"What are the instructions of the Crown Princess?"

This maid followed Ruan Wanwan for many years and was deeply trusted by Ruan Wanwan. Ruan Wanwan did not hide it from her and directly told the whole story.

Although the maid was quite frightened, she felt a little more at ease when she saw Ruan Wanwan looking confident.

"This matter is of great importance. Don't mention it to others before finding evidence."

Ruan Wanwan said, taking out a bag and handing it to the maid.

"After breakfast, you can send this to the Queen's harem and hand it over to the Queen's personal palace maid, and tell her about the flowerpot."

"yes."

The maid knew the pros and cons of this, so she did not dare to be careless at all. She took the burden and quickly entered the palace.

...

At this time, the queen had already gotten up and was having breakfast after dressing up.

The palace maid who had been serving her closely was not around. When the queen was about to finish her meal, the palace maid came back with a bag in her hand.

The queen wiped the corner of her mouth with a veil and asked, "Why have you been there for so long?"

The palace maid smiled and said, "It was the Crown Princess who ordered someone to send some clothes and food."

The queen understood Ruan Wanwan's intention, and she had nothing to lack in the palace. The Crown Princess's maid came in to deliver things in broad daylight, just to show those who didn't know the truth.

The palace maid put down the bag and found an excuse to instruct other servants to go out, so that the most important information was informed to the queen.

"The princess said there was something wrong with the flower pot."

"Oh?" The queen then realized that the girl brought the flower pot back last night, and this was the reason.

“What’s the problem?”

"Someone tried to deal with the flowers and wanted to kill the Empress."

The palace maid told the queen about the seabuckthorn grass in its entirety and asked, "Empress, what should we do?"

The queen has been in the harem for many years and has seen many such tricks of harming people. She has long been calm and has an idea in her mind: "Go and check, who has touched this pot of flowers."

"I have checked it. The flowers were sent by the servants in the flower room, and then it was Liu'er in our palace who was taking care of them."

"Liu'er?" The queen frowned slightly: "Is it the new one three months ago?"

“That’s right.”

The queen knew in her heart that the servants in the flower room gave such flowers to every palace. The people in these flower rooms would not have any problems, and the problems could only lie with the people around her.

"You go and investigate carefully, what is the origin of this Liu'er?"

"yes."

The palace maid got the order and went out. She has been in the palace for many years and has a wide connection. It is very simple to find out about her. She brought news to the queen in the afternoon.

"Empress, I found it."

The palace maid took a booklet and respectfully handed it to the queen, recording everything about Liu'er.

"This palace maid named Liu'er only entered the palace last year. Because she is diligent and honest, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs likes her very much, so she transferred her to our palace courtyard. Seeing that she is very strong and has a neat job, I arranged for her to do some work to take care of flowers and plants."

The queen was flipping through the booklet while listening to the palace maids.

"Liu'er is from an ordinary family and her family is all ordinary people. She farms for a living, but she can't see anything abnormal."

After finishing the booklet, the queen tapped the table with her fingernails and smiled, "The more she can't find the problem, the bigger the problem."

The palace maid looked confused and could not guess the queen's plan.

"You go out first, continue to stare at Liu'er, don't disturb her first, let her continue to take care of the flowers and plants. Whenever there is any situation, report it to me immediately."

"yes."

The queen thought for a moment, got up and walked to the corner of the wall, and tapped her lightly three times at the wall.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind passed by, and a black figure fell lightly on the ground. The whole process was extremely fast and almost no sound was made. It was a secret guard responsible for protecting the queen's safety.

"Sir, please see the Queen."

The queen handed him the booklet in her hand: "This person, go check me her hidden information."

"yes."

The secret guard took the booklet and flew lightly to the beam, as if he had never appeared before.

All the information of the harem maids was collected in the palace. If there were any errors or omissions, the secret guards would investigate differently. Not only could they check in the palace, but they could also go outside the palace, and the information they found was more comprehensive.

The next morning, the secret guard appeared quietly in the queen's harem.

"Empress, I found out that Liu'er is indeed a problem."

The queen looked "It's true" and said, "Say."

"He is the most ordinary woman. His parents are honest and honest farmer. There is also a younger brother. Liu'er entered the palace for this younger brother."

The queen raised her eyebrows and signaled him to continue.

"Liu'er's younger brother is gambled by nature and is lazy. He has no money at home. He is even more injuring him. Liu'er's parents are very fond of this son and rarely discipline him. Therefore, Liu'er's younger brother often causes trouble. He borrows a lot of money but cannot pay it back. He gradually owes a large amount of debt. Liu'er heard that he can make more money when he goes to the palace to do things, but he only goes to the palace to pay off his debts."

Although the queen spent most of her life in the palace, she still had some understanding of the lives of the people outside the palace. After hearing this, she already understood a rough idea.

The secret guard continued: "Liu'er's wages are a drop in the bucket in the face of huge debts, and they are useless. However, it has been less than a year since Liu'er entered the palace and his family's debts have been paid off."

As he said that, he took out an account book from his arms and handed it to the queen. When the queen opened it, she found that it was full of usury accounts.

"Now, Liu'er's parents have taken their younger brother back to their hometown and stopped farming. They have bought several properties. In addition to doing their own business, they also rented them to others and collected rent. They can earn a lot of money every month, and their family situation has improved a lot."

The queen looked at the accounts and said, "The income of ordinary people is not large. For them, this huge debt cannot be paid in three to five years. Liu'er's wages are only enough for her own use, so... it must be someone who gave their family a lot of money through some reason."

The secret guard took out another piece of paper full of words, which was covered with a red seal.

"Empress, this is the deposit status of Liu'er's family in the money house."

The queen took it over and saw it. There was a lot of money in the accounts, and it was almost as good as the monthly money she, the queen, had for the year.

"Hmph, they have taken great pains to deal with this palace."

The queen handed the account book back to the secret guard and ordered: "Put these things back quietly, don't disturb people, continue to stare at me and see who they are in contact with Liu'er's parents and brothers."

"yes."
