Chapter 242: After We Parted that Night, I Missed You Very Much

Entered the palace.

Nan Baoyi and Hanyan Liangbing split into two groups.

Nan Baoyi went straight into Kunning Palace, where Queen Shen was dressing up in the mirror.

The bead curtain was gently swaying, and the crystal clear crystal beads reflected the stunning face of Queen Shen. However, I don't know what happened today. There was some anger in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Nan Baoyi took the golden comb from the female officer's hand and combed Shen Jiang's long hair meekly: "Your Majesty, are you in a bad mood? I'll invite an acrobatic team to the palace tomorrow to relieve your boredom."

Shen Jiang laughed.

She stroked her fluffy temples and said, "You have a rest today. How can Nan Qing have the leisure to visit me in the palace?"

Nan Baoyi lowered her eyelashes and combed her hair carefully.

A woman in her thirties, her raven hair is still thick and black, as smooth and smooth as silk.

She said obediently: "As the eyes and ears of the empress, Wei Chen should do his best for her. A few days ago, the Lu family's wife insulted the empress and Wei Chen for being in a nest of snakes and rats. Wei Chen was very angry. He asked his confidants to check the details of the Lu family. It was discovered that the Lu family... had embezzled an astonishing amount of money."

She put down the golden comb, took two steps back, and respectfully presented the account book.

She said: "Although there are only a few pages, the amount is as high as four thousand taels of snowflake silver. It is hard to imagine how much public funds the Lu family has embezzled over the years."

Shen Jiang flipped through page after page.

Although she has lived in the palace for a long time, she often interacts with court officials and knows the private prices of some goods.

A fine carved scented candle costs twelve copper plates on the market.

The Lu family actually reported a sky-high price of six taels of silver to the court!

This burning incense candle is obviously gold powder!

Nan Baoyi observed Shen Jiang's gradually condensing expression and said softly: "The yamen in charge of sacrifices and rituals are all descendants of the Lu family inside and outside. They have not been exposed for so many years, which shows that the officials protect each other very well. If it weren't for the micro I made a sudden inspection on a whim, and I am afraid that this kind of corruption will continue under the eyes of the empress..."

Shen Jiang's face was as cold as frost.

His slender jade-like fingertips tightly grasped the pieces of paper.

Nan Baoyi knew very well that Shen Jiang was ambitious, but she could not tolerate others making trouble under her nose.

She conquered almost half of Dayong's empire.

Nan Baoyi wouldn't believe it if she said she didn't cherish the country.

However, Queen Shen today seemed to be affected by something.

She stroked her fluffy black hair impatiently and glanced at the corner of the hall casually: "What do you think Nan Qing should do?"

Nan Baoyi followed her gaze.

There is a book rack in the corner of the main hall.

In the center of the ancient book shelf, there is a white fox mask.

It must have been bought from outside the palace, and it looks very brand new.

Nan Baoyi narrowed his eyes calmly.

She seemed to have seen this style of mask somewhere.

She did not dare to be distracted, and quickly lowered her head and said respectfully: "The Lu family is a neutral faction in the court that protects oneself wisely. Since the empress is determined to seek the position of female emperor,

You have to call Asano into submission, right? It's better to take action on the Lu family and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. "

Shen Jiang knocked on the makeup mirror: "Are you going to do surgery on the Lu family?"

"According to Dayong's laws, any official who embezzles more than ten thousand taels of silver will be punished by beheading. The other accomplices will be exiled to the frontiers. The confiscated assets will be used to enrich the national treasury. After the Lu family is solved, the empress will gain a good reputation. It can also intimidate the government and the public. In the future, when the empress ascends the throne, they will not dare to object too much."

After Nan Baoyi finished speaking, he was beating a little drum in his heart.

She is...

Offer slander?

But that family was not good at first. They embezzled so much national tax every year. It would be a shame to die!

Shen Jiang yawned, his slender and charming phoenix eyes turning slightly red.

She stood up, leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, rested her forehead on one hand, closed her eyes and fell asleep: "Just do what you want."

Nan Baoyi turned to her and tested: "Your Majesty, you look very tired."

Shen Jiang closed his eyes: "Recently, I have been dreaming about the past. I tossed and turned all night long and couldn't sleep."

Nan Baoyi: "What happened in the past?"

Shen Jiang slowly opened his eyes.

Those reddish phoenix eyes were graceful and cold, showing condescending blame.

Nan Baoyi immediately lowered his head: "I have overstepped my bounds."

She respectfully exited the palace.

It was a scorching hot day, and the flowers and trees in the palace were flourishing.

Several palace maids were enjoying the cool air in the verandah near the water in the distance, shaking their fans and chatting with smiles, as charming as flowers.

"...Although His Majesty has never been to Kunning Palace since the eldest princess left, His Majesty has not favored other women! It can be seen that His Majesty still loves our empress very much in his heart!"

Fragments of words came with the wind.

Nan Baoyi looked at them from a distance, his pupils moving slightly.

She knew why that white fox mask looked familiar!

She once visited the emperor's bedroom.

She had seen a similar white fox mask in that palace.

It's just that the mask, for some reason, broke into two halves in the middle...

Nan Baoyi bit her lip.

There must be an unknown story between the emperor and the empress, right?

She gathered up her skirt, didn't think about it any more, and planned to go find Han Yanliang.

Not long after she walked out of Kunning Palace, a big hand with sharp bones suddenly came out from the side, covered her mouth and dragged her out of the palace alley.

Nan Baoyi was shocked and was about to struggle, but was pushed against the trunk of a pomegranate tree.

She raised her head and met a pair of smiling phoenix eyes.

Xiao Yi curled his lips and looked at her with lowered eyes: "Are you scared?"

Nan Baoyi was just scared!

She looked around. The pomegranate tree, which was hundreds of years old, was tall and lush. The pomegranate fruit bent the green branches, completely blocking the two of them in the shadow of the tree.

She was slightly relieved, but she still raised her fist and punched Xiao Yi's chest unhappily: "This place is so close to Kunning Palace, you are not afraid of being caught by Queen Shen's eyeliner!"

Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously.

He held the little girl's hand: "Are you going to find Han Yanliang?"

"Um!"

Xiao Yi lowered his head and kissed her cheek: "She is smarter than you and won't get lost. Jiaojiao stays and talks to me. After we parted that night, I missed you very much."

…

The leaders of local aristocratic families were all placed under house arrest in Wutong Palace.

Shen Jiang did not treat them harshly. Wutong Palace was spacious and luxurious, with maids and chambermaids serving everywhere. The steps and gardens were cleanly swept, and the food and clothing were of the highest quality.

When Han Yanliang found his grandfather, the old man was sitting by the lake, playing chess with others.

Thinking that old people like Nan Jiaojiao's type of girl, she specially changed into a bright red skirt with festive patterns before entering the palace, and her hair was neatly combed, making her look like a lady.

She took a few deep breaths.

Immediately, she imitated Nan Baoyi, showed a cute and sweet smile, carried the food box, and walked towards Aweng with small lotus steps.

As she got closer, she tried to speak as softly as possible: "Aweng, I'm here to visit you. How are you?"

Mr. Yin raised his head and was overjoyed: "Yanyan is here!"

The man in black, who was playing chess with Mr. Yin, turned his head in surprise.

Eyes facing each other.

Han Yanliang's cute smile gradually twisted.

Shen Yijue...

Shen Yijue was actually playing chess with her Ah Weng!
