The master and the servant arrived at the corner of the backyard that Ximen Jingxuan mentioned, carrying their bed rolls and their belongings.
That room was really small. It was located alone in the corner of the courtyard and was incompatible with the pond and bridge passing by in front of it. It was a small room that was equivalent to a pile of debris.
When I opened the door, dust rushed into my face. There were sticks and other things lying on the ground. You might trip over them if you were not careful. The unknown debris leaning against the wall took up most of the room. There was no place for a place to stay.
The place.
Such a house cannot be lived in directly, and must be tidied up after dawn.
"Miss, what should I do?" Yan'er didn't know what to do.
Lin Xiner looked around, the sky was already thick black, and there was a faint candlelight in the yard not far away.
"That should be Mrs. Zhiqi's residence, right?" Lin Xiner said, she remembered that was the place where the female corpse appeared, "Let's go there and have a look."
Yan'er followed Lin Xiner to the door of Mrs. Zhiqi's courtyard. The door was closed tightly, and Yan'er stepped forward and knocked.
After a while, a maid came out and opened the door. When she saw it was Lin Xiner, she hurriedly welcomed her in.
"My concubine's place is not as good as the Plum Blossom Garden. It's very rough. Don't dislike it, Princess."
Mrs. Zhiqi knew that Lin Xiner had just been punished with a cane, so she invited her to the soft couch and said politely.
This is the first time Lin Xiner has met Mrs. Zhiqi. As expected, she is as gentle and generous as the information she has obtained. She is worthy of someone who comes from the side of the empress in the palace. Her behavior is calm and decent, and she should be considered a virtuous wife.
It just seemed that he had not recovered from the fright of the past few days, and his complexion was a little weak.
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Zhiqi? Yan'er just said that I was demoted to a corner room in the backyard, and I'm not even as good as yours," Lin Xiner said.
"Accompanying a prince is like accompanying a tiger, and the same applies to following the prince. Occasionally being punished is inevitable. When the prince is relieved, the princess will still be the master of the Plum Blossom Court." Mrs. Zhiqi said.
"Thank you for your good wishes, Madam." Lin Xin'er smiled. This Madam Zhiqi's words are really measured, but women who can enter the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion are not simple behind the scenes. Especially women who serve the same man, their words should be
Listen to it the other way around.
"The princess thinks that what I said was against my will?" Mrs. Zhiqi said, "I was the first to come to Prince Xuan's Mansion on the order of the queen. The queen saw that the prince was over twenty years old and there was no woman in the mansion.
Let me serve the prince. I know my origin. Unlike Mrs. Shui Qing of Shangshu Mansion and Mrs. Mei, the princess of Yuehua Kingdom, it is my duty to serve my master with all my heart. I can win the wife of Prince Xuan Mansion.
I am already a man of great grace, and I have never thought of anything else."
"Sometimes, even if you don't think too much, good things will happen. If the wife gives birth to a son and a half for the prince, how can the mother live a poor life in the future just because the son is so valuable?" Lin Xiner said casually.
"Children? I never ask for anything extravagantly." Mrs. Zhiqi smiled softly.
Lin Xiner saw a hint of helplessness hidden in Mrs. Zhiqi's smile. Did she not ask for anything extravagantly, or did she know she couldn't get it and had to give up?
After a few words, the two of them excused themselves for being unwell and went to rest.
Early in the morning, Yan'er insisted on applying medicine to Lin Xiner's injury before letting her get up. The two of them said goodbye to Mrs. Zhiqi and arrived at the side house. They saw Yang Chen already waiting there, and the house was occupied.
After a brief tidying up, the things inside were moved to the side of the house, a few wider wooden boards were selected to support two wooden beds, and a simple table was nailed and placed inside the house.
"That's right. Thank you, Your Majesty, for having the thought to not let us, master and servant, have any trouble, otherwise we don't know how long it would have taken." Lin Xiner walked around the room and clapped her hands.
"Since there is no problem with the princess, I will resign from my humble position." Yang Chen cupped his hands and said.
Lin Xiner didn't say anything. If she said she wanted to build a plum blossom garden here, would it be a problem?
After Yang Chen left, Yan'er made the bed and went to the dining room to get food. Lin Xiner was left behind to secretly summon Yue Yao, and Xing Yao also followed.
At this time, her location was at the side of Prince Xuan's Mansion, close to the palace wall. Compared to Plum Blossom Court, it was more convenient to do things.
This was Lin Xiner's purpose of deliberately guiding Ximen Jingxuan to drive her here. The backyard was close to the edge of the palace, which was more convenient for connections. But Ximen Jingxuan's decision was more ruthless than she expected. Originally, she thought Ximen Jingxuan would
She was asked to live in the place where Mrs. Shui Qing lived, but Ximen Jingxuan ordered her to live in this shabby house.
"Why, have you found out all the information?" Lin Xiner didn't expect Xingyao to return so soon, and asked with some suspicion.
"No." As Lin Xiner expected, Xingyao shook her head.
"When my subordinates investigated the affairs between Yuehua Kingdom and Xiaoyao Hou, they encountered great resistance. I led people from Shuiyue Palace to carefully investigate every suspicious place, but every time I found clues...
Being followed closely by others to destroy them, several days have passed, and my subordinates have made no progress." Xingyao said with some frustration. There was nothing that Shuiyue Palace had always wanted to investigate. It was just a matter of time, but this time it was unexpected.
It's very difficult to deal with. The other party seems to know their every move and can set up defenses in advance.
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Xiner was also surprised. Shuiyue Palace has been working in the world for so many years and has never failed. Including this time she personally sneaked into Prince Xuan's palace. She must find the imperial doctor. Shuiyue Palace
The reputation he has cultivated over the years is not false.
However, this time we encountered such a big resistance? Who is the opponent?
"In this case, let's stop taking action first." Lin Xiner said. She is not a stubborn person. She knows whether to advance or retreat. There is no fixed success. Anyway, she is still connected to Ximen Jingyu and the mysterious master of Yuehua Kingdom.
Line is also a breakthrough point.
"Yes." Xingyao said.
"I am now sure that the imperial doctor is not in the palace, but in the hands of Ximen Jingxuan, most likely in Prince Xuan's Mansion." Lin Xiner said, this was her purpose of finding Yueyao.
"In Prince Xuan's Mansion?" Yue Yao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that things would turn out to be a coincidence.
"Yes." Lin Xin'er nodded, "So, we have to focus our target here. It's no good if we don't use Ximen Jingxuan as a target."
"But Prince Xuan has a very bad attitude towards the Young Palace Master and is not easy to get close to." Yue Yao said. Although there are rumors that Prince Xuan loves the princess, they themselves know how Prince Xuan uses him to treat the Young Palace Master. If you want to think about it,
It is not easy to get close to Prince Xuan, not to mention that the young palace master has been expelled from the Plum Blossom Court, and the rumors of being favored before will definitely change.
Moreover, compared with the Imperial Palace, Prince Xuan's Mansion is more difficult to carry out operations with Prince Xuan in charge, and it is even more difficult to discover the secrets of the Prince's Mansion. This is why it is said that one Prince Xuan can guard the entire southern Xinjiang.
Just because there is more Xuan Wang, everything becomes more difficult. If the relationship with Xuan Wang is not good, or even regarded as a thorn in the side, it will be even more difficult to do things, and the danger will be greater.
