No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The carriage stopped at the hot spring villa, and Madam Tong came out to greet him and poured Li Wei a large cup of hot milk tea.

He took it and drank it in one gulp, then exhaled a breath of turbid air: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam. Please accept these and count them."

"I still have to go to the Fourth Master to report on my work."

Madam Tong saw that he was covered in mud and was afraid that he would offend the nobleman: "Why don't you wash up and change clothes first?"

"Don't be afraid. This way you will appear sincere!" Li Wei said nonchalantly.

Madam Tong shook her head: "If it's just the master, forget it. He might not mind as he's a big man."

"But this job was assigned by our master. If she's interested, she has to listen. You're being rude."

Li Wei rode back at full speed. He was lucky to be able to stop and rest for a night on the road. He hadn't taken a bath for more than ten days.

At this time, he was not only covered with dust, sweat, and dirt, but also smelled like a beggar on the street.

He pulled up his collar and sniffed: ... ゛(ノ＞＜)ノI can’t stand it!

"Then let's take a bath." He threw down the whip and remembered: "The two families in the carriage behind are the ones I invited to help me grow sweet potatoes."

"Madam, please take care of the arrangements, find them a place to stay, and arrange a meal for them."

Mrs. Tong watched her husband hurriedly take a bath, and then she ordered the people in the farm to count the sweet potatoes.

There are definitely not enough people in the small farm, but fortunately the Fourth Master’s big farm is right next to it, so it is easy to borrow a few people.

She arranged the sweet potato seeds and the invited people in an orderly manner. Li Wei then tied up his wet braids and rode to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Although Li Wei was a scholar, he was not a bookworm. He was also very flexible in his thinking when doing his work.

He was walking on the road, and although he felt satisfied that the task was completed, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Someone was following him, and he was afraid that he might know some fighting skills, so he was following him very secretly.

Li Wei sat on his horse and didn't dare to look back. He took out a small Western pocket watch from his arms, opened it and pretended to check the time.

The Western pocket watch was given to me by the Fourth Master before I set off. It was a relatively ordinary style, but when I opened it, there was a small mirror on the lid.

At this time, a man with a mustache appeared in the mirror, looking sneaky.

Li Wei silently memorized the man's appearance and quietly slipped away when passing an alley without going to the Fourth Master's house to report.

The person who was following realized that he had lost the person, so he was stunned for a moment and then went back to report.

"Master Sai, that man was very clever and we lost him." The eagle slave knelt down and said, "Master, please punish me~"

The scarlet-robed man sitting on the upper hand showed no emotion on his face, but simply waved his hand: "Go down and receive your punishment!"

Saiqi thought about it. In fact, even if he failed to track the man, he had already guessed who the man's owner was.

He wrote four words on the palm of his hand, then hurriedly changed his clothes and went into the palace.

In the East Palace, the cramped and stuffy rooms make it hard to breathe.

Outside the study, two young eunuchs stood there trembling like sieves, not daring to move at all.

The prince got angry again today. As soon as he came back, he locked himself in the study and didn't even have lunch.

The two men happened to be on duty today, and were afraid that they would displease the prince and be dragged away and killed.

Only two months have passed this year, and they are already the third batch of young eunuchs replaced in the Eastern Palace.

Although eunuchs are born inferiors, they also know how to cherish their lives, right?

When Saiqi came over, he didn't even need to announce himself and just pushed the door open and went in.

Crown Prince Yinreng frowned and was about to lose his temper, but when he saw it was him, he calmed down: "Why are you here at this hour?"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Saiqi slapped his sleeves and knelt down to pay his respects.

Yinreng sighed, came over and helped him up himself: "I just said something to you, and you're still angry?"

Saiqi said seriously: "I dare not!"

"You..." Yinreng clenched his fists and took a long breath: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Since you want to handle things impartially, let's deal with the matter at hand.

Saiqi said: "The person who was chasing the Treasure Pavilion this month has been found. It's the Fourth Prince."

"Fourth Brother?" Yinreng pressed his eyebrows. "Why is he meddling in other people's business?"

The Cao family is behind the Treasure Pavilion and has given him money and beauties several times. He is a loyal family.

Sai Qi said: "A while ago, the Fourth Prince went out with his beautiful wife and was spotted by the Treasure Pavilion's clueless subordinates."

"The Fourth Prince was injured because of this, so he went crazy looking for the person behind it..."

Yinreng sat down and tapped the table with his slender fingers: "What's going on with the Cao family? Why are they collecting so many beauties?"

He even offended his own brother!

"Hmph~ Maybe he's tasted the sweetness from some people and can't stop!" Saiqi sneered, crossed his arms and looked at him.

Yinreng clenched his fists in embarrassment: "I... only accepted two..."

"Two? Aren't the Crown Princesses, concubines, and princesses in the Eastern Palace enough?" Saiqi said this coldly.

There are already so many beauties in the backyard, why bother to collect those dirty ones from outside?

Yinreng pursed his lips, as if to please: "That was a long time ago. The last one has been over half a year..."

He does have some peculiar fetishes, but he has only used them twice over the years, and I heard that both were voluntary.

"You're the Crown Prince. Don't you know that what you do is what you follow?" Saiqi was almost losing his mind. "Because of your influence, the officials below will also follow yours. That's why the Treasure Pavilion needs so many beautiful women!"

The prince only accepted two, but the Treasure Pavilion did not send them to just him, so so many women were harmed.

Yinreng was also annoyed by his tone, and slammed the table and said: "Saiqi! I think you are..."

"What am I?!" Saiqi stood up and looked down at him condescendingly, "Are you arrogant because of your favor?!"

Saiqi already looked like a beautiful jade from a fairy, and now she looked very beautiful when she was angry.

Yinreng was glared at by his handsome face, and his anger subsided a lot. He said patiently, "I didn't say that."

"You know, I didn't ask for it again later. I rejected them all."

Even the two in front had been asked to be taken away and dealt with.

I really don’t have any regrets at all!

Saiqi sneered: "The prince even asked me to come along."

God knows how disgusting he was when the prince came over that day and dragged him into playing with that woman!

Yinreng felt a little embarrassed when he thought of that day. He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed to cover it up: "Ahem, I have changed it..."

He just grew up in this palace and was tired of everything arranged by the emperor, including women.

The Cao family was loyal, and what they gave him was to his liking, so he accepted it.

Originally, all the people and money in this world would belong to him in the future, so what if he enjoyed them in advance?

Even if the emperor found out about a woman, he would just beat her to death and throw her away.

"You should cut off contact with the Treasure Pavilion," Saiqi was unwilling to continue talking to him about this, and said coldly, "I will lead the evidence to someone else."

"But the Fourth Prince seems to have made other moves recently. You can try to test him again..."
