Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Ruan Qing...

Good guy, it’s only been three days since Jiang Baili and others were imprisoned, and the news has reached Concubine Li’s ears?

Wait, isn't it Sun An who is defrauding me?

Even Ronghua only knew the reason why Jiang Baili and others were imprisoned today.

If the news about Concubine Li who is far away in the imperial mausoleum reaches faster than Ronghua, doesn't it mean that there are her informants everywhere in the entire court and harem?

As soon as he thought about this, Ruan Qing couldn't help but look at Sun An more carefully.

Why is the Queen Mother looking at me like that?

I didn't say anything inappropriate today. Could it be that she really heard what I was thinking? impossible.

Just when Sun An was feeling uncomfortable, Ruan Qing turned his attention to Lin Haoming:

"Servant Lin, has Sun An been investigated clearly? Is he involved in any murder case? If not, let him out."

"No murder case has been found yet. If the Queen Mother wants to let him go, she can let him go at any time." Lin Haoming said.

"Come here, give Sun An ten taels of gold and send him out of the palace." Ruan Qing turned his attention to Sun An again.

"Wait, Queen Mother, are you just going to let me go... and let me go? You don't have anything to ask me?" Sun An looked at Ruan Qing in confusion.

"Otherwise? Didn't you say you would give the Aijia an answer after ten days? Do you still want to stay in Cining Palace for these ten days?

As for asking for information, are you willing to tell the Ai family useful information now?" Ruan Qing glanced at him lightly.

Being able to stay in Cining Palace, I really don’t want to go out.

There is food and drink here, and the environment is good. You don’t have to worry about being tracked and tortured when you go out.

But he could only complain about these words in his heart, saying that he couldn't say them.

As his mind was spinning, Sun An shook his head and said: "Before formally surrendering to the Queen Mother, information that should not be disclosed cannot be disclosed. This is the basic principle of life."

"Oh, then you can take the money and leave soon." Ruan Qing waved his hand.

"The Queen Mother is afraid that I will take the money and run away?" Sun An raised his eyebrows.

"You don't look like a fool, why would you ask such a stupid question?" Ruan Qing asked without answering.

Sun An......

Do you really want to curse someone?

He took a deep breath and suppressed the curse words that came to his lips: "Your Majesty, if I don't agree to the solicitation after ten days, do I need to pay back the money?"

"Of course I have to pay it back. Even if the Ai family wants to help the weak, it won't be your turn."

Sun An...

A smile appeared in Lin Haoming's eyes unconsciously.

The Queen Mother is very good at handling popular people.

"Servant Lin, are Jiang Baili and others in the same cell as Sun An?" Ruan Qing asked Lin Haoming after Sun An left.

"Yeah." Lin Haoming nodded.

"Did you deliberately let people reveal the news that Jiang Baili and others were arrested?" Ruan Qing looked at him thoughtfully.

"Yes, Concubine Li wants to be unfavorable to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. I and Your Majesty discussed it and decided to alert the enemy and see how the other party would respond." Lin Haoming replied.

That's it, and that makes sense.

Otherwise, Concubine Li, who is far away in the imperial mausoleum, has better information channels than Ronghua, and there is no way she can make excuses.

"Is there any way to take the Ai family into the cell without disturbing anyone?" Ruan Qing pondered for a moment and then asked.

The matter was of great importance. Although Lin Haoming and the emperor deliberately tried to frighten the situation, she still hoped to go to the scene to confirm whether there were any omissions and to listen to the voices of the imprisoned persons.

"Okay, when will the Queen Mother prepare me?" Lin Haoming pondered for a moment and nodded.

He has discovered that the Queen Mother can indeed guess or hear other people's thoughts through some channels.

However, it must be face to face.

Then the Queen Mother can also guess what she is thinking, right? As soon as this thought came out, Lin Haoming felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

No, I don’t have any thoughts that I can’t hide from others, and it doesn’t matter if I’m guessed or heard.

"Just for today, okay? If possible, I'll go change some clothes."

"can."

More than a quarter of an hour later, Ruan Qing changed into the clothes of a grandma, her face and hairstyle were changed, and her face was darkened a lot.

People who are not particularly familiar with her will not recognize her when they walk up to her.

Lin Haoming looked at Ruan Qing, who seemed to be a different person, but at the same time not at all uncomfortable, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

The Queen Mother is really different from before. She doesn't have any of the reserve or baggage of a noble person.

In order to avoid revealing her secret, Ruan Qing didn't even bring Liang Fan with her. Jiang Yuan's figure was too conspicuous, so he didn't let her accompany him.

Queqi changed into the clothes of an ordinary palace maid, changed her appearance, followed Ruan Qing and Lin Haoming and slipped out quietly.

When the three of them arrived at the Penal Department Prison, it was almost dark.

When the cell leader saw that the person coming was Lin Haoming, he opened the door for him very cooperatively without saying a word. At the same time, a clever young officer led the way.

After entering the cell, the dark and stuffy environment made her feel a little uncomfortable. Lin Haoming took a smoke lamp from somewhere, lit it, and handed it to her hand: "Take this, it will feel more comfortable."

The officer who led the way looked at Ruan Qing curiously.

I wonder who this ordinary-looking nanny is, who can be treated so politely by Minister Lin.

Ruan Qing took it, and the road ahead suddenly became much brighter, and the sinister smell dissipated a lot.

In fact, the overall cleaning of the cell was relatively clean. As for the dampness, it was unavoidable because it was built underground and the ventilation was poor.

"Master Lin, do everyone in the Criminal Department know you?" As they were walking forward, Ruan Qing asked Lin Haoming curiously.

"Everyone who has been employed for more than a month knows you, sir. There are few chief officers of the Six Departments who are as dedicated to their duties as our sir.

Adults must inspect the cells at least twice a month and listen to reports from the heads of the main rooms at all levels at least once a month. "The person who answered was not Lin Shilangming, but the government servant who came in to lead the way.

"It can be seen that Master Lin is very popular in the Criminal Department." Upon seeing this, Ruan Qing had a faint smile in his eyes.

“In my position, I should do my job, this is what I should do.

Otherwise, if the chief officer of a department does not know the people below him, it would be a mess. Lin Haoming waved his hand carelessly.

While they were chatting and laughing, they walked to the cell where Jiang Baili and others were imprisoned.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Haoming imprisoned all five people who broke into Cining Palace with King Zhong that day.

When Ruan Qing came in, Jiang Baili, Xue Li and others were sitting together and discussing something.

Seeing the light, the five people turned their heads and looked.

Seeing Lin Haoming coming down the steps, Jiang Baili immediately turned around, grabbed the iron railing with his palms, glared at Minister Lin and cursed:

"Lin Haoming, you are such a treacherous villain. You have been slandering and framing us in front of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty. I will see what happens to you in the future."

But she was sneering in her heart: The Queen Mother thought that by seizing the reason we broke into the palace and finding out Feng Xi, she could bring down Concubine Li?

If I didn't want to wait until the day of the Queen's Conferment Ceremony, I would catch all of you royalists in one fell swoop.

In the next two days, I will be able to let people light the explosives buried in Cining Palace and kill Queen Mother Ruan.
