Chapter 170: The Empress Dies

"Our people set out from the capital and searched all the way along the road on the map, and found a small military base, where it seems that some people secretly organized by the queen and the prime minister were training in it." When Ye Junhao found out about this, he was shocked and immediately reported it to the emperor.

The emperor immediately strengthened surveillance of the harem, and sure enough, he found out that the queen secretly sent people out of the palace to check on the secret organization.

Shi Yingqiu suddenly realized that her mother used to be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she must have noticed something, so she drew this secret organization on the map, but she was afraid that it would be easily detected, so she only drew lines.

"Probably because you are really her biological daughter, you have a clear mind and have noticed what is drawn on this map, otherwise if you are an ordinary person, even if you get this thing, you don't know what it is for." Ye Junhao said.

Shi Yingqiu's attention was not on Ye Junhao's quipping words, and found that a small secret organization also trained some private soldiers, which was a felony enough to cause death.

She walked to Ye Junhao's side, looked down at the things spread out on the table, it was in vain that Ye Junhao didn't think about tea and dinner for this matter in the past few days, and all the things on this table were the results of the guards' investigation.

"In this way, we should also be in the final closing stage, but these alone are not enough, have you checked whether the queen will have such a military base hidden elsewhere, otherwise I am afraid that I will alarm them if I act rashly, and then we will lose both." Shi Yingqiu asked worriedly.

The emperor had naturally thought of this matter a long time ago, and when Ye Junhao had just presented this map to the emperor, he had already secretly monitored all the people in and out of the queen's palace, and found that there was nothing suspicious except for this military base.

Ye Junhao stretched out his hand and patted Shi Yingqiu's shoulder lightly twice: "The things he is most worried about are not these, but if you do it at that time, the prime minister is likely to associate this matter with you, and if he wants to burn the jade at that time, it will not be as simple as three waves of killers, so you must stay in the palace carefully during this time, don't go anywhere, I will strengthen the manpower again." ”

In the past few days, the prime minister has probably noticed something, and even spoke a little cautiously when he went to court.

Shi Yingqiu let out a "hmm" and promised that he would never cause them trouble.

In fact, according to the current situation, the development of the beauty salon is gradually on the right track, with the support of the Queen Mother, more and more people are coming, and the demand is getting wider and wider, she should seize the time to study acne tools and related products.

With Miss Li's allergy last time, this time Shi Yingqiu has to try her best to ensure that the safety of what she does is guaranteed.

One of the most important things is to conduct a screening for allergies, and to develop a variety of products to deal with it, when someone is allergic to one product, there can be a second product to replace it.

"It's good if you ask the maid to buy some things for me when the time comes, I'll be in my yard then, and if it's okay, I won't even come out of the yard, and I won't trouble your guards." Shi Yingqiu assured.

Seeing her say this, Ye Junhao was relieved.

"I'll come to see you often if I have time, don't worry." As soon as Ye Junhao finished saying this, there were guards waiting at the door outside.

The emperor is really going to put the finishing touches on it, and there are more people coming and going in and out of the mansion every day than before.

When Shi Yingqiu saw this scene, he knew that he was not suitable to stay here any longer, so he said to Ye Junhao and still returned to his courtyard.

In the palace, as keen as the queen, she also sensed that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty didn't come to me much some time ago, why did you always come to my palace for three days during this time?" The queen leaned back on the chaise longue, frowned and looked at the palace maid beside her and asked.

Hearing this, the palace maid gently fanned the fan in her hand and said softly: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry about this matter, maybe the emperor has been thinking about you recently and remembering your benefits, so he took a look at it more?" ”

After hearing this, the queen was not half relieved, she shook her head again and again: "Impossible, absolutely not, recently the prime minister said that it seems that there are more people coming and going to Rong'an Wangfu than usual." ”

Before she heard from the prime minister, the quasi-princess of King Rong'an was almost exactly the same as Shi Yingqiu in the past, and she didn't ask why, when she was at the palace banquet, the inexplicable closeness between the prospective princess and the queen mother also made the queen feel uneasy.

However, they do not have any conclusive evidence at hand to prove that the emperor and King Rong'an have noticed something, and besides, they have always acted cautiously, and even if they detect something, they still cannot convict a person without conclusive evidence.

And Shi Yingqiu stayed in the yard honestly in the past few days, and asked the maid to buy her a lot of things.

In the backyard, as soon as you enter the door, you can smell the fragrance of flowers, and after a while, a burst of medicinal herbs will waft out.

"Miss, what are you doing here?" The maid wanted to be called the princess, but she hadn't had a big wedding yet, Shi Yingqiu thought it was inappropriate to call the princess, so she changed it back and called it Miss.

Shi Yingqiu replied while putting the half-processed herb into the gauze and wringing out the juice: "In purifying the herb, I found that there seems to be an ingredient in this herb, which is very effective for acne, but if it is not purified, this medicinal effect cannot be maximized, and if it is purified excessively, it is easy to damage your face." ”

At this time, there are no volunteers to do experiments, everything Shi Yingqiu will do a simple test on his arm, but the face is much more delicate than the skin of the arm, so Shi Yingqiu must be careful and careful.

The maid probably didn't understand what purification was, and she was a little wooden standing on the side, she wanted to reach out to help Shi Yingqiu, but she found that she couldn't start.

The maid stood aside a little embarrassed, and could only help Shi Yingqiu do some of the simplest tasks, such as washing utensils and the like.

She first used aloe vera to extract the ingredients in aloe vera, but found that although aloe vera has a relieving effect, the effect is slow and it is relatively mild in nature.

Later, I found witch hazel and extracted some ingredients from witch hazel, but found that witch hazel is much better for moisturizing and whitening than acne.

In the end, Shi Yingqiu extracted some essences from sea buckthorn fruit, mangosteen peel, and tea tree to do comparative experiments and came up with a formula. Looking at the new products that he had spent several days and nights working day and night to develop, Shi Yingqiu's heart was full of a sense of achievement.

The maids in the backyard all heard that the princess-to-be was developing cosmetics, and she volunteered to be a guinea pig when she had skin problems.

Fortunately, Shi Yingqiu's research is still relatively fruitful, and these maids took the skin care products that had just been successfully configured and used them back, and they all felt that they had an effect after a few days.

Based on this, she experimented with the last simple adjustments, and the new skincare product was completed.

At the same time, she heard that the prime minister had been arrested.

The emperor's methods were resolute in the end, and not long after learning the news, he immediately sent someone to investigate the evidence that the queen and the prime minister colluded to hide private soldiers, and with that map, this evidence was quickly discovered.

"Miss, have you heard? Because the prime minister hid soldiers privately, the evidence is conclusive at this time, and the whole family has been imprisoned, and he will be beheaded at a later date! After the maid ran out of cosmetics, she told Shi Yingqiu about the outside matter.

The maid said that the news to her was that Ye Junhao wanted her to know, and Shi Yingqiu became interested in this matter.

"Is there any movement in the palace?" Shi Yingqiu saw that this matter only mentioned the prime minister, but did not mention the queen at all, and asked.

Seeing Shi Yingqiu ask, the maid shook her head a little confused: "I haven't heard of any movement in the palace recently. ”

It seems that in the end, the emperor wanted to take care of the royal face and did not make the queen's crimes public.

Ye Junhao was the busiest time in the past two days, Shi Yingqiu had just developed a new product, and he also needed to rest and rest, although the prime minister's family had been imprisoned, Shi Yingqiu didn't wait for Ye Junhao to come back, and still didn't dare to go out, for fear of causing him trouble.

She didn't expect that in ten days, the queen would definitely have an accident, and sure enough, it was only the third day when the news came from the palace that the queen mother had coliced and died.

The emperor buried the queen with the rites that the queen should have, but even on the day of the queen's funeral, the emperor did not appear.

When Ye Junhao came back, it was already night, and Shi Yingqiu remembered that the two of them hadn't seen each other for three or five days.

As soon as she came back, Ye Junhao went straight to her yard.

"You just came back, don't you want to rest and eat something?" Shi Yingqiu was a little surprised when she suddenly saw Ye Junhao in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ye Junhao didn't say a word, and immediately stepped forward and hugged Shi Yingqiu tightly.

"You know what? I've been thinking about you for the past few days, but I can't come back, but I'm worried about you, do you know how hard it feels? In Shi Yingqiu's ears, Ye Junhao had a trembling feeling when he spoke, which showed how worried he had been in the past few days.

Originally, Shi Yingqiu still wanted to laugh, but after all, Ye Junhao was also worried about herself, so she waved her hand and asked the maid to prepare some side dishes and porridge.

"This porridge is for nourishing the stomach, you eat a little bit, wait a little bit, and then we will eat it well." Shi Yingqiu said as he handed the silver spoon in his hand to Ye Junhao.

Ye Junhao happily looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him, and said happily: "How do you know that I haven't rested well during this time?" ”
