My Lady is well

Chapter 31 House search? Ulterior motives

He lowered his eyes to look at her with a hint of exploration, and their gaze unexpectedly met.

The moonlight cast a faint shadow on her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly.

There is only a pair of peach blossom eyes, full as autumn water, bright as stars. Innocent when clear, enchanting when emotional.

His Adam's apple rolled, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly looked away.

The hand holding the booklet tightened slightly, and he turned around and walked straight out of Liufengxuan.

Shen Yueyao raised her eyes and peered for a while, but could only see a shadow.

She stood there for a long time, thinking it was strange that after she confessed her crime, she was surprisingly not punished.

She lowered her eyelashes, thinking over and over again, but could not come to any conclusion.

Jin'er stood up and quickly helped her up.

He glanced at the door with resentment, pouted his lips, and stamped his feet.

Shen Yueyao saw that she was abnormal and asked, "What happened?"

Jin Er muttered, "Master, The Legend of the White Snake..."

She turned sideways and realized that Qiu Ju and the others were only concerned about the copy of "Legend of the White Snake" that had been taken away.

Xia Ye was so anxious that his brows were furrowed, like an ant on hot pan.

"My lady, what should I do?"

Qiu Ju was rarely angry and blamed.

"I was just saying that. It's all your fault. You took it to the yard but didn't even think about putting it back in the house. Now what?"

"I... I just wanted to ask the master about a few things I didn't understand, but I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come."

"Ah... my white lady..."

"Ah... my Xu Xian..."

"..."

Shen Yueyao sighed in her heart when she heard the screams of several people.

Fanaticism can really make you stupid!

I am not worried about whether the prince will punish me, but I am worried about the story.

She covered half of her face with her hands and sighed to herself.

"It is your own fault and you will not live!"

Jin'er's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly.

"Look at you guys, it's not a big deal. Anyway, what we have the most is time. Master, just continue writing. Right, Master?"

Only then did a few people come out of their sadness and follow suit.

"Yes, yes."

Shen Yueyao was besieged by a group of expectant eyes, and she quickly fell.

He smiled helplessly.

"Tomorrow I want to eat Bijian soup, Shanhaidou, dragon and phoenix shreds, ginger and vinegar snails, Dongpo tofu..."

Chunfeng took a breath and made up his mind.

"No problem! As long as the master wants to eat, I will cook for you even if I stay up tonight."

"..."

Jing Ruzhang sat by the southern window, staring at the notebook in his hand for a moment.

Luo Zhong stood aside and waited for half an incense stick of time, but he didn't speak. He raised his head and looked out the window.

A gentle reminder.

"Your Highness, it's late, you should go to bed."

"Go back."

Luo Zhong frowned and looked up at him, wanting to persuade him again, but knowing it was useless, he could only lower his head, responded, and walked out.

His eyes fell on the booklet in his hand and he said calmly.

"I want to see what you can write."

......

Ever since Jing Ruzhang suddenly visited Liufengxuan, guards came to search the room every now and then.

The names he used were all kinds of weird, saying that he was suspected of harboring banned books, hiding banned items, that his highness's private seal was missing, that his highness had lost a jade pendant, and that his highness's waist badge seemed to have fallen into Liufengxuan...

He really can throw things!

Just come to Liufengxuan once, and it’s not shameful to lose all the things on you.

Every time Jiang Ye brought people to search the palace, he would take away her newly written "Legend of the White Snake", no matter where it was hidden by the palace maids.

Qiuju hid in the firewood pile, Dongxue sewed a secret compartment on the pillow, and Jin'er even hid on the roof of the toilet, but they were all found out without any surprise.

Even Jin'er could see that the Crown Prince had not lost anything, but was clearly after "The Legend of White Snake".

Every time the girls saw them, they acted like they were seeing their enemies and were extremely jealous.

Jiang Ye felt the hostile gazes from the fans of "Legend of White Snake" and felt a chill down his spine.

Shen Yueyao leisurely drank a sip of tea and glanced at the girls standing at the door, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

She sighed softly, picked up the round fan and waved it gently, looking at Jiang Ye leisurely.

"Hey, Guard Jiang is here again?"

Jiang Ye felt guilty about being assigned this task and his face turned red. He lowered his head, clasped his fists, and responded stutteringly.

"Shen... Your Highness, your ring is lost, and I have specially ordered... specially ordered this servant to look for it."

Shen Yueyao chuckled nonchalantly and joked.

"Really? Why don't I remember His Highness wearing a ring?"

"I wear...I wear it."

Shen Yueyao stood up with her lips bent, walked to his side, admired his blushing expression for a few seconds, raised her white fingers to her lips and smiled, like a blooming fairy flower.

Jiang Ye lowered his head and never raised his eyes.

Shen Yueyao took out a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to him.

"Actually, Your Highness, there is no need to beat around the bush. If you like, you can just send someone to get it. There is no need to make such a big fuss."

Jiang Ye's face turned even redder, and he stretched out his hands to take it, and his speech became more and more stuttering.

"He...His Highness, he..."

He wants to save face!!!

How can a dignified prince who cares about the country and the people be a playboy who only likes to read storybooks?

I didn’t like watching this before.

Jiang Ye glanced down at the booklet in his hand and complained to himself.

I don't know what kind of magic these words have that can make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so fascinated that he would do such a thing... such a thing...

Oh, forget it. Your Highness must have his reasons for doing this. Maybe there is some art of diplomacy or way of governing the country behind it.

Seeing that he couldn't explain the reason for a long time, Shen Yueyao helped him out.

"Okay, it's not shameful to like reading storybooks. Even if you are the Crown Prince, it is normal for you to have a hobby. I understand."

Jiang Ye was stunned, and felt a little ashamed after hearing her insightful words.

In his subconscious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the emperor in the future, so he should put the country first and should not be distracted by anything else except national and family affairs.

But they forget that he is also a human being. As a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires. If he cuts off all emotions and desires, wouldn’t he become a monk?

So, what's wrong with reading a storybook?

He clasped his fists and said, "Concubine Shen is wise."

When Shen Yueyao heard him only use the word "wise" to praise others, she frowned and shook her head slightly.

He is a good-looking man, but he has become a fool by being with Jing Ruzhang. How will he find a wife in the future?

She looked at the group of guards leaving, and something suddenly flashed through her mind.

The people under Jing Ruzhang are so smart that they can find a storybook no matter where it is hidden.

Why did we find nothing when we searched the palace that day?

I heard that the poison was rare, and whoever could get it into the palace must be very well-connected. Thinking about how Yang Li had drugged her before, there might be people from the Imperial Hospital involved.

She vaguely guessed that it was most likely her.

But she did it so cleanly, which she might not be able to do on her own.

I think there must be accomplices.

And Qiuju...

She raised her eyes to glance at Qiuju and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone go away, Qiuju, come in."

"Yes."

"By the way, Concubine Yang drugged me last time. Is that medicine in Tingyu Pavilion?"

Qiuju nodded and whispered.

"I followed your instructions and bribed Lan Cui, the fire-making maid in Tingyuxuan's kitchen. I asked her to secretly serve Concubine Yang's meal. After two days, you said it should stop, so I asked Lan Cui to stop."

"Then why didn't they find it during the palace search that night?"

Jin'er's contraceptives hidden in the secret compartment of the closet were turned out. Could it be that this girl was so smart that she could avoid the guards' search?

"It's really strange that you put it that way. So many guards searched but couldn't find it."

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyebrows. There was another possibility, that one of her people was among the guards.

She preferred this possibility.

She snorted and laughed: "This Yang Li is not simple!"

Qiuju's heart sank. She lowered her head, frowned tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Shen Yueyao knew what she was worried about and said seriously.

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise to you."

Qiuju fell to her knees.

"I believe in my master."

"Alright, get up quickly, don't kneel down for no reason. But Yang Li wants to use you right now, and he needs your sister as a threat. He won't let your sister leave the Yang Mansion for the time being. To save your sister, you have to find something Yang Li can do about it first."

"I know. I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

"Oh, you speak so beautifully, it seems you have read a lot of books."
