The Imperial Palace, the Lady's Bedroom.

Concubine Shu was half-lying on the soft couch, her posture was lazy, when the emperor suddenly ordered her to be grounded, she still didn't believe it, but the person who came to deliver the decree was the great eunuch Zhang Gonggong next to the emperor, although she felt unbelievable, but she could only obey the order.

"Niangniang," the confidant palace maid knelt beside her to help her pinch her calves, and said cautiously: "You were suddenly grounded by Your Majesty, do we need to find out what's going on?" ”

Concubine Shu closed her eyes and supported her head with one hand: "What else is there to check, it must be that the queen's woman blew the wind in His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty grounded the palace in a fit of anger!" ”

"The three princes are ...... there"

"You don't need to tell him about this, but it's just grounded, the palace doesn't go out, and the things outside can still be known very clearly."

"Yes."

"But since you mentioned the third prince, this palace wants to know what he has been doing in the past few days, and what this palace has explained to him, has he done it seriously?"

"The news from the Three Princes' Mansion is that the prince is seriously doing things according to your wishes, and it must be that he will be able to really start making trouble soon."

Concubine Shu smiled and slowly opened her eyes: "This palace is looking forward to that day. ”

She has been suppressed by the emperor and the empress for too long, she doesn't want to live a life of being suppressed and enslaved for the rest of her life, since she has the opportunity, she naturally has to fight, if she succeeds, this world, but it is their mother and son!

Concubine Shu waved her hand, and the palace maid who was pinching her calf immediately stopped her movements and knelt respectfully in front of her.

"The imperial doctor who asked you to solve it before, has it been solved?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Niangniang, that imperial doctor noticed that we were going to kill him, so he ran away overnight, and his whereabouts have not been found for the time being." ”

"Rubbish!" Concubine Shu glared at her: "Find the person as soon as possible, and kill them on the spot to prevent future troubles!" If he is allowed to spoil the major affairs of this palace and the three princes, you can't afford to have ten lives! ”

"Yes!" The palace maid lowered her head: "The slave maid immediately asked people to step up the search!" Never let him have a chance to leave the Imperial City alive! ”

The Imperial Study.

The emperor was reviewing the folds, and there was a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup sent by the queen mother next to him.

The effect of the medicine Jiang Qiancheng brought was good, and after taking it for a few days, his cough was relieved, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed, and his appetite also improved, even if he went to the imperial garden for a walk after reviewing the folds, he felt that it was no problem.

The great eunuch Gonggong Zhang walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother has returned from the East Palace, and that Wan'er girl has followed the fifth prince back to the palace." ”

The emperor nodded and asked, "What about the concubine?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang has been staying in the dormitory, not crying or making trouble, there is no movement."

The emperor smiled and sighed: "Concubine Shu is still the same, she has known to obey me since she entered the palace, and never let me worry about it. ”

"Since Concubine Shu is deeply liked by His Majesty, why did His Majesty confine her to the palace this time?"

"It's true that she's obedient, but what the queen said isn't necessarily false."

"What do you mean...... The lady concubine really colluded with the third prince and wanted to ......"

"Hey," the emperor interrupted Gonggong Zhang's words: "There is no evidence yet, don't talk nonsense." ”

Gonggong Zhang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly raised his hand and gave himself a slap: "Your Majesty reminded you that it was the slave who lost his words." ”

"What happened to the third prince, how is the prince investigating? What's the catch? ”

"It seems that the key has been found, but what exactly has been found is unknown, do you need to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the palace to ask?"

"No," the emperor put down the approved notebook and picked up a new one: "I just asked casually, the prince has his own thoughts, and I believe he will take care of this matter." ”

"Yes."

The emperor suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, has the new imperial doctor who added something to my medicine found before?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, he ran away, but the people sent out by the minions are pursuing him with all his might."

The emperor couldn't help but sneer: "He is quite bold, he dares to poison my medicine and take him back alive, I want to see who is behind him to do such a thing!" ”

"Yes."

In fact, the emperor already had his own answer in his heart, but he just wanted to hear with his own ears what the drugged man said, and whether the answer he said was consistent with the answer in his heart.

The next day, Yue Zhai.

When Yue Qingming woke up, it was almost noon, she came out of the room slowly, stretched her waist against the flowers and plants raised at the door, and then moved her body.

Dong Xi sat on the roof of her room, watched her movements, and then spoke: "You went to bed quite early last night, why did you get up so late the next day?" ”

"Because I'm a long sleeper."

"Long sleeper?" Dong Xi was puzzled: "What does that mean?" ”

"It means that I need to sleep longer than ordinary people every day, and if I don't sleep enough, I won't be in a state all day, which will affect my ability to deal with things!"

Literally Dong Xi understood, but he didn't understand why Yue Qingming was that long sleeper, obviously she just looked at the account book during the day.

When Ruyi came over, Yue Qingming was talking to Dong Xi about going to the market later.

Yue Qingming smiled and said: "Ruyi, you came just in time, I told Dong Xi that I would go to the market in the afternoon and buy something, you can go with us." ”

"It may not work today," Ruyi said, "and you can't go, Miss." ”

Yue Qingming was puzzled: "Why can't you go?" With Dong Xi following me, it's okay, just go shopping! ”

Ruyi cleared his throat, and then said a few words in Yue Qingming's ear.

Yue Qingming's expression immediately changed from confusion to shock: "You mean, there are dead people in the bazaar?" ”

"Yes, one of them died violently and foamed at the mouth, he should have been poisoned, and the other was stabbed to death with a knife, but there were too many people coming and going at that time, and the murderer ran away and was not caught yet."

“……”

Yue Qingming raised his forehead, looking helpless, this dead man's thing didn't happen sooner or later, but it happened when he wanted to go out to play, it was really hateful, who killed people in the market in broad daylight!

Dong Xi jumped off the roof: "It seems that you have to stay at home today." ”

Yue Qingming crossed his hands on his hips and let out a long sigh: "Alas-"
