After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Concubine Xue nodded slightly, "I have seen them many years ago, and I can't remember the details. Later, I... stayed in Yingxue Palace all year round, rarely attended banquets, and saw very few people. ”

"Then did my daughter's father and mother often come to the palace later?" Chu Huanyan asked.

Seeing Concubine Xue looking towards her, Chu Huanyan smiled calmly and added.

"I heard from my younger sister that for a period of time, her parents often visited the palace. She always waited at home for her parents to bring her gifts, but she rarely waited. She was always worried in her heart. Later, she even talked about it with her a lot. times, but my daughter was not at home at that time, so she has no memory of this."

Although Concubine Xue has mostly stayed in Yingxue Palace since that incident, Queen Wei is her sister, and she is also the Queen of the Middle Palace. She always has to meet and greet her more or less on weekdays. If her mother-in-law is If there was contact with Queen Qinhe, Concubine Xue might be able to remember something.

Concubine Xue thought seriously, "When you said this, I remembered that although I did not attend the banquet and had never met the Marquis of Ning'an. However, I met your mother several times in my sister's Fengyi Palace. ."

"The Empress?" Chu Huanyan pretended to be surprised, "So, my mother may have been invited to the palace during that time. However, I have never heard of my mother having a good relationship with the Queen. "

"Perhaps something happened, but I didn't ask any questions at that time." Concubine Xue shook her head and said, "I know very little about the affairs in the harem. As for your mother, I'm even less familiar with it, so I can't communicate with you." Say more."

"My daughter has distracted me. I came here to ask my mother for dance skills, but I just thought of my father and mother, and I felt a little nostalgic for a moment."

Chu Huanyan paused for a moment, then brought the topic back to dancing without asking any more questions.

More than half an hour later, Chu Huanyan left Yingxue Palace.

Walking on the palace road, she was thinking rapidly.

As far as she knew, there had never been any interaction between her mother and the Queen. Apart from palace banquets and other occasions where everyone gathered together, she had never heard of her mother going to the palace alone to meet the Queen.

Queen Wei concealed the jade pendant, and if she had indeed summoned her mother many times before her parents' accident, then Queen Wei's suspicion would be even greater.

Could it be said that it is really related to Queen Wei?

Chu Huanyan had a lot of thoughts in her mind. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had reached the Royal Garden.

Thinking of Xiao Jinzhi's words, she looked around, but she didn't see the other party's figure.

Perhaps he was impatient to wait and had already left.

Chu Huanyan muttered to herself that she didn't plan to continue looking, but as soon as she reached the corner, she turned around and bumped into Xiao Jinzhi.

The other party was leaning on a rockery and looking at her with a smile.

Chu Huanyan's footsteps suddenly stopped, "Your Highness is hiding here to scare people?"

"Gu Ming is here to wait for you seriously." Xiao Jinzhi said leisurely, and then looked at Chu Huanyan's expression, "Ms. Chu doesn't think Gu has left, right?"

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness has many things to do every day, so it is natural for him to leave first."

"Since Gu said I would wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I will naturally continue to wait. You don't trust Gu... Tsk, it's really sad." Xiao Jinzhi sighed and looked up at the sky with a sad expression.

Chu Huanyan's mouth froze and she couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, stop acting."

"Gu obviously showed his true feelings and was really sad. How could he be acting?" Xiao Jinzhi frowned even more.

Chu Huanyan: "..."

"Next time your Highness frowns sadly, can you please stop raising the corners of your mouth so obviously?"

Sighing and feeling sad, she also curled up her lips and smiled. Looking at the corner of Xiao Jinzhi's mouth, she really couldn't convince herself to believe it.

"Ahem!" Xiao Jinzhi coughed lightly, "Miss Chu, don't pay too much attention to the details."

He had tried very hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, but seeing Chu Huanyan really made him feel happy.

Chu Huanyan was speechless, so she changed the subject and said, "My daughter also wants to check on the sachet, so..."

"I've checked it out." Xiao Jinzhi took out two sachets from his sleeves, which were exactly the same as those in the box before.

Chu Huanyan reached out to take it and looked at it carefully. The fabrics were the same and the embroidery work was similar. Even the lotus flowers embroidered were the same, but she couldn't be sure that they were made by the same person.

"Where did this come from?"

"Gu asked Qin Li to quietly check some of the sachets worn by the palace maids. These two are the most similar. They are worn on the two little palace ladies respectively."

"Did they embroider it themselves?"

"No, I've already inquired about it. These two sachets were found when they were cleaning up the room after entering the palace. They may have been left by the palace maid who lived in that room before."

The two palace maids had entered the palace in the past year or two. The room they were assigned to had been released by a group of palace maids who originally lived in it because of their age.

They thought that maybe the last batch of palace maids left the palace in a hurry and didn't take any of them with them. They also thought that the sachet was still useful and it would be a pity to throw it away, so they kept it.

"Then can you find out who lived in that room before and where they are now?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"I have already sent people to check, but although I can confirm who lives there, after leaving the palace, most of the palace ladies will change their names, or they will stay away from the imperial city. It is not easy to find them, and..."

"And even if it is found, it may not mean anything." Chu Huanyan took over Xiao Jinzhi's words.

Just relying on the sachets with the same workmanship really doesn't mean much. Even if the palace ladies who originally lived in the room are found, they may not be the ones who made the sachets.

After all, the style of this sachet is ordinary, and it is unknown if someone among the palace maids embroidered the same one.

Seeing Chu Huanyan's frown and silence, Xiao Jinzhi said, "Let's get out of the palace first. After all, it's an old matter. Even if we want to investigate, we can't rush it."

Chu Huanyan nodded in agreement, and walked towards the palace entrance with Xiao Jinzhi.

If nothing could be found on the sachet, then she might really want to start with Queen Wei next. But the other party is the queen after all, and if she is really involved in the past, I am afraid that if I test it rashly, I will alert the snake, and I have to wait for the opportunity.

Chu Huanyan was thinking as she walked towards the palace gate with Xiao Jinzhi. When she came to her senses, she was almost through the imperial garden.

However, at this moment, I suddenly saw several palace maids and eunuchs panicking.

"What happened?" Xiao Jinzhi stopped an eunuch and asked.

"Go back, go back to Your Highness the Crown Prince. I have to go ask the imperial doctor. Something happened to the imperial concubine!"
