"The person is missing? What do you mean?" Yuan Jing put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes, and glanced at the person in front of him indifferently.

Although the young emperor has only succeeded to the throne for more than a year, he naturally has an oppressive power, just like his radiant beauty, which is hard to resist.

Fortunately, Shen Sishu has been hanging out with him for a long time, and his face has already been tempered. Hearing this, he laughed dryly, "It means literally."

"The mighty imperial guards, with hundreds of elites, can't stand a woman who doesn't know martial arts and is also poisoned?"

"Uh, well, actually, when she was resettled yesterday, the stewards in charge of hospitality took her as a family member and placed her in the backyard. She was not with the brothers." Speaking of yesterday's oolong, Shen Sishu also had a headache.

The key point was that the assassins made trouble before, and the plan to enter the city was urgently changed. This manor was actually understaffed. was busy inquiring about the news in the city, so really didn't have time to take care of this idler.

At first, I thought it was impossible for her to run around like a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts. I didn't expect people to have such guts!

"But it doesn't matter if you run away, anyway, the origin has been found out." Shen Sishu laughed.

Yuan Jing raised his eyelids, motioning for him to continue.

Shen Sishu raised his voice and continued: "According to the carriage, it has been found out that it belongs to Lu Dewen's family, the former prefect of Anqing Prefecture, and it belongs to their second daughter. The identities of the three people have also been found out, and the one who died of serious head injuries is Ju'er, the maid of the Lu family, and the other two are local ruffians. Among them, Boss Cai is a very popular character in the local people. I heard that he has just received a big business recently. The concubine with the mother's eyes is going to another place."

"In addition, the second young lady of the Lu family was born to Mrs. Lu's first wife, and she is very different from the current wife."

"Lu Dewen, who is Sheng'an's 14th year's prospect? The one who said in last year's evaluation that he was dedicated to his duties and had a clear understanding of every detail?" Yuan Jing thought for a while and asked immediately.

"Exactly." Shen Sishu was convinced. The person in front of him is so intelligent that he knows the resume of any random fourth-rank official.

Yuan Jing laughed lowly: "It seems that this discernment is only for official business, and the inner house is in a mess."

"Yes, the inner house is confused, and I have to trouble Your Majesty to rectify it for him."

Yuan Jing glared at him.

Shen Sishu shook his fan and said with a smile: "I understand, we still have important things to do now, let's talk about these trivial matters of the house later."

"Send someone to beat and beat first, so as not to be in vain."

Folding the fan of Shen Sishu, he smiled and bowed: "I understand. Mr. Lu is actually quite honest as an official. This Lu Second Young Lady, speaking of it, this Miss Mantou will still be in the draft by Your Majesty next year." .”

The corner of Yuan Jing's mouth twitched: "Do you think I'm so hungry?"

"Uh, I'm talking too much." Shen Sishu hurriedly lowered his head. Respectfully send this ancestor out of the house.

Seeing the people walking away, couldn't help muttering in a low voice, eating too much chicken, duck and fish would make you tired, maybe you might want to eat a mouthful of steamed buns.

Wu Jie didn't know that she left, what would Shen Sishu think.

Anyway, once he left, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Living in the mansion, she found that she seemed to have returned to the noble life of the former princess.

This Great Wei's hospitality is really polite, even his own maid is so meticulous?

Putting down the spoon, looking at the dozens of dishes on the table, Wu Jie felt a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Zihui, feel free to enjoy it. These are the envoys' orders. Now several envoys are staying in the Prince Fu's Mansion, so it's a waste to leave them alone. You might as well use them first." The serving maid was clever and thoughtful. , seemed to see her doubts, and immediately explained.

It sounds like it makes sense. Wu Jie scooped up a spoonful of mushroom ball soup. The fresh and tender fish meat was wrapped in crab roe, combined with the fragrance of mushrooms, the taste was unusually delicious.

In the blink of an eye, have lived in the mansion for two days, and the tense and exciting father-daughter meeting that imagined never happened. Because Prince De and his party had a good discussion with Prince Fu, they stayed at Prince Fu's Mansion these days.

Prince Fu himself has always been generous and hospitable, and he likes to attract all kinds of strange people, so it is normal for the envoys to stay in the mansion.

It's useless for Wu Jie to be anxious, she is a maid and has no excuse to go to Prince Fu's Mansion.

I can only obediently live in this cold and lonely mansion. Besides her, there were three hundred guard soldiers from Dongyue and some servants in the mansion. It is impossible to enter the inner house, so now she is the only one living in the back house of the entire mansion.

After dinner, Wu Jie put on her coat. Walking in the front garden for a while, saw a figure hurried in.

Little Mo took off his cloak, shook it, and the falling snow rustled down.

"It's snowing so much outside, I thought you wouldn't come here today." Wu Jie greeted with a smile. During the few days when she stayed in the mansion, Little Mo would come every day to care about her daily diet. While Wu Jie was moved, she was also a little surprised.

Little Mo laughed and said, "It's just some small snowflakes. Jinwu is close to the East China Sea, and the weather is warm. You won't know what heavy snow is until you go to Capital City."

"Ha, then maybe I won't have the chance to meet you." Wu Jie laughed, she didn't want to go to that place again in her life.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Little Mo's eyes, and he pulled himself together and looked at Wu Jie's cheeks: "Your appearance has recovered a lot today."

"Thank you also for the medicinal materials." Wu Jie said sincerely.

After sending her to the mansion a few days ago, Little Mo immediately invited a doctor to help her diagnose and treat her. Wu Jie didn't want people to notice her poisoning, so she simply lied and said that it was her chronic disease, which happened to happen, but she lost all the pills she carried when she fell into the water.

Little Mo immediately asked for the prescription, and Wu Jie gave him the prescription of Master Guangxin. After half a day's work, he ordered someone to prepare it and send it to the mansion.

The made pill Yuxue is lovely, with a hint of sweetness. After taking it, the edema on the face was greatly relieved, and after only three or two days, the appearance has recovered to a good degree.

This appearance, presumably when the father saw it, he would not fail to recognize it.

"Have you had dinner just now?" Little Mo greeted.

"I've eaten. Come out for a walk when you're bored." Wu Jie laughed.

"Then do you still have an appetite, try this?" Little Mo lifted the thing in his hand, and Wu Jie found it was a food box this time.

"This is the glutinous rice balls from Dongcheng. When I passed by the store, I remembered that you in Dongyue eat this during the New Year's Eve."

Wu Jie was taken aback. She was so preoccupied these days that she didn't notice that it was New Year's Eve.

I couldn't help but reached out to take it, "Thank you, I've been so confused these past few days that I forgot about my life." She was also curious, "Today is the New Year's Eve, don't you need to be with your family?"

"My family is in Capital City and the Northwest. Now there is only one foster brother in Jinwu. He is out of town on business."

Wu Jie knew that his foster brother was the Fourth Brother Yin whom he had met before.

After receiving the food box, she couldn't wait to open it, and a burst of sweet smell came out. A dozen round little things floated in the white soup. Although ate a lot for dinner, the familiar aroma still made index finger move.

There was a spoon in the food box, Wu Jie picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweet scent is very familiar, it seems to be the sweet-scented osmanthus honey stuffing that Qianzifang's family is best at.

"Is there a branch of Qianzifang in Jinwu?"

"It's really eaten by you. There is a restaurant outside the city." Little Mo laughed.

The handsome young man in the back interjected, "But in Liangchuan Town, 30 miles east of the city, our young master ran all afternoon to buy this thing."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Little Mo's face, "Don't listen to his nonsense. It's a bit cold, let the slaves warm it up first."

After hearing these words, Wu Jie suddenly felt that this bowl of glutinous rice balls was not easy to swallow, so she handed it to the maid next to her, "That's fine."

The maid took the food box and carried it down.

The two stood in the corridor. In order to relieve the embarrassment in her heart, Wu Jie said, "You left the city this afternoon? Has Jin Wu's ban been lifted?"

"No, I left in the name of going out of town on business." Little Mo readily admitted that he was using public affairs for personal gain.

Wu Jie was speechless.

Little Mo continued to sigh, "It's not a solution if Jinwu City is always closed. I went out to the town today and saw a lot of passenger ships that couldn't advance or retreat, so I had to stay in a nearby town for the New Year."

Wu Jie nodded, "Prince Fu's Mansion said they wanted to search for the Southern Dynasty assassins, but it's been a few days. Keeping the city gates closed will be extremely inconvenient for the people's lives."

"There are so many people stranded in the town, and there are many idlers during the New Year's Eve, so there have been many incidents. In the town I went to today, there was a family of officials named Lu just now. When his wife was going out, she was hit by a startled horse. The legs are broken and the injuries are serious, but the person who caused the accident ran away without a trace."

The wife of the official surnamed Lu...couldn't be Lu Pingting's family. Wu Jie thought inexplicably, if it was really the Yang family, it would be considered heavenly justice, and the retribution would be unsatisfactory.

"Tianli" sneezed and looked at the document in his hand.

Shen Sishu said next to him: "General Lin has already inspected the corpses of those assassins. Judging from the clothes, fabrics and weapons, they are all produced by Youzhou Prefecture in the northwest. The garrison near Jinwu City has inspected them again. In recent days, more than a hundred people have been transferred very frequently, so it’s hard to be sure for a while. In addition, the forbidden army has also checked and checked, and two people have been locked.”

"Don't be alarmed, just wait and see what happens." Yuan Jing ordered.

He closed the newspaper and said coldly: "My Uncle Wang, I have lived a rich life for too long, and even my mind is full of fat."

It's just hateful that he had to launch it at this time. If it was a year or two later, he wouldn't be so restrained, and he would have to sneak into Jinwu City by himself.

Shen Sishu said with a smile: "Master Huang and the others have already surrendered, the emperor's trip will be successful immediately." In the past two days, Yuan Jing secretly summoned several people in power in the government office. Several people immediately showed their chariots and horses, and shouted long live three times.

Although the layout behind the scenes was pretty sure, no matter what, Jinwu City would inevitably be in chaos. There are also people from East Vietnam who were involved for no reason along the way, and the Yelan Country war that was delayed. Yuan Jing gritted her teeth in hatred.
