Baiyue was stunned, but Huang Zicheng on the other end pursed his lips and suppressed his gloating smile.
Baiyue scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Neither of my subordinates... nor."
"Next month is the day of my wedding. There are a lot of things going on inside and outside. Butler Huo may not be able to handle it all by himself. You happen to have nothing to do recently, so why don't you help him."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Baiyue opened his mouth slightly, almost thinking that he heard wrongly, "Wang... Your Majesty, you... you said you would ask your subordinates to help decorate the palace?"
Isn’t the prince unwilling to marry the daughter of the Xie family?
Even after what happened in Dengzhou, he accepted the fact that Xie Songhua was going to marry in.
Can……
But this doesn’t mean that the prince will really take this marriage seriously!
"Baiyue," Xiao Yu slowly walked to the desk and sat down, looking seriously at this subordinate who had grown up with him, "Since the king has agreed to this marriage, Miss Xie is definitely the one to marry."
princess.
Regardless of whether you agree with her in your heart or not, in the future she and I will be one and the same, inseparable. You are mine. If you despise her, how will people outside see her? If she doesn't get the respect she deserves,
Doesn’t this king’s face look good again?”
"Your Majesty, this subordinate is not... This subordinate is..." Baiyue was a little confused by what Xiao Yu said, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain his thoughts.
Obviously this marriage was suppressed by Emperor Yufeng, so his prince had to agree, didn't he?
Marrying a woman out of nowhere is very inconvenient for the prince and the rest of them. Logically speaking, everyone should not like it, right?
Especially the prince should be disgusted.
It's just that he has a straightforward temperament, so he behaves more obviously.
With this thought in his mind, he subconsciously looked at Huang Zicheng over there, only to see Fang Zheng standing there with his whole body relaxed, like a passerby watching the fun.
Baiyue looked at Butler Huo over there. Good guy, he was already discussing the dishes for the evening ceremony in a low voice with the housekeeper.
He finally turned to his prince, and met his serious eyes.
Baiyue was a little confused, but he could see that what the prince just said was true.
"Yes, subordinate... I don't dare."
"Well!" Xiao Yu seemed to be waiting for his words. He waved his hand and said, "The guards in the mansion are all yours. Go and give the orders. When the princess comes in, if anyone dares to be disrespectful, the family will serve you.
.”
"yes!"
Seeing him retreating as if doubting his life, Butler Huo and Huang Zicheng looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
"What's the matter?"
Huang Zicheng reported the situation of all parties to Xiao Yu one by one, and then wrote down the arrangements and dispatches of the other party.
After all the previous ones were dealt with, he slowly took out the last letter, his eyes a little playful and expectant, "The one in Qingshui Town is dead."
"What Qingshui..." Xiao Yu reached for the letter and took it, his tone was a little confused, but he suddenly realized in the middle of the sentence, "Dead?"
"Yes!" Huang Zicheng put away his joking attitude and reported seriously, "When the prince ordered his subordinates to investigate, the subordinates did not understand the prince's intention, so they just sent two people nearby to investigate. Later, the news said
Everything was normal, so my subordinates didn't pay too much attention to it.
Later, I accidentally found out that Han Jian had some connection with the princess. Then I remembered what happened in Qingshui Town. I specially sent a few more imperial guards from the capital a few days ago. Only then did I know that our people in Qingshui Town were being blamed.
Yes, the news my subordinates received is all false news."
Xiao Yu's expression immediately changed, "What about Jiang and his wife?"
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Things were complicated in the capital before. Your Majesty was surrounded by various forces, and his subordinates did not dare to alert others, so they sent forces from outside to investigate, just to avoid Han Jian's eyes.
Only then did they realize that the Jiang couple had already fallen into the hands of Han Jian, and that Han Jian had also been in contact with the princess. His subordinates speculated that Han Jian used this to coerce the princess into doing something in Dengzhou.
.”
I thought it was that thing, but it turned out to be Jiang and his wife.
Xiao Yu's face looked a little ugly. He carefully read the letter sent by Huang Zicheng and frowned tightly.
She agreed that day to send someone to visit Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.
He was afraid that his identity would be revealed and that too much intervention would cause chaos in the couple's life, so he arranged for an inconspicuous person to help secretly take care of them.
He didn't even know about this person, including Huang Zicheng and other people close to him.
Originally, I thought that I would just take care of such an honest country couple and it wouldn't take much thought, so I put this matter in the back of my mind.
What's more, when he comes back later, he can't ask too much about Xie Songhua's affairs.
Who knew something like this would happen.
He suddenly remembered that day when he heard that she went to the shop he had asked her to go to before.
She must have received the news at that time, and she was so helpless that she thought about going over there to see if she could find herself!
She was afraid that Han Jian would be like that, and she would be threatened by Han Jian later, but she would dare to change things to fool him.
Seeing the ugly expression on his prince's face, Huang Zicheng said: "Now the Jiang family and his wife have met with the princess, and the princess has also taken her away."
"Picked up? Where?"
Huang Zicheng informed softly, then thought for a moment and added: "Because it concerns the princess's biological parents, I don't dare to be careless. I have sent people to keep an eye on that place before, but I found that someone else is also keeping an eye on it."
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, but did not speak.
Huang Zicheng continued quickly: "Originally, my subordinates thought it was someone from Dongchang, but they found out that it was the Xie family. It was not like Mr. Xie Ge and Mrs. Xie sent them. After checking later, it seemed that the maid was...
The person in front of the second wife of the Xie family."
Thinking of the Qi family, Xiao Yu's face became a little unhappy, "Xie Maocai's wife is an unknown person. Send a few people over there to keep an eye on her. You might as well buy the house next to her and don't let the Xie family make trouble."
Huang Zicheng was actually not sure what kind of attitude his prince would have towards the future princess, but he was still better than Baiyue.
This time is also a bit of a test. If the prince is even concerned about the princess's adoptive parents, then it won't be long before the prospective princess will be a legitimate princess. That can't be careless.
While Huang Zicheng was thinking about how to arrange the manpower, he laughed at that fool in Baiyue in his heart. It was a waste that he had been with the prince for so many years and he couldn't even see through this. No wonder he was still an old bachelor in his late twenties.
Thinking of this, Huang Zicheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. Come on, he seemed to have forgotten that he was also a bachelor.
After Huang Zicheng left, Xiao Yu felt a little restless. For some reason, his eyes suddenly turned to the box containing Jifu that Butler Huo placed on the cabinet.
He thought for a while and then called Butler Huo in again.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Xiao Yu didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Butler Huo kept waiting there quietly, not feeling anxious at all.
After a while, he heard his prince ask, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the third girl of the Xie family. In the current situation, should I... send something to her so as not to be disrespectful?"
