Nannan felt a little unhappy because she had to take someone with her. It was very troublesome to have a follower, and it was particularly troublesome to have no freedom.
However, he would definitely not be allowed to leave the palace without taking the emperor with him. Xiao Shengsheng is so timid. If the emperor disagrees, he will not dare to go out.
Forget it, just take one person with you. At worst, you can get rid of him after leaving the palace. Anyway, he is very capable. It is very easy to get rid of someone.
Nannan thought hard for a while, without asking who the emperor wanted to take with him, and finally reluctantly agreed with a look of embarrassment.
The emperor smiled. He already had an idea in his mind regarding Mr. Shen's matter, which finally solved a troublesome matter in his mind.
After talking some more words in the room and explaining some things to Ye Lansheng, the emperor led Miao Qianqiu out of the small courtyard.
Ye Lansheng was naturally very happy to be able to leave the palace. He had been taking care of him in this courtyard for two years, and it was impossible to say that he didn't want to go out and take a look. Just because of the environment, he suppressed that desire in his heart, not mentioning it or thinking about it.
Now Nan Nan has achieved his wish easily. Although Ye Lansheng finds Grandpa Huang's attitude towards Nan Nan very puzzling, he is still very grateful to Nan Nan from the bottom of his heart.
However, he was not alone in puzzling over the emperor's behavior.
Others in the palace were also doubtful.
The emperor went to the courtyard where the prince's son lived for three or four days in a row, and each time he stayed in the room talking for a long time. Such an abnormal behavior made even the most ignorant person aware that there was something unusual about it.
Ye Lansheng, who was originally neglected, suddenly became very popular and became the object of private discussion among everyone in the palace.
Even Concubine Meng, who focused all her attention on the Seventh Prince and Mr. Shen and never took Ye Lansheng seriously, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty intend to reuse the prince?" Jian Xiang closed the door and whispered in Concubine Meng's ear.
Concubine Meng stared at the seventh prince, who was still unconscious but looking much better on the bed, with a silent expression. She sneered after hearing this, "If the emperor really took a new look at Ye Lansheng and started to pay attention to the prince, then going to Eunuch Ke last night would not have been so simple. were killed with rods."
Jian Xiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, Eunuch Ke said last night that he had poisoned Prince Sheng's food. If the emperor really loves this grandson, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. In fact, even if they don't investigate, everyone knows that the dirty things are done by people in this palace who are fighting for power.
If the emperor lets go and investigates, many unknown things and people will surely be revealed in the entire palace. The implications will be very wide, and it is uncertain who the target will be. Look, didn't Eunuch Ke spill dirty water on the imperial concubine yesterday
Obviously, the status of Prince Sheng in the eyes of the emperor is not as good as that of Concubine Meng or other princes and concubines who may be involved, so the emperor directly asked Eunuch Ke to be killed with a stick in the name of an assassin, which was considered a murder and silenced. It calmed down completely.
"Jian Xiang, has anything unusual happened in the courtyard of Ye Lansheng these past few days?" Concubine Meng thought about it for a while, but still felt that there was something strange about it.
"A few days ago, the emperor asked Eunuch Miao to assign some maids and eunuchs to serve in the courtyard. By the way, there was also a doll, which was said to be for Prince Sheng's escort. On the day when the seventh prince was poisoned, the third prince, fourth prince and sixth prince's Several princes went to the courtyard to look for trouble, and were beaten up by the companion. Later, Prince Xiu came forward to resolve the matter." If those princes had not been wronged and talked about it everywhere, they would have Maybe you can't find out.
The courtyard is now full of the emperor's people, and they all have very strict mouths, and they can't find out anything.
Concubine Meng was stunned, but she remembered this matter, but that day all her thoughts were on the Seventh Prince. Although Ye Xiu mentioned it alone, there was nothing mentioned between the lines about the beating of the escort, but she did. Didn't pay much attention.
A child, though? A child who appeared out of nowhere
"What is the identity of the child?"
Jian Xiang said rather remorsefully, "I didn't find out. I just heard from people in the Queen Mother's Palace that the child was brought back by someone sent by the emperor. No one knows his identity. I went to check, but in the yard The people didn’t reveal anything.”
Concubine Meng narrowed her eyes. She had an intuition that the emperor's frequent presence in that courtyard was probably related to the child.
She glanced at the Seventh Prince, and when she turned back and stood up, she ordered people to investigate the child.
Not only Concubine Meng, but also women with some status in the palace were very concerned about the whereabouts of the emperor, but some of them were not as deeply concerned as Concubine Meng. Their attention soon fell on Ye Lansheng, and then turned to Prince, now turn to... the Queen.
Rumors soon spread in the palace that the queen would be favored again. However, the queen, who was the person involved, slightly raised her lips and listened to the reports of her subordinates in a very sarcastic manner.
She has been married to the emperor for many years, and no one knows his temper better than him. Favored? The emperor has long been seduced by that vixen of Concubine Meng, how could he still remember her
But no matter what the truth was, her Lan Sheng finally got through it. At least it would be better to get the emperor's attention than to stay in that courtyard in obscurity and be poisoned to death.
The palace was very uneasy, because of Nannan's intervention, there was a faint feeling that a storm was coming.
Outside the palace, there were also constant shocks and disturbances.
When Ye Xiu returned to the imperial capital alone, there were always many people coming to visit him. From low-ranking officials trying to climb up the ranks, to first-rank officials, marquises from aristocratic families, and even princes and princesses, they all sent messages to visit him.
But no matter who it was, they were all pushed aside by Ye Xiudu. In the past few days, they had attracted a lot of criticism and curses. He even threatened to wait for the restaurant competition a few days later and personally watched Ye Xiu alone bow his head and apologize to Mr. Shen in front of everyone in shame.
Yu Qingluo found it very funny when she heard the information Yuexin had learned. She turned the medicine bottle around in her hand and said, "Our prince is also quite arrogant, isn't he."
Not to mention these princes and officials, Ye Xiudu could find excuses to refuse even the emperor's summons. Why would he care about the criticism of these people
Yue Xin was not as optimistic as she was. Seeing her young lady's indifferent look, she couldn't help but feel anxious, "But young lady, what if you really lost the game that day? That Mr. Shen is a ghost doctor. Even someone like me is All the little girls in the house who stay at home have heard of this name, and they feel so scary."
Yu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Yes, she just told Yue Xin that she was the one who wanted to compete with the ghost doctor, but she didn't say that the real ghost doctor was herself.
