Chapter 362: Punishment

"Does the Third Lady really not know?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled lightly, "I thought that the third lady should be very familiar with the people in Yan Shuzhai!" ”

"Is there any misunderstanding between the princesses, I really don't know what Yan Shuzhai is!" The third lady smiled and regained her composure, "What is this place?" ”

"It's just an ordinary place, the third lady doesn't know it, forget it!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "I heard that you like to go to Nanqiao Temple to offer incense, and you have to go there once a month, it should be very effective, right?" I'm also trying to pray for the son of the world these days! ”

"Although it is not as good as the royal temple, it is also quite effective, I am nothing more than praying for the health of my parents at home, so far they are in good health, so I often go to repay my wishes, the so-called sincerity is spiritual, if the next time the princess is free, we can go together!" There was a brief moment of surprise on Zhang's face, but it was back to normal in an instant.

"That's a good feeling, the third lady has to call me next time!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "By the way, the rouge of Qingyan Pavilion must be very good, Qin'er seems to often go there to buy rouge, but the rouge of the third lady seems to be used a little fast, it usually takes two or three months, and the third lady has to buy it twice a month!" ”

Zhang's brows frowned slightly, and his eyes were also full of vigilance and coldness when he looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, and he smiled lightly: "The princess is investigating me behind her back?" ”

"What is the matter!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's just that Yanyan bought rouge in Qingyan Pavilion in the past two days, and happened to meet Qin'er, so she just asked!" ”

The smile on the third aunt's face gradually disappeared: "There are more than ten maids in my courtyard, and I have sent them away, and I have used so much rouge myself!" ”

"The rouge of Qingyan Pavilion is worth a lot of money, and the third lady is really generous!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

After a while, I saw Concubine Liu bringing Qin'er over, and when Zhang saw this, he asked coldly, "Concubine Liu, what do you mean by this?" Qin'er made some mistakes, you have to tie her up! ”

"I suspect that this girl's hands and feet are a little unclean, and she thinks selfishly that she is your person, and she should be dealt with in front of you!" Concubine Liu said with a smile.

"Qin'er has been with me for more than a year, but I have never seen her hands and feet unclean, Concubine Liu, do you have any misunderstanding?" The third lady asked coldly, and at the same time, she also understood in her heart that she was afraid that her identity had been exposed, and the princess and Concubine Liu were going to join forces to deal with her.

"If there is a misunderstanding, you will know if you search it!" Concubine Liu said lightly, and gave her maid a look, and the maid searched Qin'er who was kneeling on the ground, and found a piece of paper from her sleeve, Concubine Liu took it, glanced at it, frowned, and handed the note to Jiang Xiaoyu.

Jiang Xiaoyu took a quick look, then looked at Qin'er on the ground and asked, "What did I do on this piece of paper, what did the prince do, what did the prince do, what did you do to record this?" To whom are you going to give this thing? Are you a spy sent by the enemy? ”

"This ...... Slaves and maids are not spies, these are what slaves and maids remember......" Qin'er stammered.

"Play?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "You are a servant girl, but you are doing everything possible to inquire about me, the prince and the prince, and you can deal with the past with a playful word?" Does the evidence have to be quibbled here? What is it that is not a spy of an enemy country! ”

Concubine Liu said coldly: "Concubine Shizi, the handwriting on this paper looks a little familiar to me!" ”

She looked at the third lady and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this handwriting should be yours, right?" Qin'er is just an errand runner, and the real spy turned out to be you! ”

"What a spy! Concubine Liu, be careful when you speak! I wrote down these things, but it was just to study the preferences of the prince and the princess, and then give some gifts, this Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon! The third lady said, "I didn't expect my kindness to make you misunderstand!" I'm afraid that this note is just Qin'er cleaning up for me, and I accidentally put it on my body, and there is absolutely no intention of leaking it to the outside! ”

"Although the third lady explained so, but the evidence is here, and how to deal with this matter still needs to be decided by the father!" Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't afford to have a verbal dispute with the Zhang family anymore, "Since they are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, Aunt Liu will control them first, and wait for my father to come back!" ”

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Jiang Xiaoyu was about to leave, but Zhang looked at her back coldly and asked, "I was fine a few days ago, when did you suspect me?" ”

"You know too many things, things that Aunt Liu doesn't know, but you know, this has to arouse suspicion, so sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing!" Jiang Xiaoyu said softly, and then left.

The evidence and material evidence of this matter cannot be denied by the third lady, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy is a capital crime, and she has to admit that she is Yan Shuzhai's person. She was not happy to marry into the palace, after marrying, the king of Chu was not very fond of her, and she could not have children and become pregnant, although Concubine Liu did not treat these sisters harshly, but when she married to the palace of Chu was Concubine Liu, she was a hindrance from it, and now her status is higher than herself, so she is even more resentful in her heart, when she was incense in Nanqiao Temple, she met a woman in Yan Shuzhai, after the two talked, she was not satisfied with such a waste of youth, thinking that women can also achieve some things, so she joined Yan Shuzhai, A year ago, I bought the qin'er that was originally Yan Shuzhai.

It's just that Yan Shuzhai has not given her any tasks, and she only needs to give back to Yan Shuzhai some of the situations that happened in the Chu Palace, and only after the princess married in did she try to provoke the relationship between the princess and Concubine Liu.

Yan Shuzhai is a disaster, I don't know how many women in the capital are Yan Shuzhai's people, Jiang Xiaoyu thought that Yan Shuzhai just bought all the poor women, taught talents, and then added to the princes and nobles as concubines to listen to the news, but I didn't expect that maybe they were also taking the initiative to approach other ladies, they have their own set of methods to brainwash women, and train women to become spies.

The so-called gentle township, the hero's mound, under the tender offensive, I don't know how many men have lost their armor.

Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men.

Because of the addition of these fat powder fragrances in this capital, I don't know what else will happen.

And since he knew that the third lady was from Yan Shuzhai, the king of Chu naturally would not leave the third lady behind, but after all, she didn't do anything hurtful, and she wouldn't take her life because of these things, but she just felt that Nanqiao Temple was temporarily staying, and since she liked that place, let her stay there.

At the same time, Emperor Zhou also announced in the court about the disposal of the Qi Palace, although the old King Qi was dead, after all, he made a big mistake, stripped the title of the prince, and was buried as a commoner. As for the rest of the Qi Palace, the prince of Qi was demoted to a concubine and was imprisoned in the Qi Palace, while the others were exiled to Gannan.

Although it is not a capital crime, it is just that this punishment is not light at all, which makes Jiang Xiaoyu's heart not taste.

Zhao Ling comforted her that as long as she survived, there was still a possibility of recovery, and after moving down the eldest grandson's family in the future, and overturning the case between the first prince and the Bai family, the old King of Qi would be moved to the royal mausoleum, so that the prince of Qi would inherit the throne, and let the rest of the Qi palace return to the capital.

Jiang Xiaoyu had no choice but to comfort himself like this, taking this matter as his motivation to continue to work hard.

But the next thing that came was that Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know whether to be happy or worried, the marriage between the county lord of Qiwen and the eldest grandson Chi was scheduled for the third day of the ninth lunar month.

It was known earlier that the two families were already preparing for the marriage, but the date was only now set. Jiang Xiaoyu naturally didn't want Qiwen to marry Changsun Chi, but this matter was the emperor's order, if she resisted the decree, she was afraid that she would find an opportunity for others to attack, and she was afraid that Qiwen's heart would still not be able to let go of Changsun Chi, although Qiwen called her Master, she was still an outsider in the end, and she was not qualified to object.

In the Listening Bamboo Garden, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others did not guard the four people tightly, and they often waited by the side, but when they were there, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling only talked about ordinary and trivial matters, and did not talk about the affairs of the court.

Uncle is in the body, Jiang Xiaoyu has seen Xiaodong once, it is said that his uncle's injury has recurred once, the situation is dangerous, thanks to the master's side, he can save his uncle's life, but he has to raise it for a while, Jiang Xiaoyu is worried, but he can't find a chance to visit, but the current thing is just another reminder that her uncle's time is running out, and everything has to be hurried.

Time soon came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the previous Mid-Autumn Festival was Jiang Xiaoyu's least favorite festival, when she was in Jiangfu, she could only watch her father and them live lively, and she was envious in a small corner, last year there was a second prince by her side in the north, and this year she is a little more looking forward to it, because she has her own home and family, so warm.

In the middle of August, the weather suddenly cooled down, and several large chrysanthemums bloomed in the back garden, shining as bright as the sun.

And on the morning of August 15, Zhao Qu moved back to the Chu Palace, his luggage was full of more than ten boxes, and it took a long time for his subordinates to tidy up, and the courtyard was prepared by Concubine Liu Fang a long time ago, and the maids were all matched, so he only needed to move the luggage back.

At noon, several people had a reunion dinner together, because generally speaking, they returned to the palace in the evening and dined with the Queen Mother.

There are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and Jiang Xiaoyu also understands that tonight is only afraid that it will not be calm, and a good Mid-Autumn Festival is only afraid that it will not be reunited.
