Chapter 226

Luo Ninghai stared at the palace gate for a long time. The bright sun shone on most of her face through the window, but her heart seemed to be thrown into the abyss.

She thought the truth of Mu Langhua's tragic death in Donghua palace. It will be the result of Su Rushan's frame up behind him. Unexpectedly, the emperor was afraid of Mu Langhua's success. Therefore, he and Su Rushan jointly covered her with a crime of disorderly harem, and let her die in the palace with thousands of arrows through her heart.

Luo Ninghai couldn't help tightening her skirt. The truth of the matter worried her a lot. Since the mastermind of this matter is the emperor. So it's unlikely to bring down Su Rushuang with this matter. On the contrary, it will make the emperor think that she is backed by the Luo family. Intended to interfere with government affairs. Besides, the emperor was able to kill mu Langhua with Mu Jiajun as the backstage for his throne. So today, will he know himself because of his brother's achievements.

Luo Ninghai frowned. The chance should not be too great. He is the mother of the great prince and the great princess. The emperor should consider for his heir. But on second thought, mu Langhua also has Prince Meng Xing building nearby, and he may not have escaped the killing. She thought she had entered the harem. It's nothing more than intrigue with concubines. I didn't expect that there would be worries about the lives of people next to me.

Luo Ninghai pondered. Asked the maid at the gate of the palace, "have you seen Xiao Yi these days?"

The palace maid naturally knew who she was talking about and answered truthfully, "No. I haven't seen her since concubine Chen left."

Luo Ninghai was stunned. "Why haven't you seen it? Are you sure you haven't seen it?"

"No. the maidservant is aunt Xiao Yi who knows Donghua palace. She hasn't been here for a long time."

Luo Ninghai thought for a moment. After su Rushuang succeeded in Zhaoyun hall, Xiao Yi ran over and told her. She never came again. Should there be too much movement and asked Su Rushuang to find her trace and kill her at will.

Meng jou Chia suddenly jumped up to her knees, "concubine, I've seen sister Xiaoyi."

Luo Ninghai was startled by her, hurriedly covered his chest and asked, "when have you seen it?"

"I just saw it. When I went to Zhaoyun hall."

Luo Ninghai opened his eyes. "When have you been to Zhaoyun hall? This hall doesn't know."

"I've been there," Meng jou Chia lowered her head somewhat guilty. "I'm afraid my mother will scold me, so I don't dare to tell her."

Luo Ninghai looked at her embarrassed appearance and couldn't bear to be more critical. He asked patiently, "when did you go and who took you?"

Meng jou Chia pointed to a maid who was coming out of the back hall holding a vase. "She took me to Princess Chen. I saw her talking to sister Xiaoyi."

Luo Ninghai narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Did you see imperial concubine Chen when you went to Zhaoyun hall?"

Meng jou Chia shook her head. "I didn't see imperial concubine Chen, nor did I see Yanqi's brother. Only sister ronghua accompanied me to make a snowman."

"Xue ronghua?" Luo Ninghai's heart stagnated. "It's Xue ronghua who took you to make a snowman outside. Didn't you go into the palace?"

"No, I've been playing outside with my sister. The maid of the mother's imperial concubine is talking to sister Xiaoyi outside the palace," Meng jou Chia pouted. "The maid and sister Xiaoyi took me away after they finished talking. I haven't had enough."

Luo Ninghai's lips pursed into a line, and a trace of evil flashed through the bottom of her eyes. She bent her lips and said, "jou Chia, go and find the palace maid. The mother imperial concubine wants to talk to her."

It was afternoon after Chu Zongge met Meng Qianchong. He came out of his study and walked along the goose intestine path. Most of the snow in the imperial garden melted. The fresh water vapor was dense in the air. There was no cloud in the blue sky. The sun fell on the flat grass. The spring of Qi was coming soon.

"Madam, it's the coldest time when the snow melts. Winter hasn't passed yet. You should take care of your body."

A pleasant female voice smiled and said, "the sun is so good. It's boring to be in Shuyu hall. It's better to come out for a walk."

"The empress, slow down. Don't step on the snow and water and slip. Otherwise, the emperor will punish the slaves."

The female voice said with a smile, "don't be too nervous. When I was in Xirong, climbing trees and fishing made me fall where I took these steps."

Chu Zongge's heart moved. He was the person from Xirong, that is, Shen beauty Shen lvxiu, as Xue ronghua said. He looked back at the bamboo forest behind him. If he met his concubines here, everyone would be embarrassed and impolite. He quickly stepped back and was ready to find an opportunity to avoid the encounter.

"Which Prince is over there."

The Shen beauty seemed to be aware of her existence. Listening to the footsteps approaching step by step, Chu Zongge had to turn around and calmly salute, "the envoy took Wang Chu Zongge and paid a visit to Shen beauty."

Shen lvxiu was stunned, bit his lips and asked, "envoy? Aren't you the envoy of the state of Qin?"

Chu Zongge lowered his eyes and said, "yes, the envoy just paid a visit to the emperor. His way here has ruined my lady's elegance. Please forgive me."

Shen lvxiu looked at his clothes. Sure enough, it was the dress of the state of Qin. He asked, "how do you know I'm beauty Shen?"

"I just heard from my mother that I was in Xirong. I think there is only one beauty Shen who can play flute in the palace. So I dare to guess."

"You have clear ears and clear eyes," said Shen lvxiu with a smile. "Aren't you the real brother of empress Chen?"

"I am."

Shen lvxiu sighed sadly, "it's a pity that Princess Chen died just after Duan Wang came to the state of Qi. Please accept Duan Wang's sorrow."

Chu Zongge curved his lips. He and Xie Yingmei just knew each other and didn't know each other very well. When he heard the news of her death, he was just sorry, "thank you, madam."

Chu Zongge raised his head and smiled at beauty Shen. The whole person was stunned in the room of lightning and flint. Beauty Shen was dressed in a yellow willow and flowered dress. Her twisted lotus bun was obliquely inserted with a tourmaline inlaid with South Pearl, with bright lips and teeth. A pair of affectionate eyes seemed to look into people's hearts.

This... Why is beauty Shen like biyou. Chu Zongge only felt nervous in his heart and said with a smile, "is your mother from Xirong?"

"Yes," said Shen lvxiu with a smile, "my father is from Xirong and my mother is from Qi. In the final analysis, I also have a part of Qi blood."

Chu Zongge was still stunned. He wanted to ask her if she had another name, or what experience she had when she was in Xirong, but after all, she was Meng Qianchong's concubine. As an envoy, he couldn't break the rules.

"Duan Wang?" Shen lvxiu said with a smile, "what do you always stare at me? Is there something on my face?"

Chu Zongge was stunned and quickly put away his speculative eyes. "My mother forgives me. I've been to Xirong before. I just think my mother should be the most beautiful woman in Xirong."

Shen lvxiu liked the compliment very much and said with a smile, "Duanwang's speech is really nice. No wonder Princess Chen is very kind to people."

Chu Zongge looked at her face with complicated eyes. He thought it was better to talk about it and listen to ronghua. He quickly bowed and said, "madam, I don't want to stay in the palace for a long time. Please allow me to leave by myself."

Shen lvxiu smiled and said, "then you go first. It's time for me to go back to the Shuyu hall."

Chu Zongge took a few steps with worry, and couldn't help looking back, but he found that beauty Shen was more and more overlapped with biyou in his memory. He scratched his head distractedly. Was it because he was homesick and kind, so he couldn't help remembering the past, so that when he met people in Xirong, he recognized it as biyou?

Luo Ninghai blew the nail cap inlaid with a rhinestone, turned his head and asked, "has the maid handled it?"

The palace man nodded and said, "it's done according to your mother's wishes."

"What did she spit out?"

"The maid said Xiao Yi asked her to take the princess to Zhaoyun hall. Then Xiao Yi gave her the silver soon after they entered the palace, and then the maid brought the princess back."

Luo Ninghai stared at her and said impatiently, "what are you talking about? Don't our palace know this time? Since our palace can ask, what do you want to do?"

The palace man quickly knelt on the ground and said cautiously, "madam, the palace maid broke her teeth. She really said these things."

Luo Ninghai frowned and whispered, "did you go to inquire about the situation in Huayang palace?"

"I've inquired. The female official named Xiao Yi has disappeared," the palace man paused. "But before Xiao Yi disappeared, he went to a remote bedroom."

"She's not a concubine. What are you doing in the bedroom? Will the emperor favor her?" Luo Ninghai's heart stagnated. She frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "why does the palace maid listen to Xiao Yi's words like this? Isn't she afraid that the palace will kill her after she finds it?"

The palace man turned his eyes and said, "Xiao Yi seems to have said that he wants the palace girl to prosper. I don't know how, that's it."

"Become prosperous?" Luo Ninghai pondered and wondered, "is that maid dead or alive now?"

"There's still a breath. Is the mother going to see her and ask some questions?"

"No need," Luo Ninghai waved. "You go to investigate the background of Xiao Yi's mother's house and be sure to present the evidence in black and white."

The palace man wondered, "doesn't the empress already know that Xiao Yi is the daughter of a traitor? Why do you want a slave to investigate?"

"It's no use for the palace to know. It's only when the emperor knows," Luo Ninghai took off the armor on his finger and said in a deep voice, "it's better for the emperor to know in front of the imperial concubine."

The Penglai hall was brightly lit, and the table covered with bright red tablecloth was full of various delicacies. Zhuang Youyi picked up the wine pot, poured a cup and pushed it to the people next to her.

Jiang Jinwen looked at the red candle in the center of the table in a trance. She couldn't react at once. She almost turned over the wine glass. The wine wet her sleeves and fainted from boiling water stains.

Yinyin hurriedly came over and picked up the wine glass with a handkerchief. She whispered in her ear, "madam, are you all right?"

Jiang Jinwen raised her eyes and said, "I'm fine, and I don't get much wet."

Zhuang Youyi looked at her strangely. "What's the matter with you? You've been restless lately. Is something wrong?"

Yin Yin pursed her lips and decided to say the entanglement for her mother, "empress Qi, the emperor hasn't been to our mother's palace for so long."

Zhuang Youyi stared in surprise, "how is it possible? How can I hear that the emperor is going to promote minjieyu to minfei? Why haven't I even had a bed?"
