The letter contained all the clues that Xiaochenzi obtained in the dark court today.
The queen read the letter three or four times without missing any key point.
From this point of view, Tianfu was indeed raised by people in the dark court...
So, could the person who gave Tianfu the medicine be in that small courtyard?
She is still not sure what is hidden in the yard, but one thing is roughly certain - the scope of what they need to explore next has been narrowed down a lot again - the answer she wants... is probably
Hidden in that courtyard!
But how can she find out what's going on in that courtyard?
Xiaochenzi mentioned in the letter that someone had sneaked into the courtyard and found no trace of anyone alive.
It can be seen that even if there is, it must be well hidden...
While the queen frowned and thought about countermeasures, she suddenly felt that the hem of her skirt was rubbed by something soft.
She regained consciousness for a moment, reached out to pick up the cat, put her forehead against the cat's furry head, rubbed it gently, and sighed in a low voice with a smile: "God, it would be great if you could speak..."
"
Tianfu must know what is hidden in the yard. Just give the two yellow croakers something to eat and keep it for safekeeping. It would be much easier.
Tianfu let out a long "meow" - wasn't he talking?
"But I don't understand..." The queen smiled, holding the cat in her arms, and scratched the soft baby's belly with her fingers.
Scratching, the smile on the queen's face suddenly stopped——
Tianfu cannot speak...
But God can send messages!
If what is hidden in the secret court is really Qiao Bingying, and the emperor keeps the mother and son of the Qiao family here, although he prevents Qiao Bingying's son from entering the official position, he does not eradicate the root cause...
Come to think of it, Qiao Bingying may not be willing to work for the emperor.
A doctor who is outstanding enough can not only save people, but also kill people. The emperor wants to use this person to do things, and he must ensure that this person has no evil intentions. It is only "appropriate" to threaten the lives of his family members.
And Tianfu will definitely go to the dark court to find that person. What if...she uses Tianfu to send a note?
As soon as this idea took shape in her mind, the queen denied it.
no……
It's too risky to do so.
Tianfu is her cat, and no one cares about it when it runs around. If she carries something like a note with her, if she is accidentally discovered by others, she will be exposed.
Moreover, she is not sure whether the other party is Qiao Bing. Even if she does send a message, what can she say?
Let me ask directly - are you Dr. Qiao Bingying Qiao?
It's better to lay the groundwork by making small talk and establish a good relationship first - have you eaten? Have you slept? What a coincidence, we are feeding the same cat, would you consider making friends?
Even if you do this without considering the consequences, you won't be able to wait for a half-word reply, right?
Forget it, she'd better write a letter to A Yuan first.
Young people are smarter than her and may have better ideas.
With this in mind, the queen wrote the letter without delay, and sent someone to find an opportunity to send it out of the palace early the next morning.
The letter passed through Wu Chao's hands and soon reached Xu Mingyi's hands.
She took the letter and went to Xu Yun.
"I would also like to trouble my second uncle to write another letter to Mr. Qiao and invite him to speak."
Xu Yun has not been lying on the bed all day long in recent days. He was currently reading in the study. When he heard his niece's words, he asked, "But has there been any progress?"
Xu Mingyi nodded: "The Queen sent someone to deliver the letter this morning——"
Xu Yun asked hurriedly: "Did you bring Xinke?"
After asking, he seemed to feel that he seemed too eager, so he put on a calm expression.
However, this makes people feel that there is too much drama and too much care.
Fortunately, the niece had no intention of revealing his thoughts, so she just took the letter out of her sleeve and handed it to him.
Xu Yun took out the letter paper and unfolded it. What he saw was unfamiliar yet familiar handwriting. For a long time, he read three or two lines in succession. He clearly knew every word, but he couldn't read what was said between the lines.
something.
After he calmed down and read through it thoroughly, he nodded and said, "I'll write a letter to Xiuyu..."
The moment he started writing, his pen tip paused slightly.
Even though he didn't seem to have done anything in this matter——
But he really hasn't had this feeling for many years...
The feeling of doing the same thing with her.
After the letter was written, Xu Yun suddenly asked when he was putting away the pen: "She said in the letter that the cat she raised often goes to the dark court to meet that person?"
Xu Mingyi nodded and said, "Tianfu is indispensable for this progress."
"So I thought of a way to find out whether that person is Xiu Yu's father..." Xu Yun said: "There is no need to pass any note, and it will not attract anyone's attention."
"Second uncle, please tell me——"
She wanted to invite Mr. Qiao here this time to discuss the matter.
After Xu Yun's letter was sent out that day, Qiao Tian went to the gate of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion around noon the next day.
Mr. Qiao left just after dark this time.
This time he was even more drunk, and was even helped out of Xu Yun's yard.
Xu Mingshi looked a little worried, so he took his servants to personally put the people into the carriage.
Watching the carriage drive away from sight, Xu Mingshi looked up at the sky, trying to use the pure starry sky to cleanse his dirty mind——
Recently, Mr. Qiao came to see his second uncle for a drink twice, and both left like this. Under this situation, the pictures that had just faded slightly in his mind reappeared again, and even became scarier and more vivid...
…
He even wanted to find a doctor and ask - is there any way he can be saved in this situation?
…
The next day, when Mrs. Xue, the wife of Prince Dingnan, came into the palace to talk to the queen, she brought over a box of snacks made in the palace.
The snacks are all the queen's favorite.
In addition to the snacks, what was also delivered was exactly what she needed.
After Mr. Xue left, the queen asked someone to bring Tianfu over.
She took a round rope, threaded it through a longevity lock, and put it around Tianfu's neck.
"This thing is extremely important. Tianfu must not lose it..." the queen said, rubbing the cat's head.
Aunt Jiang said in a low voice from the side: "My Lady, do you want someone to lead Tianfu there?"
"No need." The queen shook her head and said, "Tianfu can go whenever he wants. Don't be in a hurry. Just leave him alone day and night."
This kind of thing, once done deliberately, can easily leave traces.
The more critical this is, the more cautious we must be, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain if there is even the slightest mistake.
The reason why she has never made any mistakes in these years in the palace is simply due to her caution.
Aunt Jiang nodded in agreement.
However, early the next morning, a palace maid came to report that Tianfu had run away and that she had sent someone to look for him.
The Queen was a little surprised when she heard this, and when she looked at Aunt Jiang, she couldn't help but blink her eyes - is she so lucky to be so lucky?
So until the sky darkened, the cat swung its tail and leisurely returned to the Jade Kun Palace.
