Concubine Liu Xian said, "In this harem, it is not easy for anyone to kill one or two people, something happened in the imperial dining room, and the person in charge is still alive and well." ”

If the Queen Mother really helped Concubine Li Guifei, what she had to do was to kill the steward of the imperial dining room, because no matter whether she killed or not, no one would save the life of the imperial dining room steward.

But if the steward of the imperial dining room dies, there is no evidence of death, and this case may not be found on the heads of the Duke of Yongguo and the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother did not kill the steward of the imperial dining room......

Why is that?

Are you afraid that someone will find out and anger the emperor?

The queen mother has also been in this harem for decades, longer than any of them, and she is afraid of being discovered if she kills one or two people, and she is a new palace maid and eunuch.

Concubine Liu Xian felt that the Queen Mother did not kill the steward of the imperial dining room, most likely because of Empress Zhao.

Because the emperor said that if this case cannot be found, he will ask Empress Zhao to hand over the phoenix seal.

The Zhao family is in turmoil, and there is no sign of improvement so far, if Empress Zhao hands over the phoenix seal again, then the prince's position as the prince is really in jeopardy.

Compared with the position of Fengyin and the prince, what is a small imperial dining room?

Concubine Liu Xian stopped at the point, and Concubine Li's face was already black as if she hadn't washed it for decades.

Concubine Liu Xian didn't say it, she really didn't notice it at all, when did the Queen Mother's means become so weak?

Concubine Liu Xian continued, "Sister, don't be too angry, this is just my guess, maybe I think too much." ”

Li Guifei laughed, "I'm not as transparent as my sister." ”

Whether she guessed correctly, or thought too much, she didn't have no way to verify it.

If Empress Zhao had found out the case of the imperial dining room and recovered all the oil and water that had been greedy for ink for so many years, without implicating the Queen Mother, it would have been a sure thing for the Queen Mother and Queen Zhao to join forces a long time ago.

She just waits and sees.

She waited for this time.

After sitting for a while and teasing the little prince for a while, Li Guifei really likes the little prince, because his birth broke the court situation, making her invincible.

This little prince is simply a lucky star for her and the third prince.

She hopes more than anyone else that he can live a healthy life and live until the day when she sees Empress Zhao and the prince's party collapse.

In the Yongning Palace, Empress Zhao was discussing the matter of the imperial dining room with the Queen Mother.

Empress Zhao was embarrassed, "I don't know who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall to attack the imperial dining room, and the emperor handed over this matter to me to investigate, and if I couldn't find out, let me hand over the phoenix seal, I thought about it all night, except for the white head, there is no way at all." ”

She definitely can't hand over the phoenix seal, but let the Queen Mother and the Duke of Yongguo pour out the oil and water that they ate into their stomachs again, and the Queen Mother and the Duke of Yongguo may not be willing.

Empress Zhao is really in a dilemma.

The Queen Mother's face was tense, she glanced at Mama Xu, and said, "Take the box." ”

Mama Xu brought the box.

Empress Zhao looked at the box, her eyes flashed, isn't this the box that the old princess sent to the palace, and I don't know what it contains?

When she saw clearly that it was a box of silver tickets, with a full amount of 600,000 taels, Queen Zhao couldn't help but gasp.

It is worthy of leaving the palace, that is, it is wealthy.

"Queen Mother, you ....... ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the box, took her eyes away, and said, "You know what the mourning family wants, and what is 600,000 taels." ”

Empress Zhao's heart fell back into her stomach for a long time, and she said, "I'm afraid that 600,000 taels won't be able to plug the hole in the imperial dining room." ”

The imperial dining room is the place with the largest oil and water in the palace, and the queen mother has been in charge for 20 years, and she is only greedy for 30,000 taels of ink a year, is it possible?

The Queen Mother's face turned pale.

Empress Zhao hurriedly changed her words and said, "Although the concubines go to check, they will be sent to you." ”

After speaking, he quickly asked the palace maid to hold the box tightly and bring it back to Fengluan Palace.

As soon as she walked on the front foot, Li Guifei came again on the back foot.

When the Queen Mother saw her, her face was unprecedentedly good, and Concubine Li Guifei also acted as if she was fine, and said, "The queen is here, but it's for the case of the imperial dining room?"

The Queen Mother nodded, "The emperor used the phoenix seal to force the queen to investigate the case, how dare she not be unwilling." ”

Concubine Li Guifei said, "The imperial dining room is the territory of the Queen Mother, since you promised to help me and the third prince, I can't help but repay the peach, and I will let people kill the steward of the imperial dining room later, and then the case will not be investigated, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Li Guifei's tone was relaxed, and the Queen Mother said busily, "Don't be reckless." ”

The smile on Li Guifei's face froze, "Why?"

The queen mother said, "How could the queen not guess that the mourning family has the heart to destroy the steward of the imperial dining room, and send someone to keep an eye on it, just wait for the mourning family to throw themselves into the net, you send it, and the queen will not ......." ”

Li Guifei interrupted the Queen Mother with a smile, "The Queen Mother is too underestimated of me, in this harem, I have also been camping for almost twenty years, secretly killing people, and I can still let the queen find out?

As she spoke, Concubine Li got up, as if she couldn't wait to give orders.

The Queen Mother said with a cold face, "In this harem, the mourning family has been staying longer than you, don't be rash, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, doesn't Concubine Li understand?

A cold glint flashed in Concubine Li's eyes, and no one noticed.

Concubine Liu Xian is right, the Queen Mother and Queen Zhao have long been in the same boat.

If she hadn't reminded her, she might have been sold and given back the money.

Thinking in her heart, Concubine Li Guifei pressed down and did not move, and said with panic on her face, "What the Queen Mother taught me is that the concubines are in a hurry. ”

The Queen Mother's face softened and said, "The mourning family also knows that you have been pressed by the queen all these years, and you have been wronged in your heart, and you have endured it for so many years, so why rush these days?"

Concubine Li nodded, "Concubine and endure for a while." ”

It's just that I endured it for a while, and the steward of the imperial dining room over there confessed.

The steward of the imperial dining room admitted that he was greedy for ink, and he also recruited the main messenger behind him, but that person was not the queen mother, nor was he the prince of Yongguo, the death of the steward of the imperial dining room.

He insisted that it was Gonggong Fu who instructed him to be greedy for ink.

In previous years, he kept a little bit of the money he was greedy for, and handed over the rest to Father-in-law Fu.

After saying the instruct, the steward of the imperial dining room bit his tongue and committed suicide.

According to the confession of the father-in-law of the steward of the imperial dining room, Empress Zhao dug out the savings of the steward of the imperial dining room for so many years from under a poplar tree in the courtyard of his residence, which was 580,000 taels.

A man is dying, and his words are good.

Empress Zhao went to the emperor with the silver ticket and the testimony of the steward of the imperial dining room.

Listening to the testimony of the steward of the imperial dining room, the face of the Fu Gong was green.

He has received the benefits of the imperial dining room, which is limited to the imperial dining room for fear that the food will not be delicious, and the emperor will be unhappy when he eats it, and when the time comes, he will blame it, and he will help say a few good words.

For a few dishes, he lost his life, and Fu Gonggong couldn't bear it.

Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and he can also receive some benefits, why not do it.

But he received a total of 20,000 taels!

Now the steward of the imperial dining room put the basin on his head and asked him to carry a million taels of black pot, and Gonggong Fu almost had a seizure.
