Chapter 315 Smart People
Qin Yuwei frowned slightly and looked at Biyu again.
"You are so young, but you have a lot on your mind."
Biyu quickly lowered her head nervously.
Qin Yuwei did not mean to blame her. After all, if she was really naive in her heart, she would not live long in the East Palace.
"Zhou Liangdi is a little stupid, but she is not stupid enough to blatantly use her own name to send those medicines to the Crown Princess. After she used the medicine last time, how could she keep it with her and wait for people to find it?" Qin Yuwei said.
"Now I am helping Zhou Liangdi with the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. The in and out of those tonic medicines not only have to go through my hands, but also through the kitchen and pharmacy. After the medicinal food is prepared and sent, even if something goes wrong, she can easily push it onto me or other servants, saying that she was framed.
Her father is in charge of the palace guards. If there is no solid evidence, do you think His Royal Highness will torture her to extract a confession?"
Biyu didn't say anything after listening to this, and seemed to be thinking about Qin Yuwei's words.
Qin Yuwei continued:
"What do you think the Eastern Palace is? This is the residence of the Crown Prince. If they didn't intentionally let down their guard, how could something like abortion medicine be brought in?
Besides, even I could find out that the medicinal food had problems, how could the Crown Princess not know? "
After hearing this, Biyu was stunned, and suddenly felt a chill on her back, "Madam, you mean..."
Qin Yuwei looked at her meaningfully.
“There are always more smart people in this world than you think.”
If I guessed correctly, this matter was under the control of Crown Princess Dong Lanxin from beginning to end. I guess Dong Lanxin must have discovered what I asked Biyu to add to the medicinal food.
It's enough if your intention is clear, why bother running to others to seek credit?
As for Zhou Liangdi, she was targeting Dong Lanxin, so there was no need for her to be the first to speak out.
When gods are fighting, isn't it wonderful to just watch the fire from the other side of the river?
However, seeing that Dong Lanxin has not yet exposed the matter, there must be other considerations.
Qin Yuwei guessed that it was because of the imperial guards in the hands of Zhou Liangdi's father. Now the crown prince and Prince Qi were fighting fiercely, Prince Qi had the support of his father-in-law, Prince Zhenbei, and most of the generals in the court were also the followers of Prince Zhenbei. Only the imperial guards were firmly in the hands of the crown prince.
The trump card of the Imperial Guard must not be lost at this moment. Dong Lanxin and the Crown Prince share the same fate, so even if she wanted to take revenge, she couldn't kill Zhou Liangdi at this critical moment.
Qin Yuwei sorted out her thoughts and heard Biyu say that the meal was about to be served.
"Your Highness, the kitchen cooked fish today. I specifically asked this servant to remind you that it is Jiangzhou perch from your hometown. It will definitely suit your taste."
After the meal was served, Qin Yuwei said she wanted to eat alone and dismissed all the servants.
She used chopsticks to pick open the belly of the fish and found a piece of paper wrapped in oil paper.
It was a letter from Zhu Lan, saying that Qiao Youyou was already the new owner of Tongyun Money House, and he came to tell her specially.
A smile from the heart that had not been seen for a long time appeared on Qin Yuwei's beautiful face.
She lit the note, and when it had completely turned to ashes, she called back Biyu and asked her to pick out two of her best pieces of jewelry and wrap them up carefully, saying that she was going out for a while.
Firstly, it was to congratulate Youyou, and secondly, to discuss future plans with friends such as Zhu Lan.
…
Qin Yuwei, wearing a bamboo hat, entered the Yuxiang Pavilion from the back door and went straight to the most remote private room.
When the door was opened, Zhu Lan, Qiao Youyou, Xiao Wan, Zhou Da and Xu Shiming, who were still in the capital, had arrived. They were talking about Qiao Youyou's disturbance in the Minister's Mansion.
Zhou Da clapped his hands on the table and laughed, saying that Qiao Youyou's name had now spread throughout the six ministries, and that he had even heard of her heroic deeds in the Military Equipment Bureau.
"Miss Qiao has turned the Ministry of Revenue upside down by herself. The Ministry of Revenue has now issued new rules. If you want to increase the number of directors, you must report to the superiors for approval, and the salary must be calculated on a time basis. The extra salary must be paid by each department!
Hahaha! You don’t know, after the Ministry of Revenue was reorganized, we who work so hard in the Military Equipment Bureau are almost envious to death. We are looking forward to Miss Qiao coming to the Military Equipment Bureau for two days to save us from the dire situation! "
"Oh, right." Zhu Lan asked Zhou Da curiously, "Didn't the Sixth Prince ask you to research cannons at the Military Equipment Bureau? How's the progress? Why are we only seeing fireworks outside, but not hearing any news about weapons?"
"Well." Zhou Da waved his hand. "I have encountered a technical barrier. It is too difficult to realize the iron mold casting cannon in this era. I am still trying to find a way to overcome it. Fortunately, the prince does not rush me. I can do the experiment at ease and slowly find a way. I will eventually be able to solve the problem."
Zhu Lan nodded to show that he understood, while Xiao Wan beside him held her chin with a rather melancholy look.
Now that the rules of the Ministry of Revenue have changed, Minister Lu actually came to talk to her specifically, and tactfully stated that the budget that can be allocated to the Ministry of Revenue is limited, and asked her to leave her duty during the You hour unless it is absolutely necessary in the future.
As a doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources, Zhao Sicheng didn't spend much time in the capital. It was still dark at the hour of You, and he didn't know what to do when he got off duty so early.
Fortunately, she has already applied to Minister Lu to take some non-confidential official business home for processing, and hopes to get approval.
Xu Shiming pretended to roll his eyes and began to calculate, "I was wondering why I saw an unusual number coming to the officialdom of Daliang when I observed the sky at night. It turned out to be you!"
Qin Yuwei also laughed, took off her hat, walked over and sat with everyone.
In this small world, there is no number one scholar, beautiful lady, or prince's groom, but only the most precious friendship which is unique in another world.
Everyone felt the long-lost relaxation at this moment.
"Youyou, congratulations on finally finding what you want to do most." Qin Yuwei smiled and handed her the gift. The others then remembered and took out their gifts.
"Then I'm welcome!" Qiao Youyou accepted it with a smile.
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door of the private room. Qiao Youyou, who was closest to the door, went over and opened it. She saw that the dishes had been neatly placed on the table outside the door, but there was no one in sight.
"Wow, it's actually beef hotpot!!!" Qiao Youyou exclaimed in surprise, and couldn't help but recall the time she spent at Longchang Academy.
Zhu Lan stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's serve ourselves!"
Wang Defa, the current boss of Yuxiang Pavilion, is a very discerning man. He knows that the gathering of his people is secretive and did not let any waiters get close. He brought the dishes one by one personally and then left quietly.
Zhou Da opened two jars of Jiangzhou Moutai, and the rich aroma of the wine immediately filled the air. He smacked his lips and said, "Well, it smells good, but it's not as good as the wine Liang Zhou stole from his father."
