Concubine Gao was confined to the Chuxiu Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures, and Wei Yingluo went to work as a chore in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion in Yuanmingyuan.

However, in a place like the harem, how could there be a truly quiet day?

At this time, Qianlong's birthday is approaching, and the concubines humbly expressed in front of the queen mother and empress that the congratulations should be based on their hearts, but secretly they all tried their best to get ahead. Except for the daily activities of inviting An and visiting the garden, almost all of them were rehearsing intensively Get ready.

She Shuxian is no exception.

She has no intention of fighting for favor, but she knows better - the birthday party of the big leader, if the gift is too grand, it will be remembered, and if the gift is not prepared, it will be remembered because it is too outstanding. Big pig's trotters are preparing a cheap and grand gift!

After three days of contemplation, She Shuxian finally went to the system to exchange a pack of blood plasma to make a so-called blood scripture book. She was going to find a valuable box and frame it for delivery.

One day, She Shuxian was checking the boxes from the warehouse when she suddenly smelled a calm fragrance. She looked up and saw Yuan Chunwang walking in with a red silk plate in both hands.

"Prince He heard that the empress wanted to find a box to hold a gift for the emperor, so he specially asked the servant to deliver this little thing."

As he said that, Yuan Chunwang uncovered the red silk, revealing the box carved from a whole piece of agarwood wood, the light fragrance overflowed naturally, unconsciously calming the heart.

"Your Majesty, you really have a heart with the prince. Such a large piece of aloes is precious even in the palace, not to mention there are such exquisite carvings on the surface!"

Jane was very excited.

She Shuxian's expression was serious: "The agarwood box is indeed beautiful, but there is one thing I don't understand—"

After ordering the palace lady to take over the agarwood box, She Shuxian said to Yuan Chunwang: "My palace has never formally transferred you to Chengqian Palace, why did Prince He let you hand over the agarwood box? What did you say in front of Prince He?"

"The slave only said in front of the prince that the slave is working for the empress, and nothing else was said." Yuan Chunwang replied with a bow.

She Shuxian saw Yuan Chunwang's concealment before and after what he said, and she became more and more sure that this person is a poisonous snake that can't be warmed up. She smiled and said: "You once said that you will prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother for me. How is the birthday gift prepared?"

"The thousand-year-old birthday gift has been almost prepared. When the emperor's birthday passes, the servant will present the gift to the empress."

Yuan Chunwang's words were vague and he didn't want to say more.

She Shuxian said: "Are you sure that what you will present to me is a surprise, not a shock?"

"The slave is willing to guarantee it with his life!"

Yuan Chunwang swears to the sky.

She Shuxian smiled and said: "Your life is worthless in this harem. That's all, since I entrusted you with the errand, I will trust you for now!"

"Thank you for your grace!"

After Yuan Chunwang kowtowed his head, he didn't back down immediately, and said in a low voice, "I have one more important matter to report to your empress."

"What's the matter?" She Shuxian asked.

Yuan Chunwang glanced left and right, but said nothing.

She Shuxian turned away from the left and right, leaving only Rong Wan and Zhen'er behind, and said, "Can we talk now?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuan Chunwang raised his head and said to She Shuxian: "The slave is working in Xinzheku. I once heard a court lady who made a mistake in the embroidery workshop and was demoted to Xinzheku say that when Yingluo from Changchun Palace was working in the embroidery workshop, she searched for embroidery many times. Nanny Fang asked about a court lady named Wei Yingning, and later she went around asking someone to ask a court lady named Aman who was kicked out because of the taboo of having an affair with a guard!"

"Wei Yingning...Aman..."

She Shuxian immediately realized that these two people might be the same person, she said to Yuan Chunwang: "What's the name of the maid?"

"Her name is Jinxiu."

After Yuan Chunwang answered this sentence, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to see her?"

She Shuxian did not answer Yuan Chunwang, but said to Rong Wan: "Nurse Rong—"

"Your servant understands, I will go to Xinzheku and bring Jinxiu here!"

Rong Wan stepped back.

She Shuxian said to Yuan Chunwang: "You are not allowed to reveal to anyone what you just said to Ben Gong!"

"The servant understands that the servant will rot every word he said to the empress just now."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Chunwang exited the room.

She Shuxian pinched the bracelet and began to think about the mystery.

Wei Yingning and Wei Yingluo are likely to be biological sisters, at least sisters of the same generation, and Aman...

She Shuxian remembered a piece of insignificant information she found when she sent Zhen'er to investigate Aman before: Aman was not originally called Aman, but when she entered the palace to register, she changed her name to Aman because her name was different from that of a noble person in the palace.

Combined with the fact that Wei Yingluo first asked Wei Yingning and then Aman after she entered the embroidery workshop, She Shuxian could not help but come to the conclusion: Aman is Wei Yingluo's sister Wei Yingning, and the nobleman who has the same name as Wei Yingning is the senior of Chuxiu Palace. Concubine!

However, even if Wei Yingning changed her name to Aman, her fate with Concubine Gao did not end. Her younger sister even entered the palace because of her death, and became a deadly enemy with Concubine Gao...

After thinking about the cause and effect, She Shuxian couldn't help sighing: "It's really a bad fate."

"Of course it's Nie Yuan. Otherwise, how could there be so many reward points for the system task of 'Aman's Death'? Naturally, there is a deep-seated reason!"

The System Elf, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, flew out flapping its wings and landed on She Shuxian's right hand, looking squished.

She Shuxian got angry when she saw it, pressed her temple that kept jumping, and said: "Hey, I have successfully completed the tasks of 'Aman's death' and 'Yongqi's birth', when will the system rewards be sent to me?" ?”

"The reward points for 'Yongqi's Birth' will arrive immediately, and the rewards for 'Aman's Death'..."

The system elf's demeanor was a little erratic.

She Shuxian realized that there was a mystery, and asked: "What do you mean? Could it be that the task of 'Aman's death'..."

"Master, you haven't completed the task of 'Aman's death'. You only found out the inside story of Aman's fornication with the guards, but you didn't find out who killed Aman!"

"In other words, the mission of 'Aman's death' must be found and the murderer who killed Aman be found?"

"Yes, find out the murderer and get the system reward."

The dead fat man flapped slender wings that did not match its image at all.

She Shuxian thought for a while, and said: "The ugly words are up front. I am only responsible for finding the murderer. I have no obligation to kill or protect the murderer! After you find the murderer, you must give me rewards for clearing the mission, otherwise—"

"Master, when did I fool you~"

System elves pretend to be cute on purpose.

She Shuxian smiled coldly and pushed it back.

……

……

Rong Wan brought Jinxiu to Chengqian Palace.

Jinxiu has a tendency to be inflamed by nature, and after seeing She Shuxian, before she could ask her any questions, she revealed all her contacts with Wei Yingluo, even under the instigation of Aunt Fang, she framed Wei Yingluo for having an affair with her bodyguard Qingxi, and even secretly entangled in the womb. He also said it word for word.

finally--

"...The servant just listens to Aunt Fang's orders. The servant has never done anything to offend Wei Yingluo, but she caused her to lose her job in the embroidery workshop. The hand that was originally specialized in embroidery was reduced to going to Xinzheku to wash clothes and wash clothes." Bucket... the slave has been wronged! I hope the empress will see clearly!"

Jinxiu cried out for herself.

She Shuxian gave her a blank look, and said, "You were punished for this incident and sent to Xin Zheku. Where did Aunt Fang go?"

"Returning to your mother, Aunt Fang was kicked out of the Forbidden City," Jinxiu said, "Poor aunt has been working in the palace for most of her life, but she ended up like this in the end. This Wei Yingluo is really vicious—"

"Shut up, Master only asked you where Aunt Fang went, and didn't ask you to say what kind of person Wei Yingluo is!" Zhen Er scolded.

Looking at Zhen'er's attire, Jinxiu knew that she was an embarrassing court lady in front of Concubine Xian, so she didn't dare to contradict her, and flattered her: "The servant only worked in the embroidery workshop and Xinzheku, I haven't seen the scene, I don't know the rules, and I don't know the rules. Please forgive my slave for talking too much."

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you."

She Shuxian moved her fingers, motioning for Jinxiu to look up, and said, "I don't understand something, I hope you can explain it."

"Your Majesty, please tell me, the servant must know everything and say everything."

"Ah."

She Shuxian nodded and said, "Since Wei Yingluo and Qingxi, the guard of Qianqingmen, are a good show to lure snakes out of their holes, why is Qingxi willing to accompany her in this scene? Have the two known each other for a long time?"

"This... this servant only knows that Wei Yingluo talked to Qingxi when she walked past the Qianqing Gate for the first time in the palace, and that Qingxi even sneaked to the embroidery workshop to find Wei Yingluo. This servant is naive, seeing their close relationship, I thought that the two must have an affair, but I didn't expect...to fall into Wei Yingluo's tricks...to harm myself and Aunt Fang..."

Having said that, Jinxiu bowed her head and began to cry.

She Shuxian asked a few more questions, and after confirming that Jinxiu could not provide more information, she asked Rong Wan to take her down, and said to Zhen'er, "Is the bodyguard Qingxi still working in the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhen'er thought for a while, and replied: "The bodyguard Qingxi flirted with the court lady in the Imperial Garden some time ago, and was expelled from the palace after being reprimanded."

"Molested the maid? Who did he molested?" She Shuxian asked.

Zhen'er said: "It is said that it is Wei Yingluo from the Changchun Palace. The servant does not know exactly what happened."

"Wei Yingluo...it's Wei Yingluo again..."

She Shuxian's eyes gradually deepened, and after a little thought, she said to Zhen'er: "You go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation these few days, if you meet Prince He, tell him that the agarwood box he entrusted Yuan Chunwang to send is very special to my palace. I like it. Also, please ask him to help me find two people outside the palace, one is Aunt Fang who used to work in the embroidery workshop, and the other is Qingxi, the guard of the Qianqing Gate who was expelled from the palace for molesting the maid Wei Yingluo some time ago."

"Your Majesty suspects that there is something else going on about Qingxi molesting Wei Yingluo?" Zhen'er asked.

She Shuxian stroked her temples, and said, "When we see Qingxi, the truth should be cleared up."

"Then what should Jinxiu do with it?" Zhen'er asked.

She Shuxian said: "Send it to Concubine Jia for the time being, and decide whether she will stay or not after the matter is clarified!"

My aunt is here. Fortunately, I worked hard to write a little more a few days ago...
