First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 321 Two more

  The little **** went to the Shanggong Bureau numbly, and soon came with Zhang Zhangshi.

  Xiao Liulang is waiting for her outside Renshou Palace.

   Zhang Zhang is the grandmother in the palace. In the Zhaoguo imperial palace, there are palace maids who are 25 years old and can release the rules of the palace. If they don’t go out, they can comb their hair and become an aunt.

   Zhang Zhang is the latter.

  From the maid to the aunt, to the grandma in charge, she has been handed over to the palace for most of her life.

  The little **** who passed the message did not clarify the specific matters. Zhang Zhangshi thought it was the queen mother who summoned her. She came to the door of Renshou Palace. When she saw Xiao Liulang, she was shocked for a while, and she had to take a few steps back in fright!

  Because of this face, more than one person thinks they have seen a ghost, and Guan Shi is getting older again, and it is inevitable that he is more afraid.

  Xiao Liulang didn't take it to heart. He said, "My last name is Xiao, and my name is Liulang. It's a book by Hanlin."

  "Xiao, Xiao Liulang? Not Xiao..." Zhang Zhangshi was about to pronounce that name, but suddenly remembered his humble body, not worthy to recite the name of Zhaodu Xiaohou.

  She calmed down, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said: "Sorry, the servant girl admitted the wrong person."

  Xiao Liulang didn't care very much, he took out the token that the old sacrificial wine had given him—an inkstone with a missing piece on one side.

   Zhang Zhang's face changed again when he saw the Fang Yantai: "You..." She stopped talking, and after a while, asked, "Huo Jijiu asked you to come to me?"

  Xiao Liulang nodded and handed Yantai to her.

Zhang Zhangshi took the inkstone and seemed to recall something, his eyes became complicated: "I never thought he would come to me again this time. Is he okay? I heard that he is back in the capital again. , I have returned to the Imperial College of Sacrifice...

  Xiao Liulang said to her: "He is all well, please don't worry about Zhang Zhang."

   Zhang Zhangshi smiled bitterly: "What do I have to worry about? Even if his person is exiled in the bitter cold, he will not see him die in another country, he will naturally take good care of himself..."

  I always feel that the relationship between the two is not easy, but Xiao Liulang can't inquire about people's privacy.

Zhang Zhangshi looked down at the inkstone in his hand, angrily and funny: "For so many years, he still keeps this broken thing. I thought he had thrown it away. After all, it's not a valuable thing, so why bother keeping it? Letting you come to me with this shows that you trust you very much. Come on, why are you looking for me? No, what are you looking for me? He will never look for me again in his life."

  The appearance of hundreds of thousands of times makes Xiao Liulang sigh, but he will not comfort people.

  Tears flashed in Zhang Zhangshi’s eyes, she smiled, and said nonchalantly: "I made you laugh. Let me tell you, what's the matter?"

   Xiao Liulang didn't go around the corner, and said bluntly: "I'm here to ask Zhang Zhangshi about someone."

   "Who?" Zhang Zhangshi asked.

Xiao Liulang said truthfully: "A man with a mole on his left wrist was in the palace ten years ago. I don't know whether it is a maid or a concubine." It will not be Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao is his aunt and will not harm him. Besides, Empress Xiao always hugged him, he knew what her wrist was like.

   Zhang Zhangshi frowned and fell into thought: "I don't have any impression...but I can help you find it. As long as she has not been released from the palace in these years, I can help you find it. But."

  Xiao Liulang understands that, after all, for the past ten years, there have been maids released in the palace every year. If she is one of them, then she will fall into the sea.

   But soon, Xiao Liulang shook his head again: "No, she should not have been released from the palace."

  The poisonous killing of Xuanping Hou's concubine is a felony, and if found, he will undoubtedly die. If it is a palace concubine, the palace concubine cannot leave the palace; if it is a palace lady, she must be instructed.

   did such an important thing for the master, how could the master release her out of the palace? Either kill Miekou, or stay by your side and continue to work for yourself.

  But after he was poisoned, he hadn’t heard of any vain court ladies.

  The person is still alive.

  Live in the palace.

   Zhang Shi asked: "Is it more than ten years ago?"

  Xiao Liulang said: "Fourteen years ago."

   "Ah..." Guan Shi seemed to think of something. He glanced at Xiao Liulang deeply, nodded and said, "That is to find someone who entered the palace fourteen years ago. Okay, leave this to me."

   Zhang Zhangshi took the Yantai and left.

  Xiao Liulang looked at her back gradually disappearing into the night, and somehow felt that her back was a bit staggered and lonely.

  It's getting late, and the palace is about to close.

  Xiao Jingkong bids farewell to Queen Mother Zhuang.

   Xiao Jingkong said with a sharp glance: "Auntie, you can steal sugar, you can't drink sugar water, and you can't steal fried shortbread, I will tell Jiaojiao."

   Queen Mother Zhuang looked disgusted: "I know, I know, but you talk too much, don't go!"

  Small clearance with her hands behind her, tilted her head and raised her eyebrows: "Then don't miss me too much."

  Queen Mother Zhuang: "I will miss you only when I have a hard time!"

  It’s so noisy!

  Xiao Liulang walked over without hesitation, took Xiaojingkong's hand, and said goodbye to Queen Mother Zhuang.

  He and the Queen Mother didn’t have much to say, the two of them stared at each other, and quickly looked away.

  Look at it, even a glance at him is too much.

   "Get things," Mrs. Zhuang said without expression.

   "Oh, I almost forgot!" Xiao Jingkong broke away from the bad brother-in-law's hand, ran over, picked up a brocade box on the table, and ran over again, "Go!"

  Xiao Liulang looked at the brocade box in his arms, and at his empty-handed himself, there were ten thousand arrows in his heart!

  He glanced at the Queen Mother Zhuang.

   Queen Mother Zhuang lowered her eyes and rolled her face.

  He looked at the table where the brocade box had just been placed, and saw a large number of blind boxes on it, but none of them belonged to him.

  He took a deep breath, pressed his chest, and went out with a black face.

  Queen Mother Zhuang hummed while looking at the back of the big and small leaving.

  On the way home, Xiao Jingkong sat in Xiao Liulang's arms and fell asleep. His hand holding the brocade box was also released. Xiao Liulang held him with one hand while holding the brocade box.

  There is an urge to open the brocade box and take a look, wanting to see what the Queen Mother gave the little guy.

  Why does he have it, he does not?

"What am I thinking?"

  Xiao Liulang felt ashamed of his naivety. He shook his head and pressed the urge to look at the brocade box.

  He forgot that he was only eighteen years old, and he was a young man who could not be crowned.

  He doesn't have to be young or old, nor so calm.

  Back to Bishui Hutong, the night is already late.

  Yao clan and Gu Yan both rested, Fang Ma and Yu Ya'er also went back to rest next door, Gu Jiao was in the main room with black gunpowder.

  The proportion of powder is almost certain, but only powder is not enough, and it has to be made into a powerful weapon or hidden weapon.

  Hearing the movement at the door, she put aside her work and went out and said: "I'm back?"

   "Yeah." Xiao Liulang nodded.

  Gu Jiao walked over and took the sleeping little clear space and put it on the bed in Westinghouse.

   "What is this?" Xiao Liulang asked, looking at the pile of small dark things on the table.

  Gu Jiao came out, thought about it, and said, “I don’t know what it is, eh... black firecrackers?”

  Xiao Liulang: "..."

  What is this name?

Gu Jiao made the black gunpowder the size of a projectile and installed it with an improved small bamboo tube. Phosphorus powder was added to the device of the small bamboo tube. Phosphorus has a low ignition point and will spontaneously ignite after friction and heating. It will ignite the black powder in the bamboo tube to form A small blast.

  The power of blasting is not too great, and deterrence is the main thing.

  It’s just that there is a hidden danger, that is, the weather is too hot, what if there is no friction and the phosphorous powder spontaneously ignites?

  So it has to be improved.

  Gu Jiao said: "I'm ready to boil the water. You go to wash and sleep first. I'll be fine in a while."

  Xiao Liulang thought she was making pills and didn't say anything.

  Gu Jiao continued to bury her head in the black gunpowder. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

  Xiao Liulang opened his mouth: "...nothing."

  Forget it, let’s find out the person first.

The next day was the day when Xiao Liulang entered the palace to give lectures to the prince. He heard that something major had happened in the harem as soon as he entered the study-a head of the Shanggong Bureau died in his room. The emperor Longyan was furious, and immediately after the early dynasty. Rushed to the harem.

  "Which head is it?" Xiao Liulang asked an old **** who went to the study.

  The old **** whispered: "President Zhang, your majesty's clothes are all made by her, and your majesty still talked about her a few days ago..."

Xiao Liulang didn't know that Zhang Zhangshi was actually a female official who was highly regarded by the emperor. Lao Jijiu didn't say it. Of course, it is also possible that Lao Jijiu didn't know about it. After all, it was a matter of the harem. .

  But I only looked for her last night, and something happened to her today, which is very weird.
