Chapter 45

"Lanxiang..." Feng Yinshuang read the name lightly, and then said, "I remember that she has been by your side for a long time."

There are only about a dozen palace people in the Xianfei Palace, and Feng Yinshuang is familiar with them when he comes here often, so he naturally knows it.

"Yeah, she has been chosen to be my maid since I entered the palace. She has been serving by my side and is very cautious and careful." Concubine Xian first praised Lan Xiang, and then asked a little strangely, "You suddenly asked her what to do?"

"Sister Xian Fei, if you hide a wolf in sheep's clothing, you will have endless troubles. Even the palace servants who have been with you for so many years can do things of rebellion, so who else can What is really worth believing?"

With Concubine Xian's intelligence, of course, she could understand the meaning behind her words.

"You mean... Lan Xiang betrayed Ben Gong?"

She deliberately entered the palace because she had something to tell her, and she had to hold back and asked about Lanxiang, so that can only explain this point.

"Don't you ever find out? Yes, she has been with you for so many years. If she knew, she would have known it, maybe she couldn't help it, but betrayal is betrayal, and any reason for explanation is pale. Concubine Li wants to use the name of her sister's birthday to poison the prince and frame you, but once she succeeds, what kind of situation will her sister be in at that time, just for this, she should die!"

Feng Yinshuang is no longer the indecisive person she used to be, and she will never be soft-hearted towards enemies.

"What did you say?" This time, Concubine Xian was even more astonished. "That day, you deliberately bumped into the prince's arms. At that time, Ben Gong still thought it was a little strange. You already knew that the wine was poisonous, so you did it on purpose?"

After seeing Feng Yinshuang nodding, she felt very unacceptable.

Concubine Xian boasts that she has always been low-key and cautious in the palace, and has never had a grudge against anyone.

Moreover, there is only one princess under her knees, and she does not pose any threat to the competition for the crown prince, but she does not want her to be so indifferent to the world, and she can become a thorn in the eyes of others, deliberately trying to frame her.

When she thinks of this method now, she feels cold all over her body, and she can't imagine that Concubine Li, whom she has always respected like her sister, is so sinister.

"It's no wonder that at the palace banquet that day, she kept mentioning the matter of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing, because she had already arranged this conspiracy to get rid of the prince through Ben Gong's hands, and then frame Ben Gong. Shuang'er , how did you find out about these things, and how did you see that Lan Xiang had colluded with Concubine Li?"

This... She can't say that she can't predict because she has experienced these things in her previous life.

"Because I have long suspected Concubine Li and the third prince, I have been keeping an eye on them secretly."

Concubine Xian thought that she probably got it through speculation, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"But all the sweet-scented osmanthus brewed at that time was poured out of a wine jar, and later distributed to the wine jug. Lanxiang not only poured wine for the prince, but also others, so why are they fine after drinking, this is For what reason?"

Feng Yinshuang knew that she would definitely ask this question, so with her eyes signaling, Ruoshui immediately brought up a jug.

"This is what I told Ruo Shui to bring back. It's the one Lanxiang used to pour wine for the prince at the palace banquet. Sister, you can open it and see."

What mystery can a jug hide? Concubine Xian took it over and took a look, her face changed greatly, she obviously understood.

"This is called Yin-Yang Pot. There is a mechanism in the handle. When pouring wine, just press the button to control whether the poured wine is poisonous or not. It seems that Concubine Li is really deliberate, and even such a method can be used. make it out."

It was probably also because their plan failed and they didn't hurt anyone. In the end, they left in a hurry. Lan Xiang was in a hurry and didn't have time to get the wine jug, so she was taken away by Ruo Shui.

Now Concubine Xian has no doubts about this matter, but she is really very angry.

Even though she was used to seeing the situation in the palace, she never thought that there would be such a vicious and dangerous thing. At that time, she would definitely be charged with murdering the prince and be executed by the whole family.

If Feng Yinshuang hadn't discovered it early and secretly helped her resolve the crisis, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"It's too much. There is such a white-eyed wolf beside me. I don't care about her! I will call her for interrogation now. I will not forgive her for doing such a thing."

Lanxiang has always won her heart, and now being betrayed by someone she trusts is of course uncomfortable, and it is no wonder that Concubine Xian is so angry.

"Elder sister, don't be impatient. I didn't tell my grandfather and sister-in-law about this. I just went to the palace to tell my sister in person. I just didn't want to make things bigger and startle the snakes."

"No, for such a serious matter, this palace must report to the emperor and ask him to thoroughly investigate the matter and uphold justice." Women in this era are all too attached to their husbands, and they only want to seek the protection of their husbands when something goes wrong, but I don't want a man to be unreliable at all.

Feng Yinshuang hurriedly stopped: "Sister, it's absolutely impossible, this matter is a big matter, and it's about the prince. If there is a big problem, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if you interrogate Lanxiang, you know that the master behind the scenes is Concubine Li, but Concubine Li Is it possible that she will admit it? When the time comes to really make trouble in front of the emperor, she will bite her sister back, saying that Lanxiang is someone in her sister's palace, colluding to frame her, and will frame the poisoning incident on her sister's head Come on, so don't act rashly."

Concubine Xian just lost her head in anger for a while. Now that Feng Yinshuang reminded her, she also knew that she really didn't think about it that much just now.

She just felt scared. There was such a vicious person in the palace who wanted to frame her all the time. How could she remain calm?

"Then what do you say now?"

"Don't do anything, just observe it secretly. Now that we already know that Lan Xiang belongs to Concubine Li, things are much simpler. This time the plan failed, Concubine Li will definitely contact her for the next one. The plan, as long as Lanxiang is closely watched, then the initiative is still in our hands." Feng Yinshuang said very calmly, she had already thought about it from the beginning.

In her eyes, this is not just a bad thing, it can also turn into a good thing if used properly, and let them fall into the trap they dug themselves, which is really refreshing.

"It's that simple?" Concubine Xian's mood has not calmed down until now. Although she is kind and indisputable, she doesn't want to give up the opportunity to expose bad people in vain.

"Before we have no confidence in completely knocking down the enemy, we must act cautiously, and we must not act rashly, so as not to shock the snake. Once you interrogate Lanxiang, this matter will immediately spread to Concubine Li's ears, this time it is Lanxiang, there will be someone else next time, sister, you must think twice."

Concubine Xian thought about it carefully, and after thinking about all the stakes in this matter, she finally agreed with Feng Yinshuang's words, and admired her very much.

"Shuang'er, you really have changed. Your intelligence has impressed Ben Gong with admiration. I am very pleased. You have really grown up."

The previous Feng Yinshuang was the eldest young lady who was loved by everyone in the palm of their hands. She always felt that she was simple and straightforward, not deep in the world, and did not understand the sinister nature of people. But today she said something like this, taking all things into consideration, and even she, who has been in the palace for so many years, has to be resigned, so how could Concubine Xian not be surprised.

Feng Yinshuang could only lower her head and smile. Everyone said she had changed, and she wouldn't feel any fuss now.

"Sister, don't tell other people about this matter, even my second sister-in-law, lest they worry about it. We have to be patient and investigate this matter slowly, and I will also keep an eye on the third prince. Well, as for the palace, I will trouble you, sister."

Of course, Concubine Xian knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately nodded in agreement.

But... why does she feel that Shuang'er seems to be hiding a lot of things in her heart now, and why is it that she has changed so much?

"Shuang'er, Ben Gong thinks there is something very strange, and I have always had doubts. Can you help Ben Gong to answer it?"

Feng Yinshuang nodded, she probably knew what question she wanted to ask.

"You knew and fell in love with the third prince before, and your relationship with Concubine Li is also very good. These are all in the eyes of this palace, but since the wrong marriage of the sedan chair, why did you suddenly change? Actually, if you only want If you want to continue to be with the third prince, then King Qingping can't force you to do anything, and the Feng family will never let you suffer grievances, but King Qingping is still involved in this matter, should this be what you mean? "

Concubine Xian really knew her, she had already said so, and Feng Yinshuang had nothing to hide, so she simply nodded to admit it.

In the future, she still needs the help of Concubine Xian. It would be good to let her know some things, not only to protect herself, but also to use her status in the palace to provide her with information.

"Sure enough, but this palace doesn't understand why. Don't you love the third prince? Then why did you insist on marrying him before?"

This is the most puzzling part. If it is said that the change is a bit too fast, isn't it? Before that, I had never heard of any conflict between her and the third prince.

Feng Yinshuang's expression became a little complicated. There are some things that no one can imagine or understand. It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but that no one will believe it.

"Before, I was blinded and didn't know what reason was. But when I finally saw everything clearly, some things couldn't go back to the way they were before, so I could only try my best to change everything, hoping it would be too late. "She said these words lightly, but Concubine Xian saw a trace of Yan Liang who had seen through everything in her eyes.
