The matter of grain, Lin Chen'an roughly understood, there should be foreign businessmen deliberately stockpiling grain, and buying the government, Daqi is not not allowing foreign businessmen to buy grain, but there is a certain amount, since it is involved in the government, it proves that it must not be as simple as a few thousand stones, but in contrast, Lin Chen'an is more concerned about another thing.

"What are the princes and princesses of Nanwu doing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, when I first arrived in Jiangnan, the crown prince Ji Tang was unwell, lived in a simple house, and recuperated for a few days, but the princess Ji Yan and her guards had a lot of fun."

"Not feeling well?" Is it such a coincidence? Lin Chen'an was a little unconvinced: "Does the matter of food have anything to do with Nanwu?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, although Prince Nanwu is sick, he occasionally goes out, and I can't see if it has anything to do with this matter." The little official was not sure, and his words were very mellow: "As for the granary, it is a terrible place, the locals have lived for decades and don't know it, and there is still something else in the forest!" ”

The locals didn't know about it for decades, but the people who bought the grain knew that they must be very familiar with Daqi, and Ji Tang's suspicion was naturally lighter.

"Corrupt officials should be punished, but this group of businessmen can't ignore it, let Zhang Quanmiao investigate it carefully." Lin Chenan waved his hand: "Stand down!" ”

"Wechen retires!"

The person is gone, but Lin Chen'an still has some ominous premonitions in his heart.

"Ah Qi!" At the sound of an order, Ah Qi had already appeared in the room: "Is there anything abnormal about the prince of Nanwu?" ”

"After the arrival of the guard Wu Ma Heng's uncle and nephew, it will not be easy to approach." Ah Qi frowned, "But Prince Nanwu once went to the wilderness and didn't come back all day. ”

"All day?" Lin Chen'an snorted coldly, "Does it matter if this is Zhang Quanmiao?" ”

"Prince Nanwu is a careful person, and after going out, he also brought some persimmons back, saying that he was picking persimmons, but because they were not ripe, they were thrown away in the end."

"Ridiculous!" Although Lin Chen'an can't be sure whether it has anything to do with it, he still can't easily relax his vigilance, after all, once the matter of food is involved, once it is involved in diplomatic relations, then the problem will be big, "What happened later?" ”

"Now they travel every day, there is nothing else, if it is really done by them, the food is destroyed, there should be something abnormal!" Ah Qi is just a guess, but this kind of speculation can only be said in other ways, Lin Chenan also thought of this, but still asked Ah Qi to keep an eye on it.

Qiao Yanran still hasn't found it, Luo Yan is nowhere to be found, and it is even very likely that she has been alarmed, and the court is also full of miasma, Lin Chen'an is very helpless, but these things are not so urgent, and she can only take precautions for now.

When Lin Chen'an was anxious, he suddenly thought of a person, that is, the concubine, since the queen was deposed, I don't know when it started, everyone omitted the word "high", for women, high is not a very glorious thing, so Lin Chen'an also acquiesced.

"Let's go to the palace of the concubine." Naturally, this was not said to Ah Qi, so he retreated very acquaintedly, and Grandpa Zou outside the door turned around to open the door when he heard this, and consciously followed behind Lin Chenan, Lin Chenan's habit He has always known, although he doesn't know what is being talked about inside, but judging from this reaction, it must not be a good thing.

Father-in-law Zou is a good person, and he always knows how to save his life!

If you want to go to the concubine's dormitory, you don't actually have to go through the Jiaofang Palace, but Lin Chen'an wants to stop by the way, no one can help it, Zou Gonggong walked through the palace with an expressionless face, and didn't even take a second look, and the other guards were the same, only Lin Chen'an, staring at the closed door until he couldn't see it.

"Let's go back!" Suddenly, Lin Chen'an sighed, but as if he didn't know anything, Grandpa Zou only beckoned his subordinates to go back.

But at this time, there was a very slight sound in the Jiaofang Palace, although it was slight, but all the people heard it, there was someone in the Jiaofang Palace? Lin Chen'an walked directly to the gate without waiting for the guards to investigate. The guards were still very smart, and they didn't need to be ordered at all, and they opened the door of the Jiaofang Hall in a few steps.

In fact, Lin Chenan is very familiar with this palace, but after entering the door this time, he saw a completely unfamiliar scenery, the things that Qiao Yanran liked were still there, but they had all changed, overgrown with weeds and dusty everywhere. Lin Chen'an gestured to the people behind him, and the guards dispersed.

"Your Majesty, catch a little girl." Not long after, a guard returned, and dragged a crying little palace maid in her hand, thinking that she had made the movement just now.

"Still on your knees?" Father-in-law Zou suddenly scolded, in fact, there was no need to do this at all, the palace maid was already weak when she was arrested, and this scolding just made her sober.

"Slave maid...... Slaves...... See Your Majesty! The girl's voice was trembling, and she was scared.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Chen'an's voice was very calm, and his eyes were also calm, but it was such a tone that made the palace maid feel death.

"The slave is just passing through."

"Bold minion! Don't tell the truth yet! "This time it was Gonggong Zou who spoke.

This reprimand was even more sudden, the palace maid trembled, and finally said: "Someone asked the slave maid to take samples, and the slave maid knew that it was wrong!" By the time she finished speaking, she was already crying.

"Who told you to come and take what?" Lin Chenan no longer looked at the little palace maid, but instead bypassed her and took a few steps forward.

"Yes...... It's the Queen Mother! ”

"Nonsense!" Gonggong Zou glanced at Lin Chen'an, and hurriedly interrupted the little palace maid's words, but it was too late.

Lin Chenan turned around, as if he was not surprised: "What to take?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." The palace maid was still lying on the ground, crying quite sadly: "The grandmother next to the Queen Mother has ordered, if you see something strange, take it back." ”

Something weird?

Lin Chen'an was really curious, so he asked the guards to search again, but found nothing. Lin Chenan didn't have the heart to punish such a little palace maid, he turned around and was about to leave, just walking, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you think, what kind of thing is the strangest?" ”

The little palace maid didn't speak, Lin Chen'an was a little impatient, and directly ordered a guard: "You, follow her around, if she thinks it's strange, take it back to me." With that, he turned and left.

After the guard received the order, he didn't see pity for the fragrance and jade, and dragged the little palace maid into the interior of the Jiaofang Palace, but when no one saw it, he quietly supported her, lest she couldn't walk.

"Look around here, is there anything special?"

"I didn't ...... No! ”

"Your Majesty, the Jiaofang Hall has been explored!"

Lin Chenan didn't return to the study, just sat in the imperial garden, and when he heard this, he stood up directly: "Say!" What's weird? ”

"A bird!"

Lin Chen'an looked at the guard, then at the little palace maid a little farther away, and asked, "Bird?" What's so strange about this? ”

The palace maid knelt down, her voice was a little more stable, but she was still a little trembling: "Back to Your Majesty, the Jiaofang Palace has always been desolate, but this bird seems to have been living in the Jiaofang Palace, why don't you leave!" ”

Lin Chen'an looked at the bird, and finally remembered that at the beginning, Qiao Yanran had raised such a bird, but then she raised a cat again, so she let the bird go, but then it seemed that she had raised another one and let the cat toss.

"Go, find a cage, and keep it in the dormitory in the future." These words were instructed to Zou Gonggong, but Ah Qi in secret had a big head.

He also knew this bird, originally domesticated as a little messenger, specifically to remind her when Qiao Yanran was inconvenient, but then that kind of cat always likes to scare it, maybe it was too frightened, this bird can't report the news, Qiao Yanran simply let it go, but she didn't expect it to come back again.

Luckily, the bird doesn't recognize people!

Just when Ah Qi was rejoicing, the Queen Mother came, and what she said made Ah Qi feel cold.

"I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know, this bird is not ordinary." Lin Cai'er sat down and stretched out the clothes on her body: "There are many things to report in the rivers and lakes, and birds are the most common one, and their biggest feature is - to recognize the Lord!" ”

Yes, this bird recognizes the Lord, others don't recognize it, but they will always recognize Qiao Yanran, that is to say, as long as there is this bird, if Qiao Yanran appears in disguise in the future, she will definitely be recognized! This bird must die!

"What does the Queen Mother want it for?" Lin Chen'an was very puzzled, did she still plan to go out of the palace to find Qiao Yanran?

"Nature is just in case." In fact, Lin Cai'er didn't think about it, because she only thought that there would be something to report, and she didn't think about how to use it, but she knew that this thing couldn't give Lin Chen'an, after all, he couldn't tell Qiao Yanran's emotions, and it was very likely to be planted on it in the future.

After living under Lin Cai'er for so many years, Lin Chen'an can naturally understand what Lin Cai'er means: "Queen Mother, let's still raise it!" "Because I'm afraid that Qiao Yanran will be killed by you as soon as she is recognized!

"Emperor, the matter has come to this, what else do you want?" Lin Caier's mouth was full of sarcasm: "Do you still expect her to really fall in love with you?" ”

"You!" Lin Chen's peace of mind hurts, this is his scar, touch it once, it hurts once!

"The concubines see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother!"

Just when the two of them were tense, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly appeared, and Lin Chen's eyes were fixed and it was the concubine, "Why are you here?" ”

"The concubine came out to breathe, and she came here." Tu Yanyan smiled: "Unfortunately, I just happened to meet Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, so I stepped forward to say hello." ”

"Stand down!" Lin Caier didn't have any feelings for Tu Yanyan, she didn't hate it, and she didn't like it much, and she didn't plan to embarrass her at this time.

"Yes, the concubine is retired!" Tu Yanyan was not angry, he bowed to himself, and was about to leave.

"Wait, you're back!" Lin Chen'an seemed to suddenly think of something, and directly stopped Tu Yanyan: "I saw that this bird is quite spiritual, so I gave it to you, it is good to live and raise, something went wrong, but you ask!" ”

"Emperor, you!" Lin Cai'er was so angry that she couldn't speak!
