Confused about whether to tell Empress Dowager Li the truth, Mu Qiao missed the modern and convenient communication equipment very much-even if she is given a big brother now, let her consult Gongsun Ce!

But obviously this is unrealistic.After immersing herself in imagination for a while, Mu Qiao pulled herself together, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, she asked cautiously, "The empress dowager...has something been found?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled slightly, she didn't seem to be very hostile, at least not as calm as when she talked with Mu Qiao before.She said: "If it is not found, will the Ai family ask this question? And the Ai family probably knows who that person is."

Mu Qiao's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?" The Kaifeng government is also doing its best to track down this person, but there is too little information about this person, and they usually act cautiously. Now they can only draw a rough range to delineate this person They must be relatives of the emperor, but they have no idea who they are. After all, Bao Zheng is just used to it. In order to avoid suspicion, he seldom communicates with the relatives of the emperor. As a result, they have very little information on this matter, and there is no way to seriously rule it out. .

Empress Dowager Li nodded: "The Ai family has their own wrists and connections." After all, she is not the idiot who was not allowed to be in the harem back then. After so many years of wandering, it is enough for her to think through everything. After she came back, she also built her own intelligence system through Chen Lin. In addition, the emperor felt that she owed her, and did not impose restrictions on her in many things, so it didn't take much time for Queen Mother Li to find out some clues.

Empress Dowager Li is not people like Mu Qiao and the others. She has lived in the palace for so many years, so she knows more about the royal family than they do.These clues may not be visible in front of others, but there is nothing to hide in front of her.However, it has not been long since Queen Mother Li returned to the highest power center in this country, and she only figured out the matter yesterday, and today she has been recruiting Mu Qiao non-stop to ask questions.

Empress Dowager Li talked about this, and Mu Qiao was almost able to make a decisive decision.

She nodded and said: "The Empress Dowager expected it well, Master Bao also felt that the one who changed Chen Shimei's record and allowed him to become a son-in-law was the mastermind who made the Empress wronged back then."

Empress Dowager Li nodded slowly and said, "That's true."

Mu Qiao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is one more thing, Mr. Bao doesn't know about it now, it was found by people of low rank and others, so I don't know if it's convenient for me to say it."

She was not sure about Mu Qiao's reaction, but Queen Mother Li didn't care, and said, "But it's okay to say."

Mu Qiao then told about Qin Xianglian being instigated by the mysterious person.

"Although she didn't do it unintentionally, it can be regarded as being a gunman for the person behind the scenes. The humble official thought that she should not know the inside story, so he decided to let her go back to her hometown."

Empress Dowager Li nodded: "If she really knows something, it's better than you doing it. The person behind the scenes will make her speechless forever. You don't have to worry about this. But..." Empress Dowager Li said with a sneer, "This person The hand stretched far longer than Ai Jia thought."

Mu Qiao followed Empress Dowager Li and said a few more words, and then asked carefully: "Empress Dowager, I don't know who you guessed is..."

Empress Dowager Li smiled, patted her hand, and said: "You don't have to be so cautious when talking to Ai's family. In the end, Ai's family owes you something, and you haven't married Zhan Zhao yet. How about this, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to look for Aijia, Aijia will help you. As for the people behind this scene... You ask Bao Zheng to go back and find out what the emperor's uncles are doing. He should I also know it in my heart.”

The investigation has a direction, and Mu Qiao is very excited.They have already been too troubled by this black hand behind the scenes, and now they can finally turn to be hunters again, who would not be excited?

Empress Dowager Li saw Mu Qiao's emotions, and she herself was very anxious about this matter, so she said, "It's getting late, let Eunuch Zhao take you back."

Mu Qiao said: "Resign from the humble position."

After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Mu Qiao was directly pulled into the study.After entering the room, she took a closer look and saw that there were already a lot of people: Kaifeng's three sons, four captains, five mice were all there, and the small study instantly seemed tense.

Mu Qiao took a deep breath, feeling a little out of breath.

Zhao Hu was short-tempered. When he saw her, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Mu, what did the queen mother ask you for?"

Zhang Long suppressed his partner helplessly: "Let her take it easy first, why are you in a hurry?"

Zhan Zhao poured Mu Qiao a glass of water and told her to speak slowly.

After a while, Gongsun Ce said: "What is the queen mother announcing you?"

Mu Qiao said: "Mr. Gongsun's prediction was right. The Queen Mother really went to investigate Chen Shimei, and found out that the culprit behind this case is the one who was behind the case of the civet cat for the prince. And..." She paused, "The Queen Mother said, she has already noticed who this person is."

Bao Zheng's surprise only lasted for a moment, and then he nodded slowly: "It should be so. The Empress Dowager knows much more about the royal family than we do. If I had thought of this earlier, I would have exchanged the news with the Empress Dowager. Whether there is or not, maybe we have already caught that person's pigtail."

Gongsun Ce said: "It's not too late now. I just don't know if the Empress Dowager is willing to tell us the news."

Mu Qiao hurriedly said: "Don't worry about this, the empress dowager has already given a reminder, saying that once you tell your lord, you will have a clue."

Bao Zheng said: "Oh? Let's hear it."

Mu Qiao said: "The Empress Dowager said, let your lord check out the emperor's uncles." After repeating the report, she was still a little puzzled, "The emperor's uncles, do you mean the Eight Sage Kings? But if the Eight Sage Kings have this meaning , as long as you don’t return the power of the regent to the emperor, wouldn’t it be fine? After so many years, it has already succeeded.”

When the first emperor passed away, the emperor was still young, and the eight sage kings were ordered to take the post of regent in the face of danger, to assist the emperor in political affairs before he came of age.The Baxian King is quite talented, diligent and conscientious, and manages the country in an orderly manner. Back then, countless people suggested to the Baxian King that he should replace the emperor, but the Baxian King didn't take it seriously. So he returned to the emperor and went away on his own. I don’t know how many people scolded him for being a fool, but the eight virtuous kings were happy for themselves, and no one could do anything to him.

After arriving in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao once introduced the deeds of the Eight Sage Kings to Mu Qiao, and she was fascinated by what she heard.I'm afraid that no one would not envy Ba Xian Wang, a leisurely and free-spirited person, so when the queen mother said it, she first ruled out Ba Xian Wang.

Bao Zheng nodded: "Of course the Eight Sage Kings won't. If he wants to be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he doesn't have to be so troublesome. But although the late emperor's descendants are withered, he has many brothers. The Eight Sage Kings are the eighth son of the late emperor. Brother, besides that, there are King Sanlian and Xiangyang..."

Bao Zheng suddenly stopped talking.He seems to have thought of something.

"grown ups?"

Bao Zheng raised his hand: "I have an idea, but I still need to verify it. Lu Fang and Jiang Ping, you two come here with your ears..."
