Chapter 1658 Investigation
Man Bao had never taken a princess out before, so he hesitated, "Is it okay? You can leave the palace at will?"
"Of course it's not possible casually, but you can still go out if you find a reason," Chang Yu lowered his voice and said: "In the past, when the third brother didn't declare the vassal state, I always used the excuse that I wanted to see the third brother leave the palace. Later, the third brother came out of the palace.
If my brother goes away, it will be difficult for me to find a reason, alas..."
In fact, Chang Yu has a good relationship with Prince Gong. Every time she and her brothers want to go to the palace, they always ask him for help. In comparison, the prince's brother is much stricter.
Mingda didn't care about Chang Yu's sadness, and said to Man Bao, "Anyway, just give us a few nice words when we leave the palace."
There is no problem with this. Man Bao patted his chest and said, "This is not difficult. Just ask me to come over when you want me to intercede."
Man Bao thought of the needle bag she had just touched and couldn't help but ask the two of them, "Is there any news in the palace these days?"
"News? Isn't the biggest news that the vassal states paid tribute on the 16th?" Mingda glanced at Chang Yu and said: "Countries have paid tribute to many treasures. For example, a small country in the Western Regions has donated a horse to the father. I heard that it
He has the blood of a sweaty horse, he is a divine horse."
Changyu added: "The Goryeo I just mentioned, in addition to ten beauties, there are also tributes such as ginseng and deer antlers. Anyway, there are quite a lot of them."
Man Bao listened with envy, "Are these gifts for His Majesty?"
Mingda said uncertainly: "It's for my father, right? If it's given to us in Jin Dynasty, isn't it for our father?"
"Of course it is different. What is collected into the private treasury is for His Majesty, and what is collected into the state treasury is for the Jin Dynasty and is managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs." Recently, the Imperial Medical Office has been asking for money from the inner treasury and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The procedures are different. After hearing this, Man Bao felt a headache and deeply sympathized with Xiao Yuanzheng and others.
Mingda said: "It's for my father. My former father also gave me a box of pearls presented by the Japanese state."
It is impossible for the emperor to give things from the household department to his daughters, only things from the private treasury.
Manbao knew it well. If it was something in the private treasury, she might have a chance to see it in the future. I heard that there were a lot of medicinal materials in Korea.
"Is there no other news besides this?"
Mingda and Changyu shook their heads together, and then asked with a smile, "Why do you want to watch the excitement? How can there be so much excitement in the palace?"
Mingda smiled and said: "It's been very calm in the palace recently. The imperial grandmother's health has improved a lot. I look forward to my sister-in-law giving birth to the imperial grandson every day."
Man Bao became thoughtful, nodded and smiled with the two of them, "I understand."
Then he defended himself, "I didn't want to watch the excitement."
However, neither Mingda nor Changyu believed it very much.
Man Bao returned to the house, and after asking Ke Ke, he took the needle bag in the medicine box into the system space, took out the bag of needle bags that had been touched and put it into the medicine box, then put it together and put it in the system space.
aside.
Man Bao asked: "What is she doing?"
Keke sent her the recorded video and said, "She is folding clothes for you."
Xu Yu is responsible for Man Bao's daily life. She washes, collects, and folds her clothes, and she also cleans the room. Man Bao thought that if she was a bad person, he could harm her from many places, but he didn't expect it.
In the end, her medicine box was tampered with, but there was no evidence at the moment. Man Bao asked, "Did she do it?"
Keke: "...I don't know."
Man Bao held up his chin and sighed, "It's my fault for letting down my guard, but I can't spend points every day to let you stare at my room, right? It's fine with you, but what if I don't have you?"
Keke said nothing.
Man Bao quickly cheered up, turned his head and glanced at the medicine box placed next to him, and said, "Let's wait until this matter comes to light. Then I will put the medicine box in Chongwen Hall."
Bai Shan's view on this is, "The Chongwen Museum may not be safe, because there are more people and troubles there."
He said: "You can only catch a thief in a thousand miles, but how can you guard against a thief in a thousand days?"
Man Bao asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Bai Shan turned around and went to Yang Heshu, asking him to help check Xu Yu.
Yang Heshu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want to investigate a palace maid?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "I just have some doubts in my heart. I want to know where she is from and who else is in her family. It's just that it's not convenient for us to enter and exit the palace, so I want to ask Senior Brother Yang to help check."
Yang Heshu thought about it and agreed.
It is not difficult for Yang Heshu to check the family background of a palace maid. Not to mention Yang's connections, even though he is currently working as an errand in the palace, it is not difficult to find out the birthplace of a palace maid.
Yang Heshu gave Bai Shan a note the next day, saying: "I am from Xuzhou. In addition to my parents, I have two brothers and a sister in my family."
Bai Shan took the note and thanked him.
Yang Heshu asked with a smile, "Can you tell why you checked her now?"
Man Bao didn't catch her, but the people in the palace were mixed, who knew if it was her?
If not, wouldn't they be harming innocent people by making rash guesses?
Well, in fact, she is not very innocent. She has been keeping an eye on Man Bao's whereabouts several times, but one code leads to the other.
So Bai Shan shook his head and didn't tell Yang Heshu anything.
Yang Heshu smiled and didn't force himself to ask, what else could the affairs in the palace be for?
Nothing more than that.
Bai Shan didn't let it go, and turned around to find Yin You, "People from Xuzhou, I will ask someone to go to Xuzhou to check after I leave the palace. You asked Ma Fuming to help me ask if anyone has been there in the past six months."
Come visit Xu Yu."
Ma Fuming was the chamberlain who specially served Yin He and Liu Huan, because Yin He treated him well, and Ma Fuming was very obedient to Yin He. Although he did not show it, Bai Shan vaguely knew that Ma Fuming had joined the Yin family.
Yin You didn't refuse. After writing it down, he asked Ma Fuming to check it out that night.
The chamberlains and maids have their own sources of information. They can sit under the tree with people and chat with others, and they can get a lot of information just by talking.
As long as it's not a secret, the palace people are still willing to communicate.
For example, relatives coming to visit oneself is a topic that can be brought up at any time, because it is valued by relatives and is also a supporter for them in the palace.
Not physically, but also spiritually.
Having hope is better than having no hope, right?
It can be said that in addition to comparing clothes, jewelry and rewards, the most important thing the palace ladies compete with is their family.
Moreover, the release day is different for each person every month, but it is a group of people meeting together at a time, so it is basically impossible to hide it from anyone.
The next day Ma Fuming reported: "Xu Yu has an aunt in the capital. She comes to visit Xu Yu every month and brings her some shoes, socks and small jewelry. Xu Yu also entrusts her aunt with the money he saves.
She was sent home, and she also met her aunt on her release day this month, but other than that, I couldn’t ask anything else."
