Chapter 365 "Second Visit to the Palace"
"Princess, the Queen went to see Commander Huo."
Zhu Yan reported to Chen Lingyi.
"Oh? What did you say?"
This time, Chen Lingyi did not wave away A-Qiao who was massaging her feet, but asked Zhu Yan without any hesitation.
Zhu Yan was embarrassed. "The distance was too far, so I didn't hear clearly, but the Queen's face didn't look good."
Chen Lingyi chuckled.
"The Queen likes Huo Qingyun, and very few people know about this. I just happened to see her talking to Huo Qingyun."
There was a flash of surprise in Zhu Yan's eyes. She had never heard the princess mention this before.
An expression of gloating appeared on Chen Lingyi's face.
"The Queen wasn't yet the Queen at that time. The Goddess was interested, but the Prince was not. Huo Qingyun didn't have any thoughts about her at all!
I deliberately said some ambiguous words in front of the Queen to make her suspect that there is something between Luo Xiaoran and Huo Qingyun.
Although the queen seems to be indifferent and uninterested in everything, she is actually as arrogant as her elder brother!
Huo Qingyun did not accept her, but was still unclear with Luo Xiaoran. Can the Queen swallow this?"
So that's how it is. Zhu Yan suddenly realized and continued Chen Lingyi's words:
"With the queen's arrogant personality, it is impossible for her to accept that Commander Huo abandoned her and chose Luo Xiaoran, a village girl.
The princess also directed the death of Commander Lin to Luo Xiaoran. If these two things happened at the same time, it would be strange if the queen didn't make trouble for Luo Xiaoran!"
"Let's wait and see the show!"
Chen Lingyi smiled very proudly.
……
Only a person can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Luo Xiaoran just wanted to live a peaceful life, so she stayed quietly in Fukang Palace, but trouble still found her.
The queen's servants angrily surrounded Fukang Palace, saying that the red coral she presented at the Qianqiu Festival was smeared with refined musk, which would prevent women from getting pregnant.
Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Medical Bureau has admitted that on the day Princess Qingyi gave the red coral to Luo Xiaoran, he had carefully examined it for Luo Xiaoran and found nothing wrong with the red coral.
Therefore, the time when the red coral could be tampered with was from the time when the red coral entered the Fukang Palace to the time when the red coral entered the Kunning Palace.
Since Hong Shanhu entered Fukang Palace, she has been kept in Luo Xiaoran's bedroom, and only Luo Xiaoran and Wei An can enter and exit the bedroom, so now the two of them have to be taken to the Sky Prison for interrogation.
“The Queen liked Miss Luo’s red coral very much, so she placed it in her bedroom for her to admire every day.
Fortunately, when the imperial physician came to check the Queen's pulse today, he discovered something unusual. If this continued for a long time, it would have really hurt the Queen's health, and even damaged the foundation of our country!
All other people who have contact with Red Coral will be sent to the Heavenly Prison. Miss Luo, please bear with it for a while. After the truth is found out, we will naturally release Miss Luo from the Heavenly Prison."
The one who spoke was Qinghuan, the most favored maidservant beside the Queen. Qinghuan was also a maid in the Lin Mansion. She grew up with the Queen Lin Zhuohua and accompanied her into the palace.
Luo Xiaoran looked up at the sky and felt that she was too optimistic. She had only been out for a few days.
I was looking forward to Chen Ji's arrival so that I wouldn't have to stay in Fukang Palace. Now this wish has come true - I no longer have to stay in Fukang Palace, but in Tianlao!
This is her second set of "Tears Behind Bars Package", the legendary "second time in prison"!
The Queen directly sent someone to "invite" her to the Heavenly Prison to cooperate with the investigation, and it was done very quickly. Luo Xiaoran didn't even have the chance to ask for help.
"Miss Luo, the Queen believes that you are innocent, but this red coral was given away by you after all, and hundreds of palace servants were sent to the prison. Please go to the prison to prove your innocence."
Qinghuan's attitude was very polite and what he said made sense, so Luo Xiaoran couldn't even refute it.
After all, the queen wanted to send a commoner to the Heavenly Prison, so there was no need to explain so much to this commoner.
"Then I...will go with you!"
Luo Xiaoran cursed in her heart, but she had to remain polite on the surface and ignored Wei An in her words.
Qing Huan was indeed very strict. "Miss Wei An is also someone who can enter Miss Luo's bedroom. Please go with her. She can also help take care of Miss Luo."
Well! Asking Wei An to ask for help is no longer feasible.
Having said that, Qing Huan even knew that Wei An was the only person who could enter her bedroom, so it was obvious that she came prepared.
There is really no simple person in this palace.
……
In front of the Sky Prison, Luo Xiaoran met Eunuch Sun again and greeted him very familiarly.
"Hello again, Eunuch Sun. You look thinner than a few days ago."
"Miss Luo, you are joking. I was born strange. No matter how much I eat, I just can't get fat."
Eunuch Sun greeted Luo Xiaoran with a smile, but he was cursing in his heart.
Wouldn't he be thin? It's only been a few days? How come this big Buddha came in again!
Even if you complain a lot, you still have to work!
Eunuch Sun made a "please" gesture, intending to lead Luo Xiaoran into the cell where she had lived before.
Luo Xiaoran found out that they were still staying in the same room, so she walked in with ease. It seemed like she was leading the way for Eunuch Sun.
"Eunuch Sun, if you tell others about your physique that you can eat anything without gaining weight, I wonder how many girls will envy you!"
"Miss Luo loves to joke more and more. I am a eunuch. How can I be compared with those beautiful girls out there?"
"Eunuchs are also human beings. They must have their own reasons for becoming eunuchs, but if you are not afraid of being stabbed, then you should not belittle yourself."
As soon as Luo Xiaoran finished speaking, the corners of Eunuch Sun's mouth, which had always been raised, froze slightly.
He straightened his waist which had been slightly bent for years, and when he looked up, he saw the back of Luo Xiaoran's head.
Luo Xiaoran's hairstyle was the most common style in the palace, and her clothes were ordinary palace clothes made by the Imperial Clothing Department. If it weren't for her good temperament, she would have looked like an unfavored concubine pulled out from a corner.
The final result can only be to disappear in the harem and be buried in the imperial mausoleum after the emperor's death.
But Eunuch Sun, who had the chance to meet Luo Xiaoran for the second time, knew that this was a woman who was destined to stir up trouble in the imperial palace and even in Kyoto.
Because, with her background as an ordinary citizen, let alone becoming the Princess of Yan, even if she entered the palace to be a maid, she might be rejected because she did not bribe the palace servants who did the job.
But she is about to become the first commoner to marry into the royal family since the founding of Daliang Dynasty. This shows how special she is.
Therefore, when Luo Xiaoran said those words just now, "Eunuchs should not belittle themselves," Eunuch Sun was surprised for a moment, but soon recovered.
Luo Xiaoran's words reflected her thinking of "equal human rights" as a modern person. She just said it casually and didn't take it seriously. She had no idea how shocked Eunuch Sun was when he heard those words.
She just vaguely felt that this time when she came to the Heavenly Prison, Eunuch Sun's attitude was much more sincere and not as... artificial as last time.
