The Marquis of Nankang was walking among the princes, and Liancheng hurriedly came to report that his wife got into the car and was sent to the place prepared by Cao Xiwan.
Marquis Nankang nodded.
Liancheng watched carefully and did not dare to say a good word for Cao Xiwan like before. When the time came, Li Guogong was in the front, fearing that outsiders would hear the joke.
Secondly, the Yan family members had just been discouraged by Qing Niangzi and had lost face. They would stay quiet for a while and did not dare to compete with his company chief manager for the limelight.
Indeed, he had teamed up with Cao Xiwan over the years to drive away Master Yan. After all, once Master Yan was favored, he would accompany the Marquis, go in and out of the study and take charge of secrets, and Liancheng was also the one whose status was threatened.
He mounted his horse and retreated to the ranks of the Yulin Guards, following the cavalry. Shen Qian had already been greeted, so naturally he would not chase him away.
Liancheng pondered on the horse and went back to the Criminal Department Yamen to copy a copy of Feng Xiaochu's case file, so as to avoid Cao Xiwan nagging him and saying that he was not friendly enough.
"Xiao Chu should be able to practice after she recovers. I want her to get off the hook and be my companion."
"Isn't there Lou Xiliu? You say every day that she is your number two thug."
"Xiliu is different."
"...What's different?"
"Xiliu wants to be the master of Biying Palace."
"...Can you please stop encouraging her? Isn't it good for her to be an aunt?"
"Scared, you just said that Xiliu was my thug. Did you think that I was going to leave the Hou Mansion, so you didn't get along with me? You are so heartless! I will become a noble concubine later, so don't come to beg me!"
Manager Lian Er was meditating on the horse, what are the chances of Qing Niang becoming the imperial concubine? Fortunately, the wind and snow were getting stronger and the wind was blowing cold. He suddenly realized, bad, he had been tricked by Qing Niang again! She was making fun of him. Let’s play!
The Prince of Qin was also suffering from the wind and snow. In his sleeve was a hot chicken leg wrapped in oil paper.
But he was Dai Zongzheng, walking in the front alongside the East Palace.
Li Shuyu sighed and secretly cursed Wen Ruo. Wensheng was not good at being an errand. He was too cold. How could he eat chicken drumsticks in front of Dong Gong? No!
Li Shuyu's eyes circled around the East Palace, and then looked at the little grandson who was being held by the East Palace. He did not notice that there was the puppet Feng Junqing mentioned around the East Palace.
What kind of secret is the so-called puppet in the palace? He looked at Eunuch Wenruo very displeasedly, and he came over with a warm food box and brought tea to the prince.
The prince first paid respects to the East Palace and the young grandson, and then took a few mouthfuls of tea secretly added with hot wine.
The weather was too cold. Vincent added some wine for him to warm him up.
"Your Majesty, maybe it's not Marquis Nankang who made the puppet at all?" Wen Ruo and Wen Sheng quietly reported to the Crown Prince.
"I don't care about this, I have to at least take a look to believe it."
"The Lu family has one."
"Gu has already seen it secretly. She can walk, but she is a mute and deaf woman who walks slowly. Isn't she a beauty with leg problems? Gu doesn't believe it."
Wen Ruo secretly sighed that when he went to see her, the female puppet could not walk normally at all. It had only been a few months since she was able to walk.
"Good nephew." Dai Wang suddenly came over, "This is not possible, we have to find a place to rest. We will wait until the wind and snow pass."
The Prince of Qin quickly swallowed the tea and wine: "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, there is a Tutu Temple in front of you." He looked at Wen Ruo again.
Wen Ruo said quickly: "Go back to the prince, come back to the prince. I went to see the place with my own eyes a few days ago. Although the place is small, it is still clean. I originally wanted to rent it, but the people from the East Palace occupied it first - no, the female officials of the East Palace have always been diligent. Serve your duties faithfully and make arrangements well in advance."
The little grandson pricked up his ears and heard it. His feet hurt so much. His mother-in-law was not here, and neither was Song Empress. He didn’t know who to talk to.
Dong Gong lowered his head and glanced at his legitimate son.
Among the ranks of princes, Nankang Hou also glanced at Liancheng.
Steward Lian Er was always paying attention to the Marquis, and immediately received this look. He hurriedly dismounted and came over: "What are the orders from the Marquis?"
"Has the government made arrangements?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, Qin Baihu and his people all left the Hou Mansion and went back halfway."
Marquis Nankang nodded slightly and sneered in his heart. There must be a spy in his house. Otherwise, how could the secrets in the tunnel be spread?
Now, if he is captured and executed, the Prince of Qin’s Palace will know how to restrain himself!
Nankang Hou Mansion.
Second bedroom.
Nanzhi hurried back to her room. She calmed down a bit. She was almost discovered on the corridor near the study room outside the second door just now.
"No, this will be discovered sooner or later. The house has changed recently." He murmured to himself.
Since the Qingluo female ghost left the mansion and entered the palace, the patrol schedule in the mansion has been quietly adjusted.
Is it Qin Baihu, the stunning swordsman, who is presiding over it now? Yes, Qingluo has been seriously ill for more than two years. He gets together with Qingluo female ghost every day. Is it because he wants to get married? Nanzhi sneered, Qingluo
Luo Nvgui just guided Qin Meng hand in hand. Now Qin Meng is already experienced in matters in the house.
Nanzhi smiled disdainfully and sat down to do needlework. The Qingluo female ghost still chose the wrong person. Qin Baihu was a man and could not control the inner house no matter what.
Small value room.
Mother Luo discussed with Grandma Song and reported back to Qin Baihu: "It must be the inner ghost."
"Those are the girls and wives in each room." He said calmly, "Compared to Qing Niangzi, this is the only difference between me and Qing Niangzi."
Mother Luo and Grandma Song looked at each other and smiled: "Don't worry, sir."
Granny Song is old and has seen a lot. She has long figured out that if Qin Meng had not partnered with Luo Mofeng for several years and had a good relationship, Lady Qing might not have chosen him.
The Guard Department is different from the City Patrol Department. The leader of the Guard Department is in the Marquis Mansion and works under the nose of the Shangguan. He can easily become the Marquis' confidant. Su Jintian has been doing this for half a year before. But he is partnered with Qing Niangzi.
If you can't partner with a female fan, you can't do this job.
At least, Mrs. Qing would not trust her confidants in the house to others to take care of her. Of course, she took a fancy to Mama Luo.
Maybe she took a fancy to Luo Mofeng first and then noticed Qin Meng.
suburbs.
Earth Temple.
"Sister Hong, Sister Hong, where is the imperial doctor I hired?" In addition to the Taoist Taoist priest, Sister Hong, whom Cao Xiwan had a habit of employing, was also in the Tutu Temple.
"Going to the back to collect medicine."
"Collecting medicine?"
"Yes. Madam Cao, do you want to change into warm shoes? There are five pairs of new cotton shoes baked in each room." As soon as the curtain was lifted, Sister Hong came out with a white belt tied around her waist and a hot water bottle in her hand.
This was the first time in Sister Hong's life that she had seen people in the palace and the Prince of the East Palace! She became more diligent and cautious.
Miss Cao reminded me that the wages are three times, which is only half a month. But be careful. If you offend an unreasonable nobleman, you will be slapped with a blackboard.
"I won't die, because it's a national mourning and I don't dare to kill anyone. If I'm here, it's only a minor injury and I'll get three blows at most. Do you want to come?"
"Come!" Sister Hong gritted her teeth, "My eldest child is going to school. My second child also wants to go. It's cheaper to go to school. But I need to prepare two bundles for spring."
"Your second child is a girl, right?"
"This child... is annoying. She bothers her brother every day to go to school, and she also needs to be literate. I can't help it."
"Ms. Cao, I baked the leather boots you left here and can replace them." Sister Hong didn't like to make a sound. She only got to know Cao Xiwan, so she whispered.
Eunuch Lou had a keen eye and could tell that this servant girl was a taciturn and cautious person, so he was relieved.
He refused to change into warm shoes, fearing that they would not be enough for the nobles.
He counted on his fingers: "There are only a few cottages on the road nearby. How many princes and princesses can't let them in? The old bachelors in the cabinet and the East Palace are also respectful. If they are not allowed to enter, the East Palace will not come in either.
Rest."
He just asked the young eunuchs to change into dry socks and have some hot tea. Then he went out and went up the official road to meet Donggong and Liangdi.
Cao Xiwan has been prepared for a long time. She will not imitate Eunuch Lou.
Even if the emperor comes, she can't stop her determination to maintain her health and live a sufficient life. Others are not worth mentioning.
