"Thanks to Miss Jiang's reminder, we started our investigation into the Treasure Pavilion with the Seventh Prince. Sure enough, we discovered that he had connections to the Treasure Pavilion. Even the assassin who appeared in the Treasure Pavilion last time was sent by him..."

Zhou Zhi recounted the incident briefly before mentioning the reason for their presence today. "Master originally wanted to follow the clues to find out more, so he followed us here. However, he didn't expect the people from the Treasure Pavilion to be so vigilant. They actually took advantage of the Autumn Banquet with so many people and eyes, and escaped our surveillance with the clues."

He said it simply in a few words, but since Pei Zhanzhou came in person, there was no reason to let that person escape so easily.

The.

Jiang Wansang was always smart and figured it out almost instantly. "That man was able to escape because someone was here to pick him up today?"

Zhou Zhi didn't respond, but the surprise on his face clearly showed that he didn't expect her to react so quickly and guess so accurately.

Zhou Zhi didn't say much, but Jiang Wansang was so smart that he had already guessed what had happened today. "Was the person who secretly contacted us arranged by the Seventh Prince Su Huanyu?"

Although the guests invited to this autumn banquet were all well-known young men and women, most of them were from families with lower backgrounds than the Zhao family in the imperial city. Su Huanyu, a legitimate prince, was considered to have the highest status among these people.

It was simply because he usually hung out in brothels with the playboys in the imperial city, and his figure could be seen almost everywhere there were crowds of people, so his appearance here today did not seem abrupt at all.

But Jiang Wansang didn't believe in coincidences, especially since this happened to Su Huanyu, the child of destiny.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Zhi shook his head, "It's not about providing support, it's about silencing. All the people and things that escaped from the Treasure Pavilion were destroyed. The clues we found point to the prince."

If it weren't for Miss Jiang's advance explanation and the master's test of the Seventh Prince, they would probably have really suspected the Crown Prince.

Jiang Wansang was stunned for a moment, then understood in an instant.

It was she who exposed Su Huanyu's disguise in front of Pei Zhanzhou in advance and revealed the secret of Zhenxiu Pavilion. That's why Pei Zhanzhou, who did not appear at the Autumn Banquet in the book, appeared here to investigate the matter and even helped her achieve her goal today.

But Su Huanyu is the son of destiny after all, so he can not only cut off the clues found by Pei Zhanzhou at the last moment, but also divert the blame to the prince.

I have to say that Su Huanyu is truly the author's favorite male protagonist.

Cruel enough, decisive enough, and smart enough.

After learning what had happened, Jiang Wansang turned his gaze to Pei Zhanzhou, "What is the next step, Imperial Master?"

Pei Zhanzhou had just learned the follow-up from Zhou Zhi, but he didn't look surprised at all.

Since Su Huanyu had been able to hide for so many years, it was not so easy for him to be found. However, he did not expect that he could prepare such sufficient evidence pointing to the prince in such a short time.

Su Huanyu's power was probably hidden deeper than he expected.

Facing Jiang Wansang's question, Pei Zhanzhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by a counselor?"

Jiang Wansang: "..."

She was not surprised at all when these words came out of Pei Zhanzhou's mouth.

After being speechless for a while, Jiang Wansang suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

Her original purpose in coming to Pei Zhanzhou was to ask him to set a trap for Su Huanyu, but she wasted so much time just because of Jiang Zihan.

Now that Pei Zhanzhou had taken the initiative to ask, she didn't hide it anymore. "Everyone knows that the assassins from Zhenxiu Pavilion were targeting the case in Jianzhou. Since the Imperial Preceptor has already found the Crown Prince, why not create another identical piece of evidence, only this time the evidence points to the Third Prince."

Jiang Wansang smiled like a little fox, "When the time comes, hand over the two pieces of evidence to them separately, and then reveal that the other party has a piece of evidence with a different name..."

The two who are fighting the most fiercely in the court now are the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. Once they catch each other's handle, they will strike back without mercy.

But if they knew that the other party had the same evidence, they would not dare to act rashly and would even have more doubts.

They all knew that the assassins from the Treasure Pavilion were not sent by them, so why did such evidence exist, implicating both of them?

Unless a third party intervenes.

None of those who can stand out in the battle for the throne are easy to deal with.

As long as a few more details are revealed at that time, the fox tail that Su Huanyu has hidden for so many years will be revealed.

Jiang Wansang didn't say the following words, but she knew Pei Zhanzhou could understand.

Talking to smart people is so simple. In just a few words, you can understand what the other person means and respond as quickly as possible. "This country teacher will take care of this matter."

But Jiang Wansang shook her head, "No rush."

She reached out and took the teacup that Pei Zhanzhou had been holding, poured it aside with a quick movement, and then filled it up with her own hands.

Pei Zhanzhou half leaned back in his chair, his movements casual and relaxed, yet he exuded a noble aura.

He watched Jiang Wansang's actions and did not stop her, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

There was no reason, he intuitively felt that Jiang Wansang's action was because he disliked the fact that this cup of tea was poured for him by Jiang Zihan just now.

Jiang Wansang put the poured teacup back into Pei Zhanzhou's hand.

Because he leaned forward, the distance between the two became closer, and a sweet fragrance quietly penetrated into Pei Zhanzhou's nostrils.

There was no scent of rouge and powder like those women wore, only a faint scent of soap, dry and refreshing, which did not disgust him.

Pei Zhanzhou gently turned the teacup in his hand and sat up a little straighter.

Jiang Wansang was pouring herself tea and didn't notice the almost imperceptible abnormality in his expression.

She took the initiative to hold up her teacup and gently clinked it with Pei Zhanzhou's. "Since we are all planning to plot against Su Huanyu, why don't you wait a little longer, Master Imperial Master? Once I have completed what I want to do, that will be the best time to act."

Hearing this, Pei Zhanzhou suddenly remembered that she had forced Jiang Zihan to make a bet and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Wansang raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a few days."

She reached out again and clinked glasses with Pei Zhanzhou, smiling like a cat stealing some fish.

Pei Zhanzhou was not a curious person, but seeing her like this, his curiosity was inexplicably aroused and he felt a little itchy in his heart.

He looked sideways at Jiang Wansang, gently stroking the teacup with his fingertips, then curled the corners of his mouth slightly and raised his hand to drink the warm tea.

He had a premonition that the dead silent imperial city was about to be thrown into chaos.

Jiang Wansang lost interest in the autumn banquet and simply stayed in the teahouse. He took Zheliu to eat and drink his fill, and asked the store owner to pack up two delicious pastries.

Of course, it was Pei Zhanzhou who paid.

Zhe Liu kept his head down the whole time and didn't even dare to breathe. When he saw Jiang Wansang calmly ordering Pei Zhanzhou to pay the money, his heart was in his throat.

It wasn't until she came out of the teahouse that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, you are so brave."

Seeing her frightened look, Jiang Wansang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She was about to open her mouth to comfort Zheliu and tell him to slowly get used to it, because such situations would surely happen more often in the future, but she didn't expect an angry voice to suddenly come from behind her: "Your young lady is really very brave!"
