The imperial edict stated that her father had been dismissed and investigated for buying and selling official positions.

According to the emperor's decree, he was demoted to Jingzhou, the most remote place in the Qin Dynasty.

What's going on?She looked up and asked with her eyes.

How could her father be involved in buying and selling official positions?
Concubine Lian snatched the imperial edict from Jiang Lan and put it away. She had stolen it from the imperial study, so she had to return it quietly later?
"Actually, I have some guesses about this matter. The person who really bought and sold official positions actually had nothing to do with your father. But the bad thing is that someone wanted to get rid of this crime, so they put the evidence in your Shangshu Mansion. …”

"Who is it? Who framed my father?" Jiang Lan stood up hastily. She didn't even cry out in pain when her thigh was touched by the corner of the table.

"Who do you think is the biggest beneficiary of your family's disaster?" Concubine Lian guided her.

Jiang Lan was not a dull person. She figured it out immediately, "You mean the Hua family?"

Concubine Lian explained, "Actually, this matter does have some indirect relationship with the Hua family. The official who bought and sold official positions was once a disciple of Huatang. It is not difficult to imagine who is the mastermind of this matter. Taking advantage of you losing power, They then shifted the blame for this crime to your Shangshu Mansion..."

"...Did you know? At first, the emperor wanted to kill you nine tribes. If my grandfather and Mr. Qin hadn't begged the emperor for mercy, all 170 members of your Shangshu Mansion would have been killed by now."

This was something Concubine Lian couldn't understand. This bitch almost caused her to be punished by the emperor before, but now her grandfather actually interceded for them.

She just couldn't stand her grandfather's behavior, so she took the risk and stole the imperial edict to come here. She just wanted to see Jiang Lan's loveless look and relieve her hatred!
Jiang Lan looked dull and was speechless for a long time.

why?
"Where is the Fourth Prince? What did he do?" Jiang Lan did not believe that Xuanyuan Jin would watch the fall of their Shangshu Mansion.

"Oh, what do you think he can do for you? What can he want from you? You must know that Huatang is his future father-in-law, Xuanyuan Jin will never let anything go wrong in the Hua family! You are different, You are a chess piece that Xuanyuan Jin can abandon at any time."

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense. He said he would take me away. He said he would only love me in this life..." Jiang Lan retorted loudly.

Moreover, they have children.

"Hehehehe... Lian Fei laughed so hard, "I only love you. Do you believe this lie?I said you are a grown-up, why are you so easily deceived? "

She doesn't even believe it!

"He won't lie to me!"

Her belief in Xuanyuan Jin was shaken for some reason, but she was still unforgiving, "On the contrary, it's you. These are court affairs. How could you, a woman, know so much..."

Since ancient times, the harem was not allowed to interfere with the government's affairs, and this was a taboo for Concubine Lian.

Perhaps because of her excitement, she couldn't help but cover her chest and let out a burst of retching.

"vomit……"

Concubine Lian took two steps back and frowned, "You...you don't have it, do you?"

Is it the emperor's or Xuanyuan Jin's!
Does the Queen know that this meal will be her last meal?
Somehow, Concubine Lian felt unbearable at this moment.

From a noble concubine to an abandoned wife in the cold palace, the persecution of the queen, the abandonment of the beloved, the exile of the family, and the children who should not have come...

"Don't worry about it." Jiang Lan wiped her mouth and replied calmly.

Concubine Lian glanced at her belly without trace, and then at the food on the table, "Jiang Lan, you and I have been fighting for more than ten years, and neither of us has won. As an opponent, I remind you that there are some things you can say. , but you can’t eat some food indiscriminately, just do it yourself!”

That's all, I'm still soft-hearted after all, that's all I can warn Jiang Lan, let her do the rest!

After saying that, she waved her sleeves and left!

Jiang Lan caressed her belly unconsciously, did Concubine Lian know?What did she mean?
Looking at the table of food, I suddenly felt uneasy.

Is it...

After a long time, she picked up the plate of sauce-flavored pork ribs, placed it in the corner, and waited quietly.

Soon, a nimble mouse ran over. This time she didn't scare it, she just sat at the table and watched.The mouse came here because of the smell. When it ate this delicious food for the first time, it forgot about the danger and ate happily.

Jiang Lan watched for a long time, and then she smiled after eating the mouse until her belly was bulging. How could she lose her trust in Xuanyuan Jin after being instigated by Concubine Lian.

Concubine Lian is her mortal enemy, and their fight for favor does not last for a day or two. It would not be in line with that person's style not to attack her at this time.

Just when she let down her guard, grabbed a piece of shrimp dumpling with her chopsticks, and was about to eat it, her movements suddenly stopped...

My heart sank inch by inch at this moment.

In front of her eyes was the rat's constantly turning body, and in her ears was its chirping roar. For a moment, she even felt that the rat was looking at her questioningly.

pat-

The shrimp dumplings fell on the table and bounced to the ground, covered in dust, just like her mood at the moment.

I remember Xuanyuan Jin said: Tonight, I will prepare some food for you, mother and son, to replenish it and save energy for tonight's escape...

Concubine Lian said: You don’t think that the Fourth Prince will take you away, do you? Stop dreaming!Don’t even look at what kind of virtue you have now!
She turned her head mechanically and found the mirror she had just placed on the wooden bed.

He took a photo of his face.

Indeed, the woman in the mirror was ugly, old, and slovenly. When she raised her hand and smelled it, she indeed smelled bad.

No wonder Xuanyuan Jin didn't want to be intimate with her these two times when he came. No wonder he always looked at her with that evasive look.

He really disliked himself.

So is the feast tonight Xuanyuan Jin’s idea, or is it the Queen’s idea?
In her subjective consciousness, she would rather believe that this was the Queen's instruction. That woman was inherently narrow-minded.

She tried her best to convince herself that she should believe Xuanyuan Jin.

……

Along the way, Hua Jianli had learned about the situation in Shangshu Mansion from Qin Changge.

As Qin Changge said, it was impossible for Shangshu to do such a thing, and he was still at the cusp of the storm.

As they talked, the two came outside the imperial study room.

Very strange!The emperor is not here today?
There is no one guarding the imperial study room.

Just when Qin Changge was looking for someone to invite the emperor, there was a slight noise inside.

Bang bang...

The two looked at each other, and Qin Changge kicked open the door. With sharp eyes, they saw a figure standing next to the cabinet in the imperial study. They didn't know if he was stealing something or doing something else.
The man noticed that he had no time to put down the objects in his hands and was about to leave through the side door.

But she was no match for Qin Changge. Qin Changge flew forward and grabbed her as she took steps forward.

The man suddenly screamed in pain, "Ah, let me go, it hurts..."

"Who are you?" Qin Changge asked coldly.

"Presumptuous!" she shouted, "Who do you think I am?"

At this time, the candle was lit by Hua Jianli.

"Concubine Lian!" they both said in unison.
