is by no means an ordinary girl who can harm people by such means, and she is by no means an ordinary person behind her. Give such a person to Qin Zhen, Qin Zhen naturally has capable subordinates, and he can judge useful things from this girl.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but think of Wang Jiao'er and Jiang Miao'er at the beginning, so he nodded to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen immediately took someone out.

When Qin Zhen left, Ji Xiaotang hurriedly asked Mama Cheng to sit down in front of him.

"Mama sit down, I have something to ask you slowly."

The main reason why the little girl didn't succeed was that Mama Cheng was careful and took care of Xuan'er tightly, and stopped the little girl in time. Ji Xiaotang didn't dare to think about what the consequences would have been if Mama Cheng had been a little negligent and hadn't caught the little girl ~ before she entered the house to activate the Gu worms.

Mama Cheng didn't want to sit, but looking at Ji Xiaotang's face, she still sat down. Because she knew that this was Ji Xiaotang's way of expressing gratitude. Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything grateful, that was because they didn't need these things at all.

Listening to Ji Xiaotang and sitting down to talk can also calm Ji Xiaotang's excited emotions.

Mama Cheng sat down.

“…… This little girl, I have long seen that there is something wrong with her. ”

All the people who served around Xuan'er passed by Ji Xiaotang. But after all, she had a lot of things, and it was impossible for her to put all her energy on this matter, so she entrusted it to Mama Cheng instead.

Mama Cheng is not only responsible for taking care of Xuan'er, but also responsible for conditioning and inspecting the people who serve around Xuan'er.

“…… Although I bought it from outside, I am innocent. I entered the government at the age of eight, and I have been working in the house for six or seven years, and I have always been stable. ”

Ji Xiaotang nodded. It is precisely because of these reasons that she arranged this little girl to serve around Xuan'er.

“…… When I got to Xiao Shizi, I looked at it coldly, although I didn't take the lead, but in fact I was smarter than other little girls, and my mouth was very sweet, especially the people who served in Xiao Shizi's house. Not only is it sweet, but it is willing to spend money......"

But how much money can a little girl who has been sold into the house and has no one to rely on?

If it were someone else, they might have ignored it. But Mama Cheng won't. It was on the silver coin that she discovered the flaws of the little girl.

"Since then, I've paid special attention to this girl." The more you pay attention, the more strange things you find.

This little girl is too condescending to be a little girl. And her whole ambition seems to be just to get close to Xiao Shizi and the people who serve by Xiao Shizi's side.

Mama Cheng was suspicious of this little girl. Half of it was because it did find a flaw, and the other half because of intuition.

"The princess also ordered, the people and things around Xiao Shizi would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go."

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

Mama Cheng also arranged someone to guard against this little girl, and sure enough, when this little girl was about to make a move, she caught ~ in time.

"Thanks to Mama," Ji Xiaotang was sincerely grateful, "Sure enough." It's right to entrust Xuan'er to Mama's care. ”

Ji Xiaotang entrusted Xuan'er to Mama Cheng, which was equivalent to entrusting the lives of her and Xuan'er's mother and son to Mama Cheng.

Of course, Mama Cheng understands how important this is to Ji Xiaotang.

"The princess trusts me. Naturally, I did my best to repay the reward. Mama Cheng said naturally.

"I just feel a little sorry for Mama." Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er and patted him gently on the back. Xuan'er just woke up, but she didn't sleep enough, and after lying in Ji Xiaotang's arms for a while, she was sleepy again and dozed off.

Ji Xiaotang was reluctant to put Xuan'er down, so he let him fall asleep in his arms.

"The princess didn't stand up to me, the princess's affection for me, no matter what she wanted me to do, was worth it." Mama Cheng said hurriedly.

Both naturally lowered their voices.

“…… When I invited my grandmother to my house, I originally thought that my grandmother would follow me in the future, but I would help me take care of some household chores and retire in my old age. But now, ......, when Mama left the palace, she can follow me, and live such a life as before, but I am afraid that it will be more laborious than before. ”

It is precisely because of this that Ji Xiaotang feels a little sorry for Mama Cheng.

Mama Cheng smiled.

"I've figured it out, maybe this is my life. …… Thinking like this, when I left the palace and wanted to go back to my hometown, I passed through Qingyuan and stayed for a few days, as if it was just to meet the princess and then return to the capital with the princess......"

"After serving in the palace of the noble concubine for those years, I have accumulated some knowledge, and it seems that I am also here today, to be able to help the princess and take care of the little prince."

"Mama said this, it seems that there is really a providence in the dark." Ji Xiaotang also smiled, and then asked Mama Cheng why she recognized that kind of Gu worm.

"In the palace, I once heard the old palace people talk about ......," Mama Cheng told Ji Xiaotang. In the past, there were people in the palace who used this kind of Gu worm, and it did not happen in the court of the first emperor, but it was much older, and it seemed that it was when Great Qin had just ruled the world.

The person who was used with Gu worms naturally died miserably, and the person who used Gu worms did not end well in the end.

"The one who uses the Gu worm is a concubine who has been robbed of favor, and a wizard who has Miao people in the house."

Later, the family of the harmful concubine was also confiscated, but the wizard of the Miao people was not found. Some say that the wizard of the Miao people is not empty at all, and some say that the wizard of the Miao people has some magical powers and escaped through Gu worms.

Since then, this Gu worm has not been seen again. And because of the appalling matter, a gag order was issued in the palace, so very few people knew about it later. Mama Cheng was able to hear this old news from the mouth of the old palace, which was completely coincidental. She cherishes the old and pity the poor, and tries her best to take care of the down-and-out old palace people in the palace.

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

Such Mama Cheng is the Mama Cheng who will stand up when the people are in turmoil and scatter all her private soup kitchens to help refugees. At that time, Ji Xiaotang was the beneficiary, and she is still today.

This may be exactly what Mama Cheng said, fate.

“…… In the future, I asked Mama to continue to bother and save Xuan'er. It saved me. Ji Xiaotang said solemnly to Mama Cheng.

Mama Cheng hurriedly stood up and solemnly responded.

"Please rest assured, the princess will definitely do her best."

This time, he was able to stop someone from assassinating Xuan'er in time. It was not only Mama Cheng who contributed her strength, but Shen Yao contributed the most, because she was arranged by Mama Cheng to mainly monitor the little girl, and she was also the one who noticed that the little girl was even more wrong today.

Ji Xiaotang called Shen Yao to him, and he was very soothed~ comforted.

"Yao'er has also made a lot of progress in the past two years......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Shen Yao with some emotion.

Since following Ji Xiaotang from Qingyuan to the capital, Shen Yao has been serving by Ji Xiaotang's side. was also selected as a dowry to come to King An's Mansion together. In the past few years, Shen Yao has not only become much taller, but also more handsome. And the whole person has also experienced more and more mature and capable, and his temperament has been very different from the past.

However, Shen Yao's enthusiasm for Ji Xiaotang has never changed.

"It's all the cultivation of the princess, and I was able to follow the princess at the beginning. It was the best choice I've ever made in my life. Shen Yao smiled. And my younger brother, also thanks to the princess and the second master. No matter how much I serve the princess, I can't repay the kindness of the princess. ”

Shen Yao's younger brother is now studying with Second Master Ji, and Second Master Ji is already planning to let him go this year, and asserts that as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely pass the exam.

From now on, the Shen family can change their court, which is a major event for the benefit of future generations.

"You don't have to thank me all. I also want you and your brother to fight for themselves. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, and then asked someone to take some rulers and hairpin rings. rewarded Mama Cheng, Yao'er and others.

The night was already dark, and Xuan'er slept very sweetly in Ji Xiaotang's arms.

"The princess has hugged her for a long time, and her arms should be sore. It's better to hand over the little prince to me and take him to the nurse to rest. Mama Cheng suggested to Ji Xiaotang.

"That's it for today, Xuan'er will stay with me." Ji Xiaotang didn't agree.

Mama Cheng didn't insist, she could understand Ji Xiaotang's mood at the moment.

"Send someone to the front to see, is there any news from the prince?" Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er and gave the order, she wanted to know if Qin Zhen had interrogated something.

Mama Cheng immediately arranged for someone to go to the front, and soon brought back the news.

"The prince said that he would come back and tell the princess in person."

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

Sure enough, after about half a cup of tea, Qin Zhen came back from the front.

After entering the upper room, Qin Zhen did not come to Ji Xiaotang, but ordered the girl who served to bring her clothes and change them there, and then approached Ji Xiaotang.

"Xuan'er is asleep, why are you still holding him?" Qin Zhen walked to Ji Xiaotang's side and lowered his head to look at Xuan'er.

Xuan'er slept on a small ~ face flushed, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her chubby and soft appearance was really cute.

"I've been asleep for a while. I was afraid of waking him up, so I kept holding him. Ji Xiaotang said.

Qin Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Xiaotang again, he knew that what Ji Xiaotang said was not all the truth, but he did not expose it either.

"Give me a hug for a moment." Qin Zhen stretched out his arm.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Ji Xiaotang could understand Qin Zhen's mood, so he gently handed Xuan'er over.

Qin Zhen's movements were also very careful, so he took Xuan'er in his arm and held it steady.

Xuan'er slept very soundly, maybe next to her father, so she didn't wake up at all, but her little ~ mouth squirmed twice in her sleep, and then she stopped moving, and obediently slept in Qin Zhen's arms.

Qin Zhen lowered his head, sniffed the warm breath on his son's body, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Lord Wang......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen.

"The is dead." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was surprised.

"A moment of negligence, but also the cheap maid had the intention of dying, and she found a loophole." Qin Zhen's tone was light, but it was still difficult to hide the anger and murderous aura in it, "That is even more difficult than we expected......

"What did she say?" This is what Ji Xiaotang is most concerned about.

"Hmm." Qin Zhen nodded.

The little girl is a dead man, and she doesn't confide in much, but with other information, Qin Zhen still understands the general reason for the whole thing.

"Dead?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's a dead soldier who has been selected and cultivated since childhood."

"She entered the palace at the age of eight, which means that before that, she was selected for training, and then specially arranged to come to the palace?"

"That's right." Qin Zhen nodded, confirming Ji Xiaotang's judgment.

To train such a dead soldier and arrange it to lurk around the target person, the manpower and material resources required are almost incalculable. And such a dead man, her use is also immeasurable.

"Who else but her? Does this mean that none of the people around us can be trusted? Ji Xiaotang frowned and asked.

"Xiaotang, don't worry." Qin Zhen hurriedly reassured Ji Xiaotang, "It's not easy to successfully cultivate such a person." Our house has always been rigorous, and those who can serve in front of us have been tested layer by layer, she is just a fish that has slipped through the net, and now that she has been removed, let's be more careful to make sure that everything is okay. ”

Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang that there are very few such people.

This sentence, even if Ji Xiaotang still has doubts in his heart, he can't help but believe it.

Because, this is also Qin Zhen's experience.

Qin Zhen is also cultivating and arranging such a dead soldier, and no one knows better than him how low the final success rate is.

"When she entered the mansion, let alone Xuan'er, I hadn't married yet. She must have listened to Shangfeng's order to attack Xuan'er now. Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen if he had asked who had cultivated that little girl and who had directly conveyed the order to her.

Qin Zhen paused slightly before answering Ji Xiaotang's question.

The little girl refused to say who had cultivated her, or who had directly conveyed the order to her, but under torture, she still confided something.

Some of them didn't matter in the eyes of the little girl herself, but Qin Zhen could use them to continue the investigation, and combined with other news, he came to some conclusions that were extremely close to the truth.

“…… Someone has been sent to follow the clues to check, and there will be news soon. Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang.

The news can't be sent back in a moment or three, so Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang to rest first.

"You're tired too." Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang with concern, "It's enough for me to keep you and Xuan'er waiting for the news." ”

It's okay to go to bed late, the point is this horror.

"I'll wait with the prince, there is no result, and I can't sleep." Ji Xiaotang said.

The couple discussed repeatedly, and finally Ji Xiaotang had to take off his coat and lie on the kang with Xuan'er in his arms. Qin Zhen also lay down on his side, and wrapped his arms around Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er.

"Sleep, Xiaotang ......" Qin Zhen spoke, and the hot breath from his breath hit Ji Xiaotang's neck.

Ji Xiaotang's heart was relieved, he didn't want to fall asleep, but he fell asleep in a daze.

By the time she opened her eyes, it was already dark.

There was no Qin Zhen's arm on her body, but Xuan'er in her arms woke up earlier than her, didn't cry or make trouble, and looked at her quietly with a pair of big eyes. (To be continued.) )
