Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Unlike the others, Li Zhaoyun was a conspiracy from the moment she entered the palace. Before entering the palace, she was told repeatedly to gain the emperor's favor as soon as possible, and then pass on useful news from the palace.

In Li Zhaoyun's view, these two tasks are not difficult. There are only five people in the harem plus her.As for delivering the news, there were already people arranged by Prince Jia in the palace, and she knew that it was enough to tell those people what she knew.

But what Li Zhaoyun didn't expect was that Zhou Xingzhi devoted all his attention to Ye Ningxuan after his wedding. It's just that he wasn't treated specially by the emperor, and he didn't even get favor once. This made Li Zhaoyun feel very frustrated.And the task of delivering the news became a little more difficult after Ye Ningxuan took over the palace affairs.After the group of older palace people were released from the palace, the news system collapsed directly.

The occurrence of these things made Li Zhaoyun feel the pressure, she is not a person who is just waiting to die, she entered the palace to be a queen, not a caged bird imprisoned.

"Go and tell your lord, I am willing to agree to his plan, but now His Majesty is not willing to come to me, I need his help." After returning, Li Zhaoyun really moved out the Buddhist scriptures, and talked to the personal maid while flipping through them.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty will arrange everything." The maid lowered her head, and then took out a sachet, "This is from Your Majesty, you don't need to contact His Majesty, as long as you sit in the Queen's Palace from time to time Just sit down."

"What's in this sachet?" Li Zhaoyun took the sachet with one hand, felt it and couldn't help but put it on the tip of her nose and smell it.

"Your Majesty, don't do it." The maid hurriedly stopped Li Zhaoyun's movements, "There is a hallucinogenic potion in it, Your Majesty, don't touch too much before taking the antidote."

Hearing this, Li Zhaoyun immediately put the sachet aside, her face was a little unsightly, "Then why don't you give me the antidote?"

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. Just take this." The maid was obviously a little helpless, Li Zhaoyun started before she could finish her sentence, she can't be blamed for that.

Li Zhaoyun took the small porcelain bottle given by the maid, opened the cap and poured out a black pill from it, "Just eat this?"

"Yes." The maid replied, seeing Li Zhaoyun swallowing it with water without even thinking, she couldn't help but smile, "If you smell too much hallucinogens, Your Majesty will definitely dislike the queen. Then you will have a chance, ma'am."

It really is a stupid one, how could adults use such a stupid idea.It's all right now, no matter who caused the accident, the blame will be placed in Li Zhaoyun's hands, and my lord can be innocent from the beginning to the end.

Li Zhaoyun rubbed her belly, why did she feel that the black pill had a strange smell, it didn't taste like medicine at all.

"I have already given the things to the empress, and this subordinate has to report this matter to the adults." The maid glanced at the sachet from the corner of her eye, and then quickly looked away.

Li Zhaoyun nodded perfunctorily, "Go ahead and tell your lord what I mean, as long as you can help your lord, just ask me to do it."

If the hallucinogenic potion made the other party unconscious, then not only would he go to the empress's palace, but he would also go to the palaces of the other concubines a few times.

Zhou Xingzhi was still playing games with the courtiers at this time, trying his best to put the person he liked into Qiu Wei's list of examiners.Among them, Duke An needless to say, he is Qin Ran's father, he should not have too many meritorious deeds, even if Prince Jia was still in the regency period, he would not directly confront him.

As for Prime Minister Liu, as the head of civil servants, he already had a lot of students, and he said that there is no problem in being the chief examiner of Qiu Wei one by one.

Among the remaining fifteen people, Zhou Xingzhi arranged for seven of his own people to go in as he wished after going through the big and small court games.Among the remaining eight people, the neutral faction and Prince Jia's people were evenly split. This result is not satisfactory.

"Your Majesty, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is seeking an audience." While Zhou Xingzhi was reviewing the memorial, Wei Zhong reported in a low voice, "You have already arrived at the gate of the palace."

Zhou Xingzhi didn't stop moving his hands, "Let him in, and tell Concubine Zhong by the way, let her listen through the screen."

"Yes." Wei Zhong responded, and quickly made arrangements according to Zhou Xingzhi's words.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live." Dali Temple Shaoqing bowed in a regular manner. Compared with the last time when he choked with Zhou Xingzhi in the court hall, Dali Temple Shaoqing looked a lot thinner, wearing an official uniform It also looks a bit lenient on him.

"Aiqing, please." Zhou Xingzhi put down his pen memorial, "Why does Aiqing want to see me?"

"Your Majesty, the case you asked me to investigate a few days ago, I already have some clues." Dali Temple Shaoqing said, with a very calm expression on his face.

"Oh? Did Ai Qing find out who did it?" Zhou Xingzhi asked. If Shaoqing of Dali Temple was the kind of person he thought, then his faith in his heart must have been shaken crazily.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I found some traces left by the thieves at the scene, and coupled with the clues provided by the surrounding residents, I feel that this matter is very likely to be done by the boss of the Jixiang Building." The Shaoqing of Dali Temple lowered his head, eyes There was a flash of struggle, "One of the bosses of Jixianglou is Li Shilang from the Ministry of Officials."

"Li Shilang?" Zhou Xingzhi originally thought it was just a vicious business competition, and sent Dali Temple Shaoqing to test his attitude, but he did not expect him to find out a surprise for himself.

"Yes, I already have some evidence in my hands. If you want to investigate further, you may need to ask Li Shilang to cooperate." The rank of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is lower than that of the official minister. If you don't get the corresponding It is inevitable that he will be charged with contempt of the superior.

"Okay, I will give you an imperial edict, as long as it is related to the case, you will be given the right to investigate." Zhou Xingzhi was very forthright when he deserved it.The Shaoqing of Dali Temple really has a way of investigating cases, and it is best to take such a person for his own use.

Of course, Zhou Xingzhi would not give such great power for no reason. After Shi Shiqing left the palace, two skilled personal guards would secretly follow behind him, serving as protection and surveillance.

After the Shaoqing of Dali Temple left, Zhong Qingyi came out from behind the screen with a troubled expression on his face, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the servant of the Ministry of Officials should be the father of Concubine Li, right? Could it be that I was out of the palace to do business?" Concubine Li found out, so she asked his father to take revenge?"

"..." Zhou Xingzhi choked for a moment, Zhong Qingyi's imagination seemed to be too rich, "Things are not that complicated. Only a few people know about your leaving the palace, and it should be a simple trick to attract attention."

"Is it just because I make too much money?" Zhong Qingyi couldn't help complaining, "There are too many people who can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in the capital, why are they eyeing me?"

"You don't even think about the speed at which you make money." Zhou Xingzhi gave Zhong Qingyi an angry look, "Concubine Zhong, you should have not forgotten what you promised me, right? The road is about the same."

"Your Majesty, this is not my problem. I just made more money." Zhong Qingyi quickly retorted, what she longed for was a free life outside the palace. If she was trapped in the palace, she would really There is no place to cry.

"Okay, next time do things more safely, you can't make money, and occasionally you can share something with some people." Zhou Xingzhi reminded, "Don't confine your eyes to the capital, but look at the world."

Zhong Qingyi nodded thoughtfully, "I understand what Your Majesty means."

Zhou Xingzhi's words are not unreasonable. Although the things she launched are popular, the market she can occupy is only in the capital city. It is better to choose a firm with a wider business scope and cooperate.

"I remember that your palace should be quite big, and you can use it occasionally, and you don't need to go out of the palace so frequently." Seeing Zhong Qingyi understand what he meant, Zhou Xingzhi gave her some convenience.

Zhong Qingyi's eyes lit up, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"If you need anything, just talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I will get it for you if you can get it." Zhou Xingzhi said with a smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make a lot of money for you!" Zhong Qingyi understood clearly this time, Zhou Xingzhi told her that she could set up a small workshop in the palace to study some things , and the other party will also provide the materials needed for research.

If this is the case, she can also put many things in her mind on the agenda.For example, there is no glass yet, but with glass, you can tinker with telescopes, and you can go to sea by then!

Zhong Qingyi got bloody at once, and after blowing a few rainbow farts to Zhou Xingzhi, he left the Yushufang very happily.

On the way back, Zhong Qingyi saw a eunuch taking away a group of passers-by in costumes, and couldn't help calling a young eunuch to ask about the situation.

"Back to Concubine Zhong, this is a well-known theater troupe in the capital, and they are here to sing for the Empress Dowager today." The person who was shouted ran over with small steps, lowered his head and said.

"Theatrical troupe, what play are you singing?" Zhong Qingyi asked.

"Looks like a female son-in-law or something." The little eunuch said, "They are all dramas based on folk tales."

"Female son-in-law..." Zhong Qingyi rubbed his chin, and casually stuffed a piece of silver into the little eunuch, "Okay, I got it, I'll trouble you."

"My servant, Xiao Zhuzi, thanked the lady. If the lady is useful to get the servant, just ask the little Zhuzi." Xiao Zhuzi happily took the money, carefully hid it, and then returned to the team.

Zhong Qingyi leaned on the seat and stared blankly for a while, thinking that he hadn't visited Qin Ran for a long time, so he quickly ordered the person who carried the seat to change direction and walk towards Kun'an Palace.

Speaking of which, the last time Zhong Qingyi went to see Qin Ran was more than ten days ago. At that time, she had just worked out her mouth fat, and when she gave it to Ye Ningxuan, she also gave Qin Ran an extra set.

It was almost time for dinner, and Zhong Qingyi thought that he and Qin Ran had a good relationship, so he visited with the cheek to grab a meal by the way.

"It's just a matter of adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Since you haven't eaten yet, you can stay here and eat with me." Qin Ran didn't care. Compared to eating alone, it would be more lively to have one more Zhong Qingyi.

"I heard that something went wrong with the shop you opened recently?" Qin Ran slowly picked up the dishes, and asked about Zhong Qingyi's recent situation by the way.

"Queen Mother, I feel heartbroken when I say this. I have only five shops in total. After one was smashed, I have four left. Not to mention the loss of a large amount of money, the number of shops has become so unlucky." Zhong Tsing Yi was a bit lethargic in front of Qin Ran. After all, beauty came first, and her brain didn't have much time for finishing.

"I remember that your father sent someone to take care of you. What is the background of the other party, and he doesn't even give the face of the loyal prince?" Qin Ran handed over some of the power in his hands to Zhou Xingzhi and Ye Ningxuan, so when receiving some news, Time is slightly delayed.

After mentioning this, Zhong Qingyi couldn't help wrinkling his nose, "Queen Mother, I'll tell you in private, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has found some evidence, and those people seem to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials behind them."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials?After hearing this name, Qin Ran's first reaction was Li Zhaoyun.Li Zhaoyun was humiliated by Zhou Xingzhi recently, and at this time the servant of the official department jumped out again. Could there be any connection between the two?

"How does Your Majesty handle this matter?" Qin Ran asked.

"Now the evidence is not sufficient. Your Majesty asked the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to continue to investigate to see if the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was personally involved in this matter." Zhong Qingyi said, "Your Majesty also asked me to find some big merchants to cooperate with, so that it is convenient to transfer the goods. sold all over the country."

Qin Ran nodded, looking at Zhong Qingyi with somewhat complicated eyes.It's not easy for Zhong Qingyi to make a career, but what's even more difficult is that she still has the status of a concubine.

Speaking of it, it was also Zhong Qingyi's good luck that he met Zhou Xingzhi, an emperor who disguised himself as a man.He is not greedy for beauty, nor is he expected to restrain women.

If I was born a few years later, maybe I would be the same as Zhong Qingyi?

"Queen, I met an opera troupe on the road, do you like listening to opera?" Zhong Qingyi asked.

Qin Ran nodded dispensably, "There are only a few of you in the harem, sometimes it feels too quiet, so I called a troupe in, and it's quite lively."

"Then Queen Mother, you can go out of the palace to have a look. It's very lively outside the palace." Zhong Qingyi said, "And there are many interesting story books in the bookstore, especially the storyteller in the teahouse, who tell stories in a consistent way. One set, very attractive."

"Really?" Qin Ran was a little moved, but still shook his head after thinking about his identity, "Outside the palace is really interesting, but my identity is doomed, I can't leave the palace."

"Queen Mother, I think what you said is wrong." Zhong Qingyi suppressed the smile on his face, and analyzed seriously, "According to the rules, your Majesty, the Queen, and I should not leave the palace, but we should go out anyway." Yet."

Zhong Qingyi continued, "Queen Mother, in my opinion, you are not bound by the rules, you are bound by yourself."
