As soon as the outside door was closed, the inner room door opened.
Miaoyan rubbed his eyes and walked out of it. He slept irritably, his hair flew up, and he looked at us: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Su Su was still standing at the door angrily, feeling a little unrestrained. Madam Wu hurried over, took a piece of clothes and put them on Miaoyan's shoulder, and recited: "Little ancestor, you can't come out like this. What if you catch a cold!"
Miaoyan yawned: "Madam, I'm fine."
Then, he turned his head and looked at me: "Mom, what happened?"
I walked over, pulled the dress a little tighter, and then said calmly: "Nothing."
"Then why did I hear a lot of people talking?"
"Oh, your dad just came."
"Dad?" When she heard this, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly looked around: "Where is Dad?"
"He's gone."
"Leave?"
Immediately, it became sticky again. If there were ears on my head, I was afraid that those ears would droop. I looked at her appearance and found it funny. I smiled without caring about the current situation. Then I reached out to touch the marks that were sleeping red on her face and said, "You are too old. You have to clean up yourself when you go to bed. You can't be so untidy, do you know?"
When she heard this, she looked down at her appearance and suddenly became a little shy. She nodded and hurriedly walked back. Seeing this, Madam Wu followed her and said, "Your Highness, let me serve you."
As he said that, both of them returned to the inner room and the door was closed.
At this time, Su Su walked to me and said, "Miss, what should we do?"
I looked back at her.
She seemed worried, her brows twisted into a small bump, and she asked, "What is the emperor trying to lock us up here? Will he hurt you? Are you going to chop your head or something? If so, I will fight to the death-"
Seeing that she was about to burn her boat, I hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, it's not that far."
"ah?"
"It is indeed not a good situation for the emperor to lock us up, but he did not lock us up in prison, but was here, which means he did not intend to - at least for now, he did not intend to convict."
She looked at me with wide eyes: "Why?"
I smiled faintly: "What are you calling me?"
"Miss——" She blurted out subconsciously, paused for a moment, and immediately seemed to understand something: "Is it because of the identity of the lady?"
I nodded, but when I talked about this, I seemed to feel a little irritable. I slowly walked back to the table and leaned down to pick up the books that were still scattered all over the ground without anyone's concern. Su Su hurried over: "Miss, don't move, I should have done this kind of thing!"
“…”
I didn't move either, so I slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down against the head of the bed.
I need some time to clarify the situation I am facing now.
Nangong Jinhong played this trick very beautifully today - they should also know that Pei Yuanhao treats me politely now, not because my attitude towards him or how he handles things differently than before. The biggest difference is that my identity is no longer the palace maid Yue Qingying who is trampled on, but has become Yan Qingying, the eldest daughter of the Yan family in Xichuan. Before Pei Yuanhao and Pei Yuanxiu were able to win over Yan Qingchen, of course, he did not want to establish another strong enemy. It is naturally the best method to win over Yan Qingchen through me.
However, my identity is a double-edged sword, which can be exchanged for a change in his attitude, but it can also arouse his suspicion to the greatest extent.
Nangong Jinhong has been in the officialdom for so many years, and even though Nangong Lizhu followed Pei Yuanxiu away, he was not demoted. It makes sense. He did play a good job in this way of checks and balances.
As for the game of his squad—
At this time, Su Su had already picked up all the books and turned her head to me: "Miss, was that letter really sent by students from the academy?"
I shook my head.
"How did that come to us?"
I was also thinking about this question. Pei Yuanhao said that he valued me more. There were no idle people waiting to come and wander around on weekdays, let alone rummaging through my things and stashing letters in it.
And the book under the bed...
Su Su pouted: "We usually have people in our house, who put them in?"
“…!”
Her words seemed to remind me. I suddenly remembered that once I went to Yuhua Palace in Nangong Lizhu, Madam Wu was worried that I would suffer a loss, so she asked Susu to come to find Chang Qing to rescue him. That time, of course, it was a false alarm, but I clearly remember that after we came back, we found that the door of the house was hidden!
After entering the house, I was still worried that something would happen, but nothing happened. Only Miaoyan, who had not yet recovered, sat beside the bed, looking at us with cold and red all over.
Could it be that time?
When I told Su Su, she also remembered it and stomped her feet in anger: "It must be that time! It's all my fault, go find a queen! If I were guarding this room, I wouldn't-"
I said lightly: "Forget it. People are staring at us. Even if you don't go out that time, you will sooner or later find an opportunity to sneak in. As the saying goes, only a thousand years of being a thief, but no thousand years of guarding against thieves. Where can everything be done?"
She heard me say this, but she still regretted it.
At this moment, Madam Wu walked out with neatly dressed Miaoyan. Su Su's eyes lit up and she hurried over: "Miss Miaoyan, do you still remember that a few days ago, when you were alone in this room, did anyone come in?"
Miaoyan was puzzled by her words and stayed there.
Madam Wu was still a little confused at first, but immediately came to her senses and looked up at me: "Miss, can you say that letter and that book--"
I reached out and signaled her not to continue speaking, then walked to Miaoyan's side. Miaoyan raised her head and looked at me: "What do you mean?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I smiled and said, "Sister Su Su is testing your memory. Can you remember Miaoyan?"
She pouted and shook her head: "I don't remember it at all."
“…”
For a moment, we were all dull.
But I felt even more strange in my heart. Why can't she remember what happened a few days ago? So she smiled and asked, "Do you remember that Miaoyan? A few days ago, your father fed you porridge and burned you?"
She opened her eyes wide and looked at me: "Dad feed me porridge?"
Judging from her appearance, I don't remember it at all.
Su Su and Madam Wu looked at each other and were both amazed. I asked her several questions one after another, and then I slowly realized that her memory is very chaotic, especially what happened in the past few days, she almost had no impression of it.
I couldn't help but feel bitter.
Although I also know that she has recovered a lot now, the Master of the Guardian has performed the method of summoning souls twice. As the saying goes, most of the three souls and seven spirits have returned to their positions, but some of them have not returned to their positions, so she is still a little confused now.
However, that's good.
At least, she doesn't have to face the matter in front of her.

In the evening, Xiao Fuzi came.
He followed the people from the imperial kitchen and brought us meals - as Pei Yuanhao had ordered before, the supply was not reduced at all. I even felt that the food delivered was better than before.
Xiao Fuzi was guarding the door. When they put it down, he asked them to go out one by one, and then said to me: "Miss and Your Highness, please use it slowly."
I called him: "Eunuch Fu, wait a moment, I have something to ask you."
He looked back at me, feeling a little embarrassed: "This-"
I smiled and said, "I can't say anything, I will never make things difficult for Eunuch Fu."
He hesitated for a moment, and his body that had already turned away slowly turned back. When I met my gaze, I saw that he seemed to be worried and had three marks on his eyebrows, which seemed to be left behind by his long-term frown today.
I asked first, "Has she been arrested too?"
The folds between Xiao Fuzi's eyebrows became deeper.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It's not to be arrested. The emperor just ordered a team of people to come over and control the lady's mansion, and everyone inside."
"Then she-"
"It's pretty good. The emperor said that no one is allowed to hurt people."
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he asked, "Then my house--"
"It's been turned over," he said, lowering his head slightly: "I personally took someone over to turn over."
"oh……"
I felt relieved when I heard him say this. The most feared thing about this "house search" is that someone takes personal revenge. If Nangong Jinhong's people go in, they will have to make a few waves for me if they are fine. But if Xiao Fuzi goes in, at least they won't find out something I don't know about in this room like today.
I smiled and said, "You are burdened."
Xiao Fuzi said dullly: "I dare not. I hope the lady will forgive me."
I didn't even ask anything else, just asked, "Are they still in the house?"
"Yes, just like the lady now, although she can't walk around, the palace is responsible for all the supply. Don't worry, even me - I won't let her be frozen or hungry."
I nodded.
Then, he asked him again: "Then, did Lord Nangong and Taishi Chang stay in the imperial study all the time today?"
He nodded: "Yes, it's been there all the time."
I couldn't help but smile: "Then, what will His Majesty the Emperor plan to do next? Didn't he say that he would review this matter?"
Xiao Fuzi said, "It's not yet available for trial."
"Not judged? What does it mean?"
"The person has not been found yet. The emperor has now ordered the whole city to search for fish that have escaped the net."
"The fish that escaped the net?" I felt a thrill in my heart: "Who leaked?"
