Mrs. Tang raised her eyelids and looked at Man Bao for a while before saying: "Okay, but King Yizhou has not had much news recently, and it is no different from previous years. After entering Beijing, he went to the palace every day to greet the Queen Mother."

Mrs. Tang paused for a moment when she said this, then suddenly approached Man Bao, resting her elbows on the table and staring into Man Bao's eyes and asked, "Why are you asking the King of Yizhou? Did Magistrate Tang ask you to check?"

Man Bao was startled by her sudden approach and shook his head like a rattle.

Mrs. Tang looked sideways at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, indicating that Man Bao was right.

Bai Erlang shook his head along with Man Bao, saying that the magistrate of Tang County did not ask him to investigate.

Bai Shan's head paused, and he turned to look at Bai Erlang. He could only force himself to shake his head, but Bai Erlang nodded along with him.

Man Bao stared at the two stupid junior brothers and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Mrs. Tang smiled slightly and asked, "Have you corresponded with Magistrate Tang recently?"

"Occasionally write one or two letters of greetings," Bai Shan replied cautiously: "After we entered Beijing, Magistrate Tang and Magistrate Yang took good care of us."

"I see, my father-in-law knows about you. I heard him give instructions to the housekeeper to take good care of you." He raised his eyes and looked at them.

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked good, but looked puzzled, "Really, but we have never seen the stewards of the Tang Mansion."

Mrs. Tang looked sideways at Bai Erlang.

Bai Erlang had sweat breaking out on his forehead, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I haven't seen it either."

He felt that he had come in the wrong place. He should not have come here just for a bite of delicious food. Mrs. Tang was really terrible. From now on, Bai Shan and Man Bao would have to do this kind of thing.

Bai Shan paused for a moment and then asked: "Mrs. Tang, King Yizhou is fine, so what's bothering you now?"

Mrs. Tang turned to look at him.

The two people met their eyes and stared at each other in silence for a long time. Then Mrs. Tang asked: "Do you want to ask this yourself, or does County Magistrate Tang want you to ask this?"

Bai Shan was silent for a moment and then said, "Magnificent Tang will agree to our question."

Mrs. Tang twirled the teacup with her fingers and said, "What a troubling thing~~ The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and everyone seems to be very happy, but it's a bit of a pity."

Mrs. Tang said: "A few days ago, a concubine died in the East Palace. It is said that she hanged herself. She just gave birth to a three-month-old child before her death. The princess was still ill because of this, and she is not much better now."

"

Bai Erlang and Man Bao were puzzled, "Why did you hang yourself? How did you abort the child?"

Bai Erlang even lowered his voice and asked: "Is it the Crown Princess who caused it?"

"Impossible!" It was Bai Shan who spoke. Although he heard very little in Guozixue, he occasionally heard one or two sentences. He said: "The prince has never had an heir, and the prince's concubine is also very anxious. The attendant

If I have a child, I should be happy."

Mrs. Tang nodded, "Yes."

Man Bao looked up at Mrs. Tang for a while and asked, "But that concubine was also killed, right?"

Mrs. Tang did not answer, but just said: "Maybe this is the only troublesome thing. The emperor even issued an order to the prince two days ago."

Man Bao thought about the paper they received, and couldn't help but slap the table and said: "I know, it was the King of Yizhou who did it. If the prince has no son, then his status will be unstable, and the foundation of the country will be unstable. Naturally, Chao Gang will also be unstable."

It’s unstable.”

Mrs. Tang spurted the tea out of her mouth and looked at Man Bao with wide eyes, "What did you say? Chao Gang is not stable?"

Man Bao blinked and asked guiltily, "Did I say anything?"

Bai Shan stretched out his hand to cover his face. After a while, he raised his head and said to Mrs. Tang seriously: "Mrs. Tang, you heard wrong. She didn't say anything."

Mrs. Tang: ...These two naughty kids think she is deaf!

She said angrily: "There is another piece of gossip. I don't know if it is true or not. Do you want to hear it?"

Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, while Bai Erlang shook his head.

Bai Shan, who was sitting next to him, reached out and pressed his head, making him nod.

However, Mrs. Tang did not care about his opinion and continued: "I quietly inquired about it, saying that the reason why the prince was reprimanded by your majesty was because he beat the third prince and smashed the third prince's house. But what happened

In the palace, the censor did not write a letter, and your majesty and the queen wanted to suppress the matter, so no one dared to talk about it openly."

Man Bao and Bai Shan opened their mouths wide, then fell into thoughtful silence after a while.

Mrs. Tang looked at their faces and thought thoughtfully.

This meal was not a happy one, because no one was in the mood to eat, so everyone ended the meal hastily. Mrs. Tang gave them a few posts, asking them to come to her if they had anything to do.

Man Bao told her her home address and asked her to come as a guest when she was free, and she could give her some pots of beautiful flowers.

Mrs. Tang knew that she loved money and asked with a smile, "Are you giving it to me, not selling it to me?"

"It's not for sale, it's not for sale. Those pots of flowers don't look like orchids and are worthless."

Mrs. Tang then thought of a pot of flowers she had never heard of that she saw at someone's house yesterday, and couldn't help but ask, "There is a kind of flower called Tianxingcao. Isn't it you who sells it?"

Man Bao blinked, "Mrs. Tang, you have seen it before."

Mrs. Tang: "...I think that flower is quite strange. Is it not valuable? Why is it not valuable?"

Bai Shan coughed lightly, pointed to the front and said, "Mrs. Tang, your carriage has arrived."

Mrs. Tang glanced at him, chuckled, stopped asking, waved her hand and said, "Okay, I understand, I won't tell anyone."

After saying that, he held the girl's hand and got into the carriage.

The smile on Mrs. Tang's face fell as soon as she got in the car, and she picked up the handkerchief again and again.

What is Chao Gang instability?

She vaguely guessed what her husband and the others were investigating, and even more guessed why he refused to tell her these things.

This is a matter of life and death. If you are not careful, someone will die.

Mrs. Tang thought about it, but it wasn't right. Since it was a matter of life and death, he wouldn't even tell her, so why would he let the three children get involved?

How old are those three?

Mrs. Tang frowned and turned to ask the eldest girl, "What does Zhou Man do at home?"

The eldest girl paused for a moment and then said: "It's not that she is a farmer, she also grows medicinal materials, so Miss Man learned medical skills, and her family also started a grain seed business with the master."

"What about Bai Shan? By the way, he is the queen of meritorious officials, the queen of meritorious officials..." Mrs. Tang pondered for a moment and then said: "Go back and check to see what meritorious services his father has made and where he has been an official.

"

"yes."

The three people who also got on the carriage were not quiet either, and they also had solemn expressions on their faces.

The three people who have extensive experience in script writing have come up with several scenarios.

Man Bao stretched out a finger and said: "In one situation, the prince did not have a son, but the third prince did. He wanted to compete with his eldest brother for the throne, so he heard that the prince's concubine was pregnant, so he had her aborted.
