Rong Qianhan approached Ah Yao and followed her line of sight to look at the jade hosta, "Where did you get this jade hosta?" ”

"Jadeite products are already precious, this jadeite hosta is even more precious, how can you have such a thing?" Jun Qiye also asked curiously.

If you don't explain the origin of this precious thing, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble for yourself.

She didn't hide Rong Qianhan and Jun Qiye, and said truthfully: "It was found from Mama Zhu's relics." ”

"How can a subordinate have such a thing?" Jun Qiye asked.

Ah Yao shook her head.

Rong Qianhan didn't make a sound.

After thinking for a moment, Jun Qiye said: "Could it be that the prime minister has dealings with southern Xinjiang in private?" ”

"If Su Yuan has dealings with Southern Xinjiang, this thing should be in the hands of Mrs. Su, or Su Yuyan, how can it be in the hands of a subordinate?" Rong Qianhan asked rhetorically.

"It makes sense." Jun Qiye frowned, "Could it be that this Mama Zhu is from the Southern Xinjiang royal family?" ”

"Not really." Ah Yao said.

Jun Qiye looked at the two of them in confusion, "It's not like that, that's not it, so what's the matter with this jade hosta and Mama Zhu?" ”

A-Yao really wants to figure it all out, but her status is low, and it is not easy to track it down.

She set her eyes on Jun Qiye and said, "Your Majesty, Southern Xinjiang is a vassal state of Dongli, and it must be strange for such a precious thing to appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the slave maid feels the need to find out the origin of this hosta." ”

Jun Qiye nodded thoughtfully.

Although southern Xinjiang is a vassal state of Dongli, it is difficult to ensure that it will always be loyal to Dongli.

Just in case, it's better to find out.

Jun Qiye set his eyes on Rong Qianhan, "Regent, this matter will be handed over to you to investigate secretly, right?" ”

"Wechen and the Prime Minister's Mansion have already formed a relationship, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Wechen to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate this matter."

"Who's going then?"

Ah Yao thought of someone and blurted out, "Why don't you let Yuan Ping investigate?" ”

Jun Qiye and Rong Qianhan thought of Yuan Ping at the same time.

"Lord Yuan is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Prime Minister Su, it is rare to be able to adhere to his own principles, and the slave maid thinks he is the most suitable candidate." Ah Yao said.

Jun Qiye looked at Rong Qianhan, "What does the regent think?" ”

"Yes."

"Then Yuan Ping!"

Seeing that Jun Qiye agreed, A-Yao suddenly knelt at his feet.

Jun Qiye and Rong Qianhan were both stunned, staring at her in confusion.

"Your Majesty, Regent, A-Yao has a reluctant request, I hope the two of you can agree."

Jun Qiye glanced at Rong Qianhan with his afterglow and said, "You say." ”

"Ah Yao wants to investigate this matter with Lord Yuan."

Jun Qiye's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "This matter is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"Mama Zhu died because of the slave, the slave and the maid are always uneasy, the slave and the maid want to find out about Mama Zhu, if you can find her family, let her family come to her grave to pay respects."

"This ......"

"The slave will follow Lord Yuan in disguise, and say that he is Lord Yuan's assistant to the outside world."

The corners of Jun Qiye's mouth hooked, "Ah Yao, you have already planned everything." ”

"Slaves don't dare."

Jun Qiye looked at Rong Qianhan with a smile, "What does the regent think?" ”

"Obey the emperor's arrangement."

"That's right."

Ah Yao looked happy, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

"Don't hurry up, if I break your knees, I can't afford to be responsible."

Ah Yao's face turned red, and she got up with her head down.

"Since I have promised you that I will greet Yuan Ping, you will go to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow to find him, and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out this matter together!"

"Yes."

Seeing that Jun Qiye didn't mean to leave, Rong Qianhan coughed lightly with a heavy face.

"Your Majesty, the time for you to leave the palace is not short, and Weichen asked Song Yi to send you back to the palace."

Jun Qiye looked at Rong Qianhan angrily, "Okay, you are a regent, you will rush me back to the palace after using me?" ”

"Weichen is for the emperor's sake."

"If you really think about me, send me back to the palace later."

After speaking, Jun Qiye came straight to Ah Yao's side, "I have helped you so much, how can you thank me?" ”

"Your Majesty, you say."

Jun Qiye gave her a look and motioned her to persuade Qian Han.

She grimaced.

Jun Qiye continued to give her a look, seven points of pleading, three points of threat.

She mustered up the courage to raise her eyes, "Lord Wang, look ......"

"Whatever you want."

Jun Qiye finally showed a smile on his face, "I knew you could do it, I wanted to eat the osmanthus cake you made, as well as the jujube mud cake, and ......."

"Yes."

Taking advantage of Rong Qianhan's inattention, Jun Qiye pulled A-Yao away.

Watching the two of them walk out of the room, Rong Qianhan couldn't help but remind: "Before sunset, Song Yi will send you back to the palace." ”

"Got it, got it."

After the two left, Rong Qianhan also began to deploy the matter of the Queen Mother's birthday.

He handed over the preparation of his birthday to Su Yuan, and he was responsible for protecting the emperor and the queen mother on his birthday.

He planned to pay a visit to General Liu, who was defending the city, and talk to General Liu in detail about the control of strangers who had recently entered Kyoto.

……

Early the next morning, A-Yao helped Rong Qianhan put on her court clothes, and she also changed into men's clothes, with her hair tied high on the top of her head.

Rong Qianhan handed her a token, "This is the token given to you by the emperor, you see Yuan Ping, show him this token, and he will know everything." ”

"Hmm."

She put the token away.

Rong Qianhan took out another piccolo and gave it to her, "You can put this away." ”

"What is this?"

She looked at the piccolo in bewilderment.

"When you're in danger, play the piccolo and someone will come to your rescue."

Although Su Mingxuan's death ended with Mama Zhu's confession, the Su family always recorded this account on Ah Yao's head.

She went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Rong Qianhan was really not at ease.

Her eyes widened, "This piccolo is so magical. ”

"Put it away."

"Hmm."

Ah Yao didn't know how important this piccolo was to Rong Qianhan, but she just thought it was an object that sent a distress signal.

She put away the piccolo and the token given by the emperor, and reminded: "Lord, you should go to the early court." ”

"Whatever you find, take care of yourself first."

"Hmm." She nodded heavily.

"Go ahead!"

"Okay."

While it was still early, she walked out of the Regent's Mansion through the back door and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion.

Because Jun Qiye sent someone to greet Yuan Ping in advance, Yuan Ping took people to wait in front of Jingzhao Mansion early in the morning.

Seeing a small man in a scarlet official uniform approaching, he went straight to meet him.

"Dare to ask if your lord is sent by the emperor?"

"Exactly."

"Adult, please."

Yuan Ping respectfully welcomed Ah Yao into Jingzhao Mansion and immediately ordered someone to serve her tea.

Judging from her official uniform, her grade is not as high as herself, but after all, she is a person sent by the emperor, and Yuan Ping does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"What do you call this adult?" Yuan Ping asked.

"You call me Xiao Yao."

"Yao" is a homophone for her Yao.

"It turned out to be Lord Yao."

A-Yao was not used to being treated like this by Yuan Ping, so she hurriedly said, "You can call me Xiaoyao." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'll call you Lord Yao!"

Seeing that Yuan Ping insisted repeatedly, she could only go with him.

"What do you think about going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to track down Mama Zhu's murder of Su Gongzi?" Yao asked.

"I'll listen to Lord Yao's arrangement."

"I have an idea, we might as well ...... like this"

Ah Yao plans to use Mama Zhu not having a son who died of illness as an excuse to suspect that Mama Zhu lied before she died, and re-investigate Su Mingxuan's death.

Yuan Ping listened and gave her a thumbs up, "Lord Yao's idea is excellent. ”

"Then we'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now."

"Okay."

After the two discussed, they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

Su Yuan went to the early dynasty and did not return, Yuan Ping led people into the Prime Minister's Mansion and told Su Yuyan's mother and daughter the truth about the re-investigation of Su Mingxuan's death.

After hearing this, Su Yuyan's mother and daughter were shocked.

"Mingxuan wasn't killed by Mama Zhu?" Su Yuyan asked.

Yuan Ping glanced at A-Yao with his spare eyes, and said: "The lower official accidentally found out that Mama Zhu did not have a son who died of illness, she lied before she died, and the lower official truthfully reported the matter to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the lower officials to continue to investigate the matter." ”

Su Yuyan's mother and daughter glanced at each other, and both of them were shocked.

After a while, Mrs. Su scolded angrily: "It must be Ah Yao's cheap maid, what means did she use to make Mama Zhu confess to her, it was Ah Yao who killed Ming Xuan." ”

Yuan Ping looked embarrassed and didn't dare to answer.

Mrs. Su stepped forward and continued, "I think Lord Yuan should go and check on A-Yao. ”

"Xia Guan thinks that it should be checked from Mama Zhu."

"That A-Yao obviously has a problem, why don't you just refuse to check her?" Mrs. Su asked loudly.

"I ......"

Ah Yao raised her voice and relieved Yuan Ping, "The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, so Mrs. Su should not embarrass Lord Yuan." ”

Mrs. Su still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Su Yuyan.

"Mother, let's not embarrass Lord Yuan, I believe that Lord Yuan will definitely find out about this matter."

Mrs. Su glanced at Su Yuyan, and finally compromised.

Yuan Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and after giving a slight salute to Su Yuyan's mother and daughter, he took Ayao to the backyard.

The two gathered the Prime Minister's Mansion and all the subordinates who had crossed paths with Mama Zhu in the backyard and questioned these people one by one.

For a whole day, they found nothing with these subordinates.

The sun was in the west, and Yuan Ping and Ayao were just about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion when they were stopped by Mrs. Su.

"Lord Yuan has been working hard for Ming Xuan's affairs for several days, and our Su family has been busy with Ming Xuan's aftermath for a long time, and we have forgotten to thank Lord Yuan well."

Yuan Ping responded respectfully with a smile, "Mrs. Su is polite, this is all within the responsibility of the lower officials." ”

"I specially instructed the kitchen to make a few more dishes today, and Lord Yuan will stay for a light meal!"

"This ......"

Lord Yuan looked at Ah Yao with an embarrassed expression.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su immediately sank her face, "It just so happens that my lord is back, and my lord is also waiting to thank Lord Yuan, shouldn't Lord Yuan not give this thin noodles?" ”

Mrs. Su has moved Su Yuan out, where does Yuan Ping dare to refuse again.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

He turned his head to look at Ah Yao, "Mrs. Su doesn't mind if the lower official brings this little brother, right?" ”

"Lord Yuan is free."

"Okay."

Yuan Ping and Ah Yao glanced at each other, and the two followed Mrs. Su to the front hall.
