Ai Xiaoyan took care of the backyard of the house for more than a month, and then realized that something was wrong. It's also a coincidence, and the pheasant and game that are raised are not young. Even if you can give birth sometimes, the one who lands is also a stillborn.

She was very distressed, if it went on like this, the fresh game would be eaten, and Pingjun's meal would not be able to keep up, but how could it be good? It is not difficult to deploy from outside the palace, but after all, it is troublesome. Besides, she swore in front of Her Majesty at first, but she couldn't hand over any goods at this time, and it was not easy to explain to you! Although the king will not blame, she has no face!

These few things were put in her heart, and she was so tightened in her chest that she couldn't sleep well.

She runs to the small yard all day long, always to check the little chickens and little beasts she raises, to see if the mother beast has given cubs, whether the breeding dolls are sick, whether they are healthy......

On this day, I came to the small courtyard again, and heard two palace ladies gossiping:

"This place is like being cursed by a nightmare, and even animals can't be raised!"

Even the palace maid noticed the strangeness...... Ai Xiaoyan listened, and her heart couldn't help but pinch up.

I only heard one of the women in the palace say again: "The queen's mother was misconceived, I think she was cursed, and in such places, the feng shui is poor." As soon as the little girl finished speaking, she was reminded by another palace woman covering her mouth and saying, "This can't be nonsense!" Jiaofang Palace is the queen's bedroom, the feng shui is excellent, let's not worry about it, if someone listens to it, I am afraid that I will cut my tongue. ”

That Xiaogong's daughter was young, and she didn't dare to speak after being bluffed like this.

The palace maid who had just reminded sighed: "Alas, actually...... What you said is not unreasonable, although the Jiaofang Hall is noble, but ...... Going deeper, it's not wrong to say it's ghostly. What do you think, there are so many queens of the Han Dynasty who live in the pepper room, and there are a lot of accidents, their grievances are lingering, and they have been entrenched here for thousands of years, and it is not surprising that this palace is cursed. Our queen mother was just a flat-headed common man at first, but Fu Zuo came but couldn't stop it...... Niangniang has the eldest son, and she is married to Her Majesty, and Her Majesty can't be spoiled. This kind of blessing is that even Heaven should be jealous! ”

This palace woman is indeed an old man, and she also has some qualifications in the court, and what she says is also on the point. Indeed...... Even Heaven will be jealous!

――Can these demons and monsters in the Han Palace not be jealous?

This is brought from the beginning, why the queen was aborted, and a clear-eyed person can see it clearly.

Ai Xiaoyan shuddered.

She couldn't help but approach and coughed softly.

The women of the two palaces, who were chatting just now, heard the movement, and suddenly froze, and looked up to see that it was Ai Xiaoyan, and she was so frightened that she couldn't do it.

"Don't be surprised." Ai Xiaoyan said in a low voice: "I'm not a person in the court, whatever you gossip, I naturally won't leak it." Do you think - although I was a friend of the queen in the past, what am I now? The queen is now noble, and if she needs me at this time, I will enter the palace to serve, and if she doesn't need me, she won't think about it again. Why, then, should I trouble myself? She laughed, "You say—am I right?" In the court, it is the right way to protect oneself and do more with less talk. ”

She did have a point.

The women of the two palaces looked at each other, then believed her, and said, "Please make it clear to the girl, do we forget about this matter?" ”

"Did you just say anything? I didn't hear anything, so I asked the two girls to dial. Ai Xiaoyan naturally understood.

The two palace ladies naturally understood what Ai Xiaoyan meant, and the older girl stood up and said, "What we just said, I forgot it all now." - Perhaps, you didn't say anything? Could Miss Ai have misheard? ”

"I misheard." Ai Xiaoyan smiled.

"Today, Miss Ai is very gracious, we will definitely keep it in our hearts, and he will report it every day." The older palace lady retreated, as if with the intention of saying goodbye.

Ai Xiaoyan refused to let people go, and said, "I don't want him to report it daily." If the girl has a heart, today's picture is it. ”

"How do you report it?" The palace maid frowned.

"It's not difficult," Ai Xiaoyan said with a smile, "I'm used to embarrassing people." Very simple...... After the two girls gossiped and dialed, I was like an enlightenment, and the things I had never understood were made clear in an instant. Two girls, look, I've been raising chickens, ducks, and livestock in the pergola nest I've been idle for a while, and I'm almost eating them up! Not half a cub! There must be a doorway here. The two girls are always looking after this, do you see anything strange? ”

The two palace ladies looked at each other.

One of them is very smart, because he knows that he has fallen into Ai Xiaoyan's hands, if he doesn't cooperate, I'm afraid that Ai Xiaoyan won't let them go. After a moment's thought, she said, "If it's strange...... I can't say that, but something...... I always think it's a coincidence. ”

"How so?"

"In the past half a year, Jiaofang Hall has been a little strange. The palace maids who are guarding here are all suffering from 'bad' diseases...... "This palace maid was a little speechless, but she was still willing to tell Ai Xiaoyan about it.

"What disease?" Ai Xiaoyan was a little nervous, as if the truth was about to be revealed in front of her, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to have scruples, now that it has reached such a point, it is the same whether you say it or not." ”

Yes, it has come to such a point, even if she doesn't say it, Ai Xiaoyan is known to be a little weird, so she will naturally follow the track. The results are also clear.

It's better for her to have the final say, at least Ai Xiaoyan can still read her a little better.

The palace woman said: "That's the case, there is a strange thing around you. Once, the sisters who were also on an errand in the Jiaofang Hall accidentally bumped into a palace maid talking to her companion about 'Kwai Shui', and vaguely heard something like 'No Kwai Shui, the letter will not come'...... It is necessary to know that our palace maids on errands, every time the letter period comes, they do not arrange errands in the court, for fear that they will be inconvenient and will not do their errands well, which will make the master unhappy. But the two palace ladies who spoke never came to the letter, and I don't know why...... This is a serious illness for a woman! Isn't Mo a natural stone girl? She paused, swallowed, and added, "Since then, I've been paying a little attention to this aspect. Only then did I find out that many of the palace ladies in our Jiaofang Palace were not in the letter period and did not come to Kwai Shui! Oops, aren't so many people born stone girls?? That's amazing! I always feel that the queen's miscarriage and the lack of birth of chickens and ducks in Jiaofangdian are caused by poor feng shui! After all, even the palace maids of the Jiaofang Palace have so many stone maidens! ”

What a discovery!

Ai Xiaoyan was overjoyed and surprised. The joy is that it seems that she is at a loss for this clue she is holding, and she has indeed traced the breakthrough point she thinks; Shockingly, if what Xiaogong's daughter said is true, then this Jiaofang Palace is really a big weird! Pingjun's miscarriage is not an accident!

When I think about it, I can't help but feel a chill rise on the soles of my feet......

The Han Palace, the Han Palace, is full of too many intrigues and tricks, how can their ordinary people settle down in peace?

"I see." Ai Xiaoyan approached the women of the two palaces, withdrew the jade bracelet in her hand, and stuffed it into them: "A little heart, take it well." ”

Ai Xiaoyan is very good at being a person, even if she doesn't know the rules of the deep palace, she can learn and resist one or two.

The women of the two palaces naturally shirked and refused to ask for it.

Ai Xiaoyan simply put a jade bracelet on each of them, and said, "Take it, I understand the rules in the palace." In the future, there will be more places to rely on the two girls......" She smiled, and her smile was deep and measured, and it went straight to the hearts of people.

Sure enough, the older palace maid hesitated slightly, and then put the jade bracelet into her sleeve, and hinted that the other palace maid also accepted the jade bracelet, and said to Ai Xiaoyan: "Miss Xie is generous." ”

"You're welcome."

Ai Xiaoyan said in her heart, I want to thank you!

This time, I really cleared up some clues, but I didn't have to bump around like a headless fly anymore.

Ai Xiaoyan went to find Ye Tingcheng in a hurry, checked the source and way out of the palace women in the past few years, and then checked the roster of the palace people in Jiaofang Palace, and made some discoveries.

She hurriedly went to Jianzhang Palace to find His Majesty, thinking that she would definitely let Her Majesty know about this matter.

The emperor was busy in the previous court, and every time he went to court, he sat in front of the desk and conscientiously reviewed the folds. When Ai Xiaoyan came to pay respects, the emperor heard that it was her, and he was afraid that the queen would have something, so he hurriedly summoned her.

This is not the first time Ai Xiaoyan has returned to Jianzhang Palace, but it is the first time that she has come to Jianzhang Palace alone without the queen accompanying her.

Seeing that it was her, the emperor stood up from the front of the desk with a smile: "Why is Ayan here, the beasts have all eaten?" ”

The emperor smiled, naturally asking her how the breeding industry in the Jiaofang Palace was doing, if not, according to the emperor's temperament, he would definitely make fun of her.

Ai Xiaoyan knew what the emperor meant, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it at this time, so she hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty is infinite for ten thousand years...... She walked in a hurry, and she was still panting for breath at the moment!

When the emperor saw her like this, he was even more teased: "Ah Yan, your panicked appearance is like being sued by a thief at home...... Oh? Maybe you are a thief and are being chased by officials! That's what you do! ”

The Emperor laughed.

"Majesty!!" Ai Xiaoyan shouted roughly.

"What's wrong?" The emperor was stunned, and his eyes widened.

"Big deal! Do you want to listen? ”

"What's the big deal? - Auntie, of course I have to listen. ”

Ai Xiaoyan carefully told the emperor about her unintentional discovery today, and told her the doubts in her heart one by one. For example, many palace ladies in the Jiaofang Palace did not have sunflower water...... The chickens and ducks in the Jiaofang Palace can't give birth to cubs...... The queen of the Jiaofang Palace had a miscarriage......

What's more, she checked the appointment records of Ye Tingcheng and the errand roster of the people in the Jiaofang Palace, and some of the numbers were not right...... In other words, the palace people of Jiaofang Hall are not completely from the deployment of Ye Tingcheng!

Where did the palace people come from, where did the Jiaofang Palace not be included in Ye Tingcheng's appointment record?
