Once this doubt arose, a seed was planted in her heart. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Queen Mother was also related to the corruption case?
This guess made her shudder.
Now, the Prime Minister is determined to get the account books.
But the Queen Mother holds this account book in her hands.
Regardless of their relationship with the corruption case, the most important thing right now is to get the account books.
Maybe through the account book, she could find some clues and clarify the doubts in her heart.
When Su Lijin looked up again, her expression had returned to normal.
"Steal the account book and give it to me." She looked at the palace maid and ordered.
The maid looked at her in surprise: "But, that account book is what the Prime Minister wants. I am hiding in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. If I don't obey him temporarily, I am afraid..."
The palace maid's doubts were indeed true.
However, this is not what Su Lijin needs to consider, as she is not the real Nano.
"Humph, what are you afraid of!"
Su Lijin had a savage look on her face, as if she were the real master of Mongolia: "Now that I have the account book, I will naturally make that old Prime Minister submit to the prince!"
Upon hearing this, the palace maid's eyes lit up. After all, she was on the side of the eldest prince, and she was naturally happy to hear that this move would benefit the eldest prince.
Taking in her expression, Su Lijin's eyes flashed with satisfaction as she said, "Now you know the purpose of the account book. Why don't you go get it? The sooner you finish it, the more help the eldest prince will get."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The palace maid stood up swiftly, turned over and sneaked into the palace.
After she left, Su Lijin let out a breath, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
She didn't expect to meet spies sent by Mongolia here, and they were also here for the accounts.
But now that you have come across it and it happens to be useful, why not use it?
But wait...
While she was thinking, after a while, she heard some movement beside her. She turned around and saw that the palace maid appeared again.
The palace maid was holding a blue-covered account book!
Glancing at the account book, Su Lijin reached out and said, "Give it to me."
The maid handed over the account book without hesitation: "This is it. Please keep it well. The Prime Minister will surely be very wary."
Holding the account book in her hand, Su Lijin flipped through it casually and was shocked.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw the people and numbers involved.
It seems that this is undoubtedly the account book.
After confirming the reliability of the account book in her hand, Su Lijin raised her eyes, looked at the palace maid, and raised her hand gently.
A burst of powder was sprinkled on the palace maid, and before she could react, she fell down quietly.
Su Lijin closed her eyes. She had to get rid of this palace maid, otherwise, the prime minister would know about the account book.
In the empress dowager's bedroom separated by a palace wall, the empress dowager woke up after sleeping for a while.
She habitually touched the side of the pillow, but found nothing.
"What's going on?"
The Queen Mother was puzzled and searched everywhere around the pillow, but she couldn't find the blue-covered account book. It had disappeared!
“It was stolen!”
Staring at the pillow with gnashing teeth, the Queen Mother shouted outside: "Come, catch the thief!"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs ran in, followed by a team of palace guards.
"Queen Mother, what happened?"
Everyone looked at the Queen Mother, and then looked around the bedroom, but the bedroom was tidy and not messy at all.
The Queen Mother was furious and slammed the table. "How do you do your job? You didn't even know there were thieves in the palace?"
The palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
The guards also leaned forward to apologize, and asked nervously, "I wonder what the Queen Mother lost? Where did the thief run off to?"
"Hmph, the important item the late emperor left for me was stolen."
The Queen Mother angrily said, "Search the entire palace immediately and make sure you get that thing back for me!"
"yes!"
The guards received the order and immediately sent people to search the entire palace.
Looking at the guards who received the order, a dark light flashed in the empress dowager's eyes.
The account books cannot be made public. The previous emperor must be used as a cover, otherwise it would be disastrous if people knew what was lost.
Although we don't know who stole the account book, he must be in this palace in such a short time.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "I want to see who is so bold as to go against me!"
All of a sudden, all the palaces were surrounded by the influx of guards, and every room inside and outside the palace was searched thoroughly.
Everyone was terrified by the scene. When they heard that the empress dowager had lost something left by the late emperor, they were even more shocked and suspicious, wondering what was lost.
In Kunning Palace, Su Lijin sat upright on a high seat with a teacup at her side.
The guards looked at her respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, we are ordered by the Queen Mother to search the entire palace. Please cooperate."
Su Lijin took a sip of tea, then looked up and said gently with a smile, "Since you have followed the Queen Mother's order, go over there."
Seeing that they had gotten permission so easily, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and immediately searched the entire hall.
Seeing the guards searching the bedroom, Xianxian said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, how could you allow the guards to search there randomly? That is the Queen's bedroom."
Hearing this, Su Lijin glanced inside, a hint of something flashing in her eyes. She curled her lips and said, "It's okay. They can't find anything. Let them search."
The Empress Dowager used the late Emperor's belongings as a cover and dared not make it public, so she must be afraid.
