"Eunuch Lu." Jing Qiaoqiao greeted him and walked over, subconsciously asking, "Is it the little emperor looking for me?"
"Hey, Xiao Qiaoqiao, you're so right." Lu Xiaojia came over quickly, "The carriage is ready, Xiao Qiaoqiao, please follow me into the palace."
[No, I have to keep Eunuch Lu here and ask him about the little emperor.]
[Could it be something about the Fifth Prince?]
"I just got back and I'm so tired. I'll sit down for a while before entering the palace." Jing Qiaoqiao walked over and instructed her nephews, "I bought a lot of good things. Nephews, take Eunuch Lu back to the General's Mansion to enjoy together."
The nephews were all smiling, some raised their hands, some raised their feet, all in one go.
In the house.
Several nephews were sitting around, and an eagle was standing in the window.
In the yard, my niece Zhuzhu and Mu Qingran were playing shuttlecock.
Lu Xiaojia looked at these people and was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Little Fairy Qiaoqiao, I have to go back to the palace to report, so I won't stay any longer."
"Wait." Her chubby hands slapped the table, and Jing Qiaoqiao's eyes were cold and deep. "Eunuch Lu, why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk first."
"Qiaoqiao, little fairy, please don't bother us. We are just following your orders!" Lu Xiaojia looked at Jing Qiaoqiao in panic, "Apart from this, there is nothing else."
"Impossible." Jing Qiaoqiao grabbed Lu Xiaojia's arm with her small hand and looked at her nephews. "What is he doing here today?"
"Eunuch Lu asked my aunt to enter the palace."
"What are you doing in the palace?"
"No, nothing." Lu Xiaojia lowered his head, feeling very flustered.
Jing Qiaoqiao asked again, "Nephew, have you given the evidence to His Majesty?"
"Everything has been submitted, but the Third Prince and his men are protesting their innocence, saying there's insufficient evidence to convict them." The eldest nephew hesitated, "It's just..."
"Just what?"
"His Majesty ordered me to guard the Yan family and asked my cousin to collect evidence as quickly as possible."
"The young emperor trusts you, so there's nothing wrong with letting you do this."
Nephew Qiao always felt that something was wrong: "I don't think it's that simple, but I can't explain it for the time being. But aunt, after I finish my investigation, maybe I can understand the reason."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." After Jing Qiaoqiao finished the discussion, she turned to look at the silent Lu Xiaojia, "Eunuch Lu, eat your candy before you leave."
"No more eating, no more eating." Lu Xiaojia waved his hand. "My teeth are all rotten, Qiaoqiao little fairy, let's hurry back to the palace."
"What does the little emperor want from me?"
"Nothing else, it seems we have some gift for the little fairy Qiaoqiao." Lu Xiaojia explained, "But, I think His Majesty didn't look too good after coming down from the morning court."
He pondered, "Most likely he's worried about the assassinations sent by the princes."
"Oh." Jing Qiaoqiao stood up. "Since it's nothing serious, let's go into the palace."
"Okay." Lu Xiaojia finally waited for these words and led the way excitedly.
After entering the palace.
Jing Qiaoqiao didn't see the little emperor.
The little emperor just ordered someone to take her to the Youlin Palace and gave her a lot of gifts.
Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, etc.
Jing Qiaoqiao spun around happily: "Are all of these for me?"
The maids and eunuchs all nodded in agreement.
Jing Qiaoqiao was blinded by the money and sat down happily, thinking it was a reward from the little emperor for finding the spy.
"So sleepy..."
There was a pleasant fragrance in the store. Jing Qiaoqiao sat there and fell asleep in a short while.
Slept until night.
When I got up again, there were still many people on the stairs.
But they are not the Royal Guards.
After all, my fifth nephew is not here.
Jing Qiaoqiao shouted and asked who the guards were, but everyone was like wooden men, not saying a word.
When I asked the maids and eunuchs behind me, they just said they didn't know.
Jing Qiaoqiao is very boring.
I didn't rest late at night.
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the roof was lifted up, revealing a face.
"Auntie, auntie..."
Jing Qiaoqiao raised her head in surprise, "Fifth nephew?"
"Hey, come on down."
In the blink of an eye, Master Jiuli was already sitting in the hall.
"Hey, how did you get in?" the fifth nephew was surprised.
"I walked in openly."
The fifth nephew was puzzled, so he closed the tiles and jumped down, only to find that the guards were asleep.
"They haven't..."
Master Jiuli took out a bamboo tube.
The fifth nephew sarcastically said, "What a low-class method."
"Why are you thinking so much?" Master Jiuli said gently, "Isn't it enough for me to enter the palace and see Qiaoqiao?"
Jing Qiaoqiao jumped onto the stool: "What happened?"
Master Jiuli replied: "Your eldest nephew said that all the princes died in the Heavenly Prison."
"When did you find out?"
"During the first watch," Master Jiuli said attentively, "it seems like they all took poison."
"Is it suicide, or..."
"The coroner's examination confirmed poisoning, and judging by the time, the poisoning occurred before the morning court session."
Jing Qiaoqiao opened her mouth in surprise: "They poisoned themselves before the morning court. It's really unbelievable."
She smiled and said, "Then I'll ask the little emperor again when he comes to see me."
"The problem now is that rumors are spreading that those princes died innocently and were framed by us."
"How could this happen?" Jing Qiaoqiao was hesitating when the voice of a young eunuch was heard outside the hall.
"Who told you to sleep in? Get up, get up..."
