Shen Wangchi didn't want to believe it.

The man named Li Shu was a good friend who studied with Shen Wangchi. After completing their studies, the two often kept in touch.

But later, Shen Wangchi learned business and tried to take charge of the family business and give his mother and sister a better life.

However, Li Shu obtained fame but did nothing, and was eventually demoted. He opened a bookstore and sold books to support his family.

"Yue'er, Brother Li Shu and I are brothers and sisters. There is no way he would do anything to harm me." Shen Wangchi defended his friend.

"Brother, do you believe him so much? But if it weren't for him, who else could get your itinerary?"

Shen Wangchi went over the matter again, and finally found that it seemed that only Li Shu had the time and opportunity to tell Aunt Liu about his itinerary.

"Is it really Brother Li Shu?" Shen Wangchi hesitated.

"Brother, if you don't believe it, won't you try it and the truth will come out?" Shen Xinyue already had a plan in mind.

Shen Wangchi is full of doubts, give it a try? What ideas are there in Shen Xinyue's little head?

"Yue'er, how do you want to test this?" Shen Wangchi didn't know why.

Shen Xinyue smiled mysteriously and did not tell Shen Wangchi about her plan.

"Brother, keep it a secret for now. You can rest here and recover, and I will send someone to take care of you. As for Li Shu...brother, just wait for my news."

"Okay." Shen Wangchi was dubious, but thinking that what Shen Xinyue, the younger sister, guessed, was just for his brother, he still agreed.

Shen Xinyue left Shen Wangchi's room, leaving only two maids and two boys here to take care of his food and daily life.

Shen Xinyue did not dare to waste time and quickly came to the study room in Huo Wei Building.

But Huo Weilou was not in the study.

"Huh? It's strange, why isn't Weilou in the study?" Normally, Huo Weilou would stay in the study. Today, she had something urgent to do with Huo Weilou, but he was not in the study.

Shen Xinyue went to their bedroom again, but still didn't see Huo Weilou.

"Si Qi, do you know where the dangerous building is?" Shen Xinyue turned to ask Si Qi.

Si Qi didn't know either, she was just a maid, how could she know her master's whereabouts?

"Princess, the prince's whereabouts are uncertain, and my servants will definitely not know."

Shen Xinyue had no choice but to stay in the garden and pace back and forth. This garden was the closest to the gate of the palace. If Huo Wei Tower entered or left the palace, she would definitely be able to see it immediately...z.br

Shen Xinyue turned her eyes and came to the wall, which was not too high. If she could climb up, she would definitely be able to see much more than in the garden.

Shen Xinyue asked Si Qi to bring a stool, and with the help of the stool and Si Qi, she climbed directly onto the wall.

"What are Yue'er doing?" Huo Weilou's voice suddenly came from outside the palace.

Shen Xinyue followed the sound and looked over, but because her center of gravity was unstable, she fell straight down.

Si Qi's heart twitched when he saw it: "Princess!"

It's over, it's over, if Huo Weilou finds out about this, she will be skinned even if she doesn't die! Even if there are ten of her, she is not worthy of being buried with a princess!

Huo Weilou didn't expect that he just wanted to make a joke, but Shen Xinyue fell directly.

Fortunately he is right under the wall.

Huo Weilou jumped up in succession, caught Shen Xinyue in mid-air, lifted her up, and finally landed lightly on the ground.

Shen Xinyue was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and buried her head into Huo Weilou's solid chest.

"Yue'er, be careful. Your injury hasn't healed yet. Why are you afraid of the wall?" The corners of Huo Weilou's mouth that were still slightly raised have now been suppressed.

His expression was stern and he looked displeased.

Si Qi trotted over at this moment. When he saw Huo Weilou catching Shen Xinyue and making her uninjured, his heartbeat almost skipped a beat.

One good news and one bad news.

Good news, Shen Xinyue was not injured or had any accident.

Bad news, Huo Weilou discovered it.

"King Wang

Your Majesty..." Si Qi was so frightened that he stuttered.

"What's going on?" Huo Weilou put Shen Xinyue down gently, but his serious and questioning tone and movements had nothing to do with it.

Si Qi glanced at Shen Xinyue and felt a little guilty.

Shen Xinyue naturally couldn't let Si Qilai take the blame, so she confessed to Huo Weilou: "I was looking for you, but I never expected to find you, so I thought that I could see further on the wall. If you came out When I return home, I will know as soon as possible."

Huo Weilou didn't expect that Shen Xinyue was looking for him and was angry, but suddenly he felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Go back to the study first." Huo Weilou sighed.

If Shen Xinyue had been a child, I'm afraid he wouldn't have walked back to the study calmly now, but would have gone back holding her ear.

In the study room, Si Qi closed the door and stood guard at the door.

Huo Weilou spread out the document, glanced at it casually, and after writing annotations, he raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Xinyue told Huo Weilou exactly what she had just discussed with Shen Wangchi. However, she did not express her own judgment. Shen Xinyue wanted to see what Huo Weilou had to say about this matter. Determine whether it will be consistent.

"If this is the case...according to my guess, the person who tipped off the information should be Li Shu."

Huo Weilou's judgment was consistent with Shen Xinyue's, and even their reasoning processes were exactly the same.

The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"I knew that Danger House's thoughts were the same as mine."

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows. Hearing what Shen Xinyue meant, he must have a plan?

Huo Weilou couldn't help but chuckle, Shen Xinyue might have had a bad idea again: "Yue'er, do you have a plan?"

Shen Xinyue nodded proudly, whispered her plan to Huo Weilou in a low voice.

"There are only you and me in the study, so there's no need to be so careful."

Shen Xinyue shrugged sheepishly: "Isn't that how we talk to each other when discussing bad things?"

"I will ask someone to do this. Maybe it will be effective tomorrow."

There were emotions flowing in Huo Weilou's eyes, but Shen Xinyue didn't notice Huo Weilou's little thoughts.

After this was done, the two of them took a rest.

A dreamless night.

Shen Xinyue woke up early the next morning. After washing, she changed her clothes and went out with Si Qi.

The market was very lively and crowded. Early in the morning, many people came out to sell and shout, and there were also many maids and mothers from the families of powerful people waiting outside to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

Although the families of those powerful people have dedicated people to deliver fruits and vegetables, some young ladies prefer those bought in the market.

Shen Xinyue's purpose of coming to the market was naturally not to buy anything. She wanted to see what the people knew about the merchants being robbed yesterday.

When passing by a steamed bun shop, Shen Xinyue heard two men in simple cloth talking about this matter.

"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, a merchant came to the capital to do business and was kidnapped by robbers outside the city!"

"What? There are robbers outside the capital? What can I do? My son will go to Jiangnan with his boss tomorrow to purchase goods. What should I do if something happens?"

When the other man heard this, he immediately panicked. He was worried about his son's safety. If something happened to his son, what would he and the woman at home do?

"Don't worry, don't forget, we have a regent in the capital! As long as the regent is here, all the robbers will be killed!" When the man mentioned the name of the regent, he patted his chest proudly.

"You are right, the regent will protect us."

The man felt a lot more at ease.

After listening to this conversation, Shen Xinyue fell into deep thought.

It seems that in the eyes of the people, the regent is a being who protects them. With the regent around, they seem to have no worries about safety.

only……

Shen Xinyue was slightly worried.

Huo Weilou has such a high prestige among the people, what about the emperor?

That day in the imperial garden, the emperor appeared to be kind and gentle, but in fact, what was he thinking in his heart?

No one who becomes emperor will let a regent have more prestige than himself.

Shen Xinyue felt that the emperor would definitely have some means waiting for Huo Weilou.

"Si Qi, buy some steamed buns and soy milk, let's sit here and eat." Shen Xinyue ordered softly. After thinking about it, she added, "Buy some for those two too."

Shen Xinyue saw that they didn't eat much, and their clothes were all patched. They must be living in poverty. Since she was here to inquire about information, it was okay to let them eat well.

"Yes, sister." Si Qi would call Shen Xinyue her sister when he was out.

Shen Xinyue deliberately dressed modestly because she did not want to reveal her identity as the regent princess.

Sitting at the table next to the two men, Shen Xinyue turned sideways and asked: "Brothers, I just heard you two talking about the merchants who were robbed yesterday. I also heard about it. I didn't know who was robbed. What’s that merchant’s name?”

Just as Shen Xinyue was asking, Si Qi came over with something.
