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

Ah Si touched the tip of his nose and said with a guilty look on his face.

"General Cheng was worried that someone was going to murder Concubine Yi, so he asked me to keep an eye on the Qingning Palace. I saw Mu Jin was awake at night and actually ran to Furong Pavilion. I thought Mu Jin was Concubine Jiang's man, so I kept watching her."

Deputy Commander Shang and Ah Si made great contributions in the Wei Tai incident. Deputy Commander Shang successfully removed the word "deputy" in front of his name and became the leader of the Bad People, while Ah Si was noticed by Qi Yejing and joined the Imperial Guard and became a subordinate of Cheng Qi, the acting commander of the Imperial Guard.

Amber nodded.

"Sister Mu Jin, why are you here?"

"The Queen suspects that today's incident was done by Concubine Jiang, so she asked me to keep an eye on the movements in Furong Pavilion to see if anyone ran out to do something bad at night?"

As expected, the Empress had guessed it right.

Moreover, this Mingqiu was not Jiang Cairen's person, but the Queen's person.

This is really unexpected!

The corners of Amber's mouth twitched slightly, and the whole person was surrounded by silence.

"Has Concubine Yi found the evidence?"

"No, Your Majesty just has some suspicions. If she had really found evidence, she would have gone to the Emperor to make the decision long ago. Why would she send me to wait outside the Hibiscus Pavilion in the middle of the night?"

"How dare she do this without evidence?"

"The Queen said that this is called bold speculation and careful verification. You may guess the murderer behind the scenes one day."

Does this work too?

Amber was really convinced.

Take it heartily.

"What should we do now?"

"Of course, I handed him over directly to the emperor."

"Who is going to pay, you, Sister Mu Jin, or Master Ah Si?"

Ah Si, who was named, waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, I am General Cheng's man, and General Cheng has such a relationship with Concubine Yi. If the emperor knew that General Cheng did such a thing behind her back, he would definitely suspect that General Cheng and Concubine Yi were having an affair, and then Concubine Yi would be finished."

"Let Mu Jin go and send them off."

"Row."

Hibiscus nodded.

"Then you go back first."

Seeing Ah Si leaving, Amber was about to leave as well, but was stopped by Mu Jin.

Amber's body suddenly froze, and the smile on her face became a little weak.

"Sister Mujin, do you have any other instructions?"

"Don't rush back. Come with me to see the emperor. After everything is settled, come back with me."

"That's not necessary, is it?"

"Of course it's necessary."

Mu Jin glanced at her and said coldly.

"Don't you want to leave an impression in front of the emperor?"

"Even if you don't want to, you should still help your lady to speak well of her in front of the Emperor. If she is promoted because of this and receives the Emperor's favor and rewards, won't she still value you and reward you?"

"Besides, the palace is dangerous during the day and even more eerie at night. If you go back alone and encounter danger, what should you do?"

"Have you forgotten about Concubine Hui?"

Amber shuddered instantly after she reminded her, and felt a chill in her pores.

"Forget it, Sister Mu Jin and I will go back together."

She didn't want to be like Concubine Hui, who turned into an underwater ghost overnight and still had no idea who killed her.

In the imperial study, Qi Yejing finally finished dealing with the memorials.

It was too late, so he didn't plan to go back to Longqian Palace and decided to stay in the imperial study for the night.

Knowing that he would stay in the imperial study tonight, Dong Ling quickly arranged for someone to make his bed.

But he came back as soon as he went out, and his expression was not right.

Seeing this, Qi Yejing opened his mouth and asked.

"What happened?"

"In reply to the emperor, Mu Jin is outside seeking an audience."

Mu Jin is here, could it be that something happened to Yun Zhining again?

"Send her in immediately."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. In addition to Mu Jin, two other people are here too."

"One is Amber, the maid of Feng Cairen who lives in the west side hall of Qingning Palace. The other one, according to Mu Jin, seems to be called Mingqiu. We don't know who she is yet."

"Since you don't know, bring him in and ask for clarification."

"The slave obeys the order."

Dong Ling went out quickly and came back soon with Mu Jin and others.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"No courtesy, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Hibiscus saluted, Amber also saluted.

However, Qi Yejing ignored her and kept his eyes on Mu Jin.

"It's so late, why are you here instead of sleeping?"

"I have something very serious to tell the Emperor."

"what's up?"

Mu Jin told Qi Yejing everything that had just happened word for word. After listening, Qi Yejing's face became extremely gloomy.

"You mean Mingqiu was originally a maid serving Concubine Jiang, but she went to knock on the door of Fengyi Palace in the middle of the night."

"Yes, so I suspect that Concubine Jiang and the Empress have colluded to frame our Empress. I hope Your Majesty will be able to see through this and give our Empress justice."

Amber gasped and her eyes widened instantly.

No, Sister Mu Jin, you are too bold!

Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will not only not believe what you say, but also blame it all on Concubine Yi?

As expected of a favorite concubine's maid, she was very confident when speaking in front of the emperor, and she admired her very much.

She thought that after hearing this, even if Qi Yejing didn't get angry, he would at least have some opinions about Mu Jin or Yun Zhining. But who knew that not only was he not angry, but he laughed instead.

It was a genuine smile.

It's not a fake smile.

Amber really didn't understand.

But she didn't have the courage to talk to Qi Yejing like that.

So I can only continue to not understand.

"Okay, I understand. Go back and tell your wife that I will interrogate Mingqiu and make her tell me everything she knows."

After getting the answer she wanted, Mu Jin did not stay any longer. She bowed and turned away.

Amber quickly followed and disappeared into the night together.

Yun Zhining didn't know about this until she heard it from Qingzhu the next morning.

She did not continue to ask, but asked Qingzhu to give Mujin a silver ingot as a reward for her.

Amber also received ten taels of silver.

The Queen was under house arrest, so there was no need to go to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects during this period, and Yun Zhining did not get up as early as usual.

After getting up, washing and having breakfast, she first arranged some homework for Xiao Pu Tao and asked Mu Jin to watch her. Then she went to the side hall to help Wan Er and Jun Er learn to walk for a while and taught them to talk. After lunch, she took a short nap. When she woke up, she sent someone to call Concubine Hao, and then took Zhou Baozhu and Feng Cairen to play mahjong. They played until before dinner before they dispersed.

Yun Zhining had a very comfortable day, but Qi Yejing was not so comfortable.

Because he encountered a bad thing today.

It's really, really bad.

It makes me sick just thinking about it.
