At noon, a secret report arrived at the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion quickly, and its receiver was naturally Qi Rui.

The spy arrived at the side hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Qi Rui was drawing on the sand table, not knowing what strategy he was pondering.

"The investigation into the rumors in the capital has made progress." The spy reports for duty.

"Tell me about it."

Hearing this, the secret agent stepped forward and handed Qi Rui a piece of paperwork, before retreating to the lower steps, "My subordinates have found out that the source of this rumor is Zhang Furui, the king of Yong'an. It's just the spread of rumors......"

"Li Yuanai?" Qi Rui apparently noticed the contents of the paperwork.

"That's right, this rumor can be so rampant in the capital, it is becoming more and more unbearable, and it has even reached the ears of the eldest princess, which is indispensable for the instruction of Li Yuanai, the daughter of the right minister." The agent replied to Qi Rui's words.

"Heh," Qi Rui sneered, "What a Li Yuanai, the daughter of a dignified and right-handed minister, didn't be her official lady in the mansion, but she used such inferior means. ”

"I'm worried that I don't have a way to contain the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in my hands, but someone here has handed me a handle...... Qi Rui pondered, "How is the investigation of the role of the daughter of the Right Prime Minister in this matter, but you have the evidence?" ”

"At present, it can be known that Li Yuanai has at least played a role in fueling the troubles, and the key witnesses have been mastered, and the witnesses can be easily obtained with just a cliché," the secret agent hurriedly replied, "The subordinates know that you must be eager to know the latest news, so they first passed on the relationship between them, and I believe that the key evidence can be found today." ”

"Okay, very good, let me continue to keep an eye on Li Yuanai." Qi Rui was overjoyed.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

As soon as Qi Rui sent away the secret agent, he was about to get up and go to Zhang Ying to discuss. This matter is about the Right Prime Minister and King Yong'an, and the truth is very likely to shake the current status of the imperial court. Qi Rui went to Zhang Ying to discuss, not just an excuse to meet, he also wanted to hear Zhang Ying's opinion and see how the royal family would view this matter.

Looking at the princess's courtyard, Zhang Ying was drinking tea and quietly tasting snacks.

After leaving the emperor's palace, Zhang Ying went to the queen mother's palace to find Mu Yunge, but she was disappointed, and the next person told Zhang Ying that Mu Yunge would leave the palace in the morning. Zhang Ying had no choice but to return in a huff.

Just when she was bored, Qi Rui came to visit with the results of the investigation, and Zhang Ying hurriedly welcomed him into the house.

"Tell me what this turned out to be?" Zhang Ying asked Qi Rui anxiously.

Looking at Zhang Ying's hurried appearance, Qi Rui quipped: "The princess cares so much about the result, don't you wait for me to rest and drink tea first?" ”

Zhang Ying also understood that he had just been abrupt, so he had to be embarrassed and said, "You sit down first, I'll help you pour tea." ”

Qi Rui accepted it when he saw it, and said to Zhang Ying: "Don't hide it from the princess, this time the matter is indeed a bit complicated, it's not that I don't want to tell it, but it's inconvenient to tell it with my identity, and you can take a look at this secret report yourself?" ”

After that, Qi Rui passed the secret report to Zhang Ying intact. This matter is very important, and even involves the matter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it is indeed not suitable for Qi Rui to tell the truth himself.

What's more, since this matter needs to be discussed in the long run, they are not in a hurry at this time, and the two must have to discuss it again before they can report the news to the emperor. Therefore, Qi Rui was not eager, but tasted the tea carefully.

Looking at the letter paper in her hand, Zhang Ying was silent, obviously she didn't expect that this rumor in the capital to slander the saint was actually widely implicated.

After a while, Zhang Ying spoke: "In other words, this matter originated from Zhang Furui, the king of Yong'an, and later Li Yuanai, the daughter of the right minister, came in and intervened?" ”

"That's right, as the princess said, we have now mastered the movement of Zhang Furui's rumors, and we only need to inform the emperor of the truth, and we can already make a difference......," Qi Rui should have arrived.

"It's just Li Yuanai's business......" Zhang Ying said hesitantly.

Li Yuanai, as the daughter of the right minister, was involved in the rumors that made the saint Longyan angry, and this fact really embarrassed Zhang Ying.

It will not be long before the emperor's election day, when Qi Mei will enter the palace, this Li Yuanai, as the daughter of the right minister, will also enter the palace. Just looking at the situation in front of him, it seems that Li Yuanai can't hold it anymore.

"The princess found out too? As far as Li Yuanai's identity is concerned, if the truth of this matter is made public, the consequences are too sensitive. ”

"What's more......" Qi Rui said embarrassedly, "What's more, my sister is about to enter the palace, and the most worrying thing is that Li Yuanai." If you can temporarily suppress this matter and grasp it in your hands, it will also have an extra handle, and your eyebrows will also have an extra layer of protection. ”

Hearing Qi Rui's words, Zhang Ying was silent for a moment and analyzed: "At present, you don't have detailed evidence for Li Yuanai's involvement in this matter, presumably this Li Yuanai is also a cautious master." First, the evidence is insufficient, and such a sensitive matter should not have been reported to the emperor; Second, if she is such a thoughtful person, I will indeed worry about Mei'er's safety. ”

Zhang Yingneng said this, he was looking for steps for Qi Rui, and he also found a hole card for Qi Mei, how could Qi Rui not be moved: "The princess can understand my intentions, this is the best." ”

Zhang Ying was a little unmoved: "It's just because Li Yuanai hid too deeply, and you couldn't find and find evidence in time." ”

When Qi Rui heard Li Yuanai say this, he was not annoyed, but replied in a matter-of-fact manner: "What the princess blames is that Weichen is not doing well. After Weichen returns home, he will immediately start to continue investigating this matter and strive to grasp Li Yuanai's evidence as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Ying chuckled lightly and said, "Are you still in a hurry to go home today?" The princess's courtyard can still hold a dinner for Prince Qi, right? ”

How could Qi Rui not hear the meaning of Zhang Ying's words, he was suddenly overjoyed, and said in response: "Then Weichen is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

Zhang Ying restrained her playful expression and said sincerely: "Having said that, you can't relax Li Yuanai, you must keep an eye on her in secret." I'm worried that she won't succeed in this matter, and she will make another move, I'm afraid it will hurt Mei'er and Yunge. ”

Qi Rui also replied: "Please rest assured that this matter is related to the safety of my sister and the honor of the royal family, Qi Rui cannot treat it hastily, and will definitely grasp it firmly." ”

Hearing Qi Rui's reply, Zhang Ying was also relieved, and said softly, "Well, I believe you." ”

When it comes to Mu Yunge, she has already left the palace at this time and is in the palace of the Protector General.

It turned out that early this morning, she learned the news that the old lady was seriously ill. The messenger said that he was seriously ill, but did not explain the specific situation of the old lady.

Mu Yunge was naturally very worried, and he couldn't even swallow a few mouthfuls of breakfast, so he finally tossed it, went out of the palace again, and went to the Protector General's Mansion in person to visit the old lady.
