Chapter 68: Floating Brocade
After Chu Nian walked out of Ling Munan's bedroom, she was absent-minded. She didn't know how she walked back to her bedroom.
After Yun Wange came back from inquiring about it, he saw Chu Nian sitting at the table in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Sister-in-law, have you asked?" Yun Wange walked to Chu Nian and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked.
Chu Nian came back to her senses after hearing Yun Wange's words, "Ling Munan said that her dance clothes were made of floating brocade unique to Dongling Palace."
Chu Nian said this, but now she was thinking about what Ling Munan said to her before she left, "If you don't like my second brother, please don't see him again."
Don’t see Ling Mubei again? I have no intention of Ling Mubei, so it’s better not to delay him anymore. If you don’t see him, just don’t see him…
Yun Wange was thinking about the doll clothes, but he didn't expect that it was the unique floating light brocade in Dongling Palace. So how many people would there be floating light brocade in Nanchu Palace?
Yun Wange wanted to ask Chu Nian if he knew who had Fu Guangjin in the Nanchu Palace, but Chu Nian was always lost, "Sister-in-law?"
"What's wrong?"
"Does sister-in-law have something to worry about?" Yun Wange felt that after Chu Nian came back from Ling Munan, her condition seemed to be in a bad state and she was always lost...
"I'm fine, maybe I didn't have a rest last night."
Chu Nian didn't want to say it, and Yun Wange couldn't force her to say it. She could only follow Chu Nian's words, "Then sister-in-law, please have a good rest."
She couldn't get in touch with the Fu Guangjin affairs, but she couldn't, there was always someone who could do it.
Yun Wange wrote the three words "Fu Guang Jin" on the note. When she walked to the east palace, she could not fly the note in front of Chu Heng. If Chu Heng discovered that she could not leave.
Yun Wange is looking for opportunities, and she is waiting for Yuxi or Yuran to appear in her sight. After leaving their hands, Yun Wange is still confident.
At this time, Yu Xi hurriedly walked from outside the East Palace to the study. Yun Huangge saw the opportunity and flew towards Yu Xi with a dart with a note.
Yuxi felt a hidden weapon flying towards her, so she hid sideways and looked at the place where the darts flew to, but there was no one there.
There was a note on the dart. Yuxi picked up the dart and the note and prepared to hand it over to Chu Heng.
"Your Highness, someone just reported it to me, but Yu Xi didn't see that person."
Chu Heng picked up the dart and looked at it. The dart seemed exactly the same as the one presented by Xiao Han last time...
Chu Heng opened the note, and there were only three words "Floating Bright Brocade" on it. Chu Heng handed the note to Yu Ran, "Is that the material of the clothes floating Bright Brocade?"
These three words reminded Yu Ran, that it was Fu Guangjin, and she also remembered where she had seen it. It was a palace skirt of Concubine Shen.
That time she accidentally saw a palace servant sprinkling water on the corner of Concubine Shen’s skirt. The palace servant was very scared, but Concubine Shen did not blame her, and also said, “The light and brocade are not touching the water, it is okay.”
Chu Heng had never seen Fuguang Brocade the least, but he had also heard of this kind of fabric, which seemed to be Dong Ling's tribute?
"I'll find a way to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate. Who did the father give the floating light brocade?"
In fact, the answer to this matter is now very obvious. There will definitely be no floating brocade in the palace of the mother and queen. Among the people given by the father, there must be Concubine Shen...
The Rong Mansion is now desperate for the 2 million taels of silver. The Rong Mansion has spent a lot of money to open a charity hall in the past few days. Now the silver that can be obtained in the mansion is only a little more than one million taels, and the remaining one million taels need to be taken from shops in various places, but King Rong is not sure how much silver each shop can take out.
Ye Nanxun only managed a few shops in the capital, but the total amount of money that those shops could get after leaving the turnover silver was only a few hundred thousand taels.
"Father, did Your Highness the Crown Prince not tell you what to do?"
King Rong sighed. What if Chu Heng told him, would he still be so anxious now?
In fact, it was not that Chu Heng didn't tell him, but that Chu Heng didn't know the situation in Prince Rong's Mansion. He only knew one approximation, and only Ye Zhiqiu knew the specific situation.
"Xun'er, now you can send someone to shops in various places to turn over the money and get this million taels as soon as possible..."
Yu Ran spent money to bribe a young father-in-law from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, secretly found out who the Fu Guangjin had given to them, and then returned to the East Palace to report to Chu Heng.
"Is it really only rewarded to Concubine Chen?"
"When you go back to Your Highness, the records of the Office of the Internal Affairs were indeed only rewarded to Concubine Chen. This floating light brocade is very precious. Dongling only paid two tributes..."
Now it is certain that it is the mother concubine framed by Concubine Chen, but how did the doll appear in the mother's bedroom that day?
"Did the palace servant who found the doll that day checked? Is there anything suspicious?"
Yu Ran knew that Chu Heng would ask about the palace maid, so she also checked the palace maid's background while checking Fu Guangjin.
"That person is an ordinary palace servant, and there is nothing suspicious about it."
Since the palace maid had nothing suspicious, the doll should be placed by someone who could enter and exit the mother's queen's bedroom. Unexpectedly, there were Concubine Chen next to her...
"Go and call Madam Xu."
Madam Xu is the person he trusts the most around Ye Zhiqiu. Most of the affairs of Zhengyang Palace are also managed by Madam Xu. If you have the opportunity to put the doll in your mother's bedroom, you must be the maid who cleans up the bedroom.
Not long after, Madam Xu was taken to the East Palace by Yu Ran. She didn't know what the Crown Prince was looking for her, but it should be related to the Queen's affairs.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"The mother's bedroom was cleaned up by those palace ladies?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the Empress's bedroom has always been cleaned up by the maid Huaer and Yaoer beside the Empress, but..." Madam Xu hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it out.
"Speak straight away if you have something to do."
"But Yao'er was unwell yesterday, and it was Lao Nu and Hua'er who cleaned up..."
Madam Xu was worried that Chu Heng would doubt her, but she had been with the queen for so many years and was loyal. She believed that the queen and the prince knew her character.
"How long have Hua'er been with her mother?"
"Hua'er was originally a maid who was cleaning the palace in Zhengyang Palace. Later, Yan'er, who was by the empress, left the palace at the age of her. The old slave saw that Hua'er was not very diligent and talked much, so he brought it up."
Chu Heng didn't expect that Concubine Chen had placed the chess piece for so long, and Huaer should have been a bit capable. She had not exposed her identity for so long. If it weren't for the fact that Yao'er happened to fall ill and was in a hurry to do something about her, she might not have been exposed.
"Look at this painting and go down."
