Leaving Fengyang Pavilion in a hurry, Jiang Dejia's last words could not help but echo in Wen Qingzhu's mind.
"Wei Ziying and Wei Yu are naturally fine, but there are many other people in the Wei family who are gradually entering and holding important positions in various places, and many of them are not real descendants of the Wei family!"
Arriving at Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu stood in the study, looking at the folds on the table, feeling very excited.
She trusts the Wei family so much that it is okay to ignore the Wei family, but it may not be okay for people who interact with the Wei family!
"Green pottery."
"I am here."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and asked, "Wei Yu was injured and recuperating at home. Who is in charge of the Forbidden Army now?"
Lu Tao thought for a moment and said, "It's Mr. Wei Feng's cousin Zhu Zirui."
After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu ordered: "Bring him to see me."
Half an hour later, Lu Tao led people to Qianyuan Palace.
"I am here to meet you, Princess!"
Hearing the voice, Wen Qingzhu raised his head and saw a young man with dark skin and firm eyes.
Wearing the armor of the Forbidden Army, his back was straight.
Wen Qingzhu showed a kind smile: "After Wei Yu left, did you have any discomfort here? Do you want me to send someone to help you?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I can do my job well." Zhu Zirui rejected Wen Qingzhu directly, his words full of confidence.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "That's good, the emperor is not in the palace. Yesterday there was a wave of ups and downs. Today, Dean Kang is begging me, but I don't know whether they will give up. I don't know. What do you want from your side?" Be careful in everything you do!”
"I understand!" Zhu Zirui was wondering why he was called over at this time.
It sounded like a warning, but the princess's tone was very good.
After briefly asking Zhu Zirui about his daily life, Wen Qingzhu asked him to leave when there were no other questions.
After he left, Wen Qingzhu fell into deep thought.
Judging from the previous contact, there was nothing wrong with Zhu Zirui.
But since Jiang Dejia reminded her, she must have discovered that the problem lies with the Wei family.
Wen Qingzhu started Beidou to monitor Zhu Zirui, at least until Jiang Yuanhan came back.
Late at night, Wen Qingzhu lay still and found it difficult to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes, and Lu Tao outside immediately woke up and asked: "Princess, are you going to get up at night?"
"No, where is Xi'er?" Wen Qingzhu stood up, went to the clothes rack, took some clothes and started to put them on.
Outside, Lu Tao lit a lamp and came in to help her get dressed.
At the same time, he asked: "Why does the princess think of Xi'er?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.
He made an excuse and said: "She hasn't gone to see Jin Yuanbao these days. I feel a little uneasy. She is different from you and Jasmine. Her thinking is very simple. If some things are not explained clearly, she may I’ve been holding it in my heart.”
After putting on his clothes, Lu Tao put on a lantern and went out to look for Xi'er with Wen Qingzhu.
But when they arrived at Xi'er's room, they found that there was no one in the room.
The two looked at each other and immediately went to ask the maid on night watch.
This movement woke up Jasmine, and she hurried over. After learning what Wen Qingzhu meant, she whispered: "Xi'er has gone to Miss He's place."
"He Xianxian?" Wen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed.
Soon they went to the side hall of He Xianxian's courtyard and found that Xi'er was not there.
He Xianxian was called out of the bedroom by the palace servants.
Seeing that it was Wen Qingzhu, the initial panic dissipated.
After hearing the purpose of her visit, he immediately explained with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, Xi'er just went to Lei's house. She didn't want the princess to worry, so I covered it up for her."
These words made Wen Qingzhu's face darken, he stepped forward and slapped her face crookedly.
He said coldly: "My people need you to cover up? What does she want to do, will I agree?"
The maid who was serving He Xianxian immediately pulled He Xianxian to kneel down and beg for mercy: "Princess, forgive me! Miss is just kind-hearted. She saw Sister Xi'er frowning all day long, so she found a way to help her! Miss really didn't have any intention to frame her. What does Sister Xi’er mean!”
Wen Qingzhu ignored it at all, turned his back and ordered: "From today on, He Xianxian is not allowed to leave here! No one is allowed to come near here!"
"Yes!" The palace servant here answered tremblingly.
As Wen Qingzhu walked away, Lu Tao ordered the aunt in charge here: "Everyone will receive twenty big boards. Manager Bai will come back tomorrow and replace everyone here, including you, aunt!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The steward aunt knelt down quickly.
Lu Tao then followed Wen Qingzhu, and everyone dared to raise their heads when they heard their footsteps walking away.
The steward's aunt turned blue with anger: "Here comes someone! Ask steward Bai to come over!"
Soon Wen Qingzhu sent someone out to ask Xi'er to come back.
But the news from the Lei family is that Xi'er did not go to the Lei family!
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the main hall of Huaqing Palace with a gloomy look on his face, while Jasmine went to the prison to inquire about information.
Bai Di hurried over after receiving the order.
"Inspect the entire palace immediately! I want to find out who is playing tricks under my nose!"
Wen Qingzhu slapped the table hard, and the sound echoed through the main hall of Huaqing Palace.
Bai Di took the order and retreated, immediately mobilizing everyone.
There was a moment of panic in the palace, and everyone who had come into contact with Xi'er was being interrogated!
On the Imperial Guard side.
Zhu Zirui got a report from his subordinates and wondered: Is Xi'er really missing? Why didn't I see the princess dispatching people from their imperial army
While he was meditating, a middle-aged captain came over and couldn't help asking: "What are you worried about, sir? Isn't the palace okay now?"
"Something happened. It seems that Miss Xi'er disappeared, and the princess was furious! I heard that she even changed all the people in Miss He's yard! I don't know what it is."
Zhu Zirui shook his head and then looked at the visitor: "Why is Uncle Zhao free to come here? Have all the matters at the east gate been settled?"
"Don't worry, sir. I've taken care of everything. As long as Manager Bai approves." The man named Uncle Zhao smiled reluctantly.
Hearing this, Zhu Zirui's expression turned ugly: "What on earth did the princess think! A woman like Bai Di is actually in charge of Sigongtai!"
Uncle Zhao's heart moved slightly, and he said with a pretentious look on his face: "The princess is also a woman, so she naturally values women. It's just that Bai Di is in charge of the palace. Originally, it was our forbidden army's job to communicate with the courtiers and messengers outside. Unexpectedly, Bai Di snatched it away after he took office. This is the only lucrative job left for the brothers."
"No! We can't go on like this! Uncle Zhao is right! How can we let the brothers have no luck at all! This is the palace!" Zhu Zirui was provoked and stood up in anger.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Uncle Zhao quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Sir, please don't be impulsive! You are only the deputy commander, and the orthodox leader is Mr. Wei Yu."
"After all, Wei Yu is still my cousin! He must be of the same mind as me!" Zhu Zirui didn't care.
However, Uncle Zhao understood that Wei Yu was sensible and quickly stopped him: "Master Zhu! Master Wei originally didn't like the close contact between the imperial army and the court messengers. He must be on the side of the princess!"
"This is the same, how could the princess do this!" Zhu Zirui thought about what happened in the past few days, and his heart became more and more unfair.
He had not come to the Imperial Army before, so when he went to the Wei family, he stayed with his aunt for a while.
My aunt doesn't like the princess very much either.
The emperor and Linlin's cousin were obviously meant for each other, but it was just because the princess's biological brother kept pestering Linlin that they delayed it again and again.
Now that Linlin is living in Qingning Palace, Wen Mingxuan actually dares to visit Linlin often!
It seemed that he had to find a chance to talk to Linlin.
Seeing Zhu Zirui's frown getting deeper and deeper, Uncle Zhao stepped back.
The weather was slightly cool, and Wen Qingzhu didn't sleep all night.
Bai Di finally found the source of the matter.
At the same time, Jasmine also brought Xi'er back from Shuntian Mansion.
Also coming with him was Yin Jinlong of Shuntian Prefecture.
"Princess, have mercy on me!" Xi'er knew she was at fault, so she knelt down and begged for mercy when she came in.
Wen Qingzhu was angry and didn't want to pay attention to her for the time being. He turned to look at Jin Long: "Why are you here, Mr. Jin? Is it Xi'er who is causing you trouble?"
"Don't worry, Princess. Miss Xi'er is just asking about Yuan Bao." Jin Long explained immediately, fearing that Wen Qingzhu would misunderstand.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Xi'er who was kneeling and felt a little resentful in his heart.
But in the final analysis, Xi'er was still being exploited, and even He Xianxian was a part of being exploited.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jin, I will handle the matters here." Wen Qingzhu was still very polite to Jin Long.
But this time Jin Long came here for a purpose.
He raised his hand and said: "Princess, I suggest that Wan Ze be transferred from the household department. If he continues like this, He Zhuo will only be implicated."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why did Mr. Jin say this?"
Jin Long told the truth: "It's not just me, Lord Lei Xiao, Prime Minister Pei Yu, they all know it well. They just want to see if Wanze has really committed a serious crime, how will the princess handle it?"
"Of course it will be handled according to the law." Wen Qingzhu replied calmly.
Jin Long was confused: "But isn't Wanze the husband of the princess's sister? If something happens to him, the princess's sister-"
Wen Qingzhu interrupted him: "What does his accident have to do with Qingmei? With me here, who dares to embarrass Qingmei?"
Jin Long suddenly remembered something. He accidentally met Wan Hongyu in Baiwei Tower.
At that time, he was coming out of the private room, and the door was ajar.
At that time, he accidentally glanced and saw someone else in the house.
She was a woman with her hair tied up. From the side, she looked very similar to Wen Qingzhu.
Later, he met Wen Qingmei at the banquet and saw at a glance that she was the woman who was in the private room that day.
Jin Long raised his eyes to meet Wen Qingzhu's and suddenly understood what she meant.
He immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm talking too much."
"Don't worry, Master Jin. Wan Ze is still useful to me. He Zhuan is very interesting."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Long was a smart man who had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he understood it as soon as he heard it.
Wen Qingzhu hinted that something was wrong with He Zuo.
He immediately took a deep breath: "Wei Chen will resign now."
After he left, Wen Qingzhu looked at Xi'er but didn't ask any questions.
Bai Di, who was waiting outside the door, came in at Lu Tao's signal.
After saluting, he began to talk about the cause and effect: "There was a palace maid next to He Xianxian and the palace maid next to Empress Pei Bin. They used to work together in the Shangyi Bureau, and they had a good relationship. Later, because of the issue of the allocation of palace maids, the two had a dispute and had no contact. But the servant has already It was found out that the two of them have been very close recently, and the reason why He Xianxian helped Xi'er was because he got a hint from the palace maid."
After hearing this, Xi'er's face turned pale.
Hearing this, she still didn't understand that Pei Bin was the one who asked her to find a way to save Jin Yuanbao without telling her master.
She cried immediately: "I'm sorry, Princess, I'm so stupid. I really didn't expect Pei Bin's people to have a relationship with Miss He's people."
Wen Qingzhu stood up and went down, helping Xi'er up: "You thought so deeply, not to mention that even Jasmine didn't notice it. It's normal for someone to lead you by the nose. But if you are really worried about Jin Yuanbao, just tell me directly. Besides, I will lock him up." Get up to protect him."
Xi'er looked at her blankly, her face full of doubts.
Wen Qingzhu turned to Jasmine and said, "Explain to Xi'er that I have to go see our Empress Pei Bin."
