According to the records of the household department, Dajing 17 years ago ushered in a bumper harvest year that made the king and the people happy.

Compared with today, the grain obtained back then was enough to replenish all border gates to a certain extent.

In that year, the Prison Department took out the clothing, medicine, and grain and grass needed for autumn and winter with the approval slip and sent them to the North and South Prisons.

The journey was uneventful, and the two prisons in the north and south consolidated the various supplies they received and stored them in warehouses.

Compared to previous years, it doesn't seem to be any different.

Suddenly, one night, some of the prisoners in the northern prison suddenly fell ill, and two died that night.

Upon investigation by the prison doctor, it was an emergency, but the cause was unknown.

However, with the arrival of the second and third days, more and more prisoners were infected with emergencies, and for a while, people in the northern prison were panicked.

The prison doctors were helpless, so they found some doctors from the people and used coercion and inducement to check on the prisoners.

However, the conclusion is the same as what the prison doctors said, the prisoners are not suffering from extraordinary diseases, nor are they plagues, otherwise no one in the northern prisons will be spared.

Since it was impossible to find out the cause from the prisoners, after being reminded by the doctors of the people, the prison doctors began to explore the water source in the northern prison.

But there is no problem with the water source, and the medicines transferred from the imperial court are also normal.

Eventually, the prison doctors noticed the food inside the northern prison and finally identified the root cause.

Although food and other materials were sent by the imperial court, both the prison doctors and prison guards had always eaten different food from the prisoners.

Most of the food that can be transported to the North and South Prisons is old rice from previous years, and the prison guards and prison doctors have their own ways to get new food for that year.

They would never have eaten the same amount of food as the prisoners unless it was necessary, but some people would have the idea of selling some of the food to the market.

Fortunately, due to the accident in the northern prison, no one has had time to do so.

After discovering the food problem, the official in charge of the northern prison immediately sent a note to the imperial court.

So, Emperor Mingde, who was still the new emperor at that time, sent a decree to the household department to allocate a batch of grain and send it to the northern prison as soon as possible.

As for the problematic group, the officials in charge of the northern prison were instructed to destroy all of them so as not to cause further problems.

It stands to reason that after receiving the will, the grain was destroyed.

Xie Yangui only had a few words about the record of the prison hall back then, but she still got a lot of information from it.

Every year, when the prison hall picks up various materials with the approval slip, it is collected and then issued at the same time.

In other words, the grain received that year should have been sent to two prisons in the north and south.

Even if someone operates it behind his back, it is impossible to exchange all of it, so why is there only an accident in the Northern Prison?

Thinking about it, Xie Yangui re-read the documents he had just seen, and it was true that only the Northern Prison had an accident.

For the same batch of grain, the north is far drier than the south, and there is no reason why the grain in the north is spoiled and spoiled, but there is no problem with the grain in the south.

Unless, in the first place, the grain delivered to both sides is not the same.

But if so, what is the reason for this? Who is behind the scenes?

For a while, Xie Yangui had all kinds of questions lingering in his heart.

"Ma'am, you've packed up and can move on." Chang Xiu stepped forward and said back to her.

"Hmm." Xie Yangui agreed, ate the rabbit leg in his hand in a few bites, then wiped his hands clean, and carefully put away the paperwork.

She pondered that when she rested later, she would study and study carefully, and if necessary, call Ling Yuwei to ask about it.

Perhaps, we have to send someone else to investigate what happened back then.

——

After raising for many days, Princess Changle's body is fine.

After Emperor Mingde returned to the palace, she had gone to ask for peace several times.

For this daughter, Emperor Mingde was ashamed, so every time he saw it, he had to reward him a lot,

to compensate.

Not only that, but he also chose another mansion outside the palace for Princess Changle, and the previous princess's mansion still belonged to her.

As for what to do with the former mansion, it was up to her to decide.

In addition, Emperor Mingde also specially issued a decree to allow Princess Changle to choose for herself, whether she wanted to live in the princess's mansion or live with Concubine De in the palace, she would come as she wished.

This is a great grace.

Knowing that in the previous matter, Concubine De was greatly frightened, and Princess Changle has been living in the palace recently.

With a woman by her side, Concubine De is happy.

"Now that your health has improved, you don't have to accompany me all day long, I heard that the maple leaves in the suburbs are red, if you want to go, bring more people and dress thicker." c

The mother and daughter sat on the soft couch and drank tea, and seeing that Princess Changle seemed to be a little distracted, Concubine De said with a smile.

Through the affairs of the Feng family in the Horse Mansion, Concubine Xian has been very uncomfortable in the palace recently.

It was also thanks to the eldest prince that he got the emperor's grandson, so that the descendants of the family who picked everything clean were only angered by Emperor Mingde.

But in any case, seeing that the enemy was uncomfortable, Concubine De was happy in her heart.

In the past, she would be worried about Princess Changle's marriage being undecided, but now as long as the princess is happy, the marriage will be fateful.

After being rescued back to the palace, Changle only went out of the palace once, and after coming back, he was always a little worried, Concubine De didn't dare to ask more, but she was still afraid that she would suffocate herself.

"Then tomorrow my daughter will go out for a walk, and when the time comes, I will bring back some pastries that you used to like for my mother." Changle smiled and spoke, finally coming back to his senses.

So, until the next day, Princess Changle, who was neatly packed, took the palace people and took the carriage out of the palace.

Soon after she left, Concubine De summoned the palace people and headed towards the Baohua Hall with the things prepared in advance.

The cigarettes in the Baohua Hall are slim, if there is no major ceremony, whether it is the concubines in the palace, or the palace people, they can come to the incense and ask for peace of mind.

After Princess Changle returned safely, Concubine De ordered someone to go to the temple on the outskirts of Kyoto to offer lamps, and according to the temple host, incense was offered on a fixed day every month.

As a palace concubine, it was inconvenient for her to go out of the palace, so she made a spirit card from the temple and enshrined it in the Baohua Hall in the palace.

Today is the day when she should come and offer incense.

Entering the palace, Concubine De retired from the palace, and everything was done by herself.

When the incense was planted, she knelt on the futon and prayed reverently.

A figure knelt beside her, and a clear voice came, "Qin Tianjian matter, thank you Niangniang for your help."

The rumors in the palace about the fetus in Xie Xie's womb were in an uproar, and Qin Tianjian finally came forward to solve these rumors.

But outsiders don't know that there is the help of Concubine De in this matter, and no one knows that there is a relationship between Concubine De and Qintian.

If you want to find out about this matter, you can naturally find out, but the current leader of the internal guard is Yunlan.

"Miss Yuqin is polite, this palace didn't help anything, everything is the blessing of the noble concubine." Concubine De opened her eyes and replied without squinting.

After thinking about it, she added, "Speaking of which, this matter should be thanked to Yun Gong for mentioning it, so that this palace can think it through."
