Mu Jiaren hesitated for a moment and said, "Father-in-law Cao? ”

The guard nodded: "Originally, I also hoped to contact Jin Qiao again through you, and then know about Gonggong Cao, but now that Jin Qiao suddenly committed suicide, our clues have been broken again." ”

"Why are you checking Grandpa Cao?"

The bearded guard looked around and pulled her to a more remote corner: "Miss Xia Zhu, are you willing to cooperate with us?" ”

"What do you want?"

"Use Gonggong Cao to bring down Concubine Shu."

"Grandpa Cao's evaluation outside is not bad, what are you going to do when you start with him?"

"Concubine Shu ascended the throne because she framed Concubine Qi, and Gonggong Cao is the eunuch she has always stayed by her side, he must know about Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Qi in the cold palace?"

"Yes."

"Who's right and who's wrong, now I can't just listen to you."

"Gonggong Cao and Concubine Shu are not simple, you may not be able to find anything alone."

"How did you find out, said I have my own way."

"Gonggong Cao is on an errand with Wei Zhaoyi, and he is on duty every three days, and he used to live in an ear room in the Shufei Palace, but now he is in Wei Zhaoyi's Palace."

"When was he transferred to Wei Zhaoyi's palace?"

"Two months ago."

"What do you know about Jin Qiao?"

"The injury on Jin Qiao's body should have been beaten by Concubine Shu, she and Father-in-law Cao were eating by the queen's default, Father-in-law Cao stammered and didn't like the queen, at that time, because of some things, the queen rewarded Jin Qiao to Father-in-law Cao."

"Because of what?"

"I don't know any of that."

"Why did Concubine Shu fight Jin Qiao?"

"I don't know the specific reason, it's a little strange, Gonggong Cao went to Wei Zhaoyi, Concubine Shu will still take Jin Qiao to the palace to beat her, originally we thought that Gonggong Cao said something in front of Concubine Shu, but now it seems that Concubine Cao has always hated Jin Qiao."

"Okay, I'll check it in my own way, and as for whether to cooperate or not, I need to understand before making a decision."

"Yes." The guard saluted, "In Xia Zhan Zhexiu, Miss Xia Zhu can come to the cold palace to find Zhan if she needs anything." ”

Mu Jiaren nodded, and then left the cold palace.

She is already proficient in the affairs of the imperial dining room, and after she is busy with dinner, she leaves on the grounds of distraction, tonight is the day when Gonggong Cao is on duty, Mu Jiaren plans to sneak into Wei Zhaoyi's palace to find out.

Before entering the palace, she once asked Yun Zheng what the chances of winning were if she met the inner guards with her light skills, Yun Zheng told her that if she acted during the day, she should be discovered, but she might not be caught, and if it was at night, she could move freely.

The palace guards are also first-class masters, but in terms of light skills, if she is even more powerful than Beichen Ye, then it is absolutely impossible for the palace guards to catch her, at most they can see a phantom.

So she chose to go at night and went to Jinhuaxuan, where Wei Zhaoyi lived, although it was not the closest place to the emperor's palace, but it was an independent courtyard, and with Wei Zhaoyi's position, it was already a favor to be able to live independently, which showed the emperor's liking for her.

Mu Jiaren was prostrate on the roof, watching the movement below.

Wei Zhaoyi was writing, the palace maid on the side was serving, and Gonggong Cao was standing at the door, and there was nothing unusual.

After that, a eunuch came to pass the word, saying that the emperor would come here tonight, Mu Jiaren did not leave, she wanted to see how much chance she had compared to the guards.

Then the group came over, Wei Zhaoyi dressed up carefully, then gave the emperor a massage, and went to bed after chatting a few words.

She was not interested in the story after that, she went back to the dining room, and it was light work all the way, just as Yun Zheng guessed, no one found her.

When we returned to the dining room, everyone hadn't slept yet, Mu Jiaren came back, and Bai Shao asked with some curiosity: "You came back early on weekdays, why are you so late today, is there something wrong?" ”

Mu Jia and Tao Ran ate and had a small party together before, and she also knew it, but today Tao Ran was in the room, and Mu Jia was the only one missing.

"I made some pickles, just got it done."

"Do you make kimchi on such a hot day?"

"It's just that it's hot and I want to eat some kimchi appetizers, and you can try it when it's ready."

Bai Shao smiled and nodded.

Early the next morning, Mu Jiaren asked Tao Ran who the palace maids in Concubine Shu's palace and Wei Zhaoyi's palace were, so that she could be disguised when she went out at night, and even if she saw it, she wouldn't guess her.

In the evening, the emperor rested at Wei Zhaoyi's place again, and Mu Jiaren did not stay, but went to Concubine Shu's palace.

"Niangniang, the emperor has been resting in Wei Zhaoyi's palace for the past two days." The palace maid replied on the side.

Concubine Shu touched her bulging belly and said with satisfaction: "This palace likes obedient minions." ”

"You have given her such a great gift, what if one day she is rewarded and forgets your kindness? This man's thoughts are going to become. ”

"Bengong naturally has a way to make her obedient, Wei Zhaoyi's father is in charge of the salt industry in Jincheng, Bengong has promoted her, and her father has already said that such a smart person is suitable to stay by her side, she wants a child, and Bengong will let her have it."

"Niangniang is really generous, the queen can't compare to you......"

"Talk less, do more, people's hearts are not what they say."

"Yes."

After the concubine reprimanded the palace maid, she lay on her side a little uncomfortable, pointed to the ice cubes in the room, and asked the palace maid to add more.

Mu Jiaren heard a little strangely, Wei Zhaoyi was favored because of Concubine Shu's recommendation, and her words just now also reflected Wei Zhaoyi's father's concern for his daughter, presumably there must be money exchanges, but this is not enough to bring down Concubine Shu.

"Since the death of that Jin Qiao, Bengong has felt itchy hands every day, and his heart is blocked, so good, why did he die, Bengong beat her every day, and she feels very comfortable physically and mentally."

Concubine Shu closed her eyes and said with some regret in her tone.

Mu Jiaren clenched her fists with both hands, holding back her anger.

"Do you want Gonggong Cao to find you another one?"

"Well, suddenly there is no one to vent to, I really don't feel used to it, but a palace maid like Jin Qiao is not easy to meet, if you want to blame her, blame her for offending the queen, no matter how the palace beats her, the queen will not care, not to say that in the end it is put in the incinerator, there is not even a whole corpse."

Mu Jiaren recalled the scene of that day, it was true, the queen not only did not investigate the cause of Jin Qiao's death, but also punished her and Tao Ran, it seems that the queen really hates Jin Qiao.

But what does this have to do with Concubine Shu? Why do you have to beat her every day?

"There are a few palace maids in the court, and they don't talk much on weekdays, and they were punished there because they offended the little lord in the palace, or do you want the slave maid to go and see tomorrow and choose one for the mother?"

"No need, the people elected by Gong Cao, this palace should be more relieved."

Mu Jiaren scolded disdainfully in her heart, Concubine Shu is really a pervert, and she has to abuse the palace maid when she is pregnant.

After learning the news, she planned to keep an eye on Gonggong Cao for the past few days to see how he chose the palace maid for Concubine Shu.
