Jiang Jingqiao felt more and more uneasy, thought for a while and asked, "Has the place where she lives been cleaned?"

Lan Ke heard this and said: "The house has been cleared out, and her clothes were buried along with it, but the furnishings in the house are still there."

"Go, take a look." Jiang Jingqiao said and walked out.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhi exchanged glances with Lan Ke and followed.

Jiang Jingqiao pushed open the red-painted door and walked in, turned around. The room was indeed clean, but when he was about to go around the table and go out, he found that the ground under his feet was very loose.

Jiang Jingqiao was stunned, took his foot away from the floor tile, squatted down, took out a dagger from his boots and put it in the gap between the floor tiles, gently opened it, and the floor tile was indeed opened.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhi quickly squatted beside Jiang Jingqiao and looked down, only to see that there was indeed a hidden compartment below, but unfortunately there was nothing inside.

"What's that?" Jiang Jingqiao had sharp eyes, and found a small blue object in the corner of the dark compartment, and knelt on the ground to take it out.

Zhao Qingzhi looked at it and said, "It looks like a decoration on jewelry."

Jiang Jingqiao took the small blue piece that looked like a plum blossom in his hand and looked at it, his expression suddenly became ugly.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Jiang Jingqiao's expression turned pale, Zhao Qingzhi asked anxiously in her heart.

Jiang Jingqiao stood up holding the small blue piece and said, "This kind of blue is one of the most commonly used colors for enamel. It is only available in the court, and the shape of this plum blossom is like an ornament on the nails of concubines in the harem. It should be The plum blossoms have fallen off over time, and the old woman may not have noticed when she took them away."

"Something from the harem?" Zhao Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "This old lady is an old maid, did she steal the master when she was young?"

Jiang Jingqiao shook her head and said, "I have a feeling that this old lady is not a court lady, but a concubine in the palace."

"Why do you know that?" Zhao Qingzhi didn't believe it. "If it's the master, then at this age, he can be the mother of the late emperor. Even if he has no children, he can be cared for. How could he be reduced to an old maid?"

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao folded her arms and looked Zhao Qingzhi up and down.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Qingzhi asked.

Jiang Jingqiao said with a smile: "This king is thinking, no matter how smart a person wakes up early in the morning, his mind will sometimes be muddy."

Zhao Qingzhi rolled Jiang Jingqiao's eyes when she heard the words, and said, "I want to ask His Highness for advice."

Jiang Jingqiao put away the plum blossoms, and walked out, saying: "First of all, assuming that this woman really stole the master's jewelry, then she must be a lover of money. There are so many things in the palace, so steal some and sell them to the public. The palace has already gone out to get married, why wait until this age to be assigned out of the palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Is there still money to spend?"

Zhao Qingzhi felt that there was some truth in hearing the words, and slowly followed Jiang Jingqiao, saying: "If she is the master, how can people in the palace recognize the master as a palace maid?"

Jiang Jingqiao stopped and remained silent. Just when Zhao Qingzhi felt that Jiang Jingqiao hadn't figured it out, he heard Jiang Jingqiao's sad voice.

"The concubine is pretending to be dead. If she pretends to be a court lady or aunt in real life, as long as someone covers her, no one will see through." Jiang Jingqiao said and looked at Zhao Qingzhi, "Do you still remember the concubine Yi I told you about who is still alive?"

"Ms. Yi Concubine?" Zhao Qingzhi felt a little unbelievable, "If it is true as His Highness guessed, why is she lurking by your side?"

"I don't know about that." Jiang Jingqiao said while looking at Zhao Qingzhi, "I can't think of who this old woman's identity is other than Concubine Yi, and the people in the harem I only know that Concubine Yi died in a fake death. It seems that I have to go to the palace to see the queen immediately."

Zhao Qingzhi hurriedly said: "This matter is important, you should go quickly."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao said with shame on her face: "I promised to accompany my grandmother to the Zhao Mansion with you, but now I'm afraid I'm going to renege on my promise."

"There are always priorities, you go, I will go with my grandmother after finishing the affairs of the house." Zhao Qingzhi said slowly.

Jiang Jingqiao nodded, looked at Lan Ke and said, "You stay by Wangfei's side. Starting today, Wangfei can take care of all the affairs in the mansion."

"Here." Lan Ke responded with a smile. It seems that the relationship between her highness and the princess has warmed up a lot after going out this time.

"Then I'm leaving." Jiang Jingqiao squeezed Zhao Qingzhi's hand and left quickly. Judging from her mother's reaction yesterday, she knew that her mother must know something.

After Jiang Jingqiao left, Zhao Qingzhi asked Lan Ke to summon all the servants in Prince Jing's mansion to the front hall, and expelled several guards, maids and nuns from the mansion in public.

- For a while, there was constant wailing in Prince Jing's mansion, especially the older nuns, who were dragged out of the mansion and hugged the stone lion in front of Prince Jing's mansion, crying loudly.

Lan Ke led people to send out their clothes, and said: "Evil slaves deceive the master, and there are even those who collude with the rebellious ministers. They should have been killed with sticks, but King Jing and Wangfei have kind hearts and only expelled you from the mansion. Ruoer and others If you don't feel grateful and continue to yell at the mansion, you can only take it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for conviction."

As soon as these words came out, the weeping nanny stopped crying, stepped forward to take her own package cheekily, bowed her head and left while wanting to scold but didn't dare to scold.

Lan Ke cleared away the old people outside the mansion, and said to the guards behind him: "Go and prepare the sedan chair, the princess is leaving the mansion."

"Here." The guards responded and turned to leave.

When she was young, Zhao Qingzhi took Meng Qing and Xing Wu out of the gate, got into a sedan chair and headed for Xu's house in the capital.

At this time, Jiang Jingqiao had already entered the palace, panting and came to the gate of Longevity Palace, she saw Chang Xiao standing at the gate of the main hall looking around, and saw her running up with a smile on her face.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is resting, and no one has been seen."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao frowned and said, "Stop making plays, why doesn't the queen mother see me?"

"The Empress Dowager is sleepy and exhausted." Chang laughed.

"I heard that the king has entered the palace, so I asked you to wait and stop me at the gate of the palace. If you are so energetic and avoid seeing me, why are you tired?" Jiang Jingqiao said, avoiding Chang Xiao and walking in. .

Seeing this, Chang Xiao hurriedly chased up to stop him and said, "Your Highness, don't be a slave."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao stopped, thought for a while, then turned and walked out.

Chang Xiao was stunned, King Jing compromised so easily this time?This is not quite like King Jing.

Jiang Jingqiao went out of the gate of the Longevity Palace, came under the red wall behind the Longevity Palace, jumped and landed on the glazed tiles of the Longevity Palace, then flew to the ground while the people below walked by, and quickly flashed into the inner room of the Empress Dowager's bedroom through the rear window.

"Queen Mother." Chang Xiao entered the outer room of the dormitory, "King Jing has left."

"So soon?" The queen mother was surprised, "When did this little bastard get away so easily? Well, no matter what the reason is, it's fine to leave, as long as she doesn't come to Worry's house, let her go."

"Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Yi is not dead, so is the Empress Dowager not afraid that she may have some conspiracy?" asked the nun next to her.

Jiang Jingqiao—hearing that Concubine Yi was mentioned, she quickly pressed her ear to the door of the inner room.

"With Lao Shi here, no matter how conspiring she is, the Ai family will not be afraid of her." The queen mother said leisurely.

Jiang Jingqiao was stunned, why does this matter involve her tenth brother again?

"Ai's family is really tired now, let's help Ai's family go in and rest." The queen mother stretched out her hand, and the mother quickly helped her up.

The master and servant turned around and went to the inner bedroom. Jiang Jingqiao looked around, thought for a while, and simply stopped hiding, and stood at the door with arms folded.

The footsteps were getting closer, and the door creaked open.

"Scared!" The queen mother was so scared that she covered her heart when she saw the person.

"Mother, Jing Qiao greets you." Jiang Jingqiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You bastard, when did you sneak in? Oops, I'm scared to death by you. There's something wrong with you." The queen mother gritted her teeth and went forward to beat Jiang Jingqiao, "Hurry up, get out of here, just look at you!" bother."

"After the queen mother explained the confusion to the son, the son didn't need the mother to urge the son to roll away." Jiang Jingqiao said with a step forward, and said with a smile: "Mother, why is the tenth brother here? The mother is not afraid of the concubine Yi. Did you make a fool of yourself?"

The queen mother swallowed when she heard the words, and then stroked her forehead with her hands, and said: "You little bastard, I was so scared by you that Aijia's heart beat so hard that I couldn't breathe."

"Then cover your heart so hard, what are you doing covering your forehead?" Jiang Jingqiao said leisurely.

When the Queen Mother heard this, the hand touching her forehead trembled twice. She committed a crime. She gave birth to such a thing and opposed her since she was a child.

"Well, my heart hurts, and my head hurts too. Mammy, help Ai's family to rest on the bed." The queen mother winked at Mammy as she spoke, and lay down leisurely on the edge of the bed.

Jiang Jingqiao slightly-sighed, walked to the bed, took out a piece of blue plum blossom and bent over, "Mother, what are you looking at?"

The queen mother tightly closed her eyes, as long as she didn't open her eyes, she wouldn't be able to catch the little bastard.

"The queen mother really doesn't look at—eyes?"

The queen mother pursed her lips when she heard the words, and just looked at it, and it was no big deal to look at her, as long as she didn't speak, it was fine.

The Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes, seeing what was in front of her, she was taken aback for a moment, a little dazed, and then carefully - lo and behold, her complexion suddenly changed.

"Mother, can you recognize this thing?" Jiang Jingqiao followed closely.

"Oh, I'm getting old, my eyes are blurry, and the queen mother has a severe headache, I really need to rest." The queen mother closed her eyes as she said.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao put her hands behind her back and resorted to her trump card: "Immortal Concubine Yi lives in Erchen's Mansion in disguise."

"What the hell?" The originally weak queen mother suddenly sat up, looking at her daughter nervously, "Did she do anything to you? Silly child, have you ever confronted her? Have you ever felt the pain in your body? What's the difference?"

Jiang Jingqiao pursed her lips, looked at her mother who was so nervous, squatted down slowly, held the queen mother's hand and said: "Mother, my son is fine, there is an old woman in the son's mansion, she froze to death a few days ago, she There is a secret compartment in the room, and the plum blossom fell into the secret compartment, and my son suspects that this old woman was made by Yi Concubine in disguise."

The queen mother heard the words and glanced at the nanny next to her, and the nanny turned and left, closing the door behind her.

The Empress Dowager sighed slightly, reached out to take the plum blossom piece, she did not expect Concubine Yi to be around her daughter.

"I didn't want to tell you about it at first. It's useless to talk about the past, but since Concubine Yi wants to surround you, it's better for you to know some things. If it falls into her hands, it can save your life."

Jiang Jingqiao sat down next to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, tell me."

"Hey, in the winter 23 years ago, Concubine Yi and Concubine Ning in the palace gave birth at the same time. Because Concubine Ning and I have a good relationship, I stayed by her side. But the baby didn't cry when it was born. Passed out, I was so panicked at the time, so I was passed on to the imperial doctor who was guarding outside."

The queen mother stood up slowly as she spoke, walked to the window, opened it, and felt the cold wind.

"At that time, your cousin was on duty. When he came in, he looked at the child and shook his head secretly at me. I knew the child had gone, so I mustered up my energy and went to find your father. On the way, I met the eunuch, who held— a baby."

Jiang Jingqiao heard the words and said, "A eunuch is holding a baby???"

"It's Concubine Li's newly-born Ninth Prince. Your father, because of Concubine Li's true identity, ordered the eunuch next to him to secretly execute this newborn child."

"This is impossible!!" Jiang Jingqiao was shocked when he heard it, "Father is kind, how could he attack his own child??"

The queen mother looked at her daughter with pity.

"Mother, tell me, you lied to me just now, just tell me." Jiang Jingqiao didn't want to believe it. Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, it doesn't eat its offspring. It is impossible in this world to have a father who executes his own flesh and blood. It's even more impossible.
