Chapter 469: Inquiry
Liu Yu and Liu Wen are different.
At Liu Wen's age, no matter what she wanted to do secretly from someone just now, Liu Yan was only worried about whether she would be in trouble.
But Liu Yu is different.
Who did she meet?
Which relative is it? Or a friend she made herself?
Longan also took it to heart, and asked the lotus seeds together with Ginkgo.
Even if you don't see your face clearly, what about anything else? It can't be that you haven't seen it all in real, right?
For example, are you tall?
Lianzi has always been careful, she thought about it seriously, and stretched out her hand to measure: "He is at least a head taller than the fifth princess." β
Gui Yuan immediately asked, "How tall is the fifth princess?" β
"It's about the same as me."
"Understood...... Then this person is not His Royal Highness the Four Princes. Gui Yuan asked again: "Young or old?" Can you see this? β
"It's definitely not that old, and the person is not fat at all, looking at the silhouette and thin."
"What kind of clothes are you wearing?"
"Blue." Lianzi explained: "Many people today wear riding clothes of this color, and they can't tell by their clothes. β
Gui Yuan nodded: "This is also true." β
In today's horse racing, many people wear riding clothes of similar styles and colors.
"Is there anything else you can remember?"
Lianzi shook her head.
Her first task at that time was to keep an eye on Lord Wen, and she didn't dare to relax at all. The matter of the fifth princess, when changing sides, the lotus seeds must be looked at carefully, but today is really not a coincidence.
Gui Yuan groaned slightly: "The princess is also concerned about this matter, let's think about it." β
Ginkgo and Longan nodded together.
Their unspoken worries were all the same.
I'm afraid that if the fifth princess does something dishonorable, in case it will hinder the honor...... They don't care about her name and longan, they are afraid that they will be tired of their own princess.
Gui Yuan made up his mind and immediately assigned an errand to them: "Lotus seed, you change your clothes, and go to the fifth princess to deliver something with Ginkgo, just send some fruit, and say that I invite the fifth princess to taste it, and see if she is back, and if there is anything unusual." β
Ginkgo biloba and lotus seeds should come down together.
"Don't bother to probe, it's not good if they find out."
"Don't worry, sister, we understand."
Gui Yuan turned his head and called the bean soup: "You go and inquire, don't be too deliberate, the fifth princess will not go out alone, whether it is a eunuch or a guard, someone must see when their master and servant went out and when they came back, see how long they have been out in total, come back and talk to me in detail." β
Doutang said: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely ask clearly." β
Longan is still quite relieved of them, and they have also experienced it in a few years, and the ginkgo is not so reckless now, and the bean soup has grown a lot. I remember when I came to Anhe Palace before, the kid Doutang was impetuous, although he was not stupid, but he was only a little clever, and he could see clearly at a glance that little calculation, and he was competing with people all day long for some melons and dates, wanting to be in the limelight in front of the princess, and always wanting to get a little more money.
It's nothing, most of the eunuchs in the palace are like this, and there is hardly any eunuch who doesn't love money.
But now that the bean soup is calm, he is getting more and more sophisticated in speaking and doing things, and he will think about things before doing things, and he is much more thoughtful.
Tell him to do something, and Gui Yuan has nothing to worry about.
After a while, they all returned.
Ginkgo biloba and they came back first, after all, they sent something, and it was so close, even if they wanted to stay longer, they couldn't do it.
"The fifth princess has returned, and her clothes have changed." Lianzi said, "But maybe it hasn't changed...... When the slave maid was outside just now, the fifth princess wore a thin snow-blue cloak. β
"Where's the look?"
"There's nothing unusual about the look." Ginkgo said: "There is no tiredness, it is similar to usual, and there is no restlessness. β
Gui Yuan was not too disappointed with their reply.
Originally, Gui Yuan didn't expect them to find out anything after a trip - if it was really that obvious, it would be so easy to find out the clues, it would only mean that the matter could not be covered up, and something was going to happen.
"What do you say about sending things to the fifth princess?"
"It's just two polite words, saying thank you to our princess for thinking about it, and tasting a fruit, saying that it is delicious."
"Can it be delicious, that's a tribute, our princess is all sharp here, she may not have such a good fruit to eat."
Although the princesses have the same share, it is the same fruit, and the one given to Anhegong may have been carefully picked, so big and red, that they can't be picked out by the slightest bump or insect eye. As for the fifth princess, it is also a basket, and she will not intentionally give her bad and rotten, but she will not deliberately pick it up for her.
After a while, the bean soup also returned.
He inquired about a lot more news than Ginkgo biloba.
"The fifth princess went out more than half of the time, brought two palace maids, and the high eunuch beside her, and the time of the high eunuch was not long, and the guard on shift told me that he remembered very clearly, and the fifth princess came back at the beginning of the unitary time. This back and forth, plus the time spent on the road, didn't have much effort left to meet and talk. β
"Is there anything else?"
Doutang nodded: "Yes." He lowered his voice and leaned closer and said, "Actually, he said that the fifth princess also went out the day before yesterday, and it was about the same time as today, and she will be back soon." They all felt that the fifth princess was just relaxing nearby, and they didn't go far anyway, so they didn't pay much attention. β
"Also, Eunuch Gao has been in and out several times in the past two days, and he also went out yesterday when it was almost dark, and when he came back, he hugged a box."
"What's in the box?"
"I don't know about this, he hugged it himself, and didn't let others help himβit's because of this guard that he thinks it's strange."
Like bean soup and high eunuchs, they have to be trusted by the master's side, and some of their subordinates are little eunuchs who run errands for them, usually their clothes, shoes and socks are washed, and when they go back to the house, there are people who rush to serve the face wash, even if they run errands and send something or something, some people are willing to work for them.
Gui Yuan nodded.
It all sounds like a trifle.
The five princesses went out the day before yesterday and went out today, not necessarily to meet the same person, and the box that Eunuch Gao brought back yesterday was not necessarily to pass on something for the five princesses - but Gui Yuan never regarded everything as an accident and coincidence.
"I'll be back in the palace in two days, you should keep an eye on it for the past two days, and if there is any change, come and tell me."
The bean soup responded: "I know, I must keep an eye on them." β
Gui Yuan felt that she had arranged it carefully, but she never thought that the fifth princess came over after dinner, saying that she was looking for their princess to talk.
Liu Yan asked her, "How is your body today?" Do you have a cough or fever? Then he said, "I have a box of coral beads here, so you can pick some and bring them back to play with." β
