Su Yizhao was a little unsure of the other party's intentions, wondering if the other party had discovered his identity?
"I'm a little tired, please forgive me, Your Highness!" Su Yizhao deliberately pinched his throat and said.
"Is it shameful to wear a hat in the house?" the fourth prince sneered.
"Your Highness the Fourth, this is the inner courtyard. Even if you are the brother of His Highness the Fifth, you should not overstep the rules."
Su Yizhao was really surprised as to why the other party appeared here. Where is the fifth prince? Why didn't he come over?
In this way, your fourth brother puts on ten cuckolds for you, and you don’t even know it!
"Su Yizhao, why do you need to pretend to be stupid anymore?" the fourth prince said suddenly.
Su Yizhao's heart suddenly sank. Sure enough, he had guessed her. This person was really shrewd.
In this case, there is no need to dress up.
"Now that His Highness the Fourth Highness has understood the identity of this official, he will no longer hide it. To be honest, this time he went to Yueju to investigate the case, so he had no choice but to disguise himself as a woman. Please refrain from the previous rudeness.
Blame.”
"Investigating a case? What case to investigate? If my highness remembers correctly, you are an official of the Hanlin Academy. What does the investigation have to do with you?" the fourth prince asked suspiciously.
Su Yizhao sighed. This matter was said to be a secret, but in fact many people knew about it.
Zong Zeming and the fifth prince all knew that no matter how innocent the fourth prince pretended to be, she was sure that he could not know anything about it and must know something inside.
"This is a secret matter. Please forgive me, Your Highness. If I am still here, I will no longer accompany you." Su Yizhao said, urging the servants who were at a loss to continue leading the way.
The fourth prince smiled enigmatically and then stepped out of the way.
Su Yizhao was very surprised, so easy to talk to?
Su Yizhao no longer cared about anything else and strode forward. Unexpectedly, when she passed the fourth prince, a strong force from beside her suddenly lifted the curtain hat she was wearing.
She was startled and turned her head to look over.
It can be said that Zong Zeming has a cold personality, with coldness coming from his bones.
The fourth prince was indifferent. His coldness was because his mood was too stable and his eyes were too calm.
It seemed that he had no desires and desires, but Su Yizhao knew that such a person's thoughts were too hidden, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
It has to be said that these princes in this dynasty are all people who are good at maneuvering.
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?" Su Yizhao was very unhappy.
"She does look like a woman. I was deceived by you just now."
As the fourth prince said this, he put the curtain hat on Su Yizhao's head again, and then he strode towards the outer courtyard.
Su Yizhao angrily adjusted his curtain and hat, cursing in his heart that it was too insidious.
It was already very late when she returned home, even past curfew.
If she didn't have a tooth tag, she would have been caught by an officer on night watch. Even so, if she wandered out after curfew, it would still be recorded on the file.
As soon as the carriage returned to the mansion, Mother Li from the main courtyard over there came over.
"The second entrance has been locked, but if you don't come back, my wife can't feel at ease. I ordered my slave to wait in the outer courtyard. When you come back, I will send her a message."
Su Yizhao quickly apologized, "I'm tired and worried about my mother, so I delayed some things today."
She had never returned home after curfew. Although she had told her to come back later before going out, her family would still be worried.
After sending away Mother Li, the old man sent Su Huai to ask questions.
"The old lady has been thinking about you for not coming back so late."
Su Yizhao sent Su Huai away again, washed up and returned to the study.
Su Huai returned to the outer study room to reply, while Su Jinxun was sitting in front of the desk in his cloak, reading the files.
He felt that Su Yizhao's words made sense. There was something wrong with the Ministry of Rites. He had not rectified it before because the relationships in it were complicated and those people were deeply entrenched in it, which he could not easily remove.
Xiaoqi said that the opportunity had come, but she didn't say it explicitly. She only said to check herself and be prepared.
If he could pull out those prickly vines this time, it would be of great benefit to him in controlling the Ministry of Rites.
As for what the opportunity is, he can guess some based on recent rumors.
"Master! The seventh young master has returned home."
Su Jinxun nodded, "Don't restrain him when he goes out of the house during this period, and there is no need to report to the house."
Su Huai was a little surprised, but still agreed.
"You can get him some money tomorrow and restrain the fourth child."
Su Jinxun is now sure that Su Yizhao must be planning something, and perhaps this matter is related to the previous rumors.
Thinking back to the emperor's attitude, he became even more sure.
After Su Yizhao returned to the study, he first visited Xiangsi.
During this period of time, the lovesickness has turned to lethargy again, and the sleepiness of spring and autumn are vividly reflected in it.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and after calculation, she was shocked to realize that Xiangsi had been with her for seven years.
If it were a mouse, I'm afraid it would have burped long ago. But Xiangsi is still fine and seems to be quite flexible.
Su Yizhao touched Xiangsi's back, feeling suddenly afraid that Xiangsi would leave her.
After feeling sad for a while, Su Yizhao took a book from the bookshelf.
Turning the book to the end and looking at the totems drawn in the book, Su Yizhao thought about it carefully.
There was another noise at the window sill. Su Yizhao turned around to see who it was if it wasn't Zong Zeming.
As soon as Zong Zeming entered the study, he took a look at Su Yizhao.
He has resumed his men's clothing and looks a little tired.
Thinking of Su Yizhao staying with the fifth prince during the day, he snorted coldly and lay down on the Arhat couch.
Su Yizhao was a little surprised, what's going on?
"You don't trust me!" Zong Zeming said in a low voice before Su Yizhao asked.
"What do you mean? You know a lot about me, right?" Su Yizhao looked at the book in his hand and said without raising his head.
"Then why did you go to Yueju with the fifth prince today? I clearly said before that I would help you find out the news. When you went, I had already found out Chu Huan's whereabouts, otherwise I wouldn't have appeared there."
Zong Zeming felt as if thousands of ants were eating his heart, he felt very uncomfortable.
After finally reaching the time agreed upon with Su Yizhao, he couldn't wait to come.
Su Yizhao sighed, "After all, this matter is a secret. Now that I have found out the information, how can I sit still? Besides, I can't rely on you for everything. I still have to investigate the case myself."
Zong Zeming sneered, "So you said it was a secret, but it turned out that the fifth prince knew about it. The fifth prince is very ambitious, and you actually worked closely with him. Aren't you afraid that he would expose you?"
Su Yizhao suddenly became angry when he saw Zong Zeming's bad attitude.
"When I went to find Chu Huan to log off, I was blocked by the fifth prince. I didn't know why he was there, but not only did he know about it, he also offered to help. How could I refuse?"
Putting down the book in his hand, "How did I know that you were the owner of Yueju? Don't you know that posts about the Yueju Auction are rare? Naturally, I could only ask him to take me in."
Zong Zeming's expression softened a lot after hearing this. Seeing that Su Yizhao was angry, he couldn't help but said aggrievedly: "I'm just worried about you. The fifth prince is good at using people. If you are discovered by him, he will definitely take advantage of you."
