"Okay, I got it. ”

The little eunuch left with his things, Mu Jiaren took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to do things.

Xiao Shunzi sent the pastries to the cold palace, and Concubine Qi couldn't help but sigh after tasting them: "It's this taste, Miss Xia Zhu is really smart." ”

"I asked someone to inquire, that night Ruoxia went to find Concubine Shuniang in advance, there seemed to be a dispute, Concubine Niangniang hit Ruoxia in a fit of anger, I didn't expect her to be pregnant, I saw it red at that time, after the emperor came up, this matter was reported by Ruoxia."

Zhan Zhexiu was a little puzzled: "Did Ruoxia say everything?" ”

"Yes, Gonggong Cao did not purify his body, and insulted her and Wei Zhaoyi, and these were all instructed by Concubine Shu, as for Concubine Shu's children, Ruoxia also insisted that it was Gonggong Wei's, and their previous engagement relationship was also revealed."

Zhan Zhexiu nodded in admiration: "Miss Xia Zhu is really amazing, she can even make Ruoxia tell everything." ”

"Yes, I'm still wondering if Concubine Shu will withdraw from the responsibility, but I didn't expect Ruoxia to finish everything alone, and then she hit the wall and died, and the emperor decreed that she was killed with a cane, and she should be afraid of the face of the royal family."

Xiao Shunzi and Wang Gonggong next to the emperor are cousins, Wang Gonggong followed the emperor to the palace of the concubine, and he knew very well what happened that night.

"By the way, Miss Xia Zhu gave me some silver, saying that she was trying to find a way to bury Ruoxia." Junko puts the money on the table.

Concubine Qi nodded: "She is also a poor person, Ah Zhe, you go and arrange it." ”

"Yes." Zhan Zhexiu agreed, "I didn't expect that Concubine Shu's father's purchase and sale of official positions was exposed together, and even the nine clans were punished. Zhan Zhexiu heard about the previous dynasty, and he was really shocked when he heard it, all this is too coincidental.

"Is Miss Xia Zhu really just a palace maid?" After hearing this, Concubine Qi couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"It should just be a palace maid, even if she comes from a famous family, it is impossible to know the people of the court, this time it is not only the father of the concubine, but also many local officials, due to the large number of people and the wide involvement, Prime Minister Han personally wrote a fold to the emperor."

Concubine Qi thought for a moment and said: "Yes, it must be a coincidence, but fortunately, God opened his eyes and let the guilty pay the due price." ”

"Niangniang, do you still do what you said before? Wouldn't it be too dangerous? Xiao Shunzi was a little worried, Concubine Qi wanted to regain her favor in many ways, but Mu Jiaren suggested that it was still the same as this time, and she must succeed in one fell swoop.

Concubine Qi shook her head: "Concubine Shu's ugly matter, the emperor still has some affection, but I was framed at the beginning, no one pleaded, and even the emperor intended to let me explain, but the queen stopped me, Miss Xia Zhu is right, some things must be won in one fell swoop." ”

When the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the concubines after that were all princesses, and she was very likely to give birth to the first prince after the emperor ascended the throne.

"Okay, then we'll get ready." Zhan Zhexiu also made up his mind.

In the evening, it rained lightly in the sky, Mu Jiaren held a paper umbrella and went to the Xinzhi Library, where he did the most tiring and bitter work, if he was not serious, he was likely to be beaten all over his body by the eunuch in charge.

Mu Jiaren changed into the clothes of a palace maid, stuffed some broken silver into the housekeeper's grandmother, and found Qiushui, the former close maid of Concubine Shu.

Overnight, Qiushui instantly aged a lot, her hair was messy, and her clothes were very shabby, she looked up at Mu Jiaren, but she was blocked by a paper umbrella and had a veil, so she didn't know who it was.

"What are you looking for me?"

"I want to know why Jin Qiao died."

Qiushui seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly stepped back: "I don't know, she committed suicide, I don't know ......"

Mu Jiaren threw her some broken silver: "I'm not here to hold her accountable, Concubine Shu is dead, I just want to know what the reason is." ”

"I ...... I don't know......" Qiushui still shook his head as he looked at the silver in his hand.

"Now that you are in the Xinzheku, this silver will make your life a little better, and people should plan more for themselves when they live."

After Mu Jiaren persuaded her, her tone became a little harsh: "I can also use this money to make your life more difficult in the future." ”

Qiushui's body shook, and then raised his eyes to look at her: "I don't know much. ”

"Tell me everything you know."

"Yes."

Qiushui told her that the reason why Concubine Shu beat Jin Qiao was because Gonggong Cao liked Jin Qiao, and later Jin Qiao concealed that Concubine Shu was pregnant, and planned to give birth secretly, Concubine Shu forced her to have a fetus, and then began to beat her every day, she was worried that Jin Qiao would be pregnant again, and Gonggong Cao's identity would be exposed.

"In that case, why didn't she seek death before, but killed herself after being beaten for so long?"

"Jin Qiao thought about dying before, but she still has a family, probably because she is afraid of affecting her family."

"Her family is gone?"

"Well, I heard that there was a famine in her hometown, and her family seems to be starving to death."

Mu Jiaren sighed silently, Jin Qiao's life was so bleak.

"Why did she eat against Grandpa Cao?"

"I don't know the specifics, I only know that her sister used to work in the palace of the princess, and later contracted the plague, and the queen felt that she was deliberately trying to infect the prince and the princess, so she was sent out of the palace and executed, and even hated Jin Qiao."

It turns out that this is the case, the queen is the biological mother of the prince, and now the emperor is still in the prime of life, and there are no other princes under his knees, so the queen naturally protects the prince tightly.

Mu Jiaren turned to leave, and Qiushui froze in place, for fear that she would come to kill her.

Mu Jiaren stopped not far away, turned to her and said, "I don't want anyone to know about today's events." ”

Qiushui immediately replied: "I...... I know. ”

She didn't know anything, a palace maid could have such an atmosphere, which made her body tremble unconsciously, as if she could destroy everything at any time.

At this time, in the palace of King Shuo, Beichen Shuo's whole person was very gloomy: "How did you find Concubine Shu, why is she so stupid, and she wasted the support of this king!" ”

The cronies did not dare to say anything, when the queen gave birth to the prince, Concubine Qi was favored, and the prince arranged for a few women to enter the palace, and the last one who stayed was the concubine, and she has been passing the news of the palace to the prince of Shuo, and she has done a lot of unsightly things in private.

Concubine Shu's father was just a prefect, and he thought that this would not make the emperor suspicious, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to check it suddenly, and he would be on the table as soon as he checked it, and he didn't even have a chance to stop it.

"Qinglian!"

Qinglian lowered her head and stepped forward.

"You didn't stay by Han Baiyi's side as a vase, the means were all taken out for me, this king didn't let you love me!"
