Mo Jingzhan slowly took a petal from her head, curled his lips and said: "The wind outside is too strong, and the petals are flying everywhere. Why is Your Highness so nervous?"
Li Huang looked embarrassed when she was asked. She coughed again guiltily and pretended to be calm: "How dare you, who allowed you to be so close to me?"
"Oh?" Mo Jingzhan stepped back, pretending not to understand and asked: "Then why is His Highness blushing? Could it be that His Highness thought that I was going to..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Li Huang: "Shut up! I thought you were going to do something wrong. Now, I want to read a book. Get out!"
"Well, Your Highness wants to read a book."
"Ning Qi!"
"I'll go out right now."
Mo Jingzhan stopped when he saw it, turned around and went out with a smile on his face.
It has to be said that Mo Jingzhan was very capable and efficient. He stole the letter that night.
Li Huang carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it, and a sneer suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It was just like what I saw in my dream, even the charges of frame-up were exact.
She threw the fabricated secret letter into the brazier, then stuffed the letter she had prepared earlier into the envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Mo Jingzhan again.
"Be careful and don't let anyone discover you."
Mo Jingzhan took the letter and looked up at her: "Your Highness the Princess doesn't want to know who put this secret letter on the Prince's desk?"
Li Huang was stunned for a moment: "Is this letter just on the desk?"
Mo Jingzhan nodded: "Your Highness thought that a letter like this would be hidden more secretly. It would take some effort to find it in order to prove the importance of this letter."
"However, this person seemed to be afraid that others would not discover it, so he kept this letter under the official documents on the desk."
"Your Highness, I would like to take a guess, who is this person?"
Li Huang's eyes darkened. The only people who could enter Li Yuze's study were just a few people who served him personally.
This person is well aware of Li Yuze's acting style.
When he went to Yizhou this time, he could not only reach Yizhou quickly, but also ensure the safety of food and supplies along the way. He could only go through Jinzhou.
According to the behavior of the people behind the scenes, if they can't succeed in Jinzhou, they must have arranged a back-up in Yizhou.
If Li Yuze fails in his affairs, he will definitely return to Beijing to plead guilty, which is equivalent to throwing himself into a trap.
That fabricated secret letter was the final move prepared for Li Yuze.
This person knew Li Yuze's temperament well.
"Is this person still in the East Palace now?" Li Huang asked.
Mo Jingzhan nodded. He originally planned to try his luck, but unexpectedly he happened to see someone sneaking into Li Yuze's study.
"The only person who can understand His Royal Highness so well is the chamberlain who has served him since childhood."
Li Huang laughed mockingly.
The capable guard Li Yuze must have been taken away. The only ones left to guard him in the East Palace were Xiao Linzi who took care of his food and daily life.
I really didn’t expect that it would be difficult to guard against domestic thieves even if you guard against them day and night!
"If Your Highness the Princess is willing, I can just kill him for you." Mo Jingzhan played with the letter, "Why bother?"
It's just a slave who died. Which mansion doesn't have people dead?
Li Huang smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will keep him alive for a few more days to see how he plans to betray his master."
Mo Jingzhan stuffed the letter into his arms and jumped out.
None of the guards in the East Palace noticed that he had been going back and forth in the East Palace several times.
In addition to looking for the secret letter for Li Huang, he also wanted to know if there was the thing he was looking for in the East Palace.
Unfortunately, he searched everywhere but couldn't find it.
It seems that he is overthinking.
While Li Yuze was delivering supplies to Yizhou in a hurry, the goods that Li Yuxiao had lost before appeared one after another in the capital.
Li Yuxiao was fined half a year's salary and suffered from physical pain for several days. Hearing that Li Chuchu had a hard time learning the rules in the palace, he decided to go out and buy her some good food to make her happy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to a cloth shop, he saw several pieces of familiar cloth.
The fat proprietress stood in front of the counter and yelled: "This is a good piece of brocade. The patterns on it are all the latest in Jiangnan. These are the only ones available. Those who are fast can have them, and those who are slow can't. Don't miss it if you come in."
.”
Li Yuxiao stepped forward, snatched the piece of fabric from a certain lady's hand, and stared at the landlady fiercely: "Where did this fabric come from?"
Seeing that he was wearing extravagant clothes, the fat landlady was afraid of offending some dignitaries, so she could only explain with a smile: "A relative of the villain bought this at a high price elsewhere. Where did he buy it? I don't know where he bought it."
I don’t know, the villain just thought this fabric was good, so he let him sell it in the store."
Li Yuxiao clung to the piece of cloth tightly, but a lady was so bold that she stepped forward and snatched it from him, saying with dissatisfaction.
"Master, everything should come first, first served, right? Even if you like this piece of cloth, you can't snatch it from someone else, right?"
"I fell in love with this piece of cloth first, let it go!"
Li Yuxiao was extremely angry and shouted at the guard boy outside the door: "Come here, blast these people out. If we can't find the source today, I won't leave!"
When the store owner heard that he called himself the King, he knew that he had offended Jin Tong, and he immediately panicked.
A group of escort boys rushed in, and the customers in the store instantly dispersed.
Li Yuxiao put one foot on the stool and tucked the cloth under her arm. The golden accessories all over her body could blind the fat landlady.
"My lord, my lord, the shop is doing business as it should, and I really didn't provoke you in any way."
She knelt down immediately. Although she didn't know which prince the other party was, she knew he was someone not easy to mess with just by looking at his posture.
Li Yuxiao pointed to the pieces of cloth and said word by word: "Call that relative of yours. I have something to ask him."
The fat landlady didn't dare to fight, so she could only ask the store clerk to find someone.
Not long after, a thin man came to the store.
As soon as he opened the door, he felt that the atmosphere was not good. He turned around and wanted to leave, but the guard grabbed him by the collar.
Li Yuxiao pointed to the pieces of cloth and asked: "Where did these pieces of cloth come from? If you don't tell me, I will have to send you to the official position, because these pieces of cloth happened to be lost by me before returning to the capital."
fabric!"
When the man heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down with a bang: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I bought this on the black market. I only spent fifty taels of silver in total. If I can get a good price, I'll take it."
Come to the store and sell it."
"Black market? Where is it?" He had never heard of a black market in the capital for so many years.
The man swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "It's just behind the old street in the west of the city. It's only open on the first and fifteenth nights of every month. It's not open on weekdays. If the prince wants to go, I'm afraid he will have to go there again."
Wait a few days."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Li Yuxiao raised her hand and asked the guards to let him go.
"I lost a lot of treasures before I returned to the capital, and I'm feeling very angry. You'd better not lie to me!"
After saying that, he carried the pieces of cloth and walked away in a big way.
When the man saw fifty taels of silver being taken away for nothing, he didn't dare to let go. The shop owner even gave him a severe beating and told him not to take anything to sell in her shop again.
As soon as Li Yuxiao returned to the house, he heard a report from his servants that the same batch of goods was found in the jade shop on South Street, and he immediately rushed over.
As a result, in one day, he looted seven or eight shops, causing complaints in the capital.
The news quickly spread to the palace.
The old emperor was so angry that his brain ached.
Li Chuchu personally gave the one hundred thousand taels he had collected from selling jewelry to Gu Chenzhou.
Gu Chenzhou held the banknote with a face full of emotion: "Chu Chu, don't worry, as long as you survive this disaster, I will definitely pay you back twice as much."
Li Chuchu looked considerate: "Brother Shen Zhou, as long as it's your matter, Chu Chu will do my best."
As she spoke, she looked shy.
Gu Chenzhou's cold heart suddenly stirred up again. He held her shoulders and said, "I know you are a good girl. I misunderstood you about what happened before. I'm sorry."
Li Chuchu shook his head: "Chu Chu didn't blame you. You should take the banknote back quickly, otherwise, the old lady may be angry."
Gu Chenzhou nodded and got on the carriage.
It wasn't until the carriage disappeared into the alley that Li Chuchu reluctantly got on the carriage.
After that, she went to the palace with Gu Ningshuang to learn the rules.
After she left the palace, she found that everything outside had changed.
Especially, when he wanted to go to Lin'an Prince's Palace to find Li Yuxiao, he found that the concierge of the Prince's Palace refused to open the door for her.
