Chapter 368 The Disappearing Palace Maid

Qian Rongsheng hurriedly said: "In reply to the Queen Mother, I have sent someone to check the whereabouts of the maid. She left the palace not long ago, just after Miss Song fell into the water."

Princess Wang was eager to protect her daughter, but her brain was not good enough. She said to the Imperial Concubine anxiously: "In order to protect the maid who committed the crime, you actually sent her out of the palace! Do you think that leaving the palace can prove that this person has nothing to do with you?"

The Queen Mother looked at Princess Wang strangely and said: "The Emperor ordered that no one around the Imperial Concubine could leave the palace at will. The Imperial Concubine is letting her out now. It should be to pass on the news to the Li family. "

Li Guifei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know any palace maids near Qianli Pond. I just felt bored in my own palace and came out to get some fresh air."

The emperor didn't want to listen to her nonsense, and told Qian Rongsheng beside him: "Close the gates of Guanju Palace tightly, and don't let an ant out. All the servants here should be locked up to prevent the news from leaking to the outside. Once the person returns to the palace, arrest him immediately."

When the palace maid killed someone, she might not have thought that the person would come back. Most of them would return to the palace after passing on the news.

If Song Miaomiao hadn't seen Li Guifei, the emperor might have covered up for her. Now that the victim has personally accused her, it seems meaningless to obstruct the arrest of the key palace maid.

The love between husband and wife for many years is important, and the stability of his own country is also very important.

After a lively day, the emperor was tired and returned to the palace.

The queen mother didn't look tired at all, but strolled around the imperial garden with interest.

"Your Highness, don't worry. The Imperial Concubine is vicious. Even if you can't find out the relationship between her and the criminal Li Chaosheng, Your Majesty will gradually ignore her. At that time, she will naturally be at your disposal." Nanny Sun said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the Emperor to be more sober and stay away from such a vicious woman."

Nanny Sun said again, "Your Highness, there is news from the Tianshi Mansion that the National Master has been in seclusion for a long time and does not seem to be studying Taoism."

"If he is not studying Taoism, what is he doing? He will not study these things in the harem." The Queen Mother said casually.

This National Master was recommended by Imperial Concubine Li. He was one of the many disciples of the previous National Master. I don't know where he got the attention of the Imperial Concubine. After the previous National Master passed away, this disciple whose Taoism was not outstanding succeeded him.

"It is said that he is now seriously ill and can no longer get out of bed. Precious medicinal herbs are being sent in like water, and even the Li family has found a lot for him." Nanny Sun said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother frowned, her face full of confusion: "He doesn't go out, he has been staying in the Tianshi Mansion for many years, he is not old, how can it be so serious? He didn't ask for a doctor?"

Madame Sun shook her head: "This news is still hidden from the outside, I don't know what he is taboo about, he looks so shameful, it seems that he is very taboo to ask for a doctor."

The Queen Mother just thought about it for a while and said: "The person who has close contact with Concubine Li, how can he be a good person."

Madame Sun's eyes moved, and she lowered her voice again, saying: "The national teacher is less than 40 this year, and the concubine has frequent contact with him. Is there anything between them..."

The Queen Mother interrupted her immediately and said: "Shut up."

Although they have close contact, there is probably nothing between the two. Otherwise, the concubine would have secretly conceived the national teacher's child, and would not be like now, hoping to conceive a dragon seed like other people who want children.

"Whether it's for the sake of the relationship between me and the emperor, or for your life, don't mention it again." The Queen Mother warned.

Nanny Sun lowered her head in fear.

The Queen Mother also lost interest in visiting the garden, and turned back to Shoukang Palace. On the way, she did not forget to remind Nanny Sun: "Remember to send someone to bring Niuniu back. Song Miaomiao needs to rest. She has been there all the time. I am afraid that Concubine Wang will not like it."

Nanny Sun respectfully agreed, but she couldn't help thinking in her heart that the Queen Mother was not afraid that Concubine Wang would be unhappy, but simply wanted Niuniu to stay by her side all the time.

"Niuniu said yesterday that the river shrimps were delicious. Remember to remind the imperial kitchen today not to forget this matter." The Queen Mother said again.

Nanny Sun hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, just put your heart at ease. I told the imperial kitchen about this last night, and they dare not forget it."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I don't know how this little girl grew up, but she can eat a plate of small river shrimps in one breath. It's rare to have something she likes so much. I'm afraid she has food accumulation."

Nanny Sun also laughed and said, "Empress Dowager, haven't you noticed? Eating and sleeping with Niuniu, you can not only eat more now, but also sleep more comfortably at night."

The Empress Dowager has a ruddy complexion recently, and she looks younger. In the past, she always couldn't sleep well at night and woke up early every day. Now she can sleep well with a good baby in her arms.

"It's a pity, after all, it's the child of the Gu family, and sooner or later she will return to her own home." The Empress Dowager sighed.

Nanny Sun said casually: "Empress Dowager, you can make her your own."

The Empress Dowager naturally understood what Nanny Sun meant. She wanted the emperor to adopt her as his adopted daughter, and to make her a princess or a princess, and then she could justifiably keep the child at home.

But even here, Niuniu couldn't stop her from missing home.

The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. The palace is in a mess, and I'm afraid Niuniu will be bullied."

"Don't worry, Niuniu looks simple and honest, but she's actually very smart."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "This girl is really smart. She can actually come up with such a way to save a drowning person."

At this time, in the palace of the concubines, Niu Niu couldn't hold it back and sneezed heavily.

"Who is thinking about me?" Niuniu blurted out.

Qin Jingshu said: "Maybe your parents are talking about you at home."

Niu Niu nodded immediately and said with a grimace: "It must be like this. It has been eight days since I last saw my mother. When will the palace hold another palace banquet?"

These words brought up Song Miaomiao's sadness, and the little girl burst into tears: "I miss my mother too, and I don't know if she has given birth to a little sister for me."

Qin Jingshu watched the two of them cry. She didn't miss her mother, but she missed her eldest brother and second aunt. Her nose became sore and she also dropped the golden beans.

Concubine Wang also didn't expect that as soon as she turned around to prepare snacks, the room would burst into tears, and her head suddenly became huge.

"Who bullied you?" Wang Concubine asked.

Song Miaomiao was greatly wronged, and she would not hide herself at this time, saying: "I miss my parents, I miss my grandfather, and I want to go out to the palace."
