Empress difficult

"The maidservant has a friend who is the eunuch in the palace. On the day the post was assassinated, the two had a private tryst. Unexpectedly, the maidservant died a few days later. Food is taboo in the palace, and the eunuch dared not speak out for fear of being implicated. The truth."

"Have you seen the eunuch?"

"A eunuch was lost in the palace, didn't you find it?"

Mengyan: "..."

Xie Youan asked carefully: "What did you do to him?"

"Just normal torture."

Mengyan: "..."

Meng Yan sighed: "To be honest, it's fortunate that you are standing with me, otherwise it would be too scary..."

Xie Youan then repeated: "Terrible..."

Jing Yuanbai looked calm, and didn't think there was anything wrong.He is used to coming and going freely, acting according to his own mind and not being restrained by others.Usually I always come at night, because I don't want to get involved with other people in the palace, so as to save a lot of trouble.I don't want to break in directly today...

Meng Yan had a headache: "You broke in so openly, there are countermeasures, right?"

Jing Yuanbai was silent for a moment: "You should know that I used to have some connections with the court. But I don't want to be involved with the court anymore."

"so!?"

Jing Yuanbai sighed: "But in the end, I still can't worry about you...Girl, I will go to the palace to help you, are you willing?"

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded wildly: "Of course it's good! With you here, I feel more at ease!"

Meng Yan was happy for a while, before she realized it, and asked: "But will this embarrass you? You don't want to have anything to do with the imperial court, and now you want to do something you don't like, won't you be happy?"

Jing Yuanbai rubbed the top of her head: "That emperor mother of yours is irresponsible, she left this mess to you, and left without saying anything. I will help you, and I will return it to you when you can carry it. My rivers and lakes go."

Meng Yan's heart was filled with a bit of sour happiness, she sniffed and said with a smile: "You are going to do what my emperor's mother didn't do."

Like a father.

Meng Yan's heart skipped a beat, Jing Yuanbai really looked like a father to him.

Meng Yan changed the subject in a panic: "Let's talk about that eunuch."

Jing Yuanbai said: "The eunuch is still tied to me, and I have asked all the questions I can ask, including the posture of him eating with that maidservant."

Xie Youan coughed: "It goes without saying."

Jing Yuan glanced at her in vain: "You don't want to hear it as a reference?"

Meng Yan retracted her illusion just now.No father would say such a thing, right?

Xie Youan's face flushed red with embarrassment, and he dreamed, "Let's get down to business!"

Jing Yuanbai looked at Xie You'an teasingly, and Xie You'an was embarrassed enough, before continuing: "Originally they made an appointment to meet the day before, but this maidservant never showed up that day. According to past habits, he was still waiting at the same place the next day. Then, after meeting her sweetheart, the two went on a date. So it was not her turn to leave the palace that night, but she ran out."

"Why didn't you go the day before?"

"Jinyoufang wants to rush to make a pearl hairpin. It is urgent and has to stay up all night to do it."

"Who wants the pearl hairpin?"

"I don't know. The eunuch didn't ask so many questions. Now I want to ask, but no one can answer him."

"In short, someone knew that she was going to a private meeting, and deliberately delayed her so that she would still leave the palace the next day. In this way, someone would override that person's record of leaving the palace and take the blame for him."

Xie You'an continued, "The point is, where did that man leave the palace?"

Meng Yan and Xie Youan looked at each other.

Xie You'an said, "Zhan Tianyi is lying?"

"Not necessarily. But if you invite Zhan Tianyi over here, I'll ask him."

Jing Yuanbai suddenly said: "Since you are going back, how about entrusting this matter to me?"

Meng Yan immediately shook her head: "I refuse!"

Xie You'an: "I absolutely can't leave it to you!"

Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows in vain, without much embarrassment, Xinxin said: "I know how to measure, don't you believe this?"

"Believe me, but your behavior is really deviant and far from orthodox. I will investigate this matter myself, and you must not interfere."

"I say no?"

Mengyan: "..."

Uncle, please stop making trouble...

Xie Youan stood up: "I'm going to find Zhan Tianyi now! Let's ask ourselves first, if we can't find out, will you go on stage again?"

Jing Yuan smiled and said: "You are all on the same page."

Can you not be angry!A bed of people!Xie You'an and Meng Yan exchanged glances and went out.

Meng Yan waited for Xie You'an to chat with Jing Yuan Bai, seemingly unintentionally: "Uncle, what did you do before?"

Jing Yuanbai poured himself a cup of tea: "It's nothing important."

"Then where were you before?"

Jing Yuanbai glanced at her: "I want to ask why I appear now?"

was ripped apart...

Meng Yan was a little embarrassed: "Yeah, you came out of nowhere and helped me so much, I must be a little curious!"

Jing Yuanbai pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "There is no special reason. The new emperor ascended the throne, and he always wanted to come and see. After seeing it, he thought, why don't you stay and help you. You are still young, and you can't handle many things. , it’s much better to have someone around you than to fumble around by yourself.”

This was said lightly, with no ups and downs, but it was enough to touch people's hearts.

Jing Yuanbai smiled: "It's still the same sentence, this should be your emperor's mother's business, but she left, so I can only do it for her."

Meng Yan's heart was flickering, like swinging on a swing, without a solid place to stay.

Meng Yan asked: "What's your relationship with the emperor's mother? Why do you help her complete the task?"

Jing Yuanbai nodded on her head: "Guess what it is."

What does it mean?

Jing Yuanbai sighed, long and deep, as if he wanted to go back to the distant past: "Actually, girl, guessing these things is useless."

Then, just go with the wind.

Xie You'an invited Zhan Tianyi, and when he came back, his face was not very good.Meng Yan reckoned that she met Princess Cong Yun halfway, so she was really curious, how did she deal with Princess Cong Yun in private, just as cold and hard as in front of her?Will it ease up?

Xie You'an raised his head to match Meng Yan's gaze, and there was a bit of grievance in his eyes.

Meng Yan was instantly happy, and she didn't know how Princess Cong Yun made things difficult for her.

In fact, Zhan Tianyi didn't have any serious illness, but he was timid and frightened.Invited by Xie You'an, seeing the sun and blowing the wind for a while, he was much more energetic than the previous few days.

Meng Yan gave up his seat, no matter how he looked at it, he regretted that he was impulsive and wanted to marry Princess Xian to her.

Meng Yan avoided those hypocrisy, and asked bluntly: "The mission wants to ask for an explanation, and the prince has to cooperate. Before you were assassinated, you really didn't meet anyone?"

Zhan Tianyi rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Meng Yan frowned: "What are you hesitating for?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, he panicked.

Meng Yan and Xie You'an looked at each other, there was indeed a problem.

Jing Yuanbai came out from behind the screen, Zhan Tianyi only took one look, and then slipped to the ground in fright.Zhan Tianyi hid in the opposite direction with hands and feet, pointed at Jing Yuanbai, turned around and complained tremblingly to Meng Yan: "It's this person! It's him the second time!"

Jing Yuanbai smiled at him.

Zhan Tianyi almost cried.

Meng Yan asked behind him: "Then who was it the first time?"

"Yes……"

Stop talking, but it's too late.Xie Youan helped him up and let him sit on the chair.The seemingly simple movement, Meng Yan knew, Xie You'an's strength was enough to pose a threat to him.

Under pressure from three sides, Zhan Tianyi collapsed.

Zhan Tianyi looked at Mengyan pleadingly: "Don't force me, it's not a bad person who came here, and it won't do any of you any good to ask!"

Meng Yan raised her eyebrows: "Then I'm surprised, who is it that can make the prince protect you so much?"

Xie Youan frowned: "Could it be that you are a collaborator and traitor?"

Zhan Tianyi: "You guys think too much! It's not that complicated!"

Jing Yuanbai took two steps forward: "Little emperor, if he doesn't say anything, then I will take this person away."

Often the crudest is also the most effective.

Zhan Tianyi hurriedly begged for mercy: "I say I say!"

Zhan Tianyi looked at the three people in the hall, no matter which one he couldn't afford to offend.He wiped his face and said.

"It's yours, Princess Xian."
