In this short period of time, Qin Zhao has locked the suspect on Xiangyuan.
Naturally, Xiangyuan didn't know that she had become the target of Qin Zhao's suspicion. She continued to play the role of Jie Yuhua and calmed Liu Ying's emotions.
With her comfort, Liuying's mood improved, and she was just glad that she had a good friend like Xiangyuan to support her.
"You should seize more opportunities to show your face in front of His Highness, otherwise you will never be Huang Ying's opponent." Xiangyuan pulled Liu Ying away and whispered suggestions to Liu Ying.
Liu Ying thought this made sense: "But His Highness always takes Huang Ying with him every time he goes out. What can I do?"
"So you have to fight, you have to rob, and you have to be more active. Like today, when a big shot like Miss Qin comes, you have to find a way to serve him and let His Highness and Miss Qin know that you are capable." Xiangyuan
Encouraged.
Liuying nodded frequently: "What you said makes sense."
"What are you waiting for? Come in quickly." Xiangyuan said, passing the tea she prepared into Liuying's hand: "You have to seize every opportunity to perform, go ahead."
Liu Ying was easily persuaded, and she was about to go in to serve him while carrying the teapot, when Qin Zhao came out of the room.
She didn't expect Qin Zhao to come out so soon. She forgot how to react for a moment. She watched the Princess Yongchun send Qin Zhao out, but she was still stuck in place.
"It seems that there is no chance for you to show off this time. Let's look for opportunities later." Xiangyuan said, and naturally took the teapot from Liu Ying's hand...
After Qin Zhao left Yongchunzhai this time, he ordered Xiao Linzi: "Keep an eye on Xiangyuan and see which palace she is usually close to, or who she has contact with. Remember, don't alert the snake."
"Who is Xiangyuan?" Xiao Linzi didn't respond for a moment.
Qin Zhao then remembered that she was the only one who heard the conversation between Liu Ying and Xiang Yuan, so naturally Xiao Linzi would not know who Xiang Yuan was.
"Xiangyuan is a palace official from Yongchunzhai. She is suspected of committing a major crime. Just keep an eye on Xiangyuan and see who she has close contacts with." Qin Zhao said seriously.
Xiao Linzi quickly agreed.
Qin Zhao walked a few steps away and thought of something else: "Baoping, did you smell anything strange when you passed Liu Ying just now?"
Baoping shook his head: "No."
"Really?" Qin Zhao recalled carefully. She remembered that Liu Ying had a teapot in her hand. If the teapot was given by Xiangyuan, would there be something wrong with the teapot?
If this is the case, she may have left early, otherwise someone else could have gotten away with it.
But there's no point in going back now. It's better to find out the details of Xiangyuan first and then come back and get it.
After Qin Zhao returned to Jinyang Palace, Xiao Linzi went to watch the activities in Xiangyuan.
Of course, this matter did not alarm Yangxin Palace, and Zhang Jixiang did not know about it. Xiao Linzi was determined to handle this matter well and did not dare to slack off at all.
Xiangyuan himself didn't know that every move he made was under Xiao Linzi's control.
In the first few days, Xiao Linzi's people didn't find anything, but Xiao Linzi was very patient. The girl asked him to keep an eye on Xiangyuan. There must be something wrong with Xiangyuan, so of course he had to be patient enough.
Qin Zhao saw that Xiao Linzi had not given her any news, but he was not in a hurry.
After waiting for a few more days, Xiao Linzi came to Qin Zhao and reported to her: "Xiangyuan went to Si Yisi two days in a row. I thought this might be a clue."
Moreover, Xiangyuan also visited Si Yisi five days ago. In other words, Xiangyuan had contact with Si Yisi for three days.
"Si Yisi?" Qin Zhao whispered silently.
The clothes of the emperor and the concubines in the harem are all in charge of Si Yisi. There are many people coming and going to Si Yisi every day. If Xiangyuan uses Si Yisi as a contact point, it can not only cover up the eyes and ears of others, but also try to contact her without anyone noticing.
of people coming and going.
This is really a convenient place.
"Girl?" Seeing that Qin Zhao didn't express anything, Xiao Linzi felt confused. Could it be that he was overthinking?
Qin Zhao came back to his senses and said to Xiao Linzi: "You did a good job this time. The next step is to ask Baoyu to go to Siyisi to find out the truth. But she is not attentive enough. I also want to find someone to accompany her. If
It would be nice if Si Yisi has an acquaintance, so that we can get some news."
"This... servant is half acquainted with me." Xiao Linzi didn't know whether to take it seriously or not.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Linzi: "What do you mean by half acquaintance?"
Xiao Linzi hesitated for a moment, feeling that he shouldn't talk too much.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao encouraged him: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it. It's a very important matter now. As long as you can be useful, I will reward you generously in the future."
When Xiao Linzi heard what Qin Zhao said, he no longer hesitated: "There is a commander in the Siyi Division named A'ko. I have dealt with A'ko before, or I can ask A'ko for information."
He thought Qin Zhao didn't know about Ako, so he ignored other information about Ako.
When Qin Zhao heard Ako's name, he knew why Xiao Linzi was hesitant.
"You and Baoyu go to Siyisi together, but you can't alert the enemy. So when you inquire about information from Ako, you can't let others know. Remember to be careful!" Qin Zhao solemnly confessed.
After that, Baoyu entered the house and when she heard Ako's name, she looked at Xiao Linzi.
Because it was related to Qin Zhao's pregnancy, although she didn't want to meet Ako, she also knew that the overall situation should be the top priority in everything.
When the two of them went to Si Yisi, Xiao Linzi said sincerely: "I have dealt with Ako and I think she is not bad. Furthermore, it was the Queen Mother who sent her to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and she herself did not
I don’t know the twists and turns involved.”
"Why are you speaking for her? Anyway, the fact that she looks like a girl makes me unhappy." Baoyu paused and then added: "Don't worry, I know that in everything I do, I put the overall situation first and will not harm the girl's good deeds.
"
Xiao Linzi felt relieved after hearing what she said: "Don't worry, I will go talk to Ako later, you don't need to come forward."
Baoyu thought this was good, so he had no objection.
In this way, the two of them entered Si Yisi.
When they entered the Clothing Department, they found that it was really busy. People were coming and going, and many palace servants or chamberlains from other palaces came here to get their master's clothes.
Si Yi knew Baoyu was coming and immediately stepped forward to greet him personally.
Baoyu's face was also full of smiles, and she chatted animatedly with Si Yi.
Xiao Linzi took the opportunity to go aside, and soon he saw Ako.
Speaking of which, A Kou was sent to the Si Yi Department by Zhang Jixiang. In addition, Zhang Jixiang gave special instructions to Si Yi not to embarrass A Kou. A Kou lived a happy life in the Si Yi Department.
When he was in the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Linzi also had dealings with Ako. Although his heart was towards Qin Zhao, it was undeniable that Ako was a simple and enthusiastic person.
Sometimes when he saw Ako being bullied by other palace servants as a newcomer, he would stand up even if he didn't like it. Because of this, he said that he and Ako were half acquaintances.
