Shui Cheng flipped through the roster of servants in the mansion, and on the first page was the name and whereabouts of the housekeeper Mercury. "Mercury was originally the son of a personal bodyguard by the emperor's side. Before he was born, his father died in the line of duty when he was out hunting. Later, when his mother gave birth to him, she also suffered from childbirth. Died. Father was very sad at that time, in addition to generously comforting the guard's family, he also brought Mercury into the palace and let him be my companion." Jia Mu nodded.When Shui Cheng flipped through the roster, even he was terrified. There are actually several maids in this mansion who were sent by Prince Zhongshun. Among them was Hui Xiang who had been serving in the study and now was helping Daiyu. .There is also a woman and a few maids, and even Huixiang and those maids, all of them are quite pretty.It is said that the woman was a nanny in the palace before, and she served the former empress and concubine mother.He couldn't help but think of the bizarre poisoning of the former empress and his own mother and concubine. This old lady Yao, who was born in the Zhongshun palace, actually served the two most favored concubines at that time... Thinking of this, Shui Cheng's mind suddenly buzzed, and he broke out in a cold sweat.Since Mrs. Yao was sent by Prince Zhongshun's mansion, it is self-evident that King Zhongshun's sinister intentions.But since Mrs. Yao was sent by King Zhongshun, who is her real identity?Shui Cheng was the same as Jia's mother, no matter how she looked at Mrs. Yao, she didn't think she was like an ordinary old woman.

Here, Shui Cheng and Jia's mother were having a hard time worrying about the background of the woman surnamed Yao, when they heard Shui Xing outside the door saying: "Old Madam, Lord, the gardener Old Wang is here, saying that he has something important to report." Shui Cheng Feeling very surprised, he couldn't help but looked at Jia Mu, and seeing that she had no objection, he said to the door: "Let him in!" Turning around, Shui Cheng told Jia Mu again: "This gardener's surname is Wang, and he came to this palace. After the work was finished, the first gardener who came in. He only knows how to play with flowers and plants every day, and occasionally makes some scented tea by himself, and even gave me some." Just as he was talking, he saw the gardener leaning on a bamboo stick, slowly walked in.Seeing Shui Cheng and Jia Mu, he knelt down respectfully: "My lord, my majesty please greet me!" Shui Cheng nodded, "Get up and talk!" The gardener kowtowed, but refused to stand up: "My lord, my majesty! This old slave knows who you are looking for, this old slave knows who reported the letter!" "Who?!" Shui Cheng blushed with anger. "It's Mrs. Yao!" "What proof do you have?" Mother Jia asked calmly. "Old Madam, do you still remember the day when the princess told you that she wanted to go to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense. At that time, Mrs. Yao was not there, but she had eyeliner." "Her eyeliner? Who is it?" Shui Chengqi It's not easy. "It's Qiu'er. Qiu'er is usually very close to Mrs. Yao. Could it be that the prince has not noticed that Qiu'er and Mrs. Yao look alike." The gardener's tone was very firm.Shui Cheng and Jia Mu looked at each other, it seems that there are indeed many traitors in this mansion, this mansion should be cleaned up.

"Then, how do you know this?!" Mother Jia laughed.Looking at Jia's mother, and then at Shui Cheng, the old gardener burst into tears suddenly, and Shui Cheng couldn't help being very surprised: "Why are you crying? We didn't torture to extract a confession." The old gardener was startled.Jia Mu looked at Shui Cheng, couldn't help being angry and funny, turned her head and smiled at the old gardener who was still kneeling: "Get up! The prince is not angry with you!" The old gardener just kowtowed and stood up slowly. stand up. "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk, you are so old!" Jiamu saw that this gardener was not an ordinary old man, maybe he knew something, watching him walk and his eyes, It seems to be born in the ranks before.The old gardener looked at Shui Cheng, still hesitating, wanted to sit but didn't dare.Shui Cheng smiled: "The ancestor asked you to sit, so you can sit!" The old gardener hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to sit. "Old Wang, how long have you been in the palace?" Jia Mu asked suddenly. "Before the prince entered the mansion, the palace had just been built. One day I saw the palace looking for a gardener, so I went to the plumber and came in." How long?" The old gardener nodded. "Old Wang, what did you do before?" Mother Jia continued to ask. "The old slave's grandfather and father were both flower farmers, and the old slave's family has been growing flowers for generations. Later, when the county government officials came, the old slave was arrested and served in the military." "Oh... I said, Looking at your walking posture and eyes, I know that you are not like an ordinary person. Then why do you want to come to the palace?" Mother Jia asked again with a smile.The old gardener was stunned.He hesitated to speak, and dared not say another word for a long time.Shui Cheng's heart skipped a beat: "Old Wang, do you know something?" The old gardener covered his face with tears in his eyes and began to sob. After a while, he put down his hand, and suddenly he knelt down again with a plop, crying loudly: " Prince... Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan, she died so badly! And the former Empress also died at the hands of King Zhongshun!" The old gardener broke down in tears.Shui Cheng was really thundering at this moment, unable to recover for a long time.Jia's mother shook her head, although Shui Chenggui is a prince, but the trials and tribulations he has experienced are still few, and some people can't afford it for a while. "Old Wang, get up and speak slowly!" The old gardener stood up while wiping away his tears.

"That year, the old slave followed the old prince of Beijing back from the expedition. The old prince entered the palace to receive the reward and took the old slave with him. Later, the late emperor and the old prince went to the Imperial Garden together. The old slave was the old prince at that time. The lieutenant next to the prince, the old prince asked the old slave to follow him. When he arrived at the imperial garden, because the old slave liked to tend flowers and plants, he couldn't move his feet when he saw exotic flowers and plants. The former emperor didn't blame him when he saw it, so he I asked the old slave if he would like to stay in the palace. The old slave forgot his shape at the time, so he nodded without permission. The old prince was so angry that he said that my nature was hard to change, so the old slave stayed in the palace like this. One day, the old slave The slave was tending flowers and plants in the imperial garden. A maid from the palace came to the old slave and asked if there was a strange flower called poppies. The old slave knew that this flower was a poisonous flower, so he replied no. The nurse Mammy asked where it was, and the old slave said casually, maybe there was one in the Western Regions, and that mammy went away. Not long after, news came from the palace that Concubine Wan was seriously ill, and even the imperial doctor was helpless. .After Concubine Wan left, an old slave passed by Yunxia Palace due to business, but he saw several pots of poppies on the window sill of the palace. The old slave was very strange at that time. Although the poppies were extremely beautiful, they had Strange poison. How could it be put in the house like this? A few years later, I heard that the first empress had the same strange disease as Concubine Wan... The old slave thought it was too suspicious, how could the two empresses have the same disease After the empress left, one time, the old slave quietly went to the imperial hospital to ask the imperial physician who treated the two empresses at that time. The result proved that the old slave's guess was correct, and the two empresses were poisoned by poppies. Die... The old slave was also frightened and stupid at the time, because he was afraid of being discovered and silenced, so he found an opportunity to escape. Fortunately, the old slave was not from the palace, so no one in the palace tracked him down. Until the emperor ascended the throne, the prince I also have my own mansion..." After the old gardener finished speaking, he broke down in tears.With tears streaming down his face, Shui Cheng suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his head to the sky and shouted "Concubine Mu~!" Jia Mu shook her head and sighed.After a while, he stood up and looked at Jia Mu begging for help: "Old ancestor...!" Jia Mu was also very sad and indignant: "My lord..." "Old ancestor, you can call me like you call your grandchildren from now on! " Shui Cheng cried. "How can this be done! Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do my best to help my lord!" "Old ancestor..." Shui Cheng put his head on Jia Mu's lap, tears never shed.
