Chapter 293 Conspiracy
In the afternoon, Ruan Xiyue was declared into the palace by the people in the palace, and when she came to the Chonghua Hall, Ruan Xiyue waited for a long time before she saw the concubine Xian walking slowly.

"I slept for a while, I didn't expect to forget the time, I've been waiting for a long time." Saying this, Concubine Xian smiled faintly.

Although her expression was gentle, Ruan Xiyue didn't see any warmth from her gaze, she immediately got up and saluted, and said: "Mother and concubine let my daughter-in-law into the palace, why?"

Seeing Ruan Xiyue's modest appearance at this time, Concubine Xian subconsciously glanced at Ruan Xiyue's lower abdomen, then half-closed her eyes and said, "How old is this child?"

"It's been about three months, but the stomach is not very conspicuous." As long as she talked about the child, Ruan Xiyue always looked gentle.

Concubine Xian Jiang saw his expression in his eyes, and after a long time, he said solemnly: "I asked you to come, but I just want to tell you something. After all, you are a mother now. It's impossible for you to leave Ah Lian, right?"

This sentence made Ruan Xiyue a little suspicious, but she seemed to have understood the meaning of Concubine Xian, and immediately lowered her eyes to play chess, and said in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law will take good care of the child and the prince, they are my most important people .”

"Ruan Xiyue, today I might as well just say it straight, even if you give birth to a child, I will not accept you and that child." After saying that, he curled his lips lightly, looked at Ruan Xiyue, and said: " Do you know why this is?"

After hearing this sentence, Ruan Xiyue was not surprised at all, but her expression became calmer, and then she said calmly: "Is the concubine mother hating me?"

"That's right, I said before that I would not accept a scheming woman as my daughter-in-law, so you don't want to think about it in your life." Saying that, she glanced at Ruan Xiyue deeply.

At this moment, Ruan Xiyue indifferently withdrew her gaze, and under the gaze of Concubine Xian, she said softly: "Then what is the reason why the concubine mother asked her daughter-in-law to come here today?" Is it really that simple?

Sure enough, Concubine Xian laughed, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the canary jumping around in the cage, and said in a low voice: "This person, he can never lose his guard. If you are on guard, you don’t even know how you died.”

Now Ruan Xiyue finally understands, is what the concubine Xian said about her being poisoned?Thinking of this, she suppressed her expression, and then said softly: "Thank you, Concubine, for your reminder, Yue'er."

"Okay, let's go..."

Ruan Xiyue took two steps, turned back, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, do you know about the deaths of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Is there anything strange about this?"

"I don't know much about this matter. What I can tell you is that they were all killed by the same person. The killer's martial arts are so high, you may be able to get a similar look?" As he spoke, he glanced at Ruan Xiyue contemptuously. It was determined that Ruan Xiyue could not find out the truth.

"Thank you, Concubine Mu." After saying that, Ruan Xiyue left.

After walking out of the Chonghua Palace, Ruan Xiyue always felt very strange in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that this incident was not an ordinary vendetta, but rather like silence. Could it be that the dead knew something?

When he walked past the East Palace, he saw Gu Yuhong who was flying a kite with Qin Yuyan, and Gu Yuhong was also taken aback when he saw Ruan Xiyue, his eyes were a bit complicated, but he quickly retracted himself look, as if he didn't see Ruan Xiyue.

"Your Highness's kite flying is really good." Qin Yuyan said in a gentle voice.

Gu Yuhong smiled faintly: "When you give birth to the child, you can go to fly the kite." There was tenderness that he couldn't hide while speaking.

Qin Yuyan lowered her eyes to play chess, and then she said shyly: "Yuyan knows, she will definitely take care of the little prince in her stomach."

Is Qin Yuyan pregnant too?Ruan Xiyue couldn't help frowning, how could it be so fast?Thinking about it, she sighed, if it continues like this, it will not be long before the palace changes, what should I do then?

As if seeing Ruan Xiyue just now, Qin Yuyan smiled and said, "Isn't this sister Yue'er? Since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave, why don't you come and have a cup of tea together?"

She has already said that, can Ruan Xiyue still refuse?Thinking about it, he smiled faintly, and then said seriously: "I have seen the crown princess, Your Highness the crown prince."

"You and I have always been called sisters, why are you so unfamiliar now?" As she spoke, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Ruan Xiyue was also stunned when she heard this sentence, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Yuhong, while Gu Yuhong looked indifferent, and didn't know what was going on in her heart.

Sitting at the table, Luxiu also walked over slowly, opened the box, and said, "Your Majesty, the chilled cherries are delicious. Looking at your Majesty, I feel very sick. These cherries are also sour. My Majesty must be sour." Will like to eat."

"Sister Yue'er, you should try it too, now you and I are both pregnant." Qin Yuyan said softly.

Ruan Xiyue saw that the cherries were delicious, so she immediately picked one up and put it in her mouth. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said, "It's really good. I didn't expect my sister to be so sick? I don't know how long I've been pregnant. ?”

"It's been two months." Qin Yuyan said with a smile, and then subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen with a soft look on her face.

And Ruan Xiyue glanced at her lower abdomen, but she didn't find anything wrong. The two of them talked a few words, but they were about irrelevant topics.

At this time, Liu Qing, the prince's guard, came over, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, there is news."

"Let's talk..." Gu Yuhong sat down at the table in light robes, and filled himself with a cup of tea.

After hearing the words, Liu Qing glanced at Ruan Xiyue subconsciously, and seeing that Gu Yuhong had no objection, she raised her eyes and said, "Wu Zuo found this thing on the body of the minister of punishment."

This case is not being investigated alone, why does the crown prince want to intervene in this matter?Thinking about it, Ruan Xiyue became suspicious.Immediately, he took a sip of tea, and used the movement of drinking tea to hide his expression.

Gu Yuhong looked at the sword tassel in his hand, and couldn't help frowning: "This sword tassel is not a totem weaved by Zhou, but something from the previous dynasty."

"That must have been left by the murderer." Liu Qing said seriously.

Gu Yuhong did not deny this point, he let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "This Mr. Yang had a good relationship with me before his death. I will definitely investigate his death."

It turned out that the prince wanted to intervene in this matter because he was good friends with the minister of punishment?Thinking of this, Ruan Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that everything is not as she thought, otherwise things will become more and more complicated.

"Your Highness, is this sword spike really from the previous dynasty?" Ruan Xiyue became suspicious.

Gu Yuhong frowned slightly, and under Ruan Xiyue's gaze, he said solemnly: "Yes, this is indeed something from the previous dynasty. In this way, it should be that the remnants of the previous dynasty have not given up and want to kill The pillars of our state of Zhou, so that our people's hearts will not be stable."

After hearing these words, Ruan Xiyue became a little bit interested, and immediately frowned slightly, and then said softly: "Then what does His Highness mean, is that you already have an idea, or do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Since the seventh brother is responsible for this matter, it is not good for me to intervene, so I will go back and explain this matter to the father, and ask the father to allow me to investigate this matter with the seventh brother."

After hearing the words, Ruan Xiyue hummed softly, since the crown prince has already said so, can she still say no?
After leaving the East Palace, Ruan Xiyue had a complicated expression on her face, Xuemei couldn't help but said, "What does His Highness the Crown Prince mean? Why do you want to meddle in the affairs of Prince Yu's Palace?"

Ruan Xiyue didn't know about this, so she breathed out slowly, and said with a stern look: "Since the matter has already happened, one more investigation is good, isn't it?"

"It's true, our lord can save a lot of trouble..." After speaking, he smiled and walked beside Ruan Xiyue.

After leaving the palace, Ruan Xiyue met Gu Yuxian on the way. When Gu Yuxian saw Ruan Xiyue, he had a gentle face: "Yue'er, why are you here?"

"My concubine asked me to enter the palace to talk just now, and you, why are you also in the palace, we didn't meet each other." Ruan Xiyue said softly.

Gu Yuxie let out a sigh of relief slowly: "I think you already know about the case, my father asked me to investigate this matter, so I searched for evidence in the palace, but I didn't find any useful clues."

Hearing this, Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said softly: "This...isn't a big problem, after all, if there are no clues, the matter will become more complicated."

After returning, Ruan Xiyue thought about what happened in the palace, and said seriously: "When I was in the East Palace, the crown prince should go to the emperor to take over this case. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Gu Yuxie frowned slightly, and under Ruan Xiyue's gaze, asked suspiciously: "You mean, elder brother wants to intervene in this case, why?"

"The prince said that it was because Mr. Yang, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and him are good friends. As far as I know, the two of them do have some friendship, but the dignified prince, why do you want to intervene in this kind of thing?" This made Ruan Xiyue feel very strange.

Seeing Ruan Xiyue's suspicious look, Gu Yubite curled up his lips slightly, and after a while, he continued: "This is really interesting, since elder brother wants to intervene, then let him do as he pleases, I want to see if he can Find out what."
