And the reason why Zu Menglan came at night was also because she remembered the things of the day.

When she participated in the palace banquet during the day, because she was not used to the lively atmosphere of the palace banquet, and she ate a little too much, she went out for a walk and consumed food, but she didn't expect that when a little eunuch passed by her by the water lily pond, he suddenly pushed her, causing her to fall directly into the water lily pond.

Nana next to her reached out in time to save her, and was also pushed into the water lily pond by the palace maid.

According to the two of them, they didn't know the palace maid at all, and after entering the palace, they were only excluded by the palace concubines because of their habits and language barriers, and they didn't have a grudge against anyone else.

Even if the palace concubine excluded them, those people had no reason to attack their master and servant, so they were deeply impressed by the palace maid.

After listening to the statements of the two, Zhu Jiu remembered that the guards who were supposed to be guarding the water lily pond were taken away today, and coupled with the words of the two, he knew that someone was going to do something to them.

Then he asked, "Lan Zhaoyi, do you remember what that palace maid looked like?" Or, what are her physiognomy traits?"

Zu Menglan thought about it carefully, and then described to Zhu Jiu the appearance of the palace maid, "Although I was a little scared when she pushed her into the pool, I still saw her appearance clearly, her face was chubby, like a plate, she wore a rice bead flower on her head, her eyes were small, and her nose and mouth were ......."

With Zu Menglan's description, Zhu Jiu had also asked Hanmei to prepare her pen and ink, and drew a portrait of her on the stone table.

After Zu Menglan finished describing, she almost finished writing, and then asked Zu Menglan to recognize, "Is this palace maid?"

Zu Menglan originally didn't believe that the Central Plains people could paint people so vividly, and she didn't believe that someone could restore the murderer's appearance according to her words.

But after seeing Zhu Jiulu's hand, she was shocked, where is there anyone who doesn't believe it at this moment? Hurriedly shocked: "Yes, it's her! It's this palace maid!"

At that time, when she had an accident, she and Nana were pushed off the water lily pond by this palace maid, so she especially remembered the appearance of this palace maid, and now the portrait drawn by the queen mother is exactly the same as that palace maid!

Suddenly, Zu Menglan's gaze at Zhu Jiu was full of admiration, "Queen Mother, you are so powerful, how did you draw this painting?" Can the concubine learn from you?"

She also wants to have someone else describe it, so that she can completely restore the murderer's ability.

"It's not difficult, if you want to learn, you can move to Changle Palace to learn from me when you return to the palace."

Zhu Jiu smiled, and her tone was no different from usual, but Zu Menglan heard the gentleness in her words, and was a little excited for a while, "Can the concubine stay with you and sleep tonight?" You're so comfortable here!"

She looked like she had slept in this palace, Nana was afraid that she would show her stuffing, so she hurriedly covered her mouth, and explained to Zhu Jiu with a reluctant smile: "Forgive me, the queen mother, my mother's voice is this virtue, and she looks like she has never seen the world......

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince sent her to Her Royal Highness the Princess to take care of her, otherwise with Her Royal Highness the Princess's unobstructed appearance, how could she come to Xuanyuan Country to be friendly? It's just looking for death!

Don't you know that Xuanyuan values the rules the most? No matter how gentle this queen is, she can't really be unruly in front of her!

Hanmei can understand this kind of minion master's feeling of hating iron but not steel, so she cast a sympathetic look at Nana.

Zhu Jiu nodded, anyway, there are still extra rooms in this palace, this girl is willing to live, so let her stay.

Zu Menglan got a new place to live, and after returning to the palace, she could move to Changle Palace to live with Zhu Jiu, she happily held Zhu Jiu's hand and shook it for a long time before thanking her and going back to the house to sleep.

When he saw her take out the pillow that she had hidden, Zhu Jiu knew that this girl had come prepared, and he couldn't help but think she was funny for a while, and shook his head at her.

Hanmei can understand Zhu Jiu's mood, she is like a big sister who is all-encompassing, and sometimes she is very tolerant of this kind of person with a pure heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to voluntarily stay by Zhu Jiu's side to serve.

However, after dealing with Zu Menglan's matter, Hanmei also followed the portrait that Zhu Jiu took and began to go to the palaces to find the housekeeper to investigate this palace maid.

Once he found her traces, he immediately sent her to another palace, and Zhu Jiu personally interrogated her why she did something to Zu Menglan's master and servant.

Not long after Hanmei left, Wei Changfu came.

He told Zhu Jiu what he had investigated this afternoon, and then said, "The people in the Water Lily Pond were indeed taken away by Gan Shaoyun as you guessed, please forgive the incompetence of the slave for failing to find out what Gan Shaoyun's purpose was in doing this."

"Got it, just know that he did it, and then you go to assist Hanmei to investigate the palace maid who pushed Lan Zhaoyi into the water, find out who she is and why she did it to Lan Zhaoyi."

"Yes."

Zhu Jiu ordered as usual, and Wei Changfu also did it.

Although he is young, he is an apprentice brought out by Wei Ruhai in the end, he does things very neatly, and he also has his own connections, which is not something for Zhu Jiu to worry about.

Just asking someone to do something, it costs some money after all, especially the recent expenses of the summer palace are also a large amount of expenses, Zhu Jiu went back to the house and looked at the accounts, and he couldn't sleep with a headache.

Although she is indeed the eldest princess of Gaoxin Kingdom, she was even replaced by Lin Yao before, but in the end, Lin Yao died tragically in prison, and now she has returned to the identity of a princess, but she does not necessarily know how rich she is.

Although most of the Gaoxin Kingdom is hers, she handed over all those taxes to Baili Jin for the construction of the Gaoxin Kingdom.

Now that Gao Xinguo has made a seventeenth prince, she has less money in her hands, and as the queen of Xuanyuan Kingdom, Zhu Jiu does not have much money in her hands, and when she entered Changle Palace, Xuanyuan Che gave her a lot of things as a dowry, but she ran these shops, and they were only enough to support the cinnabar building.

Now the expenses of the palace seem to come from the treasury, but the treasury is also equal to her private treasury.

After looking at the accounts for a long time, Zhu Jiu came to a conclusion: "It seems that it is better not to hold unnecessary banquets in the future."

If it weren't for the limited power of the Cinnabar Building, she would be eager to directly expand the scale of the industry that the Cinnabar Building is now operating and make more money.

However, the cinnabar building makes a lot of money, and it spends money very well.

It seems that she can no longer focus on the front court and the harem, and has to look at the mall to see if anyone can bring some ways to make money.

The matter of recruiting talents was taken to heart by Zhu Jiu, and she couldn't help but have the idea of the previous batch of treasures left by the Central Plains Dynasty.

"Speaking of which, I'm also the third messenger of the Black Soul Hall now, if that treasure is found, I should have a share, right?"

Thinking about it, Zhu Jiu immediately released a signal flare to attract the Black Soul Envoy to come over to meet her.
