In addition to Feng Ming and Mama Xu, there was also a man and a woman who were escorted in with their hands tied, followed by two healthy servants carrying a cage and putting it down, I don't know what it contained.

Mama Xu revealed the mystery, "Princess Niangniang, the winter clothes of the girls in the backyard have been replaced, and the clothes that should be distributed are contained in the cages." She opened the cage, took out a jacket with the upper layer of clothing, cut it with scissors from the stitches, and took out the white cotton filled inside, "Princess, please see." ”

Willow catkins and cotton are not the same, Gu Qingyi could see the difference at a glance, "How does Mama Xu know that this is a winter coat that was replaced from the palace?" ”

"The princess doesn't know that the Liuzhu family is purchased from the house, and the clothes that change seasons over the years are all customized by her to the Splendid Pavilion, and this year is no exception. The winter clothes in this box were originally made to the size of the girls, and after being inspected by the slaves and maids before they were distributed, they stole the beams and replaced them with undergarments filled with catkins, and the replaced clothes were sold by them as ready-to-wear. Mama Xu glanced at Feng Ming before continuing, "The Feng guards helped the slaves and maids to arrest the shopkeeper of the Liuzhu family and the Splendid Pavilion, and searched the account books, and the princess only needs to check the account books to know the transactions. ”

Feng Ming took out an account book from his cuff and presented it, Gu Qingyi opened a page marked with creases, and it recorded that fifteen sets of cotton clothes and willow wool clothes were made, and the cotton clothes were first sold at a high price to the Qin Palace, and then bought at a low price a few days later, at the same time, the willow clothes were sold to the Qin Wangfu at the price of cotton clothes, so that the Qin Wangfu used the price of buying cotton clothes to exchange a batch of winter clothes at a low price.

Gu Qingyi closed the account book, her eyes fell on the middle-aged woman who was detained, guessing that she should be the Liuzhu family in charge of purchasing, only to see her face full of panic, her eyes flickering, and she looked at Siqing from time to time, looking panicked.

Gu Qingyi sneered and threw the account book directly on her, "Liuzhu's family, are you guilty?" ”

The Liuzhu family hurriedly knelt down, their eyes wandering, "Lord, princess, slave and maid are wronged, right...... It was Mama Xu who forced the slave! Mama Xu wanted to eat kickbacks, force the slave and maid to be shoddy, and then share the profits with the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion, but the slave and maid were soft-spoken and unable to resist, so she made a big mistake, and asked the prince and the princess for forgiveness. ”

Mama Xu obviously didn't expect that the matter of the Liuzhu family would bite her back to this day, and hurriedly knelt down, "Princess Mingjian, the slave maid and Siqing handle the distribution of winter clothes, the slave maid and the Liuzhu family are not familiar with each other at all, but the Liuzhu family often has dealings with Siqing, according to the slave maid, they are even more suspicious." ”

Siqing hurriedly knelt down, "The slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid are injured and recuperating, and the Liuzhu family is only visiting the slave and maid's injury, and there is no benefit." ”

Gu Qingyi didn't bother to argue with her, and directly ordered, "Seal the guards, search." ”

Feng Ming glanced at King Qin before retreating, Si Qing was uneasy for a moment, but he didn't know what to think, and quickly calmed down.

Gu Qingyi didn't pay attention to Siqing anymore, and looked at the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion, saying that they had a one-sided relationship, when Mrs. Li waited for her to go down the mountain to sell embroidery, she chose the Splendid Pavilion. It was only because Li Niangzi's ex-husband Zhang Jingwen and Zhao Ningqi were troubled that they finally left the Splendid Pavilion and chose the Xiuyun Pavilion of King Qin.

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't even dare to raise his head since he came in, naturally he didn't know that the legendary nobleman was the embroidery girl who was kicked out of the store by him, his face was gray, and he didn't even say a word of quibble, and he already understood that no matter who used the means of stealing beams and changing pillars, he couldn't eat his pocket as an accomplice.

"Shopkeeper Zhou."

Shopkeeper Zhou trembled, raised his head suddenly, and when he saw that familiar face, his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and remorse, chagrin, and fear flashed across his face one by one, obviously recognizing who Princess Qin was.

Gu Qingyi looked at him, "It is said that this concubine has a relationship with the shopkeeper Zhou, if you are willing to tell the behind-the-scenes instructions, this concubine can forgive your sins." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou was loose for a moment, but he looked up at the female dependent, and he didn't know who he was looking at, his face turned gray again, he lowered his head and said with difficulty, "The person behind the scenes is Mama Xu beside you, princess." ”

Gu Qingyi's smile faded, and a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Not long after, Feng Ming, who was searching, returned, he was not alone, but a man and a woman again, in addition, he also brought two packages, and when the packages were thrown to the ground, all the gold, silver and jewelry were scattered down, almost dazzling.

"Lord, princess, these gold and silver were found from the secret door of Siqing's room." Feng Ming's expression was cold, "These two are the family members of the Liuzhu family, they have already confessed, on weekdays, they are the ones who connect with Siqing and resell winter clothes and other items together with the Splendid Pavilion. ”

It is also said that it is not a day's work to accumulate two parcels of gold and silver.

Feng Ming's voice fell, Siqing could no longer maintain the calmness on her face, and sat down on the ground dejectedly, she was a subordinate who sold herself as a maid to save such a rich family asset, who would believe that there was nothing to be bored?

She kowtowed again and again, looking frightened, "The prince spares his life, the slave and maid know that it is wrong, the slave and maid should not be greedy for gold and silver to frame Mama Xu, but this matter is not the mastermind of the slave and maid, it is Miss Jiang, and it is Miss Jiang who instigated the slave and maid to do it." ”

Jiang Yuanyao instantly became the focus of attention.

She didn't seem to expect to be identified by Siqing, and looked surprised, "Miss Siqing, although I don't know why you framed me, but you said that I instigated you to frame Mama Xu, is there any evidence?" ”

Siqing's face turned pale suddenly, and she finally understood why Jiang Yuanyao was calm and calm, it turned out that she had already made a perfect plan. She cried and laughed, knelt on the ground, and said, "The slave and maid admit the punishment." ”

"The Liuzhu family is all sold, as for Shopkeeper Zhou and Siqing......" Gu Qingyi's voice was stunned, and he couldn't figure out what to do with the two of them for a while, this was King Qin's mouth, "Feng Ming, take them down." ”

"Yes."

Siqing and Shopkeeper Zhou were taken down by Feng Ming, Gu Qingyi didn't dare to ask them how they ended, but just looked at the women in the field with interest, and said coldly, "You guys step down, the new winter clothes concubine will let Mama Xu make up for you." ”

Jiang Yuanyao and the others all gathered in Qifuli, "Thank you for the grace of the prince and princess, the slaves and maids will retire." ”

They glanced at King Qin reluctantly, and when they saw that he didn't react, they finally retreated slowly. The lobby was suddenly empty, and even the breath became a lot fresher, Gu Qingyi was not energetic, so she went back directly and lay down softly, and King Qin also walked in and sat next to her.

Gu Qingyi had to cheer up and greet him, "Has the prince ever had breakfast?" ”

King Qin snorted, and said without a beginning or an end, "The group of women in the backyard, this king has a useful place." ”

Gu Qingyi was stunned, "The concubine body understands." ”

King Qin frowned, always feeling that her answer was very perfunctory, but he didn't know what kind of answer he was expecting, he was upset for a while, and the traces between his eyebrows wrinkled deeper and deeper.

Sensing that the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower, Gu Qingyi had a deeper understanding of King Qin's moodiness. In order to avoid his anger from fermenting, she had to change the topic, "I heard that someone came from the palace, but my father sent someone to ask you about the crime?" ”

Gu Qingyi was already ready for King Qin's perfunctory past, and he actually answered her this time, "Well, this king's position as the general of the chariot and cavalry has been removed, and he is responsible for negotiating with the Xiongnu, and he has also been handed over to the crown prince." ”

Gu Qingyi was taken aback, she couldn't help but compete with him, and asked eagerly, "How can this be?" You have great achievements and prestige, but you just injured the county lord of Yu'an, why should you be removed from your official position? ”

The source of all this came from her, Gu Qingyi was both guilty and uneasy, and she couldn't even justify her resentment.

King Qin was suddenly in a good mood, and his cold face softened slightly, "It's okay, this king was originally going to resign, but it was just in advance." ”

"Resigned?" Gu Qingyi suddenly remembered that King Qin had frequently summoned his subordinates a month ago, and he had a conjecture in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

King Qin was secretive and no longer answered her question. Gu Qingyi understood it between the lightning and flint, and four big words unexpectedly appeared in his mind - high merit and shocking the master.

The King of Qin has been in the army so far, and has not tasted defeat, and the Great Zhou only knows the god of war, but not His Majesty the Prince, and the military exploits, popular hearts and military power are all in his hands, which emperor can be stable? Even if it is a biological father and son, it is not worth mentioning in front of the imperial power.

The general of the chariot and cavalry who is in charge of the Jingshi Guards and the Palace Guard, if the King of Qin has a rebellion, it is not a problem to rebel against the palace, and the Ninety-Five Supreme on the dragon chair can no longer accommodate this son with great military achievements.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.

Thinking of his father, who was also stationed at the border pass, Gu Qingyi had mixed feelings for a while, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart, looking at King Qin's cold and cold side face in a daze, wanting to say something, but the words turned into nothingness between his lips and tongue, at this time, any language was pale and powerless.

For a general who gallops on the battlefield, there is nothing more cruel than disarming and returning to the field. Even if the King of Qin is still young and strong, with the jealousy of the emperor and the crown prince towards him, he may not have much chance to go to the battlefield again.

"The princess is worried about this king?"

His cheeks were lightly crossed by the rough fingertips, Gu Qingyi woke up from his contemplation, only to find that King Qin was leaning over her at some point, breathing between each other, and his dark and deep eyes were looking at her intently with judgment and inquiry, as if he wanted to see through her skin and into her heart.

Under his sharp gaze, Gu Qingyi felt that he had nothing to hide, and hurriedly turned his head away, and said uncomfortably, "The prince lost his official position because of his concubine, and the concubine is guilty. ”

Whether it was planned or not, it is a fact that King Qin helped her.

King Qin's thick sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and his cold and solemn face was actually a little uninhibited and handsome, "In this case, the princess and remember, you owe this king a favor." ”

Gu Qingyi, who was inexplicably in debt, was stunned, "How can the prince repay his concubine?" ”

"No thoughts." King Qin glanced at her, "When I think of it in the future, this king will inform the princess." ”

What's the difference between this and the Autumn Queen's question?

Gu Qingyi kept thinking about what King Qin would ask, and her mood became heavier and heavier, but she couldn't play tricks, so she had to pretend to be generous, and the chagrin in her heart could only be experienced by herself.

Looking at the frustration that flashed on the faces of the people around him, King Qin's depression in recent days all dissipated, and the corners of his lips were undetectably hooked, and his black eyes were dark.
