Chapter 1438 The Queen’s Purpose!
Compared to being surprised by An Miaoyi's arrival, Pei Zhixiu was also surprised by the content of An Miaoyi's conversation with her!
Although I understand that with An Miaoyi's level, it is unlikely that she will come to attack me!
But Pei Zhixiu also felt that An Miaoyi’s visit this time must have some testing and warning intentions!
However, An Miaoyi did not do so at all. She brought some fresh fruits to Pei Zhixiu, and during the conversation, she asked Pei Zhixiu about her recent situation, how she ate, how she slept, etc.!
Although he didn't know what An Miaoyi was doing, Pei Zhixiu knew that his every move in the palace was being monitored by An Miaoyi. Even though he was forced to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, there had always been An Miaoyi's spies in his small courtyard!

Therefore, Pei Zhixiu told An Miaoyi the truth and said that she wanted to write a medical book specifically for women's diseases so that it could be used as a teaching material for female students in medical school!

After hearing Pei Zhixiu's idea, An Miaoyi was very supportive of it and directly told Pei Zhixiu that if she needed any reference materials, she should send someone to tell her, and then she would ask someone to get them from the medical school and then send them to Pei Zhixiu!
Seeing An Miaoyi's kindness, Pei Zhixiu became more and more confused, wondering what An Miaoyi was planning!
After talking about Pei Zhixiu's recent situation, An Miaoyi also told Pei Zhixiu about the recent events in the palace, including the affairs of the Inner Court.

An Miaoyi also told Pei Zhixiu that Aunt Cao had betrayed her and used her power to benefit herself and her family. During this process, An Miaoyi told Pei Zhixiu that she had no idea that Aunt Cao was such a person...

As the queen, she was deceived and trusted the lawless person Cao Ma so much, which led to such serious consequences!

She is now extremely regretful and self-blaming, annoyed that she had trusted the wrong person and had trusted the bitch, Madam Cao!

When Pei Zhixiu heard An Miaoyi telling her this, she was even more confused. She didn't understand why An Miaoyi said these words to her!
As the queen, An Miaoyi, no matter how upset or regretful you are, there's no need for you to tell a concubine like you, right?
What's more, as a royal concubine, she is still a guilty person and is confined at home to reflect on her mistakes!

Although he didn't understand what An Miaoyi was plotting and how she was playing the victim in front of him, Pei Zhixiu could only play along with her. Although he had known about the palace's affairs for a long time, he still pretended to be in deep thought and didn't care about the palace's situation. It seemed like he had just found out about Cao Ma's affairs today.

In addition, Pei Zhixiu also pretended to have a deep sisterly relationship with An Miaoyi and comforted An Miaoyi, saying that she, as the queen, was too kind and too easy to trust others, which led to lawless people like Madam Cao taking advantage of the opportunity!

When saying these words, Pei Zhixiu felt that what she said was guilty and she felt guilty about it, but what she didn't expect was that An Miaoyi not only didn't blush, but she even enjoyed her words very much!

This made Pei Zhixiu wonder if her sister, the queen, had problems with her self-perception. Did she really think she was kind and simple?
If you, An Miaoyi, were kind and simple, would there still be bad women in this world?

After talking about these things, An Miaoyi ended the interview. Finally, when Pei Zhixiu stood up to see her off, she told Pei Zhixiu that she would plead with Ye Mingsheng so that Pei Zhixiu could end her confinement early...
Sitting on the chair at this time, Pei Zhixiu recalled what had just happened and every word of An Miaoyi. Her intuition told her that what An Miaoyi did seemed inexplicable and there was no reason at all, but An Miaoyi must have her own intentions in doing so!

But what is An Miaoyi's intention?
What is her purpose in coming to see me today?

Thinking about the answer to this question, Pei Zhixiu could feel that she was only a thin layer of window paper away from the truth, but unfortunately, she just couldn't figure out the connection!

Since she couldn't think of it, Pei Zhixiu simply gave up thinking about it. She still had to focus on writing her medical book. Because of An Miaoyi's arrival, she had already wasted some time. She had to complete today's progress as soon as possible!

Although it delayed some time, An Miaoyi's arrival also brought good news, that is, Pei Zhixiu can borrow medical books from the medical school. Although Pei Zhixiu has superb medical skills and rich experience in treating diseases, if he wants to write a medical book, he still inevitably needs some medical classics as reference materials!

If Pei Zhixiu had not been imprisoned before, then Pei Zhixiu would not have to worry about this matter at all. She could search for what she wanted in the library of the medical school. However, it was inconvenient for her to be imprisoned················

The purpose of her confinement was to let her reflect on her mistakes, so it was not easy for the medical school to borrow classics from her. Therefore, in the process of writing the medical book, Pei Zhixiu could only rely on herself, so the progress of the medical book was relatively slow!
But now that An Miaoyi has made the call, Pei Zhixiu can borrow books from the medical school. This is very good news for Pei Zhixiu. With the help of reference materials from the medical school, Pei Zhixiu's progress in creating medical books will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated!

Thinking of the female students in the medical school, Pei Zhixiu didn't want to waste any time and directly asked her subordinate Zhang Ma to borrow books!

Two hours later, Pei Zhixiu, who had completed today's writing task, ate a hurried meal and then coaxed her little daughter Ye Yiren to sleep. After coaxing her little daughter to sleep, Pei Zhixiu also felt a little tired.

At this time, Nanny Zhang also brought over seven books and reported to Pei Zhixiu:

"Most of the books you requested are there, except for the Pulse Classic, which was borrowed by Imperial Physician Huang Shen. When I went there, Imperial Physician Huang Shen was not at the Medical College because he was giving moxibustion to Your Majesty. The Medical College said that they will have Imperial Physician Huang Shen deliver the Pulse Classic tomorrow!"

Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Pei Zhixiu nodded slightly, and then began to flip through the medical books. Just as Aunt Zhang bowed and was about to leave, Pei Zhixiu suddenly had an idea, and seemed to have thought of something, so he asked Aunt Zhang:

"What did you say?"

Facing Pei Zhixiu's question, Aunt Zhang thought she had said something wrong at first, but thinking back on what she had just said, Aunt Zhang did not think there was anything wrong with what she said, and immediately said carefully:
"Your Majesty, I told you that Imperial Physician Huang Shen will bring the Pulse Classic here tomorrow..."

"last sentence!"

"I said, Imperial Physician Huang Shen was not at the Medical College at the time. He was giving moxibustion to His Majesty!"

"Is there anything wrong with your Majesty's health?"

Nanny Zhang hesitated when she heard that. For servants like them, discussing the emperor's health condition in secret was a taboo. If others knew about it, they would probably be accused of being a WY, which could lead to their death!
Pei Zhixiu saw this and knew what Aunt Zhang was worried about, so she asked directly, "Tell me what you are afraid of?"

Seeing Pei Zhixiu say this, Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment and said:
"I heard that His Majesty has been visiting several ladies in succession and his back pain has recurred. He has spent less time working in the Imperial Study these days. The day before yesterday, he didn't even go to the Imperial Study to work. He stayed at Concubine Murong's place for a day and asked Imperial Physician Huang Shen to do moxibustion and cupping!"

"Your Majesty, have you not been to the Queen's place these days?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhang did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before answering:

"Your Majesty seems to have not visited the Empress for half a month. During this period, Your Majesty visited Concubine Rou, Concubine Murong, and even Concubine Yu, but it seems that he really did not visit the Empress..."

After hearing this, Pei Zhixiu secretly said in his heart, As expected!
She said that An Miaoyi would not come to her for no reason. So that's it!
Although His Majesty did not ask Murong Qingwu to thoroughly investigate the treasury accounts for the sake of the overall situation, he gave face to An Miaoyi and let her check and correct herself to find the problem, but His Majesty did not really forgive An Miaoyi!

In a sense, the fact that His Majesty has not visited the Queen during this period is a punishment for An Miaoyi!
After all, in the harem, the power you hold is directly proportional to His Majesty’s favor. The more favored you are, the greater the power you hold!
Although Ye Mingsheng did not love An Miaoyi in the past, in order to maintain An Miaoyi's status as the queen in the harem, he would often go to An Miaoyi's place to rest every now and then!

And now, not having visited An Miaoyi for half a month has already shown Ye Mingsheng's dissatisfaction with the matter!

I guess An Miaoyi also wanted to wait for Ye Mingsheng to come so that she could personally explain the matter of Madam Cao to Ye Mingsheng and give Ye Mingsheng an explanation!
But now that Ye Mingsheng doesn't go looking for her, she can say that she is unable to use her strength!

With An Miaoyi's personality, since Ye Mingsheng didn't look for her, she would take the initiative to find Ye Mingsheng. But since she came to find her today, it proved that her idea of ​​taking the initiative failed, and Ye Mingsheng didn't want to see her!

So now An Miaoyi has no choice but to come to me and try to express to Ye Mingsheng through me her self-blame and regret over the internal treasury accounting issues!

As for those things she said, such as pleading with Ye Mingsheng so that she could end her confinement as soon as possible, it was not because she had a change of heart. She just wanted to please Ye Mingsheng in this way...

After figuring out all of An Miaoyi's intentions, Pei Zhixiu revealed a sneer!
Her sister, the Queen, had a good idea. She put all the problems on Madam Cao, and then released herself early to please His Majesty, trying to gain His Majesty's understanding on the issue of the treasury accounts in this way!
But she was too naive to think so, and she didn't understand His Majesty's character!

Although His Majesty gave face to An Miaoyi for the sake of the overall situation and did not let Murong Qingwu turn upside down all the good things she had done over the years, you are very wrong if you think there is still a possibility of getting away with it!
Putting all the blame on the scapegoat Cao Ma and portraying yourself as an ignorant person, do you think His Majesty will buy it?
Thinking of this, Pei Zhixiu felt that An Miaoyi was a little naive, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was a little suspicious. After all, you, An Miaoyi, have served His Majesty for so many years and slept with His Majesty many times. You should know that it is difficult to get away with it by doing this, right?
Do you, An Miaoyi, really think that if you plead for mercy on your own behalf, His Majesty will be magnanimous and let you go?
Realizing this, Pei Zhixiu felt that An Miaoyi might have further actions in order to clear herself, and her intuition told Pei Zhixiu that An Miaoyi's further actions might be related to her!
But what will An Miaoyi do?

·······························································
·······························································
While Pei Zhixiu was thinking, in the dim light of the imperial study, a man in gray was reporting to Ye Mingsheng:
"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, after Director Wang transferred Zhao Zibo to Yongliang, he issued an order to Luo Cong, a captain of the Yongliang Coordination Office, to kill Zhao Zibo. But for some reason, Zhao Zibo did not arrive in Yongliang!"

"Luo Cong also secretly sent a message to the Coordination Office headquarters about this matter, but did not receive the news of Zhao Zibo's arrival. However, according to our investigation, the Coordination Office headquarters did not receive the message sent by Luo Cong!"

After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng seemed to realize something and narrowed his eyes. He pondered for a moment and then spoke:
"Have you investigated Zhao Zibo's recent movements?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, the man in gray reported to Ye Mingsheng without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, we have investigated the situation in this regard, but we have not found any valuable information yet!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng ordered in a deep voice:
"You must continue investigating! You must get to the bottom of this matter!"

"Yes!"

"Does Wang Xuecheng have any secret account books or something like that like Huo San?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, the man in gray hesitated for a moment, but under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, he finally answered truthfully:
"Your Majesty, Director Wang should have something like this!"

Although he was not surprised by such an answer, Ye Mingsheng's eyes still flashed with a hint of coldness. At the same time, he also understood that since there was such a thing and the internal guards had not presented it yet, it could only mean one thing!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng asked calmly:

"How long will it take you to get the stuff?"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had seen through his little trick, the man in gray felt ashamed and immediately started to speak:
"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, Director Wang's secret account book should be in the hands of one of his mistresses. We are currently checking one by one. It may take some time, but we will definitely get it as soon as possible..."
