Looking at the lock on the door, Li Shimin asked the little official: "Didn't you say that Princess Jinyang would stay here tonight?" What about people? ”

The little official was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Jinyang told me this at that time, and a quarter ......of an hour ago, I also changed the hot tea for Princess Jinyang, and she was in it at the time."

Du Junxuan interrupted him rudely: "What about Princess Jinyang now?" ”

"I ...... I don't know ......," replied the little official, trembling.

"Is Princess Jinyang out?" Du Junxuan asked again.

The little official thought for a while: "I...... I went to inspect other places just now, and I don't know if Princess Jinyang has gone out. ”

Li Shimin was upset when he heard this, and instructed Du Junxuan: "You take someone to look for it carefully and see if Princess Jinyang is in the household department." ”

"Yes." Du Junqiu immediately took someone to find it.

Soon, Du Junxuan came back: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Jinyang is not in the household department. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his feet and walked outside: "Since she didn't leave the palace and is not here, she must have returned to Wuyu Palace." ”

Wuyu Palace is Wang Yu's residence in the palace, and it has the same name as the courtyard where she lived in the Qin Palace.

Du Junxuan chased after him: "Your Highness, are you going to Wuyu Palace?" It's a harem, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go. ”

Li Shimin paused, and then casually pointed to an attendant: "You go to Wuyu Palace to see if Princess Jinyang is there." ”

"Yes." The chamberlain took the order and left.

......

At this moment, Wang Yu had already sneaked into Shangshu Province.

She cautiously avoided the officials who stayed behind, and took advantage of the dim sky to quietly approach the room where Shang Shu's left servant was shooting.

With Pei Lian's person, the important things must be placed in his room. And she had already observed during the day, only the room of the two servants was locked, which meant that there was something very important inside.

Wang Yu decided to go to these two rooms to explore.

Instead of entering through the main entrance of the room, she went around to the window next to her, took out her dagger, and little by little removed the wooden bolt from the window.

"Click!"

There was a soft thud.

Wang Yu raised the corners of his mouth, and after putting away the dagger, he opened the window and jumped in.

When she landed, her foot seemed to have hit something, and she quickly stretched out her hands, grabbed the object, and then flipped her body.

In the end, Wang Yu lay on her back to the ground, and her things were intact in her arms.

A false alarm.

Wang Yu slowly stood up, carefully put the vase in his arms aside, and then closed the window.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Did you hear me?" There is sound inside. ”

"How is that possible? The key to this room is on Pei Fuji, he has already left the palace, you must have heard it wrong. ”

"Really?"

Immediately, Wang Yu saw a shadow close to the door and listened to the sound inside.

"Strange, did I hear it wrong?"

"Let's go, don't be suspicious."

Outside, it gradually calmed down.

Only then did Wang Yu raise his feet and began to rummage through with the help of the faint moonlight.

She searched very carefully, and did not let go of any corners, including the dark grid.

Unfortunately, nothing suspicious was found.

Finally, she came to the bookcase, on which in addition to pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, there were several books and albums.

She flipped through the folds for a moment, then picked up the album and looked at it again.

The album was published by the Shiwen Society, and there is nothing suspicious......

Suddenly, something fell out of the album, and Wang Yu reacted quickly and caught it in time.

It's a copper plate.

Wang Yu pinched the copper plate with two fingers and put it in the moonlight, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his hand and checked it.

Then, she put the copper plate into her bag and continued to look through the album.

When he flipped to the album at the bottom, Wang Yu found a bookmark.

A poem was written on the bookmark, signed "Qinglan Jushi", which appeared to be a woman's name.

Wang Yu picked up the bookmark and put it under his nose and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance of orchids.

After reading it, she put the bookmark back in its place, and then put the things on the bookcase in the original position.

Eventually, she jumped out of the window and moved the bolt back into place.

Next, she went to the room where Shang Shu's right servant shot.

......

Wuyu Palace.

"The prince sent me to greet Princess Jinyang." The chamberlain said to the guard.

The guard said, "Princess Jinyang is not here, and we have not received any news that the Duke of Jinyang is coming to Wuyu Palace." ”

Hearing this, the chamberlain turned around and left.

At this moment, the chamberlain saw a little Langjun walking towards him in front of him, and looking at his figure, it seemed to be Princess Jinyang.

He hurriedly greeted him, and after seeing his face clearly, he immediately saluted: "I've seen Princess Jinyang." ”

Wang Yu stared at his face for a while, and then remembered that he was a newly assigned chamberlain to the East Palace, so he asked with a smile: "It was the prince who asked you to come to me, what's the matter?" ”

The chamberlain replied respectfully: "The prince and the princess heard that you were going to stay in the household department tonight, and they were worried that you would not eat well, so the prince sent you some things, but you were not in the household department."

"So, the prince asked me to come to Wuyu Palace to have a look."

After a pause, the chamberlain asked, "Dare to ask Princess Jinyang, where did you go just now?" ”

"Oh, I'm just tired of reading the account books, so I went for a walk in the garden."

After dealing with it casually, Wang Yu began to rush people: "I'm going back to Wuyu Palace, you go back and tell the crown princess that I will go to greet her early tomorrow morning." ”

After saying that, she went straight around him and walked towards Wuyu Palace.

The chamberlain turned around and watched Wang Yu walk into the Wuyu Palace before returning to the East Palace.

After returning to the East Palace, the chamberlain reported to Li Shimin in 1510.

Looking at the books?

This little girl is quite diligent, Li Shimin praised it in his heart, and then ordered someone to send the food prepared by the eldest grandson to Wuyu Palace.

The next day, Wang Yu first went to the court meeting, then went to ask Li Yuan for peace, and then went to the East Palace to ask Li Shimin and the eldest grandson for peace.

After that, Wang Yu returned to the household department and continued to read the account books.

In the afternoon, Wang Yu put down the last account book and stretched: "Finally finished reading." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at the account books he had seen, but it was only a box, and it really couldn't be compared with Wang Yu.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his indifference.

Xiao Yu asked, "Do you see any suspicions?" ”

"Well, I found it." There was a light smile on the corner of Wang Yu's mouth.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu got up and walked over and sat down opposite her: "Tell me, what have you found?" ”

Wang Yu took out an account book from the ground and opened it to Xiao Yu: "You see, since February of the seventh year of Wude, the number of coins has not increased much, but the loss has been increasing.

"If you look at the last few months, it's not very noticeable, but the attrition has been growing.

"By the end of the seventh year of Wude, a total of ...... will be lost"

Wang Yu took the pen and counted it on the paper and showed it to Xiao Yu.

Next, Wang Yu calculated the loss of Wude's eight years.

When Xiao Yu saw the back, his face had turned pale, and his last fist was hammered on the case: "This Pei Lin is simply a moth in the imperial court." ”

Wang Yu: "Do you know how to deal with those losses?" ”

"Reinvent the wheel." Xiao Yu replied.

Wang Yu shook his head: "It's not ......"
