Many people are destined to have trouble sleeping today. Some are worried, while others are excited.
Gu Ren was holding the news that Yao Wenqi had a lot of people under his control in the palace, and he would be able to hit the target with one strike. He had to find a way to poach all the people under the old man's control.
The Ningguo Mansion was filled with worry, but they couldn't get any information. They went to the Prince's Mansion, but it was still closed.
In the Crown Prince's Mansion, the female official next to the Crown Princess said, "Except for Concubine Ran's courtyard which is quiet, there has been quite a stir in the other courtyards."
Crown Princess, "You all need to keep a close eye on me."
Female officer: "Yes."
The Crown Princess waited for the female official to go out, and pressed her brows tiredly. She was under house arrest for another month. Sealing the mansion did not mean that she was unaware of the news outside. The women in the backyard were still able to stay stable in the first month.
As the days went by, some people started to panic, even Concubine Liu was panicking. What surprised her was that Concubine Ran was able to remain calm.
The Crown Princess let out a long sigh. She was worried about her mother in the palace. The Crown Prince had not been in the mansion for the entire time, and she didn't know what the situation was in the palace. The only thing she could do was to stabilize the Crown Prince's mansion.
In Concubine Ran's courtyard, Ran Yan coaxed her daughter to sleep, then sat there in a daze. Her calmness was pretended. If she were alone, she could take life and death lightly, but she still had her daughter. Thinking carefully about the look of the Crown Princess these days, Ran Yan clenched her palms, and her panic slowly calmed down.
The next day, not long after the Zhou family’s door opened, Song came rushing in.
Yesterday, Linxi left the palace, and the Ningguo Mansion came to inquire about the news.
Xue Han didn't wait for her sister-in-law to ask, and replied: "I don't know anything either. The female official who sent Lin Xi back left without saying a word."
Song's face turned pale when she heard this. Yesterday, Grandpa said that Auntie might have really been poisoned. "Yesterday, Third Uncle handed in his badge to enter the palace."
"Didn't go in?"
Song nodded, "Well, it was too late, so I didn't come to the mansion to inquire about the news."
Xue Han, "We don't know much. We just heard the news from the palace."
"What about Linxi? Look at what I said. How old is Linxi to know?"
Xue Han didn't say anything. Her daughter was very capable and could learn to talk. "Aunt is a lucky person. She will be safe and sound."
Song sighed. The prince was under house arrest now. She didn't know when it would end. Her aunt was poisoned again. She cheered herself up. "The mansion has been busy lately and no one has been sent to see you. How have you been these days?"
Xue Han smiled, "Very good."
It was as if I had returned to the time before I got married. I taught my nieces etiquette every day, talked about some taboos that aristocratic families needed to pay attention to, as well as the preferences of female relatives, etc. Except for thinking about my husband, I was very comfortable at other times.
Hanlin Academy, although Chang Zhi had never entered the palace, no one looked down on him because of the benefits of being related to the royal family.
Yes, Master Liu had never entered the palace, because his sister was the prince’s concubine.
Liu Song thought of his father's instructions and walked to Chang Zhi, "Do you need help?"
Changzhi was like a fish in water when he entered the Hanlin Academy. There were precious books not available outside, and people he could consult at any time. He waved his hand and said, "No, I can do it myself."
Liu Song was calm and did not enter the palace. He continued to do his work as usual. "I want to ask you a few questions."
Changzhi raised his head, thinking of the Queen's poisoning, and the Liu family panicked, "You asked the wrong person, I'm just a nerd."
Even if he knew, he couldn't tell anyone, and what's more, he really knew nothing!
Liu Song smiled and returned to his seat.
Changzhi thinks Liu Song is too smart. He is very similar to Brother Wu, but their growth is different. One entered the Hanlin Academy smoothly, while the other did not have his father's protection. He must have experienced many hardships, so the one who has experienced them is more powerful. Well, Brother Wu Ming is more powerful.
In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren looked at Ning Zhiqi. Ning Zhiqi's growth in these days was obvious to all. There is motivation only when there is crisis. The current Ning Zhiqi no longer needs Zhang Jinghong to lead him.
Ning Zhiqi greeted him and said, "My lord, I am going to lower my rank."
Zhou Shuren raised his hand and said, "I know what you want to ask, but I don't know either."
Ning Zhiqi stood up straight. If it were the past, he would definitely continue to ask questions, but not now. "I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I'll go back to do my job."
Qiu Yan came back at this time, "What about Prince Ning just now?"
Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."
Qiu Yan could guess why Ning Zhiqi came, so he sat down and said, "I just went to the Ministry of Rites to check it out. The entrance to the Ministry of Rites was really busy, with rows of merchants waiting."
Zhou Shuren was happy, "Let Zhang Jinghong keep an eye on the money from the merchant recruitment. We need to bring this money back."
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "I have already instructed them. The scene at the Ministry of Rites is really spectacular. They also brought samples here. They are all good things."
Zhou Shuren, "The Ministry of Rites stole the show this time."
Qiu Yan stroked his beard and said, "The Minister of Rites' mouth is almost stretched behind his ears."
Inside the palace, in the Queen's palace, the Queen was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, with Concubine Qi and Concubine Chen sitting beside her.
Concubine Chen asked with concern, "Does the Queen feel better?"
The queen felt much better when she woke up today, "Yes, I'm fine."
Concubine Qi, "With little Linxi not in the palace, it's really a lot quieter."
The queen also smiled when she thought of her granddaughter. Especially when they were playing cards, her granddaughter was so cute when she picked up the cards in a very serious manner. "If you feel lonely, you can ask the King of Qi and the King of Chu to send their children to the palace."
Concubine Chen waved her hand, "Forget it."
The son has two legitimate sons. The eldest son is in poor health, and the second son is the lifeblood of the daughter-in-law. She has mentioned it before, but the daughter-in-law is pretending to be stupid!
Concubine Qi and her daughter-in-law don't get along. It's all her daughter-in-law's fault that there are few children in her son's house. It hurts her heart just thinking about it.
The queen raised her lips, she really had good taste in choosing her daughter-in-law.
Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi came to inquire about the news. When they saw that the Queen was still weak today, they knew that she was really poisoned. She was still covered with a blanket in such a hot day. A healthy person could not bear it.
The capital was still a theater. Prince Liang came in person to look for Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was still in the original box, still humming a tune.
Prince Liang sat down and got straight to the point, "The queen was poisoned. Was it the Zhang family who did it?"
Zhang Yang understood that although he had talked a lot yesterday, King Liang would not trust him. He needed to come up with something useful. "Yes, the Zhang family did it. They have quite a few secret medicines from the previous dynasty."
Prince Liang: "You are really capable. The palace has been cleaned several times, but there are still people left."
Zhang Yang laughed softly, "No, no, no, back then when the Zhang family ran away, the Yao family helped a lot."
Prince Liang narrowed his eyes, "You mean, the people from Yaohou Mansion? Yao Wenqi is trapped."
Zhang Yang pointed to his head, "How could the Yao family have no escape route? The Zhang family has already contacted Yao Wenqi again, and not just once."
