Chapter 48: Inside Information

When Chu Qiao ran to the foot of Yuquan Mountain in a huff, she was stopped by several guards as she was about to go up the steps.

"Didn't you receive the notice? Yuquan Mountain is closed today. We have to go to the east side of the palace wall to fetch water and come back to Yuquan Mountain tomorrow." An officer and soldier said loudly to Chu Qiao.

"Seal, seal the mountain?"

After hearing this, Chu Qiao rolled her eyes in anger, and a burst of fire rushed out of her nose. Why didn't anyone tell her about this when she went out just now?

No wonder those dead eunuchs secretly laughed at her behind her back and called her stupid. It turned out that they didn't tell her on purpose and made her trip in vain.

What a bunch of bastards. If the fourth Miss Chu doesn't show off her power, is she just a sick cat?

Chu Qiao was about to walk back with the barrel, but after thinking about it, she stopped, suppressed her anger, and looked at the officer and soldier with a smile on her face.

"Um, um...can I ask why the mountains are closed today and no water is allowed to be carried?"

"The sloping pine trees are being cut down on the mountain and the mouth of the spring is being cleaned. No one can go up the mountain for the time being." Seeing Chu Qiao's good attitude, the officer told her.

Cut down the pine trees leaning over the spring and clean the mouth of the spring?

Does this mean that what she guessed that day was confirmed and Eunuch Chen asked people to do this? Otherwise, why would they be so crazy on such a cold day?

The more Chu Qiao thought about it, the more likely she felt that this was possible.

Although the credit was not hers, Chu Qiao still couldn't suppress her happy feeling. What did Liu Zhang and Xu Jin say this time? They were still clamoring to drive her away and arrest her that day, but this time they knew that what the little handyman said was not false.

Right?

Smiling secretly, Chu Qiao seemed to be less upset than before. She easily carried the barrel and walked back humming a song.

At the well under the corner of the palace, Chu Qiao saw those eunuchs and was really angry. These men who are not men must be punished and let them know that the Fourth Miss Chu is not fooled casually.

When several young eunuchs saw Chu Qiao coming, they deliberately stopped.

"Oh, Chunxiang, you won't go to Yuquan Mountain, will you? Eunuch Li informed you early in the morning that he would fetch water from the well. Don't you know?"

When Chu Qiao heard these words, she really wanted to throw the barrel in her hand at their heads. Early in the morning, when she walked out, they were laughing behind her, and now they still pretend to be sympathetic. What a bunch of bastards.

.

But Chu Qiao took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"It's not like my trip was in vain. I met the soldiers guarding the mountain and I heard about a big thing, real inside information."

"What inside information?"

Several young eunuchs pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the excitement.

"Recently, isn't there someone who suspects that there is something wrong with the water in our imperial dining room? Not to mention, it's true... and I know who did it?"

Chu Qiao said mysteriously.

In one sentence, the faces of several young eunuchs turned green. In the past few days, people have been coming to the imperial kitchen to check the water problem. Every eunuch who carried water was suspected. Who is not afraid of trouble falling on his own head? In the palace

Here, whoever you want to die is just a matter of words. Even if you are wronged, you can only go to the King of Hell to appeal.

In an instant, several young eunuchs surrounded Chu Qiao, and Sister Chunxiang, Sister Chunxiang shouted.

"Stop talking, I still have to carry water. Oops, I'm exhausted from walking." Chu Qiao patted her thigh.

"Sister Chunxiang, just rest, I'll help you carry it."

"I'll finish it soon. Sister Chunxiang, I'll cover your water today."

The barrel was snatched away, and Chu Qiao stood under the wall. It was a rare day of leisure, and it was really pleasant.
