Shopping is missing
While everyone was looking for this Caimai, this little eunuch Caimai could not be found.
People in the palace were looking for her, and people outside the palace were also looking for her, but the final news they got was that the purchaser had left the harem early in the morning and had not returned to the palace by dusk.
The palace had been searched several times, and people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also sent outside the palace to investigate secretly, but after asking again and again, they only told him to leave the flower and bird market in the morning, and there was no further news.
Everyone thought he had returned to the palace, but in fact he did not. He just disappeared suddenly, as if this person had never existed.
Originally, no one would pay attention to such a small purchasing matter, but now he has become the only key figure in the Concubine Li incident, and he suddenly disappeared. This is really surprising.
It also makes people feel that this matter is not simple and may not just be a matter of beauty.
But the key person was missing, and there was no way to deal with it even if there were more suspicions. The Empress went to the Emperor's study again to report the matter.
She could no longer investigate the matter and had no choice but to present it to the emperor.
Apart from the emperor, Pei Yuanjun was the only one in the imperial study. After paying his respects to the empress, Pei Yuanjun still lazily leaned on the large nanmu chair, looking a bit relaxed and at ease.
The Empress Dowager, however, was inexplicably displeased. Her own son, the Crown Prince, was so reserved in front of the Emperor. Why could a Prince of a county be so presumptuous in front of the Emperor
However, there was too much dissatisfaction and disgust, so the Empress did not dare to show it. After looking at Pei Yuanjun gently, she turned to the Emperor, her face gloomy, and reported to him everything that had happened. As for the focus of the purchase, of course she brought it up.
However, she had searched everywhere inside and outside the palace and couldn't find the item. She was really powerless to do anything.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li plotted against the fourth daughter of the Minister's mansion and had her banished to the cold palace. She has gone mad now and got her retribution. For now, let her stay in the cold palace and take good care of herself!" The Queen Mother announced the treatment of Concubine Li. A crazy beauty with a disfigured face, the Queen Mother felt that there was no need to care.
What she cared about was never a little beauty, but that bitch Concubine He.
The emperor nodded sullenly.
"As for the Qu Mansion, I think we should send a gift to calm them down. Things like this always happen suddenly, and Fourth Miss Qu looks so fragile. I'm afraid she must have been frightened." The Queen suggested softly.
The emperor nodded this time.
"It's about that cat... I can't think of a solution for the moment. Something like this has happened. Even if the cat belongs to Sister He, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate."
The Queen Mother looked up at the Emperor's expression and brought up the most important point.
She was the one who got so upset by this matter, why is it that that bitch is fine
The emperor was silent for a while and did not speak directly. After a long while, he said unhappily: "It's just a cat. What can it know? Concubine Li has bad intentions and deliberately borrowed the cat from Concubine He to harm the fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion. She should be punished, but forget about the cat."
Are you just going to let the cat matter go
The Queen could hardly believe her
Ears, although she knew that this matter would not involve much of Concubine He, but now even the cat was fine, which really made her extremely angry.
"Your Majesty, the cat scratched Concubine Li, how can we just do nothing about it?" The Queen argued.
"Okay, go down. It's just a pet, just for fun. Concubine Li has brought this upon herself. She can't blame anyone else, not even the cat. Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. Thank you, Queen!" The Emperor waved his hand impatiently, motioning the Queen to go down.
The Queen Mother was very angry, but after looking at the Emperor's expression, she knew that she couldn't act impulsively at this time. She gritted her teeth secretly, bowed to the Emperor, and turned around to leave in a dignified and graceful manner.
She is the Empress of the Central Palace, she cannot lose her composure or manners!
She will investigate this matter secretly. Doesn't she believe that this matter has nothing to do with that bitch Concubine He
After the Empress left, the Emperor's brows were still furrowed. He could no longer read the case file in his hand. He felt extremely irritated and looked at Pei Yuanjun on the side: "What do you think, Prince Yun?"
"That cat should be dealt with!" Pei Yuanjun said nonchalantly, with a hint of deepness in his eyes, "Why keep a cat that catches people? When I entered the palace before, I saw it. Someone threw it into the pond, but it didn't die and caused such a big disaster!"
"You!" The emperor smiled bitterly. He naturally knew that Pei Yuanjun didn't like the cat, and he was helpless. "After all, this cat is just a tool. The most important thing is the human heart."
"No matter how people's hearts are, it's useless without tools. This cat doesn't look good. It's said to be docile, but it's just an appearance. Next time I see it, I will throw it away." Pei Yuanjun said nonchalantly.
"That's Concubine He's favorite." The emperor scolded.
"It's just a fake. I heard that before..." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
The emperor showed a trace of pain on his face, and waved his hand to stop Pei Yuanjun from speaking, "Okay, let's stop here!"
"Your Majesty, how can we stop here? Something almost happened to my people!" Pei Yuanjun said seriously.
Seeing him act like this, the emperor felt a toothache and reached out to press the corner of his mouth; "I will ask the Empress to give a gift to Miss Qu Si to calm her down."
"That's all?" Pei Yuanjun said unsatisfiedly.
"What else do you want?" The emperor looked at him and felt his teeth hurt even more.
"The harem needs to renovate the palace. Why don't I ask for this job and let Minister Qu fully cooperate with me? What do you think?" Pei Yuanjun asked with an indifferent smile, raising his handsome face.
"You want the Ministry of Works to repair the palace?" the emperor asked in surprise.
"Originally, there was nothing to worry about. The West Prison has been peaceful recently, and no one has come to complain. I felt that there was nothing to do, so I wanted to ask for a job. I happened to hear about the renovation of the palace." Pei Yuanjun smiled slightly, his handsome eyes slightly raised, and his brows deep.
"Good, good, that's great!" The emperor's frown relaxed a little. "I wanted to find you originally, but I was afraid that you would have too much to do. In this case, let the Ministry of Works cooperate with you on this matter, and we will repair everything according to your ideas!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Yuanjun stood up, bowed deeply to the emperor, then straightened up and said, "It's getting late, I'll take my leave!"
Looking at his appearance, he just mentioned Lady Li
When it comes to the case, saying a word for the young lady of the Qu Mansion is just a gesture to show the situation.
The emperor felt more relieved.
After Pei Yuanjun left the imperial study, he went straight out of the palace and got on the carriage guarding the palace gate. After getting on the large carriage, he leaned back lazily with his eyes slightly closed: "Where is the person?"
"He's been taken away!" Ji Hai replied hastily, knowing who his master was asking about.
"Who else is investigating this matter?" Pei Yuanjun asked meaningfully.
"Inside the palace are the Empress and Imperial Concubine He, and there are also many people outside the palace, including Minister Qu." Ji Hai picked out a few important ones. As for the list of all the people who had secretly reached out for help, he had someone prepare it in the mansion.
Who would have thought that there were so many people behind a small purchase
But no one is as fast as their own master...
"Miss, the third young lady is losing her temper and smashing things!" Nanny Miao hurried in to report.
"Are you angry now?" Qu Moying looked up and said meaningfully.
"Yes, she got quite angry. I heard that the Madam sent my Madam to help her pack up, so she deliberately lost her temper and made a big fuss, not caring that my Madam was the most useful person around the Madam." said Madam Miao.
Many people in the mansion now know about this, but she doesn't know what happened specifically. After asking several people, they all said they didn't know. They only said that my nanny brought people over to help the third young lady pack up her things.
Is she going to be kicked out? Nanny Miao was still very happy. If the third young lady was kicked out of the house, her young lady would be less in danger. It was really a good thing to think about it.
"Is the Third Young Miss going to be driven away?" Yu Chun's eyes lit up, and she had obviously thought of this reason. The people around Qu Moying were deeply wary of Qu Qiuyan, the Third Young Miss.
What happened in the palace today was the plot of Miss Qu San. Upon closer thought, it was so vicious that it was frightening. It was even connected to the palace. Everyone around Qu Moying was nervous, fearing that Qu Qiuyan was too powerful.
Fortunately, I escaped this incident once, but it doesn't mean I can escape it twice. The best thing is that Miss Qu San is driven away and she will never see her own lady again.
"I will leave!" Qu Moying stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of Qu Qiuyan's Furong Pavilion.
My adoptive father couldn't and didn't dare to cover up this matter. He had to pass on all the trouble to others. In fact, it wasn't just Qu Qiuyan, but also myself. However, my adoptive father probably thought more about me, so he didn't take any action for the time being. After all, my affairs were still in the open, and there was Pei Yuanjun behind me.
Compared to Pei Yusheng's ambiguity, Pei Yuanjun has always been arrogant and strong. He had slapped Qu Zhizhen in the face before, making him dare not act rashly.
"Miss, should we..." Nanny Miao suggested.
Qu Moying shook her head and interrupted Aunt Miao: "We don't have to do anything, just watch."
Even if Qu Qiuyan hadn't exposed this matter in the palace, she had already exposed it in the mansion. Did she want to cry and make Qu Zhizhen back off? That was impossible!
With Qu Zhizhen's personality, the first thing he wanted to do was to push the source of the trouble away!
The corners of her lips curled up silently. Are you crying? She's crying now. There will be many more times to cry in the future. Her adopted father hasn't come back yet, so it's obvious that he's busy with more than one or two things...
