Mother Wu had already heard about the incident by the lotus pond this morning, and naturally felt empty, she was indeed doing her best to manage the eldest princess's mansion, but there was a forsythia incident, and the credit over the years could only be used as a bargaining chip to ask for guilt, and the eldest princess could not blame herself now, and it was also for her lack of credit and hard work over the years. I thought that in a few years, when she was old, she would ask the eldest princess to find a neat and capable errand to replace her, and she would be able to retire and retire with peace of mind.

"The old slave is stupid, please make it clear to the eldest princess." Although she is like a mirror in her heart, there are some things that can't be said clearly, and hindsight will only make people look more incompetent, so Mother Wu had to salute again with a humble posture.

Forsythia confessed that someone kidnapped her on the way to visit her relatives, so that she would be coerced into assassinating the county lord. Forsythia also said that the person who gave her the order had placed a letter in her room, do you understand when I say that? Jin Rou directly made her words clear.

Hearing this, Mother Wu was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, that is to say, the person who harmed the county lord was someone other than Forsythia, and it was very likely that this person was still in this inner courtyard, but she did not expect it.

If this forsythia assassination of the county lord was coerced, she was at most a negligent mistake, and when she chose forsythia to enter the house, forsythia was still a little girl who was only a few years old, and there would be no problem with such a person. Forsythia is also loyal on weekdays, but he was coerced to assassinate his master, and people's hearts are the most difficult to figure out, and no one can see through Forsythia's heart! So although she had a fault, she was not at fault.

But now there is a person who delivers the news, that is, there is a problem in the management of the inner courtyard, otherwise how can anyone come and go freely in the county lord's Yahe Garden to pass things? What's even more terrifying is that this person is still hiding in the shadows, she can sneak into Yahe Garden today, and she can sneak into the kitchen tomorrow, if this person puts something in the master's food and tea, then she will not die.

"The old slave is guilty and not strictly disciplined. Please punish the eldest princess! Mother Wu slammed her knees on the ground and knocked her head down.

Seeing this, Jin Rou's face finally turned slightly pale, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "Biqin, quickly help Mother Wu up." ”

Biqin helped her again and again, and Wu's mother stood up, only to hear Jin Rou say: "You are not guilty of this matter, but this backyard should indeed be rectified!" ”

"Today's song is no longer suitable to be preached again, so as not to startle the snake. You took a few stout mothers-in-law to check everywhere, and only said that I had lost a valuable object rewarded by the emperor in my house, and that all those who could not prove their whereabouts at noon three days ago were all detained and interrogated strictly. ”

"Yes," Wu's mother responded respectfully.

"In addition, you focus on the mother-in-law guarding the courtyard in Ge'er's yard, did they leave without permission at that time, but did you see anyone enter the back room? There were idlers in the yard, and they didn't even notice it, so they were fined two months' monthly money first, and then they were released after the matter was clarified. ”

After Jin Rou finished speaking, she paused for a moment, pondered for a while before then ordered: "In addition, several big and small maids in Yahe Yuan have to prove their innocence to each other. Jin Rou was afraid that if she checked the girl next to her daughter, what would her daughter think, but fortunately, Fang Yage did not have an unhappy expression after listening to it.

"The mother-in-law who went to deliver food in the kitchen that day couldn't let go, and she must be carefully interrogated. This thing is not something that can be done lightly, pull up the radish and bring out the mud, I see where they hide!! As he spoke, he slammed the teacup on the coffee table.

Seeing that Changgong took the initiative, Mother Wu said softly.

I only heard Fang Yage continue: "Mother still asked Mother Wu to close the second door and the back door together, and took this opportunity to let a few henchmen check the maids' things to see if there are any forbidden things." ”

Fang Yage thought, since this is the case of a public inspection, he will simply investigate thoroughly, except for the people behind the scenes, it would be best if the illegal and prohibited things in this mansion could be found and solved together. Such a search will inevitably make the maids and women dissatisfied, if they do not come up with some real evidence, find out some things that are not in order, everyone will inevitably have resentment and contempt for their mothers, and feel that the search is just like this, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small. On the other hand, if the big mistakes can be detected and severely punished, I believe that they can also set an example for the monkeys, and everyone will naturally be more careful in their actions in the future.

Jin Rou listened to Fang Yage's words and thought it made sense, so she asked Mother Wu to do it together, Mother Wu didn't dare to delay, got up and led the mother-in-law outside the courtyard to check everywhere, and closed the second door after a short time.

Oops!! Jin Rou suddenly remembered that the matter of Fang Yage throwing forsythia under the lotus pond was almost known to the whole house, so if someone with a heart heard the rumors, he would naturally know that the matter was exposed, so how could he stay in the mansion? It must have been an excuse to slip out. Although it has only been more than an hour now, maybe the man has already left the house.

"What's wrong with Mother?" Fang Yage looked at Jin Rou and suddenly panicked, and hurriedly asked.

"Nothing." Afraid that Fang Yage would blame herself in her heart, Jin Rou didn't dare to say this guess, and the mother and daughter waited for news together in the inner room. Not long after, a little girl outside hurriedly came in to report, "Eldest princess, the emperor's father-in-law Huang is here, and he is asking to see him outside the courtyard at this time." ”

Hearing this, Jin Rou guessed that the emperor must have learned about her daughter's falling into the water, so she sent someone to inquire, and hurriedly got up and ordered, "Please enter the hall with Gonggong Huang." Saying that, she herself walked out with Fang Yage.

Jin Roufang sat down on the red sandalwood chair with the auspicious pattern of dragons and phoenixes in the hall, and saw a white-faced old man walking in with two little eunuchs outside the door. The old man was wearing a crimson chest and a narrow-sleeved shirt with a flower plate collar, a black gauze and gold curly hat, and a kind smile on his face, this person was the eunuch chief Huang Gonggong who served in front of the emperor. Seeing that Jin Rou and Huang's father-in-law was about to kneel and salute, he said, "The eldest princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Seeing this, Jin Rou immediately said in a loud voice: "It's okay, when you come to the palace, you still talk about those false courtesies." The little eunuch who was following on the side heard the sound and hurriedly stopped Gonggong Huang, who was about to kneel.

"Come, sit, tea."

Biqin heard the order, and quickly led Huang Gonggong to sit on the first colored phoenix peony carved sandalwood chair on the left hand side of the hall, the little maid brought all kinds of refreshments, and the two little eunuchs who followed stood behind Huang Gonggong, staring at the beech floor under their feet, not daring to glance at random.

Gonggong Huang bent down before sitting down and thanked him, and said, "The old slave is old, thank you for your forgiveness." After saying that, he sat down in his chair.

Jin Rou treated Huang Gonggong so politely, not only because Huang Gonggong was the personal eunuch of Emperor Jin Duo, but also because Huang Gonggong was an old eunuch who had dressed the former emperor Jin Lin, and his qualifications were not comparable to ordinary people. This is also in the eldest princess's mansion, Huang Gonggong will be so humble, if it is an ordinary minister, needless to say that the emperor will not send Huang Gonggong to go in person, even if it is between the nobles, Huang Gonggong is also regarded as a guest wherever he goes, please take a seat.

The first emperor Jin Lin had a total of five sons and three daughters, the first queen was the princess of the neighboring Qingze, Nuoina, who gave birth to the prince Jin Zhao, and later the prince was deposed for rebellion. The second prince Gong Wang Jin Feng, his mother is Shen Meiqin, the daughter of Shen Wanquan, the richest man in Jiangnan, the first emperor rebelled to fight the world, and he had little money to support, and accepted Shen Wanquan's pearl Shen Meiqin, if it wasn't for Princess Qingze to come and kiss, it would be difficult to make this today's Concubine Shen should be the Empress Dowager Shen, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, Jin Feng went to the Great Wilderness after being crowned king, located in the southernmost part of the Yonghe Dynasty, and went with his sister Jin Ruan, the second princess, who was married to the Ye family.

Jin Duo is the third prince and inherited the throne, and his sister is Fang Yage's mother Jin Rou, whose mother Shi Ningran is just a personal maid next to the first emperor, without power and power, after the first queen and Concubine Shen gave birth to the crown prince and the second prince, the first emperor sympathized with Jin Duo without strong ancestral support, named Jin Duo as the king of An, arranged the fief to the rich Jiangnan, and later married He Peifeng, the daughter of the Jinling scholarly family. The fourth prince is King Jian Jin Rong, and his mother Cui Qingqing is the younger sister of Cui Qiguang, who fought the world with the emperor back then.

The first emperor went suddenly, and the will was handed over to Huang Gonggong, at that time, the most powerful to compete for the throne were the second prince Jin Feng and the fourth prince Jin Rong, this Huang Gonggong simply carried the temptation and threat of all forces, and waited for three days before waiting for Jin Duo. Gonggong Huang not only served the emperor but also served the dragon, so his status in the palace was not comparable to that of the little Douzi father-in-law who grew up with the emperor since childhood. It's just that Fang Yage didn't know about this old matter, otherwise he would definitely have doubts about Huang Gonggong, because later facts proved that the person who supported Jin Duo back then turned out to be the mastermind behind the forced palace.

"You are a person who has served your father, so you naturally don't need to be polite when you come to this palace, and the royal brother has been in good health recently?"

"The eldest princess has a heart, the emperor is fine, this time I sent the old slave to ask about the situation of the county lord of Anning, I heard that the county lord of Anning fell into the water, the emperor was very worried, and specially asked the old slave to bring ginseng, deer antler, bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus and other precious medicinal materials, I am afraid that the county lord will be frightened, and the medicinal materials in the princess's mansion are not complete." As he spoke, a row of little eunuchs walked in one after another with more than 20 boxes.

Fang Yage's eyelids twitched, his uncle was really ...... This is to empty the Tai Hospital, so I am not afraid that the official will say that he is spoiled and unfair.

Although Fang Yage knew that it was not good to do this, his heart was still warm, and he hurriedly thanked him.

"An Ning knocks on the emperor's grace, and thanks to my uncle's love!"

"County Lord Anning, the emperor also asked the old slave to ask, how did the county lord fall into the water? How was it so careless? Huang Gonggong's tone was very steady, remembering that the emperor's original words at that time were "Which one of the people who didn't have long eyes didn't serve well, and dragged me back to the palace to cut it", I felt that it would surprise the county lord who had always been quiet, and he still relayed it implicitly.

When Jin Rou heard this, she immediately hurriedly replied: "It's the rowing girl who is careless, and the palace has already kicked that girl out." Sue the royal brother not to bother too much about this matter. "The emperor has been overwhelmed by the government every day, and Jin Rou doesn't want the imperial brother to worry about the affairs of his palace anymore, so he didn't tell the truth.

"Thank you uncle for your care, I'm already much better, I'll go to the palace tomorrow to thank you, and ask Gonggong Huang to go back and tell my uncle." Fang Yage thought about going to the palace tomorrow, firstly, to let her uncle see that she was at ease, and in addition, she still had some things to ask her uncle for.

Hearing Fang Yage say this, Gonggong Huang's task for this trip was completed, and he didn't delay much, so he got up and said goodbye, "Since this is the case, the old slave will return to the palace to revert to the decree, and please take care of the county lord of Anning, take good care of his body, and recuperate, and the emperor will be less worried." The old slave took his leave. Saying that, he got up and bowed, Jin Rou and Fang Yage's mother and daughter did not leave him, and sent people to the gate of the inner courtyard together before turning back.
