"Master, what should we do now?" An Dong asked with a smile. They had been suppressed by the Liu Mansion for so long, and finally they had a day to hold their heads high. Several people around Qu Moying felt relieved.
In the past, this Madam Liu had repeatedly harmed her young lady and had a deep hatred for her.
Now, finally, this Madam Liu is trapped in a cage...
Qu Moying shook his hand: "An Dong, just keep watching. If this Madam Liu was so easy to deal with, she wouldn't have remained unnoticed for so many years."
An Dong's heart moved: "Master, are you saying that she still has a way?"
"There must be one. She will be innocent if we investigate further." Qu Moying sneered.
"What should we do? Were we to let her escape again?" Yu Chun asked anxiously. They had finally managed to involve Madam Liu in this, how could they let her get away like this again
"She can escape, after all, she is the Crown Princess' biological mother. There is no direct evidence, and the maid is already dead, so there is no evidence. But Liu Mansion cannot escape, and Minister Liu cannot escape." Qu Moying said.
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes. She didn't mind letting this Madam Liu experience the same way her mother died. Even if it couldn't be exactly the same, at least she had to let this Madam Liu experience being deserted by her friends and relatives and being rejected by her husband.
"Master, don't worry. I will keep a close eye on the Liu Mansion." An Dong nodded. He understood the meaning of Qu Moying's words.
"Madam Liu is very important and has been very important for so many years. Now that people from the Northern Frontier have arrived, we will never let her get into any real trouble at this time." Qu Moying reminded again.
"I understand." An Dong has served Qu Moying for so long. Although he is not always serving Qu Moying now, he knows his young lady's temperament best. After a few words, he has already understood her.
The master asked me to keep an eye on the Liu Mansion, so I really just kept an eye on it. This time, the people from the Ying Palace caught Madam Liu off guard, so the next thing will be much easier...
After spending so much effort, I finally caught a big fish. The master will not let this big fish go so easily...
Minister Liu hurried forward, and the people from Jingzhao Yin had already arrived.
"Lord Liu." The official rank of Jingzhao Yin was not as high as that of Shilang. When he saw Shilang Liu coming, he hurriedly saluted.
Seeing that Jingzhao Yin was followed by two rows of aggressive yamen runners, Minister Liu's face looked unhappy: "What does this mean?"
"I am under the order of the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of the Minister's Residence. I beg Lord Liu to forgive me." Jingzhao Yin said with a smile.
"I don't know what I have done wrong. Why did the emperor give such an order?" Minister Liu asked with a gloomy face.
"This matter... I really don't know. If Minister Liu wants to know more, he can come to the palace to ask for an audience." Jingzhao Yin coughed softly and said with a smile.
He didn't want to come either. Behind Minister Liu was the Prince's Eastern Palace. How could he want to make things difficult for the Eastern Palace
But now he had to come. The King of England sent the Emperor's decree. He dared not say anything and immediately brought his men here.
Minister Liu choked. How could he dare to go directly to the Emperor to question him about this matter
"Minister Liu, there are too many spies from the Northern Frontier in your mansion. The emperor suspects that there are other people behind the scenes. Everyone in your mansion must be investigated." Jingzhao Yin smiled when he saw Minister Liu didn't say anything.
The words sounded polite, but in fact, there was no mercy shown to Minister Liu at all.
Minister Liu was so angry that he was fuming. Ever since he got married, no one had ever dared to say such things in front of him, let alone a small Jingzhao Yin. Even the people from the Ministry of Justice had to speak in a nice tone when talking to Minister Liu.
But he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order.
He is no longer the Minister of Works, and is no longer the youngest and most promising Minister of Works.
"How long will the investigation take?" Minister Liu asked in a deep voice, gritting his teeth.
"It should be within these few days. I hope Minister Liu will forgive me for this matter. I am also under the emperor's order and have to do it." The Jingzhao Yin looked like a smug villain and bowed to Minister Liu.
Minister Liu was so angry that his face turned blue. "This is my inner courtyard, and there are women in my house. When you investigate this matter, please do not disturb the women in my house."
"Don't worry, Lord Minister, I will definitely give you instructions." Jingzhao Yin nodded and smiled.
Seeing that there was nothing more to be said, Minister Liu shook his sleeves angrily and turned to walk towards the inner courtyard.
After watching Minister Liu leave, the Jingzhao Yin ordered the bailiffs he brought to gather all the servants in the Liu Mansion. He wanted to interrogate them one by one.
The affairs of the Northern Frontier have always been of top priority. Originally, such matters had nothing to do with the Liu Mansion, but now the Liu Mansion makes people feel very suspicious.
Time and time again, if the first time was an accident, what about what happens next
It is said that the maid who was hit and killed had been with Madam Liu for a long time. She was Madam Liu's confidant after she came to the Liu Mansion. She had been with Madam Liu for so many years and could be said to be devoted to her. Was it really that what such a maid did had nothing to do with Madam Liu? And where did those weak medicine powders come from
Does a maid really have such great ability to get the medicinal powder from Northern Xinjiang
Thinking about it this way, the whole Liu Mansion incident is really a big deal.
The Liu family is also the prince's in-laws' family. This is something that needs to be considered again...
Jingzhao Yin was in a dilemma. If possible, he really would not care about such matters. The King of England was not easy to deal with, but the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was easy to deal with
If possible, he wanted to push this matter to the Ministry of Justice, or the Dali Temple, or the Western Prison. Any of these government offices would be more capable than his own.
But now that this matter has come to him, he has no choice but to take it.
With a helpless sigh, Jingzhao Yin didn't know which direction this matter would develop in, and how it would end! He didn't want to think about anything now, so he just did it according to official business!
Jingzhao Yin handled the matter impartially and ordered people to investigate the entire Liu Mansion, intending to eliminate all the people from Northern Frontier hiding in the Liu Mansion. No matter how you look at it, the Liu Mansion is related to Northern Frontier. Jingzhao Yin just hopes that this matter has nothing to do with Minister Liu, otherwise... something serious is going to happen...
Minister Liu walked into Madam Liu's room with a gloomy face. He waved his hand and the servants in the room retreated obediently.
"Have the people from Jingzhao Yin come? Have you gone to ask? At the very least, you are now the Minister of Works and the biological father of the Crown Princess. Don't they want to give you face?" Madam Liu sat in front of the window with a frown. Her legs have almost recovered in recent days. She can get up and sometimes walk a short distance. She looks no different from a normal person.
Minister Liu sat down on a wide chair, looked at Madam Liu coldly, and did not respond.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Mrs. Liu asked, looking up.
The couple hadn't seen each other for a while, and felt even more like strangers when they met again.
"Qi Xiejiao... who the hell are you?" Minister Liu said coldly, which was not a pleasant thing to say.
"What do you mean by that, sir?" Madam Liu was furious, looking at Minister Liu coldly, "Don't you know who I am? Don't you know why you married me in the first place?"
Minister Liu was so angry that he laughed: "I really don't know what you are. How did you marry me in the first place? Don't you know? If it wasn't the marriage granted by the Emperor, how could I marry you! The eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion has a distinguished status, how can a scholar like us who just passed the exam dream of it."
"It's good that you know!" Madam Liu raised her head proudly.
"So, why did you marry me?" Minister Liu felt that he had a pretty good temper and he could still speak calmly even at this time.
"Don't you know why I should marry you?" Mrs. Liu looked at him deeply and asked back.
"I really don't know. Can you please tell me, Madam?" Minister Liu said coldly, staring at Madam Liu with a gloomy look. "Don't tell me that you want to marry me because you don't like Xiao Yue. You are not a fool, and neither am I."
Minister Liu is certainly not a fool. Not only is he not a fool, but he is also very smart. Otherwise, he would not have been the youngest Shangshu and directly appointed as the prime minister that day.
If it weren't for his momentary confusion, Minister Liu would not only be the Minister now.
"I just don't like Xiao Yue. We were enemies in our past lives... I hate her the moment I see her. We were enemies in our past lives... I'm happy to see her unhappy." Madam Liu sneered and said provocatively, "Could it be that the Minister really can't forget her? It's a pity that she is dead now, and she died giving birth to another man. It's too late for the Minister to regret it now."
Minister Liu slammed his hand on the table and stood up suddenly: "Qi Xiejiao, you don't think there's really nothing we can do to you, do you? You are no longer the daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion, but an abandoned woman who has been left out in the cold. Do you still want to make trouble?"
Madam Liu laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She patted the corner of the table in front of her and said, "Mr. Minister, you don't really think so, do you? I hurt you. Isn't he your childhood sweetheart? This childhood sweetheart secretly gave birth to a daughter and a son for you. Could it be that your childhood sweetheart is not as good as Xiao Yue? You just realized now that Xiao Yuefa is the one you love? Minister Qu, you are really interesting!"
The veins on Minister Liu's forehead bulged. He had originally liked his concubine and had wanted to bring her into the mansion, but so many things happened after that, even his official career was cut short. How could he not feel resentment in his heart? What's more, now that she had entered the Liu Mansion, the little son she gave birth to was dull and looked a little stupid.
He regretted everything. He regretted taking this woman into the house, regretted being involved with this woman, and regretted why he did not marry Yue. If it was Yue, Qi Xiejiao would not be so strong, and he would have enjoyed the blessing of having seven wives long ago, and would not have ended up in this situation now.
"Shut up!" Minister Liu said through clenched teeth, disgust and hatred in his eyes.
"What? You can't tell? Minister Liu... Your Excellency Minister... You are such a failure. It's only after so many years that you remembered the good things about the Yue family. It's a pity that you married me, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi... Who the Yue family is? How dare they compete with me! There are always things that I don't want. There is no way I can't get them." Madam Liu stopped laughing and looked at Minister Liu coldly.
The disgust and hatred in Minister Liu's eyes stung her.
