Li Xing'er knelt in Pei Daozhu's ear and said softly: "The news I heard in Xie Mansion, now that King Langya has been killed by river thieves, the eldest prince is dedicated to cultivating the Tao and does not care about the world, the third prince has returned to the fiefdom, and only the second prince can inherit the throne in the court...... It is not for nothing that the second princess is so proud. ”

Pei Daozhu raised an eyebrow.

No wonder this group of noble ladies of the family stammered with the Xiao Qin clan so much......

It was originally to have a good relationship with the future queen mother.

It's just that Xiao Qin's appearance looks like a villain, and he doesn't look like a woman who can be a queen at all.

She said, "I see, it's still far away." ”

While the two were talking, Xiao Qin's clan also noticed them.

She swayed her waist lightly, and stepped down the stairs in a charming manner: "Yo, it's a coincidence, I met the Duchess of the county and Miss Li." The two of you are also here to buy satin? I don't know which one I liked, but say it, I'll buy it for you. ”

Li Xing'er met her and said seriously: "I have taken a fancy to these Shu brocades." I don't need the second princess to break the bank, when I came to Jiankang, my mother gave a lot of money, enough to buy these Shu brocade. ”

Xiao Qin gritted his teeth.

originally wanted to use these Shu brocades to buy Li Xing'er, so that the Li family could work hard for her husband, but she didn't expect this dead girl to refuse to accept her kindness.

What's the benefit of following Pei Daozhu, can her husband be the emperor?!

Surely not!

Something with no eyes!

Xiao Qin's clan snorted unhappily, quite a bit yin and yang: "The Li clan is a big clan of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and it has taken root in the north for many years, so naturally there is no shortage of money. Miss Li is arrogant, and it is reasonable that she looks down on the three melons and two dates of this concubine. ”

Li Xing'er pursed her lips, only to feel that she didn't like what she said.

"It's just—"

Xiao Qin walked to the pile of Shu brocades, stretched out his hand and stroked them: "It's just that these Shu brocades were originally in love with me early on, and I love them so much that I want to buy them back and cut two clothes for His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I won't let them be given to Miss Li." Why don't you pick a few more pieces of cloth? ”

Li Xing'er secretly clenched her fists.

She was born in a famous family, her father had a heavy army, and when she was in the north, no one dared to rob her like this!

Xiao Qin's ......

It's so deceitful!

She was about to get angry, but Pei Daozhu grabbed her sleeve in time.

Li Xing'er looked back and saw Pei Daozhu shaking her head lightly, so she had to give up unwillingly.

Pei Daozhu turned to ask the shopkeeper of the silk village: "These Shu brocades, have they ever been booked by the second princess?" ”

The shopkeeper complimented: "After the second princess and the ladies entered the door, they went straight upstairs, and they had never seen these Shu brocades, how could they make a reservation?" ”

Pei Daozhu smiled: "I haven't seen it before, so why talk about falling in love early in the morning?" The second princess is in a high position, and she has never seen anything rare, so why deliberately snatch things from a little girl in Xing'er? ”

"You-" Xiao Qin was furious and glanced at the shopkeeper fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Do you know who I am?! ”

The shopkeeper is neither humble nor arrogant: "You are the second princess." ”

Xiao Qin's blood attacked: "You know that you dare to help Pei Daozhu!" ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and didn't speak again.

Li Xing'er saw some signs.

Shu was captured by Xiao Heng, as a specialty of Shu brocade, it is natural to sell to Jiangnan through his channels, and since this silk village is the only shop that sells Shu brocade, it is Xiao Heng's industry.

The shopkeeper of the silk village is facing Pei Daozhu, which is naturally not surprising.

Pei Daozhu instructed the shopkeeper in front of Xiao Qin's family: "Pick up these Shu brocades and send them to Xie Mansion, and the account will be recorded in my name." ”

The shopkeeper answered and immediately went to do it.

Xiao Qin's family stared at Pei Daozhu: "Do you know the current situation between the DPRK and China?" ”

"I know, several princes in the court, they are dead and gone, and the one who will inherit the throne in the future is about the Second Highness." Pei Daozhu smiled, "But, so what? ”

Even if Sima Qi inherits the throne, but now that the imperial power is withering, the family is in power, and Sima Qi doesn't even have military power in his hands, what can he do to show off his might?

There is no name of the Son of Heaven but no reality of the Son of Heaven, but it is just a tiger made of blank paper, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Qin's face was red, his ears were red, and he gritted his teeth: "That's the Son of Heaven......"

"Whether I can sit in that seat is still unknown."

Pei Daozhu sneered, too lazy to continue to deal with her, and left directly with Li Xing'er.

The two walked along the Qinhuai River, and Li Xing'er showed admiration: "During the time I came to Jiankang, everyone said that Sister Pei was sleek and introverted, but when I looked at it, it was clear that she was sharp!" Just now, the second princess was about to be angry with you! However, now only the second prince can inherit the throne, although the real royal family is nothing, but in the end it bears the reputation of the Son of Heaven...... Sister Pei rashly offended the second princess, is it really not important? ”

Pei Daozhu didn't care: "After traveling around Xihai City, I realized that military power in this world is the most important." Without military power, even if he holds the national seal, what is it? But then again, it would be nice if the King of Langya was still alive...... At least, at least Xiao Qin's family can be less arrogant. ”

After the two of them finished walking around the Qinhuai River, it was already dusk.

Pei Daozhu returned to the garden of Xiao Mansion and saw Xiao Heng standing under the porch, listening to his subordinates report something.

As she approached, the matter was finished, and the guard saluted her respectfully and withdrew.

Pei Daozhu saw Xiao Heng's face glowing, and couldn't help but wonder: "But what's the happy event?" ”

Xiao Heng smiled slightly: "Sima Changle, King of Langya, he is still alive." ”

Pei Daozhu was stunned: "How come? Didn't it mean that the whole ship was killed? The bodies are going to be buried......"

"You know that I used to be a case investigator, and I have always been careful about murders and corpses, but yesterday I asked someone to check the number of people on board, only to find that there was one person missing, and it was a young man of the same age as King Langya. I was suspicious, and sent my right-hand man to avoid the eyes and ears of Sima Qi and the other families to re-examine the autopsy, he had just come to report that the so-called 'Langya King' had rough hands covered with calluses, very wide joints, and very rough skin......"

Pei Daozhu suddenly realized: "The royal family is pampered, even men are born with fine skin and tender meat, and it is impossible to have calluses on both hands...... So you suspect that the dead 'King Langya' is the little guy, and the real King Langya has already escaped! ”

"The question now is, where did he flee to." Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, "He is penniless, and he is a child who has never been far away, how can he survive in the unfamiliar Jiankang City?" ”

From the depths of the garden came the chirping of birds in the forest.

A ray of sunset light gently fell on Pei Daozhu's cheeks, she reached out and stroked her sideburns that were blown up by the wind, and a person suddenly jumped out of her mind-
