A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Ru was taking a short break at Concubine Qing's place when she happened to meet the guard who came back to report.

Concubine Ru saw the leading guard and waited for him to report with a smug look on her face that the night pearl was found in the room of the palace maid Yingcan in Jingyang Palace.

This was done perfectly. First, Xiao Kangzi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was bribed, and then the guard was bribed. He didn't believe that he couldn't deal with a yellow-haired girl this time.

The guard failed to accomplish his task and did not dare to look directly at Concubine Ru. Instead, he lowered his head and said, "Hello, Concubine Qing, Hello, Concubine Ru. The whereabouts of the stolen Night Pearl have not been found yet. Please give me some more time. I... I will definitely catch the murderer!"

Before Concubine Qing could speak, Concubine Ru sat up straight and said, "How can we not find them? I heard that those people were the only ones who went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? If we search them thoroughly, there is no way we won't find them!"

Concubine Qing noticed Concubine Ru's excitement and chuckled, "It's okay, just continue the search. The emperor is busy with state affairs now, and you can report to me when you have made some progress."

Seeing that Concubine Qing did not blame him, the leading guard spoke in a friendly manner and expressed gratitude, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty! I will do my best!"

Seeing that Concubine Qing was so unhurried, Rupin felt as if she didn't take the matter to heart.

So he said, "Empress Qing, the Night Pearl is a precious item! Moreover, it was specially presented to Daqing from other places. It would not be good if it is just forgotten like this!"

Concubine Qing followed Concubine Ru's words and asked, "Then according to Concubine Ru's opinion, what should we do?"

Rupin said, "In my opinion, we should strictly investigate the people who entered and left the Imperial Household Department that day. Who did they come into contact with and where did they go? We should search all these people and places one by one and make sure they are thoroughly investigated."

Concubine Qing rubbed her temple and said, "If we search like this, the scope will be very wide. For example, if you contacted me and I contacted her, who knows who has the thing now?"

Rupin spoke confidently, "Your Majesty, once someone has done something, there will be clues. The people who were in the Imperial Household Department that day were those few people, and the thief must be among them! If you really can't find them, take them away and interrogate them severely, and then it will be clear who is right and who is wrong!"

Concubine Qing didn't say anything.

The guard stood there, not knowing what to do, and asked in a low voice, "Empress Qing, this..."

Concubine Qing raised her eyelids and said slowly, "Didn't Concubine Ru give you some advice just now? Just follow what Concubine Ru said."

The guard received the order and said passionately, "Yes! I'll go right down!"

Concubine Ru looked at the guard's departing back with satisfaction. In her mind, she had already imagined how that hateful Yingcan would be tortured under severe punishment. Last time in Jingyang Palace, she had made her lose face in front of everyone. This time, she would definitely not let her go!

Concubine Qing caught a glimpse of Concubine Ru's expression from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, this woman really can't hide anything on her face~

Concubine Qing joked, "Princess Ru, please sit down. You are more concerned about the situation than I am. If the emperor knew about it, I'm afraid he would blame me~"

Rupin sat down and said, "Your Majesty, you are too gentle. These servants don't do their job properly, otherwise there wouldn't be any theft."

"From what I have seen, Your Majesty should use this theft incident to severely punish the murderer and establish your authority! Otherwise, others will be unconvinced!"

Concubine Qing smiled tactfully and said, "I am only managing the harem on your behalf. There is no need to deliberately establish my authority. When the queen recovers from her illness, these harem affairs will still be the queen's business."

Rupin snorted coldly, "There was a fire in the Third Prince's room, and the Queen is not innocent! Everyone in the palace knows about it. The Emperor ordered the Queen to be taken away and interrogated in the Yangxin Palace for most of the day!"

"It's not certain where the Queen is now!"

Concubine Qing made a gesture to keep quiet. "Shh! This concerns the Queen, don't say anything nonsense."

Rupin curled her lips and said, "Yes, I understand."

Jingyang Palace

Haitang put the flowers into the room and called Yingcan.

He whispered, "Yingcan, what do you think we should do with this thing?"

Yingcan bit his lip and said, "I don't know who is behind this and wants to harm me, but Xiao Kangzi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be involved! He was instructed by someone to put the things into my cloth!"

Haitang said firmly, "Then let's start with him! We'll put the stuff on him, and when he's caught and convicted, if the people behind him don't help him, he'll be desperate and confess."

Yingcan said, "Okay, if he says that he secretly framed me and that the things somehow returned by themselves, then I will deny it. Anyway, the guards have already searched the Jingyang Palace and they really didn't find it."

Haitang smiled and said, "They certainly didn't expect that the people they sent to search would become witnesses to prove your innocence!"

Yingcan nodded. "Yes, harming others will eventually harm yourself. But how can we sneakily return this thing?"

Haitang raised her head and chest and said, "Leave it to me!"

Yingcan smiled at Haitang, feeling that this girl had become smarter and more courageous after being with the young master for so long!

Haitang dug out the night pearl to prevent light from letting through, and wrapped it with some cloth and put it in her sleeves.

"Look, if I take it like this, no one will notice, right?"

Yingcan looked at Haitang's wide cuffs and couldn't see anything unusual, so he replied, "I can't tell."

Haitang: "Okay, I'll go then!"

Haitang left the room and called a few palace maids to the palace. She said to them, "Your Majesty has not been sleeping well recently. The imperial physician said that you can put some calming flowers in the room. You can follow me to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to move them."

Palace Person: "Yes."

Then they went to the Imperial Household Department.

As soon as Haitang came over, someone came to meet her. Haitang looked around and saw that it was not Xiaokangzi, so she asked, "Is Xiaokangzi not here? The fabrics he picked out last time were very beautiful. I also want him to help me pick out some flowers!"

The man said, "You are talking about Xiao Kangzi, he is no longer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
