Chapter 394 The Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace
The next day.
Jiang An, who had a dreamless night, opened the window facing the front yard.
She was wearing only her inner garment, stepping on the ground barefoot, looking up to feel the mottled morning sunlight...
The little girl took a deep breath. The air from the top of the mountain seemed to contain maltose, making her feel relaxed and happy.
After a simple vegetarian breakfast, the little girl first sent someone to the front yard to ask whether the imperial teacher had come out of seclusion.
Then she met the secret guard who had returned from an overnight interrogation.
Because the young lady ordered not to disturb anyone, the interrogation last night was conducted in the concubine's palace...
Jiang An was stunned when he found out, "Under the nose of the Concubine Dowager?"
And he interrogated her all night long using all sorts of methods?
The secret guard answered without any hesitation, "Yes."
The secret guards interrogated him all night long, so didn't the concubine do the same thing all night long?
Sometimes when a knife falls on someone close to you, and you watch them scream, struggle, and wail in pain, it hurts more than when the knife falls on yourself.
This kind of torture is enough to make a person collapse.
The little girl smacked her lips and tilted her head to ask Nianniang, "Do you know how the toffee is doing this morning?"
Nianniang shook her head. "I didn't go to check. I heard from the guards who delivered the food that the man was sleeping on the floor in the hall. There was no sound."
Wouldn't it be scary...
Jiang An touched the tip of her nose guiltily. She really didn't do this on purpose!
"Go on..."
Secret guard: "Yes!"
"There is a secret room in the Queen Mother's Palace. There are house deeds, land deeds, and a lot of gold and silver in it. There are also letters and secret maps exchanged with some ministers in the court, and secret letters exchanged with the second prince are also there."
"There are a lot of things in the dark room, and it's messy. I haven't asked anyone to move them out."
He presented a thick stack of papers, "This is what I pried out from the mouths of the concubine's confidants... about several secret agents and spies planted in several ministers and the palace."
"I have already sent the rest of the secret team to follow the young lady's instructions."
"The guarantor is unaware..."
The little girl motioned for Nianniang to take it, but did not look at it closely.
"Have you discovered who is in contact with the Second Prince?"
Secret Guard: "The old lady confessed that when the Second Prince, who was repairing the official road in the north, was recalled to the capital..."
"Your Majesty has granted the Second Prince the task of conducting the imperial examination. Before the examination, the Second Prince came to the Huguo Temple to pray for everything to go smoothly. Since then, the Concubine has been cooperating with him."
"They never met each other, and their correspondence was exchanged when the eunuchs and maids went down the mountain to the capital to buy food."
The food, clothing and other necessities of the nobles were all of the best, and there were only a few places selling them in the capital, so it would only matter if the Second Prince and the Dowager Concubine happened to use one of them.
Besides, many things in the palace of the Concubine Dowager belong to the palace...
In the imperial city, even a mouse would have to look carefully to see which palace it came from, because the guards, eunuchs, maids, etc. all had masters behind them.
Isn't it easy for the two of them to send a secret letter?
Jiang An rubbed his forehead, his fat face filled with worry.
My head hurts, the more I think about it, the more it hurts...
If that's the case...
She chuckled, waved her hand, and said, "Take the things in the dark room and bring them back to the north, and send more people on the way."
"Yes."
Things that she couldn't figure out would naturally be handed over to her father and Hu Yan~
She causes trouble, but her father cleans her ass.
Anyway, she is not in the north now, so she won't be beaten in the short term.
After the little girl's actions, the concubine's power had basically been destroyed.
Even if she managed to escape from Jiang An one day, it would be difficult for her to make a comeback.
Until now, the power of the Concubine has been taken over by Jiang An!
The little girl behind the desk looked sad, "Who's next?"
"Miss!"
Zhengyan walked into the room with a frown on his face, and it seemed that what he wanted to say was not a trivial matter.
"The Queen Mother sent someone to invite you into the palace..."
"Right now, people are waiting at the entrance of Huguo Temple."
"Ah…"
Jiang An propped his face up with his hands and said lazily, "This is a gift that comes right to my door."
Zheng Yan's eyes lit up, "Miss, do you want to fight?"
Zhenglu stumbled as he entered the room and his face turned dark.
Beat, beat, beat! I'll beat your unlucky brother to death!
The former shrank his neck and hid behind the little girl.
The little girl was speechless and covered her face with her hands, "What are you hitting me for..."
"People kindly invited you into the palace, and you hit them?"
"You want the threshold of this Huguo Temple to be trampled flat by those censors tomorrow, right?"
Zhengyan was aggrieved, "What should we do? We can't really let the young lady go to the palace..."
Jiang An thought for a moment and told Zheng Lu, "Go find the general in the Akabane Army and bring him back to report to the palace."
"My grandmother was not in good health. I was traveling for days and worried about her health, so I fell ill and couldn't get out of bed."
The old men in the palace are all shrewd people. If the guards of the Huguo Temple were suddenly replaced, they would definitely be able to notice something unusual, so taking the general with them is the best choice.
Seeing Zhenglu leave the house, Nianniang looked at her young lady and said, "Miss, do you want to lie down and pretend?"
After all, he is seriously ill. He can't just sit here like this.
The little girl raised her eyebrows, threw away the things in her hands, and climbed onto the bed.
I saw the quilt shook, and the next moment a small bulge appeared on the bed~
Wow, you run pretty fast!
This was the only thought in Zhengyan's mind.
A white and tender claw stretched out from the hill, followed by a head.
"Brew~"
The little girl chuckled and said, "Did the court doctor send a lot of strange medicines?"
"Let me go and look for it."
Nianniang looked expressionless on the surface, but in fact there was a faint smile in her eyes.
About half an hour later, the old eunuch who followed Zhenglu into the courtyard saw the little girl lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
Look at that pale face, the pale lips, and the dark circles under the eyes...
Zhenglu was stunned.
He blinked his eyes, as if he was dreaming!
He couldn't figure it out, he just went out for a trip.
In less than half an hour, how come my young lady looks like a dying person?
He twisted his hands around his brother's waist, "Explain!"
These two words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
Zhengyan's face turned red, it was definitely painful!
Miss, I have really endured too much for you!
The young guard blinked his eyes to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but his mouth was like a sawed gourd and he would never open his mouth no matter how hard he tried.
"My father-in-law saw it..."
Nianniang's voice was hoarse and full of hostility. She stood in front of the bed, staring at the old eunuch.
"Since you have seen it, please come in!"
"My young lady is not in good health and cannot be easily disturbed."
This unkind tone...
The little girl lying on the bed, pretending to be serious, rolled her eyes.
Don't mention it, Niangniang's acting is quite realistic~
Being treated like this by a little maid, the old eunuch's face turned grim for a moment.
Then he thought of the little girl's serious illness, and he didn't want to care about it anymore. He turned around and prepared to return to the palace to report to the Queen Mother.
As the old eunuch walked out, he was still thinking: It would be best if this little girl died in this Huguo Temple!
If it weren't for her, how could the eldest prince have died!
As a result, the Queen Mother is now worried all day long because of that bastard Jiang Yizhou!
