Chapter 289 Clues

Shen Ziheng looked at his cold-faced sister and sighed, "Sister, the mother of King Fuqing is the Empress Dowager, who is the sister of the Empress Dowager. Among other things, the imperial concubine is excellent, and she treats the late emperor and the emperor very well. She never asks about the court, and the reputation in the harem is excellent. Since the former emperor ascended the throne, the imperial concubine has never seen the king of Fuqing. Even if the former emperor let the prince of Fuqing enter the palace to see his mother, the imperial concubine was not allowed to avoid suspicion. The former emperor often praised the imperial concubine.

"What about this?" Yingchun was still extremely angry, "Even if she is virtuous, she is also the mother of King Fuqing, isn't she?"

Shen Ziheng shook his head helplessly, "Sister, many things are not as you think. In fact, King Fuqing has already ignored the life and death of the Empress Dowager. King Fuqing never took the initiative to ask to go to the palace to visit the imperial concubine. Even if the mother and son met at a family banquet, they were extremely polite but not close. It has been rumored that King Fuqing did not become emperor in those years and had a great relationship with the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine did not like this son.

"The late emperor still remembered the Empress Dowager's kindness to him in those years, and the emperor was also a very kind and filial person. Therefore, the emperor would definitely not use the Empress Dowager to force the King Fuqing. Today, only the three of us said a rebellious rebellious words. Who in the world is the emperor has nothing to do with us, but my sister wants to think that today's emperor is a generation of wise kings, and I don't hide it from you. I have followed the emperor for so many years and known his character. And you have also seen the character of King Fuqing. Has Shaozu followed King Fuqing over the years? In the end, has King Fuqing ever been soft on his superiors and subordinates of Sun Mansion? But the emperor is different.

Shen Ziheng lowered his eyelids and said, "If it hadn't been for the emperor's memory of my saddle and horse, Jia Shi... wouldn't have saved his life."

Yingchun knew that Shen Ziheng would make some efforts in Jia's family, but he didn't expect that Shen Ziheng returned Jia's kindness with the grace of his life. Yingchun and Sun Shaozu stopped talking.

Shen Ziheng looked at Sun Shaozu and said, "Shaozu, the emperor also knows your situation and is also anxious. You have already defected to the emperor, and you are the emperor's people. The emperor will definitely not care about you. The previous crime of rebellion is equivalent to making up for it.

Sun Shaozu stood up and punched Shen Ziheng, "Please thank the emperor, but now these things have happened in the house, and Yingchun is pregnant again. How can I feel at ease?"

Shen Ziheng nodded, "Don't worry, I'm very clear about this, and I will also help you think about it."

Shen Ziheng talked with Yingchun and Sun Shaozu again. Taking advantage of the night, Shen Ziheng left first.

As soon as Shen Ziheng left, Xiaoyun replied outside the door, "Master, madam, I have something to report."

Yingchun remembered what made Xiaoyun investigate and quickly called Xiaoyun in. Xiaoyun bowed and said, "I have gone to the lake, but I found this." Xiaoyun stretched out her hand, and a small purse was exposed. A small lake-blue purse embroidered with a small lotus flower.

Yingchun reached out and took his purse and asked Xiaoyun, "Where did you find it?"

"But the water is not far away."

"This? ..." Sun Shaozu hesitated, "Why do you look so familiar?"

Yingchun turned over and looked carefully, "Isn't this the purse the old lady gave to several big maids on the day of Laba? I remember that only a few decent girl in my room and the old lady's room have this purse. The girl's purse in my room is embroidered with hibiscus, and the girl's purse in the old lady's room is embroidered with lotus flowers. Is it...in the old lady's house?"

When Yingchun said this, he took a cold breath, and Sun Shaozu's face turned a little pale.

"Don't worry about it first. Could it be that some girl passed by?" Sun Shaozu looked at the sky and said to Yingchun, "Tomorrow morning, you went to your mother's place and quietly called a few maids to ask. It's natural that you won't disturb your mother."

Yingchun knew that Sun Shaozu had a lot of things recently and nodded, "You are reassure. I will go tomorrow morning. I will definitely ask about this purse."

Early the next morning, Yingchun went to greet Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Sun also told Yingchun to be careful and not to walk back and forth. Yingchun agreed with a smile. She glanced at several maids and said to Mrs. Sun, "Mother, I have a lot of family affairs before the New Year. I want to borrow a few maids to use them. I don't know if my mother can give up her love?"

Mrs Sun said with a smile, "If you don't give up love, just ask them to help if you have something to do."

Yingchun retreated, went to the ear room, called Mai Dong, took the bag from his arms, and handed it to Mai Dong, "Look, whose purse is this in your room?"

Mai Dong took it over and looked at it carefully. "Third lady, this is Qingdai's purse. In order to distinguish it from us, Qingdai specially sewed two small dewdrops next to this lotus flower. Look, is it here?"

Yingchun pointed to Mai Dong and saw that there were really two small white dewdrops.

Mai Dong asked, "Third Lady, why is Qingdai's purse here with you?"

Yingchun sighed and said to Mai Dong, "It's a big deal. I can't talk about it first. What about Mai Dong and Qingdai? I just didn't see her."

"Qingdai's mother is ill. Last night, she begged the old lady. The old lady asked her to go home and have a look, but she will almost come back at night."

How can there be such a coincidence? Qingdai won't run away?

Yingchun hurriedly asked Mai Dong, "Where is Qingdai's house?"

Mai Dong saw that Yingchun's face had changed and knew that there might be something big. "It's in the countryside near Zhuangzi, Third Lady, is there something wrong?"

In the spring, Qingdai got up early and left early. If she really went back to her home in the countryside, the time was almost here. If I send someone to chase, I don't know if Qingdai has really gone back to the countryside.

Yingchun smiled at Mai Dong, "It doesn't matter. You're busy first. I'll go back."

Mai Dong sent out to welcome the spring, full of doubts, but did not dare to tell others. When Mrs. Sun asked Mai Dong what his job was, Mai Dong only said that he was going to fold some naked gold and prepare to sacrifice to his ancestors after the Spring Festival. Mrs. Sun was a big-hearted person, so she didn't ask again.

Yingchun returned to her room and immediately called Sun Xi. When Sun Xi came, Yingchun ordered, "Go down. If Qing Dai comes back to the house at night, no matter which door she goes to, as long as she comes back, she will bring someone for me. She is not allowed to go back to the old lady first."

Sun Xi quickly agreed and retreated.

Yingchun frowned. She couldn't believe that this detective would have been with Mrs. Sun's Qingdai over the years.

At the end of the day, Qing Dai did not come back, and the heart of Yingchun began to sink little by little. If Qingdai comes back, it also means that she may be wronged. If Qingdai doesn't come back, it's hard to say. Maybe he just escaped. A spoonful of spring loosened the soil for the flowers, but I didn't look at the flowers. If Qingdai escapes like this, she will never find any more. However, for Sunfu, it is not a bad thing.

At the beginning of the Spring Festival, I felt that time passed very slowly.

At dusk, several women took Qing Dai to the yard to welcome the spring. Qing Dai was a little at a loss. When she saw Yingchun, she quickly asked, "Third lady, I don't know what the maidservant has done wrong. Why don't you allow the maidservant to go back to the old lady's yard?"

Yingchun looked at Qingdai, took the bag from her arms and asked, "Qingdai, is this your purse?"

Qing Dai looked at it and saw that it was indeed her own purse. Qing Dai quickly touched her body and found that her purse had disappeared at some point. Qing Dai hurriedly replied, "If you go back to the third lady, it's my maid's purse, but I don't know how I got to the third lady."

Yingchun shook his purse and stared at Qingdai's face tightly without a smile. "This was found by the water pushed down by Ke'er."

As soon as Qing Dai heard this, her face changed. She knelt in front of Yingchun with a plop, "Third Lady Mingjian, I dare not do those harmful things. If the third lady doesn't take out this purse today, the maidservant doesn't know that the purse has been lost. Please check it clearly. The maidservant has been following the old lady for so long, and the maidservant dare not take a wrong step. If the third lady doesn't believe it, you can ask Mai Dong and Jinyan, not to mention the lake in the garden. Even if it is the house, I have never gone out. The maidservant has been serving the old lady and dares to take half a step away.

Yingchun looked at Qingdai and felt that what Qingdai said was not fake. Yingchun called Sizhu, "Go and call Mai Dong and Jinyan, and say that I have something to ask her for help."

Si Zhu retreated. Yingchun looked at Qingdai, with tears in her eyes. After a while, Si Zhu came with Mai Dong and Jin Yan and asked Ying Chun, but Mai Dong and Jin Yan's words were the same as Qing Dai. Yingchun frowned, and it didn't seem to be Qingdai.

Jin Yan looked at the purse and her eyes flashed, and said hesitantly to Yingchun, "Third lady, I have something to do. I don't know if it's very important. Now I'll return it to the third lady."

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, the maid found Qu Er coming out of the room where we lived. When I saw her panicked, I stopped her and asked. First, she bowed her head and said nothing. Later, she cried and said that she wanted to find something to eat and broke a plate by mistake. She was afraid that we would hit her, so she ran out in panic. I also thought that Qu'er was always greedy. There may be such a thing. I saw that it was indeed broken a plate, so I didn't ask Qu'er again. Now think about it, is it possible that Qu'er stole Qingdai's purse?

Quer? Yingchun's heart tightened. She had some impression of this girl. Once Qu'er accidentally admitted that she had stolen something. But will such a little girl really be the spy of King Fuqing?

Yingchun told them not to tell what happened today, and Qingdai and Mai Dong retreated.

Yingchun called Sizhu, "Go and get the song quickly."
