Qixi wanted to get angry and scold her, but she could only coax her patiently: "I may not have made it clear. Your Highness asked me to investigate the relationship between Princess Zhan and Si Yiluo because there are rumors in the market that the two of them
The relationship between them is unusual, grinding the mirror, do you know what grinding the mirror means?"
The girl looked confused, and Qixi felt it was troublesome. The little maid in the back house was innocent and easy to deceive, but she was not easy to use, and it took him a lot of time and energy to train her.
"It's just..." Qixi suddenly found it difficult to speak, "It's just that the relationship between the two women is beyond the normal relationship between good friends."
Alian was still confused and asked: "Is it a confidant? A relationship that is better than friends is the legendary confidant..."
The girl's expression was so innocent that Qixi had no place to get angry, so she could only continue to explain.
"It's what women do between husband and wife...Do you understand now?" The girl half understood and half didn't understand. He couldn't elaborate further, so he only said, "These rumors will have a negative impact on King Zhan's reputation if they spread."
No, our master has a deep brotherly relationship with His Highness Prince Zhan, and these investigations are all for the good of Prince Zhan, do you understand?"
After teasing him enough, Alian nodded and said, "I understand."
"So I need you to carefully observe whether there is that kind of relationship between the two, and how good they are, and tell me the truth, so that His Highness can find a way to eliminate the rumors..."
"Qixi, His Highness is calling you!"
After explaining to her for a long time, before Qixi could say the love words she had prepared, Alian pushed him away considerately.
"Master Qixi, hurry up and get busy. I have to serve my master!"
"The little girl is so heartless..."
Although A-Lian is young, she looks cute and cute. Qixi wanted to pinch her cheeks, but Shen Mingshu came out of the study room, and the little girl hurriedly went up to meet her, causing his hand to miss.
That feeling is a bit strange.
"Princess Princess."
Shen Mingshu looked around the two of them, nodded, and left with Alian.
"Alian, do you like Qixi?" Shen Mingshu was finally relieved. Although she had Alian's categorical guarantee, she was not completely at ease with Alian. "If you like him, I will ask His Highness later when you are older."
If you are older, I will make the decision for you..."
"Your Highness!" When she heard that she was planning to marry Qixi, Alian was very panicked, but she pretended to be shy and swore, "My Highness, I want to serve you for the rest of my life, so I don't want to get married.
!”
Shen Mingshu smiled and said: "Qixi is the most useful person around His Highness. If you marry him, you can be by my side and win him over for me. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
The calculations in Shen Mingshu's heart were rattling.
"My dear princess, Master Qixi is so capable, why would he like this slave? If someone refuses, I'm fine with you. I'm just afraid of losing your face and making other people laugh..."
This is true... Shen Mingshu herself was not sure of Zhou Yu's attitude and did not dare to agree. If Qixi really looked down on Alian, her prestige as a princess in the palace would be gone.
After finally giving up her idea, Alian still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alian, I just saw you and Qixi being very close. You have to work hard. If you can get him, I will prepare a generous dowry for you and let you marry in glory!"
Not giving up yet... Alian obediently said yes this time.
The assassination of Zhou Rong is not a secret. This time Zhou Yu also felt worried and called Qixi to the study.
"What's your father's attitude?"
No matter who did it this time, the most important thing is Emperor Yao's attitude. He will judge whether Zhou Rong can still be his opponent based on Emperor Yao's attitude.
"Going back to the master, before going to court this morning, Wei Heyan personally went to Prince Rong's Mansion again. After going to court this morning, the Emperor gave permission for Concubine Xian and Lord Yu to visit the mansion."
"Master Yu came to the palace today to report the results of this evaluation to the emperor. If nothing goes wrong, the list should be posted in a few days."
Two things collided.
"Can Si Yiluo get some information?"
He was able to place people in the palace, but Si Yiluo's place was all monolithic. He couldn't place people in the yamen, and the people sent to the palace didn't work...
Qixi shook her head helplessly, lowering her eyes and saying nothing.
He has a few useful people in his hands, but he doesn't dare to reach out and check. If he moves here, Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan will be able to follow the clues and pour dirty water on his head...
"This matter cannot be rushed. Go and tell the princess. I will accompany her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow. I must listen to my father-in-law's opinion on this matter..."
The palace rewards were placed in the living room, and Zhou Fu stuffed a purse full of silver into the leading eunuch.
"Without His Highness's help this time, His Highness Prince Rong would be in danger. The Emperor said that you and His Highness Prince Rong are both sons of the Emperor. Brothers should help each other. When you feel better, you can also visit your brother.
Don’t worry.”
Zhou Zhan coughed for a long time, nodded and said: "I understand, thank my father for me."
"Slave, please retire."
Zhou Fu sent people out.
"What do you think the Emperor means, Your Highness?"
There is a deep meaning behind every action. The reward from the palace this time is particularly generous. It is definitely not just a simple reward for helping King Rong.
Zhou Zhan said meaningfully: "Father is preparing to build momentum for Prince Rong."
Si Yiluo had not yet found any evidence, yet Emperor Yao gave this reaction. It seemed that he suspected that Zhou Chen had done this, and while building momentum, he was also warning Zhou Chen to calm down.
"No matter who is trying to create momentum, there will always be people who can't sit still. This capital is finally going to be lively."
Shen Moran smiled heartily.
"Since the Emperor has sent people to give us oral instructions, we must abide by them."
Didn't Shen Mingshu want to ease the relationship with her? Such a good opportunity should not be used in vain! It just so happens that the momentum can be built even bigger!
"Bitao, take my post and make an appointment with Shen Mingshu."
Bi Tao went to Prince Yu's Mansion in person and learned that Prince Yu and his wife would return to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow and report back to Shen Moran.
"Your Highness, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow and join in the fun!" Shen Moran always had a wonderful expression on his face every time he tried to scheme with someone, "Bring your cousin with you."
Zhou Zhan knew that she had been holding it in for too long...
Si Yiluo did not return home after his shift was over. He walked around twice outside the Jingzhao Yamen, and the subordinates who were watching in the dark came forward to report.
"Sir, notices have been sent out. The reasons vary, but rewards are all offered. Many people came to identify the person today, but no one has claimed the body yet."
There is a reward but no one claims it. Even if they are jealous of the money, under normal circumstances, no one should come to claim it.
Si Yiluo hummed and warned: "Especially at night, you must not relax, in case someone comes to steal."
A straw shed was built on the side of the yamen, and the corpses were piled inside. Only one official was sent to keep an eye on the outside at night. It was still early, and the official had already eaten and started to yawn.
This is what they put their eyes on in the public eye. There are many people who stare at the hay shed privately.
There was a sneaky figure in the dark, and Si Yiluo left in a flash. There were many people who knew her in Shengjing City. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, she found a teahouse where she could see the thatched hut from the window.
