Chapter 276 I don't know how many people are involved in this
The Queen asked directly, in front of Tang Wanrou and Zhang Shuier.
Lu Xinran glanced at the two of them and wondered why she asked that.
The Tang family, the Zhang family, the two sisters and the queen seemed to be inseparable because of their marriage.
Song Junyan was the prince who held the greatest importance in the heart of the Queen... Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she wanted to test him for no apparent reason.
"Well, I just have some guesses that I want to verify, so I troubled my sister to accompany me on this trip."
"verify?"
A flash of doubt flashed across the queen's eyes, and then she looked at them with a smile.
"But did it work?"
"Not yet. I've run into some trouble."
Thinking of the booklet of Concubine Hua that was broken into 100,000 puzzle pieces, she felt a headache and wanted to hold her forehead and smile bitterly~
The Queen glanced at Lu Xinlan, who just shook her head slightly. Lu Xinlan already knew that the fact that others could hear her thoughts should not be known to too many people.
They didn't want to talk about it, so the queen didn't ask any more questions.
She summoned them to the palace today because Song Junyan sent someone to ask for help from her.
She didn't know who they wanted to investigate, but it was not convenient for them to tell her, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Zhang Shui'er always felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a little weird. She glanced back and forth between the Lu sisters and the queen, and finally secretly pulled Tang Wanrou's sleeve.
"Aunt, my sister-in-law and I haven't paid our respects to the Empress Dowager yet. Please talk to Lu Er and the others first, and we will go pay our respects first."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Tang Wanrou and ran out, leaving the Queen no time to even wave at her.
"These two children..."
She sighed and laughed, "You haven't had time to go to the Queen Mother yet, do you want to go with them?"
She left the initiative of choice in the hands of the two of them. If they were willing to say a few more words, they could stay and go over later.
If they still had concerns, her words gave them a way out, and they could follow her words and leave Changchun Palace.
Lu Xinran did have some concerns about Zhang Shuier and Tang Wanrou just now, especially Tang Wanrou. Although she could understand Liu's previous behavior, she was still suspicious and could not really open up to her.
But now that the two had gone to Yongshou Palace, there were no outsiders in the palace. She had a natural closeness and admiration for the queen, so she had no scruples about telling her secrets.
After the queen heard what she said, she couldn't hide the shock in her eyes, "I thought you would never find out in this lifetime. This is fine, this is fine."
If you can live soberly, who would want to be muddle-headed and become a clown in the eyes of others?
"Did you go to Concubine Hua's tomb before?"
After sighing, the queen immediately guessed the reason for their previous actions.
Lu Xinran nodded, it just so happened that the 100,000 pieces of the puzzle also needed the Queen's help to save.
"Your Majesty, the information I received is too confusing, and I don't know much about Concubine Hua's life. It's very difficult to find clues from that year."
"What's the big deal?" The Queen smiled and beckoned the palace servants waiting outside, "Go and call one of the old people in Concubine Hua's palace."
"Yes, ma'am."
The palace maid didn't dare to ask any more questions and left quickly. The queen kneaded the beads on her wrist and suddenly said firmly: "You came to the palace today, do you want to take another look at Lan Jieyu's past?"
"Yes, King Wei suspected that the incident with the Nanzhao Princess was related to King Chu and King Jin, but I didn't find anything unusual in the booklets of the two, so I wanted to look at the past of their respective mothers."
"Well, your idea is right, but the matter of Princess Nanzhao..."
The Queen recalled the events of five years ago, her face unusually grim: "What happened back then was too complicated, there must have been a lot of people involved."
Even the emperor might be involved in it. After all, there are so many treasures and the support of the entire Nanzhao. Given the emperor's suspicion, he would not allow the Nanzhao princess to marry his son.
However, at several palace banquets, the Nanzhao princess showed that she was more interested in the prince.
After all, she could only be a concubine in the harem. Even if she had great connections and the emperor made her a royal concubine, she would still not be the principal wife.
With the ambition written all over Princess Nanzhao's face, how could she be willing to be a concubine?
She married the prince as his principal wife, and later assisted him in ascending the throne, making her the legitimate queen.
So her eyes never fell on the emperor from beginning to end.
But the more obviously she showed her ambition, the more intolerable the emperor became.
This is a naked provocation to the imperial power and his masculine charm.
Lu Xinran had already guessed this possibility before, and at this point her desire to solve the unsolved case had turned into wanting to know the various connections involved.
"My Lady, if the Emperor had a hand in this, who would have the recipe now?"
If the formula was really lost and fell into the emperor's hands, could he really bear to throw it aside?
The queen laughed sarcastically: "Who said that the Nanzhao envoy brought the real iron smelting formula?"
In her opinion, this was all a cover-up from the beginning to the end. What happened back then was a mixture of true and false, real and fake, and everyone involved had their own ulterior motives.
"That's what the Nanzhao people use to protect themselves. If I were the King of Nanzhao, I would never hand over this recipe."
Lu Xinran: “…”
So the countdown for Princess Nanzhao's life began from the day she entered Da Chu?
"These are just my guesses. Maybe the people here are not as bad as I said. You should investigate first before making a conclusion."
While the Queen was speaking, the palace servants had already brought the old man from Concubine Hua's palace over.
This was the palace maid who had been serving Hua Fei since she entered the palace. After Hua Fei was executed, all the palace maids in her palace were assigned to serve other concubines. However, this old nanny was old and a palace maid who was not valued, so the Queen did not send her to other people.
There is still no new master living in Huayang Palace, so the old nanny is guarding there.
"If you have any questions, just feel free to ask."
The Queen's words were to tell Lu Xinran that this old nanny had long been hers, and not only would she tell her everything she knew, but she would also keep her mouth shut.
Lu Xinran understood what she meant, and after the palace maids around the Queen left, she began to ask about Concubine Hua's past by comparing the contents in the system.
The puzzle pieces were sorted out one by one, and the originally scattered content was gradually straightened out.
Lu Xinran wanted to look through it immediately, but was afraid that the emperor would find out that she had loaded Hua Fei's past.
I could only force myself to close the booklet, feeling as if my heart was being scratched by a cat's claws.
"But is there anything else I can do for you?"
The Queen looked at her with a smile. Since the last time they were at the border together, the Queen had never referred to herself as "this palace" to her again.
I was too close to her, so Lu Xinran smiled and shook her head again: "Don't bother your majesty for now, I need to go back and sort it out before deciding what to do next."
However, if possible, she should take the opportunity to load the Emperor and the Empress Dowager's pamphlets as well.
The queen's eyes rolled around, and she guessed what she was thinking without her saying anything. She smiled and stood up, "Let's go, let's go pay our respects to the queen mother. The queen mother has always been thinking about you. It's rare for you to come to the palace, so you must spend more time with the queen mother and talk to her today."
