In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Before leaving, Wanpin specifically instructed her personal maid, "Cui'er, please take good care of Miss Su."

After saying this, Concubine Wan turned around and left with the Prime Minister.

"Yes, my lady." Cui'er quickly agreed.

After seeing Concubine Wan and the Prime Minister leave, Su Zhizhi followed Cui'er, looking around the Prime Minister's Mansion trying to find some clues.

But before Su Zhizhi could find anything suspicious, Cui'er discovered her action.

After Cui'er brought Su Zhizhi to the assigned room, she warned her sternly, "Miss Su, please remember that your area of ​​activity is limited to your room and the kitchen. You must not wander around without the permission of the Empress and the Prime Minister, lest you offend any important figures. I believe Miss Su is smart and doesn't want to cause trouble for herself, right?"

Su Zhizhi didn't expect that her little thoughts would be discovered so quickly, and she couldn't help but sigh that the maid of the Prime Minister's family was indeed so cautious.

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss. I was just curious. After all, I have never been to such a distinguished family. With your words, I will definitely behave myself and will never run around." Su Zhizhi vowed to Cui'er.

"That's fine. If you need anything, I'll assign you two maids to serve you. Just tell them if you need anything. I have something else to do, and the queen is waiting for my service. I'll be leaving first."

Cui'er briefly explained everything to Su Zhizhi, then turned around and left in a hurry.

After Su Zhizhi saw Cui'er leave completely, she quickly walked around the house and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, Su Zhizhi took out a camera from the universal capsule and installed it in the corner of the room to prevent any accidents from happening. She was afraid that someone would harm her during her stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it was better to be careful.

In the next few days, Su Zhizhi basically stayed in her own room. Apart from making some food for Wanpin as usual every day, she had no contact with Xu Chao.

This morning.

Cui'er knocked on Su Zhizhi's room early in the morning.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Miss Su, my mistress asked me to tell you to pack up quickly because we are going back to the palace." Cui'er's voice came from outside the door.

Su Zhizhi was a little surprised after hearing this. He went back so early? She hadn't found out anything yet, let alone had no chance to contact Xu Chao.

Su Zhizhi pretended to be calm and replied, "Okay, I got it. I'll start packing now."

Hearing Su Zhizhi's words, Cui'er couldn't help but remind her again, "Miss Su, please hurry up. We will leave immediately after the Queen and the Prime Minister finish discussing important matters in the back garden."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Su Zhizhi quickly agreed after hearing that.

Discuss something? Does that mean the office is empty?

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly took out a cloak from the universal capsule, covered herself tightly, and then slipped out quietly.

After all, this was the last time she would be closest to the study, so she had to give it a try no matter what.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi became more cautious and careful to avoid the servants and maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Perhaps it was God's help that Su Zhizhi had a very smooth journey. She avoided the heirs and maids on the road one by one, and then successfully sneaked into Xu Chao's study.

The study is usually a necessary place for ministers to discuss things, and it is also the fastest place where secrets can be stolen immediately, so Su Zhizhi plans to install a camera here to eavesdrop on Xu Chao and others to see if he can get any useful information.

After installing the mini surveillance camera, Su Zhizhi returned to her room without anyone noticing.

After simply packing her luggage, Su Zhizhi followed Wanpin's team back to the palace.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Su Zhizhi couldn't wait to turn on the camera in Xu Chao's study, fearing that he had missed something. Unfortunately, the result disappointed him greatly. There was nothing in Xu Chao's study for several days in a row. Xu Chao had never entered the kitchen at all, let alone obtained any useful information.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but feel very depressed. In addition, Wanpin's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was becoming more and more difficult to serve. Her food was becoming more and more picky. In order to please Wanpin, she stayed in the kitchen all day studying recipes and dealing with the stove. She had no time to take care of herself at all, so Su Zhizhi often stayed in the kitchen with a dusty look.

Su Zhizhi was busy with her own things every day and had long forgotten about Xie Chengjin. However, Xie Chengjin felt that he had not seen Su Zhizhi for a long time and missed her very much. So he took advantage of the time when the emperor summoned him to the palace to sneak out and come to the imperial kitchen to chat with Su Zhizhi.

At this time, Su Zhizhi was concentrating on cooking and didn't notice that there was someone behind her.

Xie Chengjin also had the intention of teasing Su Zhizhi today. He looked at Su Zhizhi for a long time without saying a word, until Su Zhizhi turned around to get the vegetable bowl and accidentally discovered Xie Chengjin.

"Hey, when did you come? Why didn't you say a word?" Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin in shock.

"I've been here for a while. I saw you concentrating on studying the dishes, so I didn't have the heart to disturb you." Xie Chengjin said truthfully.

Su Zhizhi saw this and didn't know what to say. "Okay, next time, remember not to hide quietly behind people. After all, scaring people can kill them."

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin and emphasized.

After saying that, Su Zhizhi took out a small palm-sized tablet and handed it to Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi with a puzzled look on his face, "What is this?"

Su Zhizhi scratched her head guiltily, then immediately explained, "This is called surveillance. It's specifically used to monitor what others are doing. I installed it in Xu Chao's room so I can monitor what he does every day, who he talks to in his study, and what they say."

Xie Chengjin looked enlightened after hearing this, "So that's how it is."

"Yes, you can help me check the surveillance footage to monitor Xu Chao and see what he is plotting behind the scenes." Su Zhizhi nodded and emphasized.

"Okay, I understand. I will keep a close eye on the surveillance." Xie Chengjin nodded and agreed.

"Oh, by the way, I'm here today mainly to inform you of something very important." Xie Chengjin spoke to Su Zhizhi with a serious face, as if he had thought of something.

"What's the matter?" Su Zhizhi felt a bad premonition when she saw Xie Chengjin speaking so seriously.

"His Majesty will hold a hunting banquet in three days. Prime Minister Xu personally asked you to accompany Concubine Wan to attend the hunting banquet. I suspect he has guessed your motive for approaching Concubine Wan. You must be more careful in your next actions." Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi with a serious face.
