"Why don't you send someone to follow the three of them? The prince is most suspicious of Shui Lianyue. If Shui Lianyue has other intentions, do you want to harm the prince?"
All the way to Jinhua Residence, Mo Yun kept complaining, but Qing Niao didn't take it seriously. She just glanced at Mo Yun and said lightly: "If Shui Lianyue has different intentions, how can he not know that the prince has decided to do it?" Will someone be sent to monitor her? Besides, all the secret guards in the palace have been sent out, and even Tao Ranju has withdrawn half of them. At this time, do you want to arouse her suspicion?"
Mo Yun Nunu's lips were red, and she wanted to say something, but couldn't find any better words to refute, so she could only roll her eyes with green eyes and walk into Jinhua Curie.
Qing Niao looked at Mo Yun's back as he walked into the house, turned his eyes in the direction of Tao Ranju, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, I hope you can stay on your own terms and don't cause trouble at this time, otherwise, you will get me involved too. Went in.
At dusk, Hongying, Qiuye, and Dongxue returned to Tao Ranju together. In the main room, Qinglan and Qingyu served Shui Lianyue, squeezing her shoulders and beating her legs, and glanced at Qingyu's forbearing look. , Shui Lianyue curled up her lips. She has been studying with her master in Baihui Mountain for three years, and she has learned a lot about it. She also knows a lot about Chinese medicine. How can Qingyu fool her with this trick? [
It wasn't until her trick was exposed, Qinglan interceded for her, and Shui Lianyue scolded her that she stopped caring. Her purpose was to entangle Qinglan and Qingyu so that they could go and report the news. Although Tao Ran There was Nangong Yu's shadow constantly monitoring her surroundings, but she had never set foot in the yard. According to her observations over the past few days, in addition to knowing the hours of the shadow's shift, she also noticed some abnormalities.
With the sensitivity of her previous profession, after careful observation, she knew that the number of shadows in Tao Ranjuwai had decreased, which made her a little excited. With the departure of Hongying and others, those who were guarding the surroundings The shadow did not leave, which made her nervous heart relax.
Hongying and the others went back to the side room to tidy up before coming to the main room. Shui Lianyue did not rush to let Qinglan and Qingyu leave. Instead, she asked anxiously in front of them: "Mother, are you okay?" fine"?
Hongying saluted and said with a slight smile: "To return to the princess, the old lady is in good health, but she misses her daughter too much and has trouble sleeping and eating. Fortunately, the princess sent her slave back to her parents' home to visit her today. The old lady is very happy to know the princess's wishes. , and asked the slave to bring back the snacks made by the old lady."
Shui Lianyue nodded, her eyes softened a bit, and she sighed softly: "Marrying into a royal family is not like an ordinary family. There are many rules and etiquette, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Qiuye took the words, grinned and said: "Princess, there is no need to sigh. Today, the slave has told the old lady what the princess said. The old lady understands the princess's difficulties very well, and also asked the slave to comfort the princess from time to time, so as not to worry the princess."
"Yes, Princess, the old lady is a generous person. Today, when the servants talked about the matter, the old lady was in a good mood and ate two bowls of rice at noon." Dongxue continued following Qiuye's words.
Qinglan and Qingyu listened to the conversation between several people, and immediately understood that Princess Daqing had asked these three people to go home to visit their mother today. Listening to those words, they were in order and without any intention of fabricating them. Qinglan was vigilant. My heart also relaxed.
Qingyu observed the gazes and expressions of several people without any trace, and did not notice any abnormality. Shui Lianyue narrowed her phoenix eyes and took in all the subtle actions of the two people. She couldn't help but sneered in her heart, but she looked indifferent on the surface. He waved his hand towards Qinglan Qingyu and said: "Okay, please leave first. You don't need to wait here anymore. I still want to listen to them talk about some things about my parents' family. You two can go make dinner."
Qinglan Qingyu responded and slowly exited the main room. As soon as she closed the door, she heard Shui Lianyue say in a cold voice: "Tell me quickly, has the eldest lady gone to Lanxiang Pavilion to embarrass the old lady again? That bitch Shui Mushan Has Hoofi caused any trouble for the eldest sister again? Are there a few more young ladies in the house?"
Qinglan Qingyu looked at each other and smiled, feeling that there was no need to eavesdrop. Women in deep houses always fight like this and talk to each other.
Shui Lian Yue Yun Li held her breath and listened to the footsteps outside the door, making sure that Qinglan and Qingyu were gradually walking away and there were no unusual sounds around them. Then she opened up the sharp "color" in her phoenix eyes and looked at the three of them. He said in a deep voice: "How is it? Is the mission going well?"
Hongying and the three others also darkened their faces. After hearing this, they all nodded. Hongying was the first to say: "Lian Tianyan and Baili Youyi parted ways on the official road. It seems that Baili Youyi brought it up first. Later, Dong The team from Shuo Kingdom went to Liangcheng and boarded a boat to cross the sea and return to Dongshuo one day ago. Lian Tianyan returned one day earlier than Baili Game. According to the spies, a letter from Canglan Kingdom was delivered to the palace this morning."
Qiuye took over the words and continued: "According to the observations of my subordinates, although the wind was sunny and sunny yesterday, there was a faint trace of moisture in the air. If Baili Game really boarded the ship to cross the sea yesterday, then he would definitely be at sea. People who often cross the sea after encountering a storm will have a certain ability to identify the weather. Therefore, my subordinates guessed that Baili Game did not leave Jin Xi at all."
Shui Lianyue thought for a moment and then looked at Dong Xue and asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything going on with Chu Yihua?"
Dongxue glanced at Hongying and Qiuye, her expression very serious, "Chu Yihua left the capital three days ago for Yingdu. According to the information obtained by his subordinates, Nangong Yu left early and returned late for several days in a row. It has a lot to do with Yihua and Ying."
"Yingdu? If I remember correctly, Yingdu falls under Nangong Yu's jurisdiction." Shui Lianyue thought about it carefully and suddenly looked at Dongxue and asked.
Dongxue nodded and said: "Yes, Yingdu is under the jurisdiction of King Yu. He is a prince, and the seven big cities in his fiefdom were given by the late emperor. However, the current emperor is very guarded against him. He used the excuse earlier to take him back. In the three big cities, although King Yu returned the military power to the emperor, his decisive cavalry was recuperating in Yingdu. Although King Yu did everything right, I don’t know how Chu Yihua knew that he was actually in Yingdu. Rumors about King Yu's rebellion were spread everywhere. King Yu traveled to the capital and Yingdu for days in order to prevent the news from spreading to the capital. However, King Yu still doesn't know that it was Chu Yihua who did it. Princess, do you want us?" .
"No, there's no need." Shui Lianyue naturally knew what Dong Xue meant. Her phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning. She looked at Dong Xue intently and said softly: "I don't know who your master is." Who, and why did you help me, let you leak this matter to me? It is obvious that the information you gave me is more and deeper than what Yan Jinge could find. If there is a chance, I would like to get to know your master." .[
Hearing this, Dongxue immediately knelt on the ground with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said: "Dongxue and Dongxue's master have absolutely no intention of harming the princess. The master has said that no matter what the princess asks for, she must obey her conditions." .
"You misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else. I just felt that no credit should be given. Your master took so much trouble to help me, but what do you want?" Shui Lianyue shook her head, stood up and helped Dong Xue up, and asked in a softer voice. .
"My master said that as long as the princess is protected, I will do anything at all."
Shui Lianyue looked at Dongxue in surprise. In Dongxue's eyes, she only saw sincerity and nothing else. After listening to these words, she felt a little warm in her heart, but she felt even more uneasy.
Who is it? Who is it?
She knew that Dongxue had received professional training and was very tight-lipped. If he wanted to find out who her master was from her mouth, he would not tell her even if he killed her. She simply sighed in her heart and let her go. Go ahead, sooner or later she will find out. She doesn't believe that that person helped her like this without any strings attached.
Pie in the sky never falls.
After steadying her mind, Shui Lianyue sat back on the soft couch again, with a cold look on her beautiful face, which made the three people's backs shiver. "It seems that it's time for them to take action. You must be vigilant for a few days and nights. Qiuye, you don't know how to do martial arts, so just stay in the side room. I have Hongying Dongxue here to guard you in shifts."
"Master, if you tell Nangong Yu what Chu Yihua did, or tell the emperor about the decisive killing of the cavalry."
"Absolutely not, especially at this time." Before Dong Xue could finish her words, Shui Lianyue glared at her and interrupted her harshly. Then, she looked past Dong Xue, frowned slightly, and looked at the ink painting on the wall. Shanhe Tu said calmly: "This matter is not that simple. Baili Game must have promised Chu Yihua a lot of benefits before he allowed him to collude with him in the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Even if he told Nangong Yu, the Empress Dowager of Chu Supporting the Chu family will only lead to false accusations. When the time comes, Nangong Yu will definitely blame all the crimes on me. And if Nangong Ling knows that Nangong Yu secretly raises troops, he will just follow Baili's game. "It means that although Nangong Yu and Nangong Ling have been fighting secretly for many years, the situation of Jin Xi's court is now stable. Canglan and Dongshuo are eyeing each other and are not surrendering. Once they speak out, they may face a war."
"But Nangong Yu is very strict and seldom makes mistakes. It won't be so easy to catch him next time," Qiuye thought carefully about Shui Lianyue's words and said with a worried look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Shui Lianyue's eyes darkened and she was lost in thoughts. After a long time, she said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. Nangong Yu's intention to rebel is not a day or two. However, Nangong Ling can't catch any favorable evidence. Even if he catches it, It will also make Nangong Yu find a way to erase it. If we can master this beneficial information, we will not worry about not being able to punish him in the future. The most worrying thing right now is our Tao Ranju. We must be vigilant at all times these days and nights and must not relax. ”.
"Yes, Princess", the three of them said in unison.
There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door of the main house, and the four people in the house immediately fell silent. Qinglan stood outside the house and asked respectfully: "Princess Qi, there is not enough rice vinegar in the kitchen. Do you want to go to the front yard to get some?"
Shui Lianyue raised her chin and replied with a choked voice: "Let's go tomorrow. Just make something today. I have no appetite."
"Yes, Princess".
Shui Lianyue listened intently outside the door, and it was obvious that Qinglan had not left. She looked at Hongying and asked softly: "Did Shui Muyao go to see the Seventh Lady?"
Hongying was startled for a moment, then she understood what Shui Lianyue meant. It was still a hindrance for her to say something important to Qinglan. She sighed softly and said, "Even if she goes to see the Seventh Lady, it won't make up for it." , the sixth lady is pregnant, the master doesn’t even go to the shop, and spends all day at the sixth lady’s place. Sometimes the seventh lady can’t even see the master. Shui Mushan always makes excuses to go to Muyan Pavilion to find trouble. The day before yesterday, she asked her mother-in-law I slapped Shui Muyao ten times in the mouth, and her face was swollen. Today, the servant went to see her and said that she was ordered by the princess. At that time, she threw herself into the slave's arms and cried very wronged."
