Qin Yuan burned the letter, pondering the strangeness of this matter, not knowing that he was about to be appointed by the emperor to secretly investigate the case thoroughly.

He and Pei Gu played chess in the study without a match, and after a long period of silence, they asked Pei Gu: "In your opinion, the fourth prince has always been wise to protect himself, how could he meddle in this matter?"

"I'm afraid that the four princes are not as indifferent as they seem to be every day. Someone else must have been involved in this, otherwise why would he send me a message?"

Pei Gu lowered his head and quietly recalled that the four princes did not have much intersection with him, and it was not until Nuan Nuan was startled that the four princes said "I heard that the new chef in Wuwei Houfu made a good snack", and went to the door to eat, intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a lot of news.

Even the whereabouts of the red medicine sent to the Shuntianfu prison, the four princes knew it well.

"Red medicine?" Qin Yuan said in surprise.

"That's right, it's the one who was popular in the capital for a while ago, and was later sent to the Shuntianfu prison with a life lawsuit. ”

"Why did the fourth prince know the whereabouts of Hongyao? Since Hongyao is in prison, he should be interrogated at a later date, and he should be convicted as soon as possible, could it be the person behind him" Qin Yuanzheng hesitated in a low voice, and he couldn't help but hear Pei Gu say incomprehensible news.

"Because the red medicine was taken away by the prince's subordinates, the fourth prince noticed it. ”

When Qin Yuan heard this, a light seemed to light up in his eyes.

"How could the prince be involved?"

"It was because the prince was involved that the four princes knew the news" Pei Gu spoke to himself, "It seems that the four princes have been secretly observing the prince."

Qin Yuan nodded, noncommittal.

"But it seemed that the person behind the red medicine should be the Shen family."

"The Four Princes are not only delicious, but also good to listen to the gossip in the market" Pei Gu suddenly laughed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about the name of the red medicine, and then saw him singing on stage, and he was shocked. ”

It's just that he didn't expect that these actions of the crown prince were clearly felt by the four princes who he had never opened his eyes.

Qin Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

This group of royal children is really -- the four princes who are delicious and fun, do not study well and run errands, have hidden their ambitions for more than ten years; what is even more surprising is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually good at this mouthful, no wonder the prince and the crown princess have been "resentful" all year round, and the crown princess Xiao has been married for many years and has not given birth to children

Concubine Zhou Shuniang has a place in the harem and is very appreciated by the emperor. Most of the emperor's manpower arrangements were borrowed by Concubine Zhou Shu - this is a secret that very few people in the harem know, and even Concubine Shu's own son never knew.

The status of the Imperial Palace is transcendent, and the manpower cases involved are unimaginably complex, and the emperor obviously can't trust the queen and the concubine, so he subtly chooses Concubine Shu, a person who does not fight.

When did the fourth prince Yu Wenyi know about these news?

Whether it was Concubine Shu's intention to reveal, or the fourth prince specially inquired - this mother and son seemed to be far less harmless than they seemed.

Zhou's family was born in a family of Hanlin Qingliu, Zhou's father is now in the age of sixtieth, and has long been named Taifu, ranking as the third duke, teasing grandchildren and great-grandchildren in his own yard, regardless of the government, and living a happy life every day.

The Zhou family is now in charge of the eldest brother of Concubine Shu, Zhou Zhang, who served as the secretary of the ministry, was loyal, and suppressed the Shen family and the Yang family together with the Su family in the court, and went their own way.

Concubine Shu leaned on the chaise longue, and the little girl beside her gently knocked her legs. The fragrance of the sinking water is tranquil, the fine smoke is curling, and the palace room is unusually quiet.

As soon as she was wearing a crow-blue embroidered border palace skirt, the woman who looked like a female official stepped forward to send the little girl down, bowed her head and said a few words to Concubine Shu, and then looked nervously at Concubine Zhou Shufei, who was well-maintained and still like a flower letter in her age.

Concubine Shu stared at the female officer in front of her, her eyebrows seemed to frown up one by one: "I've been teaching him to stay out of things, I still can't stop him after all"

The female officer's heart jumped. The most disciplined concubine Niangniang in Pingsuli actually forgot to call herself "Bengong" and said the word "I".

"After all, His Royal Highness King Xiao is a child of the royal family, Niangniang" The female official hesitated to speak, and was interrupted by Concubine Shu, "After the end of the dynasty tomorrow morning, please ask His Royal Highness King Xiao to come down to Yutang Palace to see this palace, this palace is unwell." ”

"Yes. ”

Concubine Shu immediately squinted the corners of her eyes, as if she was talking to herself: "This palace personally arranged for Miss Liang to enter the Imperial Palace, and few people know about it-he has the ability to find out about the head of this palace!"

He was very angry.

The female official bowed her head and served the tea silently, did not dare to say a word, and quietly faded out of the palace gate.

"Yu Wenyi, Yu Wenyi, you have been a useless prince for fifteen years, and now something has happened to make you so anxious"

***

Mother Dai was pestered by Grandma Sun to ask questions, trapped in Fushoutang for two full hours, and when she finally finished chatting with Grandma Sun and returned to the courtyard of the second room, the sky was already dark, gloomy and a little scary.

Cheng'an Hou Mansion is the house that was given by the emperor when the dynasty was founded, and after a long time, when the sky is gloomy, some places are terrifying and difficult for people to step in.

Dai's mother drank too much tea, and it was convenient to go to the thatched house, but on the way out, she was tripped over coldly. She looked closely, and it turned out to be a girl dressed in tatters and looking like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid.

A pair of eyes were wet, staring at her, and looking at Mother Dai, she was in a cold sweat.
