Mandarin Duck and Ripple were extremely efficient, and in less than half a day's effort, they found all the medicinal materials needed for Yuanming's medicinal bath. On the other side, Qingchen just rested for half a day to recover his spirits, prepared a medicinal bath, and just waited for Yuan Ming to detoxify the remaining poison.

Kou Shu's heart that had been hanging in the past few days finally let go slightly, and she also had time to think about what had happened recently.

"Queen Mother...... Yuan Yun pushed the door in and said slowly.

Kou Shu was stunned, and was pulled back to reality by Yuan Yun's words: "What's wrong?" ”

"The emperor is gone, let the slave maid bring you a word," Yuan Yun paused: "Mo Shang flowers bloom." ”

Kou Shu couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Yuan Yun, you help me pack my luggage, let Ripple and Mandarin Duck go back to the palace with me first, and you stay to take care of Yuan Ming." ”

Nodding, Yuan Yun's eyes showed a trace of incomprehension, and said, "Niangniang, what do you mean by this, what is the flower blooming on Mo?" ”

Kou Shu smiled faintly and explained: "This is the story of the emperor and the favorite concubine of the previous dynasty, the favorite concubine went home to save her relatives, and she has not returned to the palace for ten days. What is said is that the flowers are about to bloom along the way, and you can slowly prepare to return to the palace. ”

"Wow!" Ripples came in with food, only to hear the second half, and couldn't help but admire: "This emperor is so romantic." ”

Kou Shu couldn't help laughing, but Song Yuanzong of the previous dynasty was an out-and-out infatuation seed, but Song Jinyan was anxious to go back by himself, I am afraid that it would be more than that, because of the harem of the previous dynasty, he needed to balance it by himself. Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Kou Shu's mouth couldn't help but become a little bitter.

The imperial tomb is only half a day's journey from the palace, and Kou Shu and his party set off early the next morning and returned to the palace at noon.

When he arrived in the palace, Song Jinyan helped him arrange the steps early in the morning, only saying that because of the continuous rainstorm in recent days, many places in the imperial tomb have collapsed, and craftsmen need to go to repair it, and it is inconvenient for him to stay there, so he returned to the palace.

As soon as the group returned to the palace, the mandarin duck was in a hurry to sort out the original intelligence network as soon as possible, and after a period of absence in the palace, many nails planted in the palaces were pulled out, especially the four or five girls who were originally placed in the Yilan Palace, all of them were driven out. Now what happened to the Yilan Temple, it was completely black.

For the various nails planted in each palace, the people in each palace are turning a blind eye, just because each palace is crowded with people, and it is impossible to prevent it, and a few are driven away, and others will send the eyeliner in with their eyes, and the horizontal and vertical can't be finished, so just let them keep it. But this time Kou Shu left the palace differently, as long as all Kou Shu's eyeliner was removed, Kou Shu was far away in the imperial tomb, and Lan Ruoxuan could be a lot freer.

On the other side, Ripple was more excited about returning to the palace, shouting in the main hall of Changle Palace: "Look, Niangniang, we are finally back!" ”

Kou Shu couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "What's the matter, the imperial tomb is uncomfortable?" ”

Tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Ripple said: "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, I just feel that our palace is my home." There is a sense of security. ”

Kou Shu was stunned, and a self-deprecating smile rose at the corner of her mouth, this palace is deceitful, but it is the purity of the imperial tomb, which is more in line with her appetite.

But now that she's back, she's going to do something. I saw Kou Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, the first thing she had to do this time was to find out where the source of the insecurity was.

"Queen Mother-" Mandarin Duck pushed the door in, and glanced at Kou Shu, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Kou Shu understood in her heart, I am afraid that the intelligence network in the palace passed through her departure from the palace this time, and it was far worse than before. When Bai Li was not alive, the reason why this intelligence network could survive for so long was because it was dormant and hibernating, and no one would notice it at all, and no one would forget about it and think about the dead concubine. And now that he has reactivated this intelligence network for nearly a year, he thinks that the palace people in the palaces are aware of it.

"How's it going?" Kou Shu spoke slowly.

The mandarin duck frowned: "Niangniang, about half of the people can't use it, especially in the Yilan Palace, there is no one left of us." Kou Shu nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Yilan Hall doesn't need to look at it for the time being. ”

Yuan Ming's medicine must have been secretly exchanged in Ningci Palace, compared to Yilan Palace, Kou Shu was more curious about the ins and outs of the Nine Immortal Pill in Ningci Palace that day. After a pause, Kou Shu continued to speak: "Let people keep an eye on the movements over there in Ningci Palace, and if there is any news, report it quickly." ”

The mandarin duck nodded and retreated.

The Queen Mother's Ningci Palace is the cleanest in the harem, and they are all old people who have been working for decades, even if they add some rough envoys who have been sprinkling and sweeping, they are mostly experienced old people who have worked in various palaces for a long time, so Kou Shu has never paid too much attention to Ningci Palace. I never thought that I would be planted in Ningci Palace.

"Niangniang-" The mandarin duck's voice slowly sounded in Kou Shu's ears: "I've been checking for several days, and there are these old faces coming and going in the Ning Ci Palace, and I haven't found anything special." There was a hint of disappointment in the mandarin duck's tone, and he said slightly depressed.

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, but heard ripples shouting behind her: "Niangniang, you have to talk about the people in this imperial dining room-"

"What's wrong?" Kou Shu frowned.

"The dough of the hibiscus mandarin duck sent to wrap it is cold, even if this imperial dining room is far away from our Ningci Palace, we can't deal with it like this." The mandarin duck stood up and complained dissatisfiedly.

When Kou Shu heard this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly turned her head and said, "Mandarin duck, you said that there are no new faces found in Ning Ci Palace?" ”

The mandarin duck nodded: "Yes, the slave maid ordered people to check back and forth several times, and they are all old people in the palace." ”

With a roll of her eyes, Kou Shu seemed to suddenly remember something: "In this way, if you ask someone to check again, you can find out if anyone is behaving quite strangely in the past few days." ”

The mandarin duck tilted his head, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "There is a princess who has been bedridden for several months because of the wind and cold, and this princess is also an old man in the palace." ”

"Mandarin duck, who this person is is still unknown, I suspect that someone has used the art of disguise in this palace." Kou Shu's voice sounded coldly.

"Disguise?!" The mandarin duck exclaimed.

I didn't notice it just now, but it wasn't until Ripple said that the dough wrapped around the duck that Kou Shu suddenly remembered it. He nodded and said, "You let people take a good look at this princess again, or ask a doctor to show her, now that it is spring, it will not be so serious to say that she has a cold." ”

Ripple pouted, not hearing what the mandarin duck and the mother were talking about. Crisp said, "Niangniang, it's time for dinner." ”

Kou Shu was stunned, and then said with a smile, this girl, no matter when, can't forget her three meals a day.
