[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

"Say!" The old prince cheered up and said hastily.

"Yes, these three bank notes are from the same batch. It is recorded in the brochure that on the first day of March this year, someone brought 1 taels of silver notes to the bank and exchanged them for fifty 200 taels of silver notes. " said a treasurer.

"Okay!" The prince praised and looked at Wei Momo, "Mommy, you can see that this news is useful."

Mother Wei nodded and said, "It's useful, but who is on duty at the bank on the first day of March, do you still remember the money changer?"

The lord looked at several shopkeepers, and his eyes signaled that he still didn't answer?

A shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up.

"On the first day of March, shopkeeper Li, who was on duty at the bank, asked for leave at home. The little old man made up for the lack of shopkeeper Li for a day, and because the young old man was on duty at the front desk for one day this year, so the things on that day were minor. The old man still remembers a little bit."

Mother Wei was overjoyed and said, "I don't know if the shopkeeper can remember what the man's name is and what he looks like?"

The shopkeeper recalled and said, "It's a man in his thirties, and he looks like the housekeeper of a wealthy family. The little old man still remembers that day when the little old man exchanged the bank note for this guest, a guest came in. , and call this man Steward Yan."

Wei Momo calmly motioned to the people behind her, and took out a few portraits.

"Recognize it, is Steward Yan one of them?"

In fact, from the moment the shopkeeper mentioned Steward Yan, it was already clear who that person was. He was related to the palace and his surname was Yan. Besides Xianfei's natal family, who else was there?

However, Mother Wei still motioned for the portrait to be taken out.

There are only a few masters in the palace, but how many of them will conflict with Concubine Shu and the First Prince?Moreover, there is a fixed person in each mansion who can take over the handling of money. Therefore, before leaving the palace, Mother Wei no matter what happens, she asks someone to draw a picture of the money handed over by every concubine's natal family in the palace. The purpose of the housekeeper is to be recognized.

The shopkeeper looked at the portrait and said with certainty, "This one is this one."

Nanny Wei closed the portrait, then thanked the old prince with a smile, and hurried to the palace.

The person identified by the shopkeeper is Yan Er, the steward of Concubine Xian's natal family. This Yan Er's loyalty to Yan Shangshu has been tested, otherwise he would not have been given the surname "Yan". Therefore, this Yan Er is absolutely impossible. was bought.

People with concubines in the palace will indeed send money to the palace every once in a while, whether it is the emperor or the master of the palace, they will turn a blind eye to this, after all, they are giving money to their own daughters.

The source of these banknotes is definitely the Yan family, and when the Yan family's banknotes arrive in the palace, there is only one possibility that the Yan family gave them to Concubine Xian for relationship.

It's a good deal to manage the relationship, and even managed to reach the Changle Palace.

Mother Wei quickened her pace, wishing she could arrive at Changle Palace immediately and report the news to Concubine Shu.

Palace

In Changle Palace, Yingchun asked again if the eldest prince and the third prince were well. After the palace staff reported that they were well, they continued to sit on the couch and wait for news.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Concubine Xian is asking to see you." The palace servant reported.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm resting!" Yingchun said.

Concubine Xian looked at the lights in the main hall of Changle Palace, sighed and turned to leave.

A while after Concubine Xian left, Concubine Gui came again.

"I'm here to ask Sister Concubine Shu, is there anything I can do to help?" There was a trace of worry on the brows of the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, our Majesty has already rested. When your Majesty wakes up, the servants must truthfully convey your Majesty's wishes." The palace man refused.

The noble concubine glanced at the lights that were on in the main hall, hesitated to speak, and then left with a trace of helplessness after a long while.

When the nuns of Wei came back from the palace, Yingchun still sat on the couch and waited.

"Your Majesty, it has been found out that the banknotes were exchanged by the Yan family from the Baofeng Bank on the first day of March. The servants also checked when they entered the palace. After the first day of March, someone from the Yan family indeed handed over the banknotes to Concubine Xian." Nanny Wei said.

"It's just that the person who damaged the railing at the pond has not been found yet, and the Yan family and the Rongguo Mansion are already married, and Concubine Xian has a lot of dependence on the empress. Among them..."

Xiuju interjected, "Your Majesty, the servants have already asked about it. I heard that the eldest prince and the eldest princess had a conflict some time ago. After the princess returned to Yongning Palace, she cried a lot and developed a high fever that night. The empress Xianfei He complained a lot, and he was afraid of offending the empress, so he didn't even dare to call the imperial doctor."

Everyone was shocked, could it be because of this reason that Concubine Xian harbored a grudge and designed the eldest prince to vent his anger on the eldest princess?

Although it was unexpected, but thinking about how much Concubine Xian valued the eldest princess, it made sense.

"Come here, follow me to Yongning Palace."

In Yongning Palace, live the concubine Xian's mother and daughter.

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until dawn tomorrow, maybe calm down, and your Majesty can find more clues." Wei Momo persuaded.

Yingchun's footsteps paused, and she said, "Nurse, I am very calm. This is the most calm moment I have lived for so many years."

Mother Wei continued, "At present, the servants and others have found that although they point to Concubine Xian, there is no conclusive evidence. Besides, whether it is Concubine Xian or others, they are all in this palace, and they cannot escape. "

"Nurse, as long as I know who did it, it's fine for me to know who did it. As for the evidence, it's not that important. Besides, no matter how much evidence there is, it's not as good as admitting it myself." Yingchun's tone was soft, soft and unusual, but Everyone in the hall clearly felt the hostility.

Mother Wei was worried, if there was no evidence, but the empress herself identified the murderer, would she kill him regardless of everything?Whether it is a noble concubine or a virtuous concubine, they are not ordinary people, even if they committed a heinous crime, but if they die at the hands of the empress without proof, the empress will not be able to explain it to her!

No one put himself in it to vent his anger.

If it was Yingchun in normal times, maybe she wouldn't be able to detect Weimao's thoughts at the first time, but at this time, as soon as Weimao said it, Yingchun knew what she was worried about.

Looking reassuringly at Nanny Wei, Yingchun said, "Don't worry, Mommy, I know what I'm doing. Ding'er and Huan'er are still young, so I don't want to take care of them, what will I do? Leave Ding'er and Huan'er."

Yingchun's tone paused, and then she changed the topic and said, "But, thinking that the person who plans to plan Ding'er lives in the palace, I can't wait for a moment!"

Mother Wei sighed, "Young maidservant, go with your mother!"

Yingchun nodded, go if you want!

Changle Palace is to the west of the palace, and Yongning Palace, where Concubine Xian lives, is to the east of the palace. The palace is so huge that one can walk there with one pair of feet. Therefore, Yingchun can only take a bus.

In the palace, after the time for key release, the palace people are not allowed to move around, the gates of all the palaces in the palace are closed, and the palaces are even locked, but Yingchun has a token with him. Steadily arrived at the East Sixth Palace.

Walking at night, the palace people carry palace lanterns, so the marching team of Yingchun and others is like fireflies at night, which is extraordinarily eye-catching.

In Chang'an Palace:

The noble concubine who came back after visiting Concubine Shu was rejected, she was depressed and couldn't fall asleep.

But at this time, the nun beside her came to report that it was Concubine Shu who brought people out of the West Sixth Palace and came to the East Sixth Palace.

For people like them, even if the key was lost in the palace, what they want to know naturally has channels to know.

"I'm going to see Concubine Shu's younger sister." The concubine was overjoyed.

The mother hurriedly stopped her, and said, "How can the empress say that you know her whereabouts when she sees Concubine Shu? The eldest prince is being plotted against, and this is a sensitive moment. Is the empress afraid that Concubine Shu will suspect that you have inserted a nail in Changle Palace?"

The imperial concubine was forced to stop.

At this time, another palace official came to report that Concubine Shu had gone in the direction of Yongning Palace.

Seeing that the imperial concubine didn't look back, the nanny tried to persuade, "Since the carriage of Concubine Shu has gone to Yongning Palace, Yongning Palace may have something to do with the murder of the eldest prince. Now that Concubine Shu is angry, why bother?" Disliked before? No one was said to be asking for information."

"Besides, Concubine Xian has a heart for you, Concubine Xian. If you go, Concubine Xian will probably suspect that you are joking about going to see her, and she will not wait to see Your Majesty even more."

The imperial concubine was wilting like an eggplant beaten by frost!Complained, "It's so boring!"

"Your Majesty, be careful. Now it's different from when your Majesty first entered the palace. The three of you can stay together in the palace better. Now, with interests involved, they don't know how to treat you, Madam..."

The voice of persuasion gradually decreased, and the concubine did not step out of Chang'an Palace again.

Some things have changed with the passage of time.

Yongning Palace

Chang'an Palace can get the movement of Yingchun, and she can naturally get it from Yongning Palace, even if she lives a quiet life.

The whole Yongning Palace was filled with a tense atmosphere. After all, at the moment when the eldest prince was murdered, Concubine Shu, the mother, led people straight to Yongning Palace in the middle of the night, so there was a sense of aggressiveness to settle accounts.

Concubine Xian whispered, "How did you come to this point?"

No one answered Concubine Xian's words, and no one heard Concubine Xian's whispers, maybe Concubine Xian said it to herself!

"When Concubine Shu comes, I will come to the apse and call me." Concubine Xian said.

This sentence, she said to the palace servants in the palace.At this time, she missed her daughter's innocent and innocent face even more.

"Yes" the palace man agreed, but in fact the palace man was also terrified, she was afraid that Concubine Shu would anger her because she was from Yongning Palace.
