Xia Xiaodong didn't pay much attention to Miss Jiang.
After chatting with Miss Qin Si for a while, he lay on the bed leaning on the stove and thinking about something.
What she was mainly thinking about was the Jiao Fangdian case.
No matter how you look at it, this seems weird and awkward.
On the other hand, although Concubine Chen Huang was favored, she didn't have much ability to be plotted.
Simply because she has no children.
Even though she was pampered to the heavens, Concubine Chen Huang was really a model of old age and beauty.
She had not had any children before and would never have any children in the future.
That means that while the emperor is alive, Concubine Chen Huanggui has no chance of becoming a queen, and when the emperor dies, Concubine Chen Huanggui can only become Concubine Chen Huanggui, without even having the title of queen mother.
To deal with such a person, the risks far outweigh the benefits.
The risk is obvious.
If it is discovered, the emperor will definitely be angry with both humans and gods, and the end will be worrying.
But what are the benefits?
At least Xia Xiaodong couldn't think of any benefits at this time.
Even if Concubine Chen Huang is favored by a Jiao Fang, what if this Jiao Fang not only has a fragrant and special taste, but also has a sex-supporting effect that Concubine Chen Huang does not use at all.
It is still a legend, and other things cannot be eaten.
If you can't wear it, what's there to stop?
What's more, even if it is blocked, it can only block Jiao Fang, but not the emperor's favor.
The emperor's favor is not just an ordinary favor in bed, but a true favor in the heart.
In addition to the puzzling target, there is another very strange person, the craftsman who confessed.
Of course, the craftsmen were not hired from outside.
They were not real men.
How could they have the opportunity to hang out in the emperor's backyard?
Not to mention craftsmen, even if the emperor's younger brother, son, or other male relative wanted to come to the harem, there were strict restrictions.
The most relaxed one is for the prince, but it is only within a limited area, and when he reaches a certain age, he must leave the palace and build another mansion to live in.
As for those princes, they could only think about the harem for a long time and burst into tears.
Who made him not grab the throne back then.
Even if Prince Gong wanted to meet the Empress Dowager Cixi, Ci'an would have to be there, as well as several maids and eunuchs, and a curtain would have to be hung in the middle.
Therefore, the craftsmen who work in Jiaofang Palace are actually eunuchs who serve as supervisors.
The person who claimed to have put the mercury dish into the Jiaofang Palace was of course also a eunuch.
From Xia Xiaodong's point of view, it was quite difficult to understand that this eunuch would be frightened into revealing his crimes.
The role of the craftsmen in this matter has always been the same as that of Concubine Chen, who was the victim.
After all, many people were injured.
In addition, although the people from the Criminal Investigation Department had strong voices and good interrogation skills, they never thought that an inconspicuous plate could contain mercury before this person confessed.
According to what Eunuch Du revealed, the Division of Shen Xing didn't pay much attention to this plate before.
If he saw it, he would probably just treat it as someone putting it away after eating.
Against this background, the craftsman's confession is intriguing.
After recruiting, the situation will only get worse, not better.
Combined with the fact that he was poisoned and died soon after, Xia Xiaodong believed that this man was more like a dead soldier with death aspirations.
These days, fools are common, but dead men are not common.
Death is the only solution through the ages.
This man died to illustrate the purpose of a plate Things won't be that simple.
Although the matter of Jiaofang Palace has nothing to do with Xia Xiaodong directly, as a lover of solving puzzles, and because this is the most popular gossip incident in recent times, Xia Xiaodong still thought about it endlessly for a long time, and gradually gained some understanding.
Feeling of drowsiness.
There was a slight movement outside.

Xia Xiaodong sat up, put on the soft-soled shoes he wore in the house, walked to the door and looked outside.
I saw someone struggling to bring a basin of water in and pouring it into the large water tank at the door of the clean room.
On weekdays, the ladies would wash their hands and wash their faces by themselves, scooping water from this large water tank.
Only when bathing, would someone else bring hot water to them.
But carrying water from outside and adding it to the water tank is a rough job for the palace ladies.
The person looked somewhat familiar, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Miss Jiang.
Xia Xiaodong was surprised.
According to Miss Qin Si, Miss Jiang has to take turns to serve in a job that does not actually take turns.
Xia Xiaodong thought that it should be limited to some light jobs.
After all, she was a lady.
Even if she was asked to do heavy work, she wouldn't be able to do it.
But carrying water With Miss Jiang's small body, if she was responsible for carrying water for everyone, she would probably be crushed in two days.
"How do you do this?"
Xia Xiaodong asked softly.
Miss Jiang raised her eyes to look at her, then suddenly lowered her hands feebly, turned the wooden basin filled with water over and slammed it on the ground, and then sat on the bottom of the wooden basin.
It seems that she is quite skilled at doing this, and she probably usually does it for a while and takes a break.
"Other houses don't need to do this."
After a while, Miss Jiang suddenly said: "This is it.
Miss Qin Si said that I have to do all the work."
Of course he deliberately tried to make things difficult for her.
Xia Xiaodong was choked for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Miss Qin Si really held a grudge and repaid her now, which made it difficult for Miss Jiang.
As she spoke, Miss Jiang knocked on the side of the wooden basin and said with a wry smile: "I can't lift the wooden bucket, so I'll just use basins, one basin after another.
Who makes me stupid?
He raised his head and looked over: "Xia Xiaodong, tell me, am I stupid?"
The light in the room was a bit dark, and Miss Jiang was sitting low.
Now when she raised her head, she saw two points of light shining slightly in the dark room, with a hint of moisture.
She looked like she was about to cry.
"Well, you are a bit stupid."
Xia Xiaodong tactfully replaced the word "stupid" with "silly" and said with a smile: "But if you know that you are stupid, you are not stupid enough."
A real idiot always thinks he is smart.
Only smart people will discover their own shortcomings.
Miss Jiang put her hands on her knees and struggled to stand up: "Actually, Miss Fang San told me that if I don't do a job like carrying water, even if Miss Qin Si makes a fuss, Zhongguan Cai will only know how to do it."
She said she had done enough and wouldn’t blame me.”
What Miss Fang San said seems to make sense.
Everything should be done in a degree.
Beyond this point, it is inappropriate.
For example, when Miss Jiang came back to Xia Xiaodong for the first time and wanted to change her house, she argued for a while, but whether she succeeded or not, it was still within the normal range.
But the second time, she threw Xia Xiaodong's things out, which crossed the line.
If you cross the line, you will be punished.
The status of Miss Jiang and Xiu Nu remains the same, but the things she does change, which is equivalent to a short-term demotion in disguise.
As for how short or long this short term is, it all depends on her performance.
Now that Miss Jiang has been punished, Miss Qin Si further requires her to do heavy work, which is equivalent to her level being lowered even lower.
Then, the one who crossed the line was Miss Qin Si
