Chapter 10 Exploring the Empress in Love

"Your Majesty, you are kind," Aunt Su smiled bitterly at Gu Qinghua, and said, "But please think about it, Your Majesty, since Xiaodie is a member of the Clothes Bureau, and Aunt Jian Zhu wants to teach her a lesson, so naturally she should be in the Clothes Bureau." In the palace, there is no reason not to choose a place to beat the slaves in the palace casually, and it is a coincidence that His Majesty bumped into them! The servant asked Xianglin, Xiaodie was crying and begging for mercy, it seemed unintentional, But thinking about it now, all of them are touching His Majesty and deliberately attracting His Majesty's attention!"

Gu Qinghua froze, pretending to be listening and contemplating, but in her heart she could only complain, this was the first time she had heard of this, what could she say?After thinking about it, she could only turn her eyes to Xianglin, only to find that Xianglin's eyes were in a daze, and her face turned blue and white.So she couldn't help but sink.

Xianglin was thinking about what happened that day, and suddenly found that what Aunt Su said was very reasonable.

That day, Xiaodie was beaten under a long corridor leading to the imperial garden. At that time, she was crying miserably, begging for mercy, saying that she and her cousin, childhood sweethearts, were separated from each other after entering the palace. It's just a letter from my brother, I won't dare to do it again, I beg my aunt to spare my life and so on.When she saw and heard these things at the time, she naturally fell in love with the scene, thinking that she and the prince's brother are not the same as Xiaodie and her cousin?So I couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy for each other, and seeing Xiaodie's delicate and timid appearance again, without thinking about it, I ordered the real Xianglin to go forward and stop the vicious Aunt Jianzhu, and brought Xiaodie back to Zichen Palace !
Thinking about it now...

Her heart was cold.

Gu Qinghua coughed lightly twice, called back Xiang Lin who was in a daze, and said, "Since this is the case, Aunt Su will ask someone to stare Xiao Die to death, so don't startle the snake."

"Your Majesty—do you want definite evidence?" Aunt Su was a little anxious, and asked for orders: "Your Majesty can hand her over to the servant, and the servant will be able to judge the result! Such people must never stay in Zichen Palace anymore middle!"

"Aunt Su, Your Majesty has his own idea. Your task is to keep quiet and stare at Xiaodie. Don't worry, she can't get her now. Hmph, I'm afraid someone wants her dead more than us!" Xiang Lin couldn't help sneering.

Aunt Su suddenly realized, she nodded slowly and remained silent.

"Xiang Lin is right." Gu Qinghua said: "So not only do we not do anything to her, but we try not to let her step out of Zichen Palace these days, we must protect her well, and when the right time comes, she will be useful !"

Aunt Su stopped asking, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is very strategic, and this servant will follow His Majesty's will! Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will do it naturally, and keep it so that no one will notice anything unusual! Then thoroughly investigate thing--"

Gu Qinghua thought for a while, then sneered and said, "Let's talk about it in a few days! I have to plan carefully, and take this opportunity to pull out the nails that the old thief planted in the palace one by one!"

Aunt Su's heart trembled, and the respectful voice should be yes, she couldn't help but sigh softly for a while: "It would be great if the eldest princess is still here!"

Gu Qinghua and Xianglin both trembled slightly.

Gu Qinghua felt guilty, Xiang Lin had already told her a lot about the Eldest Princess' scheming strategy, if the Eldest Princess was here, she might not even have a place to stand!What about Xianglin?She heard the implication of Aunt Su's words and felt uncomfortable. It meant that if the Eldest Princess was here, she would be so happy to see His Majesty acting so sophisticatedly and calmly today!pity--

Xianglin felt a sudden pain in her heart.

*****************
"I really don't understand what's the use of you doing this!" Xianglin muttered, and dissatisfiedly changed Gu Qinghua into a water-green court lady's dress, and combed the hanging temples that court ladies often combed for her, and put on a simple and cheap dress. Zhuhua took two steps back to look at it carefully, and said, "It's done!"

Gu Qinghua put the gold medal representing the emperor into his arms with a smile, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan's people are waiting at the back door, I will go first, here." She looked around the bedroom, and said: "You and Aunt Su take a good look at it. , in case the King of Political Affairs talks again, send him away!" Seeing Xiang Lin nodding, she smiled and left.

This is already the fourth day she was wandering around the palace dressed as a low-class court lady, and the place she was going to today was the place with the most and most novel stories in various palace fighting novels, a place called "Huanyi Bureau".Her identity is the little maid of the Flower Bureau who delivers starch and washes clothes.

The times are different, and the ideas and values ​​are also different. There are many things that she cannot explain to Xianglin.From Xianglin's point of view, her behavior is simply contemptible, it's degrading to the point of scum!The majestic king of a country, if he does something wrong, he has to disguise himself as a low-status court lady, and he also prefers to go to such messy places as the Clothes Bureau, Lenggong, Flower Planting Bureau, Miscellaneous Affairs Department, and Firewood Department.

Gu Qinghua had her own ideas. Although the traitors of Zichen Palace were found, the palace was not safe, and there must be spies planted by King Yizheng.Of course, Gu Qinghua would not be so naive as to think that these traitors would show up just because she wandered around in the palace for a few days - she is not the detective Di Renjie, nor the physical evidence expert Li Changyu!She just wanted to learn more about the real inside story of the palace, including the status of the ranks, personnel, various customary rules, and various cruel and cold facts.

But to understand the unknown inside story, the only way to observe and visit from the bottom is to observe and visit from the bottom. The news reported to her by internal officials will always be glamorous and decent, which is of no use to her. !
Gu Qinghua carried the emperor's gold medal to protect his life in case of any accidents. With this gold medal, he was brave, plus Aunt Su's secret and careful arrangements before going to each place, as well as the presence of patrolling guards everywhere. According to the arrangement, Gu Qinghua swayed for several days without revealing any flaws. At the same time, he also discovered many unknown dark and dirty things and suspicious people.

When she returned to Zichen Palace in the evening, she dictated that Xianglin recorded every word in the book, and even Aunt Su, who was holding the lamp by the side, felt terrified and resentful in her heart. Do it to the fullest.

With decades of experience in court life, Aunt Su actually delineated a lot of suspicious people through analysis and inference based on the time, place, cause, process, and result of these incidents, as well as the people involved at all levels. People, Gu Qinghua ordered to record all these people in the register, just waiting for the opportunity to pull them out one by one.

After more than a month like this, one night after recording the last word, Xianglin put down the pen and breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Su served the tea and persuaded slowly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been visiting various places in the palace these days. Come on, it's almost time, isn't it—"
