Family Has a Concubine

"Kicked out of the palace?" Both the crown prince and Song Xiao were startled.

"Yes." Li Gui said with a troubled expression.

Song Xiaodao: "Could it be that Marquis Zhenxi and Shangguan Xiu noticed that she was different from other beautiful girls? So they were kicked out?"

"How is it possible?" the prince said, "I have already confessed to Marquis Zhenxi."

"That is Shangguan Xiu." Song Xiao said.

The prince frowned deeply: "That reckless man!"

Li Gui sighed anxiously: "Neither of them, but... was kicked out of the palace by Concubine Lin Gui."

"Concubine Lin?" The crown prince and Song Xiao were startled.

Concubine Lin Guifei did not give birth to any heirs, but because of her gentleness and beauty, she won the holy family. Even if Emperor Zhengxuan didn't stay in the harem these years, he would visit her from time to time.

Concubine Lin usually has a good relationship with Empress Zheng. After all, she has no heirs. In the future, the crown prince will become emperor. In order to make a living, she must depend on Empress Zheng.

But Empress Zheng herself is capable, so she treats Concubine Lin Guifei indifferently.

"What's the matter with Concubine Lin Gui?" The prince's eyes were cold.

"The servant has inquired about it, so it's like this..." Li Gui said with a pale face, "At that time, the first round of drafting was over, and there were a total of 246 people left, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged accommodation for them. At the time, a small soft sedan chair was brought over, but it was Concubine Lin Gui. At that time, Concubine Lin Guifei passed by there, and all the beautiful girls saluted in a proper manner. Who knows, the beautiful girls just arranged to enter the Xiuyuan, and only took a rest for a while Concubine Lin's eldest maid, Siquan, suddenly ran over and asked the servant who arranged for the show girl, "My lady passed by here, but when she returned, she found that the hairpin wrapped in silk and inlaid with three-color gemstones was gone. Has anyone here seen it?" ?'”

"The waiter hurriedly said that he hadn't seen it before. Siquan sneered, "You haven't seen it, but what about the beautiful girls inside? There are more than two hundred people, maybe they were picked up by them." The waiter was so frightened that he quickly Called all the beautiful girls out and asked them if they had picked up the imperial concubine's hairpin. But the beautiful girls shook their heads and denied it. Siquan insisted that the beautiful girls picked it up, so he took four or five court ladies into the courtyard. The house was searched. Finally, the hairpin was found in a house.”

The Crown Prince and Song Xiao's faces darkened, and the Crown Prince snorted coldly: "Bastard, you mean that our people picked up Concubine Lin's hairpin and left it alone?"

"Impossible." Song Xiao grimaced, "That's a dead man who obeyed His Highness's order! You can even give up your life, and would you be greedy for a hairpin?"

Li Gui's expression became even uglier: "No...no." Li Gui didn't even want to overthrow it, but he didn't say no!

The prince was about to explode: "What is it? You are a dead slave, hurry up and explain the matter clearly to Ben Gong."

Li Gui's face was burning with pain. He is the crown prince's most trusted confidant. Now it is embarrassing to scold Song Xiao like this in front of Song Xiao's face: "At that time, Siquan found the hairpin from the house and asked who picked it up! But all All the beautiful women shook their heads with a pale face. Siquan sneered, "Okay, don't you admit it! Whoever lives in that room, all stand up." Finally, four beautiful women stood up, and one of them was us. The hairpin was found under the pillow of a bed next to the window in that room. Siquan asked who slept in that bed. But the four beautiful girls shook their heads and said no."

The prince had a gloomy face: "Since it was found from one of the beds, is it so difficult to prove who slept in the bed next to the window? Can't anyone's luggage be recognized?"

Li Gui's forehead was sweating: "For safety, all the show girls are not allowed to bring luggage! At that time, the show girls had just entered the room after the room was allocated, and the beds had not yet been separated. I heard that several people sat together Chatted, and then was called out by Siquan. None of the four beautiful girls admitted. Siquan was very angry, and went back to report to Concubine Li Gui, who directly kicked all four of them out of the palace."

Song Xiao's eyelids twitched, and the prince stood coldly in the room, exuding bursts of air-conditioning all over his body: "The plan carefully prepared by this palace is all in vain!"

Song Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, wait a little longer! And...it's a good thing that they are driven away now."

The prince's eyes sharpened: "Good thing?"

Song Xiao cupped his hands and said: "The three people carefully arranged by my subordinates were all eliminated in one day. Is it too coincidental? My subordinates always feel that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind!"

However, the prince's face sank: "What do you mean? You mean, someone leaked the plan? Is it you, or you?" He pointed at Song Xiao and then at Li Gui.

Song Xiao and Li Gui turned pale with fright.

"I didn't even tell Chu Yunpan about this plan. The only people who know about it are you, Mr. Wu, Jiang Yixin. Could it be that one of you betrayed me?" The prince said, looking at the two with cold eyes.

Song Xiao and Li Gui looked ugly.

Li Gui hurriedly said: "According to the slave...it's just a coincidence. After all, even if there is a real oriole behind, I dare not brush the three of us in one day! Is this telling us that someone is watching? ? Nobody would be that stupid."

Song Xiao still felt suspicious, and only sighed slightly: "Now... there is no other way, so I have to think of another plan."

"Hmph!" The prince snorted coldly, and slapped the desk next to him fiercely.

He is very unwilling! Very unwilling!

Obviously, in just a few days, he will be able to stab the old man to death and become the emperor himself. The result fell short.

"Get out of this palace." The prince said coldly.

Song Xiao and Li Gui turned and went out with blank faces.

...

Zhenxihou Mansion——

Ye Tangcai was lying on the desk drawing a long life, and Chu Yunpan sat beside her and watched her draw.

Ye Tangcai said: "There are not enough beautiful girls in the palace for you to look at, you still have to look at them when you go home."

Chu Yunpan smiled: "Which of the beautiful girls in the palace is more beautiful than you?"

Ye Tangcai raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyebrows blossomed into a smile, and softly snorted, "Forgive you for not being blind."

"My husband has never been blind." Chu Yunpan stretched out his hands to pinch her small face, "Baby Tang, you've grown fleshy."

Ye Tangcai's face froze, annoyed: "You've only grown flesh."

Chu Yunpan couldn't help but let out a low laugh, and hugged her into his arms, "Long flesh is cuter."

There was a sound of heavy footsteps outside, Chu Yunpan could hear Yu Yang, and said: "How about it."

Yu Yang walked in through the curtain, "Everything went well, and the remaining one was also kicked out."

Chu Yunpan's clear eyebrows raised a sharp smile, "Very well, you can go out."

Yu Yang turned and left, Ye Tangcai said: "You kicked out the third person so quickly? How did you do it?"

"Siquan next to Concubine Lin is from King Liang. King Liang left the capital, but before he left, he left a message for all the secret lines. As long as he receives a letter with a special symbol drawn by him, he will act according to it. Therefore, All the hidden stakes in the palace are at my disposal."
