Chapter 1,124: Cousin Leads Us In

The palace sedan had stopped outside the palace gate. Shao Wanru got on the soft sedan and headed to Shuangxi Palace where Concubine Lan was. Along the way, the road became more and more deserted. In the end, there were almost no palace people passing by.

The palace gate of Shuangxi Palace has finally arrived.

Shao Wanru supported Yu Jie's hand and got out of the sedan chair. After standing still, he frowned and happened to see a familiar figure who looked like Shao Yanru.

There was a hint of tranquility in his eyes. Shao Yanru seemed to have noticed this Concubine Lan very early. At that time, no one in the palace even knew about Concubine Lan. How did Shao Yanru discover and think that Concubine Lan was there? Extraordinary?

"Who is that?" Shao Wanru asked.

Qingmu who came out looked at the direction Shao Wanru pointed and said with a smile, "It's just a palace man. There are many palace people wandering outside the palace gate these days, but they are all driven away by the guards!"

When Qingmu said this, Shao Wanru's eyes also fell on the four guards guarding the palace gate.

He hesitated slightly.

"Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty has already given the order and I won't stop you anymore!" Aoki explained cleverly.

Shao Wanru was silent for a moment and walked slowly inside. It seemed that Concubine Lan was much more powerful than she thought.

The four guards looked at the other side intently and did not reach out to stop anyone. Shao Wanru led Yu Jie into the Shuangxi Palace, which was currently in the limelight.

The layout of Shuangxi Palace is not gorgeous. Many places can be seen to be old, but it is still very clean. Concubine Lan, who is sitting in the main hall, is also wearing plain clothes as always. If she didn't know it in advance, she might not have guessed it. Her identity is the most eye-catching Concubine Lan at the moment.

After Shao Wanru bowed, he sat down next to Concubine Lan as instructed.

"Princess Chen, I have brought you here today because I really have something important to tell you. If what I said is wrong, please do it for the sake of King Chen, so I can be considerate."

Lan Fei got straight to the point, her words were polite, but her meaning was patiently explored.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Shao Wanru nodded.

"Go and ask Miss Cousin to come out!" Concubine Lan ordered Qingmu with a smile on her face.

Aoki hesitated for a moment, but still entered the inner hall, and soon brought a beautiful girl into the main hall.

A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with outstanding looks, even comparable to Shao Yanru. Shao Wanru had never seen this woman before.

"I've met my aunt according to my words!" The woman came forward gracefully and bowed Yingying.

"Come here according to my words, I have met Princess Chen!" Empress Lan Fei said gently with a smile.

"Yi Yan, I have met Princess Chen!" The woman turned around and bowed to Shao Wanru sideways, her eyes watery.

Shao Wanru nodded, but did not speak. He waited quietly for Empress Lan Fei's words. A trace of displeasure flashed in his heart. Both Empress Dowager and Empress Lan Fei's goals seemed very clear at the moment. They all wanted to force themselves to kill people. Claiming her back, she was all planning to give it to Chu Liuchen as a concubine, how could she like her.

"Princess Chen, Yiyan is the niece of my mother-in-law and the cousin of King Chen. When we were young, the two of us played together. Later, my mother-in-law moved away from the capital. At that time, the two of us were still reluctant to leave, hugging each other and crying together. There was nothing we could do. We just separated, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye!"

Concubine Lan sighed.

Shao Wanru gently squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, and there was a sense of ridicule in his heart. This was like a lover's separation, but they were just two children who didn't understand anything. To say that there was true love, this was clearly the introduction. .

Originally, she respected Concubine Lan from the bottom of her heart. Although Chu Liuchen was displeased and asked her to stay away from Concubine Lan, thinking that it must be her aunt, she was really unhappy at this time.

"She has only arrived in Beijing a few days ago. I have asked for the emperor's grace in the past two days to let her live temporarily in Shuangxi Palace. But as a woman, it is not appropriate for her to live here all the time. You can take her back later. , I will stay in Prince Chen's Mansion for the time being. It is not safe for her as a single girl to live outside."

Concubine Lan ordered with a smile, her eyes falling on Qin Yiyan, her eyes gentle.

Shao Wanru was almost angry. Concubine Lan was planning to accept her, so she sent him to Prince Chen's Mansion. Moreover, she was sure that when she entered the palace, she was afraid that Chu Liuchen would refuse.

The persimmons are also soft to pinch!

"Concubine Lan... I'm afraid this won't work..." Shao Wanru shook his head and refused, "The prince has the final say on everything in the house. The prince always likes to be quiet. If you disturb his peace without his consent, I will I don’t even dare!”

Concubine Lan's smile froze on her face and she looked at Shao Wanru in shock, almost not believing that Shao Wanru would say such words in front of her.

Qin Yiyan's face also turned red, and her eyes were full of water, but she didn't dare to cry out, biting the corners of her lips hard to suppress her aggrieved look.

Just such a look made people think that she was obviously wronged, but she didn't say anything. She had a very gentle temperament and was kind-hearted.

This was the first time that Shao Wanru saw so much grievance on someone else's face. Without saying a word, he had already settled the accusation against himself.

This woman is not simple!

"She just lives in the most remote corner of your house, and I won't disturb you. I'm just afraid that as a girl, she will get into trouble easily outside, and there are no elders around her. King Chen is always her cousin. So what if we stay here for a few days at this time!"

Concubine Lan finally laughed again, but her words were somewhat displeased, almost scolding Shao Wanru.

"Empress, I really can't make the decision in this matter!" Shao Wanru lowered his head and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"You..." Lan Fei was furious.

"Aunt, please calm down. Don't be angry. It's Yi Yan's fault that you're so angry. Yi Yan can just rent a yard outside. There's no need to bother my cousin or sister-in-law!" Qin Yiyan accepted Lan Fei softly. The empress said, she walked behind Concubine Lan, gently tapped her back twice, and comforted her.

Concubine Lan pursed her lips and stopped talking. After a long time, she slowly said: "I know that King Chen has a grudge against me, but blood is thicker than water. Is it possible that I will harm King Chen? My own cousin, We don’t have a place to live right now, so even if Princess Chen asked the emperor to live in it, the emperor would say the same thing!”

Shao Wanru felt a thump in her heart. It seemed that she was prepared for this. If the emperor agreed, she would not be able to refuse. It would be useless to push it to Chu Liuchen.

If it's true as Concubine Lan said, it's really just a temporary stay, and it doesn't make sense if she doesn't even give her this little favor.

"Why did Miss Qin arrive in the capital alone?" Shao Wanru asked softly, neither saying yes nor not.

"Yiyan hasn't seen my aunt for a long time. I miss her so much. This time I came to the capital specifically to see my aunt!" Qin Yiyan calmed down the previous grievances and even had a smile on his face. Although It was a bit reluctant, but it was obvious that she sincerely showed that she didn't care about what Shao Wanru said just now.

But how could he really not care? Who would not care if he was so disliked in person, let alone a young girl.

Only people like this are more reassuring.

Concubine Lan secretly nodded, agreeing very much with her niece. Of course, she preferred her niece in her heart. In fact, it was her nephew who was the first one to make an appointment. However, things changed so much later that this matter came to light. It's nothing.

Of course, she brought Qin Yiyan to Beijing this time not just to see her niece, but also because Concubine Lan wanted her niece to enter Prince Chen's Mansion. This is very important, especially at such a critical time. Just err on the side of caution.

After so many years, she has also known Chu Liuchen's temperament. If she asked him to take the person away, he would definitely ignore it, so she thought of starting with Shao Wanru. Unexpectedly, Shao Wanru would dare to refuse in person. Concubine Lan His face was very confused.

She really had no way to deal with Chu Liuchen, but in front of her was Shao Wanru, and she still didn't believe that she had nothing to do with Shao Wanru!

"Princess Chen, if you can stay in Prince Chen's Mansion temporarily, you will definitely thank your cousin and the princess!" Qin Yiyan said again, looking at Shao Wanru with a bit of longing in his eyes, as if Shao Wanru would not agree if he didn't agree. Too much.

"Princess Chen, let Yi Yan stay in your house temporarily. If you really don't want to, you can find a place in a few days and then move out!" said Concubine Lan.

Shao Wanru's eyes flashed, and he already had an idea. The emperor had already agreed. Chu Liuchen's insistence on disagreeing would make people feel too callous. After all, this "cousin" seemed to be gentle and knowledgeable.

Cousins, cousins, etc., their favorite place to live is their cousin’s house.

It's just that there are elders in other houses, but in Prince Chen's house, his cousin is in charge.

"In that case, Miss Qin will follow me back home!" Shao Wanru stood up, bowed to Concubine Lan, and said goodbye, "I sat in the Cining Palace of the Imperial Grandmother for a while, and now I feel tired. I want to Take Miss Qin back as soon as possible, and I hope Concubine Lan will forgive me."

Since Shao Wanru agreed, Concubine Lan showed a smile on her face and nodded gently: "In that case, let's go back first. Your health is not good yet. It is true that I didn't think carefully. Qingmu, please send Chen princess!"

This niece-in-law seems to be good at the moment. She actually has other plans, but she can't tell Princess Chen. After all, Princess Chen is still young, and Concubine Lan feels that she doesn't trust her. How to say something, how to do something, or not. It's good to say it so clearly, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. There are more people in the palace with mixed opinions.

What could be more reassuring than having your own niece enter Prince Chen's Mansion?

Concubine Lan thought so, so she sent Shao Wanru out of the house with a smile on her face.

When Shao Wanru came over, there were only two masters and servants. When he came back, he brought another pair of masters and servants. After entering Prince Chen's Mansion through the side door, Qin Yiyan, who had been following her silently, suddenly said, "Oh! "A loud sound was made...
