The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

When he woke up, it was already noon. Qi Yejing stretched and felt all his fatigue disappeared, leaving only refreshed.

Yun Zhining was indeed the best medicine for his illness. As long as he stayed by her side, nothing would be a problem.

Thinking of this, his eyes looked at Yun Zhining even more gently.

"Hey, Father, what are you doing?"

Feeling a slight movement around her, Little Grape quickly opened her eyes and saw Qi Yejing leaning down to kiss Yun Zhining. She immediately screamed and covered her eyes.

Yun Zhining was also awakened by her.

Then I saw Qi Yejing's "weird" movements.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Your father just wanted to kiss me, why are you so surprised?"

Little Grape slowly loosened her hands, looked at her through her fingers, and her little mouth pouted involuntarily.

"She is still a child, don't look at her without permission."

"You are so young, and you already know not to look at anything indecent?"

"Of course. I not only know not to look at indecent things, but I also know not to say or hear indecent things."

Cattle!

Yun Zhining silently gave a thumbs up.

As expected of Qi Yejing's bloodline, he was so strong that she admired him so much.

What, you asked the second prince why he didn't inherit Qi Yejing's intelligence and talent?

Even if Qi Ye's ancestor was an emperor, he couldn't guarantee that all of his descendants would become successful.

There's so much smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, we need to take a break, otherwise it will catch fire.

"Oh, I smell the delicious food. Hurry up, go downstairs, change clothes, wash up, and prepare for lunch."

"Ok."

Little Grape immediately let go of her hand, jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and asked Aunt Qi to help her put on her clothes.

Winter clothes are too thick and she really can’t handle it by herself.

Watching her leave, Yun Zhining curled up the corner of her mouth into a wicked smile, then held Qi Yejing's head and leaned over to give him a hard kiss.

A dark light flashed in Qi Yejing's eyes, and he immediately threw her to the ground. The quilt flew up and covered their entire bodies.

A quarter of an hour later, the two finally arrived.

Little Grape noticed a red mark on Yun Zhining's neck and her eyes were watery, as if she had been loved deeply.

To be honest, at that moment, Qi Yejing really had some thoughts in mind, but when he thought that Yun Zhining had just had a miscarriage last night and he couldn't touch her for the time being, he could only suppress the thoughts and made love to her.

Halfway through the meal, Yun Zhining suddenly remembered something.

"Where's Qingzhu? Why can't I see her?"

"what!"

Xiao Kui was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"I didn't see Sister Qingzhu when I woke up this morning. I wonder where she went?"

"She went to the laundry at 1:05 a.m., and even though the laundry is a little far from here, it only takes an hour and a half to go back and forth. It's already been three hours, why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Is something going to happen?"

"Probably not."

Although she said this, Xiaokui's face turned pale in an instant.

"My lady, please don't worry. I will take people to find Sister Qingzhu right away."

"Maybe she just got lost and will be back soon."

“Who’s lost?”

Qingzhu stepped over the threshold, looking confused.

Xiao Kui rushed into her arms.

"Sister Qingzhu, why did you come back just now? The queen was so worried and wanted me to bring someone to look for you."

Qingzhu touched her head to comfort her a little, then looked up at Yun Zhining and said with a smile.

"I encountered something on the way, which delayed me and made you worried. I feel really guilty."

"I'm glad you're okay. You've been running around all morning. Go back and have lunch first, and we'll talk later."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Qingzhu bowed slightly, turned around and left, but Yun Zhining's expression did not improve at all, but became even gloomier.

After lunch, Qi Yejing took Little Grape to the side hall to see Little Strawberry and Little Pomelo. Qingzhu had been watching them, and when he saw the two of them leave, he hurried over.

"My lady, I found something when I went to the laundry today."

"what's up?"

Qingzhu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before telling the story.

This morning she was ordered to deliver clothes to the laundry bureau. When she arrived, a small steward received her. However, she remembered the emperor's promise and wanted to meet Steward Zhang to hand the matter over to him, so as to avoid being unable to find the person responsible if something went wrong.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, the steward took her to see Steward Zhang.

But Manager Zhang was reluctant to open the door. Finally, she gave her name and Manager Zhang finally came.

Moreover, his clothes were not put on properly. Through the messy clothes, she saw several red marks on Manager Zhang's neck.

Although Yunying was unmarried, she had served Yun Zhining for several years and had seen such marks on her many times, so she naturally knew what was going on.

However, she did not alert the enemy, but pretended not to know about it and conveyed the emperor's order with a smile.

Yun Zhining was the most favored concubine in the harem. Not to mention just wanting to find someone to wash her favorite skirt, even if it was to find someone to die for her, there were many people who would rush forward and fight for this spot.

Moreover, the Emperor had also ordered that if the skirt could be washed clean, he would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Manager Zhang immediately promised that he would find the most capable person to wash the skirt so clean that it would be indistinguishable from a new one.

Qingzhu thanked him, stuffed fifty taels of silver into his pocket, and went back home.

However, she only pretended to return to Qingning Palace. In fact, she hid immediately after she walked out of the laundry department.

Sure enough, not long after, a person dressed in the clothes of a palace maid from the laundry department sneaked out with a sly look in his eyes. Seeing that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and trotted away.

"Then did you see that person's face clearly? Where did she end up?"

"I chased her all the way and saw her enter Hibiscus Pavilion. I was worried that I followed the wrong person, so I waited outside for half an hour. When I saw that she didn't come out, I came back."

No wonder it took her so long.

Yun Zhining nodded.

"Since the maid is from Furong Pavilion, it means that this matter is related to Jiang Cairen."

"But why would Concubine Jiang let her maid seduce the manager of the laundry department for no reason? Could it be that she wanted to tamper with someone's clothes?"

Tampering with clothes?

In a flash, Qingzhu thought of something and his face changed instantly.

"My queen, do you still remember when you first entered the palace, someone put a silver needle in your clothes and it almost pierced your stomach, causing you to have a miscarriage?"

"Of course I remember. What you mean is that Lady Jiang asked her maids to seduce Manager Zhang, and then used Manager Zhang to harm the concubines in the harem?"

"But Concubine Jiang has only been in the palace for half a year. She has nothing to do with that incident. These two things should not be related, right?"
