The third update is here!!! There will be a fourth update tonight, probably around 11 o'clock!!!

——————————————————.zhuixiaoshuo.

The autumn wind was blowing wildly, and the sky was hazy. In the lifeless atmosphere, it seemed as if there was a thick layer of dark clouds hanging over the head, lingering for a long time.

After leaving Chen Fei Palace, Zhengyao and his party walked towards Lan Fei Palace again.

"I never expected that Concubine Chen could be so pitiful, and Concubine Lan is so hateful." Seeing that she was already some distance away from Concubine Chen's palace, Xiao Xi said.

Xiao Xi is also one of those people who always says something. Perhaps these are the common habits they have developed after spending time with Ning An. After listening to Concubine Chen’s painful talk just now, Xiao Xi

Naturally, he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Concubine Chen.

But at this moment, Ning An shook his head and smiled, glanced at Zheng Yao, then looked at Xiao Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, do you really think that Concubine Chen is the so-called victim?"

Ning An's words were full of fun, especially when she looked at Zheng Yao, her eyes were full of ridicule. It seemed that she doubted what she had just heard in Concubine Chen's palace, and wanted to inform Zheng Yao to express her own opinion.

Sure enough, Zhengyao couldn't help but smile, touched the tip of his nose and said: "The princess is right. What Concubine Chen said just now is only one-sided. The words of the two of them are the same as hers. Whatever you say is fine. I think we should go to Lan Concubine Palace first.

Let’s take a look and then talk.”

"oh."

Xiao Xi said awkwardly, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

This scene actually made Mo Maoqia and others on the side laugh out loud again, laughing as they walked. Not long after, they arrived at Lan Fei Palace to the east of Chen Concubine Palace.

Whether it's the West Palace, the East Palace, or even the Kunning Palace, the architectural styles inside are actually pretty much the same. It's just that the decorations inside the house are different because of the different temperaments and preferences of the concubines.

The decorations in Chenfei Palace look relatively simple and elegant, giving people a natural atmosphere. There is no luxury or exaggeration, but it has made Jiajing favored for a long time. If it hadn't been for Li Guifei's miscarriage, maybe it would have been

Concubine Chen may also be named a noble concubine and live in Kunning Palace.

Relatively speaking, Lan Fei Palace looks more grand and beautiful. The flowers and plants in the garden also look particularly beautiful. All the vases and paintings in the house are made by famous artists, which makes people feel that Lan Fei is a person who knows how to pursue life.

.A person who understands elegant art.

Concubine Lan was holding a kettle in the garden, patiently watering her orchids. When Zhengyao and others approached, she stopped what she was doing and looked over expressionlessly, and her face

The red mark made by Concubine Chen is no longer on it.

Although Concubine Lan is already in her mid-thirties, she has no wrinkles at all, her skin is as smooth as snow, and she is dressed in a thin white gauze. She doesn't seem to feel cold at all. And her soft, boneless body doesn't look cold at all.

Such graceful beauty. Zhengyao couldn't help but sigh that this woman really knew how to take care of herself.

"Join Concubine Lan." Zhengyao and his party said in unison.

"Princess?" It took a while for Concubine Lan to realize that it was Ning An. It seemed that her attention had never been on Ning An. Then she said: "Quickly, come into the room and talk."

Concubine Lan seemed very happy to see Ning An coming here. She immediately politely called everyone into the hall of Concubine Lan's palace, while Xiaomei on the side immediately went to prepare tea.

"The princess returned to the palace for several days but did not come here to see me. I thought the princess didn't remember me." Concubine Lan's voice was very sweet, as soft as having a mouthful of marshmallows in her mouth.

Concubine Lan's half-joking couldn't help but cause a burst of laughter. It was hard to imagine that Concubine Lan had almost come to blows with Concubine Chen before.

Ning An immediately said: "Empress Lan is joking. Ning An is busy enlightening his father and dealing with the murder of Concubine Li when he comes back this time, so he can't spare time to see you. I hope Empress Lan won't blame you."

That's right. The first reason I came here this time is to visit, and the second reason is that I want to bring Mr. Li here to investigate the strange things that happened in the palace recently."

With that said, Ning An turned his attention to Zheng Yao.

Concubine Lan had been sizing up Zhengyao before, because Feng Bao had already met Prince Annan when he brought Mo Maoqia in and out of the palace, so there was no need for any further introduction. But she had never seen Zhengyao before.

I am also very curious in my heart, who can walk side by side with the princess?

When she heard Ning An mention "Master Li", Concubine Lan understood. So she smiled and said: "Master Li, it goes without saying that it is the Li Zhengyao who has been famous in the capital for a long time! The princess is always here

Li Zhengyao's name was mentioned in the palace! When I saw him today, he turned out to be a talented person."

Unexpectedly, Concubine Lan and Concubine Chen would both comment on Zhengyao like this, as if they were breathing out of the same nostril. This actually made Zhengyao a little embarrassed.

Zhengyao had no choice but to smile honestly, wipe the tip of his nose and said: "Ms. Lan Fei is so grateful. I am truly lucky to be able to receive the love of the Emperor and Princess."

After saying this, Zhengyao couldn't help but curse himself in his heart for being so shameless and losing his temper. He could even say such hypocritical words. He was becoming more and more capable of talking nonsense.

"Even if you are here to investigate the case, Master Li does not need to be so polite. If you have any questions, just ask me directly. I will definitely tell you everything I know." Concubine Lan said boldly.

Like Concubine Chen, Concubine Lan was also ready to talk about everything she knew, which made Zhengyao laugh in his heart: tell them all? I'm afraid they are just poking each other's backs.

However, Zhengyao did not show anything, but asked directly: "Just now when we passed by the West Palace Garden, we heard several palace maids whispering that the fire last night was caused by you, Concubine Lan. Do you dare to ask the empress if this is the case?

Is it true? Why would they say that?"

What Zheng Yao asked was actually nonsense. Not to mention that it was not Concubine Lan who started the fire. Even if she started the fire, she would never admit it in front of everyone. Isn't this the same as asking but not asking?

However, Zhengyao was a drunkard and didn't care about drinking. He just wanted to see how Lan Fei would react after hearing his question and whether she would take any drastic action.

After hearing this, Concubine Lan couldn't help but frown. Then she said calmly: "Haha, that's how it is in the palace. Once something happens, rumors will spread. This is not surprising.

Mr. Li doesn’t know, and I don’t blame you. But I can definitely tell Mr. Li that this matter must be

That woman Chen Concubine spread it. I have always regarded Concubine Chen as the best sister, but I never thought that she would be so insistent on thinking that I would hurt her. This time, what is even more outrageous is not only slandering me and setting her on fire.

In his bedroom, he actually slapped me. It seems that the moon will be round and people will change, that’s absolutely true."

Just like Concubine Chen before, even her tone was like this. Concubine Lan also began to vomit her bitterness, as if she wanted to win sympathy.

In Zhengyao's view, this matter became even more interesting and funny. The two of them had their own opinions, and you sang and I came on stage. It was interesting.

"Why did Concubine Lan say that? She would actually hit you like this? Is it true that the deep love between you two sisters is fake?" Zhengyao took the opportunity to ask.

Concubine Lan nodded and said: "Concubine Chen is actually the best at pretending. She always looks like a good person in front of others, is kind to others, gentle and considerate, making everyone think that she is a little woman who has nothing to do with the world, and

Don't care about the power struggle in the palace. However, it is all an illusion!

"Concubine Chen comes from a famous family. She has been pampered since she was a child. If she says that she does not want to compete for a place in the harem, it is definitely a lie. The reason why she and I were in and out of the palace like sisters, in fact, she just wanted to compete for performance in front of the emperor.

That’s all. Concubine Li’s previous miscarriage was caused by taking the supplements she sent. Later, Concubine Li was killed. She also asked Xiao Tao to send things to Concubine Li. These were all such coincidences. People have to suspect that she had something to do with it.

Things are related.

"A few days ago, the Emperor came to my Concubine Lan's palace because of something heavy on his mind, and she began to feel jealous. Later, she even went to the Imperial Palace and confessed that I was the real culprit who secretly ordered Kong Geng to poison Concubine Li. At that time, I

I was almost accused by the emperor, but fortunately, Mr. Li, you came back in time and retried the case. As for the case of the fire in Concubine Chen's palace, I think it was a play she directed and acted!"

Concubine Lan talked a lot in one breath, and every point was so true that people couldn't believe it. This couldn't help but pose a problem to Zhengyao and others: Concubine Chen and Concubine Lan each held their own opinions.

words, and both of them are very reasonable, but their words are contradictory. What should we do?

However, Concubine Lan's last sentence about directing and acting really made Zhengyao and others startled. If this is really the case, then Concubine Chen is really not simple.

Zhengyao immediately said: "Directing and acting on your own? Why is the empress so sure?"

Concubine Chen also said before that the real culprit was Concubine Lan, and her tone was very certain. Finally, she also gave the reason. Zhengyao also wanted to hear what the reason was for Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan took a sip of tea, and then said: "Haha, Mr. Li doesn't live in the palace, so it's normal for him to not understand things in the palace. I don't blame you. First of all, you must know that when you live in the palace, you shouldn't have

Other feelings, friendship? Those are all fake. There is so-called friendship only when it is of use value, and this is the case between me and Concubine Chen.

"Before, I had a close relationship with Concubine Chen, which more or less became a bright spot in front of all the concubines. This also made the emperor pay attention to me and Concubine Chen. Compared with other concubines, I and Concubine Chen

Concubine Chen's status is even higher, it can be said bluntly that she is second only to Concubine Shen and Concubine Li.

"Then, when Concubine Shen had to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer incense and would not return until the end of the year, and Concubine Li suddenly passed away, the most important people in the palace were me and Concubine Chen. It can be imagined that if you want to climb up

If it is higher, then it is natural to get rid of the stumbling block of the other party. So, Concubine Chen has such a play: First, setting fire to her palace, it is difficult for anyone to believe that she did it, so there is a way to escape

suspect

secondly, once there is a fire in her palace, the target of the attack will naturally be aimed at me, because if something happens to her, it will definitely be me who will benefit; thirdly, Xiaotao's death is very suspicious, and if Xiaotao dies, then there is no way

check

If it turns out that Concubine Chen gave something to Concubine Li, then even if it was Concubine Chen who murdered Concubine Li, it would only be because there is no evidence and there is no way to investigate. With such a plan of killing three birds with one stone, Concubine Chen really did a good job!"

I really can't believe that the seemingly weak Concubine Lan can actually say such a large number of reasons in one breath, and she goes step by step and is very rigorous. Even if someone remembers what Concubine Lan just said in advance, it may not be possible.

To be able to say it so calmly and so rigorously.

"This Concubine Lan is really not simple!" Zhengyao sighed again in his heart.
Chapter completed!
