Fortunately, at a quarter past eight, something came out of the window.

Zhuang Yulan almost fell asleep. Although she had something in her heart, she was always pampered. She was not allowed to be spoiled when she entered the palace, but her life was also all kinds of delicate. She would sleep beauty sleep just after dark every day. Where would she wait so late like today?

Benedictine

The knocking sound from the window was like a nightingale pecking gently, or someone tapping with one finger. Zhuang Yulan woke up in an instant. She moved too much and almost touched the candle on the table.

Hurriedly held the candlestick, got up quickly and walked to the window. Zhuang Yulan opened the window and saw the maid in waiting who had contacted her before. On the surface, this palace maid is from the tassel palace, called Zhu Yun, who is responsible for carrying tea and pouring water around the queen. But Zhuang Yulan knew that Zhu Yun was actually the person around the princess. She didn't know how the princess stuffed people into the tassel palace and why she wanted to monitor the queen.

"You finally came. I thought you wouldn't come." Zhuang Yulan has a more or less complaining tone.

Although the pot of Jianlan she gave to the queen last time was actually ordered by the princess and brought in by Wei Chi Lianqing quietly, Zhu Yun was responsible for delivering the news. In the face of the princess or Wei Chi Lianqing, Zhuang Yulan is naturally polite and won't say anything important, but she can't be polite to a little maid in waiting.

Who knows, Zhu Yun's face sank: "Zhuang Xiaozhu, why don't you sleep so late? If someone finds something unusual, it's troublesome to suspect you."

"What's your tone? When does my little Lord go to bed? You need a slave to take care of it?" Zhuang Yu was rude when he was in Langton. He was scolded by the Empress Dowager during the day. Unexpectedly, she was frightened and had to be shaken by a maid in waiting at night. She couldn't help it.

But Zhu Yun didn't give face at all. She stood outside the window and said coldly, "I don't want to take care of the villa leader. I just want to remind the villa leader that if your majesty suspects that the potted flower sent by the villa leader has played a role, it will cause an accident to the empress. I'm afraid it's not the villa leader. Even your father Guanglu Temple Qing, Lord Zhuang, can't protect himself!"

When Zhuang Yu was shocked, he clenched his fist and wanted to slap Zhu Yun in the face. But after all, she knew what the other party said was true, and she didn't want to complain about it when she turned on the light and came to Zhu Yun tonight. She had the cheek to smoke, and she finally endured it.

After a moment's silence, Zhu Yun said with a straight face, "well, tell me what's the matter, little leader Zhuang."

Thinking about business, Zhuang Yulan finally restrained her anger and said, "you can ask the princess or princess Yiyang when they can find a chance to see me in the palace. I have something to say to them..."

"Have you forgotten your identity?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunfei didn't promise, Instead, she said, "the princess said that if something happens, she will naturally take the initiative to contact Zhuang Xiaozhu. Zhuang Xiaozhu is already a concubine of the back palace. It's even more inappropriate to contact people outside the palace at will. In case someone finds something, I'm afraid it will think of something bad for the princess. Zhuang Xiaozhu is still calm, and the princess will find you if something happens."

"But today, your majesty and Luo qingluan clearly doubt me."

At the thought of Luo qingluan's words and her eyes, Zhuang Yulan was terrified that there was a ghost in her heart. What if Luo qingluan or his majesty finds out?

I thought I sent a pot of flowers to the queen, but it was all right, but the queen was in a coma. Moreover, after a long investigation today, the others have no problem, whether it's the sachet or the box of plum cakes from Luo qingluan... Since there's no problem with the things, the queen shouldn't be in a coma, but the queen still has an accident, which proves that there's something wrong around her.

Zhuang Yu Lanton suspected that there was something wrong with the pot of Jianlan he sent. Otherwise, why would the princess let Princess Yiyang into the palace and specially sent her this pot of flowers to put it in the Queen's tassel palace?

It must be so. Although Zhuang Yulan knew that she had escaped the first inspection, what if the orchid had been put all the time and the queen was in a coma again? Or what if the potted flower is found to be faulty?

At that time, she really couldn't argue, and the explanation was useless.

However, at the thought of going to admit to his majesty, Zhuang Yulan didn't have the courage!

Wen Cairen was just afraid and ran away secretly, but he was still charged by his majesty and ordered to think behind closed doors. If your majesty knows that she gave the potted flowers to the empress, even if she doesn't know, she can't escape the blame. It's definitely worse than Wen Cairen.

"Well, villa leader, don't worry. Your majesty has asked people to clean up all the things of the empress. All the things you sent are lost. How can your majesty doubt?"

Zhu Yun said expressionless, "well, little leader Zhuang, don't think about it. If there's any problem, I'll tell you." Then she turned and left.

"Wait!"

How willing Zhuang Yulan was. After all, she was involved in it, but she didn't know it clearly. It seemed that she was alone in the dark, not even the palace maid in front of her. Not wanting to hand over his fate to others, Zhuang Yulan immediately said, "tell me, is there a problem with that pot of Jianlan?"

She had to ask one more question about her life and death.

In the night, Zhu Yun seemed impatient. She frowned and said, "I don't need to know this kind of thing yet..."

"There's something wrong with the flower, isn't it?" It was also suspected that Zhu Yun hesitated and didn't say it directly, but Zhuang Yulan affirmed it all at once. If there is no problem, why should the princess try every means to let her transfer the flower to the queen? If there is no problem, Zhu Yun can say it straight... Since she doesn't say, the princess is still doing so much, then it's clear that the flower is a problem.

"What's your name? Speak louder to attract people, don't you?"

Startled by Zhuang Yulan's voice, Zhu Yun covered her mouth with a straight face and said in a deep voice: "villa leader, the ugly words of slaves and maidservants can be said here. No matter whether there is a problem with the flower or not, you have done everything anyway. Although you don't know when your majesty will investigate, if villa leader dares to implicate the princess, you will bear the consequences!"

With a sense of evil spirit on her face, Zhu Yun didn't look like a palace maid at this moment, but with the murderous spirit of the executioner. Zhuang Yu struggled with fear when Langton opened his mouth and wanted to bite her hand.

"You......" suddenly, Zhu Yun pushed Zhuang Yulan away and looked at a row of teeth marks bitten on his hand. If she didn't withdraw her hand quickly, I'm afraid she would really be bitten off a piece of meat.

"I didn't do it. It has nothing to do with me, you hear me!"

Zhuang Yulan was shocked by Zhu Yun's words and forgot where she was. "The princess asked me to do it all. Even if your majesty found out, it has nothing to do with me... It doesn't matter! No, I'm going to tell your majesty that the princess asked me to put the flower in the Queen's bedroom. Even if something happened to the queen, it's also the princess's problem..."

Completely stunned by the consequences of this incident, Zhuang Yulan finally knew that she had been used by the princess. And in front of her, the palace maid looked ferocious. I was afraid that if something happened to her, the other party would put the responsibility on her.

The more you think about it, the more wrong it is. Zhuang Yulan's panic heart will jump out. The more she thinks about it, the worse she feels. Her voice becomes louder and louder, and she forgets to control it.

"Shut up, villa leader, do you hear me? If you quarrel again, others will be disturbed..."

"I didn't do it. I didn't hurt the queen... It's none of my business!"

Zhuang Yulan was completely stunned. She kept mumbling to herself, and her eyes were full of panic. Zhu Yun kept telling her to shut up and didn't hear her. Her voice was too loud. It spread far away in the night. The lights had been turned off nearby, and someone in the room was awakened. The lights were on one by one

"Shut up!" Zhu Yun flashed a murderous opportunity in her eyes. Seeing Zhuang Yulan yelling, she quickly cut off Zhuang Yulan's neck, and then dragged her out of the window.

"Who... Don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the noise..."

Seeing the sound of talking in the next room, it seemed that someone was coming to see. Zhu Yun picked up Zhuang Yulan and ran away. Several dodged and ran to a pool and threw Zhuang Yulan down.

With a plop, Zhuang Yulan woke up when she was choked by the water, but she was caught off guard. She was immediately filled with a mouthful of pool water, and the cry for help was drowned in the water. But for a moment, her struggle slowed down and slowly sank into the water.

Seeing that there was no movement in the pool, Zhu Yun snorted coldly and left quietly.

But what she didn't find was that a voice came out in the shade of the trees not far away, took a look at Zhuang Yulan's body in the pool, and left without moving.

After another moment, the forbidden army patrolling all the way passed by, and the fire was reflected in the pool. Someone inadvertently looked at it and immediately shouted, "someone fell into the water!"

Suddenly, the pool opened. A moment later, the supervisor of the internal prison, sun Dafu, also startled and entered the Shui'an palace with a group of maids and eunuchs

All night, people in Shuian palace were in panic and no one fell asleep.

The next day

"What, Zhuang Cairen secretly murdered the queen and committed suicide for fear of crime?" When Nangong Qing heard the news, his eyes widened.

Sun Dafu bowed down and said carefully, "Your Majesty, Zhuang CAI was found drowned in the pool next to Shui'an Palace last night by the patrolling forbidden army. In addition, there were no other scars on her. It is speculated that she committed suicide."

Suicide, how did you commit suicide?

Nangong Qing's face was dark. He didn't expect this to happen.

Yesterday, Luo qingluan said that Zhuang Yulan might have a problem, so she wanted to continue to wait to see if she would show her feet. But I didn't expect that she drowned that night. Isn't there a problem?

Drowning is true, dreadful suicide may not be true!

If you are really afraid of crime and have the courage to commit suicide, why not confess earlier? Didn't Zhuang Yulan want to fight for a chance to live? Or did she worry that what she did would involve the dealer and simply have no proof? But she has such a character that she really has the courage to commit suicide?

Nangong Qing sneered: "what's the fear of committing suicide? I'm afraid someone is murdering! Check it out for me!"

After sun Dafu left, Nangong Qing was bored in the warm Pavilion. He heard a palace man report: "Your Majesty, Princess Chu is coming."

"Princess Chu? Please!"

Nangong Qing's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Luo qingluan to come at this time. He was looking for someone to discuss her, so she came. It's really good.

"Yes, your majesty." Luo qingluan was helped into the warm room by Dai Yue.

"Princess Chu, you came just in time. I have something to tell you. Zhuang Cairen committed suicide last night and drowned in the pool..."

Before Nangong Qing finished his words, Luo qingluan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here for this."

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. Nangong Qing looked at Luo qingluan. This ignored her behavior. Dai Yue helped her in from beginning to end: "does Princess Chu already know about Zhuang Cairen's death?"

"To tell your majesty, after Zhuang Cairen returned to the Palace last night, in fact, I sent someone to monitor her. My people can see clearly whether Zhuang Cairen committed suicide or was killed." Luo qingluan said calmly, "Your Majesty, don't forget the people in the dark night hall, right?"
