The imperial decree came out soon, and Lu Panzhi was the new concubine, Mu Rufeng was the new concubine De, and Qiao Chuchu was the new concubine Ning. These three were all hers, but Shi Yeshuang, who had been blessed most often, was really

No seal was granted.

Is Duanmu Canglan worried that she will be angry, or is he worried that Shi Yeshuang will make things difficult for her if she doesn't like her?

Bai Lian took a sip of tea. She was too lazy to care. She needed to worry more about Concubine Duanmu Canglan. There was no one with talent available here, and no one had the guts of those old concubines to harm her. This harem was doomed.

To live a boring life, she only cares about Duanmu Yaxuan now.

Duanmu Canglan said that in that situation, just pull him out for questioning. But this was not the case for Duanmu Yaxuan, they were not even willing to doubt him.

Balian closed his eyes, and a little palace maid ran in, knelt down outside the room and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shi is here." [

Balian opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows unconsciously. She came again? Did she come here the day after the imperial edict was issued? Was it for the position of the first-grade imperial concubine?

"please."

"yes."

Not long after, Shi Yeshuang's voice was heard outside the door: "I, my concubine, Shi Concubine, join the Empress."

"It's cold outside, Shi Bin, please come inside quickly."

"Thank you, empress."

The door opened and Shi Ye Shuang walked in. Because this was the queen's bedroom, Shi Ye Shuang's maid stayed outside waiting. Qing Yu took Shi Ye Shuang's cloak and Lily put a chair. Shi Ye Shuang

He bowed again and then sat down.

Balian smiled calmly and said, "Isn't it cold outside?"

"It's quite cold when I get back to you, Madam."

"It's such a cold day. If Shi Bing doesn't stay in the house, why would she come to my Yueluan Palace?"

Shi Yeshuang pursed her lips and held the Juana handkerchief with her little hands: "I have long wanted to come to see the empress to fulfill my filial piety, but I have been unable to do so. I have trouble sleeping and eating..."

Balian slid the lid of the tea bowl and said calmly: "If you say these clichés, just leave. I still have things to do."

Interrupted by Balian, Shi Yeshuang blushed with embarrassment. She stood up, knelt on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong. I should tell the truth. I feel that the empress may have some misunderstandings about me."

, those rumors are all spread by others. I did not take advantage of my power to bully others, nor did I dare to be arrogant. I followed my empress as an example in everything, and was cautious in everything. I really didn't have any disrespect for my empress or other concubines.

Disrespectful.”

Bai Lian put down the tea bowl, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why are you telling me this? I never thought you were that kind of person."

"I heard that I was concubine this time. Your Majesty consulted the empress for advice and did it exactly according to the empress' wishes."

"Are you blaming me for not having you?"

"I don't dare. I just feel from this incident that your Majesty may have misunderstood me. I am frightened and uneasy, so I must explain."

Balian smiled: "You misunderstood me, right? I didn't mean anything against you. The emperor has so many concubines, it's impossible to cover them all, right? I don't care about you because you are very favored by the emperor.

I have spent almost all my time with you. So I thought that even if I didn't, the emperor would reward you. But I didn't know that was not the case. It seems that you didn't serve me enough."

"Yes, I understand. As long as the empress has misunderstood me, it will be fine." [

"Get up quickly, and some unsuspecting people will arrive. They think I am lynching you indiscriminately."

"Yes, I will get up immediately."

Baili An is married to Shi Yeshuang. Indeed, she just looks pretty and looks like a vixen. Coupled with Qiao Chuchu's experience and the rumors in the harem, she does not have a good impression of her. But is she such a person?

After several contacts with her, I found her to be quite simple.

"But speaking of it, I did hear a lot about you, and most of them said you were bullying others. But there is no evidence, so I won't pursue it. Is Shi Concubine as unbearable as those palace officials say?

Woolen cloth?"

Shi Yeshuang hurriedly cried out: "I am really unjust. It is probably the palace people who are spreading rumors. Once, Li Guiren fell into the water and I happened to be passing by. Those people said that it was me who did it. But I was just passing by."

That’s all.”

"I also heard that you are very arrogant when you talk to people in the palace at will."

"Then it is even more unjust. I have never dared to behave like this."

Could it be that Qiao Chuchu was lying?

Balian's eyes were lost. After Shi Yeshuang confided for a while and left, Balian walked to the door. It was really cold outside. The wind blew the remaining snow in all directions, and he felt very desolate.

Bai Lian was thinking about Qiao Chuchu. She thought that these women were of no use, and she had to care about them in her current position, so she rarely studied them. If that Qiao Chuchu was not as weak as she first appeared

Woolen cloth?

Balian recalled every word Shi Yeshuang said, and she was looking for flaws. But when she thought of the incident of falling into the water, Shi Yeshuang's words echoed in her ears: I was just passing by.

Balian suddenly remembered something. She walked back to the soft couch and knocked on the square table with her little hands. She remembered another sentence: What kidnapping? What are you talking about?

The last kidnapping was not caused by Ye Luanchi, and after Chulan and Manyu died, another Hanyun appeared. The whereabouts of that Hanyun were mysterious. If she wanted to kidnap her, the person who wrote the notes several times was her.

But how did she do it? The palace was tightly guarded by an army of guards, so she could not come and leave at will. When Ye Xinxin harmed her through Chu Lan, she also had the identity of the queen as a cover, so this

How did Han Yun send notes to her again and again, and even delivered them to her yard?

So, she naturally thought of what Mu Feibai said was suspicious and what Duanmu Yaxuan said was okay.

"Qingyu."

"Yes, empress."

"Tell His Highness Xiaoyuan to immediately find someone who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and bring him to me secretly."

Qingyu paused for a moment, but she immediately went to do it. Balian said, "Yes, I will go check it out right away."

After Qingyu left, Bailian said to Lily again: "Go and ask Xiao Huanzi to come."

Lily also hurriedly went to call for someone. After a while, Xiao Huanzi walked in and knelt down. Bailian said to him: "Go and ask General Duo to help you check. Every time the word group that led me out of the palace appears, the third princess is there."

There."

"yes."

After Xiao Huanzi left, Lily frowned: "Mother, what have you thought of?" [

Balian shook his head and said: "It's just a guess. I still need to verify it. I will tell you when the verification results come out."

Bai Lian squinted his eyes and kept tapping on the square table with his little hands. It took time to find Qi Men Dun Jia's people, but Duozhong's investigation of Gu Wenwen's whereabouts was done very quickly. Xiao Huanzi came back to report, in the past few days
