Chapter 233 The only clue

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Yuan Yi, the guard Yuan?"

Song Baoling finally asked the question, although she knew that this might make Concubine Lou Gui sad, but in order to rescue her from the cold palace as soon as possible, she had to bring up the past again.

However, Concubine Lou Gui didn't react too much, and she was only slightly taken aback when she heard the name 'Yuan Yi'.

"I heard that he passed away a year ago. Where did you know that?"

Song Baoling didn't answer her, but took out the silk handkerchief hidden in his bosom, "Your Majesty, the mother of Guard Yuan gave me a silk handkerchief with the Queen's name embroidered on it, can this thing prove your innocence?"

Concubine Lou reached for the silk handkerchief, and after a moment of silence, she fumbled for the candlestick and lit the silk handkerchief.

"Miss!"

Looking at the Sipa that was burning quickly, Song Baoling reached out to snatch it back without thinking, but Concubine Lou Gui grabbed her hands.

In the end, she could only watch Sipa burn to ashes.

"My lady, why are you doing this?"

Concubine Lou lowered her eyes and chuckled silently, "Actually, I knew early on that it was Qi'er who asked you to help, and wanted to find out the truth and clear my innocence, and take me out of the cold palace."

"But I think it's good to stay in the limbo, and I don't want to dwell on the past anymore, so just pretend you don't know anything and let this matter stop here."

Song Baoling didn't expect her to be so open-minded, allowing outsiders to frame her reputation, she just wanted to stay in this world.

But Yemuqi is the crown prince, as long as someone wants his position, one day he will take advantage of Concubine Lou's affair with the guards to deal with him.

"Song Baoling?! How could you..."

Yemuqi's voice came from the door, Song Baoling turned his head to see him, before he could speak, the other party suddenly rushed to her, looking her up and down excitedly.

"Great, you're alive, my people say you're trapped in the fire, I thought you were... Anyway, it's great that you're okay."

Seeing that he was so happy, Song Baoling couldn't help but also laughed, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have always been blessed and lucky, and I don't die so easily."

"That's right, what about Mr. Jun?"

"He still has things to do, he'll be back later."

Concubine Lou Gui who was at the side heard the conversation between the two, and accused her in a serious tone: "Qi'er, how could you get Ling'er involved in such a dangerous matter."

"Mother, the child just wants to..."

"Don't explain, I don't know you yet? You must have threatened Ling'er to help her, otherwise she just came to Xianqi Kingdom, why did she get into all these troubles?"

Yemuqi's face was a little ugly, Song Baoling glanced at him, then turned to Lou Guifei and explained: "Your Majesty, it was indeed His Highness who asked me to help at first, but now I have decided to clear up your grievances."

"no!"

Concubine Lou refused resolutely, "Ling'er, the royal infighting is not as simple as you think, I don't want you and Qi'er to be in danger."

"Now that I'm used to living in the cold palace, I don't want to go out to get involved in right and wrong, any grievances, just don't worry about it anymore."

After she finished speaking, she still didn't forget to tell Yemuqi: "Qi'er, promise mother and concubine that you will never involve irrelevant people in the future, okay?"

Although Yemuqi was not reconciled, he had no choice but to agree to Concubine Lou Gui's request.

"Okay, my child promises you."

After coming out of the cold palace, Song Baoling saw that Yemuqi was in a bad mood, and when he was about to comfort him, he was the one step ahead.

"The queen has already gone back, you can go back to the hotel with peace of mind, and..."

Yemuqi suddenly stopped and took a deep breath, and continued: "Thank you for the mother concubine's matter, and you don't need to continue the investigation afterwards."

After speaking, Yemuqi turned around and left without waiting for Song Baoling's response.

Song Baoling watched his back getting farther and farther away, and felt a little uncomfortable, just like what she said to Concubine Lou just now, she really wanted to help now.

It's a pity that the only evidence has been burned to ashes, and we can only discuss it in the future.

"You still know how to come back."

As soon as she entered the door, Song Baoling was scolded by the people in the room. When she looked up, Shu Ning was still waiting for her in the room.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Shu Ning glanced at her, and then motioned her to sit down, "The queen came to see you just now, and I lied that I sent you to buy incense powder from my hometown, but the queen seems to be suspicious."

"Tell me, what have you been doing for so long?"

Song Baoling lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, and said, "Thank you princess for helping me deal with the queen, as for the others, please forgive me for not being able to tell."

Seeing this situation, Shu Ning felt a little upset, but since Song Baoling had helped her before, it's not good to tear her face because of this.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it, but I'm warning you, this is Xianqi Country, don't get me involved."

"Yes, I will be careful, and I will never hurt the princess."

With Song Baoling's guarantee, Shu Ning stopped pursuing the matter and stood up proudly to return to her room.

The past two days have been full of twists and turns, but the incident of the fire yesterday also indirectly shows that Concubine Lou Gui was indeed framed, and this incident has something to do with the Queen.

"Ugh……"

Lying on the bed, Song Baoling raised his hand and looked at his fingers and said to himself: "There are more and more troublesome things, when will I be able to go back..."

The next day, when the emperor was reviewing the memorial in his study, several colorful butterflies suddenly flew out of the window. The whole scene was breathtaking.

The emperor was fascinated by watching, and the graceful posture of Concubine Lou dancing among countless butterflies gradually emerged in his mind.

At that time, except for Lou Guifei's figure, everything seemed to have disappeared. Now, after many years, that feeling is still unforgettable for him.

"when!"

The sudden sound disturbed the butterflies, and the emperor saw that they became extremely agitated, and then they all flew out of the window.

He turned his head in displeasure, and saw that the little eunuch who accidentally made a noise was about to scold him, but suddenly felt that this move was very naive, so he endured and continued to read the memorial.

"Empress, I heard that there was a vision from heaven just now."

"What kind of vision is it?"

"The servant girl also heard from other people that when the emperor was reading the memorial this morning, countless butterflies suddenly flew to the study room. It was very miraculous."

The queen was startled by the movements of her hands, and looked up at the maid Hongyu, "What did you say? A butterfly flew in front of the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, the slaves also listened to what they said, but I think they should be right."

Knowing that it was true, the queen became vigilant and immediately found someone to hunt and kill all the butterflies near the royal study.

In the middle of the night, the emperor, who was about to go to bed, suddenly smelled a unique and soothing fragrance of flowers. The fragrance of flowers was so refreshing that it relieved his tired body and mind a lot.

Not only that, when he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep very quickly. Before that, he had suffered from insomnia for several days.
