively, feeling a little displeased in her heart, but she smiled gently and said, "Ms. Ye has just woken up, and the remaining poison in her body has not been cleared yet. It would be better for her to be taken care of by an imperial doctor. She can return to her home after she recovers."
Not too late..."
"Please forgive my nephew for being rude." Gu Xinian looked calm, not realizing how hurtful the words he was about to say were: "The last time my nephew entered the palace, he solemnly entrusted Qinglan's safety to his aunt.
At that time, my aunt also promised her nephew very carefully. But within a few days, something like this happened. My nephew is really worried about leaving Qinglan in the palace, so it would be better to go back to the mansion to recuperate. "
Queen Gu was choked and could not speak, and the smile on her face could not be kept.
When the prince saw this, he was about to smooth things over, but unexpectedly Shen Qiuyu opened his mouth first: "It's really inappropriate for cousin Gu to say that. After yesterday's incident, the queen mother supported her sick body and ordered the imperial doctor to interrogate the people in the kitchen herself.
Those people waited until the Crown Prince arrived before they rested. Today, in order to provide food for the Crown Princess and her cousin-in-law, they specially called the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen to give them some advice. My cousin would not appreciate the mother's kindness.
That’s all, but you still insist on bringing your cousin back home. Doesn’t this chill the mother’s heart?”
What she said was true and sincere. She stood completely in Empress Gu's position and said things that were inconvenient for both the prince and Empress Gu to say. The prince felt very comfortable after hearing this. Even Empress Gu was slightly moved.
.
Gu Xinian narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corner of his lips with a mocking arc: "Why does Concubine Shen want Qinglan to stay in the palace so much?"
These words were very sharp and pointed, and contained many unspoken suspicions.
Shen Qiuyu's smile froze, her pupils shrank quickly, and she immediately showed a look of grievance, with a faint glimmer of water in her eyes: "Cousin Gu said this. Could it be that he is suspicious of me? ?I stayed in my room all day yesterday, and none of the maids around me took a step away without permission. Besides, I haven't been to the palace many times, and I have never interacted with anyone in the kitchen, and I don't even know anyone. To be honest, even if I had this motive, I would never have the opportunity or means. Besides, the Crown Princess has a kind temperament and has always been generous to me. I have always respected the Crown Princess, and there is no way I would give birth to a child. Such rebellious thoughts come from..."
As he spoke, his eyes were already red, but he forced himself to hold back the tears, which made him look particularly touching and touching, enough to move all men.
Of course, among all these people, Gu Xinian was not included. A trace of sarcasm and ridicule flashed in his eyes, but his expression remained cold.
There was a trace of suspicion in the prince's heart, but after her aggrieved explanation, not only did the suspicion disappear, he also took the initiative to defend Shen Qiuyu: "This matter indeed has nothing to do with Yu'er. Last night, Yu'er was still worried about Mo I kept watch all night."
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled faintly: "I just asked casually, why is Concubine Shen so excited?"
Shen Qiuyu bit her teeth in grievance and said nothing. She just glanced at the prince.
The prince was immediately aroused, and he coughed and said: "My cousin just said it casually, so you don't have to take it too seriously. You have nothing to do here, so you should leave first."
Shen Qiuyu responded softly and retreated. From the beginning to the end, she never looked at Gu Xinian again.
The prince saw this and felt inexplicably happy and comfortable.
Ye Qinglan saw the subtle changes in the prince's expression and the joy in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Shen Qiuyu's move was so powerful, it was tailor-made for the stingy and jealous prince. What else could be better than being in public? What better way to show your true feelings by arguing with Gu Xinian? Even if the prince still has a knot in his heart, it will be gone after this incident!
Thinking more deeply, Mo's poisoning was very serious and she still hasn't woken up yet. Her foundation was weak in the first place. After all this trouble, it's hard to say how her health will be in the future. As for Concubine Lin, she is already suspected of poisoning the Crown Princess. It completely fell on her head. Even if the suspicion is cleared in the future, her vitality will be greatly damaged. In the future, the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion will become Shen Qiuyu's world again!
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Shen Qiuyu is definitely the biggest winner in this poisoning incident! If it is said that the poisoning has nothing to do with Shen Qiuyu, Ye Qinglan will not believe it for the first time. But everything must be based on evidence, and now Shen Qiuyu has completely ignored it , there is no evidence to prove that she is related to this matter. Just relying on speculation and conjecture will definitely not help Shen Qiuyu in the slightest...
With the previous episode as a buffer, the atmosphere relaxed a little. Gu Xinian looked at Empress Gu again, but this time his tone was much softer: "Aunt, my nephew did not doubt your intentions. However, out of After such a thing happened, Fengyi Palace was at the forefront of the storm again, with people coming and going, so it was not suitable for rest. Moreover, the Crown Princess was still unconscious and needed care. There was also a thorough investigation into the inside story behind the poisoning incident. These things were all It will fall on my aunt, who has not yet fully recovered and may not be able to cope with it. If Qinglan stays, it will increase the burden on her aunt. It would be better for her nephew to take her back to the house. The house is so With more hands, it will be easier to take care of.”
These tactful words were much more pleasant to the ears than before. Queen Gu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. If so, I won't stop you. You can take advantage of it before it gets dark.
Take Ye out of the palace! I will instruct the Qin Imperial Physician to go to Duke Dingguo's mansion every day."
Gu Xinian finally convinced Queen Gu and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yue's expression changed, and when he was about to speak, Empress Gu looked over again with a smile: "Ms. Zhang, you have lived in the palace for many days. Although you don't say it, you must be homesick in your heart. Just follow.
Let’s go back home together in Xinian!”
Zhang Yue was overjoyed, but said: "My aunt has not recovered yet, and there are so many trivial matters to take care of in Fengyi Palace. My nephew-in-law should stay and help my aunt with some trivial matters!"
Empress Gu was naturally relieved after hearing these words, and said with a pleasant smile: "It's rare that you are so considerate, and my aunt understands it. However, even if I am too busy, I still have Yan'er and Shen staying in the palace to help me! You don't have to worry.
That's it, just go back home with peace of mind. When you have free time in the future, come back to the palace to accompany your aunt."
Zhang Yue then obediently agreed.
When it comes to trying to please and behave, Ye Qinglan will never lose to Zhang Yue. However, Gu Xinian has already made it clear and insists on returning home. It would be too hypocritical for her to say any more polite words, so she simply doesn't say anything more.
He smiled and said: "Aunt, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't work too hard. You can rest more in the future and take good care of yourself."
Empress Gu nodded with a smile. After spending so many days together, she and Ye Qinglan had indeed developed some feelings for each other. If nothing else, at least the reluctance at this moment was genuine and genuine: "When you leave, I really
I can’t bear to part with it. I will definitely come to the palace more often when I have time from now on.”
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile.
After Ruixue and Ruomei got the news, they started to pack their luggage hurriedly. They brought back everything they had brought with them before coming, as well as the jewelry, jades, clothing and jewelry given by Queen Gu. Even with the help of two palace maids, it was still a busy day.
It took time to tidy up.
Because Ye Qinglan was still too weak to move around, Empress Gu specially ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan and carry her all the way to the palace gate.
The moment she walked out of the palace, Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. After living in the palace for so long, she didn't have much affection for this majestic and gorgeous palace. Now that she could finally leave the palace, she felt relaxed.
stand up.
Seeing the smile on her lips, Gu Xinian also had a smile in her eyes: "Lan'er, let's go home!"
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and smiled: "Okay, let's go home together."
