famous concubine

Chapter 269
Aunt Shen was watching, and couldn't help but her heart trembled. She glanced at the Queen Mother, and asked slowly and cautiously: "Queen Mother, are you... all right?"

"The Ai family thinks about it, but none of them... is willing to let the Ai family take care of it." The queen mother was extremely depressed, and sighed slowly: "You said, the Ai family has always loved Lan Ruo so much, and the Ai family has always thought that she is a smart girl." A sensible child, but she...how could she do such a thing, it really disappoints Aijia."

Aunt Shen quietly glanced at the spread out black cloth package, and said softly: "Queen Mother, the evidence of Mr. Bai may not be just..."

"You're wrong. Maybe it's not that Mo Bai doesn't have the most direct and powerful evidence. He just wanted to save the Ai family's face, so he didn't hand over the evidence to Dali Temple, but sent it to Luoxia Palace, the Ai family's hands." The Empress Dowager sighed deeply, her eyes flicked to those few plants of dried Phoenix Feathers of the Tang Dynasty. She remembered that Lan Ruo loved orchids very much, so she gave Lan Ruo a pot of Phoenix Feathers of the Tang Dynasty that Huainan Mansion paid tribute to last year.

This type... the queen mother closed her eyes, even if she wanted to deny it, she couldn't justify it for Leng Lanruo.

"Then what is the queen mother going to do?" Aunt Shen stared at the dried orchid, her heart tightened with inexplicable anxiety.

"It's a pity that she swore to Aijia that day, proving how innocent she was, or she revealed the matter of Mobai poisoning to Aijia. She didn't expect this to be done by herself. Alas, now, Aijia also has a headache That!"

Aunt Shen looked at the vicissitudes of the Empress Dowager's face, and the scene of Princess Youlan's visit to Luoxia Palace that day suddenly appeared in her mind.

She remembered that it was one afternoon, probably at the end of Shen Shi, Princess Youlan entered the Luoxia Palace with a hint of unhappiness and anxiety on her beautiful face.

Then, under the inquiry of the Queen Mother, Princess Youlan vaguely mentioned the matter of having lunch at Tianxiang Tower.

She remembered that the queen mother was very concerned about Princess Youlan at that time, and asked repeatedly what happened.

That day, the Empress Dowager looked at the girl with refined temperament and elegant demeanor, and asked with a light smile, "Lan Ruo, it seems that your complexion is not very good, so there must be some accident in Tianxiang Building, right?"

"Well, if anyone dares to bully you, you can tell my aunt, and my aunt will definitely seek justice for you."

"Auntie." Leng Lanruo glanced at the Queen Mother, with a slightly tearful expression on her face, but forced herself to smile, and said, "It's nothing, Lan Ruo just met His Highness Six and Shizi Bai in Tianxiang Tower."

"Oh? What a coincidence, you dined with them?"

"No, when Lan Ruo met them; the Oriental girl was with them."

The queen mother was puzzled, thought for a while, and asked, "Oriental girl? Which oriental girl?"

Leng Lanruo took a quick look at the queen mother, showed an elegant and perfect smile, and replied, "It's the second lady of the Dongfang Mansion."

The queen mother raised her eyebrows and looked at Leng Lanruo calmly. She knew that what happened next was the purpose of Leng Lanruo entering the palace to meet her today.

"When Lan Ruo met them, there was an accident. At that time, they were arguing with Miss Dongfang Wu on the stairs. At that time, for some reason, Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Wu and Bai Nihong suddenly jumped down from the stairs. fell down..."

"Fall from the stairs?" The queen mother raised her eyes to look at Leng Lanruo, her eyes were strange, and she bit the word heavily.

Seeing her expression, Leng Lanruo suddenly said: "Oh, my aunt may not have been to Tianxiang Tower, the stairs to the private room on the second floor are different from what we usually see, they are like a rope spinning round and round So at that time, the three of them fell directly from the railing of the stairs to the ground."

"Oh, that's how it is. This staircase is a bit special." The queen mother echoed, and then looked at Leng Lanruo, waiting for her next words.

"When they fell, Lan Ruo was below, so both of them were about to hit Lan Ruo. Fortunately, my maid reacted quickly and blocked Lan Ruo; when my cousin saw this... "When Leng Lanruo said this, a shy expression suddenly appeared on her face.

The queen mother saw her changes, but said calmly: "Oh, what did Yu'er do then?"

"At that time, my cousin and Bai Shizi were both on the stairs. Seeing the three of them falling down, I immediately jumped down from the stairs, trying to hold them back. However, Bai Shizi originally held Bai Nihong, but suddenly Let go again; then, Bai Shizi hugged Dongfang Yu."

"And my cousin saw that Bai Nihong was about to hit Lan Ruo, so when he landed, he pulled Lan Ruo a little. With him protecting her, Lan Ruo was only lightly rubbed."

The Queen Mother turned her eyes slightly, and exchanged a glance with Aunt Shen who was next to her, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Leng Lanruo said again: "Afterwards, my cousin comforted Lan Ruo a few words, and went upstairs with Bai Shizi and the others to have dinner in the private room; Lan Ruo later saw that everyone was fine, so she invited Miss Dongfang Wu together; Eldest lady, let her and the second Miss Dongfangyu live in harmony; later, she followed Lan Ruo's advice, poured the wine herself, and then went to Zhuyun, where Prince Bai and the others were, to apologize to the second Miss Dongfangyu."

"But later, something happened." When Leng Lanruo said this, a look of panic and sadness appeared on her face. She looked at the Queen Mother silently, and then choked up and said, "When Lan Ruo and Miss Bai are in Lanxuan, you can To testify to Miss Dongfang Wu that there is absolutely no poison in that glass of wine, because that glass of wine was poured out of the jug by the few of us watching Dongfang Wu, but..."

Leng Lanruo lowered her eyes and covered her face slightly, with pain and sadness in her brows.

When the queen mother saw it, she couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Lan Ruo, what happened afterwards? What poisonous wine? Didn't Dongfang Wu go to apologize to Dongfangyu? What happened?"

"Auntie, it's all Lan Ruo's fault. If Lan Ruo hadn't been troublesome and persuaded Miss Dongfang Wu to apologize, what happened later would not have happened."

Leng Lanruo looked sad, seeing the queen mother's heart sank, but asked more and more anxiously: "What's the matter?"

Leng Lanruo closed her eyes, shook her head lightly, and said slowly: "I don't know if the second Miss Dongfangyu accidentally protected me because she saw her cousin under the stairs, and she suddenly became angry with her cousin... Lan Ruo can't either I'm sure it's her or not, anyway, the glass of wine brought out by Miss Dongfang Wu ended up in Shizi Bai's hands after some twists and turns..."

"Then... when Lan Ruo wanted to go back to Lan Xuan from the lavatory, my cousin had already had people block Zhu Yun and Lan Xuan, saying that someone poisoned the wine, Prince Bai..."

The Empress Dowager's face turned cold, and her eyes became fierce: "Lan Ruo, you mean... Mo Bai was poisoned?"

Leng Lanruo nodded sadly, and sighed quietly: "Auntie, after Lan Ruo confirmed the matter, she found out that it was her cousin who sent Prince Bai into the palace. Lan Ruo was worried about him, so..."
