Under the leadership of the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, the concubines' palaces were searched one by one. In the end, only Concubine Xian's Hui'an Palace and Concubine De's Jinghong Palace were left unsearched.

"Father-in-law, where should we go next?" a steward asked.

"Let's go to Hui'an Palace." Concubine De is favored and has the prince and princess by her side, so it's better not to offend her.

As for Concubine Xian, she is a virtuous person, so she probably won’t argue with palace people like them.

When they arrived at Hui'an Palace, they found that the palace door was closed. The eunuch's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Come, knock on our door."

Concubine Xian sat in the main seat, placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Huh, let's search my palace first. If you make it clear that you don't take me seriously, you will say that I am unwell." ,need to have a rest."

After receiving the palace servant's reply, the eunuch still had a smile on his face, nodded, and left with the others.

Concubine Xian looked at Liu Meiren who was sitting beside her and ordered: "Go and see what's going on. If you have any news, report it to me."

Liu Meiren obeyed obediently and led the palace attendants away. On the way to Jinghong Palace, she looked at the blooming chrysanthemums beside the palace road and the small purple flowers dotted beside them. She sighed. She thought that under the guidance of the wise Concubine Xian The subordinates would have a better life, but unexpectedly they ended up in a wolf's den.

Who would have thought that Concubine Xian was so temperamental in private, that she would hit or scold the people in the palace, and even she would be bossed around, just like her maid.

It's easier to get on the pirate ship than to get off the pirate ship. Now she can only hold on to Concubine Xian's thigh tightly in order to plan for the future.

If Concubine Xian can ascend to the throne, as a person close to Concubine Xian, my worth will naturally increase.

As for Empress Dowager De, she could only say sorry. If someone doesn't do it for herself, heaven and earth will punish her.

The gate of Jinghong Palace was wide open. After learning about the great eunuch's intention, Mingchun cooperated very well and summoned all the eunuchs and maids of Jinghong Palace to facilitate the search by other palace people.

"Thank you Auntie Mingchun for your cooperation. Please take our family to pay your respects to Concubine De."

Mingchun: "You don't need to be polite, father-in-law. You are also doing things under orders. I understand."

In the side hall, Concubine De was playing with her son.

"See Empress Dowager De."

Concubine De smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite, father-in-law."

Mingchun immediately stepped forward to help the man up, and the smile on the eunuch's face deepened, revealing more information.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of justice. The Queen Mother was furious when this thing appeared in the palace. She ordered her servants to conduct a thorough search of the whole palace. Only the Jinghong Palace and the Hui'an Palace of the Concubine Xian were left. I didn't want to disturb you, so I went to Hui'an first. Palace, it turns out that the queen is unwell, so I have no choice but to come to your place."

In just a few words, the great eunuch pointed out the status of Concubine De and Concubine Xian in the harem, and also stated that he was more inclined to Concubine De among the two concubines. It was because Concubine Xian was rejected that he had no choice but to come here. Jinghong Hall.

"I understand my father-in-law's good intentions. This kind of thing happened in the palace and made the Queen Mother furious. Everyone should cooperate with the investigation."

"Ming Chun, let the palace people cooperate well. My father-in-law is also following orders. No one can go beyond the limits."

"The slaves obey the order."

After greeting Concubine De, the two came to the front yard. The first wave of searches had ended. A nun shook her head at the eunuch in a vague way.

He exhaled and slowly let go of his worries. The status of Empress Dowager De in the future was immeasurable, and he was really afraid of finding something.

Seeing that all aspects of the search were completed, the eunuch had a big smile on his face and was about to take the people away.

In front of the palace attendants in Jinghong Hall stood a palace maid named Sasao. An anxious look flashed across her face, and her eyes frequently looked in the direction of the rockery.

Standing on the side of the crowd is a small rockery, which was donated by Du Guogong. This is a lighted rockery for bathing in Buddhist scriptures day and night in the temple. Concubine De likes it very much.

The big eunuch is an old man and has noticed the abnormality of the little palace maid. Although he does not want to offend Concubine De, he has not forgotten that his master is the Queen Mother.

His face turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "Come here, capture that bitch."

"You brave bitch, your eyes are wandering, your face is pale, and you have a suspicious look on your face. You are hiding something!"

The little palace maid originally planned to use her suspicious behavior to guide the searchers to search the rockery, but she did not expect that she would be directly taken out and scolded.

The great eunuch who had been at the Queen Mother's side for many years had countless lives on his hands. The evil aura and coercion on his body made the little palace lady turn pale and her whole body trembled.

"Hmph, you are a blind thing. It seems that our family is not serious. You don't know that the sky is too high to open your mouth!"

A palace man behind him stepped forward and slapped the little palace lady several times. She was knocked to the ground, her head was buzzing, she couldn't remember how the plan was going, and she only wanted to protect herself.

He screamed with all his strength: "Rockery, there is something strange under the rockery."

After saying this, she lay on the ground and kept panting, as if she had used all her strength to say these words.

"You guys go over and dig."

After drinking, he secretly looked at Mingchun's expression. He expected to see Mingchun's panicked expression, but to his surprise, Mingchun looked like he was watching a good show.

Hey, something moved in his mind, it seemed that Concubine De had other plans.

After a while, a eunuch came up with a small cloth bag.

"Father-in-law, we dug it out."

The little palace maid's eyes flashed with joy, her master's instructions were completed, and she would soon be transferred to reunite with her lover.

Mingchun looked at the expression on the little palace maid's face and felt extremely hateful. This person wanted to kill everyone in Jinghong Hall for his own selfish desires!

The cloth bag in the eunuch's hand was dusty and covered with mud, and there was a bulge in the middle of the bag, as if it contained something extremely secret.

The palace people all lowered their heads, holding their breath and not daring to make too many moves. The eunuch pondered for a while and finally decided to open the cloth bag.

Rao was always calm, but his hands were shaking slightly at this time, and he pulled open the cloth bag with all his strength.

When he saw clearly what was inside, he couldn't help but let out a short exclamation and quickly retracted his hand.

In the eyes of the palace people, this move seemed to prove that the items in the cloth bag were the filth of the previous dynasty. Seeing this, Liu Meiren raised a smile on her lips and rushed back to report the news happily.

Mingchun noticed the figure outside the palace and signaled Mingxia to go back and send a message to Concubine De.

She stepped forward to support the eunuch and said slowly, "Father-in-law, are you okay? But is there something strange about this cloth bag?"

As a person who saw the package with his own eyes, how could he not know what was inside? Seeing the meaningful smile on Mingchun's face and the meaningful words, he followed the words:

"No, nothing unusual."
