The grass in the factory should be plucked

At this time, in Yong'an Palace, Concubine Xiao Shufei was giving instructions to the eldest prince Nangong Taihe in person.

Nangong Taihe is a burly man with a broad back and strong arms, tall and mighty.

At this moment, his face was full of impatience, and his thoughts were written all over his face. At a glance, one could tell that he was the kind of person who was brave but lacked strategy.

"Mother, what's the point of your nagging? Why don't you think about how to win the heart of the emperor?"

"What do you know?" Concubine Xiao said in a deep voice, "Feng Chuan is the cousin of the one in Yuhua Palace. He will definitely stand on the side of the Second Prince. We also need someone who can influence the East Factory."

The eldest prince frowned and asked in confusion, "Liao Wuyong, that old eunuch, is loyal to my father. All the people in the East Factory are his confidants. Who can be used by us?"

Concubine Xiao Shu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Xie Chang'an, the chief of the Thousand Households of the Criminal Court. Although he is Liao Wuyong's adopted son, he is of humble origin and has no foundation in the court."

"If you promise him a future, you may be able to win him over."

The eldest prince was embarrassed: "Xie Changan is a treacherous and cunning man. He won't change his mind. How can he easily surrender to me with empty promises?"

Concubine Xiao Shu pondered and said, "I heard that Xie Chang'an has not yet married. Go to your grandfather's house tomorrow and ask him to find a woman with outstanding appearance from other families..."

The eldest prince was greatly surprised: "Mother, you want to marry the daughter of the Xiao family to him? Xie Changan is a eunuch!"

Concubine Xiao Shufei's mother's family was a prominent family in Nanyang. Although it was not a first-rate family, many of its sons had entered officialdom in recent years, so the Xiao family had a considerable status among the prominent families in Da Chu.

Even if the girls of the Xiao family are from a different clan, they will never have trouble finding a husband.

Concubine Xiao Shu actually wanted to marry Xiao's daughter to Xie Chang'an! No wonder the eldest prince was surprised.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! So what if he was born a eunuch? He is not a registered eunuch, so there is nothing wrong with him marrying a wife."

Concubine Xiao poked the eldest prince's head in frustration and said, "Marriage is meant to bring about a good relationship between two families, not to have children!"

"As long as Xie Changan marries a woman from our Xiao family, he will be able to gain the support of the Xiao family in the court. For him, isn't this a good thing that comes right to his door?"

The eldest prince rubbed his head and said, "Haha, what mother said is absolutely right. If Xie Changan becomes the son-in-law of the Xiao family, he will be able to be of use to me. I will do it right away."

Xie Changan never expected that Concubine Xiao Shufei would set her sights on him. At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and he was repeatedly pondering the matter of "witchcraft" in Yuhua Palace.

Most of the witchcraft originated from Miaojiang. If this matter involves the Southern Yi Kingdom, it will not be resolved peacefully.

It is said that the national teacher of Nanyi Kingdom is the Miao Jiang Gu King, whose Gu technique is extremely strange and bizarre. Therefore, although Nanyi is a small country, no one dares to attack him.

Going directly to search Yuhua Palace is naturally the most convenient and quickest way.

But Jiang Li had no real evidence, so they couldn't just send people in based on her one-sided statement.

We can only have people keep an eye on Yuhua Palace to see if we can find any clues.

At this time, Yin Jiu hurried over to report: "Boss, it's bad, Concubine Yu actually knows Qinggong, and she climbed over the wall last night!"

Last night, Concubine Yu suddenly jumped onto the wall, which scared him to death and made him more convinced that she was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Where is he now?" Xie Changan's eyes flashed.

Sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed!

"She's still in the cold palace. She went to the imperial kitchen for a stroll, dug a rat hole, and then went back."

Yin Jiu was still in shock at this moment, "You don't know, there are really a lot of things in the rat hole!"

He saw with his own eyes that Concubine Yu took out more than ten pounds of grain from a rat hole, and there were even two gold leaves and a few ingots of silver!

After Concubine Yu discovered him, she stuffed a silver ingot into his hand and said that everyone who saw it would get a share.

Yinjiu was already considering whether he should find a rat hole to dig in after his shift.

Xie Changan had a headache. Is this the key point?

"No one in the palace guards noticed it?"

"No, this noble lady Yu is too weird!"

Xie Changan's eyes were deep. Although the cold palace was located in a remote area, the palace guards would patrol regularly.

She climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and went to the imperial kitchen, but none of the palace guards noticed!

If he hadn't ordered Yinjiu to monitor at all times, would he not have discovered it?

It seems that this woman's lightness skill is quite good, it is really hidden well!

Xie Changan curled his lips slightly: "Oh, interesting..."

That night, Jiang Li was sitting on the roof of the cold palace, holding a big fat cat in her arms, in a daze.

Xiaobai told her that she didn't see any strange insects in the imperial concubine's palace. So where did Nanny Gong hide the poisonous insects?

At this moment, there was a slight sound of clothes flying, and under the moon, a person's clothes were flying, as if he was riding the wind, and suddenly he was in front of him.

"Your Majesty is in such a good mood!"

Xie Changan was tall and slender, with eyes bathed in the moonlight, deep and dangerous.

"Thank you for being so free tonight, sir. How is the investigation going at Yuhua Palace?"

Jiang Li put down the fat cat Huahua in her arms.

Huahua meowed a few times: "Master, master, I'm leaving first. This person has such a strong evil spirit!"

It jumped off the roof like a flash, leaped over the wall, and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

"The East Factory handles cases, reports to the emperor, and imprisons all officials. Your Majesty should not interfere."

Xie Changan's eyes were cold, "I just hope that Your Majesty will not leave the palace without permission again, and don't make things difficult for us."

"The Imperial Concubine has stopped my monthly salary and won't let me go out. Is she going to let me starve to death in the cold palace?"

Xie Changan: ...

"Anyway, I won't run around. I'll be back after digging out the rat hole. Sir Xie, just turn a blind eye."

Jiang Li took out a gold leaf from her bosom and handed it to Xie Changan reluctantly, "Here, I took it out from a rat hole. Anyone who sees it gets a share."

Xie Changan was speechless. Was he trying to bribe him?

A dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly attacked, with his palm wind striking towards her like lightning.

Jiang Li was shocked. Why did this guy just start fighting?

She reflexively dodged backwards and used the Beastmaster's Cloud-Stepping Technique to dodge Xie Changan's lightning-fast attack at a very tricky angle.

Xie Changan followed him like a shadow, and the wind from his palm was endless.

Jiang Li's figure was elusive, like clouds and smoke, and unpredictable. No matter how fierce his attack was, he could always dodge it at the critical moment.

In the world of cultivation, the strength of the Beast Taming Sect's disciples is basically at the bottom, but their physical skills are first-class.

Just because they steal other people's spirit beast cubs every other day, if they didn't practice the skill of escaping, they would have been torn to pieces and eaten by the spirit beasts long ago.

"My lady, you have great skills!"

Seeing that she was just dodging and not fighting back, Xie Changan stopped and asked with a hawk-like gaze, "Who are you?"

"Who else can I be? An unloved concubine of the Jiang family, a concubine banished to the cold palace."

"I believe that with the capabilities of the East Factory, they would have already thoroughly investigated my family's affairs."

Jiang Li only developed some internal strength so that he could perform the Cloud Step.

All this dodging and moving had made her so tired that she was sweating profusely, her hair was disheveled, and she lay on the roof in a completely ungraceful manner.

She looked resentful: "Thank you, sir, can we talk it out?"

If it weren't for her instinct to escape, she would have been knocked off the roof long ago!

Xie Changan didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so he went straight to the point: "You hide your strength and lie dormant in the palace, what do you want to do?"
