Xia Xiaodong didn't bother with Miss Jiang, and after gossiping with Miss Qin Si, he held the stove and thought about things on the bed.

Her main thought was the Jiaofangdian case.

How weird and awkward this thing is.

One, although Emperor Chen is favored, she doesn't have much capital to be calculated. Quite simply, because she had no children.

Even if she is spoiled by the sky, but Emperor Chen's concubine is really a model of old age and decay, there was no before, and there will be no children after that.

That also means that the emperor is alive, and Emperor Chen has no chance to be crowned, and when the emperor hangs up, Emperor Chen can only become Emperor Chen's 'Tai' concubine, and she will not even have the title of queen mother.

For such a person, to deal with her, the risks far outweigh the benefits. The risk is obvious, and if it is discovered, it will definitely be a worrying end for the emperor to be angry with the emperor. What about the benefits? What the? No! -- At least Xia Xiaodong can't think of any profit at this time.

Even if Emperor Chen Guifei gets the favor of a pepper room, what about it? In addition to the fragrant and fragrant taste of this pepper room, there is also a role of helping 'sex' that Emperor Chen Guifei can't use at all - it's just a legend, and the rest is ...... Neither food nor clothing, what is there to obstruct?

What's more, even if it is obstructed, it can only hinder the 'pepper room', not the emperor's 'favor'. The emperor's favor is not an ordinary bedtime favor, but a real favor in his heart.

In addition to the puzzling object of the face, there is also a very strange person, who is the craftsman who 'confesses'.

Of course, the craftsman wasn't hired from outside - that's a man, right? How can a real man have the opportunity to run to the emperor's backyard to hang around. Not to mention craftsmen, even if the emperor's younger brother, son, or other relatives of any gender are male, there are strict restrictions on coming to the harem.

The most lenient is the prince, but it is only within a limited area, and when he reaches a certain age, he has to leave the palace to build another mansion to live.

As for those princes and the like, they can only read the harem at all, and they are crying alone, who let him not grab the throne back then. Even if Prince Gong wants to meet the Empress Dowager Cixi, Ci'an is also on his side, as well as a number of palace maids and eunuchs, etc., and a curtain will be hung in the middle.

Therefore, the craftsmen who work in the Jiaofang Hall are actually eunuchs who work as craftsmen. The one who claimed to put the mercury dish into the Jiaofang Hall was, of course, also a eunuch.

In Xia Xiaodong's opinion, it is quite incomprehensible that this eunuch will be frightened into telling his 'crime'.

The role of the craftsmen in this matter has always been the same as that of Emperor Chen, a 'victim'. After all, there are many people injured.

In addition, the people of the Criminal Justice Division, although they were very vocal and interrogatory, did not expect that an inconspicuous dish would be filled with mercury before this confession.

According to the situation revealed by Eunuch Du, the Prudent Criminal Division didn't pay much attention to this plate before, and when he saw it, he was afraid that he would only treat it as someone who put it away after eating.

In this context, the 'confession' of the craftsman is intriguing.

After recruiting, the situation will only get worse, not better. Combined with the fact that he was 'poisoned to death' soon after, Xia Xiaodong believes that this person is more like a dead man with a will to die.

In these days, there are often foolish people, but not many dead people.

It is difficult for eternity to die.

This man died just to illustrate the purpose of a saucer?

It's not going to be that simple.

……

……

Although the matter of Jiaofang Hall has nothing to do with Xia Xiaodong, as a lover of problem solving, and this is the hottest gossip event in recent times, Xia Xiaodong still thought about it for a long time, and gradually felt a little drowsy.

There was a slight movement outside, Xia Xiaodong sat up, put on the soft-soled shoes he wore in the house, and walked to the door to look out.

I saw someone come in with a basin of water and pour it into the big tank at the door of the clean room.

On weekdays, they wash their hands and faces, and the show girls do it themselves, scooping water from this big water tank, and only when they take a bath, they will let someone bring hot water.

But carrying water from outside and adding it to the water tank is the work of the palace maids.

The man looked a little familiar, and when he turned around, he saw that it was indeed Miss Jiang.

Xia Xiaodong was taken aback.

Listening to Miss Qin, Miss Jiang has to take on the rotational duty that does not actually take turns. Xia Xiaodong thought that it should only be limited to some light work, in the final analysis, she was also a lady.

Let her do the heavy work, and she can't do it.

But...... Lifting water?

As for Miss Jiang's small body, if she is responsible for carrying water for everyone, it is estimated that she will be pressed in two days.

"How are you doing this?" Xia Xiaodong asked softly.

Miss Jiang raised her eyes to look at her, and suddenly lowered her hand weakly, turned the wooden basin filled with water and buckled it to the ground, and then sat down on the bottom of the wooden basin.

It seems that she is quite skilled in doing this, and it is estimated that she usually works for a while and rests for a while.

"You don't have to do this in any other house." After a while, Miss Jiang suddenly spoke: "This is it, Miss Qin Si said, I have to do all the work." ”

Of course, I deliberately couldn't get along with her.

Xia Xiaodong was choked for a moment. I didn't expect Miss Qin Si to really hold a grudge, and now she will repay it, which is difficult for Miss Jiang to come.

Miss Jiang said and knocked on the edge of the wooden basin, and said with a wry smile: "I can't lift the wooden barrel, so I use the basin, one basin after another." Who made me stupid?

said and looked up: "Xia Xiaodong, you say, am I stupid?!" ”

The light in the room was a little dim, and Miss Jiang sat short, but now when she looked up, she saw that in her eyes, two points of light flashed slightly in the dark room, with a moist meaning.

She seemed to be about to cry.

"Well, you're a little stupid." Xia Xiaodong tactfully replaced the word 'stupid' with 'stupid', and said with a smile: "But you can know that you are stupid, and you haven't been stupid yet." ”

A real fool has always thought he is very good. Only smart people will discover their own shortcomings.

Miss Jiang pressed her hands on her knees and struggled to stand up: "Actually, Miss Fang San told me that if I don't do a job like carrying water, even if Miss Qin Si makes a fuss, Zhongguan Cai will only say that she has done it and will not blame me." ”

Miss Fang San's words seemed to make sense.

Everything is about a degree. After this 'degree', it is not appropriate.

For example, when Miss Jiang came back to Xia Xiaodong for the first time and wanted to change the house, she argued for a while, whether it was successful or not, it was still within the normal range. But the second time, she threw Xia Xiaodong's things out, which crossed the line.

If you cross the line, you will be punished. Miss Jiang's identity remains the same, but what she does has changed, it is equivalent to a short-term downgrade in disguise. As for how short or long this short term is, it depends on her appearance.

Now that Miss Jiang had been punished, Miss Qin Si further asked her to do the heavy work, which was equivalent to a lower rank. Then, the one who crossed the line was Miss Qin Si.
