Miss Xu Shi coughed twice, and without waiting for Qiao Ran to speak, she said again: "I can know that you are here, and arrange for Princess Zhenzhen to come over at this time, except for Cheng Ze, there is no one else." ”

Qiao Ran snorted and said in her heart: Isn't there still you?

originally thought that the intermarriage of Miss Xu Shi and Xie Chengze, the two childhood sweethearts, could at least respect each other if they were not husband and wife, but they ran to her to suspect each other, not to mention the childhood sweethearts, even if they were blind and dumb married, it may not be the case if they hastily set a marriage contract!

Qiao Ran's gaze fell on her pale face and paused for a moment, then said, "I know, thank you Miss Xu Shi, you can go back and rest first!" ”

In any case, it is really uneasy to let a woman who has just woken up from her heart palpitations stand here and talk to her in the winter. Qiao Ran glanced at Pei Qingqing, who was shaking her head and stealing food on the side: It doesn't matter if Pei Qingqing is full of fresh breath and walks back to the yamen of Dali Temple with her.

Seeing that she understood, Miss Xu Shi seemed to be relieved, with a somewhat relieved smile on her face, waved her hand, and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Qiao Ran didn't watch Miss Xu Shi and her party leave, but pulled Pei Qingqing and walked to the nearest carriage and horse.

At this time, it is too late, and it is important to hurry back to the yamen.

The figures of the two girls, one big and one small, quickly disappeared into the corner of the street, and Miss Xu Shi sighed, sat back in the carriage, and then put her hands on her chest and coughed violently.

"Miss." The maid outside the carriage hurriedly handed in a pill, and then asked anxiously, "Didn't Miss take medicine before?" ”

"He has a delicate mind, if I pass out after taking medicine, I will definitely be discovered," Miss Xu Shi sighed, her pale face showing a trace of bitterness, "Besides, I also want to see him...... Will you care about me as much as before," said Miss Xu Shi's eyes flashed with gloom, and she did not speak.

She didn't speak, but the maid outside the carriage couldn't help complaining: "This Gongzi Xie is too much, the young lady fainted, and he didn't even accompany the young lady and left." ”

After all, they have made a marriage contract, and they are going to get married in the future, and they are not as good as ordinary friends who don't care about it.

"If you are sick, you have to ask for a doctor, and he didn't do anything wrong, and he is not a doctor." Miss Xu Shi lowered her eyes when she said this, "Right now, I have something for you to do." ”

The maid hurriedly answered.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, and a post was handed out from the carriage.

When she saw the name on the post, the maid seemed to be stunned? The look of surprise on his face was so great that it took him a while to come to his senses? She seemed to want to ask something, but in the end she took the post without asking anything. Su Rili looked at the ordinary and elegant maid? At this time, the figure flashed and quickly fell on the rooftops on both sides of the road? After a few ups and downs, he disappeared in front of people.

"Let's go!" Miss Xu Shi said and lowered the curtain of the carriage, closing her eyes to cover the thick tiredness under her eyes.

……

The carriage drove away leisurely in front of the Xie Mansion? This time, Miss Xu Shi didn't look back, because she didn't notice that the two figures disappeared just now, and the two heads, one big and one small, poked out again.

"I'll just say it!" Pei Qingqing's eyes were shining while biting on the walnut crisp? Proudly gave Qiao Ran a look? said, "Then the maid next to Miss Xu Shi is a master of kung fu, uh, although it can't compare to me, right?" But it's no problem to run and jump like this. ”

"Right? We're the smartest. Qiao Ran rubbed the little ball on her head and praised her with a smile.

Pei Qingqing pouted: "Miss Qiao, you should let me follow, now she has run away, there are so many forks in the road?" Even though I can run faster than her, I may not be able to keep up with her. ”

"I know you're faster than her," Qiao Ran didn't care? only smiled and leaned down and rubbed Pei Qingqing's little ball? "We don't use other people's secrets?" Just make sure that what Miss Xu Shi asked her to do is related to me. ”

Well? Pei Qingqing blinked? Tilting her head to look at Qiao Ran: she didn't quite understand what Miss Qiao meant.

Qiao Ran said, "You only need to go to one place to wait now?" Just see if she goes. After that, he stepped forward and whispered the name of a place in Pei Qingqing's ear.

That's it! Hearing the name of that place, Pei Qingqing suddenly thought about it, nodded seriously, then gave her a thumbs up, turned around and ran away.

After Pei Qingqing left, Qiao Ran walked leisurely towards the carriage and horse.

……

……

When he returned to Dali Temple, it was already past time, Zhen Shiyuan glanced up at her, and immediately beckoned to the little official to remind him not to forget to write it down. In this kind of matter, Zhen Shiyuan, the upper peak, has always been positive, Qiao Ran laughed twice, but he didn't care, but asked Zhen Shiyuan casually: "What about Xu Hexiu?" ”

"Treasury." Zhen Shiyuan looked back at her as he said and asked, "Have you finished reading Yeshi?" "He's going to be on the top of the mountain, at least he has to know what he's doing!

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Xu Hexiu told you!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan let out a "hmm" and reminded her: "This is not meddler, but you can't help Xu Hexiu in other things!" ”

He hadn't forgotten that bet! Pei Qingqing's waist is still looking at the three big purses!

"Don't worry, I'll save it." Qiao Ran said with a smile, and after saying that, she didn't go to Xu Hexiu immediately, but sat down behind her desk and began to grind the ink.

There are a lot of wild histories about Emperor Yongchang and Emperor Mingchang, and some of them are made up by later generations, but some of them may indeed be related to this in her opinion.

However, everything is based on hearsay, and naturally it is not evidence. It can be regarded as evidence, but it can also cause a lot of speculation, and it is not possible to imagine it when investigating the case.

Qiao Ran picked up the pen and began to write.

Zhen Shiyuan, who was not far away, glanced at her, and saw that she didn't move when she just started writing, and it would be the same when he came over to read it when he wrote more.

I don't know how long after I wrote it, the door of the slightly hidden room was pushed open, and a small head poked in, glanced at the inside of the room, and swaggered in.

It's Pei Qingqing.

"Miss Qiao, I'm back!" The little girl jumped up and ran to the girl who was writing, and whispered, "You are right, I really saw the maid there." Speaking of this, the little girl's brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeply, and there was a bit of surprise and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"I didn't expect Miss Xu Shi to really have something to do with that real princess, but I saw with my own eyes that the maid took Miss Xu Shi's post into the mansion of the real princess." Speaking of this, Pei Qingqing couldn't help but snort coldly to show her dissatisfaction, and then said, "I was really curious, so I secretly leaned on the roof and eavesdropped," the little girl said with a little more excitement in her eyes, she coughed lightly, raised her eyebrows proudly at Qiao Ran, and asked her, "Miss Qiao, guess what I heard?" ”

Qiao Ran smiled and followed her words and asked, "Then what did you hear?" ”

Pei Qingqing winked at her and motioned for her to come over.

After Qiao Ran did this, she heard Pei Qingqing's deliberately lowered voice ringing in her ears: "That maid and the steward of Princess Zhenzhen's family have made an appointment to meet in the teahouse at noon on the second day of the new year!" However, they didn't say which teahouse. The little girl said with a little more loneliness and puzzlement in her expression, "I listened carefully for a while, until the maid left, but I really didn't hear the name of the teahouse." ”

"Because there is no need to say the name of this teahouse," Qiao Ran smiled at the little girl's puzzled look, and she told Pei Qingqing, "Miss Xu Shi has her own teahouse, and Xu Hexiu and I have been there to sit in it before. After all, it is an important matter to discuss, according to the "reputation" of Princess Zhenzhen, Miss Xu Shi is afraid that walking with her will attract criticism, in such a situation, what place can be more suitable than her own teahouse?

Pei Qingqing helped her a lot when she heard this, Qiao Ran patted the little ball on her head, asked her to sit and play, and she began to write again.

Most of the books that can be borrowed by Xie Chengze have already been selected by him, and almost every volume has something that may be related to the "Nine Years of Yongchang", Qiao Ran is not slow to write, but he still hasn't finished writing until Xu Hexiu comes back from the warehouse.

"When did you come back, why didn't you call me?" Xu Hexiu couldn't help but complain when he saw Qiao Ran sitting on a chair and writing on a chair.

Qiao Ran didn't say anything about this, but Pei Qingqing, who was sitting on the chair and playing with two small short legs on the side, couldn't help it, and gave him a big roll of his eyes unceremoniously.

Although Miss Qiao asked her not to take the previous matter to heart, and Miss Xu Shi's matter had not yet been clarified, she Pei Qingqing still couldn't help but hate Wu and Wu.

Miss Qiao can say that the real princess who doesn't have a good eye and covets Zhang Jie's beauty deliberately painted material in her nails to hurt her, so who attracted that real princess? It's Miss Xu Shi, so this is equivalent to Miss Xu Shi almost harming Miss Qiao, how can this make her like it?

Do you know how to give people white eyes at a young age? Xu Hexiu muttered in his heart, it was very wise not to meet Pei Qingqing, who was far more powerful than ordinary adult men, but walked straight to Qiao Ran and picked up the pages she had written earlier and read them.

The pages that were written before this are from a wild history called "The Servant's Observations", which, as the name suggests, is a book written by a waiter who released some of the observations and experiences of the chamberlain, through the dictation of the chamberlain, and the record of the writer.

Of course, the inner servants around the nobles must have seen and heard much more than ordinary people, and it is not surprising to know some interesting stories about the nobles who are not outsiders, but most of the people who will buy books such as "The Inner Servants See and Hear" are going to the curiosities depicted in the books, so the compilers and recorders and even the dictated chamberlains themselves often make up indiscriminately in order to attract the attention of more curiosity seekers.

The consequence of this haphazard compilation is that after the death of the emperor who was high in the imperial city, he was usually worn with brightly colored hats by various concubines in these wild histories. Of course, the truth or falsehood of this kind of curiosity is also clear to everyone, in the imperial city, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, if it is really as depicted in the wild history, then this Son of Heaven is probably a puppet emperor. Facts have proved that no matter how cowardly the emperor encounters such a thing, it is impossible to endure it.

The pages she wrote should not have been such a curiosity! Xu Hexiu thought to himself: After all, she screened it.

As far as the eye can see, the first story she picked up from "The Inner Servant's Experience" is the story of Emperor Yongchang, and the content involved is about the Miss Taishifu.

It is about the daughter of the Taishi Mansion who entered the palace two years before the accident, and the daughter of the Taishi Mansion was thirteen cardamom years at that time, although the body was not very good, but the appearance was very good, and the description of the appearance of the lady of the Taishi Mansion with a flower and moon appearance finally had a description other than "good face".

The cardamom daughter of the princess's mansion in the mouth of the chamberlain looks like the queen's aunt, and the relationship between the aunt and nephew is very good. The prince immediately said, "My cousin is very good-looking", and the queen was overjoyed, so she asked the prince if he wanted his cousin to be the princess, and the prince was stunned at that time, and refused because his cousin was still young.

I've read a lot of books, and I may not be able to figure out any routines for the new books, but for such books that existed a hundred years ago, Xu Hexiu can also find out a thing or two.

This story is specifically mentioned in this book, obviously to write about the deep affection between the prince and his cousin, because the prince is also specially pointed out that the prince is clean and self-conscious, and there is no one around until the death of the daughter of the Taishifu, and even after the death of the daughter of the Taishifu, she looks sad and sad.

Of course, whether the prince is affectionate or not is not the focus of Xu Hexiu, who is now investigating the case, leaving aside the children and daughters to look at the matter itself, it can prove that the queen really seems to want this niece who is not very good to be the crown princess or even the future queen, just like the previous analysis of Lord Qiao from the official history. Thinking of this, Xu Hexiu subconsciously glanced at the girl who was writing a book, compared to the queen, the prince's sentence "cousin is extremely good-looking" seemed to be more polite words.

The second story is also from "The Inner Servant", which is not so "serious" compared to the previous thing, but this one is not so "serious".

This is to say that after the death of Emperor Yongchang, Emperor Ming Chang ascended the throne, and the Queen Mother felt lonely after moving to the palace, so she often recruited His Royal Highness Yongwang to accompany her, "mother and son have a deep love".

This is obviously to make the curious spectators think about it, make up a green hat for Emperor Yongchang, and even in order to lure the spectators to think in this regard, the author also described the queen mother's proper maintenance and.

Seeing this, Xu Hexiu couldn't help but hold his forehead, but they were investigating the case at this time, and she was not bored enough to deliberately pick out this one for him to hunt for curiosity.

Leaving aside the deliberate cranky thoughts, King Yong was the fifth son of Emperor Yongchang and one of the other two princes who came of age in addition to the crown prince at that time. The only son ascended the throne as the emperor, but the queen mother frequently recruited King Yong into the palace, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. It would be fine if King Yong was the son of the Queen Mother, but in fact, this King Yong was not the son of the Queen Mother, but from Concubine De, one of the concubines of Emperor Yongchang, Concubine De was the daughter of the general, so the grandfather of King Yong was also one of the most famous generals in the court.

O general! Xu Hexiu took a deep breath: He is also a well-known and prestigious military general in the army.

And when the dynasty changes and the dynasty changes, the military generals are often the most important force.
