Since the day Concubine Lan hit, she paid attention to the East Palace, but the people in the East Palace were loyal to the prince, and it was not easy for her to buy it.

In order to be afraid that the prince would come to fool the emperor by making a fake, she also found an opportunity to see Bai Qianfan from a distance and recognize her appearance clearly, so as not to be tricked by the prince.

It didn't take long for her to finally wait for a good time, pestering the emperor to accompany her to the pagoda, worshipping the gods and Buddhas inside, and passing by the East Palace when she came out, she slowed down, sniffed her nose, and looked around, "What is so fragrant?" ”

The emperor replied slowly, "Probably the plum blossoms in the East Palace have bloomed." ”

Concubine Lan stopped, looked at the East Palace close at hand, and pulled the emperor's sleeve, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go and see." ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Lan's eyes, like a child, a little funny, "What's so difficult about this, if you want to see it, just go in." ”

Concubine Lan smiled coquettishly, took the emperor's hand, and the emperor held it hard and stepped into the East Palace.

When the head of the East Palace saw the emperor coming, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, and the emperor asked, "What about the prince?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone down to the room, and the servant will send someone to ask His Highness to come back."

The emperor waved his hand, "No, I didn't come to him originally, Concubine Lan wanted to enjoy the plum, I took her to take a look." ”

The manager immediately got up and led the way in front, bowed down and smiled, "This year's plum blossoms are blooming well, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said yesterday that he wanted to invite His Majesty and Concubine Lan to come over to enjoy the plum blossoms." ”

Concubine Lan pulled the corners of her lips with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart." ”

The group was heading to the apse, and Concubine Lan saw a big drum under the porch and asked, "What is that?" ”

The steward replied, "Sheepskin drums." ”

"The palace knows that it is a sheepskin drum," Concubine Lan asked, "why is it there?" But is anyone beating the drum? ”

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's guest, Mr. Qian, who is beating the drum here."

Lan Feidai raised her eyebrows slightly, "I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a distinguished guest here, his original surname is Qian, I don't know that Mr. Qian is in the palace, His Majesty wants to meet him." ”

The emperor frowned almost imperceptibly, and he realized that Concubine Lan came in to enjoy the plum blossoms was fake, and let him see that this Mr. Qian was real. It was already fine, but Concubine Lan provoked the incident again, he was a little unhappy, but his face did not show any displeasure.

"It's really not a coincidence," said the steward, "that Mr. Qian is out of the palace today. ”

Concubine Lan snorted coldly, "Really? Are you sure Mr. Qian is out of the palace? "Obviously, Mr. Qian didn't even go out of the gate of the East Palace.

"Slave sure."

"To tell a lie in front of His Majesty is to commit the crime of deceiving the king."

"The slave didn't dare, but Mr. Qian did go out of the palace."

"This is a coincidence, why every time His Majesty wants to summon Mr. Qian, he goes out of the palace?"

"This," the manager looked embarrassed, "it's a coincidence, and the minions don't know ......"

Concubine Lan's face was uncertain, and she suddenly walked into the hall quickly, "This palace wants to see if Mr. Qian is deliberately hiding from His Majesty." ”

The emperor didn't have time to stop her, so he had to follow, just such a baby bump, knowing that she was making a temperament, he had no choice but to go with her, since she had to carry the black pot to Mr. Qian, so she relied on her.

In the inner hall, the prince broke in sweating profusely and said to Bai Qianfan, "Come with Gu, Your Majesty is here." ”

Bai Qianfan was a little strange, "Why do you want to go, can't I see Your Majesty?" ”

The prince didn't have time to explain, "I'll talk to Mr. in detail later, avoid it first, it's too late." ”

Bai Qianfan has known the prince for so long, and it was the first time she saw such a nervous expression on his face, she didn't ask much, and immediately followed the prince from the side door on the right, passed through a narrow corridor, and entered a room like a study, the prince took over the mechanism on the Bogu shelf, and the huge portrait on the wall was moved to the side, revealing a black hole door, the prince went in first, Bai Qianfan and Ning Shisan followed, and walked not far to the stairs down, although it was underground, the light was not dim, The arm-thick white candle burned silently on the candlestick, illuminating the chamber as if it were day.

There are desks, circle chairs, large wooden boxes, Bogu shelves, all carved sandalwood furniture, the faint fragrance floating in the air, elegant and mysterious.

"Mr. stays here for a while, His Majesty is gone, and Lone will come to call Sir."

Bai Qianfan stopped him, "Your Highness, you haven't said it yet, why can't the villain see the emperor?" ”

"Hai Motu broke his arm and leg, Mr. knows, Hai Motu had a conflict with Mr. in the ranch last time, Concubine Lan suspected that Mr. was related to Hai Motu's injury, and sued in front of the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor is here to ask the teacher."

Bai Qianfan said, "The villain has been staying in the East Palace these days, His Royal Highness can testify." ”

"Mr. doesn't know, Concubine Lan is extremely favored, the emperor obeys Concubine Lan's words, if she wants Mr.'s life, the emperor is afraid that he will agree."

Bai Qianfan was angry for a while, and he spoke thoughtlessly, "Isn't that a faint king?" ”

The prince's face sank, "Sir, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

Bai Qianfan shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak again.

When the prince left, she walked around the secret room and said to Ning Shisan, "Why do people in the palace like to get a secret room, Nanyuan is also in our palace in Dongyue." ”

Even if Ning Shisan knew the answer, it was hard to say, and he was expressionless.

Bai Qianfan asked himself, "Of course, it is to save his life, the palace is heavily guarded, it is the most impregnable place in the world, but it is also the most dangerous place, and the kings are also afraid of death." ”

She stood with her hands in her hands, looking at the landscape paintings on the wall, the distant mountains are like daisies, the green water flows for a long time, and suddenly reached out and poked at the painting, which was a finger-sized seal, not obvious, she stood just where she could see the difference between light and shadow, the seal was slightly darker than the surroundings, as if it had been worn out, and it could not be seen if it was not looked carefully.

But a strange thing happened, as soon as she pressed it, a portrait suddenly fell from above, slowly unfolded, and a beautiful woman with outstanding demeanor appeared in front of her.

Bai Qianfan's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he was speechless for a while.

When Ning 13 saw the person on the painting, an incredible expression appeared on his face, which had always been calm.

"Is this a mother?"

Bai Qianfan thought it was her at first, but after a closer look, the person in the portrait only looked like her, but not her. Although her face looked similar, she never had the charm of the beauty in her paintings.

However, the beauty on the portrait made her feel inexplicably familiar, and a face gradually appeared in her mind, although when she first saw the empress, the empress was no longer as young as the beauty in the painting, but the charm in her bones has not changed at all.

She said, "It's not me, it's the Empress of Nanyuan." ”
