Liu Qiaoer looked at Princess Mingxin calmly in front of her, but a group of wild horses were running through her heart.
Princesses in ancient times really looked down on people. Liu Qiaoer had obviously helped her a lot, but she was not grateful. Instead, she acted superior to others, full of a sense of superiority, which was annoying.
It was as if telling Liu Qiaoer: It is your honor and glory that this princess can employ you, and you should be grateful to this princess.
Liu Qiaoer suppressed her crazy dissatisfaction, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and smiled politely: "Thank you for your kindness, my lady. However, I am already a member of Prince Yi's Mansion. If you want me to follow you all the time, you still need to ask Prince Yi for permission."
The reason why Liu Qiaoer became famous in the capital was because she cured Zhao Ziyu.
Moreover, Zhao Ziyu also announced that Liu Qiaoer's consultation fee when she went out for treatment was 100 taels of gold, and not everyone could afford her.
If the Queen Mother had not asked Liu Qiaoer to enter the palace, Princess Mingxin would not have had Liu Qiaoer to see her. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and they are not just for show.
When Liu Qiaoer brought up Zhao Ziyu, Princess Mingxin's face instantly turned dark.
The time-traveling Princess Mingxin is open-minded and gets along well with everyone. She is even willing to live in Prince Yi's Mansion. However, the local Princess Mingxin is not so harmonious with Zhao Ziyu.
The two were not familiar with each other, and Zhao Ziyu was the ninth uncle, high up in the sky. With him suppressing her, Princess Mingxin did not have the capital to be high up in the sky, so she would definitely be wronged.
She was used to being flattered by the Queen Mother and didn't want to be wronged.
"Okay, then you can live in the palace first, and we'll talk about it after this princess gets married."
Princess Mingxin stood up to leave, but when she passed by Liu Qiaoer, she suddenly stopped and smiled with a smug look on her face.
"If you don't come to my house as a female doctor, maybe you can change your identity, such as a concubine or a maid... I know something about your relationship with Mr. Lu..."
Liu Qiaoer was stunned for a moment. Princess Mingxin hasn't married Lu Yunzheng yet, and he's using this to threaten her
Liu Qiao'er originally didn't want to pay attention to Princess Mingxin, but her attitude today was so disgusting that Liu Qiao'er didn't want to endure it anymore.
"Really? Everyone in the capital knows about the affair between Princess Mingxin and Master Pei, but I don't know if Master Lu minds..."
Princess Mingxin’s face turned pale instantly.
Yes, although her marriage to Lu Yunzheng was arranged by the Queen Mother.
But the affair between Princess Mingxin and Pei Yuanhai was also a hot topic at the time, although now everyone knows that Pei Yuanhai had plotted against her.
But if nothing had happened to the Pei family, the person Princess Mingxin would marry would not be Lu Yunzheng.
It was obviously Lu Yunzheng who saved her, but she was still showing off in front of Liu Qiaoer. Liu Qiaoer really didn't know where she got the confidence from.
Princess Mingxin obviously still had some memory loss. She pursed her lips, turned around and was about to hit Liu Qiaoer, but Liu Qiaoer grabbed her arm.
"It seems that Shuangjiang is not here, and no one has told the princess the truth. If the princess really wants to know, Shuangjiang is in the Dali Temple prison. After all, they are master and servant, and the princess should go and see him."
Princess Mingxin's face was distorted, she gritted her teeth and said, "You know very well... that person is not me..."
Liu Qiaoer's heart sank. Could it be that she had sensed it? So what? Who would be willing to admit it
"Oh? What do you mean? I don't understand. Princess, it's getting late. Please go to bed early."
There are some things that Princess Mingxin can't explain clearly, so she can only endure it. However, she dislikes Liu Qiaoer more and more.
However, Liu Qiaoer didn't care. She entered the palace for Zhao Ziyu, not for herself.
In the dead of night, Liu Qiaoer quietly came out of the palace in a black nightgown.
The evidence of Zhao Ziyu's mother's murder has been found, and now they have to find the jade ornament that was left behind. Only Liu Qiaoer has seen the appearance of the jade ornament.
She needs to contact Yue Niang in the palace and ask Yue Nishang for help to find the jade pendant. Only then can Zhao Ziyu continue to implement her plan of revenge against the Queen Mother.
Tonight, Liu Qiaoer is going to take a night stroll around the palace.
There were palace guards patrolling everywhere in the palace, and Liu Qiaoer found Yue Nishang and Yue Niang first.
Unexpectedly, Yue Nishang had already received news about Zhao Ziyu and asked her to assist Liu Qiaoer.
Under the leadership of Yue Nishang, the two ran to Yue Niang's palace again.
Compared with Yue Nishang, Yue Niang has her own palace because of the emperor's favor, but because of her poor background, the palace is a bit remote.
But it was just enough for three people to make plans.
When Yue Niang saw Liu Qiao'er coming, she was a little excited: "You are here. What did the young master say? Why did you suddenly change the plan? Do you know how much effort we put into this plan?"
Liu Qiaoer took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket, on which was a pattern of a jade pendant.
"Because we found something that the prince's mother left for him, but this place requires a key to enter, and the current clues to this key are with the Queen Mother in the palace. Finding the key is more important than killing the Queen Mother for revenge."
Yue Niang looked at it carefully and said she had remembered it.
Yue Nishang was a maid in the Empress Dowager's palace. Although her status was relatively low, she was responsible for cleaning the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
She looked at it carefully and said, "I think I've seen it before, but I don't know if it's true?"
"Have you seen it somewhere?" Liu Qiaoer and Yue Niang asked at the same time.
Yue Nishang couldn't remember clearly, and she said vaguely: "It's in the Queen Mother's jewelry storeroom..."
It's easy to do once you have a purpose. Liu Qiaoer asked Yue Niang to go back first, and she and Yue Nishang went to the Queen Mother's palace together.
In order not to implicate Yue Nishang, Liu Qiaoer asked her to go back first and she went into the Queen Mother's bedroom alone.
Compared to the outside of the palace, the Empress Dowager's bedroom is heavily guarded.
There were many palace maids and eunuchs where the empress dowager lived, and it was crowded and congested, so Liu Qiaoer found a palace maid's uniform and changed into it.
Although the palace is large and has many rooms, there is the empress dowager's bedroom, the palace for the maids, and most importantly, the empress dowager's warehouse.
I heard all her good stuff is in the warehouse.
In that case, Liu Qiaoer would not be polite. In the entire palace, the most crowded places besides the bedroom were the empress dowager's warehouse.
When Liu Qiaoer arrived outside the warehouse, she saw a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, so it was a bit difficult to get in.
Liu Qiaoer rolled her eyes and turned to go to Concubine Su's palace not far from the Empress Dowager's palace, and set a fire in an uninhabited side hall.
After half an hour, the fire started and the whole palace was in an uproar.
"The fire is coming, the fire is coming, everyone hurry up..."
The guards in the Queen Mother's palace were closest to the fire, so one third of them were left to guard the place while the rest went to put out the fire.
Only then did Liu Qiaoer quietly slip into the warehouse.
The Queen Mother’s things were indeed all good stuff, including corals that were two people tall and exquisite Suzhou embroidery that was double-sided. The embroidered cats were lifelike. There was no gold or silver, but only jewels, and each one was extremely rare.
Liu Qiaoer originally wanted to pick and choose and put away the things, but then she thought that the empress dowager would die in a few days, and when she was gone, she didn’t know who would get all these good things.
With a determined heart, Liu Qiaoer put all the good things into the warehouse.
"Pack your things and don't forget to find Yujue."
Long Batian entered the sorting mode.
Liu Qiaoer went in quietly and went out quietly. After coming out, she originally wanted to go with the crowd to put out the fire.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance at the corner.
"Miss Liu, what a coincidence! Everyone is out putting out the fire. What are you doing here?"
