"Is there such a place in Kyoto?" Jiang Qian frowned and looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi nodded: "My subordinates only learned about Lanyuan in the past few days."
"I must report this to my father immediately!" Jiang Qian said.
"Your Highness, wait!" Li Qi quickly stopped him.
Jiang Qian looked at Li Qi with a puzzled look: "What?"
"There is something I don't know whether I should say..." Li Qi said with a troubled face.
Jiang Qian said: "It doesn't matter if you say so!"
Li Qi pretended to hesitate and said: "This Lanyuan is indeed a cancer in Kyoto, but there is someone else behind it..."
"who?"
"Princess……"
Jiang Qian was stunned: "Princess?"
Li Qi nodded and did not hide anything, telling everything he knew.
After listening to this, Jiang Qian said: "You mean, the real owner behind Lanyuan is the princess?"
"good."
Jiang Qian felt embarrassed for a moment. He put his hands behind his back and walked around for a moment and said, "It's actually her?"
Li Qi knew that Jiang Qian and the princess were not siblings from the same father and mother. The princess was born to the queen, so the princess and the third prince were the real sisters.
"It is precisely because the princess is involved behind the scenes that I dare not act rashly on this matter." Li Qi said.
Jiang Qian nodded: "If the princess is involved at this time, it will indeed be difficult..."
After a while, Jiang Qian said: "This matter is not trivial. I have to go and ask my mother for instructions first."
Hearing this, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
The purpose of Li Qi telling Jiang Qian what happened was to ask him to ask Concubine Dou about the situation there.
After all, Concubine Dou asked me to investigate at this time, and now I have some clues. It would obviously not be very wise for me to go to Concubine Dou to report the situation.
After all, this involves some royal matters. As the saying goes, a family scandal should not be made public. Who knows what kind of medicine Concubine Dou sells in her gourd.
If she wants to save the royal family's face, it will be difficult for her to be a good person if she is caught in the middle.
It would be different to tell the prince about this and ask him to ask.
After all, the relationship between him and the prince is still good. Even if Concubine Dou Guifei estimates that the royal family has a good reputation, she will pass the information to herself through the prince when the time comes.
"Li Shidu, please wait for me in the East Palace. I will go find the Queen Mother now."
Jiang Qian then called the eunuch Zhao Fu over and ordered him to prepare a sedan chair and go to the imperial concubine's palace.
As soon as Jiang Qian left, Li Qi sat in the study for a while and felt a little bored. When he was about to go outside for a walk, a figure appeared in front of him.
Lu Jinshuang was expressionless, staring at him with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Qi was startled, his heart in his throat: Grandma, what is this woman going to do?
"Wei Chen, I have met the Crown Princess..." Li Qi forced out a smile and bowed.
Lu Jinshuang glanced at the palace maid behind him: "You guys go down first, I have something to talk to Li Shidu."
"yes."
After the palace maid went down, Lu Jinshuang slowly walked into the study, waved her hand, and the study door slammed shut.
The air suddenly became a little tense, and Li Qi held the shadowless needle on his waist in his hand.
Damn it, this woman doesn’t want to kill her to silence her, right?
After all, we can be regarded as being a couple for one night. As the saying goes, one night for a couple means a hundred nights of kindness...
After a while, Lu Jinshuang didn't speak. Li Qi became even more panicked. He glanced at her and saw her big, watery eyes, as if he wanted to eat him.
"Well...Miss Lu...actually there is some misunderstanding between us..." Li Qi said.
Lu Jinshuang said nothing.
"That night..."
Before Li Qi finished speaking, he felt something cold on his neck. When he looked closely, a sharp dagger was already pressed against his throat!
Li Qi was shocked, what did this woman want to do?
"Miss Lu, you...don't mess around, this is the prince's study...if you kill me, then..."
Lu Jinshuang said coldly: "Have you ever told anyone about what happened that night?"
Hearing this, Li Qi quickly raised his hands and swore: "No! Absolutely not! I swear!"
"Why were you wearing the prince's robe that day?"
"The prince asked me to wear it... He said he wanted me to enjoy being a prince..." Li Qi licked his dry lips and said.
There was a flash of confusion in Lu Jinshuang's eyes, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "If you dare to reveal even a single word about what happened that night, I will make sure that you die without any body parts!"
"Don't worry, Miss Lu, I will never tell anyone, even if you kill me, I won't tell..."
Damn it, who dares to say such a thing?
If someone finds out that this young master has put a hat on the prince, will I still be alive?
"I came to see you today mainly because of the sacred objects." Lu Jinshuang said, took back the dagger and handed Li Qi a key and a note: "All the money you want is here."
Li Qi took it and took a look, only to see an address written on the note.
"Can you talk about the sacred objects now?" Lu Jinshuang said coldly.
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's natural to say so, but not now..."
Lu Jinshuang frowned.
Li Qi hurriedly continued: "You have to wait until I confirm the amount of silver..."
"Okay, then I will give you three days. If you dare to play any tricks after three days, don't blame me for being rude!" Lu Jinshuang said sternly.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Miss Lu, please don't worry, I will never play tricks. I always keep my word..."
As soon as Lu Jinshuang left, the prince returned to the East Palace not long after.
After he came back, he said nothing. He looked at what Li Qi wanted to say and held back.
"Your Highness..." Li Qi shouted.
Jiang Qian sighed and said: "Li Shidu, I have already told my mother about Lanyuan...she wants you to continue investigating."
"Continue the investigation? Investigate the princess?" Li Qi was stunned.
Jiang Qian nodded: "Yes, but this time you have to grasp all the evidence related to the princess and Lanyuan."
Jiang Qian paused and said, "This time the third prince will return to the capital soon. The queen mother wants to find a breakthrough from the princess, which can be regarded as a big gift for the third prince to return to the capital."
At this point Jiang Qian sighed: "I didn't expect that we would reach this point in the end..."
Li Qi could tell that Jiang Qian didn't want to be an enemy of the third prince, but in this situation, once the third prince returns to Beijing, will he talk about brotherhood with you?
Li Qi thought it was impossible. It seemed that the young prince was still too immature.
"Since it is the noble concubine's wish, then my subordinates know what to do, but..."
Li Qi paused and said: "It's just that my subordinate has not been in Kyoto for a long time and is not very familiar with many things. I hope that His Highness will appoint someone to assist me."
"Who does Li Shidu want to assist you?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "It is very difficult to investigate this kind of thing. If it is an official person, the news will inevitably leak out...so my subordinates think that bad people are a good choice."
Jiang Qian nodded slightly: "Okay, then I will issue a secret order to let bad people assist you."
