Nie Qishu sat on the kang near the window of the warm pavilion, holding a handkerchief in her hand, which was embroidered with a lump of unknown things, yes is a lump, she couldn't see the outline at all, her mother spoiled her when she was alive, she didn't want to learn embroidery or reluctantly, after her mother died, the Nie family didn't care about her, who would care if she would embroider.

On the other hand, Qian Xuan was flying needles and threads between hand, and Hanmei had already shown off most of it, which was lifelike.

Nie Qishu sighed, he really didn't have much talent in embroidery.

At the time of the lamp, Songguang came in with a serious face to report, saying that there was news from the Guogong Mansion that Xiang Zhe had returned, and Nie Qishu immediately put down the silk handkerchief in his hand and asked how the matter was inquiring.

However, just like Songguang's expression, Xiang Zhe brought back bad news.

Old housekeeper Zheng died, not a normal death, he was murdered, although the matter was done very secretly, but he still missed the horse's feet and was discovered by Xiang Zhe.

After they discussed it in the study of the Guogong Mansion that day, Xiang Zhe went on the road the next day, and because he was going to get married, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division gave him a holiday.

A group of people from Jane non-stop, according to the old Zheng housekeeper's ancestral hometown of Shandong Liaocheng to find the past, when the old Zheng housekeeper was just a person and a carriage, low-key to leave the Guogong Mansion, the old housekeeper did not get married in this life, no children and no daughters, there is only one cousin who is ten years younger than him guarding the ancestral few acres of thin fields.

After he returned, his cousin gradually became richer with his financial support, and he also had a hundred acres of fertile land, and his three sons all studied with his master, but the old housekeeper never said that he used to be an errand boy in the powerful Guogong Mansion, and others did not know about it at all.

So when Xiang Zhe and them, even when they arrived in Liaocheng, it took them some time to judge from the information they heard that the old man who came back from the capital to join his younger brother was the old housekeeper, but they were one step late, and they were just in time for the Zheng family to mourn.

It stands to reason that when he is old, it is normal to be born, old, sick and die, but Xiang Zhe always felt that something was wrong, but he fell ill and died when they came to find him, which had to make people suspicious, so he took advantage of the night when there was no one in the mourning hall to quietly check the body of the old housekeeper, and sure enough, it was not sick, but poisoned.

Xiang Zhe secretly said that it was not good, could it be that Li Xun knew something? didn't dare to delay, immediately brought someone back and reported to Nie Qishu in the palace.

Songguang just brought the news of the murder of the old housekeeper, and it was inconvenient to send other messages, so Nie Qishu could only be in a hurry.

The murder of the old housekeeper means that Xiang Zhe's actions have been discovered, so the only one who doesn't want them to know the truth back then is Li Xun, who is suspected of killing the old man

Oops! Could it be that what she asked from the old lady's mouth that day had already been known to Li Xun?

No, it won't

Nie Qishu immediately rejected the idea.

If so, shouldn't everyone who might know the whereabouts of the jade seal be arrested and find out the whereabouts of the jade seal? And she should be caught the most, after all, the old lady said that the jade seal was in her mother's hands.

Instead of simply killing people and killing people, Xiang Zhe and they couldn't find out the cause of the death of the old Guogong.

Nie Qishu fell into deep thought, but when they found a clue, the old housekeeper was killed, who could it be if it wasn't Li Xun?

Fortunately, Li Chen, the king of Liang, came at night

When he saw him, Nie Qishu's eyes widened and he thought that he had seen it wrong, the last time Xiang Zhe entered the palace was because the emperor was not there, and he pretended to be a eunuch and had Songguang as a cover, so he was able to enter Yiren Palace

And Li Chen, just like this, entered her Yiren Palace in a dark robe!

Just looked at him Yushu in the wind, accompanied by a warm voice and said, "Visiting late at night, it's really urgent, offending the mother"

The corners of Nie Qishu's mouth, who came back to his senses, curled, and said, "Where is the prince, but I don't see that the prince is so skilled."

At this moment, the palace gate has already been dropped, and if you want to enter the palace, you can only climb over the ten-meter-high palace wall, let alone avoid the guards patrolling inside and outside the palace.

Li Chen smiled disappreciatively, "My queen mother has been a queen for nearly thirty years, and I still have the ability to quietly enter the palace."

Nie Qishu invited him to sit down and said, "Then the prince will talk about it, but what is the important matter?" ”

She invited Li Chen to sit down and poured him a cup of tea herself

Li Chen picked up the tea and said, "Now that Xiang Zhe is being targeted, I can't come to see you"

"But for the sake of the old butler's murder?"

Li Chen said, "That's right! It's our carelessness, Grandpa Guo originally wanted to let Xiang Zhe go without making a mistake, but he didn't expect his identity to be too obvious, and now it seems that Li Xun should have discovered something"

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it was because the jade seal was probably in the hands of the old Guogong back then, so he would keep an eye on the Guogong Mansion, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of it quickly, but the situation was chaotic at that time, and there was a rebellion in southern Xinjiang, so that he couldn't attack the Guogong Mansion for the time being, and when the time was ripe, the Guogong Mansion was no longer something that could be shaken casually."

Nie Qishu looked at him and said, "So, it must have been Li Xun who killed the old man back then?" ”

"Probably right!" Li Chen then said, "You have to be careful, since he can find out the movements of the Guogong Mansion, it means that he can also find out that the jade seal may be in the hands of your grandmother and mother."

"Don't worry, presumably he can't confirm it, after all, even what I don't know, he won't risk what to do to me to the Shangguo Mansion, but will pamper me even more, and want to find out the whereabouts of the jade seal"

Li Chen believed that she could handle it, so he said with confidence, "Then you should be careful."

"I see"

After saying these words, Li Chen disappeared from Yiren Palace, as if he had never been here, if it weren't for the cup of tea on the table that was still warm, Nie Qishu would really doubt that he was dreaming.

In fact, Li Chen was too worried, the old housekeeper was indeed killed by Li Xun's people, but it was not Li Xun who knew about the conversation between Old Madam Nie and Nie Qishu.

It turned out that it was indeed as Li Chen said, Li Xun knew that the jade seal might be in the Guogong Mansion, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on it, this time Xiang Zhe secretly left Beijing with his front foot, and there were people from the Qingli Division following him, and this time it was Bai Qi, the best at concealment, Bai Qi, the commander of the Qingli Division, no wonder Xiang Zhe didn't find out

When he arrived in Liaocheng, Xiang Zhe did not successfully find the old housekeeper, so he had no choice but to pretend to be a confessor and inquire about the whereabouts of the old housekeeper, but Bai Qi found out the clue and killed the old housekeeper first

Because no one knows what happened better than him, it was under his questioning that the old prince suddenly died of a heart attack.

But it's a pity that the old prince didn't say where the jade seal was until he died, when the first emperor died suddenly, the third prince Li Xun ascended the throne, and the news that the three princes were plotting to usurp the throne came out.

This time, he also found the old butler along the way

The people of the Xiang family must not be allowed to find out the truth, he immediately made a decision, and after asking the whereabouts of the jade seal, he directly poisoned the old housekeeper to death.
