Xu An left the palace, but Xu Yu's body was still parked in the palace. Everyone in the palace was busy, but Man Bao and Bai Shan seemed to be back to the past, reading, repairing books, or reading books every day.
After leaving the palace to teach, I had a lot more time.
Even when Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu came over, Manbao still had time to sit on the rockery with them, swinging his legs and chatting.
It's just that they themselves know that everyone is still a little different. Even Mr. Zhuang said, "You have become more stable."
There was some relief and sigh in the words.
Princess Changyu was mostly unhappy. She pulled a pebble off the rockery and threw it down, shaking her legs and saying, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Man Bao turned to her curiously and asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"
Chang Yu complained: "I'm not the crown prince, I said it was the East Palace who wanted to investigate the people who harmed the emperor's grandson, but in the end they were all found in my palace."
She said: "Many people were taken away from my palace. This morning I asked for hot water to wash my face, but the water that was brought to me was not very hot."
Mingda said: "It's not just your palace. I, my father, and my mother have all taken away many people from the harem. And it's not just because of Eagle Slave. There are people with such evil intentions in the palace. Of course we have to find out."
"
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess still hadn't decided on a nickname for their child after eight or nine months of thinking about it. The Emperor couldn't stand it, so he finally decided on a nickname for the child after he was bathed, and he called him Yingnu.
Because the child looked quite strong now, the emperor hoped that he would be as strong as an eagle and soar into the sky in the future.
Although the prince was a little reluctant to use the nickname given by the emperor, he thought about it and found that the name was not bad, so he accepted it.
Man Bao shook his legs and said nothing.
Seeing her silence, Chang Yu bumped into her and asked curiously: "You live in Chongwen Hall, and this matter started from you, so you haven't heard about it?"
She said: "There are too many people arrested in the palace now. I heard that several people were arrested even from the imperial grandmother."
Man Bao smiled and said: "I was just asked a few times by Mr. Tang. Although the needle bag that was replaced was mine, it was not me who harmed anyone. The only person who had anything to do with me, Xu Yu, also committed suicide.
This matter has nothing to do with me anymore."
"That's right," Chang Yu thought for a moment and said, "What they are investigating now should be Xu Yu's accomplices. But there are so many people who are her accomplices?"
Man Bao didn't say anything, and Ming Da didn't say anything either. Now, it's not their turn to take care of these things, but they do have some doubts in their hearts.
There were many people on Xu Yu's list, some of whom she knew for sure were accomplices, but there were not many, only twelve people in total.
Three of them had studied together. Although they had not seen each other for several years and were young at the time, she had always had a good memory, so she remembered them.
In fact, she knew a total of eight people, but only three survived in the end. One of them was infected after purification and did not live for two years.
The remaining four died due to illness or other reasons.
After she entered the palace, she was led by a person named Aunt Mao. She was a steward of Yeting Palace, but she was in very poor health and was about to die.
And Xu Yu is the person she wants to train to take over. It is precisely because of this that Xu Yu has come into contact with many people in the past two years.
These people are naturally in the same group.
There are also people who are not in league with each other. Xu Yu can know about them because she was young when she entered the palace and many people were not wary of her.
But she is also smart and intelligent, and she is very sensitive to her own kind, so she feels the subtleties of many other people in the palace.
The second reason is because of Aunt Mao.
Aunt Mao has been operating in the palace for many years, and of course she has also discovered other details. She doesn't care who is behind those people, she just asks Xu Yu to write it down. If she is investigated in the future, she can find a way to push the person out to prevent herself from trouble.
It's just that Aunt Mao didn't calculate that Xu Yu would die before her, so she pushed her out.
Aunt Mao was dragged to the chair and there was a lot of blood on her body.
Yin Li walked in from outside and asked Tang He, "Are you still unwilling to speak?"
Mr. Tang nodded, "The family members in her booklet are also fake."
Yin Li glanced down at her and said expressionlessly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. Her real family may not still be there. Xu Yu has only been in the palace for a few years. Isn't the news he received false?"
Aunt Mao, who had been silent all this time, moved and raised her head slightly.
Tang He said: "Xu Yu's aunt, Aunt Xu was arrested. I think she should know more about the people behind the scenes than you, right?"
Aunt Mao looked at him weakly and said nothing.
Mr. Tang said slowly: "Xu Yu has a younger brother, you should know about it, right?"
"The situation of her brother outside the palace was first reported to you, and then you told her?" Mr. Tang asked: "Let me think about it, how did they lie to her in the first place? That her brother was doing well?
Very good. If you become a book boy for a young master, you can marry a wife and have children in the future, or redeem your life and become a good person?"
Aunt Mao said in a hoarse voice: "Her brother has been sent to the palace."
"When did you know that?"
Aunt Mao said: "The first two years."
She said: "Every month, news from outside the palace would be sent to the palace, including news about her brother. But once again, I found out that she was making underwear for people, and it was men's. I thought she was in love with her regardless of life or death.
I didn't know which guard or chamberlain she wanted, but later I watched quietly and found that she didn't give her underwear away, but she took a detour to the Anfu Gate more than once."
"I saw Xu An. Eunuch Ren, who was with Xu An, and I found out that they looked a bit alike. We guessed that they were siblings. The news sent in from outside the palace was false."
Mr. Tang asked: "Have you never thought that the news about your family members is also false?"
Aunt Mao, who had been reluctant to speak, shook her head and said with a smile: "I have no family for a long time. We are different from Xu Yuxu An. We have no relatives when we enter the palace. But if you don't obey, you will die quickly."
, and then it turned out that we had done too many things and we could no longer look back.”
She lowered her head and said, "Sir, I'm going to die. If you want to kill me, just kill me."
Master Tang frowned, "Since you are about to die, why have you refused to admit who is behind the scenes?"
Aunt Mao shook her head and said: "They were sorry to Xu Yu and Xu An, but they were not sorry to me. I cannot betray the Lord."
Mr. Tang was very angry.
Yin Li had already turned around and walked out. Mr. Tang glanced at Aunt Mao, turned around and followed him out.
Yin Li said: "Focus on the investigation of the Xu family outside the palace. The family members of these people in the palace are either fake or have no one. But are there no people outside the palace as well?"
Xu Yuji's list is very complicated. Although Yin Li investigated it comprehensively, the focus is still on the master behind Xu Yu. Only by pulling out a thread can the entire network be pulled out.
