Last time in Nanyuan, she told Yan Ling that she dreamed that something bad happened to his mother, so he arranged for Ji Sanniang to stay with Princess Zhao.
"Princess." Ji Sanniang came in to greet her.
Because Princess Zhao was around, Yan Ling found it difficult to distinguish between calling her Madam, so she simply called her Princess. What's more, the Duke's wife was married to him, but the Princess was earned by her own solid military exploits. This is true.
of glory.
Xu Yin nodded with a smile and asked her: "How are you doing lately? Your two sworn brothers have gone to the front line, so they must be very worried."
Ji Sanniang said, "It's been almost a month, and I don't know what's going on. It's a pity that I can't go with you." Then she realized and quickly explained, "Don't be surprised, Princess, I just miss my sworn brother, and I will never neglect my errands.
"
"It doesn't matter, don't I understand what kind of person you are?" Xu Yin said, handing her a battle report, "Your sworn brother is mentioned here, let's take a look."
Ji Sanniang took it and read it over and over again. She couldn't help but smile and replied gratefully: "Thank you very much, Princess. It's not easy to write letters from the front line. I finally got their news."
Xu Yin nodded and said, "I called you here today because I wanted to ask about my mother's situation."
Ji Sanniang expressed her understanding: "Princess Princess, please tell me."
"I want to know if my mother has made any enemies in the past year, even one-sided."
Ji Sanniang thought about it for a moment and shook her head: "The princess is kind to people. Whether it is the ladies, the servants, or the people, she has always been kind and harmonious."
This was what Xu Yin thought, so she then asked: "What about Concubine Liu?"
Ji Sanniang was stunned: "What do you mean..."
"How does Concubine Liu treat the princess? Don't talk superficially. You are a person who travels in the world, and you have your own way of judging people."
Ji Sanniang thought for a moment and reported: "Since the princess said so, then my subordinates should speak out. Concubine Liu is too close to the princess, and I feel that it is not normal."
"What does it mean to be abnormal?"
Ji Sanniang analyzed it carefully: "Although Concubine Liu has a noble status, everything she has now can be regarded as given by the princess. I remember that before the false emperor usurped the throne, Concubine Liu was in charge of the phoenix seal of the late emperor's harem. It can be said that
She is a queen with no real name. And what about the princess? In the past, she was just a wife, but now she controls her destiny. The gap is so big that even people with the best temperament will find it uncomfortable. This is reflected in their actions, most of which are more than polite.
Not close enough."
Xu Yin agreed: "It's one thing to feel grateful, but most likely I don't want to see her be so proud."
"Yes. If the relationship between the two is very good, perhaps feelings will overcome this mentality, but as far as my subordinates know, Concubine Liu and the princess can only be regarded as old acquaintances."
Xu Yin was thoughtful. That's right. The Great Concubine had a good relationship with Princess Zhao, not Concubine Liu.
Ji Sanniang continued: "My subordinates followed the princess and saw that Liu Taifei and the princess were getting along with each other, but they were so intimate that there was no barrier, even a little deliberately. According to what I saw, only those who want something in their hearts
, to do such unreasonable behavior. And Concubine Liu is the former emperor and concubine. She will have no other future at all. She only needs to maintain a relationship that is neither close nor far away from the princess. There is no need to please. "
Xu Yin understood and told her: "The princess has not returned to Beijing for many years, and her old friends have all dispersed. Liu Taifei deliberately made friends with each other, so it is inevitable that she will become close to her. Follow the princess and pay special attention. If anything goes wrong, come and report it immediately.
I."
Ji Sanniang should have said: "Princess, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely live up to their trust."
After asking about this, Xu Yin called the staff again: "I remember that on the day Mrs. Liu and the princess met, someone molested Miss Liu. Have you checked it out?"
The staff member replied: "Your Majesty was magnanimous. He asked about what happened, and after confirming that nothing happened, he was released. We sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him."
"Keep looking." Xu Yin frowned and said, "Even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you still have to look for it."
"yes."
In addition to the people from Yanling, Xu Yin also called Wen Yi. He had been staying in the capital since the year before last, and his intelligence work was impressive.
Both sides investigated at the same time, almost turning the entire capital upside down, leaving the dandies confused and frightened.
Who committed the crime? Why did Jin Wuwei come to the door if he caused a little trouble during this period. To let them know, he must be sent away first. Why should he not let others idle around?
After such a vigorous search, finally, half a month later, news came through.
"Princess, please." In the manor on the outskirts, the master respectfully asked Xu Yin to sit down.
Xu Yin sat down behind the screen: "Take someone with you."
"yes."
Soon, a young man with oily hair and pink face was brought in, with a look of horror on his face.
"Kneel down!" The master ordered, and the young master was pressed down. "Tell me, what happened that night?"
The young man was trembling with fear: "Master, I didn't do anything! Hasn't that story already been over? I haven't even touched that girl's little hand!"
The boss sneered: "You are still pretending, who told you about molesting girls? If you are not honest, do you want to taste the taste of being punished?"
He was not polite and directly asked someone to bring the execution bench.
The young man almost wet his pants when he looked at all the terrifying instruments of torture, and shouted: "No, I didn't do anything else! My lord, my lord, please be merciful!"
This man was really not intimidated. As soon as he was placed on the torture bench, he screamed like a slaughtering pig: "What did the official want me to say? I just said, don't beat me. I am weak and sick, so I really can't be beaten!"
The chief officer saw that he was frightened and had no psychological defense at all. He also lost interest in extracting a confession. He shouted: "That night was really the first time you met those two people? That was Tianjie, and your family had no foundation.
Hou, where do you have the courage to tease a good family in Tianjie? Come to me honestly, otherwise you will suffer!"
The young master glanced at him timidly: "Master, that person is now the concubine..."
The manager was experienced and knew what he was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth. He continued to sneer: "She is the late emperor's concubine and will never leave the palace in the future. Do you think she can still settle accounts with you?"
The young master was awakened by him, and immediately lost all worries, and immediately confessed: "I said, I said!"
So he poured out the bamboo tube like beans.
This young man's family was an ordinary wealthy one. A few days before New Year's Eve, he went to a brothel to spend money. He spilled all his money and was beaten up by his family without giving him any money.
For a person who is used to spending a lot of money, it would be very difficult to have no money. Just when he was hesitating and not daring to enter the brothel, someone came to him.
"A man, about forty years old, who looked like a servant of someone, asked me to do something, and I would be paid for it."
The manager glanced at the screen and took out a portrait: "Is it him?"
The young master took a closer look and nodded repeatedly: "It's him!"
The boss let out a breath and asked someone to take him down.
The young master shouted: "Is everything okay? Master, can I leave?"
After the door was closed, the host handed the portrait to the screen: "Princess, it is indeed as you thought."
The person in the portrait is none other than Concubine Liu’s coachman.
