Not long after, the food was brought to Midnight and placed on the table one by one. Zhou Gu picked up the chopsticks. He stood aside and saw Zhou Gu eating the food silently. He whispered: "The eldest princess has sent people to ask three times. Madam came here in person, stood in the courtyard and looked at the grape arbor for a while, asked her subordinates to let the kitchen warm the food for you, and then left."
Zhou Gu said "hmm".
Midnight made no more noise.
Zhou Gu didn't eat much, so he put down his chopsticks and asked Ziye: "How is the investigation of the assassination of Princess Qingping going?"
Ziye said quickly: "Master Jingzhao Yinli, under the emperor's order, led people to search house to house. The people of Dali Temple are also very cooperative. Many mansions have been searched. If the culprits are not caught tomorrow, we, the Protector of the Country, will I'm afraid the government will come and search her too."
Zhou Gu nodded and ordered, "Take some people and go secretly to investigate. Since Su Rong came to the capital, any suspicious person who enters the capital during this period will not be spared."
Ziye blinked, "Sir, are you trying to get involved in this case?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I just want to know who wants to kill Su Rong."
"Kill Miss Qi?" Ziye was shocked.
"Just go ahead." Zhou Gu waved his hand.
Midnight opened her mouth, nodded, and turned around.
That night, due to the government's vigorous search for the assassin, every household in Beijing was shut down, and even the Red Mansion Restaurant was closed to cooperate with the government's thorough investigation.
In Princess Qingping's Mansion, Su Rong had a peaceful sleep. After breakfast, the housekeeper came to Zangjiao Pavilion and reported to Duan Hua, "Princess, the Shen Mansion's carriage has come to pick up Miss Seven, and it's Mr. Su himself. He came. He said that the city is currently searching for assassins and there is chaos, so the princess will not be invited to the Shen Mansion today."
Duanhua flattened his lips and said, "Okay."
She stood up and said to Su Rong, "I'll see you off."
"Yeah." Su Rong nodded.
Duan Hua ordered people to load all the supplies bought for Su Rong into the car. Su Rong was ashamed. When she entered the princess's house, she only carried a small package, so she came empty-handed. After staying here for so many days, When I left, my car was full of bags and bags.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Su Xingze was waiting there. When he saw Su Rong and Duan Hua coming out arm in arm, the housekeeper led someone to drive out a car. The car was full of things. He could no longer make any other expressions. .
The consort has gone to the Yamen. Princess Qingping learned that Su Rong was leaving and came out to see her off in person. She had dark circles in her eyes. It looked like she didn't sleep well last night. She managed to get up. She was a little weak in energy, but she was still kind. Su Rong straightened his hairpin and said, "Be careful. If something happens, send someone to the princess's house to inform me. You are not allowed to see anyone outside."
Su Rong nodded, "Don't worry, princess, I've written it down."
Princess Qingping looked at Su Xingze again, "The capital is very chaotic now. If nothing happens, you should go out less. What's more, with your talent, you only need to wait patiently for the results to be released, and you don't need to make too many friends."
Su Xingze cupped his hands and responded, "What the princess said is true, and Xingze will remember it."
Princess Qingping waved her hand, "Let's go!"
Duan Hua held Su Rong's hand and refused to let go, "I wonder if the birthday party for the little niece in Chengguo Duke's Mansion will be held. If it is, will you go?"
"go."
"If you go, I will go too." Duan Hua said immediately: "If nothing can be done, I will go find you when the thief is caught."
"become."
After the two agreed, Duan Hua finally let go and reluctantly let Su Rong go.
After Su Rong got on the carriage, Su Xingze also got on the carriage, and the Shen Mansion's carriage slowly left the Princess Mansion.
On the carriage, Su Xingze looked at Su Rong and laughed angrily, "You are really...how did you coax Princess Qingping and Princess Duanhua to stay? After staying here for so long, it's not like you left the capital. It's just that you're going to Shen's Mansion, and that's why they're so kind to you and say farewell to you."
Su Rong smiled and said, "I want to attract people."
Su Xingze smiled and shook his head, "Be prepared and go to Shen's Mansion. Uncle Shen will ask you something. You think about what to say." He stopped laughing and lowered his voice, "After Aunt Shen sees you, , I asked your mother, after the banquet at Prince Ruian's Palace, many older ladies have seen you, your appearance is too eye-catching, I am afraid that your identity will soon be hidden."
Su Rong nodded. Since she came to Beijing, she had no intention of hiding her identity.
There was a coachman from Shen's family in front of the carriage. It was difficult to talk in the carriage, so the brother and sister briefly talked for a few words and then stopped talking.
The carriage returned to Shen's Mansion smoothly. Su Xingze got off the carriage first and turned around to reach out to help Su Rong, only to see her jump out of the carriage from the other side.
He withdrew his hand numbly. Sure enough, all the etiquette and etiquette in Prince Ruian's Mansion were for people to see. Now no one is watching, and she is still the carefree monkey.
The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion had been waiting at the door. When he saw Su Xingze picking up someone, he quickly stepped forward to greet you with a smile, "Miss Qi, you are finally here. I didn't go to the Yamen today, so I specially waited for you at the house."
Su Rong was flattered, "Uncle Shen is so polite!"
The housekeeper looked at a Princess's carriage parked behind the Shen's carriage, which was filled with a load of things, and quickly asked: "This carriage is..."
"The princess and the princess bought me everything I needed while I was living in the princess's mansion. I can't refuse it." Su Rong sighed, "Can you please unload everything with everyone!"
The housekeeper responded quickly, "Your yard has been tidied up a long time ago. After the old slave unloaded these things, he sent someone to deliver them to your house."
Su Rong nodded.
The housekeeper asked someone to unload the car, and then walked inside with the two brothers and sisters.
"The master and his wife are waiting for you in the main courtyard. Since you are one of the family members, you don't need to go to the living room and go directly to the main courtyard." the butler explained.
Su Rong nodded.
The Shen Mansion is naturally different from the Princess Mansion in luxury, but it has a simple atmosphere everywhere. After crossing the second door and coming to the backyard, it is another difference. The backyard is more elegant than the front yard, with flowers and trees in the courtyard and bridges everywhere. Reveals comfort.
Su Rong thought to herself that Mrs. Shen must be a person who knows how to live a good life. She keeps the house in order and makes everything comfortable.
At the entrance of the main courtyard, there was a middle-aged couple standing. Mrs. Shen Su Rong had already seen them. The serious-looking middle-aged man beside them was naturally Shen Xian, the Minister of Personnel.
Although Su Xingze guessed that the two of them had doubts about Su Rong's identity, now that he saw that the two of them were not waiting in the house and went to the door of the courtyard, his suspicions about Su Rong were even more certain. He lowered his voice and said, "It's Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen."
Su Rong nodded, followed Su Xingze and walked a few steps quickly, came closer, smiled and greeted, "Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen."
Mrs. Shen also took a step forward, smiled and took her hand, "You child, there is no need to be polite. I heard Xingze say that when you are at home, you don't like to be restrained. When you come to Shen's house, you should be at home. That’s it.”
Su Rong smiled and said, "It turns out that my brother has sold me out a long time ago. Since Aunt Shen said so, I won't be polite."
"You're welcome." Mrs. Shen smiled.
There was a rare smile on Shen Xian's serious face, and he said with his hands behind his back: "Go in and talk."
The group of people entered the main courtyard.
Arriving at the painting hall, a few people took their seats. After the servants served melon and fruit refreshments, Mrs. Shen waved people off.
Shen Xian looked at Su Rong. He had also met Princess Zhenmin. Back then, Zhenmin saved the country and promised to marry the Wei Dynasty. All civil and military officials came to see the princess off outside the city gate, and he was one of them. He heard yesterday Madam said that Su Rong looked very much like Princess Zhenmin, and now that she saw her, it turned out that she looked very much like her.
Mrs. Shen also looked at Su Rong and asked her: "Did the assassination of the princess scare you yesterday? This thief is really arrogant. He is so brave in the clear sky."
Su Rong shook his head, "I'm also brave and I've never been scared."
Mrs. Shen said "ouch" and said, "You kid, that is an assassin. It is said that the cold arrow is very fast and sharp. If it is not opened, it will kill or injure you."
Shen Xian took the words, "This is a cold arrow aimed at her. Even if Princess Qingping and Princess Duanhua are frightened, she will not be frightened. If my guess is correct, I have never experienced this kind of thing." Thousand, there are eight hundred."
Mrs. Shen paused for a moment and looked at Shen Xian with no concealment of surprise and surprise. Obviously they didn't talk about this yesterday.
Su Rongxiao admitted frankly, "Uncle Shen is really powerful. No wonder you can become a high official. I have experienced this kind of thing since I was a child, and I really won't be scared."
Since he said so directly, she would not refuse to admit it, just like when Princess Qingping and the consort asked her.
