Chapter 006 The Concubine is Missing
Han Rui looked at the third princess in front of her again.
Since childhood, he has regarded Princess Churui's followers as less favored than Princess Churui, but he is full of thoughtfulness. For example, if he sends a fairly good ginseng now, he will take away a lot of good things from him later.
"I accept Third Sister's wishes."
The third princess looked around at the palace servants and said, "You all go down, I want to have a good talk with the second sister."
After receiving Yan Zhi's look for instructions, Han Rui nodded slightly.
Everyone in the palace retreated, and the candlelight illuminated the two of them particularly tenderly.
The third princess took a step closer and looked at the door, as if she was afraid of someone eavesdropping.
"Second sister, I overheard my mother asking Uncle Dongting to find an opportunity to attack my brother-in-law."
Her big eyes sparkled with cunning, making Han Rui move to the side involuntarily.
But he asked very anxiously: "Is it true or false? How did you get this news?"
The usually honest third princess was not honest at all, and she dared to inquire about news from the Queen Mother.
Remembering that the original owner insisted on letting Ling Xin be his consort, wasn't she the one who instigated it?
Not only was the original owner the most noble woman in the world, why was Ling Xin not moved? He even asked about Ling Xin's news from time to time and told her about it. He also repeatedly arranged for the two of them to meet by chance when Ling Xin entered the palace. Ling Xin was already
He was so handsome, but over time, the original owner actually fell in love with him.
The third princess said mysteriously: "I accidentally saw my brother-in-law entering the palace. I was afraid that my mother would embarrass him, so I asked someone to inquire with the people in my mother's palace."
The Queen Mother asked Cousin Can to make plans before taking action. The third princess could easily find out about such confidential matters, and the Zhaoyang Palace, which looked like an iron barrel, was actually a sieve.
Han Rui couldn't help but shudder. Growing up, the original owner had shouldered many responsibilities for the third princess. This time, she told herself the news. What did she want?
She looked suspiciously at the radiant and beautiful woman in front of her, clearly seeing envy, jealousy and burning ambition in her eyes.
She immediately looked sad and angry: "How could the Queen Mother do this? She wants my consort to die. I want to ask the Queen Mother."
As soon as she stood up, she was grabbed by the third princess.
The third princess's scrutinizing gaze was obviously very satisfied with her performance, and she immediately added to her jealousy: "Second sister, have you forgotten that at the beginning, the queen mother wanted Uncle Dong Ting to be your consort, so as to continue the glory of the Jiang family?"
She is seductive and her sweet voice carries a hint of sweet temptation.
"Hmph, you dare to touch my consort, I want the Jiang family to look good."
At this moment, her demeanor was exactly like the arrogant and domineering appearance of the original owner.
The smile on the third princess's lips deepened.
"The second sister has a deep love for the prince-in-law. Doesn't the younger sister know that there is no way she can really let her brother-in-law encounter any unexpected events, so she immediately sent someone to reveal the news to Chang Shan, who is next to her brother-in-law."
She finished speaking tentatively, staring at Han Rui's expression as she spoke.
The feeling of being treated as a fool is really bad.
The original owner was born into a royal family and had been distinguished since he was a child. Why is his IQ so low?
But at this moment, she still had to be careful with this good sister. She didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
"Fortunately, I have a third sister. If Lord Marquis comes back safely, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you."
The anxiety on her face turned into surprise.
A trace of disdain flashed in the third princess' big eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"We are sisters, so we have to pay attention to the second sister."
After finally sending away the third princess, Han Rui was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to sit down, but the news she just heard made her feel shocked.
"Rouge, go and secretly invite Aunt Qiu Chan, who is beside your mother, to come over." The night was as cold as water, and Qiu Chan, dressed like an ordinary palace servant, followed Rouge in from the back door of Churui Palace.
Han Rui was leaning on the couch and fell asleep. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes and suddenly became energetic.
"Rouge, go and guard the door."
Seeing how serious she was, Qiu Chan couldn't help but hold her breath and concentrate.
"Three younger sisters came to visit me just now. I just know that Queen Mother has another arrangement for the Marquis."
She raised the topic and Qiu Chan forced out a smile: "The Queen Mother is also for the overall situation."
Han Rui didn't answer, her smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and she just looked at Qiu Chan. The little girl who used to be arrogant and domineering was looking at her quietly today. Her calmness and calmness were like that of the Queen Mother. Qiu Chan couldn't help but
He stood up straighter and looked more respectful.
"Since the mother made arrangements, it was easy for Third Sister to find out the news. Not only that, Third Sister also passed the news to the people around the Marquis."
She downplayed it, but Qiu Chan felt as if he was struck by five thunders, and his face turned as white as snow for an instant, "There are actually people in Zhaoyang Palace who are cheating."
"Since Auntie knows the importance of this matter, she should go back immediately and handle it properly. As for Third Sister, I don't think there is any need to alarm."
"yes."
Qiu Chan left in a hurry.
Due to the discomfort, she had a very peaceful sleep all night. When she opened her eyes, the sun was already shining in. Rouge directed the palace attendants to help her get up.
Entering Zhaoyang Palace, the young emperor had already gone to listen to the master's lecture. The queen mother was reviewing the papers. Han Rui greeted him respectfully. The queen mother's eyes were gentle and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Mother, my daughter is much better."
The Queen Mother put down the memorial in her hand, waved her hand, and everyone in the palace retreated.
"Now that Ling Xin knows the news, I'm afraid your cousin Can is in danger, and Xuancheng is also in danger. The Ai family has just sent General Ding to go there with 50,000 people."
No amount of makeup and powder could cover the vicissitudes of life between her eyebrows, and the blue shadows under her eyes showed that she had not slept last night.
"Mother, my sons and ministers failed to share the burden for you. If my daughter hadn't touched Mrs. Liu, she wouldn't have reached this point. My daughter is really heartbroken."
The original owner is indeed a brainless princess.
Didn't all of this start with Liu's murder?
The Queen Mother touched her little face lovingly, "Are you afraid?"
Han Rui shook her head firmly. If the deposed prince really colluded with Ling Xin and occupied the capital, he might not end well.
Alas, if I had known that I was going to read the book, why couldn't I have waited until I finished reading it?
"Okay, you stay safely in Churui Palace. Ling Xin will be able to arrive in Xuancheng this evening."
"Queen Mother, where is Third Sister?"
The Queen Mother frowned and said with great disgust: "The Ai family has underestimated her. The Zhaoyang Palace is full of old people who are used to it. She can still get information from the Ai family. Since you have an idea, give it to her."
You handle it."
"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother."
By the time Ling Xin arrived at Xuancheng, the defender of Xuancheng had already been killed. The deposed prince occupied Xuancheng without much effort and planned to seize the capital.
For several days, Han Rui stayed in Churui Palace except for daily greetings. The third princess was a frequent visitor here. The two sisters were either playing chess or visiting the spring imperial garden together. They were not worried about the current situation at all.
When the eunuchs of Zhaoyang Palace found Han Rui in the imperial garden in a hurry, he was running out of breath.
"This slave has met the second and third princesses."
"What are you so worried about?"
The third princess held a delicate peony and spoke first.
The little eunuch quickly raised his head and glanced at Han Rui, then lowered his head.
"Is there something going on there, Queen Mother?"
