The first thousand and ninety-two chapters are suspicious
Or is it related to Concubine Ye?
"My lord," Princess Qin looked at King Qin with bright eyes, "do you think it's inappropriate for me to be so helpless just now?"
King Qin was slightly startled: "The princess is talking about jumping on the carriage?"
Princess Qin blushed and nodded.
"That is the freedom of the princess. I have no objection." King Qin was not a rigid person. Seeing that Princess Qin asked seriously, he thought about it and expressed his thoughts.
Princess Qin thanked her happily, turned around and went to Ye Fuxun's carriage.
King Qin:......
"Concubine Ye," Princess Qin reported happily, "it turns out that the prince really doesn't mind."
Ye Fuxun responded with a smile: "The princess is straightforward and sincere, how could the prince not like her?"
Princess Qin secretly clenched her fists, inexplicably feeling a little more confident. From today on, she will change the way she attacks her husband!
Then he took Ye Fuxun and continued to ask for advice. The conversation lasted until the afternoon when they arrived at Wanping City.
"I happen to have a house in Wanping City," Ye Fuxun invited, "Why don't the princess and Prince Qin come and stay one night together?"
Princess Qin naturally did not respond. After entering the city gate, Xiao Yu hurried to the Ye Mansion to make arrangements.
Ye Fuxun, Princess Qin and others continued to walk slowly towards the city in the carriage. When they reached a street, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
The two of them lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw a woman who looked very depressed being kicked out by the pawnshop: "This shabby hairpin actually wants to pawn fifty taels? Do you think our pawnshop is for beggars? I'll give you two taels."
It’s too much!”
The woman held the hairpin in her hand and begged: "This hairpin is worth a hundred taels, but fifty taels is really not much..."
"Go, go! If you can find someone in the city to exchange fifty taels for your broken hairpin, I will chop off my head and use it as a stool for you to sit on!" The pawnshop owner was annoyed and kicked the woman away, "
If you make trouble again, I will send you to the government!"
Everyone looked at the woman. Ye Fuxun and King Qin almost saw a token falling out of the woman's arms during the collision, and their pupils shrank.
"Qiao'er, go and buy that woman's hairpin."
"He Peng, go and buy that woman's hairpin."
The woman's clothes were shabby, and there were scary-looking red spots on half of her face. Qiaoer quickly brought the woman into the Ye Mansion.
Princess Qin asked Ye Fuxun curiously on the way: "Why did you stop that woman?"
Ye Fuxun said to her directly: "She has a fish charm that only officials in the capital have."
The fish talisman is a talisman sent by the imperial court to officials, and it is generally not allowed to leave the body easily. But the woman actually has a fish talisman on her body, which is very suspicious, and it is also a dark purple fish talisman unique to officials in the capital.
So Ye Fuxun and King Qin both had the idea of stopping the woman and asking her.
The woman followed everyone to the Ye Mansion. Seeing that although Ye Fuxun and others were wearing casual clothes, their aura was inviolable, she muttered for a while that she wanted to exchange the hairpin for silver and left.
Princess Qin walked forward with a smile, picked up the hairpin in the woman's hand and looked at it carefully: "This thin hairpin is really worth a hundred taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up.
Princess Qin raised her hairpin with a smile but not a smile: "Although this gold hairpin is light, it is easy for people to look down on it just because of its weight.
But its preciousness lies in the carving skills. If I read it correctly, this hairpin should be made by the top carver of Ruixianglou, a century-old brand in Beijing. A hairpin of 100 taels is not expensive."
The woman looked shocked. She didn't expect that in such a place, there would be a lady who could tell the origin of the hairpin in her hand at a glance.
Princess Qin's lips curled up. As a noble lady in the capital, if she couldn't express her ugly taste for the products of these centuries-old shops, there would be many topics to talk about at the banquet.
It was nothing, but when she saw the admiration in Ye Fulun and King Qin's eyes, her heart suddenly felt as if there was a deer inside.
"This hairpin is not for sale anymore." The woman's expression suddenly changed, she clenched the hairpin and wanted to leave.
Princess Qin stretched out her hand to block her way: "We in Ye Mansion are not for you to come and leave whenever you want! You, a woman and a child, where did you get the hairpin? Could it be that you stole it? Robbed it?"
"No!" The woman quickly denied, "This is the slave's hairpin!"
"So, you are from the capital?" Ye Fuxun asked.
The woman shrank and said: "No, it's not..."
Princess Qin suddenly said coldly: "Since you are not from the capital, how can you get this hairpin? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame us for sending you to the government!"
The woman was immediately frightened by Princess Qin's aura and became nervous. She knelt down and said, "This is given to me by my master. I really didn't steal it from you."
"Who is your master?" Ye Fuxun narrowed his eyes and made a guess in his heart.
"My master, my master..." The woman unconsciously held the fish charm in her arms, "Yes, yes..."
Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows and winked at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu cleverly stepped forward to restrain the woman and took out the fish charm from her arms.
Ye Fuxun glanced at the fish talisman and handed it to King Qin. King Qin looked through the fish talisman carefully and his pupils suddenly shrank: "Supervisory censor Lu Daoyuan."
Supervisory censor Lu Daoyuan! Ye Fuxun's eyes narrowed. Ji Yannuo told her that the official who went to the East China Sea to investigate private iron mining and was assassinated was named Lu Daoyuan.
"Who are you, Mr. Lu?" King Qin was in the court, so he naturally knew more information than Ye Fuxun.
The woman did not answer King Qin's words. She fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes. King Qin had to ask someone to take her down first.
"Who is Mr. Lu?" Princess Qin followed Ye Fulun into the room to rest and asked in a low voice.
Ye Fuxun didn't hide anything, but she didn't know much. After hearing this, Princess Qin's expression became serious.
Assassinating a court official is a serious crime. The woman's suspicious behavior and possession of Mr. Lu's fish charm must be related to this.
"We will interrogate him carefully when he wakes up." Princess Qin said, "As long as the prince is here, he will handle it properly. We don't have to worry."
Ye Fuxun nodded. Although King Qin was accompanying Princess Qin to visit relatives in Mindong City, he naturally did not dare to ignore such a big event.
He led people to interrogate the woman in person, and finally came to a preliminary conclusion at night.
"That woman is from Zhending City. Zhending City is about two days' journey from here." King Qin told the information he learned, "Master Lu fell in love with the woman when he passed by Zhending City on his way back to the capital. He wanted to take her with him.
I went back to the capital to be a concubine, but something happened when I left Zhending City."
"The thieves came to assassinate Mr. Lu and killed them all. The woman escaped because she was pinned down by the carriage."
"After the thief left, the woman crawled out to look for Master Lu. At that time, Master Lu was only alive. He gave the fish charm and a secret letter to the woman, and told her to take her back to the capital and die."
