"Princess, the slaves and maids know." Wu Lin and several people have followed Xu Youshan's side for many years, in addition to Wu Lin and Liu's mother, who are already very vicious, Chu Dai and Yue Dai have long been smart and clever, so now that Xu Youshan said it, the four of them all replied respectfully.

"Well, but Chu Dai, have you ever asked Rose, are the people who were kidnapped by Mama Zhao just now, the same ones who just bullied her?" Xu Youshan asked Chu Dai again.

Chu Dai replied: "Back to the princess's words, the slave maid asked, Rose said that she had an impression, almost all of them were there, and the person who knocked her down and slapped her at the beginning was also inside, but these people were all taken away by Mama Zhao, so wouldn't it be good for us to interrogate them again who instructed them?" ”

The person who bullied Rose in the big kitchen just now was instructed in advance and deliberately provoked trouble in the big kitchen, which almost doesn't need to be said, that is, Xu Youshan and they have long been sure, and Xu Youshan also planned to arrest these people back at the beginning, and then ask from their mouths who instructed them to do this, but now it seems that this is almost impossible, after all, everyone has been taken away by Mama Zhao.

And as long as people enter the pulp washing room, it is impossible to bring them out again.

"There's no way around it." Mother Liu looked at the silent Xu Youshan and said to Chu Dai: "After all, Mama Zhao's identity is different, just look at His Royal Highness the King of Chu handed over the huge backyard of the palace to Mama Zhao to take care of this, you can know what position Mama Zhao has in His Royal Highness's heart." ”

Before Xie Jing married Xu Youshan, he naturally had no concubine. But he has two side concubines, but Xie Jing actually did not hand over the power of the backyard of the palace to one of his two side concubines, but handed over the power to Mama Zhao. Then you can see it here. In Xie Jing's heart, this Mama Zhao's position is probably a bit heavy, otherwise how could Xie Jing hand over this huge power to Mama Zhao?

So just now, Xu Youshan didn't want to have a hard time with Mama Zhao, although Xu Youshan couldn't grab those people in her hands and ask who instructed them to stumble on her. But if they can be punished in the pulp washing room, they can still give Rose and the others an explanation.

As for the real one behind the scenes, the most likely one. That's just a few.

"Even if this matter is over for the time being, don't mention it again in the future, but Mother Liu, you will send someone to supervise those people who bullied Rose tomorrow. Watch them go into the pulp washing room in person. Got it? Xu Youshan rubbed her eyebrows, exhaled a breath, and said to Liu's mother.

"Princess, don't worry, the old slave can save it." Liu's mother responded.

On the first day Xu Youshan entered the Chu Palace, this big and small thing happened, which also spread throughout the Chu Palace, and in the empty mountain house, she naturally got the news. So the head of the Kongshan Residence, who was also one of the stewards of the front yard of the Chu Palace, went to report to Xie Jing. Xie Jing waved his hand without any reaction and let Steward Rong retreat.

On the contrary, it was agarwood, after hearing the report of Steward Rong, the hand of grinding ink paused, and it was not until he saw Xie Jing's reaction that he started grinding ink again.

And this matter, in the end, under a series of cold treatments by Xie Jing, Xu Youshan, and Mama Zhao, everyone in the palace was lively for a while, and they were almost left behind, anyway, those who collided with the princess's maid and dared to provoke the princess's majesty were punished into the pulp washing room, which is also a matter of course, and everyone naturally has nothing to think strange, but for those who dare to collide with the princess, other people in the palace, of course, the smart ones have discovered the problems, and the not very smart ones are just a "fool" I brought it over.

Therefore, this matter really can't make any big waves in the palace, but the next day, when Mama Zhao sent people to send these people to the pulp washing room, the people passing by made a noise again, and after the people sent by Liu's mother saw them enter the pulp washing room with their own eyes, they also returned to Bowei Houyun to report to Xu Youshan.

"All in?"

Xu Youshan was lying in the backyard of Bowei Houyun, under a tall peach tree, on a soft couch specially moved out by her mother-in-law, through the gaps in the leaves, enjoying the scorching sunshine.

"Back to the princess, none of them have gone into the pulp washing room." Liu's mother replied.

"That'll do." Xu Youshan waved her hand to Mother Liu, and signaled her to retreat, and Mother Liu also bowed to Xu Youshan and left, and the yard was quiet for a while, and the maids and women also tried not to come to the backyard, so that Xu Youshan could rest quietly, but Xu Youshan was not resting now, but thinking about one thing, one big thing.

Early this morning, the entire imperial capital was boiling, because there was such a news in the streets, saying that it was raised by the whole country and transported to the border that has now stretched for almost April and May, and the military salary of Liangzhou was actually embezzled by the Liangzhou governor.

As soon as this news came out, almost the entire imperial capital was shaken, not to mention that this batch of military salaries was extremely expensive and varied, but to say that this military salary was to carry the hearts of the common people, and for the soldiers who defended their homes and defended the country in the war, this greed, didn't that anger all the people in this Great Zhou? So it didn't take long for the news to go around the imperial capital three times, so it was also early in the morning that Xu Youshan received the news.

It's just that although this news is very shocking, it can make Xu Youshan do nothing like this in the morning, and only think about the reason for this incident is the follow-up of the news that shocked the three earthquakes of the Shendu - Liangzhou Taishou entered the Shangshutai, denounced Wei Yi, the governor of Liangzhou, corrupted the law, withheld military salaries, and dragged down the war, resulting in heavy casualties among the sergeants who were fighting to the death against the barbarians on the front line in Liangzhou, and their crimes were heinous.

If the news that circulated in the market at the beginning, the government can still be said to be a rumor made out of nothing, but the news that was later revealed was a bit of conclusive evidence, and at this time when the gods were in an uproar and the Beijing people were angry, Xu Youshan was in the backyard of Bowei Houyun, thinking about some other things.

"Mother Wu, is Uncle Wu back?" Xu Youshan suddenly asked Wu Lin, who was sitting on the side and embroidering clothes with Chu Dai.

"Back to your words. Not yet, do you need the old slave to go to the front to take a look? Wu Lin replied.

"Well, then Mother Wu, you can go and have a look."

"Yes." Wu Lin put down the embroidery work in his hand. walked towards the front, and without waiting for a while, Wu Lin came back with Uncle Wu, "I've seen the princess." Wu Bo saluted Xu Youshan.

"Uncle Wu, you're here, get up quickly." Xu Youshan sat up from the soft couch, looked at Uncle Wu and asked, "Has the matter been clarified?" ”

"Replying to your words, Wu Chou has found out the matter. It came from the non-drunk building, although that person was not a guy in the non-drunk building, but Wu Chou's subordinates had indeed seen that person and the second child who was not drunk in the building. It is estimated that he is also Jiang Chunjin's person. Uncle Wu told Xu Youshan everything Wu Chou had found out.

"Sure enough." And Xu Youshan was not surprised at all and said in a deep voice: "The Wei family of Wei Yi, the pastor of Liangzhou Prefecture, is the cousin of the Bi family, and has always been the next faction of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. This time, his embezzlement of military salaries was so coincidentally exposed. It seems to be his masterpiece. ”

"Princess, and you have forgotten one thing, the embassy of Dongji to seek relatives has already entered Beijing." Wu Lin said.

"Yes, the Dongji mission to Beijing has already entered Beijing." Xu Youshan raised her hand to cover her eyes, then lay back on the soft couch and chuckled.

It seems that Xie Jing this time. It was ruthless to pull Xie Yan out, and it was originally because of the previous incident of the Ronghua Palace. Emperor Zhou Hui was already angry with Xie Yan, and this time, at this time when the war was scorching, when Emperor Zhou Hui's country was violated, Xie Yan's people actually dared to be greedy for military salaries, which simply touched Emperor Zhou Hui's scales, how could Emperor Zhou Hui spare Xie Yan again?

And what's even more unfortunate is that Dongji's courtship mission has already arrived in Beijing, and Xie Jing, who was most likely given by Emperor Zhou Hui to marry Princess Dongji at the beginning, has now married Xu Youshan, and among the princes of the right age, there are only the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen left, and Xie Yan and Xie Wen, Xie Yan angered Emperor Zhou Hui because of the Ronghua Palace, and now the case of Wei Yi's embezzlement of military salaries has been exposed, so it seems that ninety percent of the candidates for marriage with Princess Dongji are Xie Yan.

But once Xie Yan marries Princess Dongji, the future son of Da Zhou will definitely not be him.

The wind blew gently, Xu Youshan was in the backyard of Bowei Houyun, under a tall peach tree, covering her eyes with one hand, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, revealing a gentle smile, Xu Youshan was really happy at this time, no matter what Xie Jing did this for, anyway, the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen are the two most dangerous invisible crises for Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen, and now that one of the two most dangerous invisible crises has been removed, can Xu Youshan be unhappy?

Anyway, she only feels that the spring breeze is so gentle, and the blue sky is so clear and cloudless, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and everything is beautiful.

But Xu Youshan now feels that everything in the world is beautiful, but far away from her, there is a person who now feels that everything in this world is gray, and not long ago everything was smooth and bright in the future, he didn't know why, he fell to the bottom overnight, and now it is even more gloomy and boundless, so that people can't see a trace of hope, and the rest is just boundless despair.

"What about the concubine, I want to see the concubine, you dog slaves, have you gone to inform the concubine and say that I want to see her."

In a luxurious palace in the palace city that was heavily guarded by soldiers, the second prince Xie Yan was hysterically yelling at the inner eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground, so frightened that they trembled and prostrate and said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is angry, the minions have already gone to Concubine De to report to her, but now even Concubine De Niangniang is being guarded by the Praetorian Guard, and Concubine De Niangniang can't get out of the palace at all." ”

Xie Yan was stunned when he heard this, "The mother concubine was also seen by the Praetorian Guard?" Why? ”

After the inner eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling all over the ground glanced at each other, no one dared to talk, but after Xie Yan yelled hysterically, the inner eunuch who was already a little old among them replied in a trembling voice: "Qiqi... His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qiqi, this morning Liangzhou Taishou reported that Wei Yi, the pastor of Liangzhou Prefecture, was sent into the palace by Shangshu Zuo Servant Wen Daren, and the saint was furious after seeing it, and then not only sent the Praetorian Guards to block the outside of our palace, but even Concubine De Niangniang...... The same is true. ”

After the inner eunuch told Xie Yan about the current situation in a trembling voice, the entire hall fell silent, and Xie Yan, who was still hysterical just now, also sat on the tail gold step chair full of gems and pearls at this time, and those rare gems and pearls in the sunlight at this time, the countless brilliant lights reflected in Xie Yan's eyes at this time, it was really dazzling.

*****

Life is like a dream, time is like an arrow, in a hurry, the spring of Shendu is about to pass again, but what happened in this spring is really a little too lively and thrilling, among which the eldest son of the emperor Xie Jing married Xu Youshan, the concubine of the Jiangzuo Xu family...... Oh, no, now Xu Youshan has been recorded in the name of Xu Rong's wife, and she can be regarded as the daughter of the Xu family in Jiangzuo.

But this kind of behavior similar to a fig leaf, in the eyes of others, just highlights the identity of Xu Youshan's concubine, but anyway, Xu Youshan is now married to Xie Jing, although this marriage was opposed by many scholars in the court at the beginning, after all, Xie Jing is the eldest son of the emperor who occupies the heir and the eldest son, how can he marry a concubine as a wife? Even if this is the concubine of the Jiangzuo Xu family.

But no matter how these highly respected scholars played to Emperor Zhou Hui and asked to cancel the will to give marriage, they were all rejected by Emperor Zhou Hui in the end, and their firm will is really rarely seen in recent years. And just when the government and the opposition were surprised by this, only a very few high-ranking and powerful people in the court knew what this was, after all, they were the people who followed Emperor Zhou Hui in the apse of the Ronghua Hall that night.

Therefore, in the rare firmness of Emperor Zhou Hui, the marriage between Xie Jing and Xu Youshan was quite smooth, but what followed was the thing that really shocked the gods, that is, the case of Wei Yi, the pastor of Liangzhou Prefecture, who embezzled military salaries, although this big case was dealt with by Yin Xu Xi, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, under the anger of Emperor Zhou Hui, but the aftershocks it brought were extremely small.

After all, the current border war is raging, and the war of the barbarians bordering the east of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still "like glue", so the public anger caused by this case of embezzlement of military salaries is not small, so the government's pacification actions have been continuing. (To be continued......)
