Chapter 127: They Are Here
"It's okay, Mr. Zhou, the Emperor is still waiting for your reply." Yu Bao, who was obviously very familiar with Zhou Chumu, responded with a smile.
Lin Qingluan then realized: "I'll go back first."
Yu Bao seemed to be confused for a moment, and then said: "Master Zhou, please go to the main hall and wait a moment. I will go back to report to the emperor. Your Majesty, please come in with me."
Zhou Chumu's eyes fell on Lin Qingluan. Lin Qingluan couldn't help feeling that her scalp was slightly numb, but she didn't dare to look back and could only follow Yu Bao into the dormitory door.
What day is it today? Why do I meet all of them... old friends?
Lin Qingluan lowered her head and thought, and raised her eyes to see Shangguan Lie, dressed in Chinese clothes, sitting by the bed and reading a book. She remembered the play she had thought about before, and was about to speak, but then she remembered the person not far behind her.
Outside the bedroom door, Zhou Chumu was still standing there.
...Why is this not the right time?
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. With her standing here, some scenes had to be performed.
Lin Qingluan tried her best to ignore Zhou Chumu behind her. She stamped her feet and pouted, looking at Shangguan Lie aggrievedly: "Your Majesty...do you like Princess Beirong that much?"
As soon as she spoke, her voice was so tired that she couldn't stand it.
But Shangguan Lie seemed to look very familiar, and he waved and said with a smile: "Come here."
"Your Majesty, Master Zhou is waiting in the main hall." Yu Bao interrupted somewhat inappropriately, but the door to the bedroom was still open, so he had to remind his master.
"Ah, yes." Shangguan Lie had just asked Zhou Chumu to investigate the matter in the Royal Garden, and he was indeed waiting for him now.
She glanced at Lin Qingluan with some confusion. Before Shangguan Lie said anything, Lin Qingluan looked at him angrily: "Are you going to send your concubine away on business again?"
"...That's all, let He Ran come in." Shangguan Lie had no choice but to pull Lin Qingluan to his side and whispered, "There is something unusual about today's events. I asked He Ran to check it out. It happened that you and I
Let’s hear the results together.”
He seemed a little worried and said: "Don't be petty again, I don't like Princess Beirong."
Lin Qingluan's scene wasn't over yet. She twisted her body and said coquettishly: "But the emperor is lucky for her...she can only enter the harem!"
Shangguan Lie was also worried about this matter, and Lin Qingluan even teased him: "What position is the emperor going to give her? She is a princess!"
"You..." Before Shangguan Lie could finish his words, Yu Fu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you."
Lin Qingluan:......
Well, this person is really here today.
Zhou Chumu had already entered the dormitory. Before bowing his head and saluting, he glanced at Lin Qingluan. Lin Qingluan almost straightened up from Shangguan Lie. Fortunately, she still remembered what she was doing, and pressed softly against Shangguan Lie.
Lie coquettishly on his arm: "Your Majesty~"
"Please come in, queen." Shangguan Lie first said to Yu Fu, then held Lin Qingluan's hand, patted it comfortingly, and finally looked at Zhou Chumu, "He Ran, how is the investigation going?"
Zhou Chumu didn't raise his head completely, and his sight happened to be the pair of intertwined hands.
He paused for a moment and then said: "I am incompetent and failed to find anything in the Imperial Garden. It's just that a group of guards who were supposed to be guarding the Jade Osmanthus Palace were found unconscious in the yard behind the Jade Osmanthus Palace. I asked Zhang
The imperial doctor checked and found out that all the drugs were poisonous from Beirong."
"Huh!" Shangguan Lie snorted angrily, "As expected!"
He sentenced Na Qigetu in his heart. When he heard this again, he felt that the evidence was like this.
He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and said to Zhou Chumu: "Let's investigate the matter here first. There is no need to investigate further for the time being."
Zhou Chumu lowered his head in response.
At this moment, Zhai Hanjing entered the dormitory door and saw Lin Qingluan, who was weak and boneless, leaning on Shangguan Lie.
She frowned slightly, first saluted Shangguan Lie, and then looked at Lin Qingluan: "I didn't know the noble concubine was here too."
"The Queen." Lin Qingluan stood up, gave a cursory curtsey, then sat back on the dragon bed and hugged Shangguan Lie's arm tightly, "I want to see the Emperor, so naturally I want to come over and see the Emperor."
"At this time..." Zhai Hanjing wanted to say something else.
Lin Qingluan interrupted her: "What is the Queen doing here at this hour?"
"Master Zhou, please come this way." Yu Bao led Zhou Chumu away. Zhou Chumu saluted Shangguan Lie, then lowered his head and carefully avoided Zhai Hanjing. But before going out, he couldn't help but look back at the seat where he was sitting.
Woman on dragon bed.
It's really an eyesore...
Zhou Chumu left expressionlessly, and the bickering between Lin Qingluan and Zhai Hanjing was just about to begin.
But Shangguan Lie, who had been drugged and forced to fight again, was already a little sleepy. Dealing with Lin Qingluan's jealousy was still flirting, but when he saw Zhai Hanjing's serious look, he started to have a headache.
Before Zhai Hanjing could say anything first, Shangguan Lie also frowned and asked, "What did the Queen come here to do?"
It was the same question as Lin Qingluan just now. Zhai Hanjing couldn't help but feel nervous and subconsciously said: "I heard about Princess Beirong..."
"We will discuss this matter tomorrow. I'm exhausted." Shangguan Lie started to drive people away directly.
Zhai Hanjing bit her lower lip, but based on the principle that she could not live well without others, she said: "The emperor will have a good rest first, and the concubine and the noble concubine will leave first."
"Huh?" Lin Qingluan's eyes widened, and she wanted to say that she wasn't leaving, but Shangguan Lie seemed to really want to rest alone, so he patted Lin Qingluan on the back: "I'll see you again tomorrow."
"Your Majesty!" Lin Qingluan was furious, so Shangguan Lie hit her drum again: "Be obedient!"
Lin Qingluan had no choice but to get up reluctantly, and together with Zhai Hanjing, they saluted Shangguan Lie and then walked out of the dormitory door together.
The two walked together in silence until they left the Daming Palace, and Zhai Hanjing asked: "Is the imperial concubine here because of the Qige Tu matter?"
"Same as the Queen." Lin Qingluan did not look at her, but sighed quietly.
Zhou Chumu saw so much today. She was a petty person and didn't know how to torment her.
Zhai Hanjing didn't know what she was worried about. He thought she was angry because of Qi Getu, so he said, "It's really unfair for the imperial concubine and Princess Beirong to call each other sisters."
"Humph." Lin Qingluan glanced sideways at her, with clear displeasure in his black and white eyes, "Does the Queen just like her?"
Zhai Hanjing didn't say anything, so Lin Qingluan said: "I, my concubine, please retire."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhai Hanjing's reaction.
Zhai Hanjing looked at her back thoughtfully, but after a moment he laughed again: "If you can make the imperial concubine unhappy, then this Beirong Princess is not without merit."
