Luo Qingshuang asked: "Which official did you offend?"
"The surname is Zhou, and it is rumored that he is a disciple of Chen Guogong."
Zhao An opened her mouth without telling the truth, and by the way, she tested the Queen Mother. Sure enough, when she heard the words Chen Guogong, her body trembled, and her pink fist secretly clenched a little.
She doesn't seem to get along well with Chen Guogong, what an unexpected bonus!
"Go back and tell the emperor that your family will go to the banquet tomorrow."
Luo Qingshuang waved her hand, Zhao An didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry without stopping. The moment he walked out of the palace gate, his whole body was soaked with sweat.
As a queen mother, she would not kill her for such a thing. Either she wanted to taste the feeling of being separated for a long time, or she was deeply scheming.
There is no way to escape.
You must have a good relationship with her and mention her importance in her heart so that it can last for a long time.
Zhao An left, and Wei Yundiao entered the hall. He was relieved when he saw Luo Qingshuang was as calm as usual, and then said unconvinced: "Your Majesty, I think Zhao An is smooth-tongued and not like a kind person."
"Eunuch Wei, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask Zhou Fang to come over immediately with the account book. In addition, send General Changyuan to investigate Zhao An's background."
"Slave takes orders."
Wei Yundiao was elated.
The Queen Mother wants to investigate Zhao An, indicating that something is wrong with Zhao An. This is a good opportunity for him to add insult to injury!
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Fang presented the account book and knelt at Luo Qingshuang's feet, feeling indescribably uneasy and frightened.
He knew his own affairs well. He, Zhou Fang, had embezzled a lot from the internal affairs treasury. If he was found out, his life would be at risk.
Surprisingly, the Queen Mother did not look at the account book, but asked a question, "Zhao An, have you ever brought anyone into the palace?"
"My slave didn't, it's unfair!"
Zhou Fang was almost scared to death, even if he was extremely brave.
Luo Qingshuang didn't speak, her jade fingers tapped the account book rhythmically.
At least half of the eunuchs in the harem were bought, and it was common for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enter and leave the palace walls. It was impossible for an unclean man to come in, so she was sure that Zhou Fang had lied.
Thinking of this, she half-smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhou, go and wait outside the palace. You are not allowed to leave without the Ai family's order."
Just like that, Zhou Fang knelt outside the hall with a confused look on his face. He knelt down late into the night. Luo Qingshuang had no intention of letting him get up. His kneecaps were about to be broken!
In desperation, he had to ask Wei Yundiao for help.
Wei Yundiao sneered: "It's not Zhao An's fault. You hurt him last time. He might have said something in the Queen Mother's ears."
"Eunuch Wei, I am wronged. The young one really never brought anyone in."
Zhou Fang was about to cry. How could He De, that shameless villain Zhao An, be so favored by the Queen Mother?
He was surprised, and Wei Yundiao was even more surprised.
Anyway, judging from the posture of the Queen Mother, she will not give up.
"Damn it, I have to kill him."
Zhou Fang's teeth itched with hatred. Wei Yundiao's eyes lit up and he said, "If you want to sleep in the harem, you must not be merciful. The opportunity is right in front of you. It depends on whether Eunuch Zhou can seize it."
Zhou Fang was stunned when he heard this, and then he was enlightened.
right! There will be a banquet at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests tomorrow, and Zhao An will definitely die without a burial place!
Half an hour later, a golden-armored general wearing a golden mask arrived. If Zhao An was here, he would definitely recognize him as the man who had previously aimed a powerful crossbow at him from a hundred meters away.
His name is Chang Yuan, a mysterious being guarding Cining Palace. Only the Queen Mother knows his identity.
Chang Yuan knelt on one knee in front of the hibiscus tent and whispered: "Go back to the Queen Mother and find out clearly that Zhao An's life experience was indeed miserable in his early years. Later he was bought into the palace and adopted by the old eunuch Hong Biao."
"Hong Biao? It sounds familiar."
"He was once the general manager of a black factory, and was later jointly condemned to death by Chen Guogong and others on the charge of cholera in the harem."
"Now that I think about it, he is actually a loyal old slave."
"In addition, some time ago, Zhao An went to Cuilan Garden with the wizard Chang Ming, and wrote two poems to win the favor of the oiran Qian Yuwei. Qian Yuwei is the only daughter of the former minister of the Ministry of Justice. The minister of the Ministry of Justice offended the little ghost Gu Shi Donghai. The young master was impeached and imprisoned, and soon the whole family was executed, and Qian Yuwei was transferred to the Jiaofang Division."
"Write poetry?"
Luo Qingshuang was stunned, "Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true." Changyuan took out a piece of rice paper and sent it to Furong's tent with his head lowered.
Snow-white jade hands reached out of the gauze tent and took it.
"Ten years of life and death are so vast. I can't forget them without thinking about them. I am alone in a tomb thousands of miles away, and there is no place to talk about the desolation."
"I want to put my thoughts on the Yao Qin. I have few close friends, and no one will listen when the string is broken."
Luo Qingshuang was stunned for a moment while looking at the poem, and then became angry, "Damn slave, how dare you deceive the Ai family."
Eunuchs were not allowed to be literate, and the accounting of the House of Internal Affairs was handled by foreign officials.
Where does a little eunuch get his talent?
If you really come from a poor family, this is absolutely impossible!
"Your Majesty, do you want to jail people for torture?" Chang Yuan asked habitually.
Luo Qingshuang thought for a moment and rejected it, "Keep that slave, the Ai family is still useful. In addition, you can inform Zhou Fang and let him go back."
Chang Yuan took the order and left, never raising his head to look at the Furong tent from the beginning to the end.
Luo Qingshuang lifted up the curtain, wearing a thin gauze dress, her body was looming. She chewed these two lines of poetry over and over again, her mood was extremely complicated.
The Luo family comes from a scholarly family, and now that she is in her current position, she is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It can be seen that these two sentences are destined to be famous throughout the ages.
"The little eunuch can write poems, and he can write so well, and he is entangled with Chang Ming, who killed the old prince. The Ai family is really getting more and more curious." Luo Qingshuang's curiosity about Zhao An increased sharply, and she killed There was also a little more interest.
That night, Zhao An couldn't stop sneezing and couldn't figure out which link had the problem.
He has already ordered the imperial kitchen to add medicine to Zhou Fang's tea before he enters the palace tomorrow. There should be no trouble...
A night of silence.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests became busy the next day. Zhao An originally planned to take a look, but to his surprise, Wei Yundiao sent the account book over and said in a nonchalant manner: "The Queen Mother asked the Zajia family to send it, and the Zajia family didn't know the Queen Mother's plan."
"Maybe let His Majesty check it."
Zhao An said angrily that no one should know that he was literate. As for the Queen Mother doing this, she most likely had checked his background.
Damn it!
It feels good to have someone doing things. It seems that it is best not to speak in front of the Queen Mother in the future, so as not to make too many mistakes.
Zhao An threw the account book to the empress who was checking the memorial. Zhao An did not say that it was the empress dowager who asked him to check the accounts, but only that he hoped that she, the emperor, would do it for her.
The empress didn't think much, she opened the account book and glanced at it briefly, "No problem."
"Are you really okay?"
Zhao An casually pointed out the amount of money coming in and out. Does anyone have a clear count of the money coming in and going out?
The empress took a closer look and laughed angrily.
I didn't look carefully just now, but every account has this number!
It was clear that the foreign official who was responsible for keeping the accounts had an eye on it. If the incident came to light, he could use it as evidence to accuse Zhou Fang and clear himself out.
"Why did the Queen Mother suddenly want to investigate Zhou Fang? Is it because of what you said to the Queen Mother?"
The empress knows Zhao An too well, and she will retaliate if she doesn't follow the rules.
