Ten days later.

It was another day of worship in the harem, and because Chu Yue needed to recuperate, the queen directly exempted her from worshipping for three months, so that she was quiet.

At noon, Chu Xi panted and walked in, "Talented, it's done." ”

Chu Yue put down the book in his hand and looked at Chu Xi, "Fengqi Palace hasn't dispersed yet?" ”

"Talented, the pawnshop run by Gu Baolin has appeared in the palace, some of which are lost items in various palaces, the queen was furious when she learned about this, and ordered a thorough investigation, and the emperor was found for this."

Zhou Jieyu's previous incident made the queen suffer a big loss, and she was indifferent by the emperor for several days.

This time she caught Gu Baolin's mistake, and of course the queen refused to let it go easily.

Gu Baolin is Wan Guifei's person, if Gu Baolin has something, it is difficult to guarantee that Wan Guifei will not be involved.

Just enough for them to eat dogs.

Chu Yue got up and walked to the inner room, and half an hour later, a palace maid from Yingyue Palace walked out of the palace with a waist card.

Walking out of the palace, Chu Yue exhaled deeply, and I have to say that the air outside the palace is much better than the air inside the palace.

One more taste of freedom.

Along the way, Chu Yue relied on the instinct of an agent, and after sparing two laps, he confirmed that he was completely safe and walked into a small courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, Chu Yue didn't dare to take another step.

Obviously, she is not the original owner, but for some reason, she has an urge to cry.

Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Chu Yue stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Ahem...... Come in. ”

This voice made people feel sad for a while, Chu Yue exhaled heavily, suppressed the sadness, opened the door, and walked in with his feet raised.

What catches the eye is the simple furnishings, the square table, the cups on the table are a little dazzling, and I don't know how long it has been used.

Chu Yue raised her eyes and looked at the largest furnishing in the room, the bed.

At this time, a man was wearing a single coat, covering the position of his heart, and he was struggling to stand up.

Chu Yue reflexively closed the door, stepped forward and pressed him, "Don't move, the injuries on your body can't move." ”

"Sister, is it really you?"

Chu Yue realized that because he was out of the palace in disguise, he couldn't see his original appearance at all, "I am now a concubine, and if I want to leave the palace, I naturally have to waste some thoughts." ”

Chu Yongshou swallowed a mouthful of saliva excitedly, "Are you really a sister?" ”

"Who else can I be, by the way, this is a jujube paste cake made of rouge, your favorite, every time you are beaten by the second uncle, you like to eat this."

Chu Yue took out a few pastries wrapped in a handkerchief from the baggage and handed them over.

asked about the familiar taste, Chu Yongshou finally shed tears, "Sister, do you remember!" ”

Chu Yue's eyes were also red, "Third brother taste it, how does it taste?" ”

Under Chu Yue's gaze, Chu Yongshou picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, with a few lines of tears hanging on his pale face.

"It's still the same as before, it's delicious."

After Chu Yongshou bit a piece, he put it away like a baby.

Chu Yue thought he was reluctant, "Third brother, it won't taste good if you leave it for a long time, I'll have someone bring it to you if I have the chance." ”

"No, I want to keep it for my father."

Second uncle?

Chu Yue followed Chu Yongshou's teary eyes and looked at a small desk at the end of the bed, on which there were two tablets.

She almost forgot that the second uncle of the Chu family died young.

Placing the pastry in front of the tablet, Chu Yue put on another stick of incense, so that he had time to talk to Chu Yongshou about the Chu family.

"Third brother, I came out secretly this time, time is pressing, how much does the third brother know about the Chu family?"

"Sister, I only know that the uncle was wronged, and the one who wronged him was the squire of the military department, who was below his father."

Chu Yue searched in his mind, "That's what you're talking about, there are four squires in the military department!" ”

"It's Cai Shilang, he has the best relationship with the uncle, when the uncle had an accident, he was a witness, if there was no confession, maybe the uncle would be fine."

Cai Shilang?

Chu Yue didn't have a trace of impression of this Cai Shilang, and there was no record in the original owner's codex.

But this can't be blamed on the original owner, most of the original owner's codex records everything in the palace, as well as the feelings of missing the Chu family.

Others are rarely mentioned.

"Third brother, who reported the father at the beginning, do you remember?"

"No one reported it." Chu Yongshou spoke helplessly.

Chu Yue was puzzled, "No one reported it, how could the embezzlement of military supplies be discovered?" ”

Chu Yongshou coughed, and then sighed, "This matter is also coincidental, when there was a locust plague in the Linnan area, the people had no harvest, the emperor gave 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver, but a month later, the people suddenly rioted, the original 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver, to the hands of the people was less than 100,000 taels, the people of Linnan could not live, this matter was disturbed, when the emperor was furious, and ordered the great Sima and the prime minister to cooperate with the six departments to investigate this matter thoroughly......"

Chu Yue didn't come back to his senses for a long time, "That is to say, when I thoroughly investigated the corrupt officials, I found out the past accounts of the Ministry of War, and then found out that my father embezzled military supplies and resold them to make huge profits?" ”

"Yes, at that time, the emperor was angry, and the evidence was conclusive, when the uncle was an official in the court, he was honest and honest, and never interfered in the partisan dispute between the big Sima and the prime minister, so when the uncle had an accident, no one defended him, because the matter of the disaster riot was very serious, and the uncle was found to have embezzled nearly one million taels from the books, although the matter of the disaster relief silver had nothing to do with him, but the emperor still threw his anger on the Chu family, all the adult people in the Chu family were exiled, and my two brothers and I were sentenced to confiscate the army."

One can imagine how difficult the Chu family was at that time.

Embattled and falling into the well, Chu Yue's heart ignited a trace of anger.

Even the gaze that looked at Chu Yongshou was a little ruthless, "Did the silver two for disaster relief finally find it?" ”

Chu Yongshou was shocked by Chu Yue's gaze, and said timidly, "The result of the investigation of the imperial court is that it was robbed by a group of bandits, and the prefect was worried that he would be blamed and concealed it, which caused the people to riot." ”

"How did the emperor punish that prefect?"

"The prefect committed suicide by taking poison in the mansion, because the prefect was honest and honest, and the emperor once issued a decree to praise him, and now that such a thing has happened, the emperor naturally can't slap himself in the face, just scolded a few words, and handed it over to Da Sima to deal with."

On the surface, everything seems so reasonable, but Chu Yue found a few doubts in it.

But now was not the time to delve deeper, she glanced at the time, and if she didn't go back, she would probably be discovered.
