Cining Palace.
Nanny Gui was a little impatient and asked the Queen Mother:
"My lady, although Wanzhong has been solved, two people have died in the same way in a short period of time...
Will it arouse suspicion from the Queen and the others? And…"
"Speak!" a coercive voice sounded.
“I am worried that since Your Highness the Little Princess knew that Wanzhong had accepted a huge amount of property, would she also know that we were behind it?
Also, where did the money go...
If the emperor finds out, I will of course swear to protect my master and leave. But...
"Wouldn't it be ruined in an instant after more than ten years of hard work by the master?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face turned very gloomy.
After a moment, the Queen Mother said in a steady voice, "Don't panic! It's been so many years, I have been reminding you.
You’re right in reminding me, that little thing is indeed a serious threat!
But according to the recent events, if that little thing can find out immediately, we can't sit here peacefully now...
The emperor came to find me a long time ago and sent troops to hold me accountable!
If you think about it carefully, what that little thing can infer is almost known to everyone, except the person involved or others who don't know it.
The other party, or other people around her, actually know it, so she can get it.
For example, Wan Chong, although he is usually unrestrained, he dare not make a big fuss.
The bad thing is that over the years, the number of people who have received money from him is at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world, no matter what has been done, the only difference is that the little things can grasp the total number, so it sounds horrifying.
And she didn't tell you about the few times you handled it recently...
Maybe because not enough people knew about it, only the three of us, or the palace maids and others, so she couldn't get it...
Do you think this is possible? "
While the Queen Mother was analyzing, Nanny Qin was thinking seriously.
Seeing the Queen Mother asking, she thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "I think your analysis is reasonable, and this is the most likely possibility now.
But before we are sure, we can't be careless.
I am indeed worried about the little princess.
Maybe at any time, she will know our true identity and some of the things we have done...
Losing everything is not the worst case scenario, what if Nan Chi is implicated...
That’s the real disaster!”
When saying the word "Nan Chi", Nanny Qin looked around cautiously. Even with Nanny Gui's skills, any movement within ten feet around would not escape her hearing.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
"Master, there is one more thing. I heard that before the court was dismissed, the emperor announced that the princess's full moon banquet would be held in Ganlu Palace, and ministers above the fourth rank and their families would attend.
Master, you said that there are many important things ahead. Is the emperor setting the tone for your birthday banquet and not going to hold a grand one?"
The Queen Mother sneered, "Set the tone? He has tasted the sweetness. With that little thing in front of him, it's easy for him to catch a parasite who has hidden millions of dollars in his family...
Although the whereabouts of the money have not been found, it can still serve as a warning to other officials who are trying to get their hands on the money, and it can also serve as a warning to me...
Why doesn't he want to dig out more people like this?
If he could find out the whereabouts of the money, he would probably be even happier!
Even if that doesn't work, it would be good to catch a few more small termites.
Isn't it better than having a big banquet and then leaving after eating? Is there any benefit in that?
Besides, when you mentioned my birthday party, I guess the emperor will also use it to make an article.
Take some time to pass on the letter to those people in the Ministry of Personnel, asking them to keep their promises and keep a low profile for the time being, so as not to let them reveal their true colors at the full moon banquet...
If it really doesn’t work, see if you can take a leave and hide for a while.”
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Nanny Gui looked miserable.
"The emperor has issued a decree that officials above the fourth rank are not allowed to ask for leave, and they don't have to bring gifts, but they must be present.
If you really can't make it, let your eldest son or wife do it for you."
The Queen Mother sneered, "He is sure about this. Does he let everyone be screened?"
Without waiting for Nanny Gui to respond, the Queen Mother said with a look of anticipation, "We have been dormant for more than ten years, but we are not just sitting there doing nothing.
Even without us, how many people in all dynasties could stand up to scrutiny?
He wants to reveal everyone's masks in front of everyone, so he must be able to bear the possible consequences!"
When the Queen Mother smiled, she was very beautiful, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes did not affect her beauty at all.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling Nanny Gui to come closer.
Nanny Gui leaned over to listen to the Queen Mother's instructions.
After listening to this, a smug smile flashed across Aunt Gui's eyes.
