Finally got into the palace, but Lin Jingmo didn’t know where to start the investigation. She didn’t care about the independent intrigues and undercurrents, but she unknowingly fell into it...
Every time Mrs. Qing recalled that her child was called Mother Chen Minran, she became very angry. Although she knew that recording the child in Chen Minran's name was not only beneficial to the prince, but also to the child, but she clearly gave birth to the child.
It's so painful not being able to meet each other. Even if she gets Qi Xuanyi's unique love, what's the use? It's not like she has to be separated from her flesh and blood...
After thinking about it, Mrs. Qing leaned on the imperial concubine and shed tears silently.
She suddenly thought of Lin Jingmo, so she asked Mama Liu next to her: "Where was that girl yesterday? Didn't you say she would help me? Speaking of which... I don't even know her name! Find her here!"
”
Liu's mother replied: "Yes. I will go find her now!"
Lin Jingmo is currently wandering around the palace.
She didn't know where to go to find evidence that Zhao Wang Qi Xuanyi and Zhongshu Ling Chen Mianzheng colluded with Beiyan to make profits. Looking back, wasn't Shang Shixu's account book in the study? But this prince seemed to be unlearned and unskilled.
It seems that I may not necessarily have the habit of keeping accounts. Moreover, even if there is an account book, I'm afraid... it won't be that easy to find.
Lin Jingmo was thinking about it, and couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when looking at the unfamiliar palace in front of him.
She still had to find Chen Minran, and her intuition told Lin Jingmo that she was the link between Chen Mianzheng and Qi Xuanyi. If there was any evidence, it would most likely be in the hands of Chen Minran!
Lin Jingmo was thinking as he walked, until someone behind him shouted: "Girl! Girl, where are you going?"
Lin Jingmo turned her head in confusion, and Liu's mother grabbed her shoulders and said, "Why don't you go out for a walk instead of working early in the morning?"
Lin Jingmo remembered that Mrs. Qing had indeed agreed to her being a maid in the courtyard yesterday. How could a maid not work?
Lin Jingmo hurriedly replied: "Mom, don't get me wrong. I'm not lazy. It's my first day at the palace. I'm not familiar with the route and I accidentally got lost."
After hearing this, Mother Liu thought about it. In such a big palace, even she would probably get lost if she came back for the first time.
So she said angrily: "What are you doing out here if you don't know the road? Follow me!"
Lin Jingmo replied: "Yes."
As she walked towards Mrs. Qing's courtyard, Liu's mother asked, "I was in such a rush yesterday that I forgot to ask you, what is your name?"
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo said casually: "My name is Mo'er. Mom just calls me Mo'er."
Liu's mother suddenly stopped when she heard this and asked, "Don't you have a last name?"
Lin Jingmo lowered her eyes sadly, her long eyelashes covering the emotions in her eyes, and said lightly: "My surname is Lin..."
"Well!" Mother Liu said coldly: "Since you have followed our Mrs. Qing, from now on, don't play with your cleverness! Serve Mrs. Qing well, our Mrs. Qing is a good person, if you are loyal, she will not treat you badly.
of."
Lin Jingmo followed her silently without answering, wondering what he was thinking.
Mother Liu stopped again, and Lin Jingmo also stopped. She pointed to the courtyard in front of her. There were three big characters written on the courtyard door: Song'an Courtyard.
Liu's mother said: "This is the prince's courtyard. Don't rush in if you have nothing to do on weekdays, otherwise even Mrs. Qing won't be able to save you!"
Lin Jingmo looked in through the courtyard gate. There were layers of gates and layers of guards, bottomless.
Liu's mother waved her hand in front of her eyes and said, "Hey, hey, hey! I just told you not to break in, look at how eager you are! Do you still want to go in and visit?"
Lin Jingmo quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare, a villain."
"Humph!" Mother Liu continued to walk forward, and said something as she left: "It's okay if it's not good."
The two of them walked to Fragrant Garden. Mother Liu pointed and said, "This is the residence of the princess. Our prince also lives here!"
Especially when talking about the Crown Prince, she emphasized it, as if she was afraid that others would not know the relationship between the Crown Prince and them.
Lin Jingmo glanced at it casually and immediately withdrew his gaze, for fear of being discovered again.
Mother Liu rolled her eyes at Lin Jingmo angrily, but said nothing. She continued walking forward, stopped when she reached Qingzhu Courtyard, and said, "Remember, our courtyard is called Qingzhu Courtyard!"
Lin Jingmo looked up and didn't see the plaque.
Mother Liu shook her head and stretched out her hand to push aside the bamboo. Sure enough, on the far left side of the courtyard gate, there were three characters "Qingzhu Yuan" engraved on it.
"So it's here!" Lin Jingmo said with a smile: "No wonder I didn't see it when I came in yesterday! Mrs. Qing's maiden name is Qing, so she lives in Qingzhuyuan! Why didn't I think of that?"
But Mother Liu replied: "If you had seen it and thought about it, wouldn't you have been found in Qingzhu Courtyard, but in another courtyard?"
Lin Jingmo was confused when asked. She indeed did not come to see Mrs. Qing in the first place, so naturally she would not come to Qingzhuyuan.
Mother Liu looked Lin Jingmo up and down for a long time and said: "It's called Qingzhuyuan because our wife's maiden name is Qing. On the other hand, our wife is allergic to flowers and only loves green bamboo! But you said it was for cloth."
You work in a shop, but your skin is fair and your arms are smooth. You don’t look like a girl who is used to doing rough work at all. You are quite pretty, could it be that... you are trying to seduce the prince?!"
"Absolutely not!" Lin Jingmo reached out and hurriedly denied it, saying: "The villain never meant this!"
"Humph!" Liu's mother said: "It's best like this!"
After that, the two of them walked into the courtyard.
Lin Jingmo arrived in a panic and in a hurry yesterday. Although she also found that the courtyard was full of bamboos and there were no flowers and plants, she didn't think much about it.
Thinking about it this way, although I just passed by Princess Chen Minran's courtyard and didn't see anything in a hurry, I could smell the fragrance of various flowers inside through the courtyard wall. No wonder Mrs. Qing said she couldn't see her son every day.
I'm afraid that the yard is full of flowers and plants. She is allergic to the fragrance of flowers, so she can't even get close to it easily, right?
Lin Jingmo suddenly recalled Chen Minran. This sister Chen had been friends with Lin Jingmo's sister Lin Kongqing since childhood. They were the same age and learned knitting and women's rings at the same time. From childhood to adulthood, they learned the same calligraphy.
Read the same book and understand the same principles. Unfortunately, Lin Kongqing was appointed as the crown princess by the emperor who was still the crown prince at the time, and she could only settle for the next best thing, and finally married Qi Xuanyi, the king of Zhao who was far away in Chenzhou. Although she was the princess,
But since she got married, she and her father have been separated from each other. She clearly knows the pain of separation, so why does she treat Mrs. Qing like this?
