Chapter 316 Let’s go, go back!
Ji Yunchu didn't know that she couldn't go out this time because her adopted half-brother Ji Changzhi almost sent someone to assassinate her.
She walked all the way to Yongle Road.
At the same time, in Prince Xuan's Mansion, when Prince Xiao rushed back to the study, he saw Prince Xuan sitting in front of the desk with a sad face.
"Xuan'er, what happened?"
Prince Xuan looked up and saw him coming back. He immediately stood up and walked in front of him and bowed respectfully: "Father, none of us who went to Prince Chen's Palace have returned. Just now, our subordinates secretly went outside Prince Chen's Palace to check and failed to contact anyone inside. Do you think our people have been exposed?"
Prince Xiao nodded, "Well, maybe! Just now I heard from your aunt that the poisonous insects in the fourth princess' body have been removed. I guess they were really killed or captured.
Don't worry, I will send people to Prince Chen's Mansion tonight to investigate. If they are really caught, I will kill them all and never let them reveal any information."
Prince Xuan was obedient and felt relieved. He smiled and began to care about the situation in the palace: "Father, did you go to the palace to see my mother? Is she doing well now?"
Prince Xiao's face was tinged with solemnity, "No, when I went in disguise, I found that the palace was strictly checking the eunuchs in each palace, so I could only stay in the secret passage and wait for the people below to investigate the truth.
After checking, I learned that the Emperor already knew about the fake eunuch in the harem. In order to prevent your mother from being suspected, I did not go to her.
Finally, I thought of asking about the poisonous insects that had infested the Fourth Princess, so I went to the cold palace and found out that the poisonous insects had been removed. "
Prince Xuan looked at his expression seriously, and only when he saw that he was calm the whole time did he believe it, so he said, "Father, since you mentioned this, I have also noticed something strange outside the palace in recent days. There are always some unfamiliar people wandering outside, and the most obvious thing is that there is a beggar guarding every alley. Did you see them when Father came back just now?"
"No, I changed my appearance. They probably never dreamed that I have passed by their noses many times!" King Xiao said with a smug smile on his face, but soon his face turned gloomy.
"Xuan'er, ask the maids in the mansion to go out and have them quietly find out where those people came from. I want to see who wants to deal with me like this!"
Here, the father and son were discussing how to deal with the people investigating them. Meanwhile, Ji Yunchu had been walking for nearly an hour and felt tired, so he turned and walked towards the carriage driven by Su Bai, panting slightly and saying, "Let's go back!"
Su Yue was stunned. "Princess, aren't you going to eat something before you go back? It's already past lunch time, and there may be no leftovers in the kitchen!"
"Su Jin and Su Meng, go to Zuiyue Tower and pack up some food for five people!" As she spoke, she took out two hundred-liang silver notes from her eight-treasure bag and handed them to Su Jin.
Su Jin took it and said, "Okay, Princess, you guys go back first, and we'll go pack lunch and take it back home."
Su Jin stuffed the banknotes into his arms, and left with Su Men using Qinggong.
Ji Yunchu and Su Yue walked up to Su Bai's carriage together and got on without saying anything. Su Yue made a gesture, and Su Bai immediately drove the carriage around, then began to whip the horse, making the carriage gallop back quickly.
Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of Prince Chen's mansion. After getting off the carriage, Ji Yunchu went straight into the mansion. But just as she passed the garden, a maid ran up to her.
She looked carefully and recognized the maid. Wasn't this Xiaochan who had a private chat with Xiaorui in the pavilion in the garden? She was full of doubts. How could a little maid from Yulu Garden come to her?
But before she could speculate, Xiaochan introduced herself anxiously: "I am Xiaochan, the maid of Yulu Garden. I would like to meet Princess Ji!"
Without waiting for Ji Yunchu to speak, she stood up straight. Ji Yunchu saw disdain and displeasure in her eyes, and could not help but frowned slightly, but she still deliberately put on the airs that a princess should have, and said in a cold voice: "Are you a maid in the palace, or a maid who came as a dowry?"
Xiaochan didn't know that she would ask herself such an insignificant question, and she looked down on her more in her heart because she didn't have the bearing and intelligence of a lady.
"My lord, I am a maid in the palace. I am now assigned to serve Princess Lu in Yulu Garden."
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled proudly and said, "Princess, Princess Lu asked me to come to you because she wanted to tell you that Princess Lu is unable to attend the wedding banquet at Prince Jing's mansion the day after tomorrow. She would like you to attend in her place! I wonder if Princess Ji is willing to help?"
Su Yue looked at her asking for a beating and gritted her teeth in anger: Damn it, we have been so careful and secretive all the way today, but we didn't expect that this damn maid would tell it out. I really want to drag her behind a big tree and give her a good beating!
She clenched her fists, and her knuckles made a crackling sound.
But Xiaochan, who was immersed in showing off, had no idea that she had angered Su Yue and the others.
Fortunately, Su Bai reacted quickly and reached out to grab Su Yue's hand, "No!"
