The stewards didn't sit and wait, they were afraid that Aunt Xiao was busy investigating in the inner court, so the stewards made urgent moves in the outer court, and even let the wind out, spreading the news about the Yu family's taking of ancient jade. After going out, everyone pointed to the Yu family, even the servants in the palace thought it was the Yu family who did it.

The last time the Yu family did business in private, even if the Yu family came forward to explain, no one believed it. The master’s illness is very serious. He woke up after being in a coma for two days and two nights. Come to check, the business outside is affected again, and the stewards also help from it, the Lin family competes with the Yu family for business.

When the eldest wife heard that the three children in the palace were locked in the dungeon, she was several years old, and all the burdens on her body were on him. The aunts came to cry every day, and there were even those who wanted to separate. Well, before the master left, the family started to make a fuss.

The eldest wife wanted to pass a message to Aunt Yu, but she couldn't find anyone. The palace didn't let Yu's family in at all. Even if they were looking for connections, no one dared to pass on the message. Aunt Yu was in the dungeon, cursing wildly all day long. Disgusted by things, he didn't eat a bite of food, and pointed at Yu Fei and cursed at every turn.

Yu Cheng was always in a bad mood, and had to endure Aunt Yu every day. Since Yu Fei came in, she seldom talked. Now, she doesn't say a word, except for a few mouthfuls of food, she just squats in the corner and weeps. No matter what Yu Cheng does Comfort, Yufei just can't listen.

Song Yan has never been here, but the food has improved a lot, which is similar to what they usually eat, and the servants are also very polite to them, and they will fulfill some of Yu Cheng's requests if they can.

Without Yu Cheng by his side, Song Yan didn't even go out, just leaned on the bed and read a book all day, the old princess was still angry, no one dared to mention the matter of the princess, let alone Yu's family.

Concubine Lin asked a genius doctor to prescribe some folk remedies. Madam Wang looked worried, but Concubine Lin gritted her teeth and drank it. After calculating Concubine Lin's horoscope, and looking at the feng shui of the residence, she finally said: "If you live here, you will never get pregnant."

Concubine Lin anxiously asked: "What's the master's opinion?"

"The best location in the palace is Chiyuan, where the prince lives. If Princess Lin Fang can move to live in Chiyuan, she will be able to conceive the little prince within a year." The fortune teller stroked his white beard.

"Chiyuan?" Concubine Lin wondered: "The prince and princess live in Chiyuan now, so they can just move there. Master, let's see if there are other suitable places in the palace?"

"Based on your horoscope, there is only one place in Chiyuan." The fortune teller said, "If you don't conceive the little prince this year, you will have no chance in the future."

"What?" Concubine Lin was surprised: "Master, you must help me."

"Of course, but I still need you to do it. That's all I can say." The fortune teller said: "I will do a ritual for you, it will be more beneficial to conceive the little prince."

"Thank you, Master." Concubine Lin said, "If you need anything, just ask."

Mama Wang gave 500 taels of silver, and when the master left, Concubine Lin became troubled and said, "Chi Yuan, when I was a concubine, I never had the chance to live with him. Now that I have a concubine, it is even more difficult."

"Miss, no matter how hard it is, you can't give up. If you can't conceive the little prince, you will have no status after this." Mother Wang persuaded: "Go and ask the old princess, he has always wanted a grandson, so he won't help you." .”

"I can't conceive, and there are other aunts in line, how can I stand by my side." Concubine Lin said with a helpless smile: "If the prince doesn't nod, there is nothing I can do."

Mama Wang thought for a while, and said cautiously: "How about, Miss, think about it again."

"This matter is not over yet, if something happens again, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be suspected. Let's wait." Concubine Lin said.

"Miss, we can't wait for this matter. It's a risk, and we have to find a way to move to Chiyuan." Mama Wang said anxiously: "Now that the princess is locked in the dungeon, the lady's chance has come. Don't wait for the princess to come out. Difficult."

"You have seen the prince's attitude in the past two days. He didn't care about me at all. How can he open his mouth?" Concubine Lin was also anxious: "The prince's health is not yet fully recovered. If it is known that he insists on having intercourse and spreads it, You don’t have to be human anymore.”

"Miss is shameless. For so many years, following the prince's temperament, I wasted time." Mama Wang whispered in Concubine Lin's ear for a long time.

"Is this okay?" Concubine Lin asked.

"Yes." Madam Wang said firmly, "As long as Miss can make up her mind."

Concubine Lin thought about being able to conceive the little prince, so there was nothing she could not make up her mind about.

Three days later, the old concubine also saw something different. The prince didn't say anything, but he still had thoughts in his heart. How could the old concubine not know her son, so she opened her mouth first: "Let the concubine go, the prince's Your body matters."

Aunt Xiao personally went to ask the princess to come out, Yu Cheng frowned and said, "Is it just me?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you wait a few more days." Yu Cheng said, "Whenever Princess Yu and Aunt Yu can go out, I will go out."

Aunt Xiao nodded calmly, went out, went directly back to the old princess, slapped the old princess on the table angrily, and said angrily: "There is no law, and you have to put on airs after doing such a thing. If you don't want to come out, just lock it up." , I believe how arrogant you can be."

"How's the investigation on Gu Yu's matter?" The old concubine asked about the matter.

"The inner courtyard was checked, but nothing was found." Aunt Xiao said truthfully: "The outer courtyard still needs to be investigated, and the palace hasn't found anything missing yet."

"Re-check it, don't be stupid enough to put it in a conspicuous place, check if there is a dark place in their room, or a hidden compartment or something, check everything in the flowerpot and vase, and check all the places where things can be hidden. One time." Nothing was found out, and this matter is even more difficult to deal with, as long as Princess Uce does not plead guilty, there will be doubts about this matter.

"Yes."

Just as Concubine Lin breathed a sigh of relief, when she heard that there was an investigation, she would be so scared that she couldn't sleep, and Ms. Wang was too nervous, but Guanshi Liu felt at ease. She didn't mess with her hands and feet at first, so she must do something this time , sent a few servants to share the small items, which were not easy to be found, took the opportunity of cleaning, and hid in the room of Princess Yuzai. Come on.

The stewards are very experienced in hiding things. Under the flowerpots and inside the vases are the places that ordinary people would hide. If they are placed in these places, even smarter people can find them, and they can reasonably push them to Princess Uza. .

Aunt Xiao stood in front of Concubine Lin's house, Concubine Lin was sitting on the kang by the window, drinking tea leisurely, Mama Wang notified her twice, Concubine Lin didn't say a word, she just made Aunt Xiao look bad on purpose, Concubine Lin's In the house, Aunt Xiao dared to come to check again. The last time I checked, I still thought that Aunt Xiao was a sensible person, so I just wanted to explain it, but this time it was serious.

Concubine Lin has ghosts in her heart, and it's only a matter of time if she can delay it for a while. A side princess can still hold down an aunt, her identity is here.

Aunt Xiao waited quietly for two hours, she didn't move her body except for blinking. Mama Wang looked outside the door and whispered, "Should I let Aunt Xiao come in? The princess is here."

"Yes." Concubine Lin played with the handkerchief and said, "Only let him in, the others are not qualified to enter the house."

After Aunt Xiao came in, she saluted first, then said nothing, just stared at Concubine Lin like that. Concubine Lin didn't have the skill of Aunt Xiao, so she broke the silence first and said, "Aunt Xiao is here, what's the matter?"

"Under the order of the old concubine, come here to re-examine." Aunt Xiao said: "During the re-examination, no one should be in the room."

"Hmph." Concubine Lin snorted coldly, "There is no one in the house, who knows if the things you found belong to the house."

"Princess Lin Fang can watch at the door. If there is any tampering, I will recognize it all." Aunt Xiao said.

"Okay, we have been sisters for many years, and in this palace, we are closest to you, and the others are far away." Concubine Lin played the friend card and said, "You don't like to listen to nonsense, and I know yours too." Temperament, let me just talk about it, you can check it, but Aunt Xiao is a sensible person, so she must know how to check it. In the future in this palace, we sisters will have to take care of each other. It's good-looking, but it's not good for anyone."

"The old concubine has orders, I don't dare to be careless, I'm afraid I will disappoint Concubine Lin Fang." Aunt Xiao said expressionlessly.

Concubine Lin gritted her teeth, how could someone refuse to eat, and she became angry when she saw it, Concubine Lin said: "Aunt Xiao is not giving my sister my face?"

Aunt Xiao was silent, Concubine Lin was furious, she flung her sleeves, angrily left the room, stood at the door, raised her chin, and stared at it herself.

Aunt Xiao was also unambiguous, and immediately asked people to come in. She searched the entire room carefully. Concubine Lin looked disdainful on the surface, but her palms broke out in cold sweat. Mother Wang's feet began to tremble. Concubine Lin and Mama Wang let out a sigh at the same time.

Everyone else left the house, and Aunt Xiao was the last one. When she was about to leave the house, she suddenly looked up at the roof and said, "Go up and have a look."

Concubine Lin's face turned pale, and Mama Wang's heart was about to jump out. The servants moved the stool, put it on the table, climbed up again, and found a box on the roof beam. Aunt Xiao took the box and looked at it. Glancing at Concubine Lin, Concubine Lin stepped forward and pressed Aunt Xiao's body as she was about to leave, saying, "This is my dowry, a personal item given to me by the Lin family. Can Aunt Xiao leave this box?"

Aunt Xiao shook her head and said, "It's up to the old concubine to decide."

Seeing Aunt Xiao leaving the house with the box in her hands, Concubine Lin suddenly became angry: "I don't even give you any favors. My today is your tomorrow. In this palace, if you don't think about yourself, you can only die of old age alone." Aunt Xiao is so ruthless."

Aunt Xiao turned around and said: "Princess Lin Fang should also know that this is the palace, there is something that the old concubine doesn't know."

Finding out the box in front of everyone, Concubine Lin naively thought that as long as Aunt Xiao left the box, it would be fine. I've seen what's in the box.

Concubine Lin sat softly on the ground, Mama Wang went to help Concubine Lin in fright, Concubine Lin burst into tears, looked at Aunt Xiao and said: "This is not mine, it was forced."

Aunt Xiao said lightly: "Go and plead with the old concubine."

Concubine Lin's tears flowed more violently. She was worried that after being terrified for so long, she was still discovered. Concubine Lin regretted it very much now. If she made a wrong step, she would make a wrong step. She shouldn't have asked the stewards about their affairs in the first place. This is all self-inflicted and deserves it.

Seeing Concubine Lin's despairing expression, Mama Wang felt sad and made an instant decision. Mama Wang turned to beg Aunt Xiao and said, "Take this servant to see the old concubine, all things are done by this servant alone. Yes, Concubine Lin doesn't know."

Aunt Xiao didn't move, Madam Wang said: "As long as Aunt Xiao has an explanation, the rest is our business."

Aunt Xiao nodded, she agreed, and Concubine Lin pulled Mama Wang back and exclaimed: "Don't go, you will die, you can't go."

"Miss, the servant's life is given by the lady, and it is the blessing of the servant to bear it for the lady." Mother Wang said, crying: "In the future, the servant may no longer be able to serve the lady."

"No." Concubine Lin held onto it tightly and wouldn't let go: "It's all the tricks of the stewards, and they were all coerced."

Aunt Xiao said: "Let's go to the old concubine together."

Concubine Lin nodded fiercely. As long as she had a little hope, she didn't want to give up. Mother Wang helped Concubine Lin stand up, and said to Aunt Xiao: "For the sake of years of love, I don't ask Aunt Xiao to ask for help, but I also ask Aunt Xiao Don't add insult to injury here."

Aunt Xiao said indifferently: "I'm just here to handle some business, and leave the rest to the old concubine to decide."
