Xiahou Qing extended his arm and walked unhurriedly with Jiusi's support on the pebbled flower path. He wanted to hear more, "What's the problem?"
Hui Mo wanted to express himself, "Look, they said they were here to look for Huan Pei, but they left before they found it. Isn't that strange?"
Xiahou Qing nodded, "Is there anything else? Continue."
"There's more, there's something wrong with that nanny too. I clearly remember when we walked out from behind the rockery and found her. When I first saw her, her gaze was very strange. She stared at me like an awl and there was no expression on her face. It was like … like a puppet made by the craftsmen to exorcise ghosts. In the blink of an eye, she quickly changed her expression. She bowed in fear and trepidation and begged for mercy. The difference between before and after was too big. Moreover, her movements were so light that Jiusi and I didn't notice. Fortunately, you have excellent hearing and caught it quickly. Otherwise, who knows what she heard.
Lastly, there's one more thing. We just started to interrogate this nanny and Yin Zhaoyi rushed over. This timing is too coincidental and timely. If this isn't a problem, then what is? I'm starting to suspect that she was sent by Yin Zhaoyi to eavesdrop. It seems that this weak and timid Yin Zhaoyi, who has never had a sense of existence, is very suspicious. "
Xiahou Qing said lightly, "Not only her, the people we met today were all very strange, weren't they?"
Princess Royal Xiao Mingxue, Prince Ke, Xiao Minglan, and this seemingly harmless Yin Zhaoyi. The people they suspected were all gathered at the same place on the same day. How could they not be surprised?
With strong doubts, they returned to Wei Yang Palace. Xiao Minglan's seat was indeed empty. Princess Royal continued to accompany His Majesty and Cao Hou to chat. Perhaps no one would have guessed that not long ago, her face was filled with embarrassment and fragility.
One would become addicted to wearing a fake face for a long time. Unknowingly, the fake face would blend into one's skin and flesh, completely replacing the real one. This woman enjoyed the most unique respect and irreplaceable position in the Imperial Family. Even the Empress respected her. Her husband was also the most famous Tanhua in the past. They had been deeply in love for many years. It seemed to be a perfect life, but who could guess how many lice were hidden under the beautiful clothes?
According to the original plan, when the banquet was nearing its end, Princess Changping's servant girl would appear in a panic and report the bad news that the princess had contracted smallpox. But when the time came, there was no news. Even Southern Yan's diplomatic mission had asked His Majesty to leave. Xiahou Qing frowned and said to Hui Mo in a low voice, "Go and ask him what happened."
Hui Mo received the order and glanced around. When no one was looking, he quietly left the banquet. After half an incense stick's time, he came back and leaned over to Xiahou Qing's ear and said, "When I left, I met Princess Changping who sent a message saying that she had changed her mind. She thought about it all night and suddenly understood that since she had enjoyed the honor of being the Imperial Princess for fifteen years, she should bear the corresponding responsibility. For the safety of the people and the stability of Great Yue, she had no reason to run away. Otherwise, she would live in self-blame for the rest of her life. So she decided to cancel the original plan. "
Xiahou Qing's eyebrows seemed to be pricked by a needle. A bad premonition arose and drilled into his heart, causing him to feel pain from the inside out. He clutched his chest and said, "Then what about Ning Shu? Where is she? "
Hui Mo said, "The Princess said that Lady Ning was very tired these days, so she left the palace early to rest. She asked you not to worry."
It was reasonable to say that the unruly little princess suddenly understood righteousness. In fact, it wasn't a bad thing. Moreover, it saved them a lot of trouble and they didn't have to offend her anymore. But he didn't know why, but his master's face suddenly changed. He stood up and said, "Something might have happened to her. Immediately go and stop Xiao Changping!"
