When Zhao Sansi made a fuss, Gu Xizhao never gave her a way out. She was frustrated and awkward, but she was also angry. So, the two people who had never quarreled before actually had a cold war inexplicably.

She was unhappy and put too much energy into trouble. When she was free, she remembered that the two sisters of Concubine Yu had not dealt with yet. She was thinking about how to vent her anger on her concubine, Cai Jun promptly persuaded her.

"Emperor, Concubine Yu cannot deal with it now. The person who put the sachets to Mrs. Gu that day has not been found out yet. We still have to keep clues to investigate."

"A bunch of useless things, it's almost half a month since this has passed. I can't find out such a small matter." Zhao Sansi was already angry, and with the time of coming, his face became more and more ugly. As soon as Cai Jun advised her, she immediately vented her anger on the people. After scolding her, she was a little cowardly. She took a breath and went to see Cai Jun secretly, "Prime Minister, don't get me wrong, I'm not scolding you."

The little emperor has more and more auras, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Although Cai Jun was a little lost, the little emperor was no longer the soft and cute appearance he used to be, but he was more relieved. When he heard her last sentence, the little bit of loss in his heart disappeared, "The emperor is right, it is because the ministers and others are incompetent."

Zhao Sansi didn't respond, lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment, he tilted his head and looked at Cai Jun, "The Prime Minister said who in this palace would harm Mrs. Gu so much?"

She was not concerned about the sachet at first because she knew that Gu Xizhao was not pregnant, and as long as she was with her, she would not be pregnant in the future. But after thinking about it over the past two days, she felt something was wrong. If the sachet was arranged by Concubine Yu, she would not foolishly push people on New Year's Eve. As for Concubine Yu that night, her concubine deliberately misled her and angered her to push her, she would not believe it anyway.

Cai Jun looked at her, "Does the emperor have any guesses in his heart?"

Zhao Sansi frowned, "The concubines of the late emperor, except for Concubine Yu who couldn't recognize the situation and couldn't get along with Mrs. Gu, the others were all scheming, at least in the open. If Concubine Yu had already had this idea, there would be no need to do this on New Year's Eve, but instead it would be anger... After thinking about it, I can't guess."

Cai Jun hesitated for a while, and still spoke carefully, "Now, in the harem, there is one more person in addition to the concubine of the late emperor."

"There is another person..." Zhao Sansi murmured, and soon realized it, "The Prime Minister means that this matter is likely..."

"That's what I mentioned." Cai Jun nodded slightly and paused, "But this matter is very wide and if there is no sufficient evidence, it is impossible to make a conclusion."

Zhao Sansi looked at his slightly heavy face. She wanted to ask why the emperor sister had such a bad intention, but after thinking about it for a moment, she also figured it out. She was no longer a little prince who knew nothing. Knowing that if it was really the bad intention of Princess Mingshao, there were still many forces involved in it.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be too nervous. Things have not been revealed. These are just speculations and cannot be counted." Seeing her tense expression, Cai Jun took the initiative to comfort her.

Zhao Sansi shook his head, then looked at Cai Jun, "Prime Minister."

"Um?"

"If the person who planned this matter was not caused by the jealousy of these women in the harem, then we cannot let the matter continue to be investigated like this."

Cai Jun looked at her, "What does the emperor think?"

Zhao Sansi was a little confused about how to speak, and thought for a while before slowly saying: "The emperor's sister has not been in the palace for so many years. Now she can make trouble in the palace once she returns to the palace, and we can't catch any handle. It can be seen that there must be her people in the palace... But no matter what, these people are shameless. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It seems that we are going to be led by their nose, so it is better to turn passive into active."

Cai Jun looked expectant, "How to turn passive into initiative? As the emperor said, the princess, orphans and widows, came from afar, and dared to act like this in the palace. There must be someone behind it. The enemy is in the dark, and if we take a little action, we will startle the snake. If we lose the opportunity, we will most likely be led by the nose."

"The Prime Minister's words are wrong." Zhao Sansi refuted him with great confidence, "The palace is not their territory, they should be cautious in their actions, and all the plants and trees are soldiers. I think we should make a big fuss. This is not called rushing the snake, but leading the snake out of the cave."

Cai Jun was stunned. They had been trapped in the alley of "shocking the snakes" and forgot what the little emperor said. Princess Mingshao and the little prince are now in the palace. If they really take advantage of the little prince's desire to revive the previous dynasty, they should be the ones who will be in trouble first.

Thinking of this, Cai Jun immediately became energetic, "It's my stupidity."

Zhao Sansi smiled, "The Prime Minister is too modest."

Cai Jun also laughed, "Maybe I should say that the emperor is wise."

Zhao Sansi, who was rarely praised by his assistant ministers and grand tutors, was very unprofessed and his face turned red, "Is it... yes?"

Cai Jun looked at her shy appearance and suddenly felt dizzy. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly lowered his head. It must be that he had misunderstood that the little emperor was like a shy girl.

In order not to make him think too much, Cai Jun nodded and quickly changed the subject, "I have heard that the emperor has not allowed Mrs. Gu to sleep in the past two days. The emperor has had a bad time with his wife..."

"How is that possible?" As soon as Cai Jun finished speaking, Zhao Sansi immediately responded and decisively said: "Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense, I have a good relationship with my wife."

Cai Jun raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Is that true?"

"Of course." In order to increase credibility, Zhao Sansi gritted his teeth, "At first glance, the Prime Minister is not a caring person. This woman has such inconvenient days every month..."

Cai Jun blinked. It was for the man who had been married for so many years. He quickly realized what she meant in those days. Looking at Zhao Sansi's face, which was still a little green, he felt incredible. After a while, he sighed, "The Emperor knows so much."

Zhao Sansi didn't say anything. She was a yellow-flowered girl pretending to be a man and discussing the woman's affairs with a man. She was ashamed to death when she thought about it. I wonder if the imperial concubine would beat her up again if she knew it.

Cai Jun looked at her face and turned red again, and felt even more surprised, but he didn't think much about it now. He just thought she was really shy. He tactfully stopped saying more, and said a few irrelevant words to her and left.

With Zhao Sansi's wake-up words, Cai Jun immediately discussed the matter with others. After Duan Fei received the news, he secretly sent the news to Gu Xizhao.

Unlike Zhao Sansi's sulking, Gu Xizhao, who had long been accustomed to sleeping with others, although she was not used to sleeping alone, she would inevitably mutter to Zhao Sansi a few words before going to bed, but she was not as dependent as others. Zhao Sansi had a cold war with her, and she happened to have time to deal with Princess Mingshao.

On the other hand, Concubine Ning had been secretly investigating the cause of Mrs. Qing's death. After so long, she found a clue from a palace maid next to Mrs. An who came to Mingxing Palace to enjoy ginkgo with Princess Mingshao that day. Someone did enter Mrs. Qing's hall that day.

The palace maid next to Mrs. An is a fellow townsman who works with Mrs. Qing. The two often have private meetings together. She came to Mingxing Palace that day. Because Mrs. An didn't want her to serve her, she wanted to secretly find her fellow townsman. Then she saw someone entering Mrs. Qing's side hall.

Gu Xizhao was not surprised by this result. She was puzzled by whom the person was, or who was. "Did the palace maid see clearly what that person looks like?"

"No. She only said that the palace maid had a face and was taller than the average palace maid." Concubine Ning shook her head and immediately added: "But the palace maid said something to me, saying that the palace maid around Mrs. Qing also saw that person that day, but Mrs. Qing's palace maid was not surprised."

Gu Xizhao unconsciously clasped the table and looked at Concubine Ning for a while, "Do you know that Mrs. Qing's palace maid knew about her private meeting with others?"

Concubine Ning nodded, "Mrs. Qing has always been kind to her palace maid, and this palace maid is devoted to her..."

Halfway through the words, Concubine Ning suddenly reacted, "Madam means that the palace maid might be Jiang that day... No wonder she was not a little prepared..."

Concubine Ning looked lonely, and Gu Xizhao glanced at her, "I thought with that Miss Lin San, you should have jumped out of the mud pit of Mrs. Qing."

"Madam, don't joke about me. How can I say all the love I have for so many years?" After hearing this, Concubine Ning smiled bitterly and cheered up again. "If he had really come to Mingxing Palace with Princess Mingshao and the others that day, then what happened next would be reasonable. Since she became pregnant, she has been cautious and uneasy about the things I gave. Her fetal image has always been very good, but if she listened to the sweetheart's sweet words, it would be hard to say..."

"I asked someone to check it out. Jiang Ming was on duty that day, and he had never left." Gu Xizhao answered her words calmly.

"That……"

Gu Xizhao remembered the words of Acropolis and had a vague guess in her heart, "I have an idea about this."

Seeing that she was reluctant to say more, Concubine Ning stopped asking more questions.

The next day, Gu Xizhao took advantage of Zhao Sansi's morning court and went to Chengqian Palace early in the morning and asked Duan Fei to call the Acropolis over.

When the Acropolis came, all the palace servants retreated.

"You are a smart person." After the Acropolis salute, Gu Xizhao stopped going around with him. "What do I call you today? The guards should know what they are doing."

The Acropolis did not respond.

Gu Xizhao held the teacup and blew it on, then covered it, "Is the eldest son of the Jiang family not dead at all?"

The Acropolis immediately knelt down, "I don't know."

Gu Xizhao's expression has not changed, "A good man should value affection, but he should be more important. Acropolis, you are a promising person."

The room was quiet for a long time before Aicheng whispered, "I really don't know. I just heard him say once after drinking. In fact, he is the eldest son of the Jiang family. Because he looks so much like his younger brother, his parents can't tell him. After sending the person away, he realized that he had sent the wrong person..."

Send it away?

That is still alive.

Gu Xizhao thought for a moment, then raised her hand to the Acropolis, "Get up."

The Acropolis did not stand up, "Everything is true, please trust the wife."

"Then I ask you, are you happy to betroth the flower to Jiang Ming, do you tell me the truth?"

Acropolis hesitated for a moment, kowtowed to Gu Xizhao, and then said, "I am not happy."

"Why not happy?"

"I am happy to see the girl Huarong."

"Apart from that, are there any other reasons?"

"In addition... there is also...the girl that Guard Jiang has the intention."

"How do you know the girl he wants?"

Acropolis closed his eyes and looked depressed, "He has met with people in the palace several times, so please ask Weichen to cover him."

Gu Xizhao chuckled, "I never thought that the guards were such a betrayal of friends for women."

Acropolis shrank for a moment, "I should die if my friend is injustice. But I should be disloyal to the emperor and his wife. I should die even more. I should not betray the guard Jiang, not just for Miss Huarong, but... but I suspect that Guard Jiang is from the previous dynasty."

Gu Xizhao didn't speak.

The Acropolis was crawling on the ground, "The previous dynasty has perished for so long, and the people of the previous dynasty have now surrendered to our dynasty. It is also impossible to enter the dynasty as an official. But the strange thing about the Jiang family is that it is here. Many rules in the mansion followed the previous dynasty, but they wanted to disguise themselves as..."

Gu Xizhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Hurry up, guards, it's just a joke I made with you."

The Acropolis then stood up and stood on one side, not talking more.

"I am very pleased that you can say these words to me truthfully today." Gu Xizhao put down the teacup. "As for these words today, you should know whether to let the third party know them again. Go ahead."

Acropolis glanced at her and saw that her face was normal, then he replied and said aside.

After leaving the Acropolis, Gu Xizhao sat in the warm pavilion for a while, and then regardless of Li Zhongxian's attempt to keep him, he took Chan'er and others back to Changle Palace.

She is not the lord of the Six Palaces now, and she cannot tell the guards to go to the harem without authorization, so she can only come to Chengqian Palace for questions.

The matter of keeping the sachet was slowly investigated to lead the people behind Princess Mingshao. The matter of the sachet was always going so calmly because she was afraid of alarming the snake. Now, in order to lead the snake out of the hole, under Cai Jun's instruction, some court officials put the matter in the court again.

Cai Jun fanned the flames in the court, and Gu Xizhao was not idle in the harem, so he asked Lin Wanqing to continue to sow discord Princess Mingshao and Concubine Yu. While encouraging Princess Mingshao to take action, he urged Concubine Yu to let go and took the initiative to tell Princess Mingshao.

However, before Gu Xizhao and the others continued to investigate, Princess Mingshao couldn't hold back her anger.

On the night of the 14th day of the first lunar month, an assassin appeared in Yihua Palace.
