The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

The palace maid, named Qiao'er, was assigned to serve Lin Qingmiao after she was promoted last time.

Unfortunately, half a year had passed and she still couldn't get close to Lin Qingmiao.

The only person who served Lin Qingmiao personally was the maid she brought from outside the palace.

Although Lin Qingmiao was polite and good-tempered towards them, she never told them to do anything.

At most, we just ask them to clean up.

Thanks to her cleverness, Qiao'er was only able to get into the house, but she still couldn't get close to Lin Qingmiao.

Half a year has passed.

My aunt often asked about it, but she really couldn't find anything.

Sometimes she wondered if her aunt was overthinking it, as there really didn't seem to be anything wrong with this Concubine Lin.

Every day she stayed in the East Palace to accompany the little grandson, or went to the Crown Princess to talk with her. Apart from that, she hardly ever went out.

Not to mention who he was interacting with.

Qiao'er is quite thoughtful, otherwise she would not have been sent here.

But even so, no clues were found.

Even Fanghui, Aunt Cheng's niece, had wondered in her heart whether the master of the Chang'an Palace was overthinking.

But the princess didn't say anything, she just asked them to watch carefully, and naturally the palace servants could only continue to obey orders.

It doesn't take much effort anyway.

Qiao'er continued to stay with Lin Qingmiao.

I thought it was impossible to find anything, but today I unexpectedly saw someone send me a purse.

There was nothing special about the purse.

What was truly special was the smile that appeared on the concubine's face afterwards.

This concubine has been known for her gentleness and good nature since she entered the Eastern Palace. In fact, she is somewhat similar to Concubine Xian before she went crazy.

The slight smile on her face on weekdays was only a faint one, and looked very gentle.

But today——

Qiao'er looked at the smile on the concubine's face outside the window and felt a chill all over her body, with goose bumps quickly spreading across her arms.

That smile was really scary.

It was also at this moment that Qiao'er finally believed that the princess's guess might be true.

This concubine may not be as gentle and kind as she appears.

"Go take a look outside."

Suddenly I heard a voice coming from inside.

Qiao'er immediately crouched down and retreated behind a tree.

Sure enough, not long after, she heard footsteps. It was Concubine Lin's personal maid, Taoxiang, who came to the window to see if there was anyone.

Qiao'er hid herself behind the tree as best she could.

Fortunately, it is almost dark now and there is no sun here, so no reflection can be seen.

Taoxiang looked around outside, then closed the window and went back.

After a while, Qiao'er estimated the time and quietly moved closer. Through the window, Lin Qingmiao's voice was not loud. Even if Qiao'er moved as close as possible, she could only hear a few words intermittently: "Mrs. Huang..."

Qiao'er couldn't remember who this Mrs. Huang was.

But when I listened again, I couldn't hear anything, but the little grandson of the emperor suddenly started crying.

This time, Concubine Lin's voice seemed to be out of control and became louder: "It's so noisy. You just cry all day long. Go and get the things out of there."

Tao Xiang hesitated and said, "Master, you can't take too much of that medicine..."

medicine?

Qiaoer blinked.

What medicine?

Who eats it?

"Then you come and comfort him... I'm going to sleep for a while."

Qiao'er heard another set of footsteps coming from inside, but this time they were getting farther and farther away. Then she heard Taoxiang picking up the little grandson and coaxing him to sleep.

This was the first time Taoxiang saw such a scene.

Their little grandson has been very well-behaved since he was born, and his voice is rarely heard.

But in the past, all of them were serving outside, and they thought that the little grandson of the emperor was really well-behaved.

But now it seems...

Could it be that this little grandson of the emperor was drugged?

Thinking of this possibility, Qiao'er felt a chill in her heart. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't guess clearly, but she knew that something was wrong and she had to tell her aunt as soon as possible.

She didn't dare to delay and prepared to go there immediately.

Working for Concubine Lin and not being able to serve her closely has its advantages. At times like this, if she wants to take a break or go out, no one will notice.

She found another close friend and said that she had a stomachache and needed to go to the bathroom. Then she secretly left the East Palace and went to find Aunt Fanghui.

After hearing this, Fang Hui was naturally shocked.

At first, she thought that the princess was overthinking, but now it seems that Concubine Lin is really a little strange.

"If she really drugged the little grandson, that would be very strange..."

What mother doesn’t love her own child?

Unless this child is not her own...

As soon as this thought flashed through Fanghui's mind, she was shocked by herself.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao'er didn't know what was wrong with her, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help but ask.

How could Fanghui tell her something without any evidence?

Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace, the harems of the late emperor and your Majesty were clean and such things had never happened, but there were many such things in the past. I heard that during the reign of Emperor Cheng, there was even an incident of replacing the crown prince with a cat.

But everything requires evidence.

What's the use without any evidence?

But now Fanghui remembered who this Mrs. Huang was.

"I remember that the woman who delivered Concubine Lin last time was named Huang. You..." He subconsciously wanted to ask Qiao'er to find out, but before he could say that, he suddenly remembered that Qiao'er had gone to work in the Eastern Palace.

Then he changed his words and said to others, "Go back to the East Palace first. Concubine Lin seems to be doing something wrong. Be careful and don't let others notice."

"If you are really discovered, run away immediately and don't get yourself involved."

She added another suggestion.

I don't want Qiao'er to get hurt because of investigating this matter.

Qiao'er nodded quickly: "Aunt, I know, don't worry." After she said that, she didn't delay any longer and went out quickly.

Before going out, she took a sneak peek outside to make sure no one was leaving at night.

Fanghui didn't delay since she left.

She planned to go to Qingchun Palace in person.

In Qingchun Palace lived the three palace maids: the midwife, the wet nurse, and the doctor who specialized in diagnosing and treating women's diseases.

Fanghui also has a good relationship with the aunt who is in charge of Qingchun Palace.

She did not alert the enemy immediately, but went to chat with people with food in hand. During the conversation, she mentioned the old lady Huang.

"Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?"

Aunt Yunchun, the manager of Qingchun Palace, was a little surprised when she heard this, but she didn't think too much about it. She just mentioned it casually, and then ate peanuts and drank the wine Fanghui brought, and said, "He left half a year ago. He said that his son in his hometown had an accident, so he had to go back."

"Left half a year ago?"

Fanghui didn't expect this result and was a little surprised.

It also made him more certain that something must have happened to this old lady Huang when she delivered Concubine Lin.

"Yeah, oh..."

Aunt Yunchun thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be for the concubine of the Eastern Palace, who gave birth not long ago... Anyway, the current situation in the palace does not need so many midwives. If she wants to leave, I naturally can't keep her."

"What's wrong? What happened to her?" Yunchun suddenly asked Fanghui.

Fang Hui forced a smile: "No, nothing."

Yunchun glanced at her and didn't say whether he believed it or not. He still didn't believe it.

Who in this palace doesn't have their own secrets? Especially in this place where she is, and she has been able to stay in this palace for so long, just relying on herself, not asking questions that she shouldn't ask, and not meddling in things that she shouldn't care about.

Only by being a deaf, blind and confused person can you save yourself.

"Today's wine is good."

After Yunchun finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and went inside.

Fanghui didn't know what she was going to do.

After a while, she saw Yunchun come out with a note in her hand.

"what is this?"

Seeing Yunchun handing her the note, Fanghui couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

I took a look and saw it was an address.

"This is……"

She had some idea in her mind, but she was still not sure.

He couldn't help but look at Yunchun.

Yunchun looked at her and said, "Po Huang's hometown."

Although she had guessed this possibility, Fang Hui couldn't help but tremble her eyelashes when she heard the answer. Seeing that Yun Chun had sat down again to drink, looking like nothing had happened, Fang Hui moved her lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

He just put the note away and thanked the person.

"...Thank you."

Yunchun said: "No, I drank tonight and I don't know anything."

Fanghui laughed when she heard this.

She said nothing more, but just picked up the wine cup and toasted with others.

After drinking, Fanghui said goodbye to Yunchun.

Yunchun didn't see him off either.

Fang Hui had been thinking since she left Qingchun Palace. It seemed that she had to send someone to the palace as soon as the palace gate opened tomorrow to pass the news to Princess Chang'an.

I don’t know what secrets are hidden behind Concubine Lin.

However, now that something like this has happened to Prince Chang'an, I don't know whether Princess Chang'an is still in the mood to know about these things.

Thinking of King Chang'an.

Fanghui also sighed in her heart.

It is such a pity that such a good man like Prince Chang'an is gone just like that.

No matter what, this matter was entrusted to her by the princess and her aunt. Now that there is a result, she should tell others... As for whether the princess wants to know or not, that is her own business.

It has nothing to do with her.

Fanghui was thinking about this all the way.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front: "Aunt Fanghui."

Fang Hui was startled when she heard someone calling her on the road. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the light from the lantern in her hand, only then could she see the figure clearly.

"Eunuch Huikang?"

They are all old people in the palace, who doesn’t know who?

However, the two had never had much contact before.

She didn't know what he was going to say. After Fang Hui greeted everyone, she just said, "Why is Eunuch Huikang here?"

Fang Hui thought it was just some polite greetings and didn't think about saying anything to him.

After chatting for a while, I was ready to leave.

Who would have thought that Huikang would say, "Wait for you."

Fang Hui was stunned: "Wait for me?"

"What's the matter, Eunuch Huikang?" Fanghui was puzzled.

Huikang pointed a way with a lantern: "Aunt Fanghui, please come this way."

Fang Hui couldn't help but frown when she saw him like this.

She asked herself if she had any relationship with Huikang, but after hesitating for a moment, she still walked over. However, she was always nervous and did not dare to relax.
