At noon, I went to find her. She had just washed it. Princess Ling might have been unable to bear it for a night. At this time, she fell asleep uncomfortable on the stone bed. When she saw it was me, Ye Yunshuang hurriedly said, "Miss, is there anything wrong?"

I tentatively said, "His Majesty the Emperor is not here, right?"

She shook her head: "Your Majesty seems to be going to talk about things."

It seems that Pei Yuanhao already knew about Chalin's wake up, so he went to find him immediately. I looked at Princess Ling. Although she was not comfortable sleeping, she still slept very heavily because of sleepiness. Then she said softly: "I have something to ask you. If it is convenient, go to my room."

Ye Yunshuang hesitated for a moment, looked at Princess Ling, and said, "Yes."

She followed me to my room. Susu brought two cups of hot water and immediately left and closed the door. I knew she was guarding the door, so she called Ye Yunshuang to sit at the table. She looked a little uneasy and asked, "Miss, are there anything to tell me?"

It turned out that she was worried that I would use her as a tool, no wonder she looked nervous.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do, I just want to ask you about something."

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What do you want to know? I have told you all the ones I found before."

"You said before that all you found in the palace was a trivial matter, theft, and the murder."

"Yes."

"I have asked about the murder, and now I want to ask about theft."

"Stolen?"

Ye Yunshuang frowned slightly like a willow leaf eyebrows and looked at me in surprise, as if she didn't understand why I was suddenly interested in this, and said, "Why did the eldest lady suddenly ask this?"

I said, "Tell me first, what kind of theft case is it?"

"..." She looked at me in surprise again, then lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with what I want to investigate. Moreover, it has been decades since the people in the palace have changed several batches, so there is even less information to be found. I just vaguely heard that something in the inner cabinet was stolen."

"Inside Pavilion?"

"That's right. I heard that back then, the inner cabinet did not only store books, but also some important documents in the palace, or some decrees that could not be made public, would be stored there."

"What was the stolen thing you mentioned in the theft case?"

"It seems that it is not a document or an imperial edict, but a picture."

“…”

I just felt my heart beating: "A picture? What picture?"

"No one knows the specific one. I only know that after that incident, some things in the cabinet were taken away, and later, only some precious books were stored there."

I know this because I have been there for many years.

And I now understand that the theft case was indeed done by my mother, and the drawing she took out was stolen from the inner cabinet.

I finally smoothed my breathing and heartbeat and asked, "What about it later?"

"Later?" Ye Yunshuang thought for a while and said, "It seems that nothing is going to happen. Some people remember this case because since then, the things in the inner cabinet are no longer as important as before. But what is strange is that there is no investigation. It seems that it is Huang - it was Huang who did something from it, and this matter is so incomplete."

It's Pei Ji...

This is conceivable. If someone stole the picture, I am afraid the court would have sent many people to pursue it, but because it was taken by her mother, and it is very likely that Pei Ji knew it was her, so he sheltered her and did not pursue it.

Ye Yunshuang looked at me with her head: "Miss, what are you asking for this?"

I came back to my senses, looked at her inquiring gaze, and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just thinking, if you haven't found out the major decisions of the court back then, can you think of some solutions from other things. But now, it seems that some cases of theft and murder are really nothing to do with major decisions."

She nodded: "Yes, these things are just small things in the harem, and there are not many people who remember them now."

In order to prevent her from being suspicious, I chatted with her for a few more words, and asked Lao Yao and Empress Yin: "Are they okay?"

"It's all fine, the emperor sent someone to take care of them."

"Then, Mo Tieyi from the village chief's house, is he awake?"

"He is not awake yet, but-"

"But what?"

"However, Yao Lao has been guarding him. He always did the medicine himself, so he should be able to wake up soon."

"Oh..., that's good."

After a few more gossips, it didn't matter. She was still worried about Princess Ling, so she said goodbye first. I sat at the table in the movement I just kept my head, looking calm, but in fact, there were thousands of waves in my heart.

From Ye Yunshuang's words, I can be sure that the drawing in my mother's hand was taken out of the palace. Pei Ji obviously knew about this, but because it was her, he did not go into it further.

But--

Why is there such a drawing in the palace?

A huge machine-covered drawing, someone made this drawing, and he always wanted to implement it before designing it.

What did the imperial court want to achieve back then?

After thinking about it, I felt that this drawing might be related to the fact that they asked Ye Yunshuang to investigate. Some major decisions of the court back then, because such a big thing on the drawing, in Chalin's words, even if it is as rich as the Yan family, it is necessary to spend all their family property to make it. Isn't that a major decision for the court?

However, there are very few people who can understand the drawing, and because of some of the taboos, not many people know the content on the drawing. In addition, the theft case was deliberately concealed by Pei Ji, so there is very little information left behind, so Ye Yunshuang did not go into it.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was getting late at this time. I heard that Pei Yuanhao really went to see Chalin and talked about leaving until the evening. When I passed by, Chabixing told me that Chalin had spent a lot of energy. After taking the medicine, he lay down and fell asleep.

I asked a few questions with concern, and then I felt relieved after confirming that Chalin was fine.

Chabixing looked at me: "Why didn't the eldest lady ask me? What did the emperor come over and talk to his father?"

When I heard this, I only smiled faintly, with a little bitterness in my smile: "What can I do if I ask? Even if I ask, I can't stop it if I have some things."

Hearing me say this, he stopped talking.

I saw that he had an empty medicine bowl in his hand, asked, and said, "Did you cook this medicine yourself?"

"Um."

“Where did the medicine come from?”

"I asked the abbots here for the time being. In addition to meditating and practicing elixirs every day, they also made some medicines. They were not the kind of dog skin plaster that was used to perform outside, and they were quite effective."

"oh……"

I nodded and looked out. The rain had already stopped. However, the mountains were wet and cool. Until now, the water on the ground was not dry. After a while, water droplets would drip off on the eaves. The sound of clicking and clicking made the small Taoist temple become more and more silent.

I said, "It's so quiet here. None of the Taoists came out. Do they usually do morning and evening classes?"

"No. But this time they really didn't come out again."

I said, "Oh, maybe I was really scared by a large number of people like us."

Chabixing is not as easy to fool as Ye Yunshuang. He turned his head and looked at me: "Miss, do you have any opinions on this Taoist temple?"

“…”

I was quiet for a while before saying, "Don't tell me about this for the time being, wait until I figure it out."

His eyes slightly sternly: "Is there really a problem?"

I glanced at him and didn't say anything. Chabixing was silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss, if you need me, you can come to me at any time. Although I have less time to come back, I still have a few days to stay here every year, and I am familiar with them."

I said, "I know, you don't have to think too much. It's not a big deal, but - don't look for Zhang Yang. It's better not to hear Zhang Yang for him."

He knew as soon as he heard that I was referring to Pei Yuanhao, and nodded with a more serious expression.

The sky was very dark in the mountains. As soon as the sun set, I could hardly see around. Fortunately, I walked around during the day and quickly became familiar with this Taoist temple. At this time, I was carrying a lonely lantern and soon found the alchemy room I went to during the day. The lights were not turned off yet, and I could hear the very light beeping sound of the burning fire.

I walked over and knocked on the door gently, and immediately the door was opened.

The abbot stood at the door and looked at me without surprise: "Miss Yan, you are here again."

I said, "I'm here to bother Taoist Master again."

"Yan is over. Please, Miss Yan."

As if he knew my purpose and had been prepared, he turned sideways and let me into the alchemy room. It was cold and humid outside, but it was warm and dry here. The faint fire in the alchemy furnace made the whole room feel warm as spring. I still sat in the futon next to me, and the abbot also came over and sat next to me.

When the two of them met again, their eyes reflected the red light in the alchemy furnace, flashing one after another, which was completely different from the tests during the day.

He must know what I went to inquire, and I think his kung fu this day is probably also determining what he has done.

So, I first said, "I have a sentence to ask the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest can answer, I will talk to the Taoist priest about what will happen next. If the Taoist priest cannot answer, then I will be in vain tonight."

He said, "Miss Yan, may I ask."
