The naive little eunuch with thick eyebrows, small eyes and bulbous nose heard Wu Zhongxian's words and quickly replied: "Report to the young master, that is the courtyard where the Ninth Lady lives."
"The prince was going to find Madam Ninth that night, so he passed by here..."
Madam Ninth!
She was the little girl who looked young but had a lot of weight, and there was a huge cushion in her arms when she hit her.
"Is the prince's itinerary at the palace fixed?"
Wu Zhongxian asked casually.
"no."
The little eunuch shook his head and said: "But that day, the prince had someone notify Madam Ninth, saying that he would go over and spend the night."
"So, Madam Ninth is also suspicious!"
Wu Zhongxian put his hands behind his back and walked towards Madam Ninth's yard: "I have to go and take a look! Lead the way!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that Wu Zhongxian was more talkative, the little eunuch couldn't help but talk a lot: "Master, I also think that Madam Ninth is suspicious. She has been in the palace for more than a month, but the prince has never spent the night with her. So, this
Madam Ninth has been ridiculed by other madams, and she may be jealous of the prince because of this..."
Mrs. Ninth came from a noble family, but she was just an unpopular concubine.
Her family sent her to the palace just to please King Chen Liu and strengthen their cooperative relationship.
This ninth lady is under a lot of pressure.
If she is not favored, her family will put pressure on her.
But since she entered the palace, she has been staying alone in the empty room, and the prince has never visited her.
That's why the young eunuch suspected that she was driven crazy due to too much pressure, so she hated the prince.
"Oh, you are very smart!"
Wu Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh a little when he heard the little eunuch's speculation.
He dare not say that there is no problem with others, but he can guarantee that the Ninth Madam will never have anything to do with this matter.
After all, that is a woman without a brain.
Hmm... Generally, you can tell whether a woman has a brain by looking at her body shape.
For example, people who can't see their feet when they lower their heads must have no brains, because their nutrients have been developed elsewhere. If their brains are less developed, they are definitely not as smart as others.
The ninth lady, Tang Wanru, came from the Tang family in Longxi.
It used to be a first-class family in Great Qin, but since the empress came to rectify the family, the Tang family in Longxi began to decline rapidly.
Now, it has reached the point where he has to please King Chen Liu in order to survive.
Before the Empress of Qin ascended the throne, even if Tang Wanru was a concubine, many officials were vying to have her as the first wife.
Tang Wanru was sitting in the courtyard, playing the piano and lamenting, lamenting that he met unkind people, lamenting that he was born in a noble family, but he was like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the waves.
"This song can only be heard in heaven. How many times can it be heard in the human world?"
Tang Wanru suddenly heard someone reciting poetry. She looked up and saw a handsome young man standing next to her at some point, staring at her with burning eyes.
Looking again, Tang Wanru recognized Wu Zhongxian, the man she had bumped into before.
"You...who are you? How did you come to the backyard?"
Tang Wanru's heart was racing, but he still looked around to find his maid.
Without Wu Zhongxian's need to answer, the young eunuch immediately said: "Mrs. Ninth, this is Mr. Wu. The prince has entrusted Mr. Wu to investigate the assassin's case."
Although the little eunuch looks a bit naive, he is still quite discerning.
"I see!"
When Tang Wanru heard this, he felt relieved. Since the prince had given him permission to investigate the case, no one would say anything to him when he entered his courtyard.
She is now a little afraid of being targeted by the prince's other women, fearing that she will live up to the truth and make the prince even less interested in her.
"You seemed to have read a poem just now?"
Putting aside her worries, Tang Wanru dared to communicate with Wu Zhongxian.
Seeing this cautious look, Wu Zhongxian felt a little pity.
"This song can only be heard in heaven, not in the human world."
Wu Zhongxian read it again and said: "Hey, I just expressed my feelings and made my wife laugh."
Wu Zhongxian always remembered the monk's words. In order not to compete for the luck of the world's scholars, he never dared to read poetry.
However, just now he really blurted out his words and expressed his feelings.
It’s only half a song, so it shouldn’t rob your luck, right?
When Tang Wanru heard this, she looked at Wu Zhongxian in shock. Such an amazing poem was just mentioned casually by him?
This song can only be heard in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the human world?
He said that his music was comparable to fairy music and could not be heard in the human world.
Who doesn't like to hear compliments?
Tang Wanru was originally a woman with a lofty ideal, but her temper was tempered recently.
This poem by Wu Zhongxian almost moved her to tears.
Someone recognizes me, and he is such a good-looking young man.
"It's just that although Madam's playing skills are superb, the music is too sad."
Wu Zhongxian looked at Tang Wanru and said: "Madam, you are in full bloom, you should be young and lively, how can you put your sorrow in the music of the piano?"
He...he understands himself, he hears the emotions of his own music.
Tang Wanru couldn't help but blush. With these few words, she immediately made Wu Zhongxian her confidant.
"How could Mr. Wu understand the pain of living deep in the backyard?"
Tang Wanru sighed: "Hey, it's okay not to mention it!"
"By the way, how is Mr. Wu's investigation of the assassin going?"
Tang Wanru asked curiously.
If the prince hadn't been assassinated, he would have slept with her that day, and she wouldn't have been in this situation.
She was bullied and insulted, and said that the prince was assassinated just because he was looking for her.
"We already have some clues about the assassin, so I have a few questions. I would like to ask my wife alone. Is it convenient?"
Wu Zhongxian's Dantian beads emitted a faint green light, and his whole temperament suddenly changed.
It becomes charming, deep, and full of addictive atmosphere.
"Since it is for the prince to track down the assassin, it is naturally convenient..."
Tang Wanru looked directly at Wu Zhongxian. According to the rules, she should refuse. After all, she was the ninth wife of King Chen Liu and it was not convenient for her to be alone with her foreign husband.
But she already had a crush on Wu Zhongxian, and now that she had a legitimate reason, she couldn't bear to refuse.
Wu Zhongxian looked at the young eunuch, who immediately said: "I will guard here. I will never let anyone disturb the young master's investigation of the case."
Well, he's very good, he knows the rules, and he has a bright future.
Wu Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction.
"Master Wu, please follow me to the study!"
Tang Wanru had already asked the maid to retreat, so she took Wu Zhongxian directly into the study on one side.
After entering the door, Wu Zhongxian closed the door smoothly, and Tang Wanru didn't think there was any problem.
Since you need to inquire alone, you must close the door to avoid being overheard.
Tang Wanru was about to speak when Wu Zhongxian suddenly came over and sniffed with a frown.
"Master Wu, what do you want to ask?"
Tang Wanru said: "Actually, I don't know much about the assassin that day."
Wu Zhongxian said in her ear: "Madam, I don't want to ask you a question, but I want to remind you that you are poisoned."
