Chapter 90 Recognize the Conspiracy
Noble Concubine Jie took care of Lan Chun and the eldest prince day and night. Her plump body gradually became thinner. The eldest prince was getting bigger and bigger day by day, but Lan Chun's situation did not improve.
"You have worked hard. I think it's difficult for Lan to get better, especially if you are so tired. Why don't you send us to Leng Cui Palace?" Cui'er lowered her head and was unhappy.
"It's not hard. Let's wait patiently. Lan Guiren's situation has not continued to deteriorate, which shows that she still has hope now. She will dress herself and take a shower and go to the toilet by herself, which means that she has not completely lost her memory. Cuier, you don't have to feel guilty. I'm willing to do these things. Even if Lan Guiren can't get better in the end, I have no regrets, because she must be happier here than in Leng Cui Palace.
Cui'er is full of gratitude to Princess Jie.
One day when the sun was shining, the noble concubine held the eldest prince and took Lan Chun to the imperial garden to bask in the sun. Cui'er and two M Mothers followed, and the four bodyguards obeyed at any time.
Lan Chun was as happy and jumping like a child being played by his mother. I was so happy to see flowers, birds, fish and insects.
"I want to catch butterflies, I want to catch butterflies, butterflies fly..." Lan Chun broke free from the hand of Princess Jie.
"Go and see the nobles of Lan. You can't have any accidents." Noble Concubine quickly ordered the four bodyguards, and she also ran in the direction of Lan Guiren.
Cui'er also caught up.
"Lan Guiren, Cui'er will help you catch butterflies. Don't walk so fast."
In a short time, they all came to the water lily pond where the accident occurred. The butterfly ran to the lotus. Lan Chun wanted to catch it regardless of the danger. The bodyguard caught Lan Chun's arm, and Lan Chun shouted.
"I want to catch butterflies, I want to catch butterflies..." Lan Chun cried.
"Lan Guiren, I'll catch butterflies for you. You wait here. Don't cry. As soon as you cry, the tiger will run over. The tiger will eat you. You have to be obedient." Lan Chun stopped crying and smiled at Cui Er.
"You help me catch butterflies."
Cui'er quickly agreed. Concubine quickly called the gardening old man and asked him to bring the insect net cover.
Cuier borrowed the mesh and stretched out in the direction of the butterfly. The butterfly was agile and quickly flew away. The mesh was crooked and fell into the water.
"Oh, slow down. Lan Gui, wait for me obediently. I'll go over there." Cui'er took back the net cover and threw the lotus leaf lotus inside to the water.
"Wait, what is this?" Concubine Jie found a withered lotus flower, which was a double petal.
Cui'er looked carefully and looked around.
"What Lan Guiren saw that day was this lotus flower. In order to see it closer, Lan Guiren wanted to see it under the willow tree, but unfortunately he fell under the willow tree. I remember clearly that it was this lotus, because there were only two in the whole pool. That one has withered now. Look, it's not over there. Cui'er pointed to the right.
"Don't you think it's strange? The lotus flowers in the whole pool did not wither, only these two withered. Husband, how long can this lotus bloom at least?
"At least a month, because I specially added a kind of fertilizer to the pond, which can make the flowers bloom longer. In ordinary ponds, lotus flowers can only open for one week. What the slave said is that it starts from its first petal stretching.
"The two lotus flowers should not have withered. Even if they wither, they will still leave branches and stalks, and the lotus will not fall down."
The gardening old man took the lotus in Cui'er's hand and looked at it carefully.
"Precious Concubine Jie is right. This flower is directly inserted into the mud, and there is no root at all. This is the time of flower appreciation, and it has never withered before. This compound flower is so strange that it should not have appeared in this pool, and its life expectancy would not be so short.
"Is someone deliberately inserted here?"
"With this possibility, this flower will never grow by itself." The gardening old man affirmed.
"Okay, you go down, I know."
"You pull Lan Guiren back, Cuier, don't catch butterflies."
They returned to the Yuhe Palace in the noise of Lan Guiren, and Noble Concubine Jie put down the eldest prince and went out.
"Princess Jie, have you found anything?" Cui'er vaguely knew that someone had tamped with the lotus.
"I'm sure someone has done it, but there is no evidence. It seems that this matter is not as simple as we think." After saying that, Jie Guifei left and didn't tell Cuier where she was going.
Noble Concubine Jie quietly came to Lin Jieyu's palace. Lin Jieyu's palace is relatively small, but there are many things on display, which are very valuable. It seems that most of them are taken from home.
The maid of honor saw the noble concubine quickly saluted, and then went to report to Lin Jieyu. Lin Jieyu was drinking tea in the small garden and was very surprised to hear that Noble Concubine came alone.
"Bear her here." Lin Jieyu hurriedly ordered the maid.
Noble Concubine Jie saw Lin Jieyu from afar. When she saw her leisurely enjoying flowers and drinking tea, she was very angry: this vicious woman hurt others, but now she is enjoying it leisurely here.
"What brought the noble concubine? In fact, if the noble concubine wants to see me and let the people below say hello, I will definitely go to the Yuhe Palace as soon as possible. Liu Yang Palace has nothing. I'm afraid of neglecting the noble concubine. After saying that, Lin Jieyu made a salute.
"Let the servants watch from afar. I have something to tell you." Noble Concubine ignored Lin Jieyu's sarcasm.
"You all go down. I'll say a few words to the noble concubine." Lin Jieyu still smiled, and people who didn't know thought she was a very reasonable and kind person.
"Mother, please sit down." Lin Jieyu is polite.
The noble concubine sat down. Lin Jieyu is going to pour tea in person.
"No, I just said a few words and left."
"I understand that the Empress is so busy, but the Empress should also pay attention to her health. Don't get tired and come out for a break." Lin Jieyu still poured the tea to her. Seeing that Princess Jie was in a bad mood, she knew that the visitor was not good.
"Lan Guiren lost his foot by the pond that day. I heard that I met you in advance." Noble Concubine Jie wants to see how she explains it.
"I happened to pass by and saw a lotus in the pond. I couldn't help but stop and look. Because I was tired, I left quickly. I didn't expect that something like that happened to Sister Lan later. It's really sad.
"I heard from the people present that you found the lotus with multiple petals first. Lin Jieyu's eyes are so good." Noble Concubine looked straight at Lin Jieyu.
"It's just a coincidence that the flower is so beautiful and conspicuous, so I pointed it to Lan Guiren and her maid, and my maid Yaner also saw it. It's really beautiful. Everyone likes it." Lin Jieyu's face is still not warm-hearted. She knew that it had been a month, and there would be no more problems. Even if there was a problem, it was speculation and no evidence could be found.
"In accordance with ordinary people's habits, Lin Jieyu should pass under the willow tree after watching the lotus flower, but why didn't Lin Jieyu go there?" Lin Jieyu was shocked by Jie's words, but she didn't expect that she had guessed this.
"I... I don't know, it's just a habit. Oh... Maybe it's because the willow branches are hanging down, and I'm afraid of the shaking on my head. Lin Jieyu began to feel a little flustered.
"The two flowers were moved from other pools and were directly inserted into the soil. They were not grown by this pool by themselves. I don't know who did it. Today, we found a compound lotus without roots. I don't know if Lin Jieyu knows who did it?" Noble Concubine looked at Lin Jieyu motionless, as if she wanted to eat her.
"I... I don't know. How can I know this kind of thing? The pond is so dirty that Noble Concubine Jie won't suspect that I went down to do it. That's too funny. I don't know anything at all..." Lin Jieyu said with a smile.
"If you want people not to know, you can't do it. Although there is no evidence, in some people's minds, it is clear who has done what they have done. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that the time has not been rerated. Those who have done evil will not have a good end. Lin Jieyu, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you to drink tea and enjoy the flowers. After saying that, Noble Concubine left quickly.
Lin Jieyu hurriedly saluted. When Noble Concubine Jie went far away, her hanging heart was relieved.
"Evil is rewarded. Are you talking about yourself? Humph, you want to hurt me, no way!"
