Chapter 491 Murong Xu Chentian Goodbye
When the queen heard that it was the second prince again, she immediately became anxious, "Where did Xiao Muzi work as an errand before?"
"It's the imperial dining room." Eunuch Zhou sighed, sighing in his heart. When he found out the news, he was quite broken. He was afraid that the empress would be angry and chop off his old bones.
"Do the Imperial Kitchen Room and the Huanyi Department interact on a daily basis?" the emperor asked loudly.
Eunuch Zhou knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, when it comes to exchanges, the only exchanges are meals for the palace maids and eunuchs. But... I asked, and the meals for each department are sent to the small kitchen next to the imperial dining room. Yes, Chuntao, as a steward, doesn’t care about this, but Xiaomuzi is the eunuch in charge of handling chores in the imperial kitchen and has nothing to do with Huanyi Si.”
The queen did not give up and continued to ask: "What about before? Are Chuntao and Xiaomuzi related in any way, or old friends or something like that?"
Eunuch Zhou shook his head regretfully, "This is what I guessed before. The Ministry of Punishments checked all the details about the two of them. Chuntao has been serving Li's concubine since she was a child. She has no relatives or friends. Moreover, Chuntao is from the south, Xiaomuzi is from the north, and Feng Ma Cows are irrelevant.”
The emperor was extremely angry and laughed, "Two people who have nothing to do with each other, gender, age, errands, have nothing to do with each other, but they have frequent exchanges. It seems that there are many dirty things in this palace that I don't know about!"

Eunuch Zhou replied in fear: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has sent people to the Huanyi Division to capture Chuntao. I think we will soon know the connection between them."
"The Minister of Justice has arrived!"
Everyone looked outside the hall and saw the Minister of Punishment appearing alone.
The emperor was instantly angry, "Where is Chuntao?"
The Minister of Punishment immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I only found out that Chuntao was seriously ill when I found Huanyi Division. She was unconscious and just hanging on for a breath."
"Trash." The emperor was already on the verge of rage.
The Minister of Punishment hurriedly said: "But I arrested all the cronies around Chuntao for questioning. I learned that Chuntao had sneaked out to meet people several times a while ago, and the time was all right. Twenty taels of silver were also found at Xiaomuzi's side. , it is most likely that Chuntao bribed Xiaomuzi to poison the gold silk cake, and the target was Shen Congrong. Miss Zhao accidentally hit it and became Shen Congrong's scapegoat. "
"Your Majesty." The Queen was about to cry. Even though the truth was right in front of her, she still couldn't accept it. "Is this really related to the second child?"
The emperor stretched out his hand to stop the queen from speculating, and told everyone to step back with a sullen face, secretly making a plan in his heart.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the New Year’s Eve palace banquet.
Early in the morning, Murong Chen and Shen Tian got up to wash up and make arrangements.
Shen Tian looked at the two children who were suddenly dressed up, and the smile on her lips never fell. "My little darlings, why are you so cute? I met the great-grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother soon. I want to call them People, do you know?”
Murong Chen didn't know where he got the exquisite red satchels for the two children. He dressed them in the same way, and he was good at coaxing, "Say nice things to people when you meet them, and put good things in your pockets when you get them. Do you understand?"
The three-year-old Murong You nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said with a milky voice: "I want to receive many, many gifts! Fill this bag up."
Shen Tian, who was stroking her eyebrows, looked back and was happy, "Oh! This bag is not small! You will be very busy tonight!"
The little guy was in high spirits, and Shen Tian didn't dampen his enthusiasm.
After she finished cleaning up, she stood up and straightened Murong Chen's collar. The two of them were wearing the same color today, and they looked like a perfect match when they stood together.
Murong Chen looked down at the little woman in front of him with joy, and his heart felt warm, "Tiantian, it is enough to have you by my side in this life."
Shen Tian paused, her cheeks turned red, "Why did you suddenly say this so early in the morning!"
Murong Chen put his arms around her and sighed softly, "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy in my heart." Shen Tian's smile faltered, "Is it because of the incident at Jinlan Academy? Isn't there no news yet?"< br>
There was no such thing as Jinlan Academy in her previous life. She had no idea how things would develop. When Murong Chen said this, she was also a little uneasy.
Murong Chen took her into his arms, "Although there are many people in the court, there are also many who can do things, especially those in the Ministry of Justice. Those people are not just people who earn their salaries and live in leisure. It has been so long, things should be going well." As it progresses, the quieter it gets, the worse it feels.”
Shen Tian was convinced, and the couple hugged each other tightly, silent.
After entering the palace.
The two originally wanted to go directly to pay their respects to the Queen, but the Queen was busy with the palace banquet today and had no time to spare, so they had no choice but to take their children to the Queen Mother's side.
As soon as the family of four entered the palace, they found the eldest princess of Huai'an, several princes and princesses, and Princess Qingfeng all arriving.
Murong Chen quickly brought his wife and children to greet everyone.
The Queen Mother's attention was completely attracted by her two great-grandsons, and she waved impatiently, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Great-grandmother's baby! I haven't seen her for several days!"
Shen Tian and the wet nurse hurried forward with the child in their arms.

"Royal Grandma, they are here well prepared today, you have to hold your purse tightly."
Shen Tianyi has something to say.
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the two big red cloth pockets, and she smiled, "Did you wear them for them?"
"No way! It's His Highness. Your Highness prepared it for them in advance." Shen Tian betrayed Murong Chen without any courtesy.
The Queen Mother pointed at Murong Chen and laughed, "You are a narrow-minded person! What's the matter? The royal grandmother didn't give you enough, and you asked these two to ask for it? You are so capable!"
Having said that, the Queen Mother still asked Aunt Gui to fetch the box she had prepared in advance, grabbed a handful of golden beans from it and put them into the small cloth pockets of the two children, eager to fill them up.
Shen Tian hurriedly stopped her, "Royal Grandmother, you can give them one or two and they will be happy, but you can't really ruin your fortune. It just so happens that I have some gadgets for you to make up for."
The maid immediately fetched a small box.
Shen Tian opened it in front of everyone, revealing the full and colorful pearls inside.
"Hey! These are all good things! Why don't you keep them yourself? You can also buy yourself some beautiful jewelry! I would say your head is too plain!" The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Tian's head. Very naturally, he took the ruby gold walking stick from his head and inserted it into Shen Tian's hair.
Everyone saw the two of them acting so naturally, and most of them took it for granted. Only the second prince, Murong Xu, was filled with astonishment and jealousy.
He had not had the chance to see Shen Tian since he returned to the imperial capital. This was the first time they met after many years.
Shen Tian was still as quiet, elegant and soft as he remembered, but the difference was that now she had lost the immaturity of a girl and had more charm of a young woman, and her every move was full of charm.
A deep feeling of unwillingness suddenly hit my heart.
The Queen Mother noticed something strange about Murong Xu with her sharp eyes, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, she patted Shen Tian's arm, and then looked at Zhao Wanyi.
