Xu Jialan seemed to have a certain belief that she was bound to win this matter. Even when Ouyang Li said this, she didn't feel like she was being poured cold water on.
"Everything is possible. How will you know if you don't try."
How will you know if you don't try.
This sentence really touched Ouyang Li's heart. He himself thought this was impossible, so he kept it in his heart. But now that Xu Jialan said this, she felt that it was really the case.
There's no harm in giving it a try, it won't be any worse than it is now.
"how do you want to do it?"
When Ouyang Li asked this question, Xu Jialan knew that he had made the right bet. Previously, he felt strange that he was kicked out by him because of his plot against Song Chen. Later, he ran into him talking to Song Chen on the street, even though Song Chen had a look on his face.
Although indifferent, Ouyang Li still had a cheerful expression on his face.
She didn't know what Ouyang Li's mentality was at that time, but she still found the reason.
This person covets the regent's princess, and I don't know what Cang Xiuxuan will think if he finds out.
"Of course we cooperate. I am responsible for Cang Xiuxuan, and you are responsible for Song Chen. As for what I want to do, you don't have to worry about it. Just continue to support my expenses, and wait for Song Chen to take advantage of it when he is sad and frustrated.
Just come in."
When she said this, it was as if she had already captured the person.
Although Ouyang Li didn't like the words "taking advantage of the opportunity" that much, he still had some expectations in his heart, so naturally he stopped sarcastic.
He readily accepted Xu Jialan's request, but it was just a matter of spending some money.
Anyway, Xu Jialan wouldn't be so stupid as to use his true identity to get close to Cang Xiuxuan. He would just provide the money and leave the others alone. No matter what, it wouldn't be a loss.
Even if he failed in the end, he would still be like this.
It's just that he forgot that once some desires are born, they will quickly take root and sprout, and eventually grow into towering trees.
And he can only be controlled by desire.
Can't control desires.
While they were discussing cooperation here, the people Song Chen sent out to investigate Xu Jialan also brought back news.
At this time, I was telling Song Chen.
"Princess, that person has not returned to any house. Now she is living in an inn. The shopkeeper said that she has been staying there for a while, and she always wears men's clothes. The shopkeeper still doesn't know that she is his daughter.
body."
"My servant followed the investigation and found out that she was related to Ouyang Li before. She seemed to be called Qiu Niang. But where she came from is unknown. All other things have been dealt with and there is no way to investigate.
, if you, Princess, want more accurate information, only the prince should take action."
Their abilities are limited after all.
Song Chen also understood this.
"Qiu Niang? It's an interesting name. It sounds like it has a story." Song Chen didn't care about anything else, but he was interested in the name.
Anyway, her first reaction when hearing this name was that this person should be carrying hatred. Thinking of her previous attitudes towards herself, Song Chen was thinking, "Could it be that I have some grudge against her? Or is it that kind of deep grudge?"
?”
Otherwise, this cannot be explained at all.
Looking back and thinking about it, except for Yu Lanzhu, who was no longer alive, and the cousin who had a family before, she really couldn't think of anyone else in Beijing who had such deep hatred for her.
Moreover, she had also met the cousin before, and she was not the woman disguised as a man that she saw that day.
Song Chen herself didn't know, and the two girls who had only been serving her for a short time naturally didn't know either.
"Princess, why don't you ask Miss Ping to come and ask?"
A maid suggested asking Wen Ping to come over. Song Chen thought about it and thought it was more feasible, "Let someone invite me. I feel uncomfortable if I don't understand this matter."
Although I feel that there is nothing to be afraid of, I still dare not take it lightly, especially since they are about to leave Shangjing temporarily. Someone who has a relationship with Ouyang Li and may have a grudge against her may take advantage of it.
They made trouble when they left Shangjing.
Wen Ping arrived quickly. The maid told Wen Ping what happened before, and then Song Chen spoke.
"Please help me think about it carefully. Am I still having trouble with anyone? I always feel like that person is here for me."
Song Chen likes to take the initiative in everything he does and never likes to be passive.
On the way here, Wen Ping didn't ask Song Chen why he was looking for her. Now after hearing this, he couldn't remember who else Song Chen had such a feud with.
"Since we came to the capital, we really haven't had any trouble with anyone like this, unless it's because of the Beauty Hall... But it's not like we have any deep hatred." Wen Ping felt that this matter might not be that simple.
"Is it possible that they are not from Shangjing?" They had been to many places during the severe drought, and their methods were very tough during that time. Perhaps someone had a grudge against them at that time.
However, her idea was quickly rejected, "The slave who was with the princess that day sounded like she had an authentic Shangjing accent."
The difference between the accent in Shangjing and other places is quite obvious, and you can hear it almost immediately. This is also the reason why others could hear Song Chen's accent was different before, and the authentic accent in Shangjing cannot be imitated.
, if you are not a native of Shangjing, there is still a difference.
As soon as the maid's promise came out, Wen Ping was really confused.
"That's strange. These are the people here in the capital. Most of the people in that circle are not stupid and will not cause trouble for themselves. After all, you have a distinguished status now. If you really care about it, it will be difficult for their entire family.
Yes, let alone you who took action at that time, even their own family took action, which was enough to make them regret it, it’s so puzzling.”
Wen Ping really couldn't think of it, but Song Chen was inspired by her words.
This is indeed the case. The circle of powerful people in the capital is so large. They cherish their status very much. Under normal circumstances, they will not seek death like this, unless...
"What if the family has declined?" Song Chen suddenly had this thought in his mind, "If the family has declined, or even the family's decline has something to do with me, then all this makes sense."
These words almost woke up everyone present. According to their understanding of these people in Shangjing, this is really the case.
A down-and-out young lady without a family must be miserable.
In addition, if her current situation is really related to the princess, then all her hostility towards the princess can be explained.
"Princess, Xu family!!!"
Wen Ping suddenly remembered the Xu family that had been ransacked before. It was an unparalleled family when Emperor Daxing was in power, but later the prince found evidence and ransacked the house because he had an idea for the princess.
"When the Xu family was ransacked, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Jialan, was not arrested."
When Wen Ping said this, Song Chen really remembered that there had been such an incident before. The Xu family wanted to continue their glory, so they wanted to send their daughter to Cang Xiuxuan. They thought that she Song Chen
It was the stumbling block for them to do all this, so they decided to target her.
She still remembered that Xu Jialan was not arrested, and Cang Xiuxuan sent people to look for her. However, there was no news later, and leaving her alone would not make a big difference, so she stopped looking for people. Now it has appeared again.
Yet?
The more Song Chen thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case.
"Get the car ready, I want to go to the palace."
It was still early, and Cang Xiuxuan didn't come back for lunch. If she had to wait until evening to talk about this matter, Song Chen really couldn't wait. She had to figure this out first.
Otherwise, she would not feel at ease going to Beiguan.
Asking Ping Ziranzhidao why she came to the palace now, she asked the maid to find someone to prepare the car.
"I will accompany you to the palace."
Song Chen did not refuse.
The carriage went all the way from the Regent's Palace to the palace gate, because carriages were not allowed in the palace. Although Song Chen was the most noble woman in Da Rong, he would not make an exception in this matter.
After entering the palace, she changed into a sedan. In fact, Song Chen really didn't like the feeling of being carried in a sedan, but sitting in the sedan like this was better than galloping around the palace by herself.
When they finally arrived at Cang Xiuxuan's discussion hall, the ministers were slowly leaving.
When they saw Song Chen appearing here, their expressions were quite strange. After all, many of them were old-fashioned. Although they accepted Song Chen as the regent princess, it was obvious that it was inappropriate to see her appear outside the meeting hall like this.
.
But he didn't dare to say one more word.
And he also had to salute gracefully.
"See the princess, the princess is a thousand years old."
In the palace, all ceremonies are performed.
Song Chen had no choice but to act like a princess and call everyone to stand up.
The movement outside also alarmed Cang Xiuxuan who was inside, and he walked out of the hall without any delay.
When he saw Song Chen, he was both surprised and worried. After all, according to his understanding of her, she would not be in such a hurry to come to the palace to find him if there was no big deal.
Step forward and put his arms around Song Chen's shoulders, "Go in first."
Cang Xiuxuan didn't even look at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground. They could only watch the regent and the princess walk into the palace where they were still discussing matters.
You must know that women are absolutely not allowed to enter there.
Now, they were left to watch the prince and the princess walk in in a swaggering manner. If they had any backbone, they should have rushed forward and resolutely opposed it, but none of them dared.
I could only leave sadly after seeing the palace door closed.
The expressions on their faces made Wen Ping feel extremely happy. She still remembered the faces of these people when the princess lived in the palace, and now it makes her really happy to see them with such expressions of not daring to speak!
