Aoyagi handed the wrench sent by the eldest princess to Qin Chaochao, and then stood aside.

"What wrench?" The pheasant was a little curious.

"When I went out of the palace with my aunt and grandmother, I saved someone." The Qin Dynasty wasn't sure if it was this matter, didn't he give a piece of jade pendant with excellent color as a reward before?

She took a closer look at the wrench, and there was a faintly recognizable Cui character engraved in it, Cui, which seemed to be the boy's surname.

So, why did you give another wrench?

At this time, it was already dark, and it was unrealistic to go to ask for this, so Qin Chaochao ordered it to be put up.

"Is it with that jade pendant?" Aoyagi took it and asked softly.

When she sent these things, the eldest princess did not carry people on her back, but gave them openly, so when she asked, it was the same.

"Let's put it together, in case there is no silver flower when you leave the palace in the future, you can be it." Qin Chaochao hurriedly said, she was joking, but the two palace maids around her were startled.

Last time, she said it again.

So after the Qin Dynasty fell asleep, the pheasant pulled Qingliu and went out.

"Did you encounter anything when you went out of the palace with the princess last time?" The pheasant asked softly.

Aoyagi's temperament jumped out, and remembered the princess's secret, so he hid it, "The eldest princess first took the princess to a horse farm, and then went to the restaurant for a meal, and then came back. ”

"What about saving people?" The pheasant hasn't forgotten this.

"......" Aoyagi frowned, "When I was there, the princess didn't save anyone, and then the eldest princess took the princess out again." ”

And the queen also knows about this.

Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, the pheasant didn't ask any more, maybe it was because after the princess became sensible, she saw that the queen was strapped for money, and everything outside needed silver, so she had the idea.

Early the next morning, Concubine Kang and Concubine Li came over.

Now most of the palace power is still in the hands of Concubine Kang, and the rest is assisted by Concubine Li.

"Queen Mother, this is the last ten days of the palace's expenses." Concubine Li lowered her eyebrows and stepped forward with the account book, handed it to Chunxiao, and then retreated.

Empress Xiao didn't look at it, but said lightly, "You guys have worked hard to manage this harem." ”

"The concubine is sharing the queen's worries, not hard." Concubine Kang sat on the chair at the bottom and coughed, "Is the queen mother in good health now?" ”

It's also strange to say that the queen has been sick for so many years, and suddenly she got better.

Then the emperor, who has not set foot in the harem all the year round, even came in several times a month, and even rested in the queen's palace.

"Hongu is much better." Empress Xiao nodded, "Concubine Kang, your health is not good, it is not easy to manage palace affairs during this time, so transfer the palace affairs to the palace in a few days." ”

Concubine Kang is like a mirror in her heart, she is also helping with this palace affairs for a while, and she can't wait to hand it over and rest.

She is an old man in the palace, and she has almost all of them above the concubine position, and she doesn't need to be extra greedy.

And the queen is the master of the serious harem and the person in charge of palace affairs.

Concubine Li next to her didn't speak, but she was what Concubine Kang said.

Empress Xiao said something to the two of them again, and then asked Chunchan to send them out.

"How's the princess's affairs going?" Empress Xiao went back to the house and changed her clothes, "Is there a clue over there for Granny Meng?" ”

Regarding the fact that the Qin Dynasty was trampled by a horse, on the surface, the four princes were ignorant, but the affairs in this palace were not seen at all, and even pulled out a bunch of people.

It's just that the investigation will startle the snake with great fanfare, so it is better to sneak in secretly and lower the vigilance of the enemy.

So in this matter, many people thought that Nurse Meng was sent to the palace punishment department, and after the little eunuch drowned near the cold palace, there was no follow-up, but as everyone knows, the queen still did not give up.

"In the cell of Granny Meng's palace punishment department, a poisonous snake appeared." Chunxiao lowered her voice and said, "They have already started to investigate, pointing to the side of the West Palace Courtyard." ”

Nishinomiyain, the residence of the concubines.

Generally speaking, after the death of the emperor, the concubines who had given birth to children were eligible to move to the West Palace.

"Nishinomiyain." Empress Xiao frowned, "Does the emperor still have a sister?" ”

At that time, when the first emperor died, he was not yet fifty, and after Qin Zheng ascended the throne, his brothers were all sent to fiefdoms and could not return to Beijing without a recall.

As for the princess when she is old, she will be close to ...... But she remembered that there seemed to be one left.

"It's the seventeenth princess." Chunxiao said softly, "The mother of the seventeenth princess is Concubine Mei. ”

Now this seventeenth princess is only fourteen years old.

But after another year, she will have to discuss the candidate for harmony, and Chunxiao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Slave maid, let people check it." Chunxiao hurriedly went out after speaking.

Taihe Palace at this time.

A person dressed as a secret guard was kneeling in front of Qin Zheng.

"Back to the emperor, I went to the palace of Concubine Namei, and I did find some clues." The dark guard spoke.

He opened the box in his hand, "This is filled with white powder that can make horses crazy, and my subordinates took the white powder and went to the horse breeding place again, and sure enough, the horse was restless." ”

At that time, it should have been the fourth prince who was instigated to ride out on a horse, and then the horse was a little crazy, so he bumped into Qin Chaochao and stepped on her again.

As for the person who instigated the four princes, he also admitted that he was a master in the study.

"There are still doubts about this matter, find out the palace person who came into contact with the master." Qin Zheng's voice was cold, "I will give you two more days." ”

The guard nodded, turned around and walked a few steps outside, then suddenly paused again.

"Your Majesty, the queen's mother seems to be investigating this matter." The secret guard hesitated a little and said, "It seems that she started from Grandma Meng's side, but it seems that she hasn't found out about Concubine Mei yet." ”

Do you want to reveal clues to the queen?

What he meant.

"No, you don't." Qin Zheng didn't even think about it.

There are some things, the two of them checked together, and they will only believe it when they find a place, if he deliberately guides, what if the queen thinks he is deliberately shielding someone.

Although he is the emperor, there are some things that involve feelings, and they can't be explained with reason.

"Your Majesty, the slave has one more thing." Li Le stepped forward, "Pei Piao, the imperial guard, wants to be a guard for the princess." ”

What does only one Pei Piao do, it is best to get Tong Qing's guy away.

"Call Tong Qing together, he's more stable." Qin Zheng thought for a while, "If the dynasty wants to leave the palace in the future, let the two of them follow." ”

Happiness came unexpectedly.

So Li Le hurriedly responded, "The emperor is right, that Tong guard is more stable, and that Pei guard is too jumpy, so he has to find someone to suppress him!" ”
