In this way, he not only complies with the decree and marries Aling'a's daughter as his direct descendant, but also achieves the goal of wooing Dashe and consolidating the power of Prince Guo's palace. This plan is not unreasonable. Princess Qin... really should not be underestimated.
.
However, this behavior of Concubine Qin made Ling Ruo a little disgusted, because she could feel that what Concubine Qin valued most was not Yunli's happiness, but Prince Guo's palace, in other words, power and interests. Perhaps.
, in her eyes, Yunli is just a chess piece, a chess piece that can help her enjoy her old age and enjoy prosperity. Just like Nala's treatment of Hongshi, they all have the intention of taking advantage of her.
Thinking like this, Ling Ruo said: "I can assist you in explaining the concubine's request to the emperor, but what about the Seventeenth Master? Will he agree to it?"
Hearing what Ling Ruo said, Concubine Qin hurriedly said: "As long as the empress agrees to help with this, I will convince Yunli."
"Okay, I will do my best." After receiving Ling Ruo's words, Concubine Qin left Chengqian Palace. Shui Yue came in and asked curiously: "What did the master say to Concubine?"
"When did you become so talkative?" Seeing Ling Ruo glance at her, Shuiyue quickly lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, not daring to say more.
Ling Ruo was also upset, so she spoke in a heavier tone. Seeing Shui Yue like this, she calmed down and said, "By the way, how about the matter that I asked you to tell Mo Yu to investigate?"
"Returning to the master, Mo Yu has always asked Thirteenth Master to send people to investigate the matter. However, many years have passed since the incident, and some people have moved away and disappeared. However, I think that just those people who have been traced are enough to investigate.
**Zhai’s old case, why not..."
Shui Yue didn't say anything else, but Ling Ruoyi understood what he meant. She looked at San Fu who came in with Shui Yue and said, "By the way, you were still with the queen at the time. How much do you know about this matter?"
Sanfu thought for a moment and said: "I know this matter quite well. In fact, there is nothing wrong with **Zhai's rouge and gouache. As for those who sued **Zhai, they were bribed by the queen and then deliberately ruined their faces.
In order to achieve the purpose of falsely accusing ** Zhai, it is
Because of this, some individuals were able to buy houses and land after this incident. However, after a few years, it is impossible for you, master, to find evidence to prove the queen. Master, you also understand her methods.
There may be some clues left for you to follow."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "I understand, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stand for so many years. I just want to know if there is any way to prove that they falsely accused **Zhai."
This time Sanfu thought longer than before. As he said, it is definitely not easy to find some clues from what Nala did. Even for him, who has been with Nala for many years.
Same thing.
"The slave knows that the banknotes paid to those people at that time were all from Baoshun Bank. If we can find out the records of them going to the bank to cash the banknotes, the case may be overturned, unless they have very reasonable reasons to explain these banknotes.
The source of.”
As soon as Sanfu finished speaking, Shuiyue said: "In the capital city alone, there are more than ten Baoshun Bank branches and branches. How long will it take to turn over this one? Besides, it has been several years.
, where can I find the records?”
Sanfu shook his head and said: "No, Baoshun Bank, as the largest bank in the country, has its own way of operating. I know that Baoshun Bank has kept records of cashing out money for at least five years, so I need to check
There is still a way, but it is not easy. And one thing we have to be careful about is not letting the queen notice it, otherwise she will definitely find a way to destroy the evidence."
"I know, I will send people to investigate. As for the queen..." Ling Ruo chuckled and said: "During this period, the things arranged by this palace are enough for the queen to take care of herself, so how can she have time to take care of herself?"
Things outside the palace."
Besides, Concubine Qin had been sullen since she left Chengqian Palace, and she didn't say a word. Hongying saw that Concubine Qin was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to ask more questions and just followed her all the way to the gate of Prince Guo's Mansion.
She gently opened the sedan curtain and said to Concubine Qin who was sitting inside: "Princess, you have arrived at the palace. My servant will help you get out of the sedan."
Concubine Qin helped Hongying get out of the sedan without saying a word. However, she did not rush in. Instead, she stared at the four words "Prince Guo's Mansion" on the door for a long time. For a moment, Hongying looked at this
There was a ferocious look on the face of the concubine who seemed to be indifferent to the world.
At this moment, there was only one thought that appeared in the sea of Concubine Qin's face: This mansion and this plaque were earned by her for most of her life, and she would never allow anyone to take them away, let alone this dead girl Ping'er.
, even if we can’t kill her now, we will still need her life in the future!
After returning to the courtyard, Ping'er hurried up to greet her and said, "Toffee, you are back. I had put the watermelon in the well water to freeze. Now it's just right to take it out."
Ping'er was about to leave when Princess Qin stopped her and said, "No, I have something to ask you. Come with me to the house."
"Yes." Ping'er didn't think anything was wrong at first, but after she came in, Qin Taifei asked Hongying to close the door, which not only blocked out the hot weather outside, but also made the room feel a little more gloomy.
Ping'er stood uncomfortably in the room and whispered: "I wonder if the concubine has anything to tell the slaves?"
"Kneel down!" Princess Qin's sharp shout startled Ping'er, and she knelt down subconsciously. When her knees touched the hard ground, she recovered from the shock and said aggrievedly: "
Princess, I wonder what mistake this slave has made?"
Concubine Qin looked grim and said: "Let me ask you, what did Xiao Ningzi say when he came to you before?"
Ping'er's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said: "Didn't the concubine ask the slave about this before? Eunuch Ning just came to give clothes to the slave and didn't say anything else. Why did the concubine..."
Before Ping'er could finish her words, Concubine Qin slapped her palm hard on the table. The sound was so loud that Hongying was startled. Concubine Qin stared at Ping'er and said coldly.
Said: "From this moment on, if I ask you, you'd better answer honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you. Tell me, did Xiao Ningzi ask you about Yunli and Concubine Xi?"
Ping'er was shocked and hurriedly raised her head. Although it quickly lowered again, it was enough for Concubine Qin to see the clues.
Ping'er tried her best to control her body so as not to shiver too obviously, "When I went back to the concubine, Eunuch Ning did not ask this slave. This slave..."
"You still refuse to tell the truth, do you?" Concubine Qin said expressionlessly, and said to Hongying: "Go and call the boy holding the stick in."
