The courtyard is filled with the rising sun, but due to the location, the sunlight cannot shine into the house through the glass windows. c, Rong Zheng sat behind the marble desk with her head slightly lowered, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible.
She briefly told Cui Shangzhou what happened yesterday afternoon.
After Cui Shangzhou heard this, he became furious: "This is nothing."
Instead, Rong Zheng advised Cui Shangzhou: "Master Qi, please don't be angry and put other things aside for now.
I'm just particularly worried about Jun Hua.
The nightmares last night were all bad signs, but he is too far away from us.
Afraid of being out of reach.”
Cui Shangzhou thought that no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to reach into the military camp.
"No matter how inferior the prince is to a beast, he wouldn't kill his brother."
Rong Zheng said: "I don't know how true what he said is, so I need Master Qi to help me."
Cui Shangzhou hurriedly said: "Grandma, please give me your instructions."
Rong Zheng said unhurriedly: "I just want Master Cui Qi to help me investigate secretly to see how much ability the Crown Prince has.
How much background there is in the northwest camp.
If there is someone behind the Crown Prince, please help Let me check who that person is."
"Is that all?"
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Only by understanding these first can we know whether the prince is bluffing people or whether he is really cruel.
I really want to think of a way to deal with him."
Cui Shangzhou said: "Okay, I will find out the truth.
But before I find out, I hope that grandma will not act rashly and do not act recklessly."
Rong Zheng said: "I know.
It happened that the princess here said that she was going to stay at Yuntai Temple for a few days, so I took the opportunity to hide away.
It seems that the princess is not willing to go for the princess's birthday at the end of the month.
No matter what happens, I choose to be with the princess, and no one else can do anything to me."
Cui Shangzhou said: "Grandma, please take care of yourself.
The princess has also taken great care of her."
"She is my eldest aunt, and now she lives at home.
We should take care of each other.
Master Qi doesn't need to give special instructions.
I don't dare to mention this matter to the princess.
I will tell her after I have a conclusion in the future. ” Cui Shangzhou nodded and said, "It's okay, the princess is frail and sick after all."
Cui Shangzhou got Rongzheng's order and went to investigate Mu Jing's details.
Although Mu Jing is a playboy without any real power, he has a shining identity and has many capable people under his command.
From staff to guards, it is somewhat difficult to investigate Mu Jing's affairs.
Fortunately, Cui Shangzhou was very familiar with the palace, so he planned to start with the palace first, starting with the people closest to Mu Jing.
Rong Zheng spent the next days feeling uneasy.
She was afraid that Mu Jing would do anything again, so she almost never left the villa.
If something happened in the shop or the village, she would only ask the person in charge to come to the villa to report it to her.
Not to mention these two places, she didn't even dare to go back to the Rong family and the Qi family.
Before going to Yuntai Temple, Rong Zheng went to the study to find several scriptures and copied them at his desk in Qingyin Hall every day.
Strangely enough, my originally chaotic thoughts found peace in the process of copying scriptures.
The princess always praised Rong Zheng for her good calligraphy when she met her, and she couldn't help but ask her to write two scrolls for herself.
On April 17, the palace sent people to invite the princess and Rong Zheng to return to the palace to stay for a few days.
The person who came was none other than Concubine Yan’s companion, Nanny You.
No matter how much Duan Hui didn't like the people in the palace, he still had to give the concubine some face.
Received her personally.

Grandma You is dressed in gold, silver and silk.
Her behavior and style are no different from those of a wife from a wealthy family.
The princess gave her a thumbs up, and she was very pleased with it.
"The second aunt and grandma are back.
The princess and the princess are very happy these days.
It happens that the princess's birthday is coming, so I asked the old slave to come here and ask the princess and the eldest grandma to go back and stay for a few days."
Duan Hui said with a smile: "It's hard work for grandma to come and go.
It's just that I'm not feeling well here, and the doctor said that I need to have a good health and rest.
I have already made an agreement with the abbot of Yuntai Temple, and I plan to go to Qingxin to rest for a while."
Aunt You said in surprise: "Then the princess doesn't plan to go back?"
Duan Hui said: "The princess's birthday is a big event.
I will send someone to deliver birthday gifts.
It's just that I am a widow, so it is not appropriate to enter and leave these scenes."
Aunt You came according to Princess Yan's order.
She also knew that the princess was not happy with the siblings at Qixia Villa.
Now she saw the princess's refusal, which was also expected by her.
"What about grandma?
She has to go back home."
The princess said with a smile: "Grandma wants to accompany me to Yuntai Temple, but she won't go back."
"Grandma won't come back either."
Before she came, Grandma You thought that even if she couldn't invite the princess, she could at least invite Grandma, but now, it seems like nothing can be done.
The people in this villa are indeed a little aloof and arrogant.
No wonder the princess doesn't like it.
The princess said: "Yes, I have discussed it with her and she agreed.
If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
How dare you not doubt the princess's words, Nanny You said hurriedly: "I don't need it, old slave."
After a while, Duan Hui served tea to the guests.
After seeing off Aunt You, Duan Hui called Rong Zheng and discussed with her: "The people around the concubine came to invite us to go back to the house, but I have already refused.
But no matter how you say it, we are a family, and we have done a great job."
It doesn’t seem to be a good idea.
I’ve already asked someone to prepare a birthday gift.
You can prepare it for Junhua.”
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "It's a birthday gift for the princess, right?"
"Yes, you don't have to worry too much.
Just respond to the occasion.
It's such a generous gift, and maybe people won't even take a look at it.
Is there anything else she lacks?
That's pretty much it."
Rong Zheng responded yes.
"By the way, you have been copying scriptures these days.
How many have you copied?"
"The Great Compassion Mantra has been copied, and only three volumes of the Shurangama Sutra have been copied."
Duan Hui smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be intelligent.
It doesn't matter if you haven't finished copying.
We can go to Yuntai Temple and copy slowly."

After returning from Jinxiuyuan, Rongzheng simply drew up a list and handed it to Ruyi: "Follow what is written on the list and see if there is any in the library.
If there is any, use what is in the library.
If not, now Let someone buy it and get it done before twenty."
Ruyi glanced at the list and saw that there were more than a dozen items written densely on it.
She nodded and said, "Grandma, don't worry."
Besides, Nanny You took the sedan chair back to the palace unsatisfactorily.
She went straight to Concubine Yan's Jingyiju.
At that time, Concubine Yan woke up from a nap.
Before she even entered the door, she heard laughter coming from inside.
Aunt You didn't dare to come forward and disturb her, and asked the maid in the corridor: "But who is coming?"
The maid replied: "I don't know, it's the Cui family's wife who is here."
"Are you the eldest wife or the fourth wife?"
"Both of you are here."
Grandma You thought no wonder, so she went to the ottoman to rest.
Here Mrs.
Cui is happily talking to Mrs.
Yan about old things from back then.
"That was still the eighth year of Taiping.
The old slave just raised our sister Xiu.
The younger brother and sister also got married not long ago.
They happened to come to celebrate the birthday of the princess.
The princess is still pregnant with the princess.
How long has it been?
Unexpectedly, more than twenty years have passed.
It seems that the concubine has not aged at all.
On the contrary, we, the younger generation, cannot watch her."
Concubine Yan has been enjoying herself all these years.
She doesn't have to worry about anything, and she doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law.
I also pay special attention to maintenance.
Although I am in my sixties, I really don’t look old.
The wrinkles on his face are also very light, and he looks like a man in his forties.
She was very satisfied with Mrs.
Cui's flattery and said with a smile: "After all, I am older, how can I compare with twenty or thirty years ago.
Mrs.
Cui now has a family full of children and grandchildren, so she should enjoy her blessings."
Mrs.
Cui said: "This old slave has nothing to do now.
My children and grandchildren will be happy for themselves.
Let them go.
Maybe I can live for two more years."
Mrs.
Cui added: "When the old slave saw the princess's pregnant appearance, he said that the princess's first child was a daughter.
My younger siblings said it was a son.
We even made a bet about this."
Concubine Yan smiled and said, "You two sisters-in-law are still betting on this matter."

Mrs.
Cui said with a smile: "Later, the princess gave birth to the princess, and I won two taels of silver from my younger siblings.
The younger siblings were convinced.
When the princess was pregnant with the princess, she looked so good, and her figure was not out of shape at all.
I heard that I had a good appetite.
It turned out that I was pregnant with a girl.
Later, when I was pregnant, I heard that I finally gave birth to a son after lying in bed for two months. " Mrs.
Min glanced at her sister-in-law and thought that the concubine had a lot of quarrels with the late princess back then.
The concubine was picky about her daughter-in-law in every possible way.
The late princess died, and the princess did not show much sadness.
Not long after, she asked the prince to marry her, and when the anniversary was over, she married her sister's daughter.
How could the sister-in-law be so indifferent and keep asking the concubine what the princess was doing?
Sure enough, Concubine Yan was still very interested.
When she heard that Mrs.
Cui had replaced the previous Chai family, she gradually showed some fatigue.
Mrs.
Cui finally received the message from her sister-in-law.
He just stopped mentioning anything about the late princess.
In the afternoon, the Cui family's sisters-in-law took the car home together.
In the car, Mrs.
Min said angrily: "What's wrong with my sister-in-law today?
Why did she suddenly talk to the concubine about the former princess?"
Mrs.
Cui said: "Didn't I talk to the concubine about things when I was young?
Gradually, we talked further.
At that time, the current concubine had not yet entered the palace, and the person she mentioned must be the Chai family who died young.
In fact, you also You know, I don’t like the current Wushi, so you can see that I’ve been in the house less than before.”
Mrs.
Min was also deeply impressed by Mrs.
Chai.
In her memory, Mrs.
Chai was a strong-willed and somewhat aloof woman.
I heard that he treats his servants very harshly.
Chai is the person chosen by the current Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother is naturally dissatisfied.
When Mrs.
Cui saw that she and Mrs.
Min were alone next to her, she started to speak a little unscrupulously.
She whispered to Mr.
Min: "Not long after Mrs.
Chai died, there were rumors that Mrs.
Chai died strangely.
What do you think is there?
Clues" Min didn't want to talk about these things and said, "I can see some clues."
Mrs.
Cui said: "There were many rumors at the beginning.

Mrs.
Chai was indeed a poor person.
She died at a young age.
Although she was a princess, she didn't seem to be that happy."
Mrs.
Min was a little confused when she heard this.
Her eldest sister-in-law had some friendship with Mr.
Chai at first.
Could it be that Mrs.
Chai had revealed something to her sister-in-law before?
After all, she couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked: "My sister-in-law could say a few words in front of the princess back then.
Is there anything suspicious about my sister-in-law?"
Mrs.
Cui is a very smart person, and some words are suitable to be buried in her heart for a lifetime.
Even now, she will not tell Mr.
Min her true thoughts.
She just said: "I am also thinking nonsense here.
Think about it, Chai clan Not long after she left, the people who served the princess were dismissed by the concubine for various reasons.
I heard that there was a incident of death, and a little maid was hanged in the group room, so I'm afraid it didn't happen.
So simple."
Min said: "When the princess returned to the palace to raise her baby, there was only one concubine in the palace.
The prince went to Beijing, but something unexpected happened at this juncture.
Could it be?"
Min thought about it and was a little frightened.
Mrs.
Cui hurriedly covered Min's mouth, shook her head and said: "Aru, some words are better left in the stomach.
Trouble comes from the mouth, so you have to be careful."
Min swallowed what he was about to say.
The two sisters were silent afterwards, but they understood each other tacitly.
The seeds of doubt were planted in their hearts.
Mrs.
Min hurriedly returned home.
She wanted to call her son, but the maid said that her Shang'er had left home early in the morning and had not returned yet.
Mrs.
Min asked her maid to change her clothes into homely clothes, and then she took Zhun'er's arm again.
Rest in bed.
The words she had with the eldest lady in the car still lingered in her mind.
I recalled all the events of that year scene by scene.
She also knew in her heart that her sister-in-law was the same person she suspected, but no matter how bad the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was, Chai was also a princess.
He also gave birth to his eldest son and daughter for the palace, and there was still another child in his belly at that time.
Concubine Yan doesn’t seem to be a very vicious woman.
Could she be cruel to her daughter-in-law?
Mrs.
Min broke out in a cold sweat, and she didn't dare to speculate on what happened further.
Cui Sangzhou came back before dinner.

When Mrs.
Min saw her son, she couldn't help but feel resentful and said angrily: "I heard that you left out early in the morning.
Why are you back now?
Where are you going?"
Cui Shangzhou naturally found it inconvenient to tell his mother that he was currently investigating some matters concerning the Crown Prince as entrusted by Rong Zheng.
Yun Danfeng said lightly: "I did a favor for a friend and ran away for a day."
Naturally, Mr.
Min didn't like it.
His face fell and he said, "You are still like this.
You never go back to your home.
Leave me alone at home."
Cui Shangzhou said: "Didn't mother go to the palace with the aunt today to play cards with the concubine?
How is mother's luck today?"
Min said: "I touched a few in the afternoon, and you know that I lose nine times out of ten.
Wherever I win, I don't get any money.
Stop talking, your aunt almost offended the concubine today."
"Hey, how could that happen?"
"Your aunt kept pushing the princess's affairs in front of the concubine, which made the concubine feel unhappy.
She was bored for a long time, and it was only when your aunt and I deliberately let the concubine win money when we were playing cards in the afternoon that she came around. " Cui Shangzhou smiled slightly.
Min continued: "Son, I'm holding something back in my heart and I can't find anyone to say it to, and I feel very uncomfortable."
"If mother has anything to say, you might as well tell me."
When Mrs.
Min saw that there was no one else around, she whispered to Cui Shangzhou: "Shang'er, your aunt and I both suspect that the concubine killed the late princess."
Cui Sangzhou was petrified there and did not recover for a long time
