queen and pro

Chapter 11

"Miss, are we going back to the palace?" Under Lan Qin's strong request, Xiao Tao finally changed her mind.

"No, go to the Lan Mansion." Back at the palace, Lan Qin definitely didn't want to for the time being, and then realized that she had nowhere to go except the palace, but suddenly she remembered that the mansion of the Lan family didn't seem to be for sale, why don't you go there and have a look? , maybe you can find some clues.Now this young lady of the Lan family is a mystery all over her body. Suddenly someone wants to kill her, causing a false appearance of suicide, and then a mysterious first love emerges.

"Okay." Although Xiaotao was full of doubts, but since the young lady woke up from her suicide attempt, she seemed to be a different person. She could no longer guess her thoughts, so she should be obedient.

The carriage circled more than half a circle in the city, and finally stopped outside a quaint mansion.

After getting out of the carriage, Lan Qin realized that the door of the house was locked.

"Do you have a key?" Lan Qin turned around and asked Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao shook her head blankly.

Lan Qin didn't speak, and walked slowly around the wall of Lan Mansion.

After walking about tens of meters, I turned a corner and entered a small alley, and there was a towering old tree beside the alley.

Lanqin was overjoyed and hurriedly called Xiaotao.

"Let's climb up from here." The old tree happened to hang down into the courtyard one by one.

"Miss, this, this can't be done!" Xiaotao waved her hands quickly, how can a young lady climb a tree, let alone this is a queen of a country.

"If you don't want to climb, then stay here!" Lan Qin glanced at her, rolled up his sleeves, hugged the tree trunk, and climbed up. Fortunately, although women in this era wear skirts on the outside, they still wear skirts on the inside. There is also a pair of pants, not afraid of exposure.

Xiaotao stomped her feet and had no choice but to climb up.

The two finally climbed up a tree branch more than ten feet high.

"Miss, how do we go down?" Xiaotao looked down twice in fear, her feet trembling constantly.

"Grab the branches and slide down." As soon as Lan Qin finished speaking, she tore off a section of her skirt, wrapped her palms, grabbed the hanging branches and slid down.Seeing this, Xiaotao had no choice but to follow the gourd and slide to the ground.

"Oh my God, miss, it's so scary!" Xiaotao gasped heavily and said with lingering fear.

Lan Qin took a deep look at her, turned around and walked towards the yard without saying a word.

The Blue Mansion is not small, but as a prime minister with a man under one man and over ten thousand people, this mansion is simply not commensurate with his status.In addition, the decoration of the Lan Mansion is also very rough and simple, just like ordinary wealthy people's houses. Is this because there is no hostess?Lan Qin guessed in her heart.

"Xiao Tao, do you know my mother's name?" It was only then that Lan Qin realized that he knew very little about the parents of this body.

"Xiao Tao doesn't know, when the servant girl comes to the mansion, the madam will not be there." Xiao Tao shook her head.

"Oh, then my father has never been married, nor has he asked for a concubine?" How can a majestic prime minister only have her as a daughter? Don't want a son?
"No, I heard from the old mother in the mansion that the master and his wife are deeply in love, so after the wife passed away, the master never thought of marrying again, and he didn't even have a concubine." Xiaotao said with bright eyes, the master What a model of a good man, if only she could meet such a dedicated man.

"Hmph!" Lan Qin snorted, she could believe a man's words and a sow could climb a tree. From her point of view, this master Lan was also a person who was haunted by secrets.Could it be that he can't do it?A bold idea slipped through Lan Qin's mind, and she quickly dismissed it. If he can't do it, where did Lan Qin'er come from?
"Miss, this is the master's study." Just when Lan Qin was thinking wildly, Xiao Tao's voice called her back.

"Okay, you stay on guard outside, I'll go in and take a look." The study room was unlocked, and Lan Qin pushed open the door.

The room is very tidy and filled with all kinds of books.

Lan Qin took a few books and flipped through them. They were all poetry collections of some literati, and some of them also had some histories. There was nothing unusual about them.

Finally, she walked to Prime Minister Lan's mahogany desk, on which there was a black inkstone, a row of writing brushes beside it, and a few books on the right, and nothing else.

Lan Qin turned to the teacher's chair and sat down, imagining how this old master Lan usually looks like working here, putting his fingers on the table and tapping lightly, his head slightly tilted back, and the weight of his whole body on the back of the chair Suddenly, the chair slipped, and Lan Qin almost fell to the ground. She grabbed the inkstone with her hands resting on the table in a panic, and found that the inkstone was movable. made a small grid.

"Miss, miss, how are you?" Xiao Tao outside the door yelled anxiously when she heard the noise inside the house.

"I'm fine." Lan Qin stared at the door, saw that Xiao Tao hadn't come in, then carefully reached into the grid, and took out a soft thing wrapped in black cloth.

Lan Qin slowly opened the cloth towel, inside was a mass of black hair, she unfolded it gently, it turned out to be a fake beard.

In the middle of the night, Daqi Palace is brightly lit
"Your Majesty, I have searched the entire palace but have not found the empress!" The eunuch said tremblingly as he prostrated himself on the ground with trembling legs.

"Trash, idiots, you can't even find a weak woman, what use are you for!" Qi Tianyu grabbed the porcelain cup on the table and threw it on the ground.

There was silence in the hall for a while, the eunuchs and maids were trembling with fright, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, General Li begs to see you!" Li Dacheng's arrival instantly made these people heave a sigh of relief.

"Xuan!" What is he doing here?
"See the emperor. I have something to report. The guard guarding the gate of the palace came to report. Today at noon, the queen's personal maid, Xiaotao, took a new maid out of the palace. I suspect that the young maid is the queen." Your Majesty." Li Dacheng knelt on the ground and expressed his guess.

Qi Tianyu kept his hands behind his back and kept silent, no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, he turned his head and said to Li Dacheng who was still kneeling on the ground: "Decree to seal the gate of the city, send plainclothes to search in the city, we must find the queen!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Miss, do you still want to put on powder?" In the morning, there were only two masters and servants left in the Lan Mansion, Xiao Tao asked while combing Lan Qin's hair while looking at the left side of her face.

"Wipe!" It's strange not to scare the children if you don't wipe it out!
"Oh." Xiaotao picked up the rouge and gently applied it evenly on Lanqin's face. While applying it, she felt sorry in her heart. It would be great if the lady didn't suffer from that illness. With this flowery and jade-like face It will be able to fascinate the emperor, so that there is no need to go to a foreign country to make friends.
