Su Mengyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She put down her clothes and finally had time to rub her head. She sighed and said, "Don't say it. Before, I had to get up before dawn every day in the imperial mausoleum and serve until the middle of the night. If I don't get a good night's rest, I might die suddenly."
When she heard that Su Mengyan waited on him all night long, a gloomy look flashed across Meng Lianlian's eyes. Then she smiled and went over to help Su Mengyan put on her clothes. She also said, "Don't forget the hairpin that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave you. Put it on quickly. Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say before that if you don't keep an eye on it, he will punish you."
Su Mengyan couldn't figure it out anyway, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She casually pinned the hairpin in her hair and said casually, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Lianlian."
"What are you talking about? We are good sisters." While speaking, Meng Lianlian deliberately hugged Su Mengyan's arm.
Su Mengyan always felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say, so she just kept an eye on it secretly.
When he went to pay his respects, Situ Yao was no longer in the East Palace.
"Have you heard? The Cui family's legitimate daughter entered the palace today."
The whispers beside her reached Su Mengyan's ears.
"What do you mean by 'enter the palace'? I just came here to take a look. However, the Cui family's legitimate daughter isn't as bad as the legend says. She seems pretty good. The Cui family even wanted to send the concubine's daughter to the palace to meet the emperor in place of the legitimate daughter, but they were scolded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Cui Mixue entered the palace and was protected by Situ Yao?
Su Mengyan thought about it, wondering where the plot was going.
Because the original novel was written from Cui Mixue's perspective, so many things happened to Situ Yao, but there was no progress in his relationship with Cui Mixue. Su Mengyan was a little anxious at first, but she didn't expect the plot to have progressed to this point.
It seems that the relationship between Cui Mixue and Situ Yao is also developing steadily.
Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, as long as this matter doesn't happen to her, it's fine.
"Yan Yan." Meng Lian Lian appeared from nowhere, talking about completely different gossip: "Have you heard? Because a concubine of the Bai family spoke nonsense at the city gate, now the court officials are demanding a thorough investigation into the late crown prince's case."
Su Mengyan had experienced this herself, so she knew about it. But for Meng Lianlian, a concubine, to know about this kind of thing, it was a little wrong.
Su Mengyan glanced at her and nodded, "That girl said she met the late Crown Prince and has been acting crazy ever since."
"The man has been dealt with by Lord Bai, but they can't control the rumors outside. When the adults told the emperor about it this morning, he got really angry. In the end, he didn't say whether he would investigate or not. Tell me, what injustice could the late crown prince have suffered?" Meng Lianlian looked at her suspiciously, and after a while, as if remembering something, she slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, Yanyan, you went to the imperial mausoleum with us. Did you see the late crown prince?"
Su Mengyan always felt that something was wrong with what this person said. Now he just looked at her meaningfully, and after a while he said, "I didn't see it. I don't know what the former crown prince that girl was talking about is."
"Is that so? It seems Yanyan, you've been close to His Highness for a long time, so you're not vulnerable to these evil spirits." Meng Lianlian didn't seem to mind and continued gossiping, "I heard that there was something fishy about the death of the former crown prince."
Su Mengyan was expressionless and prepared to listen to Meng Lianlian's nonsense.
Of course there is something fishy going on, she knows it better than anyone else.
In the original novel, almost all of Situ Yao's close friends were killed by Concubine Bai.
So not only the former crown prince, but also the former queen was killed by Concubine Bai.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the tacit consent of the person above.
"Yan Yan, you really don't know?" Seeing Su Mengyan's surprised face, Meng Lianlian was also a little surprised.
She sighed and shook her head, "The late Crown Prince died in a horrible way. I heard that his body was already blurry when he was carried back. If it weren't for the trip to the Imperial Mausoleum, he wouldn't have been injured so badly by wild beasts. The Crown Prince fainted upon seeing it and became seriously ill."
Su Mengyan suddenly spoke up, tilting her head in confusion and asking, "How do you know? Didn't you enter the palace around the same time as me?"
How could someone who had only been in the palace for a short time know so much?
Meng Lianlian's expression froze for a moment, then she forced a smile at Su Mengyan and said, "Oh, of course I heard it from the seniors. They were just chatting secretly when they had nothing to do. Aren't you curious at all?"
Sighing inwardly, Su Mengyan glanced at Meng Lianlian and whispered, "Do you know why I'm not curious?"
Meng Lianlian shook her head.
"Because..." Su Mengyan lowered her voice and whispered, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discipline someone who spoke nonsense before. Do you know how he handled it?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knocked out their teeth one by one, ground them into round shapes, strung them into a ring, and strangled them to death with the ring!" Su Mengyan made a suffocating gesture.
Seeing Meng Lianlian shivering all over, he patted her shoulder and said, "So you know, I was really too scared to say anything nonsense."
"oh?"
The moment the cold man's voice came from behind her, Su Mengyan felt that she was finished.
She turned stiffly to look at Situ Yao, only to see him standing at the door with a half-smile on his face. There was a hint of amusement in his expression as he looked at them, but he did not expose Su Mengyan's lie. He simply said, "I didn't know that Concubine Su was so afraid of me."
