Working part-time as a wife is too busy

Chapter 113: Repeated Exploration (3)
"Mrs. Rong, I heard that you have gotten very close to the prison inspectors of the Department of Prisons recently, and even worked as a maid, but is there such a thing?" Concubine Liu did not let Gu Xiaoya go just because of this. There are too many mysteries hidden in the woman who doesn't care, and she has been paying close attention to the cases outside the palace.

"I don't know who Liu Concubine listened to? The minister's wife is not a female slave, but the prison inspection made Mr. Leng know that the minister's wife has some skills in autopsy. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, I asked the minister's wife to help." Concubine Liu It's not surprising that Gu Xiaoya was asked about the case, the second daughter from Weiyuanbo's mansion probably hasn't asked what she really wanted to ask.

Concubine Liu didn't expect Gu Xiaoya to refute her words on the spot, her face was a little embarrassed, but she soon returned to normal, she smiled slightly, her seductive posture was undoubtedly revealed.

"Mrs. Rong, I'm afraid that she doesn't know that her story has already been spread in the imperial capital. There are many people in the palace who know about your story. When the emperor gave you a marriage to the General's Mansion, it also made many people The lady is very envious. It's just that no one thought that the fourth lady of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, who has always lived reclusively, would acquire medical skills at some point, and even know how to do autopsies. It sounds like a strange thing, how can people not be interested!" Concubine Liu said with a half smile.

"Mrs. Rong, is Sister Liu telling the truth?" Concubine Lu, who had been relatively quiet all this time, looked at Gu Xiaoya with her seemingly innocent eyes and asked.

Gu Xiaoya thought, Concubine Lu's question was quite interesting. Concubine Liu just said that many people in the palace knew about it, but she, a "person in the palace", didn't know anything. Could it be implying that Concubine Liu had impure thoughts and was always How about inquiring about news from outside the palace?

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of Empress Dowager Jiang, Empress Lu and the others became ugly. They really didn't know about Gu Xiaoya's autopsy.

"Returning to your mother, what Concubine Liu said is correct. The minister's wife will indeed perform an autopsy. Not only that, but the minister's wife also knows how to restore the skull. No matter how many years you have died, as long as you take out the skull of the corpse, the minister's wife can restore the original skull. Although the looks are not [-]% similar, they are still [-]% to [-]%." If you don't take the initiative to mention Liu Zhixiang's case, I will take the initiative to speak out, and don't I just want to ask about the corpse in Ziweiyuan!

When Gu Xiaoya's words came out, Empress Dowager Jiang and the others were greatly surprised. Only Concubine Liu had a bad face. It was because she secretly found out that Gu Xiaoya knew some kind of skull restoration technique, so she was restless these days.

"Mrs. Rong, you won't make up nonsense in front of the Queen Mother, right?" Hmph, Liu Jinglan doesn't believe in the skull restoration technique at all.

And Liu Jinglan's repeated targeting and provocation in front of Gu Xiaoya, as well as her loss of her usual calmness, made Concubine Jiang frown.

As Liu Jinglan's mother-in-law, she and Liu Jinglan's aunt Concubine Liu are "good sisters" on the surface, but both of them understand deep down that they are just a temporary alliance to deal with Empress Lu. When deciding the outcome, there must be a split.

Therefore, Concubine Jiang objected to the appointment of the young lady of Uncle Weiyuan's mansion as the main concubine and side concubine, but her son Xiang Yu had always had more ideas than her, and her most beloved niece could only become the side concubine of Prince Hui's mansion.

However, Concubine Jiang learned two words from the Empress Dowager Jiang, that is "forbearance" and "ruthless". As long as she endures until her son sits on the throne, she can find a way to get rid of the Liu family and her Jiang family. To become the lord of the harem, one must naturally listen to her, just like her relationship with Queen Mother Jiang, she will do better than Queen Mother Jiang in the future.

It's just that the Liu family can't move now, because the Lu family is too powerful, and there is an eldest prince who is loved by the emperor, but that is a waste, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Of course not. The reason why the emperor summoned his ministers and wives into the palace today is for the recovered skull. When he left the imperial study just now, the emperor sent someone to the prison department to get it. The skull is still a little bit like Concubine Liu. Yuanyuan." Gu Xiaoya said with a smile on her face.

"Oh, what's the origin?" Empress Lu looked like she was watching the show. Both Concubine Liu and Liu Jinglan were targeting Gu Xiaoya, but Gu Xiaoya didn't seem to be such a bully at all. Fight, fight, she It's just time to add more matches and fuel to watch the show.

"Gu Xiaoya, what nonsense are you talking about!" Concubine Liu's temperament, which had been stable for more than ten years, was still a little messed up after all.

Seeing that Concubine Liu, who has always kept her calm, was losing her temper, Empress Lu felt even happier, and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Rong Shao, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Concubine Liu is not as big as an empress, Gu Xiaoya was not afraid at all, instead she smiled more casually and said, "Concubine Liu, don't get angry first, just let me finish what I have to say. A few days ago, Concubine Mingxu held a flower appreciation banquet in Ziwei Garden. Because Miss Liu Fei'er of Weiyuanbo's Mansion was murdered, Master Leng found an unknown corpse in the abandoned well of Ziwei Garden when investigating the case. I heard that my wife can restore the skull, so I asked my wife to help."

"Who can this corpse be found out?" Queen Mother Jiang was also curious.

"After inspection, my wife found that it was a female corpse that had been dead for nearly 20 years. After recovering the skull, I drew a portrait. Because the female corpse was found in the Ziwei Garden, Master Leng took the portrait to Mingxu Palace and asked if Princess Mingxu knew her. Unexpectedly, the princess recognized at a glance that the woman in the portrait was her best friend in her teenage years, Liu Zhixiang, the third daughter of Uncle Weiyuan's mansion." When Gu Xiaoya said this, she glanced at Concubine Liu's face and found her Although he tried his best to maintain his composure, his clenched hands turned pale.

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Liu suddenly stood up, "My sister Liu Zhixiang disappeared 20 years ago. How could she die in a place like Ziwei Garden? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Concubine Liu, don't make mistakes in front of the queen mother!" Empress Lu showed her queen's aura at this time, glared at Concubine Liu coldly, and said, "Besides, how do you know it's impossible! Huh, could it be your sister? Your death is related to you!"

"Queen, Zhimei has always respected you, so don't wrong a good person. I have a deep relationship with my sister Zhixiang, and we grew up together. She has been missing for 20 years and I have been worrying about you in the palace for 20 years. As a big sister, I cannot accept the news of her death." Concubine Liu spoke sincerely, and tears fell down.

"Okay, you all stop arguing, the Ai family wants to continue listening! You just said that the emperor has sent someone to the prison department?" Empress Dowager Jiang was puzzled as to why Emperor Guangzong was so interested in Liu Zhixiang's case. It's just a woman who has been dead for 20 years, and then I thought, maybe Emperor Guangzong was interested in the skull restoration technique Gu Xiaoya said, so he did it.
