Seven days.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were shocked.

The emperor looked at Shangguan Fang in surprise, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, and he was extremely surprised, "Seven days?"

Shangguan Fang gritted his teeth, "Within seven days, if the son can't pacify the merman, he should be punished." ”

"Did you know that this is a military order?"

Erchen naturally understood. ”

After listening to Shangguan Fang's words, the emperor smiled coldly, said seven or eight 'yes' in a row, and nodded again and again, "I want to see how you can pacify the mermaids in seven days." ”

After speaking, the emperor's eyes glanced at the queen mother blankly.

Why Shangguan Fang made such bold statements, even if he didn't say it, the emperor understood it in his heart.

Isn't it just to protect Lu Yunxi, who has just given birth to the son of a different pupil in this backyard?

Since he has already made such a military order, the emperor is embarrassed no matter how difficult he is, and it is difficult to speak.

He stood up, shook the long sleeves of the yellow dragon robe, and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, since this is the case, I am waiting for Fang'er's good news." As for the guests in the Queen Mother's palace, they temporarily stayed in the palace for seven days. ”

After speaking, the emperor didn't say much, only glanced at Shangguan Fang, and went out of the house.

When the emperor walked away, the Queen Mother raised her eyes worriedly and looked at Shangguan Fang, "Fang'er, do you know what you are talking about?"

Shangguan Fang stared at the Queen Mother, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and although his smile was bitter, there was no lack of hope.

"Queen Mother, this is the only way to keep Xi'er. ”

"It's only seven days, what's the use?"

The Queen Mother hung her head and sighed.

"Queen Mother, the top priority at the moment is to find out who is doing it in this palace. Why did Xi'er just enter the palace yesterday, and his father already knew about it today?"

The Queen Mother raised her head suddenly, looked forward with cold eyes, the corner of her right lip moved slightly, and snorted coldly, "Why? It's not because there is an extra pair of eyes in the palace of the mourning family for no reason! ”

The Queen Mother had just finished calling, and Mama Lu walked in quickly and bowed to the Queen Mother.

There is no need to wait for the Queen Mother to speak, Mama Lu has already said, "All the palace people are waiting outside." The Queen Mother just lectured. ”

The Queen Mother stood up with the support of Mama Lu, raised her chin, stared at the front with indifferent eyes, snorted, and said, "Go." ”

Shangguan Fang looked at the Queen Mother, who was completely different from the kind appearance in the past, and 'groaned' in his heart.

How did he forget?

Although the Queen Mother always has a smile on her face now, she looks very kind.

However, in the early years, the Queen Mother also stepped from the unfavored concubine to today's position.

Could it be that the Queen Mother's scheming city will be weaker than anyone in this palace?

You must know that the father and emperor back then were just a single prince of Shan Zhu who had no favor, and his mother had no right to speak in the harem.

Shangguan Fang hurriedly followed the Queen Mother into the courtyard, only to see that the people in the palace had already stood in the courtyard, and when they saw the Queen Mother coming out, they knelt on the ground and saluted the Queen Mother.

"Yesterday, a piece of jewelry was lost in the mourning palace. It's not a big deal, but this jewelry was given to the mourning family when the first emperor named the mourning family as a concubine. The mourning family kept it as a thought. Who the hell did you take, tell me quickly. The mourning family can be blamed for the past. ”

When the palace people heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads.

One of them looked at the familiar old grandmother raised her head and saluted the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, your bedroom has always been served by Mama Lu herself, and we are not allowed to touch our hands." ”

The Queen Mother only glanced at her, "Mama Lu has been with me for many years, if the mourning family can't trust her, there is no one in this world who can believe in the mourning family." ”

When the old lady heard this, she had to stop and bow her head again.

"Well, since I lost it yesterday. Then you will tell the mourning family about yesterday's itinerary, and the mourning family will order people to check them one by one. You are not allowed to leave half a step until you find out. ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother raised her chin to Mama Lu.

Mama Lu immediately took the tray, on which was the paper and pen that had been prepared, walked to the crowd, and distributed the pen and paper to everyone one by one.

Mama Lu walked to Caihuan's side, Caihuan glanced at the pen and paper, slowly raised her head, looked at Mama Lu with a somewhat timid look, and said cautiously, "Mama, I have been resting since I returned to the Wufang yesterday, do you want to write?"

Mama Lu's cold gaze swept back and forth on Caihuan's body, and finally nodded, "Write." ”

When Caihuan heard this, she had to pout, agreed, picked up her pen, and wrote it down.

Mama Lu turned her head sideways, glanced at the Queen Mother, her eyes moved slightly, and she nodded slightly.

The Queen Mother replied with the same action to show that she had seen it.

After Mama Lu collected everyone's movements, she entered the house with the Queen Mother.

The palace people were still kneeling outside the hall.

"Queen Mother, this color ring was also dialed to your palace just a few days ago. It doesn't take long, and it's all some clumsy work. In the past, I didn't notice it. ”

Mama Lu just entered the house and said to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, put her right hand on the table, took the tray in Mama Lu's hand, took out the piece of paper, and looked at it twice, "The more this is the case, the more likely it is that someone inserted it." Mama Lu, half an hour later, you called her in. ”

Mama Lu agreed, and hurriedly left with the tray.

Shangguan Fang was puzzled, sat next to the Queen Mother, and stopped talking several times.

"Do you want to ask the mourners why they lied to them just because they lost their jewelry?"

Shangguan Fang hurriedly shook his head, "This grandson understands." The grandson just doesn't understand, why did the Queen Mother think it was this colored ring?"

"If an ordinary person knows that the mourner's thing to be questioned is stealing, he would like to write down his whereabouts in more detail so that he can avoid being questioned. However, this colorful ring was hesitant, and he didn't even want to write it. It can be seen that she didn't go back to the Wufang yesterday at all, but went to do other things. The reason why she didn't want to write was because she was worried that if it happened in the future, she would be able to deny it. ”

Shangguan Fang listened to the Queen Mother's words and woke up like a dream.

He couldn't help but start to look at the Queen Mother in front of him again.

Since he was a child, he has always thought that the Queen Mother is the closest grandmother, and now it seems that the Queen Mother's mind is no lighter than that of any official in the previous dynasty. Such a matter related to the life of her family, the Queen Mother can see through it at a glance, which shows the depth of her mind.

Half an hour later, Mama Lu walked into the hall with a colored ring.

Caihuan lowered her head, never glanced at the Queen Mother, only bowed her head and said softly, "Say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

"What did you do last night?"

The Queen Mother's tone was still the same as before, without any waves.

Hearing this, Caihuan paused, "Slave maid...... After the slave maid went off the business yesterday, she went to the wufang to rest. ”
