"When Zhang Quan was punished to clean up the filth in the army, did he ever think that one day he could return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as his deputy general manager? Nothing is absolute, and I believe that day will come."
Xiao Chengzi nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Brother Zheng, when you went to feed the crows that day, were you really looked at by that Qiao Yan'er?" They had already heard what happened from others afterwards.
, the key to knowing the whole thing lies with Qiao Yaner.
Zheng Jiu glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you think I would be so careless? I'm sure that bitch is lying!"
Xiao Chengzi frowned and said, "But we have never met her, why would she harm us?"
Zheng Jiu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that even the empress doesn't know about this. Let's look for opportunities to investigate slowly. The day we find out is the time to avenge the manager!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely watch them die with my own eyes." After saying this, he sighed: "Actually, if something happens to the manager, the most saddened one is the empress. That Qiao Yan'er is sowing discord, but the emperor has never refused to kill her.
, and scolding the empress for this is really too much."
Zheng Jiu said with fear on his face: "That Qiao Yan'er is very powerful. Although those words may sound provocative to us, but if someone who doesn't know the inside story hears them, they will think that she is only thinking about the emperor, and she even doesn't hesitate to offend the empress for the sake of the emperor.
This could lead to death. The emperor... I'm afraid the reason why he didn't kill him is because of this." At this point, he murmured: "Who is this Qiao Yan'er... exactly?"
While they were discussing, Qiao Yan'er was lying on the bed and Dong Xiu was applying medicine to her. The latter was applying the medicine while scolding: "You are really asking for trouble. Go and testify properly. Look."
, what a mess you’ve made to yourself, and you almost lost your life.”
Qiao Yan'er turned her head and smiled: "It's been a few days, but my sister has been talking about it endlessly."
"What's the matter, do you think I'm verbose? Then don't ask me to give you medicine." After saying that, Dong Xiu sighed and said, "I feel sorry for you. After receiving twenty canes, both legs are swollen.
"
"I feel much better now. I should be able to go to the ground in a few days." Faced with Qiao Yan'er's comfort, Dong Xiu said doubtfully: "The Queen has always been gentle to others, why is she so harsh to you, and keeps asking for your life?
Did you...did you offend her somewhere?"
Qiao Yan'er said with an aggrieved look: "Sister, you know that I am not a person who doesn't know the rules. Besides, she is my benefactor, so how could I offend her?"
Dong Xiu frowned and said, "That's really strange. Since I entered the palace, I have never seen the queen so angry. Fortunately, the emperor protected her, otherwise she would have died."
Qiao Yan'er sneered and said: "She thought I was responsible for Zhou Quan's death, so she was determined to kill me. After this incident, I finally understood that the mother's love for the world and her kindness to all people are all fake.
From the beginning to the end, she has been a selfish person, and she is not willing to spare even the emperor."
Hearing her bold words, Dong Xiu's expression changed in horror, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and scolded: "You don't want to die, if these words are heard and reach the Queen's ears..."
Qiao Yan'er pulled her hand away and interrupted: "Pass it on, I've already offended her to death, and it's impossible to untie it again."
"That's what I say, but she is the queen after all. You will suffer the most if you go against her." Saying this, Dong Xiu showed a threatening look and chuckled: "Speaking of which, you girl can hide this."
It's so good that I have been with you day and night, and I haven't noticed at all that you actually admire the emperor."
"I..." Qiao Yan'er was about to say that this was not the case. She recalled what she had said before and hurriedly changed her words: "How dare I tell others about this kind of thing. If I had not been forced to do anything this time, I would
I won’t say it out loud; there’s no need to ask, it will be known to everyone by now, and I’m afraid that as soon as I walk out of here, I will be laughed at all over.”
Dongxiu put down the medicine in her hand and said: "If they want to laugh, let them laugh, no matter what they do. In fact, these are small things. What I am most worried about is the queen. I hope she has given up, otherwise..."
"As long as the emperor is here, she can't touch me." After saying this, Qiao Yan'er turned around and said, "By the way, what's going on with Wei's promise? Has he been released from the ban?"
Dong Xiu shook his head and said: "No, it is still banned as before. However, I heard that the guard who was stabbed for slaughtering the sacred crow was given leniency by the emperor because he was eager to save people and was only demoted to Lan Ling.
Guard."
Qiao Yan'er had no time to care whether Li Jifeng was dead or alive. All her thoughts were on Wei Jingxuan, "Wei agreed to be harmed and suffered so much grievance, but the emperor still refused to release her? Could it be that he hadn't had time to do so yet?"
purpose?"
"I don't know about this, but Wei Yaosheng is indeed banned in Yongshou Palace at the moment." After saying that, Dong Xiu asked curiously: "You care so much about what Wei Yaosheng does, do you know her?"
Qiao Yan'er's eyes flashed and she said: "I haven't even met Wei Zhengxuan in person, so how could I know her? I just think she is very pitiful, so I just ask a few more questions."
Dong Xiu said: "Okay, don't meddle in other people's business, just take good care of your injuries. If you are better early, I won't have to apply medicine for you every day." After that, she warned again: "You just lie down, I will
I'm going to do some work and I'll see you later."
After Dong Xiu left, Qiao Yan'er fell into deep thought. It was strange. According to her guess, after Hongli learned that Xianyue ordered Zhou Quan to harm the Wei family, he would take pity on her and released her from the ground.
But there has been no movement until now. Could it be that...she missed something?
When Qiao Yan'er was puzzled, a figure wrapped in black was kneeling in the Yangxin Hall and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, the incident of Princess Changle has passed for many years, and almost all the people related to it have passed away.
He is no longer here, and I'm afraid...it will be difficult to find out whether Wei promised to be involved." This person is the head of the secret agent directly under Hongli's charge.
Hongli was reviewing the memorial and said without raising his head: "I don't care how many years have passed, and I don't care what method you use, in any case, you must find out this matter." He paused with the ink pen in his hand, and then said: "I will give you a
Months of time, and in addition to Wei's promise, we will check to see if there is anyone else involved in the death of the little princess; if I later find out that there is a mistake or omission..." He raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head and said: "
Just kill yourself and apologize."
Cold sweat dripped spontaneously into his collar, and the spy leader said with a hint of trembling: "I obey the order."
