Chapter XXVI

I hurried to the storeroom with my vouchers, fearing that I would be delayed too long and that my father-in-law, who was in charge, would leave.

"Whoa!" I gave my father-in-law the credentials and said, "Now it's all right!" ”

The father-in-law looked at it and said to the people inside: "Shangqing Palace received one hundred and two taels of monthly silver......

Then a father-in-law took out the silver and put it in my purse, and I took the bulging purse and walked back.

After passing through the Ichinomiya Gate, a man stopped me......

It's a flower curtain cheap!

"Sister Onkyo, long time no see!"

I ignored him and kept walking, but he stopped me again.

I asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Hua Mu Lian smiled and said: "I happened to pass by, and I ran into you, isn't this fate?" ”

I said, "Didn't you wait for me here because you knew that I was going to receive the moon silver today?" ”

"Hey, hey! Sister Onkyo is smart! I like it! As he spoke, he pinched my chin.

I angrily said, "Let go!" Then we have to go.

"Don't be in a hurry! I haven't seen you in such a long time, I miss you! How are you doing? Let me take a good look! ”

He looked me left and right......

I said angrily, "It's more comfortable than living in your courtyard!" ”

Hua Mulian smiled and said, "Heh! Will you be poor? ”

I didn't have the heart to talk to him, I was about to leave, Hua Mu Lian said again: "Didn't you find that kid Hua Mu Ning very strange?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Huh! Speaking of the crown prince, you are interested! ”

"If you don't say it, forget it!" I turned and walked away......

"Humph! I've been staring at him every day since I got better! ”

"Shut up!" I said, "Brother Prince is the dragon and phoenix among people, how can a scoundrel like you talk about it casually!" ”

"Dragons and phoenixes among people? Scold! What am I not better than him? If the title of crown prince was not given to him by his father, what would he be? ”

Then, he said, "I want to remind you today not to be deceived!" ”

"What?"

"Think about it, Hua Muning's kid has been sick for so many years, and he has not been cured by famous doctors all over the world, why did a miracle doctor suddenly appear and cure his illness? And after you get better, it's like a different person, don't you think it's strange? ”

I said, "That's because after the prince's brother recovered from his illness, his preferences also changed, and it's normal for a person to change, isn't it?" Hasn't His Royal Highness King Lian also changed? I kept saying that I was not interested in the position of the prince, and I just wanted to be an idle prince, I think that His Royal Highness King Lian is very interested in the position of the prince! ”

"You! Oil and salt do not enter! ”

"Humph! Hua Mulian, don't think I don't know what you want to do, I won't be provoked by you! Brother Prince is gentle and kind, treat me as before, even if he changes, he is still my brother Prince, you can't compare to anything at all! After saying that, I walked in the direction of Shangqing Palace.

Hanamaki Lian said behind me, "Think about what I said......"

I ignored him.

After two more palace gates, I asked Gonggong Liu to send the moon silver to the palace people, and Gonggong Liu was happy to do it.

I sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, thinking back to what Hanamaki had said. He is right, the prince's brother has indeed changed a lot, just like a different person, but what is there to suspect about this, even if the prince's brother has changed, he is still the prince's brother, this can't be changed, unless......

No! No!

How could I have such a terrible thought? He is not the prince's brother, who is the prince's brother?

I patted my head and said to myself, "What a fool! Listen to what the flower curtain is talking about! He must be coveting the position of the crown prince, looking forward to the bad of the prince's brother! ”

"An is in charge", Gonggong Liu walked over with a smile and said, "The palace people's monthly silver has been distributed, this is the note for the issuance of the monthly silver, and the remaining nine taels of silver belong to you and Brother Fengshu." Then he placed the note and the rest of the moon silver on the table.

"My father-in-law is happy."

"Misfortune is misfortune, this is what a slave should do."

I asked, "Gonggong Liu, do you know Mu Xu?" ”

"The slave only knew that since the slave came to Shangqing Palace, Brother Mu Xu has been following His Royal Highness the Prince, almost inseparable, His Royal Highness was still sick at that time, and Brother Mu Xu followed wherever he went, for fear that he would not serve well."

I asked again, "Do you know when he left?" ”

"Hmm...... The minion didn't know, but I heard that he had taken leave and gone home. ”

"Then do you know what is going on with Li? It is the former head of Shangqing Palace. ”

Gonggong Liu replied: "The slave doesn't know, since the slave came to Shangqing Palace, there is no charge in this palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are not many things in the palace at that time, and there is no need to be in charge." ”

It seems that what Gonggong Liu said is consistent with what the palace man said.

"If Ann has no other orders, the slave will retreat first."

"Well, you go about your business."

Now one thing is clear, that is, a year ago, the prince's brother changed all the palace people in Shangqing Palace, and Mu Xu also took leave and went home. A year ago, the prince's brother was still sick, why did he change all the palace people?
