Chapter 273 Continue to Check Down (Third)
In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager was listening to Nanny Wu's reply.

Going out of the palace to An Guo Gong's mansion, what happened, what happened, and everything is detailed.

Grandma Wu cheered up, said something, thought about it, and said something again.

She knew that Eunuch Xu was missing, and she also knew that people from Yongning Hou's mansion went to Loukong, and she could vaguely grasp some outlines of some things that she couldn't figure out in An Guogong's mansion yesterday.

The empress dowager listened for a while, and asked: "In your opinion, is Qi's daughter-in-law lost or bewitched?"

Grandma Wu shuddered.

In truth, there seems to be some clues.

Everyone in An Guogong's mansion had a bad attitude, and only Miss Qin was left in His Highness's bedroom.

However, there is no evidence other than blame.

As it was about the princess and the child in her womb, Nanny Wu didn't want to ruin it with her own random deduction.

After all, to be honest, there are many strange things in the palace.

It's a mess if you blame it.

"Your maidservant didn't see it," said Wumao. "From the maidservant's conversation and getting along with the second concubine, she thinks clearly and speaks eloquently."

It's just that she has a bad temper, and she doesn't care whether her thinking is right or wrong. Anyway, she just does what she thinks, and if it's right, she's not confused.

"Unnecessary things..." The Empress Dowager murmured, "Yes, Ai Jia remembered, before you set off yesterday, Xu Liu went to the backyard, what did he do?"

Grandma Wu repeated what Eunuch Xu said at that time in detail.

"I listened to it at the time, and it did make some sense," said Wumao. "Now that I think about it, it doesn't feel right. Eunuch Xu is asking us to deliberately pick on the temper of the prince and concubine. Yes, if the prince and concubine and Miss Qin If something happens, Eunuch Xu will be able to..."

Nanny Wu didn't go on with the rest.

The empress dowager took several shots again in anger, swallowing the words in her throat in fright.

It turned out that this was originally designed by the emperor.

Later, after hearing the nonsense of the demon named Deng, he ordered Xu Liu to attack.

The results of it?
Xu Liu is still missing.

Deng Yaodao was beaten up by Zhao Qi, he deserved it!
"This matter," the empress dowager sighed, "if I knew about it before you set off, there might be nothing left to do."

Grandma Wu couldn't help but pursed her lower lip.

Yesterday, when Concubine Shu asked about it, they said everything.

It was Concubine Shu who didn't mention it to the Empress Dowager.

She originally wanted to say this, but she swallowed it instead.

I don't know what happened afterwards, but only listened to Eunuch Xu's words, she and Madam Zheng didn't hear anything wrong, and Concubine Shu didn't hear anything wrong either, it's normal.

Concubine Shu is a celebrity in front of the empress dowager, she relies on her gentle and sensible nature, not by spreading rumors or making arrangements.

After listening to it, it was not mentioned, which is not unusual.

Concubine Shu is not only gentle with her, she is also very kind to these nuns and maids.

Since the Empress Dowager didn't blame them, why would she involve Concubine Shu in it?
Wu Momo lowered her eyes and said, "It's because the slaves didn't think carefully."

The empress dowager does not blame herself.

She was thinking of something else.

Up to now, the emperor's clues have been straightened out, but she still doesn't know at what step the Yongning Hou Mansion saw the clues, so that everyone withdrew.

After thinking about it, the empress dowager doubted this and ruled out that.

After repeated several times, a beautiful smiling face remained in her mind.

Concubine Shu.

The empress dowager asked: "Concubine Shu went to the backyard to find Xu Liu?"

"Yes," Nanny Wu said, "The emperor has returned to the imperial study, but Eunuch Xu didn't follow, so Concubine Shu came to inform him."

The Empress Dowager asked again: "Concubine Shu heard what Xu Liu told you?"

Grandma Wu was taken aback.

Concubine Shu didn't hear it, but Concubine Shu asked.

But she just decided not to mention it, so of course she won't talk too much now.

Grandma Wu told the truth, in half: "As soon as Concubine Shu came over from the Moon Cave Gate, the servants saw her and saluted her.

Eunuch Xu turned his back to him, and when he saw the servants greeting the other side, he stopped talking and turned around to say hello.

The empress came over and told about the emperor's departure.

Eunuch Xu kept his voice low, judging by the servants, it was impossible for the empress to hear at that distance. "

Hearing what Madam Wu said, the Empress Dowager's heart sank.

Concubine Shu's suspicion can be temporarily ruled out.

This made the empress dowager much more comfortable.

After all, it is the person she has doted on for so many years, if he is a spy with a sinister mind, how can she be embarrassed!

Asking Grandma Wu to retreat and continue to take care of Jin Shu'er, the Empress Dowager asked Grandma Xia, "Have you found out the reason for the flood in Changning Palace?"

If you don't investigate what you said to the emperor, you can only investigate a scapegoat, but the empress dowager will not really not investigate.

She is in the harem, and the only thing she can grasp with her hands is the harem.

The emperor is different, the emperor can do a lot of things, priorities, Changning Palace is the slowest one.

Madam Xia replied: "The empress is investigating, and the progress is not optimistic."

The fire burned through, and there was a lot of chaos during the rescue, and it rained heavily in the second half of the night. This happened again and again, and even if there were clues, they were almost washed away.

It is indeed not easy.

The Empress Dowager pressed her eyebrows: "Let the Empress come here."

After not waiting for long, Empress Cheng arrived at the Palace of Compassion.

After respectfully saluting, she raised her head, and the Empress Dowager saw deep exhaustion on her face.

They all stayed up all night, and Empress Cheng's condition was not much better than hers.

"The body is also an important matter." The empress dowager said politely.

Empress Cheng responded with kindness, and did not exchange pleasantries with the Empress Dowager, and said straight to Changning Palace: "There are no signs of man-made so far."

The empress dowager frowned: "The empress means..."

"It's very likely that it was caused by lightning." The Queen said.

Thunder fell and burned the palace, extremely ominous.

What's more, those three prefectures have absconded, and the appearance of rebellion is clearly displayed.

At this time, let the civil and military officials and the people of Gyeonggi know that the flood in Changning Palace was caused by thunder...

Absolutely not!

"Check, continue to check," the empress dowager said in a deep voice, "If you don't understand, let the third division come here!"

A scapegoat is a scapegoat, at least one must be brought out!
Empress Cheng didn't argue with the empress dowager, she asked her to investigate, she continued to investigate, agreed with everything she said, and then got up to leave.

The Empress Dowager waved.

When Empress Cheng walked to the floor covering, the Empress Dowager suddenly called her: "Lin Xuan's widow, is it your cousin or cousin?"

"Cousin," Empress Cheng replied very calmly, "Originally they belong to the same clan, but before it was passed down to my generation and hers, the five clothes have already been released, and the two families have no relationship.

When I visited Jiangling when I was young, I met her and recognized her as a sister.

It was right in front of you. "

Having said that, the Empress Dowager also remembered.

One was the wife chosen by her husband for her son, and the other was Zhao Gui's handkerchief, and they met right in front of her eyes.

Later, Empress Cheng went home, and she wanted to meet again after she got married and became the middle palace.

In my impression, Lin Xuan's wife rarely entered the palace, especially after being widowed, she never came to the palace for several years.

This pair of cousins ​​should be extremely unfamiliar.

　I didn't expect that in the last three days of the end of the month, there will be a monthly ticket target activity at the starting point...

　　Set up a small goal and ask for a monthly ticket~~
　　See you guys tomorrow.
