Chapter 257 Trouble
Hua Xiaoqiao knew that she really couldn't escape, so she went all out, knowing that she couldn't escape, she simply asked: "I just want to ask you some questions, if you know, you can know everything Tell me please?"

The father-in-law nodded and still didn't raise his head to look at her, but she asked reluctantly, "I want to know where the water for the flowers in the palace comes from?"

"Miss Hui's watering of the flowers is all brought up from the lake in the imperial garden, because the water in the lake in the imperial garden is flowing. The palace needs a lot of water to water the flowers, and the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are all pumped there."

Hua Xiaoqiao frowned when she heard her father-in-law's words. At first, she thought that someone had tampered with the water, but if the water was lifted from the lake in the Imperial Garden, then there would be no such problem. After all, she had never heard of dead fish in the lake in the Imperial Garden. , the poison in the water will definitely have an impact on aquatic organisms in the water, but I have never heard of it now, which means it cannot be what she suspects, which means that there are not many problems with the water.

Prime Minister Pang obviously thought of such a possibility, so he was a little puzzled after hearing Hua Xiaoqiao's question: "Is all the water taken from lakes? Is there any well water or other things? Have you picked up water elsewhere for a while?"

The father-in-law shook his head and replied seriously, "No, Prime Minister. Recently, because there has been no rain and drought for a long time, many wells in the palace are already in short supply for the daily needs of the masters. Naturally, it is impossible to get water to water the flowers."

The prime minister also knows that the drought has been severe recently, so the palace is saving water. In the past, I heard that the well water in the imperial garden was not allowed to be used indiscriminately.

He frowned and said, "What is the well water in the imperial garden used for now?"

The father-in-law said in a low voice: "Recently, due to the shortage of water in the palace, the well in the imperial garden has become a spare well. The well in the imperial garden is far away from the yards of the masters, so there is such a consideration. The well cover has been closed. Because no one should fetch water."

Hua Xiaoqiao was still skeptical about the water. After all, the most rotten part of the flower starts from the top. She asked worriedly: "You water the flowers from the top to the bottom, right?"

"Yes, miss, we can't water the pots from the root because they have already bloomed, so we always water from the top. If miss suspects that there is a problem with the water, I will dare to say that it is impossible." The father-in-law said with certainty.

The prime minister became curious: "Why did you say that?"

The father-in-law explained: "Because Eunuch Hai has been supervising the flowers and plants recently, the emperor has been in a bad mood for more than a month, because he was worried that other things would affect the emperor's mood, so everything was done carefully when the servants served him. Very attentively, Eunuch Hai is personally guarding the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, because the emperor likes to go to the imperial garden most recently, Eunuch Hai has always been strict in doing things, and such things will definitely not be allowed to happen."

"Who is Eunuch Hai?" She looked at the prime minister and asked.

The prime minister smiled and took a sip of tea before explaining to Hua Xiaoqiao: "Eunuch Hai is the celebrity around the emperor, so he is naturally not the only one. There is also Eunuch Hui who is more popular with the emperor."

Hua Xiaoqiao is used to watching court dramas. Although she doesn't know if what she encounters will be the same as the one before her, the scene of the two father-in-laws fighting openly and secretly to get the emperor's favor still appears in her mind. When she thinks of this, her mood starts to become complicated up.

She frowned and said to the father-in-law in front of her, "There's nothing else going on here, you can go out."

The prime minister also gestured to the maids in the room, and all the maids in the room went out, leaving only him and Hua Xiaoqiao in the room.

"Xiao Qiao, do you have something to say to me?" The Prime Minister felt that Hua Xiaoqiao seemed to have something to say.

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't deny it either, and went straight to the point: "Although the prime minister just said that the water is fine, we didn't go to see it in person after all. Some things can't be easily judged without investigation." After pinching several leaves from the pot, he walked up to Prime Minister Pang and handed some leaves to Prime Minister Pang: "Prime Minister, take a good look at these leaves. Is there anything strange about it?"

Prime Minister Pang took it and looked carefully: "Some places are really different. Hey, why is only the tip of this leaf withered and the back here..." The prime minister suddenly seemed to understand something and his eyes lit up. Suddenly excited: "I know, Xiao Qiao, I understand what you mean."

Hua Xiaoqiao drew the corners of her mouth and smiled, looking at Prime Minister Pang with satisfaction: "This leaf is the lower one that I pinched just now. I think it's because the water from the top fell on it and it became like this. Since the Imperial Garden If there is no problem with the water in the middle lake, then there must be a problem with the water in the sealed well.”

She didn't know why she was so sure. In short, she felt that there was something wrong with the well water. After all, it was not a small area that died this time. When watering the flowers, many father-in-laws and court ladies were together. Hands and feet should be impossible, and the only thing left is well water.

The prime minister also felt that Hua Xiaoqiao's worry was true, and agreed with him thoughtfully: "What Xiao Qiao said is very reasonable, this matter must be investigated carefully, and I will investigate it myself."

"When the water in the father's well is pumped up, let two small fish go in." She didn't want unnecessary casualties.

The prime minister wanted to leave in a hurry and things had a new turn for the better. Hua Xiaoqiao didn't stop there but prayed when she left: "If the matter is investigated and it is clear that it has nothing to do with the few flower garden owners outside, I hope the prime minister can let me know." They go home early." She looked at the prime minister with pleading eyes.

"Don't worry, they haven't been treated poorly here. It's just that the emperor has intervened in this matter, so I have to react in this way. They are now offering delicious food and drink. I will let them go after the investigation is clear."

Leaving the prime minister's mansion was always a little uneasy, she simply went back home, Huang Lingxi was still in the store and hadn't come back, Ban Xia heard the concierge come to inform that Hua Xiaoqiao was back, so she hurried to Hua Xiaoqiao Joe's yard.

Hua Xiaoqiao was not in a good mood. After all, the matter of the shopkeeper Zhu had not been resolved. She felt that she had entered a trap. This kind of trap was not set for her, but a cage she set for herself. I felt a little sad and didn't know how to face the next thing.

She watched Banxia enter the room but did not see Banxia smiling like in the past, she intuitively told her that Banxia was not in a good mood today, so she looked at Banxia worriedly and said, "What's wrong with you today? It seems that you are a little preoccupied, has something happened to you?"

Banxia sat next to Hua Xiaoqiao and forced a smile: "Where have you been today? I went to the store to find you Huang Lingxi and said you were not here."

Hua Xiaoqiao clearly knew the answer from Banxia's eyes, Huang Lingxi probably told her where she was going, sighed and didn't know why Banxia asked such a question but answered: "I went to the Prime Minister's place today, Pang Peng came to me and said that his father had encountered a difficult problem, so he came here and wanted to ask me to help. I also wanted to go to the prime minister for the shopkeeper, so I went, but Banxia, ​​I felt that I really had trouble this time. .”

But she thinks that anything that gets into the palace is not a good thing. She vaguely feels that this is a big conspiracy, and she doesn't know how to explain this feeling. She feels like she has entered a dead end. Little by little, it made her feel uneasy.

Banxia seldom saw Hua Xiaoqiao look so restless, and when he touched Hua Xiaoqiao's worried eyes, he was a little worried: "What's the matter with Xiao Qiao, tell me, if I can help you, I will definitely help you."

How could he bear to see Hua Xiaoqiao so sad, so he wanted to solve Hua Xiaoqiao's problems.

Hua Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and hesitated whether to tell Ban Xia.

Ban Xia understood this kind of hesitation, and he said seriously: "If you don't tell me, I will find the answer myself. You know I can easily find the answer, so I will go to the prime minister."

Hua Xiaoqiao panicked when she heard that, she knew that Banxia said this because she was worried about her, but it seemed a little bit to go to the prime minister for such a small matter: "I tell you, don't go to the prime minister."

She told Ban Xia a little bit about what happened, and Ban Xia kept frowning and worrying: "I know a little bit about the two father-in-laws you mentioned, don't worry too much that Prime Minister Pang won't betray you, and after two more The father-in-law just has a lot of power in the palace, but not necessarily outside, so you don't have to worry too much, besides, you still have me and my master to help."

He doesn't care about this matter, even if the two father-in-laws have great power and cover the sky with their hands, they are only like this in the palace. The two father-in-laws are nothing outside, so he doesn't take it seriously.

Hua Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and felt much better: "Thank you for comforting me, I won't cause trouble for myself in the future, otherwise you would always clean up the mess for me."

Now she felt more and more that if it wasn't for the miracle doctor Ye and Banxia who had been protecting her, she might not have been able to solve what happened to Ms. Han last time.

Banxia's eyes were gentle and said softly: "Don't say that, it is my honor to help you deal with things, so you don't have to put too much pressure on it, and don't worry about this matter. The most important thing is that the Prime Minister can solve it by himself, don't underestimate Prime Minister Pang's vigorous and resolute actions, maybe the emperor also feels that something is wrong this time, or else he wouldn't let Prime Minister Pang intervene in these trivial matters."

This is his guess. Now is the most critical time. There are too many things in the palace and the border. Many times, looking at a little bit of small things, they are actually interlocking. Xiao Qiao's worries were real.

He looked sideways at Hua Xiaoqiao and sighed worrying about this matter: "Little Qiao, listen to me and don't worry about these things now, do you feel uncomfortable in your body when you come back from the small town? Don't think too much about me. The other meaning is just to ask you."

Hua Xiaoqiao shook her head, but she didn't feel uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "I don't feel uncomfortable there, I feel good recently, brother, don't worry, I plan to grow flowers by myself..."

As soon as she made this request, Ban Xia directly refused: "Little Qiao, think about it carefully. I don't agree with you doing this. You must know that you are already making a lot of money. In fact, you should think about how to open a store. I am I think your current store should expand a little bit. Although the capital can’t do any flower business, there is someone who starts everything. I think this is an opportunity to make money. Although the flower garden outside has a lot of flowers and plants, let’s be honest. There are really not many kinds on the market, if you can sell some rare flowers and plants, it would be good in my opinion."

"Rare flowers and plants." She muttered, but what she thought of in her head was the flowers and plants in her own space. Because nothing happened recently, she didn't pay attention to everything in the space. Selling a flower caused trouble for herself, she frowned and said, "I have rare flowers, but I'm afraid of getting into trouble, and you know that the previous Chu Lingxuan was because I sold a flower... Sometimes I can’t afford to provoke rich people, especially those with a little bit of ability, by the way, do you know about the prince? I’m talking about the prince of a neighboring country.”

She will not forget that scourge, although she has never seen it once, has no good feelings at all.

First of all, it is because of Qin Mu that Chu Lingxuan is here. Obviously, Chu Lingxuan is a scourge. Those who help the evildoers can make good people. In short, she does not have any good feelings for the so-called prince now.

Ban Xia took a deep breath and then sighed: "To be honest, I hate that prince very much. How can I put it this way? Now he is still gaining momentum. You can rest assured that you are safe here. Nothing will happen and no one will be able to deal with it. How about you, you can do what you want to do with confidence and boldness, but planting flowers and plants is too hard, you see, the shopkeeper is so rich, why do you still have to work in the flower garden every day? Because many things must be done by yourself, I don’t I don’t want you to work so hard, Xiao Qiao, I know there are some words you don’t like to hear, but you are a girl, I still hope you can be more demure, I know you want to make money, in fact, as long as you want, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life.”

He has never said that as long as Hua Xiaoqiao is willing to accept, he can give Hua Xiaoqiao a lot of money. He just wants Hua Xiaoqiao to be happy.

It's just that he didn't dare to say such a thing, because he knew that Hua Xiaoqiao would not agree to such a request, and it was precisely because he knew that Hua Xiaoqiao would not agree that he didn't dare to raise it lightly.

Hua Xiaoqiao probably understands what Ban Xia means. After being with Doctor Ye and Ban Xia for so long, she knows that they are not short of money at all. Seeing that they have no income, they actually spend money on everything. , Where did the money come from?They definitely have their own way of making money.
