Li Yiyan didn't delay much, and left when he said he would leave.

Ning Yunxiao looked at the bed that had not been touched and thought for a while, then directly shook off the quilt and fell asleep. Since Li Yiyan is in danger, then she stays here for one more night to cover, it is best to be able to deceive others, and there is no loss if she really wants to deceive.

At noon the next day, Ning Yunxiao calmly opened the door and left, and judging from the surprised expressions of some people, they obviously didn't know that Li Yiyan had quietly left the night before.

Back at Mei Mansion, Ning Yunxiao saw Master Mei from afar, and fled without thinking. The memory of the other days is still vivid, and if he chats for a long time like a daughter-in-law, then she really can't stand it. Before, it was just to force Mei Shaoyu to tell the truth, but now she is not interested in continuing to deal with this.

Back in his room, Ning Yunxiao dismissed all his subordinates, and then, Changli jumped off the beam.

"Write down this information and the copy that the emperor gave you before, these chess pieces, you can still use them." Seeing that Changli was going to be persuaded, Ning Yunxiao smiled and said, "I know that the emperor is worried about me, and I also know what you mean, you can rest assured, I spare my life, it really comes to a critical juncture, I will definitely use it, but under normal circumstances, I don't want to waste so many years of deployment by the emperor and the emperor!" ”

Changli was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Then what do we do next?" About the previous desert quilt ...... Don't check it anymore? And this time there was almost an accident in the palace, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Ning Yunxiao said coldly: "Of course it's not that simple. In the desert, although Mei Shaoyu admitted that he saw the other party's strategy early on and just went with the flow to force out my ability, and did not contribute to the trouble, I think it is not completely credible. Moreover, this time the palace was poisoned, although the palace maid was the person next to the third princess, it was really hard to say who was behind it. ”

"Actually, I think it should be the eldest princess, she has the most purpose and the most scheming, and whether the poisoning is successful or not, it can be regarded as involving the third princess."

"She's the most likely, but others don't necessarily have it." Ning Yunxiao said as she pulled off the hairpin on her head to remove her makeup, "The third princess seems to be innocent, she may be able to maneuver with each other among the eldest princess, the queen, and a group of ministers with different thoughts, and they are by no means simple characters, this time they were framed so easily, this is just like Mei Shaoyu did not stop it, or deliberately used some means, but it is unknown." But if that's the case, then I have to re-evaluate the ability of the third princess. ”

Chang Li's heart sank when he heard this, he had never thought of these things before, but at this moment, he was reminded by Ning Yunxiao, and his face darkened in an instant.

However, after he figured it out, it was more about Ning Yunxiao's distress. Ning Yunxiao is indeed smart, but she is not a scheming person, after being with Li Yiyan, she has made long-term progress, all because she loves Li Yiyan, so she really put her heart into learning, and wants to really help him in some aspects.

But a person who is not good at calculation, to get to this point, it is to force herself to imagine and accept the sinister nature of the human heart, and even, sometimes, she deliberately imagines the human heart to a particularly unbearable state, in order to predict the worst possible outcome.

Changli is a subordinate, but she is also a person who has really watched Ning Yunxiao all the way, so she naturally understands what kind of determination she has made to do this.

"Even if it is for the emperor and the princess, the mother must take good care of herself." In the end, Changli only said one sentence, and swallowed everything else.

Ning Yunxiao nodded slightly, the smile on his face looked a little tired, but he didn't say much. Yesterday was in a strange place, and she never slept too deeply, so today she was tired, and she fell asleep with a gentle wave of her hand.

With the protection of Changli Zaiming and a group of secret guards, Ning Yunxiao can be regarded as completely relieved. But this peace of mind also has the benefit of reassuring, back to the plum mansion but only in the afternoon, a sleep until dinner, long left to wake her up in a daze to eat something, then went back to sleep, until the next day the sun rose high before getting up.

Ning Yunxiao was taken aback by herself, and said long: "Everyone is tired these days, and Niangniang has experienced so many things, and her mind has not relaxed for a moment, but now that she has temporarily settled down, she will naturally sleep soundly, and there is nothing wrong with taking this opportunity to rest." ”

"That's right." Ning Yunxiao thought of Li Ruoxi and sighed, "Bai Jinglian lured me to the Heavenly Banyan Kingdom, but he never really appeared, and he always used some strange means, as if he was planning something. Ruoxi should not be in any danger in his hands, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, once I really don't rush to find Ruoxi, it seems as if I have fallen into his trap. ”

"However, even if everything that is happening so far is counted on Bai Jinglian's body, there is no necessary connection between these things he planned, and it doesn't seem like a one-ring method, so what's the point of him doing this?" Changli is very puzzled.

But about this, Ning Yunxiao didn't understand it. Judging from Bai Jinglian's style of acting, it is impossible to do these things just for the sake of a momentary pleasure, but if you really want to find a suitable reason, there is no direction at all.

When Mei Shaoyu came in, he happened to see the appearance of the master and servant frowning and pondering, but no one noticed him, and he couldn't help coughing twice and deliberately reminded him.

The two looked at each other, with some surprise in their eyes, but also, Mei Shaoyu hadn't seen Ning Yunxiao for many days, and she was still a little unaccustomed to meeting suddenly.

"Uh...... I've got some clues about your daughter, would you like to hear about it? ”

Ning Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted, and said happily: "Have you found Ruoxi's whereabouts?" ”

"No, it's just a clue." Mei Shaoyu shook his head and said, "After all, I've been investigating for so many days, if there are no clues at all, it's too much to say." ”

Ning Yunxiao didn't care much about these side matters, but she understood the reason why he didn't show up these days, "Then what clues did you find?" ”

"In fact, as soon as I returned to the capital, I had already asked someone to start inquiring about the news, but there has been no progress. To this day, a guy in one of my shops told me that someone said that he knew the news I wanted, and I would come to you immediately. ”

"You mean, someone knows about Ruoxi's news, but they don't know what happened yet?" Ning Yunxiao was a little puzzled.

Mei Shaoyu said: "I'll explain to you on the specific road, I'll take you to find someone first, if the person under me is not mistaken, then nine times out of ten, that person already knows the specific news of Ruoxi." ”

"The man?" Ning Yunxiao asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"The first person in intelligence, the most famous intelligence merchant in the entire Tianrong Country!" Mei Shaoyu's eyes were a little blazing, as if everything was already a certainty.

Ning Yunxiao heard that he could still sit here, so he hurriedly pulled Mei Shaoyu and walked out, "Hurry up, go see him immediately!" ”

After looking for so many days, it was no wonder that she was so eager, but Mei Shaoyu still pulled out her hand tightly to prevent her from going out.

Facing Shangning Yunxiao's somewhat angry gaze, Mei Shaoyu looked at her, and then cried and laughed: "Okay, you can also put on your clothes, you go out like this, even if I don't worry, I won't worry about leaving!" ”

Ning Yunxiao blushed, only caring about her daughter's news, but forgetting that she had slept for a long time, and when she woke up, she was chatting with Changli for so long, and her clothes were not worn at all, and she didn't take care of anything.

"Okay, you clean up first, that person lives on the other side of the capital, it's quite far away, I'll go and prepare to get off the carriage first, and we'll take the carriage over." Mei Shaoyu let go of Ning Yunxiao's hand, gave her a reassuring look, and went out to prepare the carriage.

Changli also immediately exited the room, recruited a maid, helped Ning Yunxiao change clothes as quickly as possible, and then got into the carriage with Mei Shaoyu and went out.

After walking for half an hour, they came to the other side of the capital, and the three of them got out of the car.

It's completely different from the place where the Mei Mansion is located, although it's quite tidy, but the houses are very casually repaired, and the people wear simpler clothes, most of them are just coarse cloth. But it's no wonder that, in general, the places where these busy people gather are always better informed.

Most of the people who live in the capital are subconsciously unwilling to get involved in the affairs of others, while causing trouble, while the people here and the nobles in the capital rarely come and go, so they are unscrupulous about many things, as the only pastime after dinner.

Mei Shaoyu took her around and around to a small teahouse that looked a little old, although there were many people in it, but not many people were drinking tea, but they gathered into a table in twos and threes to pass the time.

Only in the corner sat a middle-aged man in neat clothes, who looked very different from the others.

Mei Shaoyu took Ning Yunxiao and Changli to sit down next to the middle-aged man, and went straight to the point: "I heard, do you know the news I want?" ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and waved, "Five thousand taels, if you can afford it, I'll tell you." ”

Mei Shaoyu didn't hesitate to take out a stack of silver tickets and put them on the table, "Say, as long as your news is true, I will come out with another five thousand taels." ”

"That's not necessary." The middle-aged man smiled lightly and checked the authenticity of the silver ticket, and then put it into his clothes, "But I do have an additional condition, you have to tell me what the relationship between that little girl is with you and why you must look for her." ”

Ning Yunxiao sneered, "Aren't you an intelligence merchant? It also needs to ask, how can we believe that the information you give us is true? ”

The middle-aged man glanced at her and said coldly: "You can ask the people around you, what is the most important thing for a businessman, I exchange what I know for what you know, fair trading of Tong Suo is not deceptive, if you don't believe me, I will immediately return your silver ticket, and this business will be revealed, anyway, it's not me who is in a hurry to find someone!" ”

"You ......" Ning Yunxiao was angry, but there was no other way.

Mei Shaoyu said roundly: "Since it is a business, then you should know that the customers are also very anxious, when you asked for five thousand taels at the beginning, you did not mention the exchange of information, and the price from the ground does not seem to be fair, right?" ”
