Before Yi Jing's words came out, she understood that she was too eager, it was true that she had made Yu Haoxi believe that she was very compatible with Xiao Man, but because of the change, Yu Haoxi was already suspicious of Xiao Man, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not suspect her too protective attitude, so for the sake of safety, Yi Jing followed and added a sentence with a willow eyebrow: "What does Your Highness mean that Shopkeeper Xiao has no intentions for approaching me?" ”

This has become a state of annoyance because of being calculated, so it is necessary to get to the bottom of it.

Only Yijing was nervously paying attention to the look of the Maharaja, not wanting another person who was "unwilling to be lonely" to interject, so he mistakenly gave Yijing a reasonable opportunity to express his opinions and "redress his grievances" for Xiao Man.

This person is Kong Xilin.

He snorted weirdly: "Su Wuniang, your chess skills are indeed not to be underestimated, I thought that the saying that Kyoto Shuanghua Minghui was outstanding was not a false rumor, even if you don't remember the past now, you should always understand the accident, but it is a big disappointment, a businesswoman, flattering and flattering with rhetoric, can deceive you as a confidant, don't you know that businessmen make profits, and there is a purpose for clinging to the nobles, and things have come to this point, do you still think that the Xiao family treats each other with sincerity?" Your Highness, this matter is obvious, it must be that Su Wu was deceived by the Xiao clan and revealed his identity during the conversation, so he was known by the Yan clan, and planned to use this handle to threaten them to achieve their ulterior motives. ”

Okay, since Kong Xilin moved his mouth, he put the responsibility on the top of Yijing's head, then Yijing certainly has to argue, and by the way, Xiao Man will be cleared.

But the first thing Yijing showed was surprise: "It turns out that Kong Lang is not stammering?" ”

"Porphyry", Xue Dongchang was very supportive.

Kong Xilin was obviously not so pleasant, the "yin and yang weirdness" froze at the corner of his lips, and his lazy and slanted gaze became sharp in an instant.

His Royal Highness suddenly came to his senses, and asked with a smile: "How could the fifth sister think that Xi Lin is stammering?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know, during your expedition, although Kong Lang played against me every once in a while, and the words of the Communist Party of China in the past few months were not more than today's words, which made me very puzzled, if I hadn't heard him open his mouth with my own ears, I would even suspect that Kong Lang was suffering from a dumb disease." Yijing didn't care about Kong Xilin's attitude that it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil, but he didn't want to be patient with his intention to find fault.

"I don't bother to talk to you." Kong Xilin snorted lightly.

"I didn't ask Kong Lang to play and talk with me." Yijing returned the sentence to him, measuring the heat just right, the two of them had reached a situation of disgust with each other, and then they began to fight back: "I don't know why Kong Lang thinks that I have introduced Xiao's shopkeeper as a confidant, and is defenseless against her, and even divulges his original identity and gives authority to others?" Xiao shopkeeper is a businesswoman, she through Tongyang female monarch and I climb the knot, nothing more than to take over the embroidery work of the Maharaja's mansion, in order to make money, she wants to flatter and flatter, but the craftsmanship of the neon embroidery workshop is indeed extraordinary, and Xiao shopkeeper has a lot of courtesy, and knows a lot of anecdotes, and she is physically and mentally happy, this is also human nature, no one likes to talk more with Hengmei cold, right? ”

Yijing looked at the Maharaja: "Your Highness, although I don't remember the past, but I also received a lot of tips from Mrs. Xue and Jiaoyu some time ago, and I know how to socialize with others, and I don't know how to measure things, so how can I easily leak my identity?" ”

"I believe that the fifth sister did not leak it." The Maharaja immediately said, glancing at Kong Xilin with some warning.

Yijing and Xiao's correspondence are under the surveillance of Pan'er, if he really said something that should not be said, Pan'er would have reported it to the monarch a long time ago, and the monarch's words of trust are not groundless empty talk.

"Then can Your Highness tell him why he suspects Shopkeeper Xiao?" Yijing asked as a matter of course.

"The Yan family who gave the gift today is the owner of the Niyi Bureau, and the Ni Yi Embroidery Workshop is originally a shop under the Yan family."

I see, Yi Jing frowned slightly: "So there is indeed something suspicious about Shopkeeper Xiao, but I really can't figure out how she can find out my identity, besides, Shopkeeper Xiao came to the banquet yesterday and didn't show anything strange." ”

"Of course she won't show any surprises, otherwise wouldn't there be no silver here, how can she make friends with Su Wuniang in the future?" Although Kong Xilin received a warning from His Royal Highness the Great Monarch, he was particularly impetuous today, and he couldn't help but ridicule again.

"Kong Lang is reasonable, but I don't understand, if the shopkeeper Xiao is afraid of being questioned, why does the Yan family send the letter openly? Doesn't this clearly mean that they have pinched my handle and want to use this to blackmail, since everything that has no silver here has been done, how can they be afraid of this suspicion. ”

"That's right!" Xue Dongchang slapped his knee heavily: "Your Highness, this matter is a bit strange, if someone really wants to do something threatening, how can he show his true face in a grand manner, since he decided to show his true face, Xiao had the opportunity to speak bluntly yesterday, why send a secret letter every other day, wouldn't it be too much?" ”

"The Xiao family may not have the opportunity to avoid speaking out, although the Yan family is a wealthy businessman and has some roots in Xiliang, but they don't have the courage to directly argue with the Maharaja, but they dare to threaten Su Wu, so they want to avoid the people of the Maharaja's Mansion and meet you privately." Kong Xi said.

"This doesn't make sense, how can the Yan clan not know the importance that His Royal Highness attaches to Wu Niang, how can Wu Niang travel without a guard." Xue Dongchang said.

"Your Highness, I suspect that the messenger did not want to bypass His Highness at all, but because he did not have the opportunity to meet me, and did not want to show his true face, he would send the letter in the name of the Yan family, this matter should have nothing to do with the Yan family and the shopkeeper Xiao, otherwise it really can't be explained." Yi Jing analyzed: "I don't have anything worth threatening others, their purpose must be achieved by His Royal Highness, since the Yan family is a rich businessman, do they dare to brazenly threaten the monarch just for money?" ”

Yi Jing saw Yu Haoxi frowning, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, after this defense, he finally chose Xiao Man for the time being, this contact was finally established, if it was interrupted, it would not be easy for Yu Feng to let the dark person infiltrate again, Wei Ran had to take the risk of contacting her, then there was a high possibility of exposure.

However, in order to completely clear Xiao Man's suspicion, the identity of the messenger must be clarified.

"There are not many people in Xiliang who have seen Su Wu's appearance, if it weren't for Su Wuniang's words being accidentally noticed, how could this matter be understood?" Kong Xilin was still unconvinced, and argued forcefully: "If it really has nothing to do with the Yan family, there is only one possibility...... The messenger must have been entrusted by Yu Feng, the king of Chu, to contact Su Wuniang privately in order to save her from it. ”

When Kong Xilin said this, he glanced at Yijing sarcastically, and sneered secretly, I really don't know how Yu Feng would feel when he learned that he was scheming and easily found an opportunity to send a letter in, but he was handed over to the Dajun by Su Wu himself.

But his voice fell, and this time he didn't even need to refute Yijing, so the prince snatched the rickety folding fan in Kong Xilin's hand and knocked on his head with a "snap": "Xiao Wu, I think you don't have a ruthless father and evil mother to oppress you, your life is too leisurely, and your brain is rusty?" Such a ridiculous thing can be said, it is even worse than Dongchang. ”

Xue Dongchang was obviously lying down, but he didn't care, and even sighed quite comfortingly: "Your Highness is wise, Xiao Wu has always been inferior to me, you finally understand." ”

The monarch didn't believe that Yu Feng would "rescue" Yijing in such a ridiculous way, and sent a letter in to meet someone outside. If Yu Feng really thinks that this method is feasible, why not start to implement it while he is on an expedition, no matter how you think about it, it will be a bigger success at that time, but of course the prince does not want to praise Yu Feng's intelligence in front of Yi Jing, and he will never make this decision, so he forcibly reversed the topic: "I think the analysis of the fifth sister is reasonable, the messenger must not be for money, but for a greater purpose, but he does not want to show the truth, indicating that he must be jealous, since he knows that he can only deliver the letter to the fifth sister in the name of the Yan clan, Should you know that the fifth sister has dealings with the Xiao family, can the fifth sister be suspicious? ”

"It's hard to say right now." Yi Jing shook his head: "But this letter is not delivered sooner or later, it should be that this person has just learned my identity, so everyone who went to the banquet yesterday is suspicious, because Shopkeeper Xiao is my invited guest, and the more than ten female relatives are all in their eyes, what I can't figure out is how the other party learned my identity?" If I didn't leak it, then the only possibility was that someone recognized me, but just my appearance was not enough to make the other party sure. ”

"Qianpan" and Princess Xiao of Chu seem to be well-known in the streets, even if there are people who have seen the beautiful scenery before, they only think that "it is really Xiao like", and it cannot be concluded that the two are originally the same person.

Yijing has not gone out to show up since the last time he went out with the monarch, and the contact with outsiders is also very limited, except for the relationship with Tongyang, those little nobles' female dependents have never seen the princess of Chu, they can't understand the truth, then, the only possibility is that among the guests who went to the banquet yesterday, someone recognized Yijing, and was sure that she was not Qianpan but the princess of Chu.

But who has the ability to do this?

Yi Jing is sure that except for An Jin, it should be impossible for anyone in the Xiliang nobles to recognize her at a glance, so what is the basis for the other party to determine her identity? It's not what it looks like......

Yijing suddenly thought of a possibility.

"It's Xia Ke!" was robbed by the monarch: "Someone should have recognized the maid next to the fifth sister." ”

Then this range is very narrow, it is nothing more than those female monarchs who have accompanied Jin Yuan to envoy Dalong, it is possible to notice that the maidservants of the Chu Palace's mansion appeared next to the "Qianpan" who was similar to the princess Xiao, and understood the truth like an empowerment.

But these beautiful scenes can't be spoken, she is in amnesia, how can she remember how many Xiliang nobles she used to have dealings with.

However, there are still things that cannot be figured out about this matter.

Sure enough, I heard the monarch ask: "The fifth sister can meet with the female monarch of the Hu and Qing clans yesterday?" ”

Yijing said: "I didn't go out of Donghuayuan yesterday, except for the women who were invited, I haven't seen anyone else, Xia Ke has always been by my side, almost never leaving. ”

In other words, the only female monarch I have ever seen is Tongyang.

"Tongyang?" The Maharaja frowned, really suspicious: "If she had that memory, she would have recognized Xia Ke early in the morning, but she didn't have a seizure until this time...... Could it be that he intends to use this as a threat to let me rescue Gong Jiang? ”

"If it's really Tongyang, there's no need to hide it, because once the purpose is proposed, her identity will be revealed." Yi Jing was also puzzled: "I think, apart from Tongyang, is it possible that someone else...... Maybe it's the maidservant who accompanied the female family yesterday, or maybe it's someone who knew me and Xia Ke in the past. ”

Yi Jing is not sure, she used to travel widely in Dalong, and often showed her face, Xia Ke is a maid who specially followed her out to the banquet, it is very likely to be remembered, those Dalong noblewomen, the maids around the noblewomen, may also be displaced to Xiliang for various reasons, it happened that yesterday with the main family to the banquet, recognized her and Xia Ke, but Yijing does not have unforgettable talents, it is impossible to remember those maids who have had one or several sides, I am afraid that Xia Ke did not find anything strange, otherwise it would not be all without indication.

Compared with the Maharaja, Yijing is even more afraid of this person who hides in the shadows and knows her true identity, and must not let it go.

Therefore, she took the initiative: "Your Highness, if you want to find out this person, I will go in person after three days." ”

The Maharaja hesitated and bowed slightly.

And Kong Xilin analyzed the possible truth after seeing these two people in a few words, and finally suppressed his disbelief and contempt, so that his disdainful gaze did not stab at Yijing from time to time, and turned to stare at a branch of flowers outside the window in a daze.

So three days later, under the escort of a team of personal soldiers led by Xue Dongchang, Yijing was accompanied by more than ten white-clothed maids, and went to the Yunshan Tea Workshop with great momentum, and before a moment later, it was an inconspicuous gray-clothed old woman who pushed the door in, with a face full of age marks and rough fingers, like a rough farmer, who seemed to have no connection with the nobles.

But this woman's words are very sharp.

She didn't care about the Commander Xue who was eyeing him in the elegant room, and blurted out: "I really didn't expect that the dignified princess of Chu would go out of the wall with red apricots, turn her back on the family of the Dalong clan, and come to my Xiliang as a disgraceful concubine!" ”
