The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 322 A Messy Mess (2)
"Missing the cotton mattress?" Without thinking about it, Minfang shook her head resolutely, "No, but all the servants remember, nothing is lost, even the discarded objects in the palace are all destroyed uniformly, such as the emperor's bedding, clothes."

Tang Jingyue also thought about it: "But it is inevitable that there will be dirty hands and feet among the palace people. Is it possible for those discarded objects to be stolen?"

Minfang pursed her lips, nodded slowly after thinking about it: "Although the palace system is strict, it is possible. But master, what's the use of stealing these things, no matter who steals these things, It may be used openly. Once it is seen by others and leaked out, it will be a crime of beheading or even implicating the nine clans. The slaves are almost sure that no palace person has the courage."

For example, stealing a used yellow underwear from the emperor, what's the use of stealing it, I stare blankly, and dare not expose it at all.If you can't use it yourself, then sell the palace?Who dares to buy the emperor's things, where are the specifications?

And... just looking at the mysterious man's attitude towards the imprisoned child, it can be seen that there is no need to steal an emperor's cotton mattress for the bed, the mysterious man is not that kind.

The problem has reached a dead end again.Every seemingly smooth guess, after careful analysis, will always contradict reality.

Tang Jingyue couldn't figure it out, and sighed annoyedly.

Seeing that the master was still frowning after asking, Min Fang asked cautiously: "What did the master find?"

Don't hide it from Minfang.Tang Jingyue signaled Minrui to show Minfang the worn-out cotton mattress: "This was found in Pinrui Garden, and it looks like a dragon flying into the sky."

Although the cotton mattress is so black and dirty that it is difficult to identify, Min Fang can still clearly see the pattern of the cotton mattress from the relatively clean side.However, Minfang's expression became extremely confused.

"This..." Minfang thought about it for a while, and finally said after she was sure, "Master must not know that Minrui left the palace not long after your death, and she didn't know either. This pattern of dragons flying into the sky, as early as five years It was no longer needed.”

"No more?" Tang Jingyue was surprised.This is an imperial specification, how can it be discarded at will.

Min Fang nodded, and explained in detail: "At the beginning of that year, it was still Prince Li's regent prince and Duke Protector who won a great victory over Southern Xinjiang. The remaining two are the emperor and the prince regent.

After Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena, Daoming Daomao's murderous intent was too heavy, which made the palace's fortune thinner, so many objects related to the emperor had their specifications changed.For example, the Tuanlong Feitian commonly used on this cotton quilt was changed to Longxiang Nine Heavens, and Tuanlong was changed to Dulong, in order to gather blessings in the palace and protect the emperor's well-being. "

After finishing speaking, Min Fang thought for a while and said: "At that time, the emperor's wet nurse was still alive, and the slaves took full responsibility for the emperor's daily life and food only after the emperor's wet nurse died suddenly for no reason."

"The nanny died suddenly?"

"Yes, I don't know what kind of disease the nanny has. It's very unlucky to be around the emperor who died suddenly by the palace people early in the morning." That was a scene that Min Fang didn't see with her own eyes.After all, at that time Minfang was still an old palace official who had gone to the empress dowager's side, and her qualifications were no higher than those close palace servants who had served the emperor for many years.

Hearing Minfang's memory, Tang Jingyue immediately realized that this was an important clue!He grabbed Min Fang's hand, looked very serious, and asked sharply: "Nurse and the emperor are sleeping together, the nanny died suddenly, what about the emperor?"

Frightened by her master's sudden uproar, Min Fang shook her head: "This servant doesn't know, but I think it's all right, because it is said that when the palace servants discovered that the nanny was not breathing, the emperor was still sound asleep. Then, the servants It's just that the emperor's nanny left the palace and returned to her hometown. Although the emperor was depressed for a while, it will pass after a long time."

The more detailed Min Fang said, the bigger the mystery in Tang Jingyue's heart.First of all, the cotton mattress that was flying like a dragon was an old item made five years ago; second, the nanny who slept with Honger died suddenly for no reason; third, "although the emperor was depressed for a while"?
"After the nanny died, the emperor was just depressed?"

Min Fang paused and nodded.When the master mentioned this point, Minfang only realized it later.Concubine Wan was buried, and the nanny was the emperor's closest relative.The person closest to me is suddenly gone, and the emperor is just unhappy?

"It was quite chaotic in the womb during those days. The emperor was not very close to the slaves, so whether the emperor cried because the nanny left, the specific slaves are not clear."

"En." Tang Jingyue nodded melancholy.

too messy.All kinds of doubts five years ago are messy.A year ago, Minfang began to notice that something was wrong with the emperor. During the three or four years in between, was the emperor safe and sound?Could it be that this discarded cotton mattress was just picked up by a mysterious person five years ago?
The more Tang Jingyue thought about it, the more she felt a headache: "Ah Hao is here?"

"The prince is accompanying the emperor to approve the memorial."

In the house, the little emperor was already distracted by Jing Zhihao's national economy and people's livelihood, and noticed that Min Fang was not in the room. The little emperor interrupted Jing Zhihao and asked the palace: "Where's Min Fang?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Aunt Minfang is outside."

"What is she doing out there?"

"Talking to Miss Hua."

Upon hearing Hua Rongyue, the little emperor's eyes lit up: "Ah, it's Miss Hua, I haven't had time to ask her if she's used to living in the palace."

Speaking of this, realizing the relationship between the regent and Miss Hua, the little emperor laughed: "After all, I am going to become my aunt, and I dare not neglect."

Jing Zhihao had already put down the cinnabar pen in his hand when he heard the palace people say that Tang Jingyue was outside.I have known for a long time that the emperor has no intention of political affairs, if there is a little bit of nosy, the emperor's mind can be completely taken away.

After closing the memorial, Jing Zhihao said with a cold face: "I see that the emperor is tired today, let's rest for a while." Of course, his thoughts have also been taken away now.

"Seeing that Aunt Huang is outside, I also agree to take a rest for a while." The little emperor said poorly.

Jing Zhihao: "..." Was teased by an eight-year-old child, who was also his own nephew.

Seeing the little emperor in golden emperor uniform coming out of the palace, Tang Jingyue was anxious and depressed.But seeing A Hao coming out again, he couldn't help but loosen his grip.

"The courtiers pay homage to the emperor and the regent."

Just as the little emperor was about to say no, Jing Zhihao had already pulled the person who hadn't knelt down into his hands.

"Going to learn the rules today, can you be angry?" As she asked, she checked the red and swollen mark on the back of Tang Jingyue's hand that was hit by Nanny Huaqiu before.

Immediately, eyes darkened: "Who hit it?"

Today, Jing Zhihao is always in the palace, and Tang Jingyue is under his nose.Can something happen under his nose?And with Tang Jingyue's demeanor and rules, will she still be judged by the ruler?Jing Zhihao had a hunch that someone did it on purpose.
