The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

If I remember correctly, the assassin just now was the killer sent by Nanny Lin to Taohua Village to kill her.

Now that he saw her, he actually turned around and left. How strange! Could it be that the killer was in internal conflict, and his martial arts were poor, so he was eliminated and wanted to join Prince Zhan's Palace?

She just sat there and thought about everything. Others didn't do as much as she said.

Qi Siliao had a blank expression on his face, staring at the battle outside, and said coldly: "He came to understand the king's situation."

"Huh? Then why don't you chase after him!"

"If I chase him out, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants?"

Hu Luanfei said "Oh" with a bright light in his eyes, "Your Highness, if we rescue Qi Sili this time, will he be grateful and reward us with hundreds of thousands of taels of gold?"

Qi Si Liao curled his lips coldly, "I'm afraid your wish will not come true."

"why?"

"Look for yourself." He lifted a corner of the curtain and pointed at the sedan chair in front and explained: "Although there are many men in black, do you see which one is attacking the sedan chair in front?"

That being said…

"Damn it! They are all piled up in front of our carriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Luanfei realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly covered his mouth, looking at Qi Siliao somewhat helplessly, "The emperor didn't hear what I said, did he?"

Qi Si Liao didn't care. "So what if she heard it? Concubine Jiang planned this just to get rid of us, didn't she?"

"Does the Emperor know?"

"What do you think?" He pretended to be deep. "In fact, I have long expected that Qi Sili would not give up. He would either get rid of you or take advantage of the chaos to get rid of Concubine Jiang and then frame me for the crime."

Kill three birds with one stone...

and many more!

"Isn't the imperial concubine Qi Sili's woman? Why do you want to get rid of her?"

Qi Siliao replied in a gloomy voice: "How can I understand their affairs?"

"Then why did he want to get rid of me?"

"If you can't get it, destroy it."

Hu Luanfei: ...

When support from the rear arrived at the battlefield, the men in black saw that the situation was not right, so they threw smoke bombs and quickly evacuated.

The blood-stained streets returned to tranquility, and the hiding people quietly poked their heads out to see what was going on.

During the whole incident, except for Jiang Huizhen who had her arm twisted and slapped in the face, everyone else was not seriously injured.

The leader of the Imperial Guards ordered his men to clean up the streets, and Qi Sili got out of the carriage as if nothing had happened.

Hu Luanfei looked back at the carriage he was sitting in, and then looked at the sedan chairs of Qi Sili and Concubine Jiang in front of him. The difference was obvious until the comparison was made.

His own carriage was as hornet's nest-like and looked horrible, while the other person's carriage was completely intact and looked beautiful beyond compare.

Sure enough, that group of assassins were arranged by them.

Before Hu Luanfei could recover from his daze, the Imperial Observatory pointed at the plaque of Prince Zhan's Palace and said something to Qi Sili, and someone set up a ladder and climbed up.

Thinking of the rag doll with silver needles stuck in it and the musk in the embroidered handkerchief, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"My lord..."

He patted her hands, signaling her not to panic, "I have my own strategy, they won't be able to find anything."

So, there really are filthy things in Prince Zhan’s mansion?

She didn't dare to think about what the so-called filthy things were, and habitually bit her fingernails, lost in thought.

Without permission, they searched Prince Zhan's mansion inside and out, including the carp pond, rockery, and even the toilet. They searched every place they could reach, and even if there were places they couldn't reach, they would force their way in to take a look.

Having just experienced the assassination and now the house raiding, Hu Luanfei felt very tired and could not help complaining to Qi Siriao, "Your Majesty, I really want to return to Taohua Village and farm freely."

"Well, it will be soon, as long as we put today's events behind us."

After a while, someone came to report and handed something to Qi Sili. The sharp-eyed Hu Luanfei discovered that it was a map of Qi Siriao's fiefdom.

"Your Majesty, they..."

"Shh!" He put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet. "I have hidden your manuscript. They can't find it."

Hu Luanfei gritted her teeth. She was not worried about the manuscript, but the map! There were many changes on the map. If Qi Sili knew their intentions, wouldn't he be accused?

However, Qi Sili just took a look at it, handed the map back to the man, turned his head and said something to Concubine Jiang, who then held her stomach and screamed.

Hu Luanfei saw that scene.

"My Lord, let's go home."

"Ah."

My footsteps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every step was heavy.

His displeasure was clearly visible on his face, but he clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Hu Luanfei knew that he was sad.

But she had no sympathy. She had told him the truth long ago, but he refused to believe it and insisted on coming back to die.

He exchanged glances with Jiang Shi, who understood and came over to help Qi Si Liao step onto the stairs of Prince Zhan's mansion. He ignored Concubine Jiang's poor acting skills and asked Qi Si Li directly, "Your Majesty, have you found anything filthy?"

Qi Sili could not answer, so he looked towards the Imperial Observatory. He calculated the direction, pointed at the sycamore tree in Ci'an Garden and said, "Your Majesty, the filthy thing appeared in the corner due south."

"Impossible, that is the courtyard of this concubine and the prince."

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said without blushing, "Dirty things are related to offspring, so they must be placed in the environment where the couple is, so that they can get pregnant quickly."

"Huh? According to what you mean, do you suspect that we are plotting to transfer the baby in the imperial concubine's belly to Prince Zhan's mansion?"

The Imperial Observatory said: "I am just guessing, I have no ill intentions."

"You're sick!" she cursed angrily.

"Okay, let's go and take a look. If it's true, then we'll deal with it. If not, that's another matter." Qi Sili had been watching the show for a long time and felt quite tired, so he urged everyone to go to Ci'an Garden.

Hu Luanfei gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Your Majesty, the prince and I are very affectionate. Even if I get pregnant, it will be a natural thing. Why do you have to involve the imperial concubine?"

Qi Sili raised his eyebrows, "The Imperial Concubine's fetus is unstable. The Imperial Observatory pointed out that it was affected by filthy things, which caused the Imperial Concubine to feel unwell."

Hu Luanfei's heart was twisted, but he still maintained a calm appearance in front of everyone, "Your Majesty, if every concubine had an unstable fetus during pregnancy, would you also have to search Prince Zhan's mansion every time?"

He frowned slightly, "You are questioning me."

Hu Luanfei sighed, "How dare I? I only know that it is common for a woman to have an unstable fetus in the first three months of pregnancy, and the imperial physician will advise her to stay in bed or take medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. Now the imperial concubine is special. She is worried that our Zhan Palace will be affected by her pregnancy. She doesn't even think about which comes first, Zhan Palace or the fetus in her belly. Everything has to be based on first come first served."

As they were talking, all the palace maids and eunuchs who were searching Ci'an Garden came out, all of them came back empty-handed, having found nothing.

"Look, where did this filthy thing come from?" Hu Luanfei muttered in dissatisfaction, and because of this muttering, he aroused Concubine Jiang's suspicion.
