The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

With the help of Eunuch Gao and Granny Ping, Qin Wan finally understood the situation in the capital city in the past.

However, the two of them had been away for a long time. When they left the capital, it was still the Shang Dynasty.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the situation has changed again, and all we can talk about are things that happened in the past.

Granny Ping said, ".......those are things of the past. We still need to send someone to investigate the situation outside the capital."

Qin Wan nodded, "Uncle Gao, I am short-handed right now, and I can't get through Zhao Zhen for many things."

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I know some people. I'll help you find them!"

Qin Wan smiled, "Don't worry, Uncle Gao, I have money in my hands, so I can be more generous to the people outside."

Eunuch Gao now has to pay to hire someone to do things for him.

Otherwise, who would help you for no reason?

Qin Wan has money and is not stingy.

Eunuch Gao saw that Qin Wan didn't really know nothing, so he didn't refuse, "Okay!"

After sending Eunuch Gao and Grandma Ping away, Qin Wan also went to bed.

She had experienced a lot that day and was very tired.

Not long after, Qin Wan fell asleep.

Youlan Courtyard.

As soon as Zhao Zhen came in, the little maid reported: "The eldest prince has arrived!"

Han Qingdai was supported by Nanny Yu and immediately came to the door to greet him, "My concubine greets the eldest prince."

Zhao Zhen looked past her expressionlessly and said calmly, "Get up!"

Seeing Zhao Zhen's gloomy face, Han Qingdai thought that he had encountered trouble in the palace. Thinking that she was pregnant, she smiled and joked: "I have good news. Tell the eldest prince and make you happy."

Han Qingdai took advantage of her favor and made jokes.

"Are you really pregnant?"

Han Qingdai nodded shyly, "Yes, the imperial physician said that I am two months pregnant."

She came to Zhao Zhen's chair and reached out to pull Zhao Zhen's hand and put it on her belly.

Zhao Zhen quickly withdrew his hand, stood up quickly, and said calmly: "Then take good care of it! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

Han Qingdai: “…”

Han Qingdai looked at Zhao Zhen's back and frowned, "Mammy, is the eldest prince unhappy?"

Nanny Yu comforted her, "Miss, don't think too much. How could the eldest prince be unhappy? Maybe something else happened in the palace."

"Really?" Han Qingdai didn't quite believe it.

"Mammy, do you think it's possible that the eldest prince will not like the baby in my belly after seeing the little grandson?"

Nanny Yu also frowned, "Miss, don't worry, take your time."

Han Qingdai nodded, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry!"

Zhao Zhen left Youlan Courtyard and returned to the main courtyard.

This courtyard is Zhao Zhen’s independent courtyard.

At this time, Shi Ce had been waiting here for a long time.

"Shi Ce, tell me about the situation on the road."

Zhao Zhen just listened to Xiao Jingrui's brief words, he also wanted to hear what Shi Ce had to say.

Shi Ce did not hide anything and told him about the bandits he encountered along the way. Finally, thinking of Mu Qing's test, he said, "Prince, in fact, in addition to those bandits, we also met Commander Mu on the road."

"Mu Qing? Did he go to the North as well?"

Zhao Zhen stood up immediately. He knew who Mu Qing belonged to. "What did he do?"

Zhao Zhen's face also darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his heart.

What does the father want to do?

Can he really not tolerate the Qin family?

Shi Ce said carefully: "Commander Mu brought the imperial guards, hid his identity, and attacked our convoy!"

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen's pupils shrank, "Keep talking!"

"I think Commander Mu's target is the eldest young lady. Their actions are specifically aimed at the eldest young lady's carriage. It seems that they are trying to see if the eldest young lady has any means to save her life."

Zhao Zhen stared at Shi Ce and asked with difficulty: "Does Qin know that those people were brought by Commander Mu?"

Shi Ce nodded, "I know!"

Shi Ce used to be with Qin Wan, and he knew that the powerful explosives were all researched by Qin Wan.

So he slowly figured out the purpose of Mu Qing's action.

He could only remind Zhao Zhen implicitly and didn't dare to say it too directly.

Otherwise it would be suspected of provocation.

Shi Ce lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Zhen.

"No wonder, no wonder!" Zhao Zhen sat dejectedly in the chair, muttering to himself.

Qin was afraid, so she gave up her position as the main wife in order to save her life.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen did not blame Qin Wan for refusing without discussing it with him.

Zhao Zhen felt complicated when she thought of the emperor.

He actually couldn't figure out some of the emperor's actions.

I don’t understand why my father is so obsessed with the noble ladies in the capital?

He used to like his cousin and wanted to marry her, but his father was strongly opposed.

Later, he was asked to marry Qin Wan. He liked Qin Wan a little, but his father tried to separate him and Qin Wan.

Could it be that his father would control any woman he had feelings for?

The father has three sons, why does he only care so much about his own love affairs?

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I know about this!" Then he said, "This is the end of it. Don't leak it out anymore!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, you go down first!"

After Shi Ce left, Zhao Zhen called Xiao Anzi in again.

When Xiao Anzi came in, he saw that Zhao Zhen didn't smile at all, so he asked carefully, "Prince, I'm here!"

Zhao Zhen turned around and looked Xiao Anzi up and down, causing him to shudder.

"Grand...Grand Prince, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Xiao Anzi and asked, "Did she take the tonic I sent to Han on time?"

Xiao Anzi nodded and said, "Yes, I delivered it myself."

Zhao Zhen asked, "Didn't you see her drinking it with your own eyes?"

Xiao Anzi: “….”

Xiao Anzi glanced at Zhao Zhen timidly and said, "There were a few times when it was Nanny Yu who took it over. I didn't see it."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Xiao Anzi and said, "Alright, you can go down now!"

"Yes!" Xiao Anzi retreated carefully.

After Xiao Anzi left, a secret guard with a figure very similar to Zhao Zhen immediately appeared.

He knelt on the ground, "Please punish me, my Lord!"

Zhao Zhen waved her hand and said, "It's not your fault. It's Xiao Anzi who is not doing his job well."

The guard knelt on the ground, "What about the child?"

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "Don't worry, what's the Han family doing?"

The secret guard reported: "Minister Han is very cautious, but I have found some clues and found a list of some officials. I still need to verify it."

Zhao Zhen finally smiled, "Okay, hurry up!" Thinking of the emperor's trust in Minister Han, he said, "Be careful, don't let father know."

"Yes, Prince!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Okay, you can leave now!"

After everyone left, Zhao Zhen felt that he should choose a capable person to be the steward of the backyard, because Xiao Anzi was too honest.

I have no experience in many things, so it seems that I should find someone with some skills to keep by my side. I will also enter the palace in the future, so I still have to choose a capable eunuch.

When Zhao Zhen thought of a capable eunuch, he thought of Eunuch Gao.

"Maybe there are some things I can ask him!" Zhao Zhen murmured to himself.

In the following days, Zhao Zhen and Qin Wan didn't see each other.

Qin Wan and the little lion have both adapted to life in the mansion. The little lion now plays in the yard during the day. With Tiger Head's company, he doesn't clamor to go outside to play.

Granny Ping is now training the maids and old women in the yard and is very busy.

Eunuch Gao was borrowed by Zhao Zhen. Eunuch Gao was unwilling to help Zhao Zhen at first, but later he thought that he could use Zhao Zhen's power to do what he wanted, so he agreed.

At least when it comes to the affairs of the Eastern Palace, no one knows better than Eunuch Gao.

Now Eunuch Gao just went to the Eastern Palace in advance to arrange things.

Eunuch Gao also planned to go to the East Palace to make arrangements first, and by the way select some capable people for Qin Wan and Little Lion.

At least Eunuch Gao knew who the old people who stayed in the East Palace were.

Now Zhao Zhen asked Eunuch Gao to help with the arrangements, and Eunuch Gao planned to put the nails in first.

The news from various palaces in the palace is the most important. Now the women in Zhao Zhen's backyard have not moved in yet. He can go to the East Palace to make arrangements in advance, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he must seize it.

That day, Qin Wan called both brothers Qin Xiao and Qin Ting over.

"Brother, are you still used to staying at home?"

Qin Xiao saw that there were no other maids in the room, so he said, "Awan, my second brother and I want to move out."

"Has anyone given you a hard time?" Qin Wan asked.

Qin Xiao quickly shook his head, "No, no, the servants in the mansion are very polite to us."

Qin Ting said: "It's boring to stay in the mansion. We want to move out."

Qin Wan also understood. She took out a small box and pushed it over. "It's okay for you to move out. Take this box and buy a house outside."

Qin Xiao quickly refused, "Awan, how can we take your money!"

Qin Wan insisted, "Don't be polite, cousin. You all know my current situation. Our Qin family is still too weak."

Qin Xiao certainly understood that what the servants in the mansion were secretly discussing behind their backs was heard by both Qin Xiao and his brother.

They were also very angry, but they couldn't help and could only worry. They left now because they didn't want to implicate Qin Wan.

Qin Xiao and Qin Ting were just ordinary blacksmiths before, and they didn’t have much knowledge. They wanted to help, but they didn’t know how to do it.

Qin Wan advised: "Brother, you guys should buy a house in the outer city first, and then our family will open a blacksmith shop in the capital and settle down first!"

Qin Ting saw that it was his old business, and agreed: "This is good, the expenses in the capital are also high, it's good to have a shop!"

Qin Wan was thinking more than that, but her family might be being watched by someone now, so she decided to wait and see for a few months.
