Chapter 371: Watch carefully before the aftermath has subsided
Lan Ning and Jin Lingyi came into the palace to pay their respects to the queen.
Liang Xiaoying came out and said: "The Queen knows that you two are thinking about her, but she is really sad. It will be sad to mention it after meeting, so it would be better not to see each other. Please be considerate to the two princes and concubines, and wait until the Queen is in a better mood.
Now that you've calmed down a bit, I'll invite you two to talk."
Lan Ning and Jin Lingyi also said hurriedly: "We didn't sleep a wink all night even after we found out, let alone the Queen. Please forgive me in front of the Queen, and also trouble the manager to convey my thoughts to the Queen. Please forgive me.
Take care of yourself."
Liang Xiao also said: "I'm sure, you two should go slowly."
The two of them came out of the Queen's Palace and arrived in front of the Furong Palace.
I happened to meet Wei Zhong.
Jin Lingyi smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Wei, where are you going?"
Wei Zhong bowed to say hello, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm going to send a message to the imperial prison. Our empress has gone to the palace of the empress dowager. You two can go to Tong'an Palace!"
Lan Ning said with a smile: "I was talking to my sister on the way! I went to Tong'an Palace after paying my respects to my mother and concubine. This time it just happened, and it was even more lively when we were all together."
After saying that, he stopped going in and went to Tong'an Palace again.
Meeting Yu Guming head-on, Lan Ning asked with a smile: "Brother Ming, is it your turn to work today? I haven't seen you for a long time, and your fifth brother was still talking about you the day before yesterday!"
"Second sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, hello, I...I just finished my shift, and it's time to go...out of the palace." Yu Guming said.
"We're going to pay our respects to the Dowager Empress. Have you been there already?" Lan Ning asked.
Yu Guming nodded: "Fu Fei is here."
"Then let's go to your house! Your fifth brother originally wanted to treat you to a drink, but he was afraid that he would be late again." Seeing Yu Guming go, Jin Lingyi whispered: "This Prince Yu is so happy in every possible way.
Okay, it’s just a pity that I have some stuttering. It shows that no one in the world is perfect.”
"This kid is kind. Anyone who knows him well will like him." Lan Ning said, "Even His Majesty relies heavily on him. Based on this alone, there are many scheming people who are not as good as him."
"Why don't you see His Majesty conferring a marriage to Crown Prince Jade? I wonder which girl is lucky enough to marry him." Jin Lingyi said, "Not only Crown Prince Jade is very good-looking, but also the Duke and the Princess are the same."
Wait a minute, good man."
"I'm not afraid of making you laugh. The fifth prince has been worrying about Gu Ming's marriage in the past few years," Lan Ning said with a smile, "It's just that I haven't met the right one."
The two of them came to Tong'an Palace while talking. Concubine Fu and Concubine Rong sat opposite each other and drank tea. Xue Hengzhao was also waiting in front of them.
"Just now I told the concubine that you two are probably going to enter the palace today. Have you met the queen?"
"We went to Ronghua Palace first. Manager Liang Xiaoliang said that the Queen was too sad and didn't want to see her, so we asked him to tell her and came over here," Lan Ning said.
"The Yao family has really suffered a misfortune this time," Concubine Rong sighed, "I heard that Liang Jing ran away. This is really painful."
"I don't know how many days the funeral will be suspended. The female family members don't need to be present on the first one or two days, but they should go on the third day anyway. Lingyi's wedding can be exempted, Lan Ning, don't forget it," Concubine Fu warned.
"My mother-in-law ordered me to remember it," Lan Ning said.
We talked some more and drank two cups of tea.
"It's rare that you two enter the palace, so let's have lunch here! It's a pity that it's a vegetarian meal." Concubine Rong liked these two granddaughter-in-laws very much.
Like Ma Feiyan and Yao Wanyi, she never left food.
Lan Ning and the others thanked them and said, "We want to go for a walk in the garden and then come back to have a meal with our ancestors."
"Let's go, let's go! Young people have light legs and bright eyes. It's time to enjoy and stroll around." Rong Taifei said, "It's such a nice weather, don't stay indoors."
He also called Xue Hengzhao: "I know you have always been able to talk to each other, so you can go too! You don't have to wait here."
A few people came out and walked to Wanchun Garden. Lan Ning said to the maids who were following them: "There are not many people walking around in this garden today. You guys can walk around! But remember not to play around, don't
Nonsense."
Especially the two girls who followed Jin Lingyi into the palace were eager for this, so the four of them held hands and went shopping.
Sister Lan Ning and Xue Hengzhao chose a remote pavilion here.
Lan Ning said: "Hengzhao, please sit down quickly. You always stand in front of the concubine. We don't need to pay attention to these things."
Xue Hengzhao did not sit down, but smiled and said to Jin Lingyi: "I haven't congratulated the second prince's concubine yet! You came into the palace to greet me some time ago, but I was not in front of the concubine because I had something to do, so I couldn't see you."
"Don't be so polite. I don't like you to be like this." Jin Lingyi said, "My sister has told me that you are Lin'er's adoptive mother. She has long said that we are all sisters."
"I said the same thing. If there are outsiders in front of you, you have to pretend even if you can't help it." Lan Ning said with a smile, "It would be pedantic if we are just the ones who are so particular."
"Of course what the two princes and concubines said makes sense, but it's better to be careful in this place." Xue Hengzhao said, "Then please sit down on the steps in front of the pavilion. You must not sit on an equal footing with the two of you."
"Heng Zhao, who did you say was responsible for what happened to the Yao brothers?" Jin Lingyi asked Xue Hengzhao.
"What do you think?" Xue Hengzhao asked with a smile, "Isn't everyone talking about Liang Jingdong's hand now?"
"This doesn't make sense. Liang Jing must have fallen into a trap to act like this. The real person behind the scenes must have a grudge against the queen, so he came up with such a vicious plan." Jin Lingyi said, "Now the queen has let
The second prince is going to search for Liang Jing to see if he can be found."
Xue Hengzhao and Lan Ning looked at each other calmly. Of course Lan Ning knew what was going on here.
But there are some things that Jin Lingyi still can't know.
"The second princess's opinion is very reasonable." Xue Hengzhao said, "In fact, if the queen and the Yao family were smarter, they should be able to guess who it is, but they are not willing to doubt that person from the beginning to the end."
"You mean... the Concubine Xian?" Jin Lingyi looked around and lowered her voice.
"Lingyi, why do you say that?" Lan Ning asked.
"The sixth prince was with the Yao brothers at that time. Why did the Yao brothers die unexpectedly, but the sixth prince was only slightly injured?" Jin Lingyi said, "If the sixth prince is lucky, God bless him.
It's barely fair to say.
But after thinking about it again, it would benefit Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince the most. The Yao brothers died, leaving only Yao Wanyi as an only daughter.
Concubine Xian was so good at winning over people, and she was closer to Yao Wanyi than to her own daughter. Even if she knew that the queen did not mean to harm the two Yao brothers, it was still the queen's subordinates who did it.
The Yao family and his wife will unconsciously favor the Sixth Prince."
