Next Chapter

The palace at night is very quiet, Yunmian and Mingyue are lighting the way in front with lanterns, followed by the princess, they just came out of Shoukang Palace, today the princess is happy, and she has dinner with the queen mother in Shoukang Palace, so it is very late to come out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yun Mian suddenly smiled as she walked, turned back to the princess and said, "Princess, I thank you so much, if you didn't intercede in front of the emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go back." ”

Mingyue didn't wait for the princess to speak, and teased: "Do you think the princess is helping you?" It's not that she wants to go out too. ”

"Oh, don't say it if you see through it, really," the princess glanced at Mingyue with some complaint, "You are not much better, in front of the imperial brother said that I don't take medicine, I was scolded a lot, if it weren't for the fact that the seventh emperor brother only came back from a long trip, and hindered the queen mother, maybe how would I be punished?" ”

Mingyue knew that the princess was unhappy, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "The princess is angry, and I don't dare to lie when the emperor asks me." At the mention of the emperor, Mingyue's face became hot for no reason.

Yunmian heard Mingyue mention the emperor, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, Huai Wang Baiqiao and the emperor are really the same raccoon dogs, one eye looks at Mingyue directly, and the other tries his best to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, only she is the most pitiful, and the punishment and kneeling and scolding have her share, and the reward is gone, Mingyue got such a good Yunjin, she only has the share of envy on the side.

The princess laughed when she heard this, "Pity Yunmian and make a wedding dress for others." "Who let Yunmian supervise her taking medicine all day long, she deserves it.

"Princess, stop talking." Yun Mian didn't want to think about those unpleasant, isn't it shameful enough to kneel in front of so many people? Thinking about it, she rubbed her knees, which might have been broken.

Pinch your fingers, Yunmian has been in the palace as the princess's companion for six years, she was still a yellow-haired girl when she first entered the palace, I don't know how much training she has received, but fortunately, the palace maid Xuelian who serves her is good, takes care of her everywhere, cares about her, and makes her not feel lonely in the past few years away from home.

I remember when Yunmian first came to menstruation, she was scared to death, crying and telling Xuelian that she was going to die, after Xuelian asked about the situation, she was distressed and funny, the child who left her mother was pitiful, and she didn't even know about the menstrual affair, Xuelian smiled and said hello to Lianggong, saying that she had grown up and was a big girl.

Yun Mian's thoughts drifted farther and farther, until Mingyue next to her pulled her sleeve, she came back to her senses, it turned out that they had not yet come out of the middle of the Zhongcui Palace and Chengqian Palace, and they hadn't walked a few steps, Mingyue suddenly saw a few eunuchs sneaking in front of the door, "Ouch, what is that, it scared me!" Mingyue stroked her chest fearfully, and something suddenly flashed in the big night, so it was strange not to be startled.

The princess was frightened by Mingyue's ouch, she pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you calling it like this at night, you want to be scary?" ”

"No, Princess, I just saw something flash through the front door." Mingyue's mood has not calmed down, she has never been so out of shape.

Yun Mian saw that Mingyue was scared enough, and hurriedly asked Mingyue, "Sister Yue is okay, fortunately, the princess is fine." ”

When the princess heard that something flashed by, she was also very scared, "It seems that the queen's sister-in-law has only cared about eternal hunting for the past half a year, and has slackened off other matters, no, I have to talk about it." ”

Yun Mian heard that the princess was going to find the queen, so she hurriedly turned around and walked to the front to light the lantern, if there was anything to frighten her.

The princess and her party came to Yongshou Palace, and the queen had not yet slept, and the queen's personal palace maid Zhanyu saw the princess coming and hurriedly welcomed them in.

The queen let the sleeping Yong Hunt in her arms let Mama take it down, and stood up to greet the princess, "Why didn't you sleep so late, you still have time to come to see the palace, your body is better?" ”

The princess sat down under the queen's head, her face was a little unhappy, and she complained: "Thank you for your concern, I almost scared out of my illness, and the queen's sister-in-law should let people take care of it." ”

"Oh?" When the queen heard this, she thought that the princess was not just coming to see her.

The princess told the queen what had just happened to the queen with trepidation, and said: "The place where I live is already remote, and now that I have bumped into something, I dare not go out at night." ”

The queen smiled when she heard this, as if she was expecting, patted the princess's hand and comforted: "It's hard for you, this is the palace's, but don't be afraid, something like that won't happen next time." "Something they saw flashed by, it must have been someone she had sent to investigate.

The princess is confused, she can't manage it well, and she won't necessarily encounter anything next time?

The queen didn't understand when she saw the princess, and she didn't speak, but only told her to rest in peace, and everything would be clear later.

It turns out that this is the case, as early as half a year ago, the queen found that the Ruyi Pavilion occasionally lost paintings, and the things in the antique room have not been right, most of the lost paintings are handwritten by famous artists, and the lost treasures are worth a lot of money.

Later, after many secret investigations, it was discovered that someone secretly colluded with those eunuchs to smuggle the paintings out and sell them for silver, according to the stolen goods.

Although the queen doesn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, but someone dares to fight these things so blatantly, she can't ignore it, it must be that she has been hunting for more than half a year, and she can't take care of it for a while, so she let people take advantage of the loophole.

But it is not easy to investigate with great fanfare, first, the evidence is insufficient, and second, it is not good to make everyone know that it will not end, and in this way, the emperor will definitely know that the emperor is too busy with state affairs, and it is not good to add troubles, so he can only pretend not to know and wait for the opportunity.

The princess has been sitting with the queen, yawning and yawning, and the chief eunuch Lu Lutong has said that they have not taken action every time, and they have been dormant, just waiting for them to act.

The queen frowned when she heard this, and said: "You have to calm down, don't startle the snakes, if they go out, you will take people, it will be a big mistake, you have to see where they hide the stolen goods, how to transport them out of the palace, this palace does not want to arrest a few people to ask for guilt." ”

When the chief eunuch heard this, he still withdrew.

"Imperial sister-in-law, it turns out that you want to catch a thief, and if you don't catch it everywhere, you will be locked up." The princess is already tired, so she doesn't have to stay up all night to keep vigil.

The queen smiled and asked Zhan Yu to make a pot of tea, "I'm sorry for you to accompany me, otherwise I'll be tired." "If the lock is locked and it stumps them, she won't have to go through so much trouble.

Finally, the chief eunuch came to report again, "Queen Mother, they have already acted, several eunuchs took things to the imperial dining room, and another eunuch sneaked to Chuxiu Palace with things in his arms." ”

"Chuxiu Palace?" The princess was already drowsy, but when she heard that Chuxiu Palace immediately came to her senses, she asked the chief eunuch, "You said those people went to Chuxiu Palace?" Imperial sister-in-law, will Concubine Jing be in danger? ”

Seeing that the princess cared so much about Concubine Jing, the queen smiled, reassured the princess, and said to the chief eunuch: "The princess is worried about Concubine Jing, you take a few people to take a look, if you have something to do, you should come here." ”

The chief eunuch responded with a slight smile, and hurriedly went to do it.

The princess was relieved and said to the queen: "Hey, I hope Concubine Jing is fine, if she has something, the royal brother should be distressed again, and if you blame your sister-in-law at that time, it will be bad." ”

The queen looked at the princess very pleased, she had grown up and sensible, and knew that she was distressed.

Not long after, another big eunuch came to report, "Queen Mother, those people who went to the imperial dining room have been arrested, but they are strict-mouthed and refuse to say anything. ”

"I'm afraid this won't be difficult for you, go ahead." The queen was not embarrassed when she heard this, she only said that she would let the eunuch do it, she must know who was behind the scenes, but she was not used to giving too cruel orders.

The chief eunuch went for a moment and came back, and Concubine Jing also came.

When the princess saw Concubine Jing coming, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Sister-in-law Jing, are you okay?" ”

"The palace is fine," Concubine Jing smiled at the princess with a warm smile, and saluted the queen again, "I don't know what the queen mother means by letting her concubines come?" ”

The queen pointed to the chair and asked Concubine Jing to sit down, and then pointed to the princess and said, "The princess is worried about your safety, so she asked the palace to send someone to take a look." ”

"Oh? Okay, how can I worry about the main palace? Concubine Jing's originally enchanting face paused for a moment, and then shook the veil funny.

The princess then took Concubine Jing's hand and said, "Concubine Jing, sister-in-law, you don't know, someone sneaked into Chuxiu Palace just now, I'm afraid that person will hurt you." ”

A trace of horror crossed Concubine Jing's face, "Really? ”

"Concubine Jing, it's true, the slave saw it with his own eyes, and now that the wrongdoer has been caught, do you want to see it." The chief eunuch smiled strangely.

Before Concubine Jing could speak, the princess preemptively said, "Don't bring it with you, let this princess see who is so bold?" ”

People brought in, one of them was still holding a jade to ward off evil spirits, that is, the eunuch who stole things, and a palace maid and a eunuch refused to raise their heads, the princess pointed to the eunuch who was holding the jade to ward off evil spirits, "You are the thief that the queen wants to catch?" ”

"The queen mother's life." When the eunuch was asked by the princess, he was immediately frightened, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, yes, this is the eunuch who worked in the antique room.

Compared with the eunuch who begged for mercy, the other kneeling palace maid and eunuch were much calmer, kept their heads down, and did not beg for mercy, the princess pointed at them, "Bold slave, don't raise your head yet." ”

The two of them refused to raise their heads when they were killed, helplessly, the chief eunuch called two little eunuchs to come and broke their heads one by one, everyone looked at it, dumbfounded, isn't this Concubine Jing's person?

It was obvious that Concubine Jing was also frightened, she stood up and took two steps back, pointed at them and stammered, "You, what, why are you?" ”

The princess was also very surprised, the chief eunuch was too confused to arrest people, if he wanted to catch the thief, why did he arrest Concubine Jing's people, in this way, it is strange that the queen and Concubine Jing did not have a disagreement, "Manager Lu, you are confused, let you catch the thief, what are you doing when you arrest Concubine Jing?" ”

The chief eunuch beat Qian'er, and said with a pale face: "Princess, the slave is ordered to do things, but don't dare to mess around." ”
