Just after lunch, a eunuch walked quickly into the hall and whispered something in Changshun's ear.

Afterwards, Changshun whispered two words to Jiang Yanchuan in the same posture.

Jiang Yingcheng had sharp ears, but he only heard a few words like "Jinyiwei", "find out", and "report" sporadically.

Then, Jiang Yingcheng saw Eunuch Changshun walk towards her with a smile after exchanging glances with her handsome father.

"Your Highness, let me take you out for a walk to digest your food, okay?"

Jiang Yingcheng glanced at her handsome father again and again, feeling a little hesitant.

She wanted to stay with her father a little longer.

But she also knew that her father had some political matters to deal with, so she obediently extended her hand to Eunuch Changshun and walked out of the yard with him.

Lu Yao hurried into the hall and reported the news he had found to Emperor Mingze in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that Lord Liu Zhengqing..."

Lu Yao recited all the evidences one by one. This man was so bold that even selling official positions and titles was just one of his not-so-obvious mistakes.

Lu Yao looked up fearfully, thinking he would see the emperor's furious scene, but unexpectedly, the man on the couch was supporting his head with his hands, leaning on the table in a relaxed posture, and the corners of his lips were even slightly raised, revealing a not-so-conspicuous smile.

Lu Yao shuddered violently.

Even more terrifying!

The young Jinyiwei commander walked out of Xianyang Palace in a trance, and exchanged one piece of news for three freshly baked tasks:

Check whether Hu Hongyuan, the Minister of Personnel, was driven to the study room last night because he had no money to buy a bracelet for his wife;

To check whether Pu Yuanzhou, the Minister of Rites, had a mistress in Chunyin Lane;

Go check whether Zheng Zhixin from Dali went to Hualiuxiang yesterday.

What is this all about? !

Since when did Emperor Mingze start to care about the private lives of his subjects? !

Lu Yao could hear the sound of heavy objects collapsing, which was the final cry of his shattered worldview.

At the same time, Eunuch Changshun took Jiang Yingcheng to digest the food slowly along the way, and finally they arrived at a slightly desolate courtyard.

Just then a cold wind started to blow, and in the wind there were also two faint sounds of a woman's sad and gentle sobs.

Jiang Yingcheng shuddered violently.

"Uncle Changshun, we've walked so far." Jiang Yingcheng sounded aggrieved.

She did eat a little more at noon, but the meals in her father's palace were so rich. She had never seen so many dishes placed on the same table in her entire life. She only took a bite of one and her stomach became as hard as a rock.

But they had been walking for so long and the food they had eaten for lunch was almost completely digested, so she didn't want to go any further.

"Oh, look at my head," Chang Shun looked around in surprise, "I have walked here without realizing it."

Jiang Yingcheng was quickly hooked by the fishing-style acting.

Jiang Xiaoyu asked curiously: "Where is this place?"

Eunuch Changshun had a conflicted look on his face, and seemed unwilling to say more to Jiang Yingcheng.

However, Jiang Yingcheng, who had already taken the bait, did not want to get off the hook easily. She took out the small dessert that Jiang Yanchuan had prepared for her from her lapel, trying to bribe Uncle Changshun: "This is for Uncle Changshun~"

Finally unable to bear it any longer, 007 suddenly spoke up: [High-end hunters often appear as prey.]

Jiang Yingcheng was confused: [What? ]

007: [......]

007 said helplessly: [This is the courtyard where the Seventh Prince's mother and concubine are. ]

Jiang Yingcheng was stunned, then suddenly raised his head and saw the three big words "Pinfangyuan" on the black plaque at the top of the gate.

She murmured in her heart: [Is this where the seventh brother and his mother live? ]

Moving his eyes downward, he saw the wooden door that already looked a little dilapidated.

The environment here is much worse than Zhuyunxuan where she and her mother live. At least their place looks like a place where normal people live.

Hearing the sadness in the little princess's voice, Eunuch Changshun teasingly took away the dessert that the little princess was holding in her hand as a bribe, cleared his throat, and answered: "This is Pinfang Garden where Lan Zhaorong is."

The seventh prince's mother was originally an ordinary maid in the Xianyang Palace. She climbed onto the dragon bed when Emperor Mingze was drunk and gave birth to a prince. Therefore, she had to be named Zhaorong after giving birth.

But because of this reason, the mother and son were bullied by other concubines and princes.

Even the palace maids in their courtyard were often negligent in their daily lookout.

After listening to the background summary given by 007, Jiang Yingcheng blinked twice slowly like a sloth: [Ah...]

For the ten thousandth time, 007 silently complained in his heart about the heaven that forcibly lowered his intelligence, making the task that should have been easy to complete become so complicated.

Seeing that Jiang Yingcheng still didn't react, 007 reminded: [This is a good opportunity, I think you should sneak in and take a look. ]

After a pause, it added in a more serious tone: [You go in alone.]

Jiang Yingcheng finally came back to his senses: [Okay. ]

She raised her head and looked at the eunuch Changshun above with innocent eyes: "Uncle Changshun, let's play hide and seek?"

Eunuch Changshun succeeded in fishing, and he smiled secretly and said, "Of course, Your Highness, do you want to catch it or hide it?"

Seeing that his plan succeeded so easily, Jiang Yingcheng clenched his small fleshy hands into fists and said excitedly, "I want to catch him!"

She had thought it through. After all, Lan Zhaorong was her father's concubine. When they were hiding, they would definitely not enter each other's courtyard at will. And after they were hiding, they would not come out easily until she went to find them, which would give her enough time to sneak in and have a chat with her seventh brother's mother.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Seventh brother’s mother likes her, and seventh brother will slowly like her too!

She's such a planner!

007: Cangsang lights a cigarette.

I always feel that this mission is destined to be of hellish difficulty.

Eunuch Changshun readily agreed. The accompanying palace servants dispersed while Jiang Yingcheng was counting against the wall, walked to a distance, each found a shelter, and secretly observed the little princess's actions.

Under the gazes of dozens of people, Jiang Yingcheng slowly turned around and looked around like a thief. When he didn't see any palace servants, he covered his mouth and laughed.

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, look!] Jiang Yingcheng looked very proud, [I, Jiang Yingcheng, am smart!]

007: [...Go in quickly, smart guy.]

Jiang Yingcheng did not delay any longer after hearing this. He quietly pushed open the door of Pinfangyuan and walked in stealthily.

There was not a single eunuch or palace maid to be seen in the courtyard, only faint sounds could be heard coming from the main house.

It was the same sobbing sound I heard before.

Jiang Yingcheng's arms were covered with goose bumps: [Wuwuwu, Brother Tong, is this place haunted...?]

Before 007 could answer, the sobbing inside suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The sound was muffled, like someone falling to the ground.

Jiang Yingcheng was stunned, no longer caring about his previous fear, and ran over with his short legs.
