The heroine wants to repay

The imperial concubine died of poisoning.

The emperor was furious and demanded a thorough investigation.

The courtiers and royal family who attended the dinner that night were all anxious, fearing that an unwarranted disaster would happen to them.

For a while, the palace was heavily guarded, and Shu Man sneaked into the palace the next day, almost colliding with the patrolling guards.

Before she had time to look more, she hurriedly hid in the bedroom on one side, but she didn't want to, but heard a few maids whispering.

"Recently, the inspection of entering the palace is very strict. I want to secretly send some money to my parents, but I can't get out."

"How can we not be strict, the pastry that the imperial concubine ate last night is highly poisonous, and it can kill someone in just a quarter of an hour."

"Sigh, who is so bold to poison the imperial concubine at the dinner party?"

"I heard from the people in the imperial dining room that they made a portion of the pastries. Originally they were only served to the emperor, but the imperial concubine wanted to eat them. After tasting a piece, she died."

"No way? Someone wants to..."

"Shhh, don't tell me, didn't you notice how many people were missing in the imperial dining room this morning?"

The voices of the two became weaker and weaker, but Shu Man's eyes widened.

It seems that the target of the poisoner was the emperor, and the death of the noble concubine was just an accident.

Thinking of Jiang Fei's half-joking words last night, Shu Man felt cold.

Did the heroine want to seize power so early?

As a direct blood relative who threatened the throne, Jiang Luan might end up in the same fate as the imperial concubine.

Shu Man: 【What do you think I stole Jiang Luan out of the palace now? 】

[Steal out of the palace? 】

Shu Man: [She is so pure and kind, what if she gets involved in the vortex of seizing power! 】

[Simple and kind? 】

Shu Man: [What's your tone? 】

【I see you are quite simple and kind】

Shu Man was dumbfounded, unable to understand what the system said, so she hurried to Jiang Luan's bedroom with worries.

At the same time, the "simple and kind" Jiang Luan hugged the rabbit expressionlessly, looking down at Xianglan who was half kneeling on the ground.

"How did you do what you were asked to do?"

"I've been guarding outside the Crown Prince's womb for a long time, and I didn't find anything weird." Xiang Lan paused, with a somewhat hesitant expression, "But I found out a strange thing, it is said that the Crown Prince never asks anyone to serve him when he takes a bath. You have to do it yourself too.”

Jiang Luan frowned, it didn't sound too unusual, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"They all laughed and said that the prince loves to be so clean that he hasn't favored any girl who stays in bed." Xianglan said to herself again, "The prince will be crowned next year, and the queen has long ago chosen the prime minister's one." The only daughter is the Crown Princess, but seeing the Crown Prince's current appearance, I am afraid that he will neglect his wife after marriage."

"Next year, it's imminent." Jiang Luan pondered for a moment, and seemed to have an answer.

"Fifth princess, why did you suddenly let me stare at the prince? Could it be that he is..." Xiang Lan whispered, a little curious about Jiang Luan's intentions.

"Huh?" Jiang Luan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you really want to know?"

Xianglan sensed the danger in Jiang Luan's question, and hurriedly shook her head: "I don't want to."

"Keep staring." Jiang Luan waved his hand and glanced at the sky, "She's coming soon, don't let her see you."

Xianglan responded, stood up and patted her knees, and hurriedly left the princess mansion.

The room fell silent for a moment, Jiang Luan was thoughtful, sorting out what Xianglan said just now, and became more and more sure of his guess.

It is not allowed to get close to strangers, not to be close to women, either suffering from hidden diseases, or belonging to one's heart.

She stared at Shu Man last night, and naturally noticed that Jiang Fei's gaze had been chasing the prince.

Not only unrequited love, but the prince also seemed to respond, turning his head to look at the eaves over there from time to time, and accidentally missed that area during the final search.

Could it be that the two fell in love, and the crown prince didn't want to marry a wife, so...

Jiang Luan suddenly felt relieved.

It's best for Jiang Fei and the prince to be in love with each other, and don't miss her Shu Man.

When Shu Man arrived, Jiang Luan was bowing his head to groom the rabbit.

The afterglow of the evening fell on the top of her hair, which was soft and soft, and her whole body was glowing with golden light.

Immediately, Shu Man felt her heart warm, and she knelt down and asked her, "Did you eat well at the banquet last night?"

"Not good." Jiang Luan shook his head with aggrieved expression, "It's not good at all."

"Nonsense." Shu Man laughed at her, thinking that she could see clearly that the roast chicken in the imperial dining room could smell the meat from a long distance away.

"If it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good." Jiang Luan pursed her mouth, tilted her head, and rubbed it against Shu Man's shoulder, "I want to see you, but I can't see you, and nothing tastes good."

"Hey, where did you learn the nasty language!" Shu Man said with disgust, but she rolled her eyes with a smile, "Okay, okay, today I brought you half a squab, let's eat together."

Jiang Luan nodded obediently, and then said tentatively: "Shu Man, I seem to have seen you last night."

"Ah?" Shu Man was stunned, a little embarrassed, "Oh, I'm used to it, and I still don't feel used to it when I haven't come to see you someday."

"You came to see me?" Jiang Luan pursed her lips, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the pleasant smile, "Then...then why are there other people around you?"

"Others?" Shu Man scratched her head, not knowing how to explain Jiang Fei's identity, pretending that Jiang Luan didn't recognize her, and said casually, "I happened to meet on the road... from the same family, yes, she is also a fast arrester."

"Oh." Jiang Luan felt lost for a moment.

Shu Man actually deceived herself in order to help others conceal her identity.

"What's the matter?" Shu Man saw that she was wrong, and hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think, we don't know each other well, we really don't know each other well."

Jiang Luan didn't speak, just looked at her helplessly, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

Shu Man: [I obviously didn't do anything, why do I feel like a scumbag! 】

【Why not scum】

【People are waiting for you heartily】

【You lie on the eaves with other women and watch the moon and stars together, chatting from poems and songs to ideals in life】

Shu Man: 【I'm not, I don't! 】

"You really misunderstood!" Shu Man jumped anxiously, "She has someone she likes, we really don't matter."

"Shu Man, are you rushing to explain because you're afraid I'll misunderstand you?" Jiang Luan said suddenly, staring straight at her.

"what?"

"I'm very happy." Jiang Luan smiled lowly, and carefully hooked Shu Man's hand, "I like Shu Man very much, and Shu Man likes me, even if it's just a little bit, I'm also very happy."

Shu Man was dumbfounded. She carefully recalled what she said just now, as if she had never said anything she liked.

"Only someone who likes someone will care if she misunderstood." Jiang Luan raised her head seriously and explained her confusion.

It seems that there is a little truth in it.

Shu Man couldn't tell what was wrong, but Jiang Luan got in her again, and felt more and more that she liked her a little bit.

"Shu Man." Jiang Luan uttered again. She took Shu Man's hand, put it to her lips and kissed it gently, and asked solemnly and expectantly, "Can I be the most special?"
