Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1610 A dog will always eat what he likes!
Seeing that Gu Sansi was hesitant to speak, Jingren couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, do you think my idea makes sense?"

Faced with Jingren's repeated questioning, Gu Sansi really didn't know how to answer. As the Minister of Personnel, he knew very well that those Ye clan members believed that Daqian belonged to their Ye family, and therefore, they, the Ye clan members, should occupy high positions!
Therefore, they were very resentful about not getting what they wanted from Ye Mingsheng. Some of them even thought that Ye Mingsheng was deliberately suppressing the Ye clan!
The rebellion initiated by Ye Baode before actually had such a reason. After the Ye Baode incident, Ye Tie, one of the leaders of the Ye clan, was transferred away from Yijing, which further intensified the spread of such ideas!
So in such a situation, Gu Sansi really didn't want to express his opinion on Ye Mingsheng's family affairs, and immediately spoke vaguely:
"Your Highness! Your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout history! Your Majesty must have his reasons for doing this!"

Hearing such an answer from his usually smart and capable teacher, Jingren became even more confused. However, just when he was about to continue asking questions, Gu Sansi changed the subject without waiting for him to ask and began to test Jingren with other questions.

After a stick of incense, Gu Sansi finished teaching Jingren. After assigning Jingren homework, he also left the palace.

Gu Sansi returned to the Ministry of Personnel, sat on the sofa in his classroom and closed his eyes, but Jingren's words were still echoing in his mind.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Gu Sansi had an idea in his mind!
Gu Sansi felt that if Jingren was an ordinary prince, it would not matter if he had such thoughts. After all, even if they had such thoughts, they could only talk about it at best because they had no chance of taking the throne.
But Jingren is different!
Jingren is the crown prince! He is the heir to the throne! He is the heir to the throne of Daqian!
And the most important thing is that many of Jingren's supporters are conservatives in the current court. Therefore, if Jingren is deeply influenced by these people, then it will undoubtedly be equivalent to planting a huge bomb for the current reform!
When Jingren inherits the throne, there will undoubtedly be a counterattack by the conservatives!

So these things must be taken seriously!

Thinking of this, Gu Sansi immediately walked to the desk and began to write furiously. As Jingren's teacher and a member of the reformist faction in the court, he had the obligation to guide Jingren!

However, since this matter concerns the Ye clan and is His Majesty's family affair, as an outsider, Gu Sansi really does not want to have anything to do with it.

That’s why Gu Sansi didn’t say anything directly to Jingren!
However, Gu Sansi believed that this kind of thing must be made known to His Majesty so as to prevent it from happening!

Yijing, the Imperial Palace

In the bedroom, An Miaoyi frowned slightly, while two young palace maids were kneeling on the ground massaging An Miaoyi's feet.

An hour ago, accompanied by the new Minister of Works Su Junjie, An Miaoyi inspected the construction progress of Furen Palace. Maybe because she walked too much during the inspection, she felt some pain in her feet when she came back.

Under the careful and meticulous massage of the two maids, An Miaoyi's brows relaxed somewhat. Just as An Miaoyi began to close her eyes and enjoy it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Hearing the footsteps, An Miaoyi's expression moved slightly, but she did not open her eyes.

Nanny Huang, who had walked into the room, stood patiently by the side, waiting for An Miaoyi to finish the massage. After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, An Miaoyi opened her eyes lazily, and waved her hand. The two little palace maids, who were already suffering from backaches, dared to stand up, bowed and left the room.

After the two young palace maids left, An Miaoyi looked at Nanny Huang and asked calmly:

"what's the matter?"

Madam Huang replied respectfully:

"The person placed next to Concubine Rou has reported some things!"

When An Miaoyi heard Nanny Huang mention Concubine Rou, her eyes flickered slightly and she immediately ordered:
"Say!"

After getting An Miaoyi's permission, Nanny Huang immediately told An Miaoyi about the conversation between Concubine Rou and Ye Mingsheng in the morning.

When An Miaoyi heard Chen Rouer say that she was an old woman, the originally calm look immediately showed murderous intent in her eyes!
Sensing the murderous intent in An Miaoyi's eyes, Nanny Huang was frightened and stopped immediately. An Miaoyi looked at her coldly and ordered:

"go on!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Nanny Huang told An Miaoyi about what happened later when Ye Mingsheng slapped Chen Rouer. After hearing this, the murderous intent in An Miaoyi's eyes eased.

Seeing this, Nanny Huang took the opportunity to flatter:

"Your Highness! His Majesty still has you in his heart. His Majesty has never laid a hand on a concubine before. This time, Chen Rouer, that bitch, dared to slander His Majesty, and His Majesty slapped her without any hesitation. This is enough to show how important Your Highness is in His Majesty's heart!"

Hearing what Huang Ma said, An Miaoyi snorted with some disdain:

"You really think too much! His heart is as hard as a rock. Is there anyone else in his heart besides Bae Ji-soo?"

"Not to mention that without his favor, even if Chen Rouer had three courages, she wouldn't dare to jump like this!"

"Your Majesty! His Majesty slapped Concubine Rou in the face! This has never happened before!"

"A slap in the face is nothing! He hit me on purpose. If he really meant it, Chen Rouer would have sent him to the cold palace. That would be called caring about me!"

Although An Miaoyi said this, feeling the change in An Miaoyi's expression, Nanny Huang knew that the queen was still very satisfied in her heart, and immediately reported to An Miaoyi:
"After His Majesty left, Mei Niang, who was beside Chen Rouer, chatted with Chen Rouer alone for a while. After the conversation, Chen Rouer seemed to be in a much better mood. She also planned to find a few doctors to treat her. She also donated money to several temples and nunneries in Yijing City!"

After hearing what Huang Ma said, An Miaoyi immediately asked:
"What does she want?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Huang hesitated for a moment and said:
"The doctors that Chen Rouer found seem to be good at conditioning the body!"

As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi immediately understood Chen Rouer's thoughts, and immediately began to speak:
"What a pipe dream! What a pipe dream!"

After saying this, An Miaoyi instructed Huang Ma:

"Where's Qiqige?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know! If your Majesty has something to say..."

Before Madam Huang could finish her words, An Miaoyi said coldly:

"Go find Qiqige for me!"

Hearing An Miaoyi say this, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Nanny Huang's eyes. Although in the eyes of others, she was the newly promoted manager of the Inner Court Department and was deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, and seemed to be in a very glorious position in the eyes of outsiders!

But one's own family knows one's own business. Nanny Huang knew very well that although the Queen Mother promoted her and gave her the job of the Inner Court, this did not mean that she had won the Queen Mother's trust. Apart from the Crown Prince, the only person the Queen Mother trusted in the palace was that savage grassland woman Qiqige!
Although she was the steward of the Inner Court and Qiqige was only the Empress's personal maid, Huang Ma knew very well that compared with Qiqige, she was nothing. She could even say that as long as Qiqige was willing, she would not have a share in the stewardship of the Inner Court! Huang Ma also knew in her heart that Qiqige grew up with the Empress and was brought by the Empress from her natal family. The two were in name only but actually sisters. This kind of friendship was definitely something she did not have!

But Nanny Huang still dreams of gaining more trust from An Miaoyi and thus controlling greater power in the palace. Therefore, Qiqige is a huge obstacle for her!
Although she was quite unwilling at this moment, facing An Miaoyi's arrangement, she did not dare to say anything. She could only bow and accept the order and go to look for Qiqige in the palace...

After an incense stick of time, Qiqige came to An Miaoyi, and An Miaoyi asked directly:

"How's your performance on the thing I asked you to do before?"

Although An Miaoyi didn't say anything directly, the two of them had been together for so many years and they knew each other's feelings very well. Qiqige only thought about it for a moment and understood what An Miaoyi was asking, and then she said:
"My lady, I have almost made all the arrangements. It can be said that everything is ready, except for the east wind!"

Hearing Qiqige's answer, An Miaoyi nodded slightly with satisfaction.

At this time, Qiqige hesitated for a moment and said:
"My lady, I don't think this matter is that troublesome!"

"Give her a clean death! This way we can put an end to it all. Keeping her here will always be a nuisance!"

An Miaoyi heard this and said without comment:
"Humph! What are you going to do? Kill her directly?"

"My queen, it's summer now. The weather is dry and it's normal for a fire to start accidentally in the palace. You can also let some of the food she eats spread for half a year. Then no one will know about it and no one will be able to find out!"

"You silly girl! How dare you! Do you think that His Majesty's spies are just for show? Now His Majesty is so wary of me. If His Majesty knew about this, there would be no good days for you!"

Hearing her queen say this, Qiqige seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and looked a little unhappy.

But soon Qiqige thought of something and reported to An Miaoyi again:

"My Lady, I just found out something and I don't know if I should tell you!"

An Miaoyi said without hesitation:
"Qiqige, you can say whatever you want!"

Qiqige also spoke up after hearing this:

"Madam, do you remember that you asked me to check the details of Madam Huang?"

An Miaoyi nodded slightly and said:

"Of course I remember! At that time, I wanted to promote her to be the manager of the Inner Court Department, so I naturally wanted to see if she was reliable!"

"Qiqige, didn't you tell me at the time that Nanny Huang had a clean background and no problems with her identity?"

Qiqige nodded and said:

"Your Majesty! When I checked Madam Huang, there was indeed nothing wrong with her. Madam Huang's background was innocent, and there were traces of everything that could be traced. But recently I found that something was not right!"

"Not quite right? What's not right?"

"According to my previous investigation, Nanny Huang's name was Huang Fei'er and she was from Youyan. When she was seventeen, she married a man named Liu Hui from Yuyang, Youyan. Not long after they got married, Liu Hui joined the Fengwu Army. Liu Hui later died in the battle with the Cumans!"

"Because Nanny Huang had no children, after Liu Hui died, the Liu family drove Nanny Huang back to her parents' home. But because the Huang family was not well-off, there was no other way. In order to make a living, Nanny Huang entered the Ye Mansion as the widow of a fallen soldier of the Fengwu Army!"

"That's right! Qiqige, you told me so before!"

"My lady, regarding the situation of Madam Huang's family, I sent people to secretly go to the Liu and Huang families to inquire about the situation. There is nothing wrong with what I learned, so I tell you that Madam Huang's family is innocent..."

"Qiqige, just get to the point! What exactly is the problem with Madam Huang?"

"Madame Huang would write a letter to her eldest brother in Yuyang almost every month in the palace, and occasionally she would bring back some silver and the like. At first, I secretly checked two letters and found that there was nothing wrong with them. They were just normal family letters, so I didn't pay much attention to them!"

"But I recently discovered that the letter sent by Nanny Huang may not have left Yijing!"

When Qiqige finished speaking, a cold light flashed across An Miaoyi's eyes, and she immediately asked:
"Have you checked the contents of the letter?"

Qiqige nodded and said:

"I was just doing this. There is nothing wrong with the content of the letter, but I suspect there may be secret codes in it! So do you think I should check further to see who Madam Huang is contacting?"

An Miaoyi fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, An Miaoyi waved her hand and said:

"Don't check anymore!"

Qiqige was very surprised to hear this answer. She asked in confusion:
"Why don't you continue investigating, Madam? The position of the Inner Court Manager is very important. What if Madam Huang really has evil intentions?"

An Miaoyi asked back quietly after hearing this:

"Qiqige, you said that her letter was not sent out of Yijing. Who do you think in Yijing could arrange for her to enter the palace?"

After hearing this, Qiqige was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise:
"My lady, what do you mean?"

"Humph! Just know that there is something wrong with Nanny Huang, and don't continue to care about it! This kind of thing is like a dog that can't change its eating habits. No matter how good you are to people, they still don't have you in their hearts!"

"Even if you give your heart to someone, they will still be false to you and treat you like a snake!"

"If we lose Nanny Huang, we will have Nanny Wang and Nanny Liu. If they insist on doing this, what can you do? Just let them do it..."
