The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 214 Do as the princess says

——Minghuaxuan.

Qingtao brought Xuemei and Dongxue to Minghuaxuan, which forced Ye Ming to stop him and asked, "Girl Qingtao, who are you?"

Not to mention Qingtao, Xuemei and Dongxue have already started to move tables and set up pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the yard.

Qingtao said with a stern face: "This is the order of the princess. Everyone in Minghuaxuan lined up to come to me for questioning."

"Inquire?" Ye Ming frowned and said, "What can we inquire about?" Besides, they are the guards next to the prince, so it's not Qingtao's turn to interrogate them, right?
Here Xuemei and Dongxue have already started working on it. Dongxue has read books and writes beautifully, so Dongxue is in charge of drafting the book, Qingtao is in charge of questioning, and Xuemei is in charge of supervision and doing chores.

Faced with Ye Ming's doubts and dissatisfaction, Qingtao said indifferently: "The princess said that if anyone has any doubts, they can go to the prince to discuss it."

Ye Ming: "..."

Who dares to theory?But after thinking about it, I still feel that I should report to the prince before making a decision.

This was not just an inquiry of Minghuaxuan, but the housekeeper of Minghuaxuan didn't dare to investigate, so he asked Qingtao to bring someone to investigate.

The investigation on the steward's side was conducted by the thirteen people, as long as they were registered in the palace, they must not be missed.

Ye Ming was about to report to the lord, but saw that Qing Xing was the first person to be questioned.

After some hesitation, I decided to go to the study to ask.

When he arrived at the study, Ye Ming cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the concubine's people are checking the population in our courtyard."

Yan Sihan was reviewing the memorial, and he didn't even lift his head after hearing it, and responded somewhat perfunctorily and indifferently: "Well, go, if there are those who don't follow, they will be kicked out of the palace and never hired."

Ye Ming raised his head and said with a look of incredulity, "Huh?"

"……Yes."

Seeing the prince's indifferent look, Ye Ming pursed his lips: If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come.

Qingtao was asking questions here, the first sentence was name and age, and then she began to ask how she came to the palace, whether it was a child born at home or bought from outside, she had to explain clearly one by one.

Most of the maids who can work in Minghuaxuan are the sons of Zhennan Prince's family, just like Qingxing's A Niang is the personal maid of Zhennan Princess, her heels and feet are clear and clean.

The guards were all from the original Zhennan Wangfu and Lingfu Bieyuan, and both of them now belong to the staff of the Department of Internal Guard.

Ye Ming and Ye Feng had been by the Prince Regent's side since they were young. They were born in the other garden of the Ling Mansion. They belonged to the Department of Internal Security and were not under the control of the head of the Department of Internal Security. They were sent by the Prince Regent.

After a round of investigation, there is no doubtful person in Minghuaxuan, but there is a sweeping maid, Chunjuan, who was bought from outside. Her mother was originally from the Zhennan Palace, but she has been released from the palace to marry.

Although Qingtao was familiar with Chunjuan, she still questioned her carefully.

"My father used to be the janitor of the Gu family, but now he does odd jobs in a restaurant, and my mother weaves some fabrics at home and sells them for money." Chunjuan said very seriously.

Dongxue quickly remembered what Chunjuan said.

Then Qingtao asked: "How did you enter the mansion?"

Asked this question, Chunjuan's expression changed, she seemed a little sad: "My aunt gave birth to three younger brothers, and the family couldn't afford them, so she sold me to work in the palace. The concubine waited in front of me, and the old concubine sent me, sister Qing Xing and the others over after the prince established the mansion."

He spoke clearly, without slurring or hesitating.

After a while, Dong Xue said, "It's all written."

The people in Minghuaxuan had finished asking questions, and it was time for them to go back to the concubine.
