The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 555

Even the brothers from the guard battalion had rushed over to tear the package apart, and the jerky inside had been divided up to a small handful... Fortunately, he was prepared and hid some, otherwise, hum!
"Hey, let me say, it's only been a few days since we've been separated? Sister-in-law misses you so much? That's fine!" One of the guards took Chu Xu by his arm and winked.

"Go, don't talk nonsense. Eat yours."

Received two reprimands almost at the same time, the guard couldn't make fun of him, so he had to eat hard.

In fact, when such a big event happened, they also knew that their family was worried, but they also knew that their family did not have the ability of Chu Xu's wife, so they reluctantly resisted the plan to act as a substitute for the family.After all, if anyone accidentally reveals his mouth, it will harm others and himself.

It might as well be like this.

Not knowing is sometimes better than knowing, they would rather not know.

Thinking of the shocking scene last night, those maids and servants in the 'Spring Harmony Hall' who were trying to make a last-ditch effort... even a big man who is used to wind and rain, shuddered!

Today, even though the Hall of Spring Harmony has been sealed, the people in the other palaces that the Empress Dowager bought still have to be checked carefully, and people are arguing with each other, so it can't be sorted out so quickly.

However, the Department of Corrections is also straightforward. To capture the thief, first capture the king, and the queen mother is gone. Isn't the rest all headless chickens?It’s all about survival, those who are not found will be lucky if they work silently to save their lives, and those who are found will try to bite out other people’s meritorious deeds in exchange for their own lives...

Especially in the palaces of several princes and empresses, I heard that even the gardeners and the maids who sweep the floor have to be checked again and again...

Many palaces take this opportunity to clean their hands, and people are dragged out like dead dogs every day... These are the emperor's 'housework', and the core of the entire palace is naturally guarded by them, the clan guards That said, the other guards are just on duty outside.

This palace really seems to be calm, but in fact it is full of evil waves. Otherwise, Chu Xu would not have let his wife go so quickly... Be careful to make the Wannian ship.

They also understand.

The royal family is really not that easy to mess around with.They should just live in the guard camp obediently.

Since Shi Chuying rarely came, she naturally wouldn't leave without seeing the excitement.She left Chu Xu's small shabby house, and the wind blew across the court, and finally came to a place that was quite lively in the middle of the night: the empress dowager's mourning hall!
Shi Chuying completely restrained her breath, and quietly looked around in the shadows beside her.

In a white mourning hall, a high-quality golden nanmu coffin was placed there. The lid of the coffin had already been closed. Although it was late at night, there were still a few older men from the clan kneeling On the mat, a clay basin in front of the coffin was still burning, and from time to time someone would fill it with paper, and the burning paper would never be extinguished until the spirit came out.

Shi Chuying felt that she had never seen these men who were burning paper and kneeling, so she didn't know which prince or county king or duke they were.

There are fewer palace maids and eunuchs coming and going at this time, only occasionally someone comes to refill tea and pour water, and a few people in sackcloth move their knees from time to time...

Shi Chuying didn't want to see how the queen mother died, and was about to turn around and leave when a soft voice came from her ear: "Third brother, what do you think about this..."

"Fifth, don't talk nonsense."

"Well, I'm worried. The empress mother treats us... averagely, but she is kind to the eighth younger brother. When she was in Prince Qin's mansion, she even treated the eighth younger brother's wife better than the queen. We can talk about this matter. I'm afraid that the eighth younger brother will come and make a fuss! After all, she is also his own mother."

"Don't worry about it, the emperor's second brother has to worry about this matter. If the eighth brother makes trouble again, the Disciplinary Department will not let him. After all, the facts about the queen mother...Anyway, people from the clan's mansion have gone to various places to seal the queen mother's private affairs. It's the warehouse, that is, she doesn't know how many things she has made in the warehouse in the palace for so many years.

No wonder the second brother is angry, hehe, he stole money from his own son to take advantage of a little foreigner..."

"Why don't the ones in the palace open now? Do you have to wait for the eighth brother to come to Beijing?"

"It's the Empress Dowager's private treasury. She reasoned that it should be shared among us children. This time, when everyone is ready, the clan's office will investigate first, and the ones related to the case will be taken out, and the rest will be distributed."

"The case is all about salt, so we can't share the salt, right?"

"I heard that they have been replaced by gold and silver treasures...why don't you always compare the size of the bead with the queen, what size..."

It's almost like saying directly: If you don't do it, you won't die!

The voices of these people were very soft, and even ordinary people might not be able to hear them clearly amidst the howling cold wind outside.

Shi Chuying touched her chin in the dark night, this is great news!
The Empress Dowager's private treasury?How many more?It must not come in vain!Anyway, it doesn't matter who you give it to, they are all from the Chu family, and it's not good to be too out of touch...
