Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 363: The Palace Maids Are Not to Be Tried With 4

Seeing that Dong Shuang still refused to admit it, Zhang Xintong fed her a low-level truth pill.

"Dongshuang, did you order Mammy to do the rat riot?"

"Yes"

"Were you the one who poisoned the pond in the Imperial Garden?"

"it's me"

"What about those birds falling to their deaths?"

"I asked the commander of the Royal Guard to do it."

"Why would the commander of the Royal Guard listen to you?"

"He liked me, and I promised to be with him after the matter was settled, so he did it for me."

Xiao Yuan didn't show it on her face, but the more she listened, the angrier she became. This Dong Shuang was so despicable. Her mother had raised Dong Shuang since she was young, and she trusted her deeply, yet Dong Shuang actually did these things behind her back.

Xiao Yuan asked Dong Shuang

"Winter Frost, why are you doing this?"

"Because I want to be the queen and don't want to be inferior to others."

"Dongshuang, who ordered you to do this?"

Because of the truth pill, Dong Shuang wanted to tell the truth, but there was something in her body that was resisting her. In the end, the two forces fought each other, and Dong Shuang vomited blood and died.

Dong Shuang suddenly vomited blood, which scared everyone present. The person who was fine just now died in an instant.

Zhang Xintong wanted to go over to check, but Xiao Yuan held her back.

"Xia He, don't go. Let someone handle it so that they don't hurt you."

Zhang Xintong pats Xiao Yuan

"It's okay, Your Majesty. She's already dead. I'll check and find out the cause."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment. Xia He was like her mother. Every time her mother comforted her, she would pat her and say to her, "It's okay, Yuanyuan, I can handle it."

Xiao Yuan looked at Xia He and saw her putting on gloves and carefully examining Dong Shuang. She looked just like her mother did every time.

Although Xiao Yuan is 20 years old and has become the queen, she has deep feelings for Zhang Xintong. She doesn't know why Xia He gives her the feeling of being her mother?

Zhang Xintong checked carefully and found that it was not poisoning or assassination, but a poisonous insect. This kind of insect forbids the person who is poisoned from revealing anything related to it. Just now, Dong Shuang wanted to reveal the person behind the truth pill under the effect of it, so the insect killed her.

After Zhang Xintong examined her, she had someone find a place to bury Dong Shuang. The insects died when they killed Dong Shuang, so no special treatment was needed.

Zhang Xintong took off her gloves, washed her hands, and came to Xiao Yuan.

"Your Majesty, Dong Shuang died from a poisonous insect. She even tried to poison me before. I don't know if she did anything to Your Majesty. I'm worried and will check for Your Majesty."

"it is good"

Zhang Xintong carefully examined Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan suddenly called out "Mother," and Zhang Xintong naturally took over the conversation, "Well, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xintong was stunned after receiving the message. She had only been Xia He for a few days and hadn't gotten used to it yet. It looked like Xiao Yuan had discovered her. How had she discovered it?

Zhang Xintong......

Xiao Yuan confirmed what he was thinking and hugged Zhang Xintong excitedly.

"Mother, it's great that you're still here!"

Zhang Xintong pats Xiao Yuan

"How did Yuanyuan find out?"

"My mother has this little habit of comforting me. She always pats me first and then says it's okay."

"You found out just like that! My Yuanyuan is so smart!"

"The Queen Mother taught me well!"

"Okay, stop flattering me."

"How could I? Mother, how did you become Xia He?"

Zhang Xintong didn’t know how to explain it to Xiao Yuan, so she could only say it simply.

"Yuanyuan, Xia He wanted me to stay and protect you, so she lent me her body."

"Mother, are you still leaving?"

"I won't leave, I'll always be with you"

Xiao Yuan hugged Zhang Xintong again

"That's great, mother."

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a while, and Xiao Yuan suddenly asked Zhang Xintong

"Mother, what about Father? Is he still here?"

Xiao Yuan knew very well how good the relationship between Zhang Xintong and Xiao Yu was. Since the Queen Mother was still alive, did the Emperor Father also exist?

"I haven't had time to look for him yet, but he's there too. I'll tell you when I find him."

"okay"

As the old saying goes, a child with a mother is a treasure. With Zhang Xintong around, Xiao Yuan seemed to have turned back into a child, no longer having to hold up the sky above his head by himself.

Xiao Yuan did not have any poisonous insects on her body, but to be on the safe side, Zhang Xintong gave her a sachet containing special medicinal powder that would make the poisonous insects run away when they smelled it.

"Yuanyuan, this is a sachet to keep the poisonous insects away. You should wear it all the time. Place it next to your bowl when you eat. If the food moves, don't eat it."

"Okay, mother, I understand."

"After court tomorrow, call Zhang Shu to the harem. I have something to ask her."

"What does the Queen Mother want?"

"Yuanyuan, now that the palace affairs are settled, I want to be a court lady."

"So the Queen Mother's name is Zhang Shu?"

"Let her propose the appointment of female officials in the court, and then you agree. Only if you two cooperate with each other can it succeed."

"Mother, which department do you want to go to?"

"I'm going to the Dali Temple. Although the matter in the palace has been resolved, the rumors in the imperial city are getting more and more rampant, which is very unfavorable to you. I'm going to investigate the case thoroughly and find out who is behind it."

Xiao Yuan acts coquettishly in Zhang Xintong's arms

"Mother, it's great to have you here!"

Zhang Xintong pinched Xiao Yuan's face

"You're already the queen, yet you're still acting like a spoiled brat!"

"I don't care who I am, I am the Queen Mother's child"

“good good”

That night, the mother and daughter slept together.

The next day, Zhang Shu followed Xiao Yuan to the harem after court.

Zhang Xintong smiled knowingly when she saw Zhang Shu.

"Zhang Shu, we need your help on this new mission."

Zhang Shu was stunned at first, and then her face was full of surprise.

"Boss, is that you?"

"it's me"

"You didn't leave?"

"I was worried about my daughter, and I happened to have a new mission, so I stayed."

"What does the boss need me to do?"

"I want you to propose the appointment of female officials in the court tomorrow. I want to be a female official and investigate the recent strange events and murders in the imperial city."

"Boss, this won't be easy to succeed. Those old stubborn people won't agree. I was able to enter the court before because the late emperor was still alive, and I served as the Protector of the Country for 20 years. But this time they are going to establish new female officials. I have a feeling they will make a big fuss."

Zhang Xintong called Zhang Shu and Xiao Yuan together

"You guys, 1. First you want a high position, like a prime minister, and then you step down step by step until you reach the position of Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple.

2. Appoint this female official to investigate the case of the Imperial City's sacred stone. She is to investigate the case within one month. If she fails to do so, she will be dismissed. If any minister disagrees, let them investigate. Let them know in advance that if they fail to solve the case, they will also be dismissed.

3. If you two do 1 and 2 well and then apply strong pressure, this will work.”

"Boss, it has to be you, you're awesome!"

"Mother, you are so amazing"

Zhang Xintong......

A pair of flatterers

On the second day of the court, Xiao Yuan and Zhang Shu worked in perfect harmony and successfully secured the position of female official of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing. Although there was a fierce argument, the result was satisfactory.

Zhang Xintong went to the Dali Temple to report the next day. The main duties of the Dali Temple Shaoqing were to assist the Dali Temple Qing in handling daily affairs, including hearing cases, reviewing and examining cases sentenced by the Ministry of Justice, hearing death penalty cases on behalf of the emperor, etc. The Dali Temple also participated in the formulation of laws and policies.
