The queen didn't speak, and Jiang Qianbai didn't force her to say, but the two of them sat together quietly, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

The real reason why the queen didn't say that she went to find Yue Qingming was that she didn't want Jiang Qianbai to know that Jiang Qiancheng had gone to find her, and she didn't want him to feel that he was still prejudiced against Jiang Qiancheng, and she finally eased up the relationship, she didn't want to destroy it.

In the end, Yue Wan'er came to the gazebo with the finished pastries, and she broke the somewhat weird atmosphere after she spoke.

"Are you sitting here and not talking?" Yue Wan'er looked at the faces of the two of them helplessly: "Or is it because I am here to influence you to discuss things?" ”

When Yue Wan'er was about to leave here, the queen suddenly said: "Wan'er, don't worry, there is nothing important, what I want to say has been said." ”

Jiang Qianbai also said: "Sit down and rest, don't be busy, just let someone do something." ”

Yue Wan'er looked at Jiang Qianbai's flat face, and then at the smile on the queen's face, thinking that it should be fine, so she nodded and sat down next to the queen.

The queen picked up a piece of pastry made by Yue Wan'er and put it in her mouth, the melt-in-your-mouth taste made the queen feel a little surprised, Yue Wan'er looked like she didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and the pastry she made was actually quite delicious!

She did not hesitate to praise herself: "Wan'er, these pastries are delicious!" ”

Yue Wan'er smiled: "If the queen mother likes it, eat more, or I will make some more for you to take back to the palace." ”

"There's no need for this," the queen smiled: "This palace thinks it's better to make it directly at the palace next time you go to the palace, and the freshly made pastries are the best taste." ”

Yue Wan'er nodded in agreement.

On the other side, in the Bright Moon Building.

Ruyi was standing in front of Yue Qingming, and truthfully reported the situation staring at the third prince to Yue Qingming: "Miss, our people have sent back the news, saying that after the third prince returned to the mansion yesterday, he has not come out again. ”

"Staying in the mansion all the time?"

"Yes," Ruyi replied affirmatively: "We have sent people to watch the front and back doors of the Three Kings' Mansion, but except for the usual personnel entering and leaving the Three Kings' Mansion, there is no other movement. ”

Yue Qingming touched his chin, wasn't the third prince very dissatisfied with the fact that Jiang Qiancheng became the prince of the East Palace? It stands to reason that he should incite people to boycott Jiang Qiancheng, why did he stay in the mansion so honestly and not go out?

Yue Qingming asked again: "Are you sure that there is no secret passage in the Three Kings' Mansion that can lead to the outside world?" ”

"This ......"

Hearing Yue Qingming say this, Ruyi is not sure, but after all, the Three Princes' Mansion is the residence that the emperor rewarded the Three Princes, and the Three Princes were also honest some time ago, and there was no special movement, so naturally no one thought of searching his mansion, so the secret passage or something is indeed unclear.

Yue Qingming thought that if the Three Princes' Mansion had a secret passage to the outside world, it would explain why the Three Princes could still stay in the Mansion honestly at this time and not go out. But how do you get evidence about it?

"Ruyi, who does this third prince usually interact with a lot? Are there any Qinglou women or anything like that? ”

"No," Ruyi replied: "Although the third prince is usually lazy, he is clean and self-conscious, and he never goes to the Fengyue place like the Qinglou, and he has no friends, in the imperial city, there should only be Jiang Qianbai of the Five Princes Mansion who has a good relationship with him." ”

"Jiang Qianbai ......"

Yue Qingming subconsciously frowned, did he want to ask Jiang Qianbai to help him verify this matter? But he is like this for no reason, without any evidence, will Jiang Qianbai choose to help himself?

She sighed, stood up and walked to the window, her eyes fixed on the maids and servants coming and going in the courtyard, and the expression on her face couldn't help but become serious.

Ruyi followed and asked cautiously, "What is Miss thinking?" ”

"I want to use what kind of method I can use to enter the Three Kings' Mansion to check whether there is a secret passage."

Ruyi said: "Miss, since the person who has the best relationship with the third prince is the fifth prince, why don't you go and ask the fifth prince for help?" ”

"I originally thought the same way, but after all, this is just my speculation, not to mention that Jiang Qianbai's situation is not safe now, and he may not be able to help."

"Isn't there still a third lady here? As long as she is willing to speak, the fifth prince will definitely help. ”

Yue Qingming subconsciously frowned, although things were the same as Ruyi said, Jiang Qianbai would definitely help Yue Wan'er in the face, but he was unwilling to let Yue Wan'er do something difficult.

In addition, there is another very important matter, the person who assassinated Jiang Qianbai in the dark night has not been found out, Jiang Qianbai is the safest to stay in the palace now, it is not suitable to go out, presumably Yue Wan'er will not agree to him going out.

Seeing Yue Qingming's worried look, Ruyi hesitated and didn't say anything else, but after walking out of the room, he sent someone to the East Palace to tell Jiang Qiancheng about Yue Qingming's suspicions.

When Jiang Qiancheng learned of Yue Qingming's suspicions, he was a little surprised, there may be a secret passage hidden in the Three Princes' Mansion, which is something he didn't expect, if it is true, then the Three Princes must be planning something unknown behind his back.

Jiang Qiancheng asked Shan Wu, who was standing beside him: "Shan Wu, if you were asked to build a secret passage in the mansion, where would you choose to build the secret passage?" ”

"It should be in the study, or in the bedroom," Yamatake replied, "These two locations are relatively private, and ordinary subordinates are not allowed to enter, so they are suitable for hiding." ”

Jiang Qiancheng nodded, it made sense.

"Yamatake, I'll give you a task."

"Your Highness, please command."

"I will find a way to let the third prince leave the palace for a while, before he goes back, you go inside to help me check if there is really a secret passage."

"Yes!"

About an hour later, an edict came from the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had invited the third prince to enter the palace to go to the imperial study, and there was something important to discuss, and it must not be delayed.

The third prince didn't think too much about it at that time, and set off immediately, but when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he met Jiang Qiancheng, who happened to come.

The third prince was stunned, and the expression on his face suddenly became disdainful: "I didn't expect my father to call you here!" ”

"The third brother laughed, I'm also the prince of the East Palace, why can't I come here?"

"Just because you are now doesn't mean you will always be in the future!"

Jiang Qiancheng smiled: "It seems that the third brother has a lot of opinions about me, but I don't know if you can still be so reasonable in front of your father." ”

“…… You! ”
