The prince stretched out his hand, and Man Bao put the needle bag in his hand.
The prince lowered his eyes and looked for a while, and said: "I know you don't know who it is, but you must have doubts, tell me, who is it?"
After hesitating for a while, Man Bao asked: "Your Highness, there is no evidence, it's just a suspicion. You will use torture."
The prince glanced at her angrily and said: "If you don't mention people who doubt, then the entire East Palace, especially the people in Chongwen Hall, whether they are servants, maids, or lecturers or editors, who may have access to your medicine box Everyone will be interrogated, oh, including Bai Shan and Bai Cheng."
Man Bao immediately said: "We suspect that Xu Yu, who is waiting by my side, is here, but I quietly stared at her for a long time, but I didn't see anything."
The prince glanced at her up and down, and said with contempt: "You? Don't startle the snake?"
"Impossible!" Man Bao said confidently, "I won't startle anyone who makes mistakes."
She didn't stare at herself, she was stared at by Keke. "
The prince looked at the needle bag in his hand and said, "Is it her? Just catch her and ask her once."
Seeing Zhou Man's bitter face, he said: "Don't worry, I will not punish her severely. If it is not for her, I will reward her as a female officer."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Your Highness, then I'm going home?"
The prince raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "It's getting dark now, let's stay in the East Palace for one more day, Ming Er will send you and Bai Shan back home."
Man Bao then turned her head to look out the window. At this moment, the heavy snow was still falling, making the sky and the earth very bright, which did not affect her going home at all.
But looking back at the prince, seeing that he had already picked up the teacup to drink tea, he sighed and left silently.
She knew that they just wanted her to look at the princess and the little grandson.
Before nightfall, the little grandson woke up and had his first meal of milk. The princess was overjoyed to see that he would be able to breastfeed after only two strokes, and felt that the child was very smart.
When the little emperor's grandson was full, Aunt Yu wrapped the child up, took it from the nanny, and placed it beside the princess.
Doctor Zhou Xiao said that when a baby is just born, it needs to be closer to its mother, so that the baby can feel safe and less frightened, so it can grow faster.
The princess didn't know if the child felt safe, but she felt safe looking at the child beside her, so her eyelids became heavier and heavier, but she fell asleep after a while.
She was tortured by labor pains last night, and she didn't sleep much at first, and she was even more tired after a hard day today, so she fell asleep quickly at the moment.
Man Bao looked at it, and then swept the room, and saw that there were all trusted people around the princess, so she went out to the corridor.
Bai Shan was standing on the porch looking at the snow, when he heard the sound of footsteps and turned around, he smiled and said, "It's hard to see such a big snow."
Man Bao nodded. Although the air was a bit cold after the snow, it felt more refreshing, "Your Highness took the needle bag away."
Bai Shan nodded, turned his head and continued to look at the non-stop snow, "I didn't say it before because I was not sure, and the needles that were moved are fine, so I don't want to make a fuss about it. Since the fox's tail was exposed this time, Naturally, you have to catch them, you can only catch a thief from a thousand miles away, there is no reason to guard against a thief in a thousand days."
Man Bao said: "Although I doubt it, it may not be her."
Because Keke said, from this morning to now, Xu Yu has nothing unusual, even if it is known to all the palace that the crown princess gave birth safely, she is nothing unusual.
Maybe there was. Man Bao had just watched a short clip specially intercepted by Ke Ke. She and the other court ladies received the bounty from the East Palace and stood on the porch looking at the sky for about a quarter of an hour.
But no one can tell whether she is in a daze or enjoying the snow.
For example, Man Bao and Bai Shan are standing here watching the snowflakes falling one after another, right now
But Bai Shan was much more decisive than Zhou Man, he said: "She is just a little maid, but she can give you a feeling of inscrutability, I am more inclined to be her, Man Bao, sometimes you have to believe in yourself intuition."
Man Bao didn't speak.
The two stood on the porch blowing the wind for a while, the sky gradually darkened, but the snow seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, she stretched out her hand, and a snowflake fell on her palm, and it didn't melt away, she gently moved it It blew out from the palm of the hand, and then said with a smile: "Look, the snowflakes will fall to the ground, as if the ending has already been predetermined."
Bai Shan also smiled, "It's fine if you can think about it."
Man Bao reached out to catch more snowflakes, and then threw them out. He also stretched out his hand to disrupt the snowflakes that fell into the air, and sighed, "It's just a pity for the roasted venison in the racecourse in the western suburbs."
Bai Shan smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I'll send someone to fetch a piece of venison when I leave the palace tomorrow, and we'll roast it in the garden ourselves."
"OK."
In the side hall not far away, the prince withdrew his gaze from the window and said to Mr. Wu: "Send her to the Punishment Department overnight, and leave her life before she is asked."
Eunuch Wu responded in a low voice, then bowed and retreated.
When Man Bao returned to the ear room where she had cleaned up, Ke Ke told Man Bao, "Xu Yu was arrested."
Ke Ke intercepted that passage and showed it to Man Bao, and she saw Xu Yu being dragged away by two servants with a panicked face, her face was full of fear, "I don't know what mistake the servant made..."
She also saw that Eunuch Wu led people to search Xu Yu's room, but found nothing.
Watching her being dragged all the way to the Punishment Division, Man Bao frowned and said, "Don't stare at her anymore."
Koko didn't want to stare either, he had no interest in exploring the torture system of this world.
Man Bao tossed and turned all night again, and got up the next day to see the little emperor and the princess, and when he confirmed that the mother and son were in good condition, he would leave.
She thought of something, and turned around and said: "Mother, don't use cold water for the child when washing the third child, use warm water, the two Wen women are very experienced, you should give the reward generously, so that they will move faster. "
The Crown Princess didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, but Aunt Yu thought of something, and smiled with Man Bao: "Thank you, Miss Zhou, for reminding, if you don't tell me, we almost forgot about this, they delivered the little grandson, This is a great achievement, and naturally it will be rewarded generously.”
Man Bao was relieved, nodded and left.
The Crown Princess thought of something, and immediately said: "Tomorrow, Xisan, you have to come and see."
Man Bao thought about it, nodded and agreed, and decided to get a longevity lock when he went back, and give it to the little emperor's grandson tomorrow.
The prince did what he said, and he sent Zhou Man and Bai Shan back, and there were many rewards for those who went back together.
This time the crown prince passed through Ming Road and was sent directly by the servants and guards.
Old Zhoutou stood in the yard wearing a fox fur coat and watched people carry things home. He couldn't help rubbing his palms, and wanted to help, but it seemed that he couldn't.
