A gray dove took advantage of the night and flew into the palace wall without alarming anyone.

After Xiao Cheng took the note from the pigeon's leg, he had some expectations in his heart before opening it.

At present, there is no news of the queen's return to the palace, maybe it really happens.

But when she read the contents of the note, the disappointment on her face flashed, and she sighed unhappily and burned the note.

"A bunch of trash."

She scolded, such a good opportunity can fail, it's not a waste or something.

And if she fails, she dares to urge her to do it immediately, isn't this just to send her to death!

What a bunch of fools, Xiao Cheng's hand on the table clenched into a fist.

She tilted her head, wondering if the group would be able to make it happen.

Without much thought, she wrote a letter and stuffed it back into the pigeon's lap and released it.

Yin Zhige looked at Zhong Xiaoshu and asked softly, Zhong Xiaoshu was stunned for a while and shook his head.

"I don't think any of them look like people who would do such a thing."

Her tone was very firm, unquestionable, Yin Zhige raised her eyebrows.

"Qing'er has been with you since we were in the palace, so we can rule out suspicion.

But what about the summer peach? She didn't follow you from the moment you were down. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't understand what he meant, "You doubt her?" Why? ”

Yin Zhige hooked his lips, "I'm not suspicious of her, but you have to judge for yourself." ”

"I don't think they're going to betray me, maybe someone else is here, and it's not fair to be able to press the charges against them without an investigation."

Listening to Yin Zhige's words, Zhong Xiaoshu's anger was hooked, and Yin Zhige saw that she was a little angry, so he had to smile and apologize.

The next day, Zhong Xiaoshu began to secretly investigate this matter, and the first person to investigate was the people from Kunning Palace.

Knowing her whereabouts and leaking it out, the first person to bear the brunt is the people in her palace.

Everyone was checked, and some people thought something was wrong, and they were so frightened that they couldn't stand on their feet, and there was nothing wrong with checking it out.

Zhong Xiaoshu had no choice but to expand the scope, although it was a secret investigation, but this movement was not small at all.

There was no way, Zhong Xiaoshu had to find an excuse to perfunctory the past.

"Two days ago, when the queen went out of the palace to visit friends, she lost something in the palace, and I heard that it was the mother's favorite jewelry, and now she is looking for it all over the palace."

"Wow, who is so bold to go to Kunning Palace to steal something."

"Who knows, let's go."

Several little palace maids gathered together and whispered, and when they saw Xiao Cheng passing by, they immediately scattered.

Xiao Cheng has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they thought that nothing would happen when they dispersed, but in fact, Xiao Cheng had already heard seven or eight points of what he said.

Losing a piece of her favorite jewelry, she sneered, and the trick of covering her ears and stealing the bell was really childish.

In the afternoon, a pigeon flew out of the courtyard wall of the cold palace and flew south to land outside a ruined temple.

It didn't take long for someone to take the letter from the pigeon's lap.

"Check out suspicious people in the palace, don't be a bird."

"Xiao Cheng, what do you mean by this? Let's keep being a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

Someone was dissatisfied, "It was her luck to let that slut escape last time, I don't believe she can have such good luck next time!" ”

"Investigation in the palace, presumably martial law has also been imposed in the city, be careful in doing things these days, don't be followed, your identity will be exposed."

The person in the middle said lightly after reading the note, "They must have noticed something, was it exposed in the Second Wang's Mansion last time?" ”

He looked at a person, and the person's face changed and he shook his head repeatedly, "How is it possible, I have been hiding very well, it is impossible for anyone to find me, it is definitely not me." ”

"That is, the person who was arrested before had a bad mouth, and something leaked out."

The man laughed, "Okay, don't go out these days, and don't contact the palace." ”

With that, he left, and the rest of the people looked at each other, each with some fear on their faces.

After Xiao Cheng finished sending the letter, she continued to do things and wait for a reply, but there was no reply for several days, and she began to wonder if she had been cut off.

But if she was really cut off, then if you look for her according to the handwriting, you shouldn't have found her a long time ago.

There were some doubts in her heart, and she didn't have a chance to confirm it.

Zhong Xiaoshu checked for several days, but there was no gain, she even knocked Qing'er and Xia Zhitao on the side, maybe her skills were too poor and she didn't ask anything.

It made her a little depressed.

"I've checked for so many days, everything is normal, nothing is wrong, it's not Xia Zhitao and Qing'er, is it that we are going in the wrong direction, maybe it wasn't Xia Guoren at all?"

Zhong Xiaoshu began to doubt his judgment, Yin Zhige raised his eyebrows, and his hands kept moving.

"And who do you think it is?"

This question made her pout, and without hearing Zhong Xiaoshu's answer, Yin Zhige raised his eyes to look at her and smiled.

"Recently, there have been a lot of strange things going on in the city, and there are even rumors in the teahouse that I am very cruel.

More and more people perceive the sovereign to whom they are loyal to be cruel and unkind, and it is clear who is most benefited by such rumors.

If you are assassinated in the Second Prince's Mansion, then all the evidence will point to the Second Prince and even the people of Xichuan.

They may have wanted to cause a civil strife and take the opportunity to restore the Xia Kingdom. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu was a little shocked when he heard this, "Are they crazy?" ”

She couldn't. Understand, in order to revive a country that has already died, these people are really crazy to instigate another war.

"Of course, it was wrong for them to do this, but it was Xichuan who destroyed their country."

Yin Zhige's tone was very flat, as if he was telling a story.

"What we have to do is to get rid of all the remnants of these crazy Xia Kingdoms, so as to prevent them from doing anything irreparable."

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't say anything, there was no way to judge who was right and who was wrong in this matter.

Today's practice is only to ensure that their rights are not provoked.

"This matter is clearly on the table, and it will not be comfortable for anyone to do it."

Yin Zhige smiled slightly, Zhong Xiaoshu looked at him and hummed softly.

At night, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

After a busy day, people fall asleep, and the guards in charge of patrols patrol everywhere.

Xiao Cheng was about to blow out the lamp when an arrow came from nowhere, flew over her head, and nailed straight to the pillar.

In an instant, the fear of death was born in her heart, and she hurriedly pushed open the door and chased out.

But the courtyard was empty, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Xiao Cheng returned to the room with a sigh of relief, only to find a note stapled to the arrow.

She took the note off and saw that there were only a few words on it.

"Plans change, come quickly."
