Tu Eqiu is wearing a light yellow skirt, with a comb on her hair and a horse bun, and only two gold-inlaid ruby hairpins, although her face looks a little sleepy, but such a simple and clear outfit still makes Tu Eqiu look a little more feminine.

Tu Eqiu was helped over, and when she saw Cheng's father-in-law, she bent her knees slightly: "I've seen Cheng's father-in-law." ”

Cheng's father-in-law immediately said urgently: "Hey, Concubine Tu Niangniang can't help it, this is a setback." ”

Tu Eqiu is just pretending, after all, she is pregnant now, and most people will not let her really make any big gifts, bent slightly, as soon as Cheng's father-in-law said, she got up with a smile: "It really made Cheng's father-in-law wait for a long time, and he was sleepy before the palace, so he fell asleep on the bed for a while, but he didn't expect to fall asleep." If it weren't for the palace maid coming over and saying, the palace hasn't gotten up yet, so I have to dress up. ”

Cheng's father-in-law smiled again and again: "It's not the right time for the slave to come, and he didn't ask for instructions in advance, so that the concubine Tu Niangniang was tired, and the slave really couldn't bear it." ”

Tu Eqiu smiled, where would he answer this, and said, "I don't know why Gonggong Cheng came this time." ”

Cheng Gong said: "In recent days, the emperor has been busy with official affairs and rarely comes to Xuan'e Palace, but the emperor is really thinking about Tu Niangniang, this is not a slave so he has to come cheekily to see where Tu Niangniang has been in short supply recently, and then tell the people below to make up for it." Originally, this matter was done by the slave himself, this was not the emperor's concern for the mother, and the slave came over on purpose. ”

This is a little more informative, although Emperor Xuan has not come to Xuan'e Palace recently, but he has not forgotten Tu Eqiu, and he is still worried about her in his heart. The second is about Hong Meiyu's place Something happened, I'm afraid that Emperor Tianxuan is also a little worried about a preparation in the palace or something, no matter what, Hong Meiyu's miscarriage is a miscarriage, and now there is only Tu Eqiu who is pregnant in the palace, so naturally she will be more concerned. Third, Emperor Tianxuan still won't come to Xuan'e Qiu today, as for where to go, I'm afraid no one in the harem will be able to guess it now.

Tu Eqiu pursed her lips lightly, and her face showed a little shyness: "It's good to be here in this palace, how dare you bother the emperor to worry about it, as long as the emperor has this palace in his heart, but let Cheng's father-in-law move around, and this palace can't be happy." ”

Cheng's father-in-law hurriedly smiled and said, "This is as it should be, as it should be." Naturally, he still asked Tu Eqiu about what he needed, and after saying so, Tu Eqiu was not good at being coquettish, and said a few things, but he didn't mention it too much, Cheng's father-in-law nodded hurriedly, looking at Tu Eqiu with a little appreciation.

Originally, this matter was almost over, Cheng's father-in-law got up and was about to leave, looking at Tu Eqiu and stopping a little.

Tu Eqiu was puzzled and asked, "Father-in-law Cheng has anything else to say?" ”

Cheng's father-in-law thought about it, and then said: "Actually, it's also a slave who is too talkative, this Hong Concubine Niangniang has just had a miscarriage, and the palace is also panicking, and the slave is now also assigned by the emperor to investigate this matter, but now he has no clue." It's just that this concubine Hong Niangniang's miscarriage has not been found out yet, and the slave thinks that Concubine Tu Niangniang should also be more careful. ”

Tu Eqiu was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly said, "This ...... This palace knows, Cheng's father-in-law is tired of investigating this matter, after all, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle this matter now, Cheng's father-in-law has any clues. ”

Gonggong Cheng shook his head, sighed, and said sadly: "There are some clues, but these evidences all point to ...... In the end, it depends on how the emperor decides, how to deal with it is not good, Tu Concubine Niangniang, you rest more and pay attention to your body, and the slave will go back first. ”

"There is a father-in-law who has become a worker, send his father-in-law out quickly." Tu Eqiu hurriedly asked the palace maid beside her to send Cheng's father-in-law out, and when she went out, she naturally had to hand over some things to Cheng's father-in-law, even if Cheng's father-in-law was out of tolerance, but in the end, his identity was extraordinary, and the general manager of the inner house gave him errands, so he had to give some benefits.

A bulging purse, Cheng's father-in-law refused a few times, and when he saw that the palace maid of Xuan'e Palace did not take it back, he also accepted it, of course, the smile on his face was a little stronger.

Tu Eqiu sat on the chair and watched the palace maid come back: "Have you received it?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, I accepted it, and my father-in-law smiled at it."

Tu Eqiu said lightly, but her face was not particularly good, in fact, she was not sure what this Cheng Gonggong had in mind, of course she hoped that this Cheng Gonggong was sincere just for the Tianxuan Emperor to come to see her, and the words that cared about her were also true.

The meaning of Chenggong's words, and he didn't find any other clues, so if he really wanted to convict someone in the end, it could only be the ice smoke and Tuan Tuan that were pointed to the most evidence, but Tu Eqiu still had a trace of thoughts, this Cheng Gonggong wouldn't be to test her, but there was nothing wrong with her expression just now.

Tu Eqiu smiled faintly and stroked her stomach gently, and she still had a back hand, so she was not in a hurry.

Gonggong Cheng hurriedly rushed back to the imperial study, and waited for Emperor Tianxuan for a while, and the minions who investigated below came over. Originally, the identity of becoming a father-in-law was not between the masters, and he didn't need to do it at all, thinking that he was the chief manager, and it would be ridiculous if there were no people under him.

And these minions are all going to the palace one by one, and the queen Yun Guifei and other concubines naturally can't take their turn, and some other concubines who are not favored, these minions are ordered to investigate, and it is enough.

Because this matter is now suspected of Bingyan and Tuan Tuan, so those who have a grudge against them, such as Zhong Mei's Fanmei Palace, these palace people have naturally gone to ask.

Zhong Mei was close to Hong Meiyu some time ago, she saw that the rabbit was cute, Hong Meiyu couldn't play, she also hugged and played twice, and once she was brought to Fanmei Palace, and accompanied her for two days, so she was a little reluctant to send it back to Yuqing Palace. This is naturally what should be asked, of course, Zhong Mei can admit it, and even the people who are asked are a little bored, in the end, the status of these eunuchs is not big enough, Zhong Mei pressed his momentum, and finally walked away.

Among the other concubines, some of them are not too much behind, and when they are asked, they seem to be suspicious, and the people sent to become fathers-in-law are all admonished, although those concubines are a little unhappy, but they are not really how.

Cheng's father-in-law took out the testimony they wrote after asking, listened to several of their reports, and listened to Zhong Mei's attention: "Concubine Zhong was a little unhappy when she was asked later, and when she talked about Princess Cang, the expression on her face was ......" This little eunuch didn't know if he was angry in Fanmei Palace, and he didn't say anything good anyway.

When Cheng's father-in-law heard this, he patted him on the head: "Okay, I don't know what's going on yet, you all use it, don't say that my father-in-law is not good to you." Father-in-law Cheng took it out and threw out a thick purse, which was given to Father-in-law Cheng by the palace maid of Tu'e Qiu Palace before, he didn't even look at it, and directly gave it to these little eunuchs as it was.

Those little eunuchs immediately smiled: "Doing things for my father-in-law, this is our great blessing, where do you dare to take these." ”

"You are all flamboyant, take it, and continue to ask tomorrow. Oh, go to Fanmei Palace, Xuan'e Palace, Yuqing Palace...... Send more people and keep an eye on me. ”

"Yes, father-in-law!" A group of little eunuchs got the benefit, and they couldn't see their teeth when they smiled.

Cheng's father-in-law still has something to do, so he didn't continue to argue with these little eunuchs, the little eunuchs opened their purses and looked at them, the things in them were not bad, they were all some silver, and there was a silver ticket of twenty taels, which added up to nearly thirty taels, which looked a lot, but in the palace, these easy to play are really not much, and a jewelry next to each master may be more than this price, but it is enough for them to eat and drink and gamble privately.

A few small eyebrows smiled, and then the investigation naturally became more vigorous.

But with the investigation, Cheng's father-in-law didn't say anything here, but there began to be some rumors in the palace.

The palace that was investigated was basically rumored, but the most popular ones were four people, Hong Meiyu, Tu Eqiu, Zhong Mei, and Bingyan.

Hong Meiyu, as a victim, is rumored to be a bit strange, but Hong Meiyu's appearance is also quite weird, and it is not too noisy, although the matter of this case is also mentioned with Emperor Tianxuan, it is not like the ordinary postpartum and sad and painful appearance, although the look is quite haggard, but Hong Meiyu is more favored than before after giving birth.

Emperor Tianxuan also went to her before, but at least he could think of others, and now he even went to see other concubines, and he let his subordinates see them, isn't this more favored than before. Intentional miscarriage in order to compete for favor? It's unlikely, but it doesn't prevent some people from thinking so.

Tu Eqiu is easy to say this, originally, she was diagnosed with joy first, how do you know how long she was not happy, Hong Meiyu's joy directly hit her not lightly, it is not unique, and her favor was directly taken away. And after Hong Meiyu gave birth, Tu Eqiu was pregnant, which would only make Emperor Tianxuan, who had some regrets about Hong Meiyu, more nervous and more concerned about this child, even if she didn't see it now, but when Emperor Tianxuan cared a little more about Hong Meiyu, Tu Eqiu would get up, which was a sure thing.

Zhong Mei, who was favored before, was degraded later, and recently accepted Hong Meiyu many times, and the relationship with Emperor Tianxuan has eased slightly, although there is no most direct benefit for the time being, but according to Zhong Mei's behavior of daring to assassinate Tu Eqiu, out of jealousy, Zhong Mei is likely to hurt Hong Meiyu, not to mention that this matter involves ice smoke, and it makes sense to kill two birds with one stone.

Bingyan is purely because of the evidence of Tuan Tuan, and her reason is like being jealous because of Yuncang before, but the ability to do mischief in the palace is not precisely because King Cang is not favored, so it is less likely. In terms of the motive for the crime alone, Bingyan is the smallest one.

And the other three are all concubines in the palace, and even if the other concubines know that they are innocent, they can gossip, not to mention that there is no result now, and none of them are necessarily innocent.

Cheng's father-in-law's progress is average, but the harem has fallen into a strange atmosphere, and the three parties are also a little uneasy!
