Tan Zhiting saw that everyone was looking at her neatly, so she embarrassedly tidied up her skirt and knelt down to ask for her guilt: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the concubine is late, but the concubine's maid is not sensible, and she doesn't know how to wake up the concubine in advance." It turned out that she had taken too much nap, obviously because she was lazy and got up late, and she had to rely on Bai Hua, who was kneeling behind her, and couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

"I really don't know the rules!" Li Yunxi said in disgust, Feng Wu glanced at her unhappily, and she stopped talking stupidly. Feng Wu didn't expect that the emperor would take advantage of the joy of his birthday to grant amnesty to the harem, and most of the concubines and palace people who made mistakes were pardoned. Lee Yun-hee was lifted from the ground, and even Mu Zhu was transferred to the flower house as an errand boy, so he didn't have to be with the beast all day long.

The queen gave her a seat, Tan Zhiting took a seat tremblingly, and by the way, she glared at the maid Bai Hua angrily.

Feng Wu then began to discuss with everyone about the various matters on the emperor's birthday, and when it came to the fireworks display at the evening family banquet, Feng Wu seemed to suddenly remember: "The fireworks used in this dinner are still the special fireworks paid tribute by the Juli Kingdom in the New Year, and I don't know how different it is from what we usually use?" Xi Concubine, you should know best, you tell everyone. ”

Lee Yun-hee got up and said with a blessing: "If you go back to the queen, the special fireworks of our Juli Kingdom can only be used when the royal family holds major celebrations. This kind of fireworks is not only colorful and varied, but also has a variety of shapes; The most special thing is that this kind of fireworks needs to be lit at a specific time with a drip timer, which is indeed more complicated to operate than ordinary fireworks. ”

"That's right...... I don't know if the eunuchs in charge of lighting the fireworks know how to operate, don't go wrong! Feng Wu put on a very worried state.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the concubine has already sent the guard Pear Flower to teach those palace people how to operate, and it is guaranteed to be foolproof!" Lee Yoon-hee said with some smugness.

"That's good, that's good. However, the palace is still a little worried, and let this pear blossom stay for the palace to tell the principle of this specific operation, so that the palace has a bottom, Xi Concubine, you think it is feasible? Feng Wu symbolically asked Lee Yun-hee's opinion, how could Lee Yun-hee disagree? Full of promises.

Everyone talked a little more before they dispersed, and Rika who was left alone couldn't help but feel a little nervous, this was the first time she had faced the highest power in this harem alone.

"Pear blossom is it? Xi Concubine's personal guard? Feng Wu put away the demure and solemn in front of the Sixth Palace just now, and at this time, she spoke with a sense of nonchalance.

"It's the slave." Rika knelt down on one knee and said. Feng Wu waved her hand to excuse her, Miaoqing moved a stool in a timely manner to give her a seat, and Pear Blossom thanked her and sat down.

"Bengong is too lazy to go around the bend, so he has something to say. Hongu knows that Mama Kim is your stepmother, and your relationship is not harmonious, right? "Feng Wu gets straight to the point. Rika hesitated slightly, but didn't dare to deceive the queen, so she nodded. Feng Wu smiled and continued: "As far as this palace knows, you are secretly investigating Mama Jin and Concubine Xi...... The bold slave dares to secretly spy on the master's privacy, you are guilty! Feng Wu restrained her smile and slapped the table heavily.

"Slaves don't dare!" Rika hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and she realized that the queen left her alone because "the drunkard didn't mean to drink".

"Don't dare? This palace looks at how bold you are! Say, why do you want to listen to their every move behind their backs? If you don't recruit you truthfully, this palace will definitely send you to the Criminal Division to be tortured! Feng Wu knew that his dismount would definitely have an effect.

"The queen mother's life! It's not that the slave and maid won't say it, but there is really no conclusive evidence, and the slave and maid don't dare to say it before! It's about the face of the royal family...... Slave maid, slave maid ......" Pear Blossom spoke in a panic and was also upside down.

"If you don't say it, it will be a matter of the face of my Dahan royal family! Someone, send Pear Blossom to the Shen Criminal Division to serve ...... "Feng Wu ordered, Dequan quickly and another little eunuch held Pear Blossom and was about to drag it out, Pear Blossom subconsciously resisted.

In the struggle, Miaoqing's slender and powerful hand pressed on Pear Blossom's shoulder, and she whispered in Pear Blossom's ear: "If this is to the Shen Punishment Division, it will be a big matter." No matter if you're wrong, it's right that Concubine Xi knows that you won't end well. As for a secret you're hell-bent on tracking...... It's really a secret forever, isn't it in the hands of someone else? Why don't you be smart and work with the Queen's mother. First, the queen is willing to help you find out the truth, which is a good thing to get twice the result with half the effort; Second, even if your personal safety is threatened in the future, it is better to have something to rely on, right? How to choose, I believe you have a ...... in your heart" After speaking, she stepped aside from afar, looking coldly at the disproportionate pear blossom.

"Let go of me, I say!" Pear Blossom shook off the two eunuchs who restrained her and knelt down in front of Feng Wu, who smiled with satisfaction, and waved her hand to order them to retreat. Pear Blossom kowtowed to Feng Wu three times, and pleaded: "The slave and maid must know everything and say everything, but I also implore the queen mother to promise the slave and maid, and the ending of this matter Please Dahan must give Juli a decent appearance, and the slave and maid are grateful!" ”

"Rest assured, both the palace and the emperor attach great importance to the friendly relationship with your country, and it will never hurt the face of the two countries. Get up and speak. Feng Wu motioned for Pear Blossom to sit back in place.

Next, Rika recounted the results of her investigation over the past few months to Feng Wu.

Twenty years ago, Mama Kim gave birth to a beautiful daughter like the queen, and Rika had just turned eight years old that year. The eldest princess was born with an auspicious omen, so her full moon ceremony can be described as a celebration of the whole world. That night, Mama Jin, as an old servant, also wanted to enter the palace to congratulate, but unfortunately, it happened to be the turn of Pear Blossom's father to be on duty that night, so Mama Jin had to bring the baby in swaddling clothes and Little Pear Blossom into the palace together.

"An incident that night haunts the slave and maid to this day - after the queen showed up at the ceremony with the little princess in her arms, she handed the princess over to Mama Kim and another nurse named Mama Park to take care of her, and she went to the main hall to celebrate with the concubines. There was a period of time when Mama Park went out for a while, and I was also running around in the hall alone, only Mama Jin and her daughter were guarding the little princess. When Grandma Park came back, she found that Grandma Kim's daughter was crying incessantly, which caused the princess to cry too, and she was a little unhappy, and after putting the princess to sleep, she invited us out of the princess's bedroom. At that time, the slave was small and playful, and slipped back to the dormitory while the adults were not paying attention. The slave maid was curious about the legend that the princess had an auspicious birthmark, so she wanted to see it. The slave remembered that the color and shape of the birthmark were a little strange, and how to put it, it was slightly unnatural. The slave and maid also secretly told Mama Jin, but I remember that Mama Jin's expression was very panicked at that time, and she also warned the slave and maid not to talk nonsense, saying that the slave and maid were dazzled and wrong! After saying that, he also bombed the slave and maid into the courtyard. After that, without waiting to say goodbye to the queen, he hurried out of the palace with the child and the slave. The seeds of Pear Blossom's doubts were planted from that time, until a month later, Mama Jin's child died violently, and Pear Blossom was even more puzzled by this stepmother.

"So, you said that you suspect that the identity of the eldest princess is suspicious, and it is very likely that Mama Jin knows the reason?" Feng Wu felt that things were getting more and more interesting.

"Yes. The more the slave grows up, the more she feels that something is wrong, and she always suspects that the current concubine is not the real eldest princess. Isn't it strange that the queen must have seen our little princess at the Wan Dynasty Meeting, and the eldest princess is not very similar to her mother, but her appearance and character are not very similar? Rika was excited.

"This alone can't prove that Lee Yoon-hee is not a princess." Anything that has to be evidenced and caught in the wind and shadows cannot be done.

"The slave knows that the slave has other discoveries. The slave maid had a good relationship with the two close attendants of the eldest princess, and when they were bathing together in the hot spring palace, the slave maid accidentally saw a scar the size of a copper coin on Zhihui's shoulder blade, although she tried her best to cover it up, but it was still discovered by the slave's sharp eyes. And the simple and straightforward Zhiya also accidentally said that the birthmark on the princess's shoulder flickered, which made the slave maid can't help but link the two things together. From the connection between the two things, Rika deduced that Lee Yoon-hee was likely to be transferred.

"What do you mean...... Suspect that the handmaid named Ji-hye may be a real princess, and Lee Yoon-hee's birthmark is fake? It's ridiculous! Feng Wu obviously couldn't believe Pear Blossom's groundless speculation.

"It's not that Zhihui is a princess, it's just that there is a possibility of being transferred, or the identity of the princess is taken up in some similar way. Although the slave maid has no evidence, the slave maid just feels that Mama Jin's every move is very suspicious, especially after the death of the little sister! She must have done some unseemly evil when the poor little sister of the slave maid hurt the yin owl and couldn't survive the moon! Ask the queen to help the slave and maid find out the truth, return justice to the Guli royal family, and punish those wicked people who have lost their conscience, so as to comfort the souls of the slave and maid's relatives in heaven! "Pear Blossom's suspicion and resentment towards Mama Jin are already freezing three feet, not a day's cold.

"It is not trivial to confuse the royal bloodline, and this palace will naturally continue to investigate. You also have to keep an eye on Mama Jin and them, and find more opportunities to contact those two close attendants, maybe you can find any clues. Feng Wu knew that she had successfully incorporated Ewha and would have another boost to deal with Lee Yoon-hee in the future.

"The slave understands." Pear blossom obeys the phoenix's instructions.

"By the way, this palace still wants to ask. Think about it, was there anything unusual when Mama Kim's children died? Feng Wu still felt that things were not as simple as she imagined.

Rika shook her head and said, "That's not true, it's just that it's a sudden illness, and it's gone in a few hours." The corpse slave didn't see it......" Rika recalled carefully, and suddenly thought: "That's right! If you want to say something is wrong, my sister cried very miserably the night before she died! But Mama Jin kept holding and coaxing, and didn't let others interfere, and we didn't know what was going on, and it was too late to invite Lang Zhong the next day. It's just that both the slave and the father had a faint smell of burnt flesh......"

"This palace remembers that the eldest princess and your sister are both birthdays in winter?" Feng Wu asked casually, Pear Blossom nodded to confirm, and Feng Wu had some signs in her heart: "Okay, the operation process of lighting fireworks on the drip timer you explained is generally understood." Just do what you have to do and step down. Rika understood the hidden meaning of the queen's words, and bowed a few times and retreated.

"What does the mother understand? But what do you need the minions to do? Miao Qing asked with a cup of tea for Feng Wu.

"Send a message to Juli and let the spies spread the rumor that Lee Yun-hee's blood is not right; It's the same in the palace...... And he will also direct the spearhead to the servant girl named Zhiya. Remember, it's the simple and weak Zhiya! Feng Wu took a sip of tea, and her mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
